Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.David LeFevre Dodd (August 23, 1895 - September 18, 1988) was an American educator, financial analyst, author, economist, professional investor, and in his student years, a protégé of, and as a postgraduate, close colleague of Benjamin Graham at Columbia Business School. He attended the University of Pennsylvania. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 (Black Thursday) almost wiped out Graham, who had started teaching the year before at his alma mater, Columbia. The crash inspired Graham to search for a more conservative, safer way to invest. Graham agreed to teach with the stipulation that someone take notes. Dodd, then a young instructor at Columbia, volunteered. Those transcriptions served as the basis for a 1934 book Security Analysis, which galvanized the concept of value investing. It is the longest running investment text ever published.

Robert Boyd (Stenographer)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert Boyd (born April 10, 1870), of Russell, Ontario, Canada, was the inventor of a system of shorthand, Boyd's Syllabic Shorthand. The system was first published in 1903, with a later publication in 1912. Boyd's syllabic shorthand is a system of shorthand invented by Robert Boyd, published originally in 1903, and updated in 1912. In this system, symbols are distinguished both by orientation and shape, with the shape representing the vowel and the orientation the consonant. Thus, "ab" and "am" would be represented by the same shape of mark (in this case an L-shape), oriented differently; and "ab" and "eb" would be represented by differently shaped marks, oriented the same way.

Chinese Food Security Strategy

This book offers a groundbreaking analysis of the ancient Ever-Normal Granary system, illuminating its significance in both historical and modern economic discourse. This work systematically explores the theories and practices of buffer stocks within the contexts of Chinese and Western economic histories, creating a dialogue between ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges. What sets this book apart is its innovative framework, which evolves the concept of Ever-Normal Granary into a dynamic model of “Maintaining Balance through the Mean,” culminating in the formulation of the “Ever Normal Law.” This theoretical advancement highlights the “Spirit of the Middle Way” intrinsic to Chinese economic thought, revealing the unique insights that shape China’s economic strategies. Designed for scholars, researchers, and students in history, economics, and agricultural policy, as well as policymakers and those interested in food security, this book strikes a balance between academic rigor and accessibility.
