Some four decades before the American Revolution, there existed in London a number of coffee houses in which the gentry and merchant classes gathered to sip chocolate and coffee, to talk, and to play Whist, the increasingly popular card game destined to be the forerunner of Auction and Contract Bridge and other trump games of the partnership family. One of the habitues of the Crown Coffee House on Bedford Row was Edmond Hoyle, a middle-aged lawyer. Hoyle became so proficient at Whist that he decided to teach it and forego the practice of law.

In Defense Of The Old Way Of Teaching Elementary Accounting, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch Oct 1993

In Defense Of The Old Way Of Teaching Elementary Accounting, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch

Accounting Historians Notebook

After a significant number of years away from teaching elementary accounting, I returned to this interesting phenomena. The devastating rebuke to the old way of teaching the basic courses by the Accounting Education Change Commission led me to rethink the old ways. This rebuke arrived with the 150 credit hour issue, a significant drop in the quantity of business majors, and a very noticeable decay in students' ability to focus arising from the noise generated by MTV, VCRs, and Walkmen. After this rethinking, I not only have returned to my old ways of teaching by the building block approach, but …

The Entrepreneurial State Goes To Europe: State Economic Policies And Europe 1992, John J. Carroll, William E. Hudson, Mark S. Hyde

New England Journal of Public Policy

This article investigates state-level export programs in response to the emerging new economic and political regime of Europe 1992. Little related export promotion activity is found, even in states reputed to have the most active entrepreneurial policies. The authors conclude that states have few resources to invest in export promotion and are inappropriate jurisdictions around which to organize such policy, despite the much touted "entrepreneurial state."

Japan As A Capital Exporter And The World Economy (Occasional Papers No. 18. Group Of Thirty, New York) By Masaru Yoshitomi, Ademola Bamidele

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 …
