- Introduction:

The feudal system of land tenure was introduced in Ireland by Normans. In this regard, the feudal system primarily worked on the principle that the ownership of all land eventually lied with the crown. This principle was base on the presumption that private bodies could not directly own land. The feudal system of tenancy completely disregarded and did not recognize the modern relationship between the landlord and tenants. To this end, grants of land over a period of years were regarded as creating personal contracts only. Nevertheless, it did contain certain characteristics of modern landlord-tenant relationship. The land ownership structure ...

Introduction

The relationship between tenants and their landlords should be harmonious and mutual. This calls for respect and understanding from either side (Luba, & Forster, 2009). However, governments have introduced laws and regulations that govern the relationship between landlords and their tenants.

There have been cases, where many landlords violate these regulations i.e. failing to make certain repairs or charging exorbitant rental prices on their tenants (Luba, & Forster, 2009).

Introduction

Monetary theory focuses on the functions, uses and management of money. The approaches to money go back as far as Plato and Aristotle. Aristotle focused primarily on money as a medium of exchange but later stated that money needed to be something with intrinsic value. He suggested that money should be something metallic and rare. As a result, Aristotle may be classified as a “metallist.” Plato’s conceptions of money differed from Aristotle’s because he introduced a credit component in the monetary theory. Schumpeter, a monetary historian, classifies Plato as a “Cartalist.” Karl Marx had strong conceptions on theories of money. He considered his theory ...
