William Brough, Chapter VI: Mandatory Money and Free Money Here we see how money first came into use in the world.it becomes money only when it is used as the common medium of exchange. First published in 1896, The Natural Law of Money is a fascinating look into the mind of the man who played a pivotal role in world of economic thinking. William Brough argues forcefully that privately supplied money offers benefits not offered by government-supplied money. Contents include. - The Beginning of Money - Bi-Metallism and Mono-Metallism - Paper-Money and Banking - Paper-Money in Colonial Times - Monetary System of Canada as Contrasted with that of The United States - Money, Capital, and Interest - Mandatory Money and Free Money - The Hoarding Panic of July 1893 WILIAM BROUGH (b.1826) began to study medicine as a young man but abandoned it to join the world of business. He moved to New York in the mid-19th century and then to Pennsylvania, where he was a pioneer in the development of the oil industry. Upon his retirement, he devoted his time to the study of economics that resulted in a tenured professorship in his name at Williams College.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49800560148753,"sku":"CIN0809146576G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0809146576.jpg?v=1751296900"},{"product_id":"christology-as-narrative-quest-book-michael-l-cook-sj-9780814658543","title":"Christology as Narrative Quest","description":"How central is narrative to Christology? To human experience?  In exploring these questions Michal Cook maintains in Christology as Narrative Quest the primacy and centrality of narrative in communicating the significance of Jesus Christ, and demonstrates ways in which narrative\" in four faith images has played a role in the shaping of Christology. These forms and their texts are: biblical (the Gospel of Mark); creedal (the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed); systematic (Aquinas' Summa theologiae); and social transformation (the \"story\" of Mexican-Americans.) all of these images are ways of using narrative imagery to connect idea and experience.  A detailed analysis reveals that each of these forms involve what well-known ethicist Alasdair MacIntyre calls a \"narrative quest.\" In each case an image of Jesus that is fundamental for integrating a particular form of the \"narrative quest\" emerges.  Father Cook contends that Christology in any age is the culture-specific faith response of the community of believers\/disciples (Church) to the mystery of the risen Jesus a mystery that, identified with the very life, activity, and presence of God, simply transcends any attempt we make, whether biblical, creedal, systematic, or societal, to bring it to expression.  The four faith images (biblical, creedal, systematic, social transformation) and their texts broadly correspond to significant periods in the history of Christianity: the Jewish-Gentile Church, the Hellenistic-Byzantine (imperial) Church, the Latin-Western (papal) Church, and the contemporary, post-Vatican II emergence of the world-wide Church.  Graduate students, academicians, and others who want a scholarly or professional reference work will appreciate this substantive look into the relationship of narrative and Christology.  Chapters examine the four faith images. They are \"The Centrality of Narrative in Christology,\" \"A Biblical Image: 'The Beloved Son' in the Gospel of Mark,\" \"A Creedal Image: 'The Pre-Existent Son' in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed,\" \"A Systematic Image: 'The Incarnate Word' in the Summa theologiae of Thomas Aquinas,\" and \"A Social Transformation Image: 'The Rejected Prophet' in the Mexican-American Experience.\"  Michael L. Cook, SJ, ThD, is a professor of theology at Gonzaga University. He also taught at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley and was a visiting professor at the Catholic University in Santiago, Chile. He is the author of Responses to 101 Questions About Jesus.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50368663781649,"sku":"CIN0814658547G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50984549548305,"sku":"NIN9780814658543","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52333120225553,"sku":"NLS9780814658543","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0814658547.jpg?v=1751362270"},{"product_id":"monthly-murders-book-michael-l-cook-9780313231261","title":"Monthly Murders","description":"Product information not available.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52133446320401,"sku":"NLS9780313231261","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780313231261.jpg?v=1757530503"},{"product_id":"mystery-detective-and-espionage-magazines-book-michael-l-cook-9780313233104","title":"Mystery, Detective, and Espionage Magazines","description":"Cook's accounts of periodicals are consistently informative, clear, and penetrating: his sensitivity to much of what he discusses, is, at times, positively uncanny.
