- 132: The End Of Affluence
- ... markets for the U.S. In relations to the economy, World War II presented itself as a savior, in the way that government placed great demands on the market, and thus in turn raised productivity rates to a record high. These production rates did not cease with the end of the war, but instead kept on climbing, due to the destruction of Europe and Japan, leaving the global market open for U.S. business. These happy times only lasted until the early 1970 s when the introduction of the Oil Embargo took effect, and the crippling of Americas productivity and economic rates began. The enactment of the embargo was not the only reason the U.S. began to lose its productivity rate. The shipping of jobs to overseas companies and the entering of the Japanese into ...

- ... away with to make room for Industrialization and Adam Smith’s market model of capitalism. Capitalism was a promoter of the entrepreneur and individual success. It was only natural that during this time of private interest the gap between rich and poor would be greatly widened and a state of disorder might arise. Capitalism was a new ideology and drastic labor problems and social disorder arose because Americans were simply adjusting ... focused not on the gains that it brought but instead on the condition of the poor. The market model was indeed a gain of the time period and was met by the pursue of individual interest. “These questions lead Smith to a formulation of the laws of the market. What he sought was ‘the invisible hand,’ as he called it, whereby ‘the private interests and passions of men’ are led in the direction ‘which is most agreeable to the interest of the whole society”(Borg74). Smith’s model promoted a much more aggressive economy and individuals sought their own success. The entrepreneur became the icon of society. The new system allowed individuals to exploit ...
- 135: Introduction to Public Choice Theory
- ... than McDonalds does. Strangely, however, many people think so -- including university professors that teach politics and philosophy. The most important contribution of Public Choice Theory is that it recognizes that politicians are motivated by self interest -- just like you and me. In fact, more so than you and me! If that is so, and it is, then our expectations of politicians changes dramatically. One point worth noting here is that the Founding Fathers of the U.S.A. understood that and they tried to organize government in such a way as to minimize the impact of self interest. They did a good job and the fact that we are having so much trouble with our government today results from our losing site of the reality that politicians are self-interested. To summarize this ... recognizes are essentially private, is both a branch of microeconomics and an ideologically-laden view of democratic politics. Analysts of the school apply the logic of microeconomics to politics and generally find that whereas self-interest leads to benign results in the marketplace, it produces nothing but pathology in political decisions. These pathological patterns represent different kinds of"free-riding" and "rent-seeking" by voters, bureaucrats, politicians, and recipients of ...

- 137: How To Enjoy Reading A Novel
- ... Novel As soon as a novel must be read or becomes part of a literary course, the joy of reading it is immediately lost due to the fact that the particular novel may not be interest to the student, the student may hurry to finish the novel and by the extent to which the novel is studied. The joy of reading a novel is lost when a novel is not of interest to the reader because the reader would not be able to relate to any of the characters, and would therefore not be able to fully imagine what the author intended to be imagined at a particular moment in the novel. Not being able to imagine in a novel does not allow the novel to be read properly which further causes the reader to lose interest in the novel. Also, if the novel is not of interest to the student, he may not even bother to read the book, however, since it is forced upon him, it would be read ...
- 138: The Reagan Tax Cuts and Foreign Policy
- ... tax cuts were implemented by Secretary of Treasury Andrew Mellon during the Administrations of Hoover, Harding, and Coolidge. In the 60's Kennedy introduced tax cuts. In both instances the decrease of high marginal tax rates somehow increased tax payments by the rich. Perhaps a foreshadow of things to come. Debates were raging over the Reagan tax cuts, known as the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 (or, ERTA). This act was designed to spur savings, investment, work, and economic efficiency. This policy would impose a 25% across-the-board cut in personal marginal tax rates. In the act of decreasing marginal tax rates, and stimulating economic incentives, ERTA would increase the flow of resources into production, thus lifting economic growth. This policy received much criticism because its opponents argued that ERTA would be a giveaway to the ...

A vaccine expressing the glycoprotein in vaccinia is being prepared for laboratory evaluation. SELECTIVE PRESSURES AND CONSTRAINTS It is of interest to determine, what, if any, limits are placed on virus variation. Despite high mutation rates and opportunities for genetic reassortment, many factors act to minimize emergence of new influenza A epidemics (Morse and Schluederberg 1988). even though avian and human influenza viruses are widespread (in humans an estimated 100 million ... expect that new viruses will emerge occasionally, but the stochastic and multifactorial nature of viral evolution makes it difficult to predict such events. According to Doolittle, retrovirus evolution is sporadic, with retroviruses evolving at different rates in different situations. For instance, the human endogenous retroviral element is shared with chimpanzees, indicating no change in over 8 million years, whereas strains of HIV have diverged in mere decades. Endogenous retroviruses carried ...
