Professor Abrahams edits a record of a 1913 conversation between reformer Louis Brandeis and Thomas W. Lamont of J. P. Morgan & Co. In the wake of the Pujo investigation of the “money trust,” the two discussed the nature and extent of economic power wielded by investment bankers as well as some specific issues such as interlocking directorates, competitive bidding for security issues, and greater publicity about securities transactions. This document reflects the long-run, fundamental conflict between social critics fearful of the concentration of economic power in America and businessmen who disclaim power because they believe their behavior is controlled by objective business considerations which operate for the good of society as a whole.

A situation of turbulent peace is defined as an ambiguous transition from direct violence (which ends by means a fragile and incomplete peace agreement among enemies) to an indirect and subtle violence euphemistically denominated as progress. Indeed, a big rate of economic growth implies growing prosperity, incremented consumption, and increasing investment in the present but, sadly, the consequence of this material progress will be the suffering of future generations because the exhaustion and deterioration of nature in a world where the entropy is worsened by the rapacity of actual generations. The depletion and contamination of natural resources is the inherent cost of material progress and development of “productive” forces. The ideological, coercive and economic power of some organized minorities, and the acquiescence of a big majority of human beings constitutes the root of this problem. The antidote against this power is the critical examination of values by active citizens and the guide of ethics. In the long run this problem can be solved promoting a nonviolent economy.

There are numerous web security dangers yet one of the significant web security issues is Phishing sites that focus on the human weaknesses instead of programming weaknesses. It tends to be depicted as the way toward acquiring the online clients to get their touchy data, for example, usernames and passwords. These days, phishing is one of the greatest regular web dangers as for the critical increase of the World Wide Web in volume over the long run. Phishing aggressors consistently utilize new (multi day) and complex procedures to beguile online clients. Thus, it is important that the counter phishing framework is ongoing and quick and furthermore influences from a shrewd phishing recognition arrangement. Here, we build up a very much established location framework which can adaptively coordinate with the changing climate and phishing sites. Our strategy is an on the web and highlight rich AI procedure to separate the phishing and real sites. Since the proposed approach removes various sorts of various highlights from URLs and pages source code, it is a totally customer side arrangement and doesn't need any assistance from the outsider. In this task, we offer a clever framework for finding phishing sites. The framework depends on an AI technique, explicitly managed learning. We have chosen the Logistic Regression strategy because of its great presentation in grouping. Our point is to acquire a better classifier by considering the attributes of phishing site and pick the better mix of them to prepare the grouped.
