The Detroit River International Crossing Bridge
內容大綱
This case discusses the only privately owned bridge between Canada and the United States and the possible construction of a second competing and publicly owned bridge. With an upcoming crucial vote on the fate of the public bridge, a Michigan student must decide how to vote and whether she believes that a central public infrastructure should be privately held. She contemplates a deeper issue as well – the fundamental principle of capitalism, a system that sometimes perpetuates inequalities since individuals are rewarded for their hard work and are able to defend their self-interests. The student recognizes that her vote is not just about the future of the public bridge but also about her beliefs in balancing individualism and equality.
