Eccentricity and indulgence in autocratic rulers

Article Abstract:

A human actor model and a wealth-and-power-maximization model were constructed to test whether rulers exhibit eccentric and sexually indulgent behavior that disrupts the pursuit of power and riches depending on their political circumstances and the nature of their rise to power. The model used data on the Ming dynasty emperors of China, French rulers from Charles VII, the Mugal emperors of India and the Ottoman sultans.

Manufacturers' lament

Article Abstract:

Australian policymakers who hope for a dramatic revitalization of the nation's manufacturing base are likely to be disappointed. Australia's labor-intensive manufacturers will be supplanted by Asian competitors, but the loss in jobs will be compensated for by growth in the nation's service economy.
