The Making of an Economic Vision: John Paul II's on Social

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Houck John W / Williams, Oliver F., PUBLISHER: University Press of America, How do we realize economic justice in our global society? What is economic justice? Are materialism, consumerism, and capitalism a threat or a promise to a peaceful earth? There is one voice that continues to offer a prophetic challenge both to Marxist collectivism and capitalism. Pope John Paul II has authored On Social Concern that has much to say to our times. Is the religious social teaching in this document in such contrast to the prevailing wisdom of political economy that it might properly be called countercultural? Does this teaching offer a new vision, a different way of interpreting economic events? The Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Religious Values in Business convened a symposium to address these issues, assembling business executives, labor leaders and scholars.

Economic Assessment of Election Programmes: Does It Make

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Graafland, Johan J. / Ros, Arie P., PUBLISHER: Springer, In the Netherlands, the election programmes of the political parties are assessed for their economic impact by an independent economic bureau. The result of this analysis is published just before the elections take place. In this way, the voter will be protected against political parties that try to win the elections by making popular but unfounded financial promises. Economic Assessment of Election Programmes contains contributions of several distinguished economists and philosophers who consider the gains of this procedure to society. Does the analysis by the Netherlands' Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB) raise the democratic quality of the elections? Can we really be confident in the tools of economics? The last section of this volume states the opinion of representatives of the political parties. This part also clarifies why political parties voluntarily participate in this process and how they perceive the role division between the political party and CPB.

Dreams Interpreted: A Dictionary of Dreams

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Miller, Gustavus Hindman, PUBLISHER: Barnes & Noble, Gustavus Hindman Miller's groundbreaking masterwork, published nearly a century ago, remains the most compelling and thorough study of all the symbols that appear in our dreamscape. Updated, beautifully designed, and wonderfully easy to follow, it's an invaluable source of information, and key to understanding the unconscious impulses that guide us. Miller offers an enlightening introduction to dreams in history, dream types (spiritual, mixed, and allegorical), and to prescient dreams that provide a privileged glimpse into the future. The visual symbols themselves, accompanied by an array of splendid color drawings, photographs, and boxed sidebars, are divided into elegantly logical categories, from the animal kingdom to rocks and minerals, body and soul to birth and death, food and drink to clothes and jewelry. Everything is extensively cross-referenced, making it easy to look up the thousands of dream elements and solve the mysteries buried deep in the unconscious.

Prime Green: Remembering the Sixties

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stone, Robert, PUBLISHER: Ecco Press, A memoir of America's most turbulent, whimsical decade, in the words of the man who experienced it all... From the New York City of Kline and De Kooning to the jazz era of New Orleans's French Quarter to Ken Kesey's psychedelic California, "Prime Green" explores the s in all its weird, innocent, fascinating glory. An account framed by two wars, it begins with Robert Stone's last year in the Navy, when he took part in an Antarctic expedition navigating the globe, and ends in Vietnam, where he was a correspondent in the days following the invasion of Laos. Told in scintillating detail, "Prime Green" zips from coast to coast, from days spent in the raucous offices of Manhattan tabloids to the breathtaking beaches of Mexico, and merry times aboard the bus with Kesey and the Pranksters. Building on personal vignettes from Stone's travels across America, this powerful memoir offers the legendary novelist's inside perspective on a time many understand only peripherally. These accounts of the s are riveting not only because Stone is a master storyteller but because he was there, in the thick of it, through all the wild times. From these incredible experiences, "Prime Green" forges a moving and adventurous portrait of a unique moment in American history.

Medicine Challenged: How Greed and Abuse of Power Are Making

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sarmiento, MD Augusto / Sarmiento, Augusto, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, Medicine is experiencing crises of unprecedented proportion. This book addresses, in a critical though constructive manner, the increasing commercialization of medicine, the greed and loss of professionalism of many of its members, its excessive fragmentation into subspecialties, and the education of the physician, which is increasingly controlled by the pharmaceutical and surgical implant industry. All these factors have played a major role in the current healthcare crisis, manifested by the inexcusable millions of uninsured people, the unaffordable cost of health insurance, and the grossly inferior care the poor receive in this country. The author blames the medical profession for having contributed to the perpetuation of some of the problems, and calls its fellowship and its representative organizations to respond by correcting the flaws that are correctable, and to throw their support behind initiatives that will ensure restoration of the high moral standards that made medicine a most noble profession.

Right to Arm Bears

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickson, Gordon R., PUBLISHER: Baen Books, HUMANS OR HEMNOIDS: AN UNBEARABLE CHOICE Planet Dilbia is in a crucial location for both humans and their adversaries, the Hemnoids. Therefore making friends with the Dilbians and establishing a human presence there is of the utmost importance, which may be a problem, since the bearlike Dilbians stand some nine feet tall, and have a high regard for physical prowess. They're not impressed by human technology, either. A real man, er, bear doesn't need machines to do his work for him. But Dilbians "are" impressed by sharp thinking, and some have expressed a grudging admiration for the logical (and usually sneaky) mental maneuvers that the human "shorties" have used to get themselves out of desperate jams. Just maybe that old human craftiness will win over the Dilbians to the human side. If not, we lose a nexus, and the Dilbians will learn just how unbearable Hemnoids can be....
