Okay, I have my definition.
Now I need help with discussing the ideology in the article.
Make sure you have read the article more than once -- probably more than twice!

First you need to identify the primary ideology used in the article. Then find several (preferably 3+) places in the article to use as examples/details that support your identification of the ideology.

Only you can do this.
Okay, here's what I came up with by breaking the argument down:

Prmise 1: All people posses self interest and are dependent on each other.

Premise 2: The top 1% posses a high self interest.

Conclusion: Thus the top 1% are dependent on the other 99%.

Therefore the ideology being discussed involves understanding the concept of self interest properly understood.

Is that correct?
Please look at the acticle in the Critical Thinking post about Stiglitz and then answer the question. Also look at my above attempt and provide feedback. Thank you
