This study aimed at finding the production factors of traditional textiles of Ethnic Batak of Indonesia such as capital, labor and raw materials. Those factors have contributed to the production value of the Weaving Textiles Business.  This study focused on the traditional textiles of South Tapanuli in Indonesia which is so called “Ulos”. With the business factors analysis, the Correlational Research Design was conducted in the oldest manufacture of textiles Ulos, Paulina Manufacture.  Data analysis showed the most dominant factor influencing the production value of the Ulos Paulina Textile in Padang Sidimpuan  was a raw material because the partial test showed that the value of raw material contributes more (with a t-count of 3.262) compared to the capital variable (2,242 ) and labor (2,048).

Tradition, time and narrative : rethinking the Late Neolithic of the Maltese Islands

This paper reconsiders the Late Neolithic of the Maltese Islands from a broader perspective.

It is argued that a fuller understanding of the period requires an engagement with concepts of time and tradition, which are seen here on multiple scales. This enables a fuller reading of the period, particularly in terms of how people created and redefined time.peer-reviewe

The Keynesian Tradition: Introduction

These chapters highlight an important but neglected point: economics often provides profound insights into social interaction, but economists rarely delve into the subterranean world in which their culture, tools and prejudices are forged. Market forces produce results that surprise and confound social moralists; the hands by which economists correspond and argue have, hitherto, remained largely invisible. These chapters use published and archival evidence to illuminate the internal dynamics of the knowledge production (and destruction) processes of the economics industry. ISBN: 978140394960
