I believe that part of what made New Hampshire more recession resistant is having the right foreign companies providing employment. To do this, I will be looking at FDI as a percentage of GDP over the previous 40 years and looking for a correlation between a higher percentage …

Each believed that a society which is forced to accommodate an oppressive system will inherently display alienation. That …
