• The Determinants of Inward Foreign Direct Investment: The Case of Malaysia

• Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.-Vision and Agenda

LBJ (President Lyndon Baines Johnson) with a vision of the "Great Society" - connected rising hopes and healing with investment and legislation. But then the shift from the "War On Poverty" to "war on the poor." The poor are the first to die in war, and the last to benefit at home.
