Economics is a diverse science that incorporates all aspects of life. Economics has the ability to explain social, cultural, political and religious behaviours and attitudes of people in an economic context that aims at maximising their welfare. Therefore, economics is inseparable from all other sciences and arts specially those that explain human behaviour. Economic forces cannot explicitly explain how the world operates, instead culture, tradition and social settings are very strong forces that have to be incorporated for a comprehensive realistic analysis of the issue at hand.
William Blake and International Economics
Unappreciated in his life, William Blake is an artist who is perceived afterwards as Britain’s greatest revolutionary artist where his contributions have extended to influence and inspire others in vast areas of specialisation other than his local sphere of art and literature.
Blake's Prophetic Books combine poetry, vision, prophecy, and original thought. They include The Book of Thel (1789), The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (c.1790), The French Revolution (1791), America (1793), Europe (1794), The Book of Urizon (1794), The Book of Los (1795), Milton (1804-8), and Jerusalem (1804-20). These truly comprise a vision of the whole of human life, in which energy and imagination struggle with the forces of both physical and mental constraints. Blake uses love, anger, religion and philosophy to justify the political and economic inequities that he whereupon warns about the Industrial Revolution.

These factors include settlement of debit, credit obligation,immigrant remittances insurance and banking transaction, tourist expenditures the overall effect of these variables is found, in certain cases, to reverse the effects created by commodities alone as explained by the PP theory.
Another aspect that is pointed out by Pigou (The Foreign Exchange, 1992) is the choice of price indexes and how it varies greatly in the results. He added that Some indexes out a heavy weight on internationally traded commodities whereas other indexes weigh domestic and international commodities at their respective weight inside the country.
In spite of the drawbacks and criticisms directed to this theory, it still remains to be the first theory that attempts to approximate the equilibrium rate of exchange rate between countries.

The real exchange rate tells us the rate at which we can trade the goods of one country for goods from other countries. The real exchange rate some- times referred to as the terms of trade. To view the exchange rate relationship in real terms using the nominal exchange rate, can be taken samples h a goods produced in some countries, such as cars. Suppose the price of the car with 25,000 dollars, while the price of Japanese cars is 4,000,000 yen . To compare the prices of both cars , we have to transform them into a common currency. If one dollar worth of 80 yen , the price of cars Americans to 80 x 25,000, or 2,000,000 yen. By comparing the price of an American car (2,000,000 yen) and the price of Japanese cars (4,000,000 yen), it can be concluded that the price of the American car is half the price of Japanese cars . In other words, pad a price effect we can swap two American cars to get a Japanese car . Peng count can be written as

On November 28, 1757 in the large bustling town of London, England; James and Catherine Blake welcomed their son William Blake into the world (Paananen xix-xxi). A happy and powerfully imaginative child, William was one of five (Bedard 8-14). Contrary to what his linguistic talents may dictate he received no formal education, due to his parents’ intense religious beliefs and hesitations to branch beyond their sect, in regards to education (Bedard 8-14). William was however taught basic reading and writing skills by his mother (Bedard 8-14). At the age of ten he was enrolled in the Paris Drawing School where he learned the basics of drawing (Bedard 8-14). Many years later on August 18, 1782 he married Catherine Boucher, an uneducated maid (Bedard 8-14). Though a seemingly unlikely couple, they remained faithful to each other until William’s death on August 12, 1827 (Paananen xix-xxi). He was buried in an unmarked grave in Bunhill Fields with the rights of the Church of England (Paananen xix-xxi).
William Blake is a literature genius. Most of his work speaks volume to the readers. Blake’s poem “The Mental Traveller” features a conflict between a male and female that all readers can relate to because of the lessons learned as you read. The poet William Blake isn’t just known for just writing. He was also a well-known painter and a printmaker. Blake is considered a seminal figure in the history of poetry. His poems are from the Romantic age (The end of the 18th Century). He was born in Soho, London, Great Britain. He was the third of seven children. Even though Blake was such an inspiration as a writer he only went to school just enough to read and write. According to Bloom’s critical views on William Blake; one of Blake’s inspirations was the Bible because he believed and belonged to the Moravian Church.
The Romantic Era brought the time of William Blake, when his talent of artistry emerged with many unusual Renaissance of talents.William Blake was on 28 November, 1757 in London, Europe. He was an extraordinary child out of rest of his six siblings, in which two of them died in his early childhood.

William Blake, was born in 1757 and died in 1827, created the poems “The Lamb,” “The Tyger,” and Proverbs of Hell. Blake grew up in a poor environment. He studied to become an Engraver and a professional artist. His engraving took part in the Romanticism era. The Romanticism is a movement that developed during the 18th and early 19th century as a reaction against the Restoration and Enlightenment periods focuses on logic and reason. Blake’s poetry would focus on imagination. When Blake created his work, it gained very little attention. Blake’s artistic and poetic vision consists in his creations. Blake was against the Church of England because he thought the doctrines were being misused as a form of social control, it meant the people were taught to be passively obedient and accept oppression, poverty, and inequality. In Blake’s poems “The Lamb,” “The Tyger,” and Proverbs of Hell, he shows that good requires evil in order to exist through imagery animals and man.

Blake had an uncanny ability to use his work to illustrate the unpleasant and often painful realities around him. His poetry consistently embodies an attitude of revolt against the abuse of class and power that appears guided by a unique brand of spirituality. His spiritual beliefs reached outside the boundaries of religious elites loyal to the monarchy. “He was inspired by dissident religious ideas rooted in the thinking of the most radical opponents of the monarchy during the English Civil War “(E. P. Thompson). Concern with war and the blighting effects of the industrial revolution were displayed in much of his work.
The stability of currency values plays a significant role for economic and financial stability. It is not difficult to see the exchange rate fluctuations are widely regarded as damaging. As the movements of the exchange rate have significant and large effects on the trade balance, resource allocation, domestic prices, interest rate, national income and other key economic variables. Then can exchange rate movements be predicted by these fundamental economic variables?

In his work, Songs of Innocence and Experience: Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul, William Blake uses the aforementioned contrasting states of being to illustrate his unique view of the world around him. Through this work, Blake lays bare his soulful views of religion and ethics, daring the reader to continue on in their narcissistic attitudes and self-serving politics. While Blake's work had countless themes, some of the most prevalent were religious reform, social change, and morality. Philosophically, one would think that William Blake was a Deist; however Blake rejected the Deist view of life. He was a devout Christian, yet he also wanted nothing to do with the church or their teachings. These views give Blake a refreshingly sincere quality with regards to his art and writings. Blake frequently alluded to Biblical teachings in his work and, more often than not, used corresponding story lines to rail against the Church's views and accepted practices. One may say however, that Blake's universal appeal lies within his social commentary. Similar to a fable, Blake weaves a poetically mystical journey for the reader, usually culminating in a moral lesson. One such poem, "A Poison Tree," clearly illustrates some of William Blake's moral beliefs. With his use of imagery, as well as an instinctive knowledge of human nature, William Blake shows just how one goes from the light to the darkness (from innocence to experience) by the repression of emotions.
As the foundation for the foreign exchange process, exchange rates are one of the most important elements in business, both internationally and domestically. Defined as the rate at which one currency may be converted into another, exchange rates are used by countries in order to purchase products or services from one another. When examining these exchange rates it is important to note that their two distinct types of rates used for global trade: nominal and real.
