 The Avalon Project : Labour Defended against the Claims of Capital
He speaks of capital as an instrument of production co-operating with labour, as an active agent combining with labour to produce commodities, and thus he satisfies himself, and endeavours to prove to the reader that capital is entitled to all that large share of the produce it actually receives.
All fixed capital, not only in the first instance, as is generally admitted, but in every stage of society, at every period in the history of man, is the creation of labour and of skill, of different species of labour and skill certainly, but of nothing more than labour and skill.
As the efficiency of the fixed capital is increased by men obtaining greater knowledge and greater skill, it is quite possible, and is the case, that a greater quantity of commodities, or a greater means of nourishing and supporting men, is obtained with less capital.

 Capital Controls: Country Experiences with Their Use and Liberalization
The ease with which restrictions are circumvented is mitigated somewhat in countries that have a strong monitoring and enforcement capacity and are able to quickly adjust controls to close off avenues for circumvention.
Countries’ experiences also show that even current transactions and foreign direct investment have been vehicles for circumvention, which attests to the difficulty of targeting even at the broadest level.
Moreover, as countries differ in their ability to implement and enforce various types of policies, the appropriate mix of capital controls and prudential policies to be used in moving toward capital account convertibility will also need to be tailored to a country's specific circumstances.

 Capital flows, country risk, and contagion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The pure country risk and global risk components are then used as explanatory variables to account for the observed pattern of capital flows using multivariate cointegration analyses.
When further decomposing country risk into its determinants, the author finds that within a small system it is possible to jointly identify the determinants of capital flows and sovereign bond spreads.
We find that capital flows are driven by country risk and global factors (" contagion " and U.S. long-term interest rates), while country risk is determined by the primary balance-to-GDP ratio (-) and the ratio of public debt to GDP (+).

 Labour Defended against the Claims of Capital by Thomas Hodgskin 1825   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
His economic writings were based on the idea that labour is the sole source of wealth, and that the workers were deprived of their true share of the wealth they produced.
This power or tendency to accumulate, he adds, is not so great as the tendency of population to augment — and on the difference between these two tendencies he and other authors have erected a theory of society which places poor Mother Nature in no favourable light.
Whoever may be the owner of fixed capital — and in the present state of society he who makes it is not, and he who uses it is not — it is the hand and knowledge of the labourer which make it, preserve it from decay, and which use it to any beneficial end.

 Country Music Capital meets Music City
The country music program John hosted was one of a number born out of the need for changes designed to meet the challenge of television which commenced in Tamworth on April 10, 1965, and took away most of the station’s night-time (then prime time) advertising revenue.
Part of John’s success as Australia’s first full-time country music broadcaster was the fact that unlike so many other broadcasters of the day, John preferred to play Australian music, giving exposure all over the nation to country artists who were battling to be heard.
By the late ‘60s it was becoming apparent that country music offered big possibilities for 2TM and Tamworth and in 1969, John was one of the group at the radio station who launched the Tamworth, Country Music Capital, concept.
