MONEY MARKETS AGAINST GOVERNMENTS: TWO CENTURIES OF A SPECTACULAR GAME
In: Contemporary economic policy: a journal of Western Economic Association International, Band 3, Heft 5, S. 35-41
ISSN: 1465-7287
Monetary history is the chronicle of an unending conflict between the goals of the state and the interests of the individual. In using the power of money creation to gain control over economic resources, governments violate the interests of individuals, more subtly to be sure, but in a manner not essentially different from the foraging of an invading army. Resistance to the exactions of the state has taken two forms in modern times: the writings and counter‐speculations of three great economists—Richard Cantillon, Henry Thornton, and David Ricardo—and more recently through the operations of the money markets. What is remarkable is that this contest between the state and the individual has been staged and restaged without significant variation for more than 200 years. As Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM AND THE VOGEL APPROXIMATION METHOD
In: Decision sciences, Band 1, Heft 3-4, S. 441-457
ISSN: 1540-5915
ABSTRACTThis paper shows that the so‐called "transportation problem" possesses the four characteristics which define linear programming (LP) type problems. Thus, the transportation problem can always be solved by using the Simplex Method, a well‐known but tedious technique for dealing with any linear programming problem. A special procedure for solving the transportation problem is the so‐called "Transportation Method," which involves three steps. However, due to intricacies in steps 2 and 3, this Method can, like Simplex, become quite tedious and time‐consuming.A short‐cut approach to solving the transportation problem is the Vogel Approximation Method (VAM), which is a very simple means of performing step 1 of the Transportation Method. Application of VAM to a given problem does not guarantee that an optimal solution will result. However, a very good solution is invariably obtained, and is obtained with comparatively little effort. For many purposes, using VAM to carry out step 1 of the Transportation Method eliminates (or all but eliminates) the need for performing steps 2 and 3. The mechanics of the Vogel Approximation Method are illustrated with reference to a particular transportation problem.

An Introductory Note
In: International organization, Band 1, Heft 1, S. 1-2
ISSN: 1531-5088
International organization is not a new concept in the minds of men, but the creation of most of the international organizations now in existence has occurred within the memory of many who are by no means our oldest citizens. Before the last war, it was not too difficult for the interested layman, the scholar, the government official, or the teacher to keep abreast of new ideas and new philosophies. He watched the League of Nations, the Pan American Union, and a handful of specialized organizations like the Postal Union or the International Institute of Agriculture, and felt reasonably safe in his conviction that he could qualify as an intelligent citizen or even, at times, a teacher.
