Almost 4,000 years ago, an enlightened leader named Hammurabi, ruler of Babylon, enacted a set of rules now known as the "Code of Hammurabi. The famous "eye for an eye" concept originated in his code. Most of these rules were common sense and still apply today.
This paper contrasts four distinct versions of the Prisoner's Dilemma (the commons, public goods, biological altruism, and biological selfishness) in terms of their ethical content for economic decision making. An argument is made for the restoration of Tucker's third player - as given in the original specification of the game - in order to judge whether a resolution is desirable in economic and business situations that reduce to the Prisoner's Dilemma. Finally, the use of tit-for-tat as a 'solution' to the Prisoner's Dilemma is compared with the practice of business ethics.

Mr. Preisser also looked to Margaret Mead's book "Sex and Temperament" as grounds for the production's sprawling sexuality, with its strained intimations unsupported by Sh...
I would be interested in an investigation of a version of what we political scientists call the "black threat" thesis ("The Latino Factor," Nov. 28). That's the notion that white voters in jurisdictions with large African-American populations tend to vote against black candidates in larger proportions than do white voters in jurisdictions with small black populations. The question here would be: Do white voters in jurisdictions with large concentrations of Hispanics tend to vote against Hispanic candidates in larger proportions than do white voters in jurisdictions with smaller Hispanic populations?
