Both as a profession and as a science, economics lost considerable prestige during the recession of 1974-75. The crisis that sized the western industrialized countries, including Japan, was of a character not to be found in economics textbooks: rate of inflation exceeding 10% a year coupled with declining production, and high levels of unemployment. Hitherto, peacetime inflation had been associated with high employment and overactive economy, while high rates of unemployment went with the recession or depression. The next combination was aptly called stagflation.

"Political crime" differs from ordinary crime only in the motivation, real or claimed, of the criminal. A hold-up, a bank robbery, a burglary, drug running, kidnapping, or murder is no less a crime for being politically motivated. In this context, terrorism may be defined as "motivated violence for political ends"; this distinguishes terrorism both from vandalism and from crimes of violence in which no political motivation is discerned. Political crime is thus a wider term than terrorism, which is an extreme form of it. The relationship between the two is that between the whole and the part.
A)
terrorism rarely stems from political considerations. B)
a bank robbery cannot be politically motivated. C)
vandalism and political crime are one and the same thing. D)
there is no relationship between political crime and terrorism. E)
a crime is still a crime even though it may be politically motivated.

A)

itself, or we must forgo certain liberties which are very dear to us.

savings can be even greater. There is no reason to suppose that own brand ones inferior. They are commonly produced in the same place as the branded products. Often the difference is the packaging and the price.
