y = sin (.5x). The coefficient b in the above graph is 2, so the period of the sine curve changed by a factor of 1/2, making the new period Ï, or about 3.14. y = sin (.5x). For the above graph, the coefficient b = 1/2, so the period of the sine curve will be twice as long as it usually is, or 4 Ï. y = sin (3x).
The term silent revolution refers here to a shift in the prevailing paradigm for international economic and political relations, away from tendencies toward autarky, insularity, mercantilism, and governmental planning and control over economic activity; and toward a common set of beliefs and policies based on open international trade and finance, competitive pricing and production decisions, and cooperation between countries.
To a great extent, the silent revolution of the 1980s resulted from a shift in economic philosophy toward a new classical synthesis in which government has an indirect role in, but not a direct responsibility for, ensuring national economic prosperity; in which private economic activity is promoted through good governance and the development of physical and social infrastructure. 4. That shift was not born in the 1980s; in some aspects and in some countries, such trends had long been apparent.
