- Leveraging The Power Of Markets With Microfranchising
By: Curtis Seare | - There has been growing interest lately in the use of market-based solutions to help alleviate poverty across the globe, especially as a result of the successes of the Acumen Fund. Although these kinds of solutions are no panacea, they have opened many opportunities for poverty relief and economic self reliance development that previous approaches (such as regulatory or simple charity) have not been able to accomplish. Market-based approaches have the ability to provide opportunities, change mi ...

This spectrum helps us answer the above question about microfranchising, and it is from this spectrum that the ideas presented below originate. Credit, therefore, must be given to Mr. Gibson.

- Learning From China India Has The Advantage Of Being Young
By: Hardeep Kainth | -
OUR strategists, retired diplomats, ex-service officers and media persons have been engaged in an intense debate on how to deal with a rising China which appears to be playing the game of nations to our disadvantage.

- Advice To Help Christians Get Out Of Debt And Stay Out Of Debt
By: Art Gib | - In these tough economic times, everyone has felt the effects of the recession to one degree or another, including those in the Christian community. The fact is, money is a necessary evil that is essential to our well-being on this earth. However, its improper management is inconsistent with Christian teachings, which is a fact that many good people either forget or neglect.
The concept of "stewardship" is an important part of the Gospel: Christians are taught and expected by the ...

- What Makes People Think That More Money Will Result In Greater Happiness
By: nitu | -
Can money bring happiness This question must have been deliberated since the beginning of exchange of goods.
This question is too broad for a short article. We shall therefore focus on the narrower question of whether people are happier when they have more money.
A very common belief in many societies is that money does lead to contentment and happiness. Indeed it was published by D Myers in American Psychologist in 2000 that when people were asked ...

- Politicians, Gods & Messiahs
By: charu102 | - I heard a conversation take place the other day where one person was explaining to another how he felt about Barack Obama. He told this woman that to him, and to people in his generation, Barack Obama represented the same hope that Jack Kennedy had represented to that generation. This statement sent shivers down my spine. Here was a man in his late fifties not only comparing Barack Obama to John F. Kennedy, (no offense, but Mr. Obama is no John F. Kennedy) but he's hanging his hopes and dreams o ...

- The Unconscionable Muzzling Of Paul Volcker
By: J. Litle | - If theres anyone worth listening to in Washington these days, its Paul Volcker. So why is the great man nowhere to be found?
When it comes to the ups and downs of the economy, there is only one man who can claim to have seen it all Paul Volcker. At six-foot-seven, Volcker towers over all other policy makers in both the literal and figurative sense.
In a role that would later deem him the man who broke the back of inflation, Volcker took the ...

- A New Wpa For Rejuvenating American Manufacturing
By: Gordon Basichis | - The news is depressing. It is not so much the news that is depressing but the various cable shows and the assorted politicians and pundits who populate these shows, filling the air with platitudes of every shape and variety. As the economy had declined and times have gotten tougher, there is a lot more hemming and hawing among the so-called experts. It appears increasingly, to quote the noted screening writer, William Goldman, that nobody knows nothing.
Sure, they get ...

- Can Cameron Kill Three Birds With One Stone In A Switch To Renewable Technologies
By: Dominic Donaldson | - A Hot topic in the UK news at present is the Conservative blueprint for the switch to renewable technologies. The proposal that has been put forward suggests that by implementing a policy that encourages a green economy, not only could Britain become the 'greenest country' in the EU, but it would be immune from energy crises that have been affecting parts of Europe of late.
The energy tussle between Russia and the Ukraine over gas supplies has affected countries all across Europe ...

- Transition Of Ones Office To A Home
By: Brian Nicholas | - Internet has brought about an undreamt revolution in the information technology. Anyone can get in touch with anybody, living in any corner of the world, in a few seconds.

- Churchill, His Conservatism And Freedom
By: C. Read | - Churchill was the 20th centurys most influential person, because he personified, defended, and extended the franchise of the orthodox Anglo-Saxon inspired [big L] Liberal-Parliamentary order. Yet his lessons, attitudes and beliefs are already forgotten. In this sense he was indeed the last of the Conservatives.
The Liberal-Parliamentary order is not the end of history but merely the most successful method of organising society yet developed. But we n ...

- 7 Ways To Delay Gratification In A Troubled Economy
By: Phyllis Goldberg | - In years of plenty, American society operated largely on the pleasure principal - embracing the notion that 'I want what I want when I want it.' Accustomed to instant gratification and a sense of entitlement, people were emotionally conditioned to have it all. The average American carries nine credit cards with a total $17,000 balance. We have been living large for so long, that debt has become an integral part of our culture.
With individuals, families, our government and other ...

- The Marketing As A Prison
By: Robert II Smith | - Modern liberalism and its offspring, the welfare state, have dominated American politics since the 1930s. Both have received a great deal of criticism, from both the left and right. For many conservatives, the welfare state violates the rights of property, derives people of their liberty, is inefficient, unfairly favors certain organized interests, and creates a dangerous dependency on the state. Critics from the left have argued that the welfare state is dependent on the success of capitalist f ...

- Looking At Concrete In A New Light As A Sustainable Building Material
By: Steve Crompton | - Concrete has traditionally endured a poor reputation as a fundamental building material due to perceptions concerning its reliance on virgin raw materials and the energy consumption and emissions associated with its production process. Based on recent developments, CEMEX UKs Technical Director, Steve Crompton, argues that concrete should, instead, be viewed as a sustainable, strong, long-lasting, versatile and economically important construction material that has a vital part to play in the U ...

By: Karen Talavera | - December 1, 2007 marks the end of another hurricane season in south Florida, and for the second year in a row we are blessed with a clean getaway. For now, we can exhale.

- Is Our Educational System Producing Responsible Citizens?
By: George L. Rogers | - There is a tendency by some to think in terms of the product schools are supposed to produce. This product is defined as people who possess the knowledge and skills necessary to take their place in the economic and social order of things. In this way of thinking, schools are some sort of manufacturing organization that produces a product. The quality of the product is defined by "its" (the student's) ability to perform certain pre-assigned tasks at specific levels of competency.

- Closing The Workplace Generation Gap
By: Sam Galea | - With the obvious exception of the very young and elderly, the fact that there is a generational mix in the Australian workplace simply reflects our general population demographics.
In the factories, workshops and offices of the past the different cohorts were more stratified with older people in senior management positions and younger ones in menial roles. However compared to a generation ago when both society and work was based on this hierarchal structure today's workplace is on ...

- Neptune Sextile Pluto
By: Bob Makransky | - The planets Neptune and Pluto entered orb of a sextile (* = 60 degrees apart) aspect in the mid-1940's; and they will remain there until the 2030's. Normally aspects between Neptune and Pluto are within orb for only a dozen or so years at a time. However, Pluto is presently at a fast place in its orbit so that it is moving at about the same speed as Neptune, at the same time that the two planets are roughly 60 degrees apart, so they are both in the sextile pattern for about a century. Thus, th ...
