...better be entitled Political Economy, for every course tends to emphasize the fact that economics cannot be separated from politics. Through full courses on various special subjects like Public Finance and Utilities a broad survey of the subject is attempted, and although each course is designed to include the major problems existent today, it is of course impossible for them to provide the answers. Thus, the field does not intend to offer practical value--in the narrow vocational sense, since it feels that practical training should be obtained after College in places like the Business School.

It makes no bones about pointing out that the eventually accepted solution, i.e., that the disease was spread by the Stegomyia mosquito, was something that...
...dead German deserter. He was caught and sentenced to be shot for desertion. Grischa proved his identity, was nevertheless ordered shot in his false identity as a German deserter. Gradually, as one soldier after another was shocked at the injustice, his case became the centre of a major conflict. A sergeant tried to save him, then a lieutenant, finally a general. They compromised their army careers, suffered the constant temptation to let the whole affair go. When millions of men were dying, what difference did the death of one more make...
