1910 s abd 1920 s, not just from India, but from
Hong Kong and other areas in Asia as well. Some

... ation of its resources. In both cases the
economy improves and provides an added incentive
to work. This is because, in a vigorous growth
economy, the value of an extra worker is higher
than the combined costs of his hiring and firing.
This is especially true since the reservoir of the
unemployed is comprised of the unskilled, the
young and women, whose remuneration is closer to
the minimum wage. In the USA the minimum wage is
35 % of the average wage (in France, it is 60 %,

Covering The North American Free Trade Agreement Nafta

I. The Origins of NAFTA The underlying rationale
not only of NAFTA, but of all free trade
agreements is the belief that international trade
is a win-win proposition. This belief is based on
theories developed by theorists such as Adam Smith
and David Ricardo, who dismissed the mercantilist
view that a country could only gain at the expense
of its rival. In their view, mutual gains for all
parties involved would be created if two
conditions were met: 1. If each country
specialized in producing an...

Anyone in the least bit familiar with the British
press will recognise that Americanisation remains
a modern preoccupation, whether for good or ill.
Few stop to address the many and varied, indeed
multifarious and often incompatible ways, in which
the seemingly self-defining term is used. Is it
merely a term to describe a creeping modernisation
rooted in the American experience? Is it a way of
describing the overt exporting of American
agendas, whether geo-political or cultural? Or is
it the way...

Obedience to Authority in the Military I would
like to start by saying that during the US-led
operation in Iraq the British and Australian
troops were told to use their own judgment in the
decision making process of whether or not to shoot
in the civilians. They were told that they would
not be punished for disobeying the American
leaders. Here we see the example of how the
personal conscience is used against the obedience
to authority, yet generally the obedience to the
military authority is un...

American Foreign Policy First World War

American Security Throughout the history, the
issue of American national security was rather of
geographical than political nature. Since the
