Charles Hall
Charles Hall (1740–1825) wis a Breetish pheesician, social critic an Ricardian socialist who published The Effects of Civilization on the People in European States in 1805, condemnin caipitalism for its inability tae provide for the poor. In the beuk, Hall argued that inequalities in walth an the production o luxuries led tae the exploitation o the poor, an thair sufferin. Hall famously claimed that the exploitation o the poor wis sae severe that thay "retained anerlie the product o ane oor's wirk oot o aicht".
As a remedy for the problems in society, Hall proposed land reform an progressive taxation. His views an economic theory, pairticularly his views on severe exploitation o the poor, wur important tae the development o Marxism, an hae led mony tae consider him ane o the earliest socialists.
The Effects of Civilization
Efter witnessin heich fuid prices an fuid shortages in Ingland frae 1795–1801, Hall began tae write The Effects of Civilization on the People in European States which set fort his economic theories. Hall argued that the ruit cause o fuid shortage, wis that too few fowk wirkit in agricultur, while ower mony war employed in trade an manufacturing. Frae this argument, Hall proceedit tae his definition o walth, arguin that "wealth consists no in things but in pouer ower the labour o ithers".
The cause o shortages
Frae his definition o walth, Hall argued that the problem in ceevilized societies came frae the ability o the walthy, throu thair control o the labor o ithers, tae determine wha is producit. Acause the walthy quickly provide for thair awn necessities, thay spend thair surplus on luxuries, which "mak it possible for a rich man tae consume an destroy infinitely mair o the produce o ither men's labours than he wad be able tae dae if anerlie fuidstuffs an basic necessities wur available". Acause the rich exploit the poor tae produce thair luxuries, Hall argued that "the walth o the rich an the misery o the poor increase in strict proportion". Sicweys, the risin pouer o the rich is the cause o the sufferin o the poor.
Statistics
In addition tae developin a theoretical model in The Effects of Civilization, Hall attemptit tae uise scienteefic methods an govrenment statistics tae provide evidence for his view. Accordin tae his estimates, the tap 20% o society, the rich, consumit 7/8 o wha wis producit bi the poor, leavin the poor wi anerlie ane aicht o what thay haed producit. Later scholars, houiver, hae calculatit that the inequalities describit bi Hall war no quite sae severe.
Remedies
Efter describin the challenges facin society, Hall proposed several remedies. Hall wis a strang proponent o progressive taxation tae even oot the inequalities o society. He an aw argued that if marriages atween twa fowk who awned land wur prohibitit, then walth wad gradually spread mair evenly throughoot society. Maist importantly, on the basis o his argument that luxuries caused the sufferin o the poor, Hall argued that luxury guids "shoud be prohibitit, or subject tae punitive taxation". Hall believit that his remedies wur "readily practicable", an wad impruive the station o the poor, but wur unlikely tae solve the problems o society completely.
Legacy
Hall is widely regarded as a key tae the development o Marxist thocht, an Karl Marx referred tae him as "a true phenomenon in the history o economic thought". Hall wis an aw an important precursor tae Henry George, an ane o the first modren land reformers.
Mony scholars an aw identifee Hall as ane o "first o the early socialists", an ane o the first thinkers tae recognise the importance o surplus value an rents tae societal inequality.

R
R (named ar ) is the aichteent letter o the ISO basic Latin alphabet.
History
The oreeginal Semitic letter mey hae been inspired bi an Egyptian hieroglyph for tp, "head". It wis uised for bi Semites acause in thair leid, the wird for "heid" wis rêš (an aa the name o the letter). It developed intae Greek 'Ρ' ῥῶ (rhô) an Latin R. It is likely that some Etruscan an Wastren Greek fairms o the letter addit the extra stroke tae distinguish it frae a later fairm o the letter P.
The name o the letter in Latin wis er, follaein the pattern o ither letters representin continuants, sic as F, L, M, N, an S. This name is preserved in French an mony ither leids. In Middlin Inglis, the name o the letter chynged frae tae, follaein a pattern exhibitit in mony ither wirds sic as farm (compare French ferme), an star (compare German Stern).
The minuscule (lowercase) fairm as 'r' developed throu several variations on the caipital fairm. In haundwritin it wis common nae tae close the bottom o the luip but continue intae the leg, savin an extra pen stroke. The luip-leg stroke shortened intae the semple arc uised the day. Anither minuscule, r rotunda (ꝛ), kept the luip-leg stroke but dropped the vertical stroke, altho it fell oot o uise aroond the 18t century.
Uisage
In science, the letter R is a seembol for the gas constant. Mathematicians uise 'R' or \mathbb{R} (an R in blackboard bold, displayed as in Unicode) for the set o aw real nummers.
