D. Stephen Long, Nancy Ruth Fox, ...

Baylor University Press, 2007

Calculated Futures examines the ethical and theological underpinnings of the free-market economy, investigating not only the morality of corporations and exchange rates, but also how the politics of economics shape people as moral agents.

Stephen Fox

Vintage, 2008

riveting, fascinating, would be a great film.....
first off...it bugs me to no end that official and customer reviews refer to both Semmes and the CSS Alabama as "privateers." The Alabama was a ship built and comissioned in England by the Confederate States of America, and Semmes, her captain, was a Confederate Naval Officer. What she did, and did quite well, was commercial raiding, which was to destroy the enemy's commerce whenever possible. ...

Most people are aware that Japanese Americans (citizens and aliens alike) were forced to relocate to camps as far away as Montana, and to sell their houses and businesses after Pearl Harbor, because of a fear that they would assist in further ...
