Free market approach to comparable worth
Article Abstract:
Objectivism can be used to critique the arguments made by proponents of the comparable worth system and to show why labor decisions are best regulated by free market forces. Objectivism posits that people's behavior is motivated by 'rational selfishness' and that the free market encourages this kind of behavior as well. The value of jobs and services must be left to the market, not to individuals' perceptions of what their work is worth. Rational entrepreneurs will realize women's worth and mandating specific treatment for them will only reinforce the old view that they cannot cope on their own.

The tax-free entity under the U.S. flag: a U.S. Virgin Islands exempt company
Article Abstract:
Persons seeking a US entity for nontax reasons may want to consider the US Virgin Islands. US Virgin Islands exempt companies receive all of the nontax advantages of incorporation in a US jurisdiction, but are not required to pay federal or local income tax. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 did away with mirror systems in all US territories except the Virgin Islands, where the rules were altered to allow for a more fair use of the system. Foreign corporations with less than 10% US ownership may qualify. Practical applications and a detailed analysis of qualifications are included.

Business, consumers and sustainable living in an interconnected world: a multilateral ecocentric approach
Article Abstract:
A multilateral ecocentric approach to conceptualizing environmental responsibility was developed. The proposed approach deviates from the traditional human-centered approach used to define environmental responsibility wherein natural resources are seen as instrumental to fulfilling human needs. In contrast, the ecocentric approach proposes that nature is central to survival and progress, and as such, man that includes business, governments, consumers and socio-political institutions should have multilateral environmental responsibility to implement sustainable development.
