Abstract

The de‐industrialization of the United States has been foretold by many prophets of gloom. It is true that in the past three years the economy has dramatically shifted from the production of goods to services. Nevertheless, the production of manufactured goods, as a percent of Gross National Product (GNP) has actually grown during the past decade. The reality is the U.S. de‐industrialization problem does not lie in output but in employment.

Abstract

Productivity growth in the United States slowed dramatically during the Seventies. One measure of total factor productivity growth averaged 2.6 percent from 1948 to 1966, and 1.7 percent from 1966 to 1973, but only 0.2 percent during the 1973–81 period. Other measures of productivity growth show a similar picture. Even after adjusting for the weakness in the economy in 1981—which adds only 0.2 to 0.3 percentage points to the 1973–81 growth rate—the average annual rate of productivity growth during the mid‐ and late Seventies declined over 2 percentage points from the early postwar period, and well over 1 percentage point from the 1966–73 period.

Abstract

Proposals to create a formal, comprehensive U.S. industrial policy are now receiving wide attention in Washington and in the press. Moreover, the continued relatively weak performance of many manufacturing industries, along with ongoing rising import penetration into U.S. markets, is likely to make it a topic for presidential electioneering.

Abstract

The enormous changes of recent years in the food and drink processed and marketed for our consumption has made certain that the law of the sale of food and drugs, despite its history of a hundred years, will not remain static. One would think that everything that could be interpreted and defined had been so long ago, but the law is dynamic; it is growing all the time. The statutes, at the time of their coming into operation, seem to provide for almost every contingency, yet in a few years, the Courts have modified their effect, giving to clauses new meaning, and even making new law of them. It has always been so. The High Court of Justice not only interprets the law, but from time immemorial, Her Majesty's judges have been making law. Long before Parliament became a statute‐making body, with the legal capacity to “change a man into a woman,” and the supreme court of the land, judges were making the law—the Common Law of England, which settlers during the centuries have taken to the four quarters of the world, where it has invariably grown lustily. Decisions of the Supreme Courts of these newer countries, are accepted as case law here and legal principles evolved from them have returned to enrich the law of the old country.

Abstract

Suicide behaviour rates vary significantly between countries due to a range of cultural, behavioural and health‐related factors. Gender and age‐related factors also appear to be impor tant key determinants of vulnerability to suicide ideation and suicide completion. The homeless population is par ticularly at risk, due to multiple complex issues that relate to social exclusion, alcohol, drug, mental health and nutritional issues. Studying homeless people is problematic due to access, the transitory nature of their contact with statutary services, problems of self‐repor t and recall in people ‐ some of whom have mental health and cognitive issues. There is an increasing interest from practitioners and academic researchers in spiritual factors that appear to modulate the responses of an individual to the internal and external threats that underlie the motivation to end his or her life. Effective approaches to suicide prevention and crisis management require a good understanding of the interplay between this complex set of biological, psychological and social domains. These will be explored in the final section of this review. This paper, therefore, aims to provide a non‐systematic review of the existing literature published in academic journals and relvant ‘grey literature’ and focuses on themes in the literature that will hopefully inform both policy and practice.
