It's funny what sticks in your memory. The odd moment, the inconsequential incident, somehow become equal to the moments of high drama. We all know this quirk of the mind.

This article investigates state-level export programs in response to the emerging new economic and political regime of Europe 1992.

Economic and Financial Review

Sound financial system is considered central to the development of trade either in an economy or internationally. This fact informed the author of this Occasional paper in examining and bringing into focus how Japan became an international creditor i.e. net capital exporter in the world financial system aside from her leading role in world trade. This position was attained through a combination of many factors, some of which were sectoral savings-investment imbalances and the co-existence of high-employment government deficit and the high-employment current account surplus in the 1970s and 1980s. The author thus, traced the historical evolution of Japan• s …

Patronage Bibliography (1993), Roger A. Lohmann

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

Patronage is one of the basic concepts in the commons theory of voluntary action; it refers to the giving or donating of resources – money, objects for collection, or repertories of knowledge, skills or ‘know-how’. Patrons – those who give – are one of the three fundamental roles in philanthropods, along with intermediaries or agents, and beneficiaries. Patronage is also a heavily studied subject, extensively written about in the humanities as the items in this bibliography attest.

The Death Of Jim Valvano, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Normally the Catholic Church requires a certain passage of time, as well as evidence of the performance of three miracles, before anyone is presented for canonization to sainthood. Apparently ESPN's standards are not quite that high, as the network canonized Jim Valvano last week following his death. Although Valvano had at least one miracle to his credit, the winning of the 1983 NCAA basketball championship with the miracle shot against Houston as time ran out, it still seems unlikely that he is the stuff out of which saints are made.
