pressures have increased the risk of economic espionage. The collapse of the
Soviet Union has left unemployed KGB and other former communist bloc
intelligence agents selling everything from Russian night vision devices to
completely assembled and functional bugging devices. Even friendly western
European governments have been caught spying on private corporations based in
the U.S. and other countries, while industrial competitors sometimes hire

... outcome from a corporate perspective and then examine the
corporate responsibility as a whole in order to find a resolution for cases such
as this.
The first mitigating factor involved in the Company X case is the
uncertainty, on the part of the employees, on their duties that they were
assigned. It is possible that during the testing procedure, an employee

standards and commercial standards. In some cases they might have even been
misinformed on the final product that they tested. In fact, ignorance on the

If the Fed believes there is not enough money in circulation, then they will buy the securities from member banks.

... ethic. It meant that if 1) you were free yourself; 2) your country was "free"; and, 3) there was no slave labor to take your livelihood, you could "make something of yourself," and become a capitalist or, at least, an independent producer, professional or artist. Americans in the North at that time were influenced by this capitalist "work-ethic" to under-estimate the energy of the South. They thought (as the capitalist "work-ethic" would lead them to believe) that the poverty and economic decline of the South were probably due to laziness and that this indicated that the North should be able to easil ...

... been
proven that is no correlation between women's choice to have children and
welfare benefit levels. Furthermore, for each additional child, a mother can
expect an additional $90 of AFDC benefits, far too low to serve as any type of
incentive. In addition, those states that provide higher benefits do not
necessarily show higher birth rates among their welfare recipients. Families
receiving AFDC benefits have 1.9 children, just about the same as the national
average. (ACLU 1)
Another myth created by the media concerns the amount of money spent and
the results. It has been said that after spen ...

... becomes part of my
earnings. For various reasons, however, this circular flow can falter. People
start hoarding money when times become tough; but times become tougher when
everyone starts hoarding money. This breakdown results in a recession.
To get the circular flow of money started again, Keynes suggested that
the central bank, the Federal Reserve System, should expand the money supply.
This would put more money in people's hands (through the multiplier effect),
inspire consumer confidence, and compel them to start spending again.
A depression, Keynes believed, is an especially severe r ...
