Ideas such as Freedom of the Press, THE Right to Information and
Lazziez Faire economy form the bedrock of liberal theory and
draw from various sources. All these were first proposed by the
Swedish-Finnish theorist X, who theorized a system of free market
economy in the pamphlet The National Gain published in 1765, 11
years before Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations came out in
1776.

The company X was founded by Charles Lewis X and Teddy Young
in 1837 as a “stationary and fancy goods emporium” but later
moved into the jewellery business and now operates 103
international stores. It produces among other things the Vince
Lombardi trophy, awarded to the team that wins the Super Bowl,
the U.S. Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration of the U.S,
government and once supplied swords to the U.S. army. It owes its
international fame most to a reference to its name in the title of a
1958 Truman Capote novella that was later turned into a film in
1961 starring George Peppard among others.

The company X was founded in 1870 with Y as the largest
shareholder and run through a series of trusts that allowed it to
circumvent anti monopoly legislation in the United States, so
much so that an anti trust act was passed in 1911 to not allow
such monopolies to exist leading to its dissolution. The companies
that formed as a result of this companies split include the present
day Chevron Texaco and Exxon Mobil. As a result of X’s success, Y
enjoyed a series of distinctions including being the first self made
dollar billionaire, the richest man in the world at the time, and
adjusted to inflation, the richest man in history.

X is an institutional building designed by English philosopher and
social theorist Y, more famous for his advocacy of the concept Z, in
the late eighteenth century. The concept of the design is to allow
an observer to observe all inmates of an institution without them
being able to tell whether or not they are being watched. The
character of Mr. Thomas Gradgrind in the Charles Dickens novel
Hard Times is potrayed as a believer in the philosophy of Z.

The X group is a multimillion dollar integrated steel producer with
revenues of about US$400 million. Founded in 1939 in Amritsar
by the Butt brothers, it is currently headquartered in Lahore.
Among its largest shareholders is a former Pakistani Prime
Minister who has held office 3 times in the 1990’s.

To prove that humans are not simply blindly reacting to situations
and every person has a strong desire to realize his or her full
potential, to reach a level of "self-actualization" but are in fact
trying to accomplish something greater, X studied mentally
healthy individuals like Abe Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson,
Beethoven, Albert Einstein and Eleanor Roosevelt rather than
mentally ill patients. This informed his theory that people
experience “peak experiences", high points in life when the
individual is in harmony with himself and his surroundings. X
called this theory Y and created a visual aid to supplement his
theory.
24. ●
The original idea comes from Cornell University professor of
Economics, X. It is also called competitive Sudoku and is played
between two people. The name Y comes from the Sanskrit word
meaning two and this is thus a two-player version of Sudoku. .

X managed a fund on behalf of King's College, Cambridge from
1928 to 1945, producing a strong average increase of 13.2% ,
compared to the general market in the UK which was then
declining by an average 0.5% per annum. He was also briefly
associated with the Bloomsbury Group owing to a shared interest
in the ideas of the philosopher G.E. Moore. Some of the lesser-
known achievements of a famous economist.
28. ●
While presenting the Nobel Prize in Economics to X, the
committee stated that “ X has done more than any other
contemporary economist to raise the level of scientific analysis in
economic theory." He is also known for applying the principles of
Classical Thermodynamics to modern economic theory and was
also part of the core team during the initial years of the Indian
Institute of Management, Calcutta. He is perhaps more known to
students of economics as the person who authored the largest
selling economics textbook of all time, Economics: An
Introductory Analysis.

The X problem was apparently introduced in 1949 by Merrill M.
Flood, who called it the Fiancee problem in a lecture he gave that
year. He referred to it several times during the 1950s, for example
in a conference talk at Purdue on 9 May 1958, and it eventually
became widely known in college folklore although nothing was
published at the time. X has many names and is one of the central
problems in optimal stopping theory. The first publication was
apparently by Martin Gardner and later by two other economists
who gave it the name “game of Googol”. X is also the name of a film
starring Maggie Gyllenhall.

X was an American hotelier born in San Antonio, New Mexico in
1887.Beginning his career in his father’s general store, he bought
his first hotel in 1919. By the time he died in 1979, he owned 188
hotels in the U.S. alone, including the iconic Waldorf Astoria in
New York, aside from several outside the U.S. He recorded his
exploits in the 1958 autobiography ‘Be My Guest’, that has since
become a staple in Business Schools. .

X is a Japanese word literally meaning ‘grouping’. It denotes a set
of companies with interlocking shareholdings. The logic that
follows is that the member companies own a small number of
shares in each other, thereby making takeover attempts difficult, if
not impossible. An X may be organised horizontally around a
bank, whereby the bank provides financial services to the member
companies; or vertically where all members in a product supply
chain are linked horizontally such that the lower the level of an
entity in the hierarchy, the greater the exposure to market risk.

Herodotus was born in Halicarnassus and was exiled by the ruling
king Lygdamis for disloyalty. He travelled widely and wrote the
book X which serves as a record of the ancient traditions, politics,

450-420 BCE. On account of the book X, Herodotus is also called
The Father of X

Plutarch in the Life of Caius Martius Coriolanus mentions the story
of Anytus of Athens, son of Anthemion who was accused of
treason at the battle of Peloponnesus by yielding the fort at Pyle.
History aside, this story is of particular interest to us today
because Plutarch goes on to tell us how Anytus of Athens
challenged the allegations against him in court. What did Anytus
of Athens, son of Anthemion do to clear his name of the charges
levelled against him?
50. ●
He bribed the judges. Plutarch cites this as the first instance of
bribery/corruption/graft.

In 1865, the English economist William Stanley X, in his book “The
Coal Question” observed that technological improvements that
increased the efficiency of coal-use led to the increased
consumption of coal in a wide range of industries. He argued that,
contrary to common intuition; technological improvements could
not be relied upon to reduce fuel consumption. It is sometimes
used to argue that energy conservation efforts are futile, i.e. more
efficient use of oil will lead to increased demand, and will not slow
the arrival or the effects of peak oil prices. This is known as the X
effect or the X paradox.

Originally one of the five biggest auditing firms in the world the
company X was founded in Chicago in 1913, came down from a
peak of 85000 employees in the beginning of the 21st century to
about 200 today, its only remaining asset being the Q conference
centre in Chicago, this was due to a failure of top management to
take sound decisions while auditing large companies and showing
significantly inflated profits. When this became public knowledge
in 2001 due to scandal leading to its exposure, a new term Y
linked to the scandal entered public parlance. Give me X and Y.

Founded in London in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis,
the brand X was registered in 1908 and trademarked in 1915. One
story about the origin of the name goes that it came from the
French phrase ‘hologerie exquise’, meaning horological
excellence.Another story about its origin says Wilsdorf considered
the name X onomatopoeic and short enough to fit on the products
face.Its most famous products are named after a mollusk that is
considered an aphrodisiac and are renowned for their great
accuracy. The brand X has also consistently been ranked among
the top 5 most valuable luxury brands.

Y.

upon the forgotten, the unorganized but the indispensable units of
economic power...that build from the bottom up and not from the
top down, that put their faith once more in the forgotten man at X”.
