Capital de facto: An Inquire into the General Theory of Capitalism

by Arman Calbay

Feeling like your salary isn’t enough? Wondering if a college education has lost its value? Sadly, that’s the reality today. But do economists offer any strategic solutions? They don't!

A Charter of Negative Liberties (Second Edition): Defining the Bill of Rights and Other Commentary

by C. Howard Diaz

I'm not one of these conservatives who believe freedom of speech gives anyone the right to burn our flag.

In my 10 plus years of teaching, I have found that students struggle with two major challenges in writing a quality capstone paper. First, they have difficulty creating a rigorous analytical framework. Too often, the papers tend to be more descriptive in nature, which means that the final policy recommendation may be flawed. This book attempts to fill that gap by discussing in detail the various components of the framework as well as their interdependence. Second, most public policy books are th... more
