As in any ether firm the retailer has decisions to take about output and prices. Most of the time he is a price-maker and an output-taker. The price to be established and the output to be produced, depend upon profit considerations. It is assumed, that firms are in business for maximum profits, and as long as profits are compatible with survival and growth; they can safely be relied upon as the beat index available to determine the performance of the firm. The “profit plan” of the firm for each economic period shall now be established. The retailer, as any other entrepreneur, has to find the most profitable output.

The Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) was formed in 1919 through a fusion of various socialist parties and non-organized radical elements in the territory of the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later known as the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. This unification took place under the impact of the Bolshevik Revolution. It was achieved through peremptory acceptance of a platform which advocated “repudiation of the traitorous policies of the Second International, refusal to participate in the Coalition Government and abstention from the work of the Interim National Assembly”.

This is a theoretical and empirical study. Its purpose is to discuss the problems of capital accumulation and allocation in a specific set-up of that type of a socialist economy which the communists have created in the countries in which they rule. Although China and other Asiatic communist countries are not discussed, it seems that the majority of characteristic features of the system exist in those countries as well. The term "communist system" is accepted here to cover not the theoretical ideal, but the system actually existing in real life, at the present time.

It has become a truism of international politics to say that the power configuration in the atomic age is vastly different from that which existed during the 18th and 19th centuries--the classical era of European interstate relations. But in what way does it differ and how do these differences affect the position of the would-be neutralist in the mid-20th century? In the belief that hypotheses about both these questions are essential to an understanding of neutrality and its progeny, neutralism, this chapter offers some propositions about the structure of international politics in the pre-atomic and atomic eras.

La période de l'entre deux guerres est frappée du sceau de la révolution. Tout comme le XIXe siècle confirmait l'établissement du libéralisme, la révolution industrielle, les prétentions démocratiques et le nationalisme intransigeant; la période Versailles-Munich marque l'éclatement des cadres posés au siècle dernier.

These words speak of the majesty of the steam engine - but one might also be inclined to think of them as a brief eulogy for the beloved "iron horse." With but a few minor exceptions, the use of diesel locomotion is now predominant on North American railways. One of railroading's most cherished traditions is now but a memory.

The family of Ismail Sidky participated in the public affairs of Egypt throughout the mid 19th century. His father was Ahmad Shukri Pasha, and his mother was Fatima Hanum, daughter of Muhammad Sayyid Ahmad Pasha, chief of cabinet to Said Pasha, son of Mehemet Ali Pasha founder of modern Egypt. Sidky's father on the other hand was Governor of Cairo, and after the Mahdi rebellion in the Sudan became the Director of the administration of the main territories of the Sudan and its dependencies. When he retired from this position he became Under-Secretary of the Interior.

Jamaica, the largest of the British West Indian islands, comprises an area of about 4,400 square miles and has a population of approximately one and one-half million people. Throughout the island’s history, the economy has been predominantly agricultural; consequsnt1y, foreign trade has been and continues to be a very important aspect of the economy. In the 1920's, the value of Jamaica's foreign trade was almost forty per cent of national income, in the late 1930's, the proportion had increased to almost sixty per cent and after World War II, in the 1ate 1940's, it was reduced to approximately forty per cent once more.

During the 35 years from 1926 to the end of 1959, residential construction comprised from 3.23 to 6.71 per cent of gross national income, from 24.9 to 35.8 per cent of total construction activity, and from 14.7 to 21.1 per cent of total public and private investment in Canada. Despite the size of the residential construction sector, Canadian economists have not given it the attention it deserves. [...]

For many years it has been implied by business men in the Press and in trade journals that price competition is "ruinous", "unethical", “cutthroat". The term loss leader is used often as a designation of disapproval rather than as a description of a readily recognizable phenomenon. To control and to develop a defense against this "unfair" competition, through trade associations and the policy of price maintenance has been a major objective of business policy. C. Wright Mills emphasized this point in the following quotation…
