Product Description
For more than a decade scholars have debated the question of whether American Indian confederacies, primarily the Iroquois, helped influence the formation of U.S. basic law. The idea has sparked lively debate in the public arena as well, with Canadian diplomat Durling Voyce-Jones contending it shows a paradigm shift in our thinking, Patrick Buchanan calling it "idiocy," and George Will saying it's "fiction." For the first time, this bibliography brings together some 450 citations on the debate. The work describes the debate in the words of one of its major participants, Bruce E. Johansen, author of three other books on the subject. ... Read more

Excerpt: The Capital Markets Index (CPMKTS) is an investment tool that tracks the value of traditional investment-grade U.S. capital market securities. CPMKTS is a real-time, market-weighted index. It includes approximately 9,500 equity, fixed income and money market instruments. CPMKTS index was launched by Dorchester Capital Management Company of Houston, Texas on May 4, 2006. The Capital Markets Index is carried on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol CPMKTS with updates every 15 seconds. CPMKTS measures the capital markets on a consolidated basis. Rather than further subdivide the market as other indexes do, CPMKTS views the capital markets on a broader basis and therefore includes stocks, bonds and money market instruments. It satisfies the needs of both professional and lay investors for a measurement tool for mixed or blended portfolios and provides the basis for a wide variety of investment instruments. Other indexes within the CPMKTS family measure sub-segments of the market. The Amex also publishes sub-indexes CPMKTE, CPMKTB and CPMKTL, tracking equities, bonds and liquidity, respectively. The CPMKTS and its family of indexes were created to meet the market's need for: Highlights of the CPMKTS index include: Dorchester has collected over 30 years of historical dataincluding government statistics and market changeswhich now are stored in the comp...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5289369 ...

sintesis informativa de las diferentes formas de gobierno
Una síntesis las formas de gobierno existentes en Europa y Norteamérica desde la época feudal hasta bien entrado el siglo xx. Un libro que merece ser estudiado por todos aquellos interesados en la historia política mundial, estudiantes de relaciones exteriores y todos aquellos con algún interés de comprender como funciona nuestra forma de gobierno. Después de que las cosas que generan grandes cambios pasan, podemos, después de un tiempo, ver que no son hechos aislados sino una cadena de hechos que generan una sucesión de cambios pequeños que usualmente desencadenan los grandes acontecimientos. Los libros de historia de la educación media se quedan en una explicación de los hechos históricos de una manera acartonada. Pasa esto y después pasa aquello, sin llegar al fondo. Es bueno que al alumno se le inste a investigar sobre las cosas que generan los grandes cambios y no solo presentarle de manera insulsa una serie de situaciones para que sean memorizadas.
El libro comienza con la economía y el gobierno en la era medieval. La sociedad feudal consistía en ese entonces en feudos que eran administrados por señores feudales. Esta economía era autosuficiente ya que no se pensaba en producir riquezas ni en exportación de productos. El cambio que dio al traste con esta sociedad fue lento y tuvo resistencia de varias partes, incluyendo la iglesia católica, que el transcurso vio la merma en su poder y privilegios.
La sociedad mercantilista, los pensadores cuyas ideas fueron usadas y mal interpretadas, la transición lenta y tortuosa hacia la democracia, las revoluciones que dieron al traste con la burguesía están detalladas en este libro de una manera muy interesante y sin la jerga correspondiente, de manera que es fácil de leer por cualquiera que no tenga experiencia en estos avatares de la política
