From the Paper
"Stories about Arthur and his court have fascinated people in the 21st century just as they did in Wales before the 11th century. At this point in history, European fame came through Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia regum Britanniae (between 1135 and 1139), celebrating a glorious and triumphant king who defeated a Roman army in eastern France; however, he was mortally wounded in battle during a rebellion at home led by his nephew Mordred. Some of the distinguishing features of Geoffrey's story were marvelous fabrications, and some aspects of the Celtic stories were subsequently modified to suit feudal times. The vision of Arthur as a world conqueror was obviously inspired by legends surrounding great leaders such as Alexander the Great and Charlemagne; later writers, most notably Wace of Jersey and Layamon, fleshed out certain details, especially in connection with Arthur's knightly fellowship."

Abstract
A review of the work of John P. Cochran and Fred R. Glahe regarding the Hayek-Keynes debate on trade-cycle theory. Both theorists followed the Wicksellian transmission mechanism concerning saving, investment, and interest rates. Keynes expected public's liquidity demand and the banking system's practices to maintain the money interest rate. Hayek proceeded from an expansion of money credit resulting in a money interest rate below the equilibrium rate.

Abstract
The paper explores the rise out of despair of the Vine City community of Atlanta, during the crucial Civil Rights years of 1964-1968. The paper shows how Vine City was largely a missed opportunity during this period in American history. The paper focuses on the Vine City Improvement Association, under the leadership of J. Otis Cochran and others and how these individuals fought to make a better way for the community's residents. The paper analyzes the self-help programs and initiatives developed by individuals and organizations in the Vine City area and assesses the legacy of these actions on Vine City today.

From the Paper
"While the city of Atlanta itself is relatively small, it is surrounded by a number of suburbs, including Vine City. Over the years, Vine City has been the victim of various property development initiatives that were designed to benefit the City of Atlanta in general, while sacrificing quality of life considerations for Vine City residents in the process. While other similarly situated suburbs of Atlanta, particularly low-income predominately black ones, have experienced comparable problems in the past, Vine City in particular seems to epitomize the problems associated with developmental issues in the face of a political machine that fails to embrace all of the stakeholders involved. In the face of such challenges, though, Vine City has also been the source of a number of black leaders that modeled the way by mobilizing resources and ensuring that the voices of Vine City residents were no longer ignored."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Cochrane (2008) introduces the festival elephant and worker elephants as analogues for different kinds of poverty and, by extension, different kinds of solutions to poverty. Inspired by Cochrane, this paper adopts a similar approach in assessing both the nature of Canadian poverty and responses to it, which this writer places into developmental and anthropological categories. The paper concludes by upholding Cochrane's view that poverty has multiple, contextually-dependent solutions, all of which hinge on properly addressing the worker elephant; in Canada's case, the application of this solution lies in the portfolio system of social services, which the writer classifies as an anthropological solution to poverty.

Abstract
This paper describes William F. Frederick's early experiences in business, how he got started in the business of selling pianos, the growth, expansion, and success of Frederick's business, and the eventual downfall of his company.

From the Paper
"Before the 1870s, coal and coke extraction in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, had been handled on a small, experimental basis. However, between 1876 and 1882, the number of beehive coke ovens increased exponentially. The amount rose from 3,000 to 8,400. In fact, by 1907, nearly 24,000 coke ovens were running. This had a tremendous impact on the socio-economic conditions of the area. Local residents had regular work (albeit very difficult and unhealthy), and thousands of immigrants from Eastern Europe relocated here for jobs in the coalmines and coke works. The new industry also had a major effect on local business. Money was plentiful for those who made the first investments in coal and the merchants benefited from the employees' regular paychecks. William F. Frederick, owner of Pittsburgh's W.F. Frederick Piano Company, which became the largest establishment in the world devoted exclusively to selling pianos, was one such fortunate businessman."
