Publiziert am 23. April 2021 von Jazzybee

Economics, Volume 2: Modern Economic Problems – Frank A. Fetter

Professor Fetter’s ‘Economic Principles’ is the second half of a two-volume treatise on economics. The first half ‘Economic Principles’ deals with the basics. The author of this volume is one of the great American economists. His contributions to economic literature have been notable, and while it would, of course, be too much to say that they have won universal acceptance, it can safely be affirmed that they have quite generally been accorded respectful and sympathetic attention. Professor Fetter occupies a place of distinction, not only as a thinker and writer in the field of economics, but also as a university teacher. Several years ago he served also as President of … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Economics, Volume 1: Economic Principles

Publiziert am 23. April 2021 von Jazzybee

Economics, Volume 1: Economic Principles – Frank A. Fetter

Professor Fetter’s ‘Economic Principles’ is the first half of a two-volume treatise on economics. The second half ‘Modem Economic Problems’ deals with the applications of principles. In general Professor Fetter’s theory may be described as mechanistic and Austrian. To call it mechanistic signifies that, like the usual type of economic theory, it treats the industrial and business system as being somewhat analogous to a mechanism, in that the operations of this system are explained in terms of practically contemporaneous causes and effects without reference to the changes in its structure which take place with the passage of time. Here ” mechanistic ” is substituted for the less appropriate “deductive” as a … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Claim of the American Loyalists

Publiziert am 7. April 2019 von Jazzybee

The Claim of the American Loyalists – Joseph Galloway

When, at the beginning of the last quarter of the eighteenth century, it became increasingly evident that the thirteen American Colonies would revolt from Great Britain and attempt to establish their independence, and when it became necessary for all men to take sides on the great question, a large number of Americans of wealth and abilities remained loyal to their King. The motives which actuated these men were, of course, various; some were honorable, others selfish. But to the ardent patriot, blinded by zeal for liberty, nothing could justify, or even palliate, such conduct. As a consequence, the Tories of the American Revolution suffered not less-in reputation than in estate, and … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Institutes of Roman Law

Publiziert am 9. März 2019 von Jazzybee

Institutes of Roman Law – Gaius, Edward Poste (tr.), E.A. Whittuck(ed.), A.H.J. Greenidge (Intr.)

The Institutes are a complete exposition of the elements of Roman law and are divided into four books—the first treating of persons and the differences of the status they may occupy in the eye of the law; the second-of things, and the modes in which rights over them may be acquired, including the law relating to wills; the third of intestate succession and of obligations; the fourth of actions and their forms. For many centuries they had been the familiar textbook of all students of Roman law.

The Works of Benjamin Franklin: Volume 12, Letters & Writings 1788 – 1790

Publiziert am 8. März 2019 von Jazzybee

The Works of Benjamin Franklin: Volume 12, Letters & Writings 1788 – 1790 – Benjamin Franklin, John Bigelow

It is easy to be persuaded that Mr. John Bigelow’s edition of ‘The Works of Benjamin Franklin’ is likely to be the most complete, the most scholarly and acccurate, the ‘Federal’ edition. Mr. Bigelow was confessedly the foremost authority on Franklin. Beside the material now in print, carefully collated for the present purpose, so far as possible, with the original manuscripts, he has had free use of the supplementary Franklin MSS. purchased by the State Department in 1881, and not published before his work, and the autobiography has been printed for the first time in any collected edition of Franklin’s Works, from … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
