Can all the world have a share?
Article Abstract:
The recent opening of the Mongolian Stock Exchange has drawn attention to how widespread the capitalist system of company ownership has become. The shareholder-owned company system has many advantages, particularly its great flexibility and strength. However, it is not necessarily beneficial for the whole world to operate on a single system of company ownership, as this will mean that other forms of company ownership which are equally valid will be neglected. The shareholder-owned company structure also does not allow people to become shareholders in some of the most rapidly expanding sectors of the world economy.

Dear Alan and Will, Sorry. You'll have to try harder
Article Abstract:
Direct marketing activity in the UK remains extremely unsophisticated, even though providers of goods and services now have access to a wide range of information about people's purchasing habits and preferences. This means that response rates are still extremely low. However, there are now indications that direct marketing may be beginning to play a more useful role in society. In the future, direct marketing may be able to provide consumers with valuable information which will allow them to manage their purchasing and their finances more effectively.
