THE EUROPEAN ARMAMENTS MARKET AND PROCUREMENT COOPERATION

The principal purpose of this book is to analyse where the West Europeans have succeeded or failed in their attempts at cooperation in defence procurement, and why. This chapter aims to give some political background to this analysis by looking, very selectively, at a few of the pressures which exist for West European collaboration in defence and security policy in general. Logically, the …

RESEARCH IN GOVERNMENTAL AND NONPROFIT ACCOUNTING VOLUME 11

We present a review of the governmental capital markets research that has been conducted since Ingram et al. (1987).

However, much of the secondary market research fails to examine the specific relationshi…

Classical Econophysics

This monograph examines the domain of classical political economy using the method- ologies developed in recent years both by the new discipline of econo-physics and by computing science. This approach is used to re-examine the classical subdivisions of political economy: production, exchange, distribution and finance. The book begins by examining the most basic feature of economic life – pr…

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Woody Allen, comedian, screenwriter, and director, once said: “Eighty percent of success is showing up.” If this was ever true, it certainly isn’t anymore. Success today requires a good bit more than good attendance. Yet, multiple studies in different countries and across industries show that employees who are passionate about their jobs and the organizations in which they work are in th…

Poetry and The American Presidency

John Adams, the second President of the United States, always traveled with a book of English poetry and took comfort and pleasure in reading from it during his many long journeys. When his son John Quincy was a young boy Adams told him, “You will never be alone with a poet in your pocket.” John Quincy Adams became the sixth President of the United States and the author of over 350 poems. …

Developing a Security Plan

Data is the most important resource that any business owns. It’s literally possible to replace any part of a business except the data. When the data is modified, corrupted, stolen, or deleted, a business can suffer serious loss. In fact, a business that has enough go wrong with its data can simply cease to exist. The focus of security, therefore, is not hackers, applications, networks, or any…

Q-Squared

I am deeply grateful to Ravi Kanbur, who initiated the Q-Squared initiative, and invited me to join on. The momentum in favour of mixed method analysis of poverty over the past decade has been highly influenced by Ravi’s efforts. In the absence of such, this book would not exist. I am also extremely appreciative of the support provided by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC),…

A Foreign Policy of Freedom

My involvement in politics came about due to an earlier interest in economics, which began in the 1960s after reading Friedrich Hayek's classic, The Road to Serfdom. This led me to study Austrian economics, especially the writings ofLudwig von Mises, which provided the best explanation ofhow central banking and government intervention in the market economy cause so much suffering. TheAustr…

Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It?

The purpose of this book is to help you program shared-memory parallel machines without risking your sanity.1 We hope that this book’s design principles will help you avoid at least some parallel-programming pitfalls. That said, you should think of this book as a foundation on which to build, rather than as a completed cathedral. Your mission, if you choose to accept, is to help make further …

Pro Android Python with SL4A

This book is about writing real-world applications for the Android platform primarily using the Python language and a little bit of JavaScript. While there is nothing wrong with Java, it really is overkill when all you need to do is turn on or off a handful of settings on your Android device. The Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A) project was started to meet that specific need. This book will i…

TCL/TK IN A NUTSHELL

Information and Economics: A Critique of Hayek

In a series of recent writings we have sought to re-open a debate over the economics of socialism. We have argued that the collapse of the Soviet system does not necessitate the conclusion that all forms of socialist economy are doomed to inefficiency. Updating and extending a line of reasoning found in Lange (1967) and Johansen (1977),1 we have claimed that modern information technology permit…

In this part of the book, you discover how to create a security plan that you can use when writing applications. Having a good security plan ensures that your application actually meets specific goals and that others can discuss how to implement security with the development team. Without a good security plan in place, hackers often find easy access to the application and cause all kinds of pro…
