Fashions Of The Day In Medicine And Science

Excerpt from Fashions of the Day in Medicine and Science: A Few More Hints My medical critic evidently thinks that a writer against the holy rite of vaccination must be so diabolical that for Christianity to be in any way discussed by him, from the Christian point of view, is a sort of blasphemy and then he quotes the old story of the drunken, swearing, English soldier, finishing an argument about the French invading England, by shouting out at the top of his voice, Curse it all, sir, what I want to know is this. If the country is to be invaded by an infernal pack of d Papists, what the is to become of our holy religion Of course in this story the drunken, swearing soldier is intended to represent me. My critic tells the story, but does it so badly that the point is lost. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Dealing with factors affecting economic growth in knowledge-based societies, the author shows that the interaction between material and nonmaterial values is the ultimate source of all economic growth. The model thus developed predicts the quantitative facts concerning business cycles better than the conventional real-cycle models, while also producing a new growth path whose existence is verified by empirical facts. The results provide strong evidence of the economic relevance of nonmaterial values, and also prompt a new view of the stochastic elements in the business cycles.
