In the Intellectual Sphere, millions of people and billions of US dollars are involved. Is the index for the Intellectual Sphere is absent to this day?

The absence of the exchange index in the Intellectual Sphere of the USA and other economically developed countries has a negative effect on everything. It is difficult to talk definitely about the tendencies on the market of informational and entertainment services.,

Today, it is imperative that we create the stock exchange index for the Intellectual Sphere which would resemble that of the Dow-Jones index. But, for the exchange index of the Intellectual Sphere, I suggest using another logic that differs from that logic used in 1897.

Firstly, at creating the stock exchange index (SEI) of the intellectual sphere, I proceed from the fact that the intellectual sphere represents the economic system, the resources of which are moving in economic space.

Secondary, indexes should be of two kinds for intellectual values and intellectual services.

The volume also constitutes a sort of progress report on the study of historical entrepreneurship, which had already been carried on at Harvard for a number of years, and which was spreading in other universities. In this book, the author maintains that attention to this area offers a useful bridge between business administration and economics as well as between these two subjects and the somewhat isolated fields of economic and business history.

Why are most businesses less efficient that they could be? Why do two identical Ford plants in England and Germany, manufacturing identical cars, have vastly different rates of production? Harvey Leibenstein explores such questions in depth, using ideas and evidence from economics, game theory, psychology, and other disciplines. He observes that employees usually perform best when they work under a moderate amount of pressure – not too little and not too much. But this sort of balanced situation is rare, so most workers in low-pressure situations may shirk their tasks, while those in a stressful environment may cave in.

To avoid this state of affairs, Leibenstein argues, workers tacitly adopt conventions about proper degrees of effort. These standards, which frequently defy rational considerations, are largely governed by the history of the firm, the degree of hierarchy, and the nature of the competitive relationships within the firm. Leibenstein analyzes the structure and functioning of companies with multiple levels of hierarchy, pinpointing sources of inefficiency. He also examines the question of entrepreneurship.

Author Luther Tweeten bases his prescription for both rich and poor countries on what works and not on ideology. He notes that chronic general poverty and hunger are not the products of meager world resources or greedy corporations, but of dysfunctional policies, institutions, and cultures. Dr. Tweeten's market-oriented model promotes economic equity as well as efficiency, and recognizes the critical role of institutions and culture in the process. He carefully defines and explains the standard model, shows gains available from reforming international trade and aid policy, recognizes the pivotal role of agriculture in development, and outlines the promise and pitfalls of coping with falling world population that will attend economic progress.

Here's what others say about Prescription for a Successful Economy: In this tour de force, Luther Tweeten outlines the essentials for a successful economy. The book goes far beyond the narrow prescriptions of the much-criticized "Washington Consensus" to cover key aspects of governance and equity as well as growth. -John Mellor, CEO, John Mellor Associates, and former Director General, International Food Policy Research Institute, Washington, DC

Luther Tweeten delivers what he promises: A prescription for increasing welfare through economic growth and appropriate policies and institutions. Prescription for a Successful Economy is a must read for students of economic development and public policy, policy advisors and policy makers, and others seeking a better understanding of what works in economic development and poverty alleviation. -Per Pinstrup-Andersen, H.E. Babcock Professor, Cornell University, and former Director General, International Food Policy Research Institute

Unpaid payroll tax problems develop. He is forced to give up total ownership and becomes a minority owner with severe restrictions on the payment of operating expenses and tax liabilities.

He severs his ties with the company, giving up his 25% ownership, with a stipulation that the new ownership will assume all outstanding liablilities. This fact is documented by future legal documents. However, even though the IRS had numerous opportunities to collect these outstanding tax obligations, and verifiable information that the corporation had accepted these liabilities, the IRS never took action against the corporation. In fact the IRS made some very unusual decisions relative to the corporate liabilities and instead began a fifteen-year episode of harassment, untruths, conflicting statements and advice. These circumstances put the author's life in a state of extreme emotional tension, frustration and depression. The story presents evidence to show anyone with a potential IRS problem that they should strongly consider whether they are prepared to face such a government agency and the continual, unrelenting battle that will follow.
