    Foucault and the Theories of Power and Identity

    Foucault believed that power is never in any one person’s hands, it does not show itself in any obvious manner but rather as something that works its way into our imaginations and serves to constrain how we act.

    Einstein's Theory Ethics

    In our restatement of Einstein's theory we say, "the most incomprehensible thing about reality is that it is knowable." From what I have gathered from Heraclites this statement holds water.

    Endogenous Growth Theory

    Recall that in the Harrod-Domar, Kaldor-Robinson, Solow-Swan and the Cass-Koopmans growth models, we have maintained, either explicitly or implicitly, that technical change is "exogenous".
