.... Starvation became a reality for millions of people, despite a bumper cereal harvest, as shops reverted to the barter system. Farmers refused to accept the effectively worthless, banknotes in exchange for grain, and food quickly began to run short in the cities. Prices rose one trillion-fold from their pre-war level. More importantly, for the long-term political future of Germany, the middle and working classes saw their savings wiped out. These were, in essence, the people who were later to become the hard-core of the Nazi vote. Economists will argue that runaway hyperi .....

.... part of the system to match, as the Dixons systems came with some added bonuses such as extra multimedia software and Internet capability. I therefore reduced the price of the Dixons machine to account for these differences, by deducting the price that it would cost to upgrade on the Tandy machine. So, to give the Tandy computer Internet capability would cost £150, so that was deducted, and the multimedia software would have cost £50, so that was deducted. The computer specification I aimed to have as a common platform was an Intel Pentium 120MHz machine, with 8MB RAM .....

.... market pressures that develop for different commodities. The pressures work in one direction for a while, but at the same time pressures are budding that work in the opposite direction. As people look forward and see there's going to be some profit made from their production, they'll make decisions to increase volume, usually hiring more people, buying more materials, often bidding up their prices. When people are competing in the same market, that tends to generate more and more pressure in the direction of expansion. But at the same time, as costs and possibly interest ra .....

.... But over time the divisor has been changed to preserve historical continuity. If the Dow were an average,as it once was,it would be determined with simple math skills:by adding up the prices of its companies shares,dividing that by thirty. But the stock market can sometimes be to hectic for basic math. The most frequent reason for this is a stock split. Suppose a company in the DJIA issues one new share for each share outstanding. After this two- for-one "split," each share of stock is worth half what it was immediately before, other things being equal. But without an adjustm .....

.... as being young can make someone retire early. Retiring early just for being young also has their advantages. This way, the retiree can explore more areas and get to stay longer because they have more years to enjoy than an ordinary retiree. Also, when someone gets older their health slowly diminish and their ambition to go out and travel also vanishes. Finally, having good health while retired pays off. One would tend to enjoy retirement more if their health were in decent shape. Irritating injuries and irksome illnesses certainly keep the retiree limited wh .....

.... paper is to view Marx's concept of alienation (estranged labor) and how it limits freedom. For Marx man's freedom is relinquished or in fact wrested from his true nature once he becomes a laborer. This process is thoroughly explained throughout Estranged Labor. This study will reveal this process and argue it's validity. Appendant to this study on alienation there will be a micro-study which will attempt to ascertain Marx's view of freedom (i.e. positive or negative). The study on alienation in conjunction with the micro-study on Marx's view of freedom will help not only re .....

.... a number grade saying that they received a certain percentage of credit for an assignment. If a student receives a grade of a 95 then they have fulfilled 95% of the total possible credit. A grade of 95 in most cases is equal to the letter grade of an A. When a student receives a number grade of 70 then they have gotten credit for 70% of the work. This 70% works out to a C, which is customarily known as satisfactory. This satisfactory grade of a 70 means that on a test the student has basically absorbed only 70% of what should have been. This 70% means that a full 30% of .....
