Question 1

Selected: b. I'm sure he didn't break the law.

ProPublica’s reporting on Bezos (and other ultra-wealthy individuals) highlighted very
low or zero federal income tax in certain years due to legal mechanisms: unrealised
capital gains are not taxed as income, deductions, carry-forwards, and the structure
of wealth (stock holdings rather than high taxable salaries). The reporting did not
demonstrate criminal tax evasion. One can debate whether the tax code should be
changed, but the statement as given does not establish illegality. Option a is pure anti-
tax rhetoric; c and d are distractions; e assumes injustice without first establishing
illegality or net harm.

Question 2

Selected: b. I’m sure they will build the necessary infrastructure so that people
will not be affected.

Water use by data centres and AI is real and growing, but it is a solvable engineering
and pricing problem, not an inevitable catastrophe. Markets, regulation, and
technology (recycling, dry cooling, siting in water-abundant or coastal areas, efficiency
gains) routinely expand supply or reduce intensity when scarcity prices rise. Historical
precedent with other industrial water users supports adaptation over alarm. Options a
and e are flippant; c and d assume permanent failure or deliberate malice without
evidence.

Question 3

Selected: a. Good for him – he is brilliant and worked hard to earn this.

(Note: as of the latest available data Musk is not a trillionaire, but treating the
hypothetical.) Extreme wealth from creating companies that deliver electric vehicles,
reusable rockets, satellite internet, and AI tools at scale is the opposite of zero-sum
extraction. It reflects large consumer surplus and capital allocation that improved
productivity. Moral objections to the absolute size of the fortune (d, e) treat wealth as
inherently suspect rather than evaluating how it was generated and what it funded.
Envy (b) and tax assumptions (c) are irrelevant to the creation process.

Question 4

Selected: c. Capitalism is absolutely the only viable economic system, so yes,
this is true and right.

Market systems with private property, prices, and profit-and-loss feedback have
produced the largest sustained rises in living standards, life expectancy, and absolute
poverty reduction in history. Every large-scale alternative (central planning, pure
socialism) has produced shortages, stagnation, or worse. Fisher’s line is a cultural
observation about imaginative failure among certain intellectuals; it does not refute the
empirical track record. Options a and b are dismissive; d and e treat the observation
as profound insight rather than a symptom of limited economic literacy.

Question 5

Selected: b. It is completely possible to make a fortune by legal means – in fact
this is what I intend to do in my life.

Balzac’s aphorism is literary cynicism, not a law of economics. Fortunes are routinely
built through voluntary exchange, innovation, and scaling valuable products/services
under rule of law (software, retail, logistics, manufacturing). Crime can produce wealth,
but it is neither necessary nor typical for the largest modern fortunes. Options d and e
collapse legality into morality and treat scale itself as evidence of wrongdoing.

Question 6

Selected: e. It is morally unacceptable for a single child to die of a preventable
disease and we should collectively fix this irrespective of the cost.

Preventable child mortality from poverty-related causes is a clear moral failure and a
solvable problem (vaccines, oral rehydration, basic sanitation, malaria control,
economic growth). The cost is not infinite; targeted interventions have already driven
massive declines. Options a–c are callous or Malthusian; d treats cost as a permanent
barrier rather than a constraint to be optimised.

Question 7

Selected: a. Well, the cost of living in Australia must be higher.
