Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those who have pondered the question of why some ethnic groups seem to prosper in America while others fall behind, one only has to read the message presented here by C. Mark Hollomon. In his book, The Godly Principle of Self-Interest, Mr. Hollomon gives specific answers to Black America as to how and why other groups with cultures such as ethnicity and language are able to come to America, and in a short period of time manage to establish a strong presence economically and politically. A prime example is the Cuban population of Florida. Since the rise of Fidel Castro in Cuba, dissatisfied Cubans have fled Cuba, practiced cooperative economics, built their economic power base and, thus, transformed this base into a political machine, particularly in South Florida. All this was accomplished using the methods C. Mark Hollomon has described in this book. By simple observation, one can also note the Vietnamese boat people in Garden Grove, California, and the Korean population in Los Angeles as other examples of groups that have practiced self-interest successfully. Hollomons message is clear. Black America must harness their buying power and invest in their own community. Black dollars are being siphoned out of the inner cities by groups that do not typically re-invest back into the community which sustains them so well. Ownership is the key. Making a determined and conscious effort about how to use your economic clout is what most groups of like culture have been doing for decades. As a Latino American, I can personally endorse the principles in this book as applicable and beneficialnot only for Black people, but for all people. The blueprint is here. The examples are easily and readily viewed. C. Mark Hollomons words ring true.. Richard Roman. Business Owner. B.A., History. University of California, Los Angeles

Download or read book The Treasure Principle Revised and Updated written by Randy Alcorn and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today. Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead! Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to be. “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.” - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

Download or read book Self Interest before Adam Smith written by Pierre Force and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-04 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-Interest before Adam Smith inquires into the foundations of economic theory. It is generally assumed that the birth of modern economic science, marked by the publication of The Wealth of Nations in 1776, was the triumph of the 'selfish hypothesis' (the idea that self-interest is the motive of human action). Yet, as a neo-Epicurean idea, this hypothesis had been a matter of controversy for over a century and Smith opposed it from a neo-Stoic point of view. But how can the Epicurean principles of orthodox economic theory be reconciled with the Stoic principles of Adam Smith's philosophy? Pierre Force shows how Smith's theory refutes the 'selfish hypothesis' and integrates it at the same time. He also explains how Smith appropriated Rousseau's 'republican' critique of modern commercial society, and makes the case that the autonomy of economic science is an unintended consequence of Smith's 'republican' principles.

Download or read book Political Development and Democratic Theory written by Steven J. Hood and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 2004-05-17 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most comparativists have assumed that democratization is best understood by looking at regimes in the transition and consolidation phases of democracy without really considering the essence of democracy - liberal rights and democratic virtues. Democracy is seen as a mechanistic process without considering the ideas that build democratic regimes. This book begins afresh by proposing that comparativists need to consider democracy to be a combination of rights and virtues, and that the difficulties of democratic transitions, consolidation, and maintenance are essentially problems relating to balancing rights and virtues in the regime. How do we reemphasize these aspects of democracy at a time when comparative literature focuses almost solely on democratic procedure? By combining the best elements of comparative theory and liberal democratic philosophy, Hood argues that comparativists can sharpen the scholarly tools we need to understand both the problems of democratization and maintaining democracy. He provides the reader with a valuable overview of comparative theory and how our abandonment of political philosophy has led to our acceptance of social science methods.

Download or read book A Religion of the Word written by Catharine Davies and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, Catharine Davies makes a contribution to the history of print culture. In her examination of a broad range of material she gains insight into Protestant consciousness and a deeper understanding of the English Reformation. We find that the attitude of the Protestants was at this stage far from triumphalist. Rather, contemporary printed sources reflect the defensive attitude of a minority who were still uneasy in their relations with the ruling regime, and who saw the Reformation as a newly established and fragile opportunity for radical change. This book bears out revisionist views of the English Reformation, but also balances them by providing a sense of the creativity of the protestant camp.
