Leverage Buyouts Of The 80's Vs. Medieval Times
[ send me this paper ]
In this thoughtful 4 page essay, the writer makes comparisons between the role of the stirrup (horse & saddle) during the Middle Ages and the leverage buyout of the 1980's (U.S. economic history). It is argued that in the Middle Ages, the need for a Cavalry presented itself in order to protect the lords and the system of feudalism. Without such Cavalry, the system would collapse and those who held the power and the wealth would cease to hold it. In the 1980s, the conditions were similar. During that time period an overwhelming sense of greed and a thirst for power took hold among those in the stock market, or those who had control of the money and the economy.

size of a geographic area, its population, and
relative economic , social and cultural weighing.
He explains that the model that was used previously
as a building block for understanding the
nation-state as a concept, was really a "multi-
national" mix rather than a physical site or
setting that occurred in real geography. A recent
survey determined that a "micro-state" was one
having a land area of less than a thousand square
kilometers and a population of less than 500,000
