Adam Smith on monopoly: the 'mean rapacity, the monopolizing spirit.' (excerpts from 'The Wealth of Nations')

Article Abstract:

Twentieth century policymakers often incorrectly invoke the economic philosophy of Adam Smith to support their beliefs that monopoly is superior to competition. Adam Smith despised monopoly as a threat to a free market economy. Evidence of Smith's actual philosophy is found in excerpts presented from his 1776 book, 'The Wealth of Nations.'

Critical praxis, spirit healing, and community activism: preserving a subersive dialogue on reparations

Article Abstract:

The movement for restitution for African American slavery can play the valuable role of challenging white privilege, restoring black history, and healing the psychological brutalization of African Americans. The dialogue itself can end racial inequality. This is a more important goal than any short-term scheme for monetary reparations.
