This article discusses bailouts and cases in which they both helped and hurt the economy
in which they were instituted. This is important because bailouts are primarily instituted in more
centrally controlled economies. This article allows a rhetorical thinker to see an aspect of a
centrally controlled economy, take note of its merits and pitfalls, which in turn can help them
take a side in the rhetorical discussion. The discourse community this article is written for is a
public audience, and it was written by an expert in the field. I know this because there are a
number of credentials at the bottom of the page that state he is a famous scholar and has directed
a number of academic programs. This specific article is shorter in length and is written more
simplistically for a more general audience. This article has a high level of credibility, or ethos,
due to his stature in the field. Furthermore, there is a works cited at the end of the article that
provides further articles I can reference later. I will use this article to provide examples and
application of my main concepts to my readers.
