A Letter to the President / Fear for the Future
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing in the form of a letter the fear that because we have no clue as to why the current and long period of expansion has lasted so long or has taken the path that it has, we also have no means either of recreating it should it end or taking steps to ensure its continuation now.

A Liberal Marxist’s View of Internet Gambling
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses international Internet gambling in the context of thinking exercised by a liberal Marxist. The traditional Marxist viewpoint follows the original thinking of Karl Marx that all events in human society are determined by economic forces. Marx’s ultimate goal was to liberate the world from the evil of acquisitive materialism and lead the human race to a new freedom. He saw humans as unable to overcome greed. And certainly, greed plays an important role in gambling. Therefore, a liberal Marxist is likely to find him/herself in the unusual position of siding with ultra-conservatives and the religious right regarding international Internet gambling.

A Look at Different Types of Budgets
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Budgets are primarily based on history of expenditures and income as well as related items, and are also based on the future forecasts for such.
