Adam Smith‚ the father of economics‚ published The Wealth of Nations in 1776. Although it made little impact in its time‚ it conceptualised the economy in a radical new way: in terms of individual agents‚ acting out of self-interest.

Reflection Paper‚ Keenan‚ Chapters 1 and 2 The first main point that Keenan covers in chapter 1‚ Love‚ is about union. He does this to reinforce what drives love between individuals‚ whether it’s romantic or platonic love.

American parents of that day were much more comfortable admitting to congenital than to adventitious deafness