R represents a rhotic consonant in mony leids, as shawn in the table ablo. The Internaitional Phonetic Alphabet uises several variations o the letter tae represent the different rhotic consonants; represents the alveolar trill.
Ither leids mey uise the letter 'r' in thair alphabets (or Latin transleeterations schemes) tae represent rhotic consonants different frae the alveolar trill. In Haitian Creole, it represents a soond sae weak that it is eften written interchyngeably wi 'w', e.g. 'Kweyol' for 'Kreyol'.
Brazilian Portuguese haes a great nummer o allophones o sic as, , , , ,  an , the latter three anes can be uised anly in certaint contexts ( an  as 'rr';  in the syllable coda, as an allophone o  accordin tae the European Portuguese norm an  accordin tae the Brazilian Portuguese norm). Uisually at least twa o them are present in a single dialect, sic as Rio de Janeiro's, , an, for a few speakers,.
Banner o Indie
The Naitional Banner o Indie is a horizontal rectangular tricolour o deep saffron, white an Indie green; wi the Ashoka Chakra, a 24-spoke wheel, in blue at its centre. It wis adoptit in its present form durin a meetin o the Constituent Assembly held on 22 Julie 1947, when it became the offeecial banner o the Dominion o Indie. The banner wis subsequently retained as that o the Republic o Indie. In Indie, the term "tricolour" (तिरंगा, Tirangā) amaist aaways refers tae the Indian naitional banner. The banner is based on the Swaraj banner, a banner o the Indian Naitional Congress designed bi Pingali Venkayya.
The banner, bi law, is tae be made o khadi, a special teep o haund-spun cloth o cotton or silk made popular bi Mahatma Gandhi. The manufacturin process an specifications for the banner are laid oot bi the Bureau o Indian Staundarts. The richt tae manufacture the banner is held bi the Khadi Development and Village Industries Commission, who allocate it tae the regional groups. As o 2009, the Karnataka Khadi Gramodyoga Samyukta Sangha wis the sole manufacturer o the banner.
Uisage o the banner is govrened bi the Banner Code o Indie an ither laws relatin tae the naitional emblems. The oreeginal code prohibitit uise o the banner bi private ceetizens except on naitional days such as the Unthirldom day an the Republic Day. In 2002, on hearin an appeal frae a private ceetizen, the Supreme Court o Indie directit the Govrenment o Indie tae amend the code tae allou banner uisage bi private ceetizens. Subsequently, the Union Cabinet o Indie amendit the code tae allou leemitit uisage. The code wis amendit ance mair in 2005 tae allou some additional uise includin adaptations on certain forms o clothin. The banner code an aa govrens the protocol o flyin the banner an its uise in conjunction wi ither naitional an non-naitional flas.
Design an seembolism
Gandhi first proposed a banner tae the Indian Naitional Congress in 1921. The banner wis designed bi Pingali Venkayya, an agriculturist frae Machilipatnam. The oreeginal design Gandhi wis presentit wi includit twa colours, red for the Hindus, an green for the Muslims. In the centre wis a traditional spinnin wheel, seembolisin Gandhi's goal o makin Indians sel-reliant bi fabricatin thair awn clothin. The design wis then modified tae include a white stripe in the centre for ither releegious communities, an provide a backgrund for the spinnin wheel. Subsequently, tae avoid sectarian associations wi the colour scheme, saffron, white an green wur chosen for the three baunds, representin courage an sacrifice, peace an truth, an faith and chivalry respectively.
A few days afore Indie became independent on August 1947, the specially constitutit Constituent Assembly decidit that the banner o Indie must be acceptable tae aw pairties an communities. A modified version o the Swaraj flag wis chosen; the tricolour remained the same saffron, white an green. Housomeivver, the charkha wis replaced bi the Ashoka Chakra representin the eternal wheel o law. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who later became Indie's first Vice Preses, clarified the adoptit banner an describit its significance as follaes:
Bhagwa or the saffron colour denotes renunciation o disinterestedness. Oor leaders must be indifferent tae material gains an dedicate thaisels tae their wirk. The white in the centre is licht, the path o truth tae guide oor conduct. The green shows oor relation tae (the) soil, oor relation tae the plant life here, on which aw ither life depends. The "Ashoka Chakra" in the centre o the white is the wheel o the law o dharma. Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought tae be the controllin principle o those who wirk unner this banner. Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is daith in stagnation. There is life in movement. Indie shoud nae mair resist chynge, it must move an go forward. The wheel represents the dynamism o a peaceful chynge.
