Justice Before Efficiency The market economy must be bound from the start to the principles of a fully-de4veloped civil society. More is involved than a belated redistribution. The market principle is systematically partial for the strong, for those with enormous capital. A business must not only serve the profit interests of the owners. A citizen is basically a social being. To overcome feudalism, precedence must be given to human- and civil rights over the controlling power based on property....

The Financial System as a Parasite of the Economic System In the global tax competition over tax revenues collapsing worldwide, states are run by a global financial and banking system and made into debtors.

Union Victory in Boeing vs National Labor Relations Board Boeing planned to move production facilities to South Carolina as retaliation for previous union activity, but the result was a union victory. Presidential candidate Ron Paul is one of many who have misunderstood the complaint filed with the NLRB.
