92. Charles Dow, The History Of The Dow Jones Averages, Dow Jones Averages Chronolog
    Information about how Charles Dow devised the now famous stock averages and a chronology of their activity from 1884 to 1995.  
    http://www.cftech.com/BrainBank/FINANCE/DowJonesAvgsHist.html
    
    Extractions: Neither financier nor broker Charles Dow was a journalist. The stock averages he devised provided a window for outsiders to view the market; Wall Street types were welcome to use it, but they were not his chief concern. When Dow came to Wall Street, the investment market of choice was bonds. Investors liked securities that were backed by real machinery, factories and other hard assets. They felt reassured by the predictability of income that bonds offered, as well as the specific dates of maturity when their principle would be returned. The stock market , by contrast, dealt in "shares of ownership'' which had no specific claim on anything a company owned. People on Wall Street found it difficult to analyze the daily jumble of up-a-quarter and down-an-eighth or whether stocks generally were rising, falling or staying even. Charles Dow devised his stock average to make sense of this confusion. He began in 1884 with 11 stocks, most of them railroads. Railroads were among the biggest and sturdiest companies in America at that time, which is why they dominated Dow's first average. Few stocks of industrial companies were publicly traded, and those were considered highly speculative.

    http://www.merrimack-films.com/history.html
    
    Extractions: After just 15 years General Motors and the United Auto Workers abandoned their world famous and often copied union-management partnership to go back to their traditional national contract. What happened? A classic study of dissatisfied workers turning out products with major flaws. When New York City emerged from bankruptcy, all its municipal unions wanted to make up for the hard times they'd suffered. The problem was that the city was almost broke. Hard times in North America's rust belt changed an old union tradition. Instead of negotiating for more in each new contract, the time came for a proud and progressive union to settle for less. Are North American unions destined to fade away, or can the unions reform in time to save themselves?

96. Treasure And Prices In Spain 1505-1650
    Provide statistics to test the idea that the price level is related to the inflow of treasure into the Spanish economy.  
    http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/spgold.htm
    
    Extractions: USA Treasure and Prices in Spain 1505-1650 In the sixteenth century gold and silver poured into Spain from Mexico, Peru and the rest of the Spanish Empire. Prices rose. The observation of a probable connection between the inflow of treasure and the rise in prices was one of the first formulations of an economic theory, in this case The Crude Quantity Theory of Money. The statistics available allow one to test the idea that the price level is related to the amount of money in circulation. Only part of the data is available so there cannot be a definitive test of this theory. There are statistics on the import of treasure into Spain but not for the export of gold and silver. Also the extent of hoarding and the diversion of gold and silver into jewelery and decoration is unknown. The amount of money other than gold and silver is not known either. Nevertheless the statistics that are available allow a crude test of the crude quantity theory of money. Year Cumulative

    Extractions: New York I grew up in an environment where I was encouraged to be very creative. My mother was an artist. My father was a third-generation ironworker. He made things with his hands. So genetically, you could say I was predisposed to design, which is a combination of both. I never envisioned myself at an advertising agency. But I always wanted to make a good living creatively. I just wasn't sure how. The essence of what makes a truly great creative person is the ability to remove oneself from the process. You have to become the person for whom the work is being done. And what that means in terms of my work here is that it's never done for a client; it's done for the people the client is talking to. That removal of oneself is critical, not only to executing the work but also in explaining why a solution is right for the client. I'll give you an example from one of our accounts. Most people look at a Target ad and say it's just fashion. There's no concept to it or at least what the advertising world thinks of as a concept. But it's high fashion for a mass brand. Talk about concepts. That's a very big concept.
