We Can Overcome
A retired US Army lieutenant colonel and former congressman shows how black America can improve itself through conservative values. Something has happened to the black community. Over the past decades, black America stopped believing that “we shall overcome.” Instead, they began accepting handouts from the government, turning away from the values of family, selfless military service, and business ownership that have been pillars of black America from the beginning. Progressive socialism has bound them in what amounts to economic enslavement. In his third book, Lt. Col. Allen B. West (Ret.) takes readers back through the political history of the black community, highlighting the history o...
Literary Patronage in The Middle Ages
Published in 1966: The present study attempts in its fashion to supply a connected account of this somewhat neglected phase of medieval literary life, and to look carefully in earlier ages for the origins of medieval patronage. As one may suppose a patron might be approached and the modes in which his favour might be extended were exhausted at a very early period, so that patronage of letters cannot be said to show much development or progress.
Children's Dreams
Originally published in 1920, Children's Dreams offers a rough classification of the type of dream peculiar to children of different ages, showing the variation from year to year and the influence of the environment. Considering children's dreams according to different age brackets ranging from five to eighteen years of age, and also considering the dreams of deaf and blind children, this book understands the important part played by the unconscious in the child's normal behaviour and recognises its educational value.
Introduction to Economics
Originally published in 1919, this book is an outgrowth of classroom discussions. It contains in substance the talks on economics which have been made, for the past eleven years, to the author's classes in Cornell and New York Universities. The time has long since passed when a single volume can treat exhaustively the whole field of economics; designed as an introduction, this book will servce as a means to the end of a more intelligent study of economic questions and prepares the mind of the student for the thought contained in the more advanced and specialized works on the subject and the practical applications they reveal.

The Finality of the Higher Criticism
First published in 1988, this volume was originally published, according to the authors, thanks to a ‘conscious call’. They were ‘fully persuaded that the honor of Christ and the very life of His church are alike endangered by the doubting spirit now brooding over the educational institutions of America.’ The book contains chapters on the prominence of scepticism in schools; the theory of evolution and false theology; and the sacred scriptures.
Community, A Sociological Study
First published in 1917, this work seeks to be an introduction to the concept of community, the term which best expresses the object which social science as such endeavours to study; it is in community, the common life, that the interests represented by the specific social sciences are bound together, made integral, and thus amenable to a more comprehensive science. Community, A Sociological Study, includes an examination on the false perspectives of community, the elements of community, the structure of community and institutions.

Kings Mountain
Learn the little-known history of the turning-point battle of Kings Mountain, one of the most decisive American victories in the Revolutionary War. The Battle of Kings Mountain was the most remarkable, unexpected, and unorthodox patriot victory of supreme importance that was fought during the course of the American Revolution. The victors of Kings Mountain were South Carolina, Virginia, and North Carolina Backcountry volunteers (including men from today’s Tennessee) of a ghost army that suddenly materialized practically out of thin air from both sides of the Appalachian Mountains on its own and without authorization from the Continental Congress or Continental officers. To defend their far...
The post-financial crisis macroprudential regulatory policy and the future of banking. Back to a public utility?
Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: Distinction, , language: English, abstract: The concept of “banking as a public utility” only makes sense when contemplating the traditional commercial and retail banking services for the public, such as operating deposit accounts, executing payment services or providing loans. In the early stages of banking, when interest charged on loans and deposits was merely symbolic - largely due to the religious restrictions on usury -, banking practices were seen as serving a low-return public utility. In this research paper, I addressed the question of whether large banks, forced to reduce leverage and strengthen liquidity in light of rigorous capital adequacy requirements, will restrict their business in the near future by getting rid of non-core activities, only to permanently turn to low-risk and limited profitability basic banking activities, serving a public role similar to that of public utilities such as gas, water or electric companies.
