TL;DR: Arestis as mentioned in this paper provides a coherent critique of the neo-classical synthesis together with a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the Post-Keynesian alternatives, showing that money pricing capital accumulation, growth and distribution are linked very closely together.
Abstract: This major book provides a coherent critique of the neo-classical synthesis together with a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the Post-Keynesian alternatives. Professor Arestis demonstrates that Post-Keynesian economics offers a challenge to conventional neo-classsical economics. He argues that although Post-Keynesianism is not problem-free, it neverless offers a more satisfactory explanation of "real" phenomena. The Post-Keynesian Approach to Economics reveals the microfoundations of post-Keynesian economics and describes how these theoretical propositions link up with the macrofoundations. In doing so, it demonstrates that money pricing capital accumulation, growth and distribution are linked very closely together. The economic policy implications are discussed extensively.

TL;DR: The managerial challenges posed by employees using these amenities for job search, shopping sprees, personal relationships, in a word, general goofing off, have long ago already been overcome by employers.
Abstract: Often, new technology brings in its train unprecedented problems. As far as computers, e-mail and the internet are concerned, this certainly holds true in many arenas. But there is one aspect of this new technology which does not present additional difficulties: cyber-slacking. The managerial challenges posed by employees using these amenities for job search, shopping sprees, personal relationships, in a word, general goofing off, have long ago already been overcome by employers. There is 'nothing new under the sun' in at least this one dimension of the computer age.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the possibilities of making fairly complex multi-variable demand forecasts for life insurance sold by utilizing readily available published data, plus an existing computer program available to everyone.
Abstract: This paper explores the possibilities of making fairly complex multi-variable demand forecasts for life insurance sold by utilizing readily available published data, plus an existing computer program available to everyone. The thinking behind this experiment was that if a good demand forecast could be made in this manner, insurance companies could have a cheap, quick, yet sophisticated method of estimating demand in advance. This estimate could be used to check more complicated demand forecasts made at greater cost. The demand forecast presented in the paper used as dependent variables the relative price of life insurance; number of marriages; number of births; personal income; population; and employment. These variables, when used with the U.C.L.A. Biomedical 03RMultiple Regression with Case Combinations program, proved able to forecast insurance demand with reasonable accuracy in most cases. The authors experimented with various combinations of these and other variables, but this set proved the most accurate forecaster. All of the dependent variables are widely available and estimated for the near future by many competent forecasters. Much time was consumed preparing this forecast, but once it was set up, it proved to be very easy to utilize. It is estimated that less than one man day of skilled work would be required to make this estimate annually. Executives can judge whether or not such estimates would be worthwhile for their companies. The more accurate demand predictions for any firm or industry may be, the easier it becomes to manage the firm efficiently. Thus if an insurance company could predict sales for next year accurately, it would be in a position to control costs more precisely and to manage its investment accounts more carefully. Knowing that sales might rise by $33.7 million (plus George Mantis, M.B.A., is Chief, Data Control, U.S. Army Data Support Command.

Until quite recently demand forecasting for major industries has been quite difficult. The major problem has always been that the number of factors which influence future demand are so large as to require extremely complex statistical manipulation techniques, and few firms had either the skilled manpower or the data necessary to do adequate forecasting. Although pioneering efforts in econometric analysis of demand go back to the 1930's, few firms or industries have advanced very far in this area.' There has been much recent work in econometric theory of demand, although to date many l Joel Dean, Managerial Economics (New York, New York: Prentice-Hall Inc., 1951), pp. 164172, 218-219.
