It wasn't that Grove was a ne'er-do-well in his previous life, as German scholar Klaus Martens reveals in his new and very readable 600-page compilation of never-before-published Grove documents and letters titled Over Canadian Trails, a riff on the title of Grove's famous first book, Over Prairie Trails.
[Herman Kilian] was homosexual and apparently in love with his young artist friend. Kilian turned bitterly jealous when Grove took up with a woman and suddenly demanded Grove pay up his loans. Grove was a struggling young writer and in no position to repay. Kilian tricked Grove into meeting him, then had police arrest him.
Grove was not always liked by neighbours, however. His book touched on sexual subjects at a time when there was a Stalinist-like censorship of any such references. ...

A major debate neglected by accounting historians is the importance of landlords in the English agricultural revolution. Accounting evidence from the historical literature is used to test Marx's theory that, from around 1750, England's landlords played a pivotal role by adopting and then spreading the capitalist mentality and social relations by enclosures and changes in the management of their estates and tenants. It gives an accounting interpretation of Marx's theory of rent and argues that the available evidence supports his view that the conversion of English landlords to capitalism underlay the later stages of the agricultural revolution. The conclusion explains the linkages in Marx's theory between the agricultural and industrial revolutions and calls on accounting historians to c...

The paper tests hypotheses regarding the relationship between husbands' pluriactivity and women's integration in the agricultural occupation in terms of feminization of agricultural decision-making and institutional feminization; and between farm size and women's integration in the agricultural occupation with a population of active women farmers in the province of Kastoria. The data do not support either of the two hypotheses, thus indicating that women's integration in the agricultural occupation can occur not only among smallholders but as well as among large farmers (and even more among the latter) and that husbands' full-time off-farm employment is not the sole determining factor for women's integration in the agricultural occupation. Furthermore, the combination of large farm size...

I'm more convinced than ever that this is the most attractive commodity group," says Donald Coxe, global portfolio strategist at BMO Financial Group in Chicago. "It's virtually independent of the economic risk if you think the U.S. is going into a recession and it's going to slow down the global economy.
"Interest has been fantastic," says Som Seif, CEO of Claymore Investments. "In about one month it's raised over $90 million in assets, so it's done very well."
* For the really ambitious, you could try your hand at buying farmland. [Donald Bousquet] says this offers the best way to take advantage of the rally outside of stocks. "Real-estate values have been escalating for farmland as a result of the rising value of grains," Bousquet says. He says more land is becoming available as man...

Before Frances Russell gets too effusive in her praise for the [Dion] carbon tax proposal, she needs to realize that these types of levies have questionable track records. Sweden introduced a carbon tax in 1991 and within six years needed to increase it by 50 per cent to keep it revenue-neutral, then raised it again last year. Ironically, that country generates half its electricity from nuclear plants and most of the rest from hydro, so was such a levy really necessary? Denmark's carbon tax, introduced in the mid-1990s, managed to reduce emissions by 10 per cent but at a cost of a 25 per cent drop in manufacturing employment. The reductions came at the expense of workers, not carbon producers.
