MBSR January 10, 2012. William Ewart Gladstone. Gladstone's first ministry saw many reforms including Disestablishment of the Church of Ireland and the introduction of secret voting. After his electoral defeat in 1874, Gladstone resigned as leader of the Liberal Party, but from 1876 began a comeback based on opposition to Turkey's Bulgarian atrocities. Gladstone's Midlothian Campaign of 1879–80 was an early example of many modern political campaigning techniques. After the 1880 election, he formed his second ministry, which saw crises in Egypt (culminating in the death of General Gordon in 1885), and in Ireland, where the government passed repressive measures but also improved the legal rights of Irish tenant farmers.
The government also passed the Third Reform Act. Back in office in early 1886, Gladstone proposed Irish home rule but this was defeated in the House of Commons in July. The resulting split in the Liberal Party helped keep them out of office, with one short break, for twenty years.

The Market Is Lying: Why We Must Tax Carbon, Not Subsidize It. Remarkably diverse groups across the US political spectrum are calling for a high and rising price on carbon as part of their deficit-reduction strategies. Extremely conservative to very liberal groups are finding common cause. This is a potentially momentous development that could spark the end of the political logjam in the US over energy and climate change policy. Agreeing to Disagree Scientific truth does not depend on what the majority chooses to believe - not today and not in 1633 when Galileo was convicted of heresy for saying that the earth revolves around the sun. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest, but the earth continued in its orbit. Let's face the facts: The earth is not flat.

Chapter 6 In 1830, John Marshall, then Chief Justice of the United States, decided that it was time, once and for all, to put Missouri out of the business of creating new kinds of money.
The case concerned a rather ingenious scheme that the state had dreamed up to meet its fiscal needs. MISSOURI LEADS THE WAY One hundred and thirty five years later, Missouri is at it again.

2 Social Enterprise Bills in California: Key Features of AB 361 and SB 201. If you have even skimmed the contents of this blog you likely know about AB 361, the California legislation that would create a new corporate form for social enterprise called a benefit corporation. You may not have heard of SB 201, however. It is a different bill that also proposes a new corporate form for social enterprise in California, called a flexible purpose corporation.
