Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Board of Destiny raises sharp questions about American society
as most accept and live it today. It is a story of one man's
struggle to explore these issues, culminating in his awareness of a
new way of living. Do you have the courage to venture his path and
to ask these questions of yourself? * * * The idea that "there must
be more to life" enters almost every person's mind at some point.
Most are able to put the idea aside, others are haunted by the
thought of it, and some decide that they must go find out. What if
you are young, educated, and on the fast track to success when
suddenly you find yourself in the category of those who have to go
in search of more? How does a normal, rational, and well-adjusted
person come to such a decision? What forces him to act on the
impulse? How does he abandon everything he has been working so hard
to obtain? Robert Marion has lots of friends, a good job, a great
girlfriend, and many of the possessions that the American dream has
taught him are required to be happy. His life is perfect until the
death of a close relative causes him to question his comfortable
existence. The answer to Robert's question comes in the form of a
dream. In it, he sees that he is supposed to go in search of life's
most important question. He tries to put the dream aside, as he is
convinced that he can't simply disappear.or can he? Eventually
Robert cracks and he travels to Europe where he does become
enlightened. However, he also begins talking to himself in public,
has sexual encounters in brothels, and begins trusting his dreams
and visions more than his conscious judgment. After a couple of
years have passed, Sarah, his girlfriend from Charleston, learns of
hiswhereabouts and wants to bring him home. Can she reach him in
time, or is he lost forever.?
This open-minded, multidisciplinary approach challenges existing
world views on the endogenous and exogenous forces that drive
markets and economies. Nine narrative chapters and a conclusion
provide an accessible history of key premises and assumptions in
the mental models proposed by several major economists since the
1776 publication of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and show
how-and why-those models and their underlying assumptions have
changed over time. The book addresses the legacies of major
economists, describes their historical and analytical influence,
documents the interaction among various schools of thought as well
as how they differ, and the implications that this history has for
economics and the policy sciences in the decades ahead. The author
focuses on the mental maps economists have created in an attempt to
understand the forces that destroyed "order," explaining how these
maps incorporate a non-mathematical presentation of evolving
dictionaries, novel analytical perspectives, new evidence, and a
reliance on value assumptions. He traces the underlying
assumptions, continuities, and differences among major economists
including Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, Alfred
Marshall, John Maynard Keynes, Karl Marx, Thorstein Veblen, and
Joseph Schumpeter. Readers will grasp how the classic theories
still influence economists' mental models today and come away with
a basic economic literacy that puts this important social science
in historical context. This is essential reading for all the social
and policy sciences. Explores how economists described the forces
that drive markets and economies, explains why these descriptions
have changed over time, and identifies the impacts that historical
events and the growth of the economics profession have had on these
descriptions Questions whether the mental models and economic
assumptions initially proposed by Adam Smith should continue to be
used Examines not only historic events and the development of
economic and socio-political theories but also addresses questions
about the future of economics and other social sciences
