Almost four centuries later the words of Thomas Mun and mercantilists such as Sir William Petty still resonate in the mind of economists. Even though traces of mercantilism are difficult to find in

The Power of the Profile When it comes to personal information in America, the genie is out of the bottle. As such, information security will continue to be a pressing concern especially to most of our top three-letter-agencies such as the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), NSA (National Security Agency), DOD (Department of Defense), and HS (Homeland Security) as most of them are staffed with employees with top secret security clearances (also known as TS).When someone is given this clearance

The rapid development and national power in the developed countries after the revolution is due to the speedy recovery and upgrading of industries and especially technologies. Therefore, less developed countries have to focus their attention on how to develop or adopt the industries and technologies from developed countries.
