Regulation and Economic Analysis: A Critique Over Two Centuries

Editura: SPRINGER VERLAG GMBH

Anul aparitiei: 1994

Regulation and Economic Analysis: A Critique Over Two Centuries argues that long experience with the practice of regulation creates a broad anti-intervention consensus among economists. This consensus is based on comparison of real intervention to real markets rather than an ideological preconception. It is shown that economic theory can support all possible positions on intervention. Much theory is too abstract to support any policy position; many arguments about how intervention might help contain qualifications expressing doubts about whether the potential can be realized; many theories illustrate the drawbacks of intervention. The vast literature on these issues concentrates either on specific cases or polemics that exaggerate both sides of the argument. Regulation and Economic Analysis seeks to show the depth of the discontent, develop interpretations of economic theory that follow from skepticism about statism and provide selected illustrations. The discussion begins with examination of general equilibrium theory and proceeds to discuss market failure with stress on monopoly and particularly what is deemed excessive concern with predatory behavior.

The Emperor Has No Clothes! the Crisis in American Inner City Schools

Editura: OUTSKIRTS PR

Anul aparitiei: 2008

Violence, Race, and Low Pupil Achievement in Inner City Schools. Few if any observers of inner city education have dared to address the key questions so frankly and in a manner so contrary to the views of the politically correct. How do we explain the terrible achievement of black pupils at all school levels and at all socio-economic levels? What about violence and security in these schools? Is it true that some inner city school administrators will do anything to keep the public from discovering the real situation? What is the truth about affirmative action programs? How do poor pupil values affect their actual school achievement? Are there significant differences between white teachers and school administrators, and black teachers and school administrators? Have black leaders helped or hurt black pupil achievement? What happens when blacks control their own school systems? What does the future of urban education look like?

The Eternal Source: The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu, a New Interpretation for the Twenty-First Century

Editura: IUNIVERSE STAR

Anul aparitiei: 2009

o The Tao Te Ching is one of the oldest and most translated books in history. Over the past 2500 years, these eighty-one rudimentary verses have been translated, interpreted, and paraphrased innumerable times-probably almost as much as the Bible. o The true beauty of the Tao Te Ching lies in its simplicity and general lack of law, codes, or dogma. The Tao Te Ching says that true wisdom cannot simply be written in words or symbols-it must be lived and experienced. And, he who is truly wise does not even know how wise he is. o The sage, the prophet, or enlightened one, is simply called The Person. The Person understands and appreciates his impermanence and unrelenting move to complete union with the ETERNAL SOURCE. o The Person who is ultimately concerned about his relationship with God or ultimate reality and the possibility of reunion and centering within that source has already been grasped by the ETERNAL SOURCE. This act of grace is available to all. There is no need to ask any further questions or do anything: no words, no actions, no worship, no sacrifice. Anything additional would only distort reality. The Person who is centered within the ETERNAL SOURCE simply lives the ...

The Science of Algal Fuels: Phycology, Geology, Biophotonics, Genomics and Nanotechnology

Editura: SPRINGER VERLAG GMBH

Anul aparitiei: 2012

This volume, The Science of Algal Fuels (volume 25 of COLE), contains 26 chapters dealing with biofuels contributed by experts from numerous countries and covers several aspects of algal products, one being "oilgae from algae," mainly oils and fuels for engines. Among the prominent algal groups that participate in this process are the diatoms and green algae (Chlorophyceae). Their metabolism and breeding play an important role in biomass and extraction of crude oil and algal fuel. There is a strong relation between solar energy influencing algal culture and the photobiology of lipid metabolism. Currently, many international meetings and conferences on biofuel are taking place in many countries, and several new books and proceedings of conferences have appeared on this topic. All this indicates that this field is "hot" and in the forefront of applied bioscience.
