It doesn't. Your first line is a question. Which is fine. But your opening should be question ---> my answer to question which leads to why I think that is the answer to the question. and then the format that I said.
Like I could say, "Is Democracy the best form of government? Yes, it is."
Here's why:
Reason 1
Reason 2
Reason 3
Conclusion: So it should be clear to you now, because of reasons 1 2 and 3, why Democracy is the best form of government.
I wish that I could run a focus group because I'm sure that many would agree with you but I think that others might not agree; it's hard to know how to evaluate a single person's viewpoint.
To give you some additional context. What I’m talking about would look like.
BOLD QUOTE
Beginning paragraph: 3-5 sentences, ending with the point you’re trying to make.
Middle Paragraphs(3-5): As many as you like, but you should not have more than one direct quote per paragraph. Paraphrasing you can do as much as you want.
(Basically, every paragraph is the same structure as the whole piece. That is, Beginning. Here’s what the paragraph is about. Middle, here’s my evidence. End, here’s my conclusion of the paragraph based on that evidence.)
End Paragraph: basically sum up everything you’ve covered very briefly and because of that, THIS is my conclusion, which YOU should now agree with because my evidence is good and my argument is well structured.
I think that your ideas are probably correct; I just would love to ask a few more people as well to see how many people share your view...I'm just unsure what I would find if I sampled opinion broadly.
I’d recommend to try it at least once as a challenge. It won’t be easy.
But go to any news site out there and you’ll see that the structure I’m talking about is the structure they use. It is how you form and write an argument.
From his perch at Cambridge University (but not allowed in the Economics Dept.), Ha-Joon Chang has been said over the decades what the Economics profession cannot say--about development, industrialization, and globalization.
I generally give your work a a quick read because of its length and because I am literally reading dozens of articles pretty much all the time and only drilling down on those that I am using in the moment for my research and writing. When I like your stuff which I usually but not always do, I file it away under Andrew. in my gmail account, You are among an elite few that a file. Cheer, gb
Thanks for the shout-out! Hopefully my book about this will come out next year...
I'm excited to interview you! :)
I want to scream looking at your formatting and “writing”.
You should:
1. Have one quote, and one only, in bold at the top, which should be a good example of what you are going to say.
2. Beginning: here’s what I’m going to talk about and the point I’m going to make.
3. Middle: here is my evidence and explanation of the point in trying to make. Here is a quote to back up what I’m trying to say.
4. End: here is a brief summary of what we talked about and my conclusion based on the evidence we covered in the Middle.
Thanks! I'll look into that for sure; sounds like a good idea.
You’ve definitely got the material, you just need your voice.
For example, doesn't the first sentence of the article explain the topic quite well? I don't know; this is why a focus group would be helpful.

Nice work as usual Andrew.
Did you read it super fast? This was a quick reply! :)
