Free Enterprise: The Greatest Story Never Told (Until Now), Don P. Diffine Ph.D.

Belden Center Books

The goal of this report, originally released under the title Students for Private Enterprise Education in 1976, has been to develop and use objective, responsible, and nonpartisan multi-media ways to put a little polish on each citizen's amateur status as his own personal economist, thereby counteracting much of the unearned anti-business bias so prevalent today.

Transportation And Public Service Costs For Rural Communities Of Various Sizes, Thomas L. Williams

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Lower real incomes in the agricultural sector compared with other sectors of the economy have led to continued migration of rural people to urban areas. Despite this movement of surplus people from farm areas, incomes in the rural sector have failed to keep pace with those in urban areas. Fewer social amenities and other conveniences have also contributed to rural-urban migration.

This reduction in rural population and the consequent reduction in the economic bases of many rural communities has raised some interesting questions about city and rural government consolidation. What sizes of cities should be encouraged in the rural areas, …

Crossbred and straightbred sale prices were analyzed utilizing the records of the Smithfield Livestock Auction.

Analysis of rancher interview data indicated that crossbred animals exceeded straightbreds in weaning weight and sale price. Crossbreds were further credited with lowering herd disease levels. No generalizations from comparative calf crop …

Executive Appraisal: Fact Or Fantasy, Daniel John Urban

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Evaluation of every employee by his superior at some time or another is a fact of life today. These appraisals take many different forms and serve an endless array of purposes.

Local Government Finance: A Projection For North Logan, Utah, J. Mark Campbell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This study was developed to determine the future fiscal condition of a small rural municipality, North Logan, Utah. An effort was made to determine whether or not present revenue sources would be able to keep pace with future expenditures at the local government level by projecting North Logan, Utah's, revenues and expenditures for 1975 and 1980.

North Logan, Utah, should not have an "expenditure-revenue gap" within the next 10 years. At this time, it would appear that because of the construction growth and sales tax proportional increases, both due to large population increases, North Logan should have sufficient revenue to …

Economic and Financial Review

The need to create the new international monetary asset called Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) arose largely from the widening gap between the volume of world trade and the means of financing it (that is, international monetary reserves). Special Drawing Rights are 'paper gold', transferable among the participating countries who are committed to accept them in exchange for convertible currencies.
