The power of the state to issue currency and control the monetary system is so entrenched, and the presumption among economists that money must be supplied monopolistically by a central authority is so widespread, that the notion that money could be supplied competitively has rarely been taken seriously. This book boldly challenges the conventional view that the state must play a dominant role in the monetary system. Part I explores the histor...

There are special times of movement in the history of ideas, and one such time - as the author of this study shows - was the second half of the second century, when Christian thought showed fresh vigour. By concentrating on five seminal Christian thinkers of the second century (Justin, Athenegoras, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, and Tertullian), Eric Osborn illustrates how it was that Christianity made monotheism axiomatic to its central doc...

Church-state relations have undergone a number of changes during the seven decades of the existence of the Soviet Union.

There was some relaxation in the last decade of Stalin’, s rule, but under Khrushchev the pressure on the Church was again stepped up. In the Brezh...

It also attacks the notion that cooperation is always harmful. An efficient economic equilibrium requires an optimal combination of both cooperation and rivalry. Telser first examines the genesis of certain late nineteenth-century laws that affected competition in the United States. Going on to g...

The integration of the location of activities in space and the use of transport has been a theoretical planning issue for many years.

The purpose of this book is to present the issue in the light of a single and consistent theoretical framework, that of random utility theory and discrete choic...

This book brings the events and themes of Easter into the rest of the year. In the Christian tradition, we make much of the Christ-child and Christ crucified but are much more reticent about Christ risen, in spite of the fact that it's the risen life we're supposed to be sharing most of the time. We go through Lent and Holy Week with great seriousness but Easter gets one great day and then we're not sure what to do with it. This book is full o...

Sind die römischen Werte, denen sich vor allem die Latinistik in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts zugewandt hat, als Gegenstand der Altertumswissenschaft heute überholt, oder können sie im Horizont neuer Forschungsansätze und interdisziplinärer Diskurse weiterhin Interesse beanspruchen? Der Band, hervorgegangen aus einer Tagung am Sonderforschungsbereich "Institutionalität und Geschichtlichkeit" der TU Dresden, setzt sich mit dieser Frag...
