Abstract
The article discusses the relationship between the intellectuals John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville and Gustave de Beaumont. Among the topics discussed are the correspondence of these writers, their social networks, and their political philosophies. According to the article, all three were interested in studying Ireland. Mill even spoke before the British Parliament on May 17, 1866 to advocate for Irish farmers while the Irish Land Bill was being discussed. Other topics of discussion include De Beaumont's comments on American society and politics.
The author examines the background of the global economic crisis that began in 2007. The fact that the United States Federal Reserve Board increased the Federal funds rate beginning in 2007 is pointed to as a factor in the resulting subprime mortgage crisis. According to the article, securitization of higher risk mortgage loans, so-called subprime loans, were spread throughout the global securities marketplace. Solutions proposed by U.S. governmental authorities and those in European Union counties as ways to resolve this economic crisis are detailed.
