Athabasca Potash shareholders approve BHP deal

Thu, Mar 18 2010

TORONTO, March 18 (Reuters) - Athabasca Potash <API.TO> said on Thursday that its shareholders had voted in favor of global mining giant BHP Billiton's <BHP.AX> <BLT.L> C$341 million ($338 million) cash takeover offer. In January, BHP offered to buy the potash exploration company for C$8.35 a share, in a bid to expand its asset base in the potash-rich Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The two companies expect the deal to close by March 23. Athabasca's Burr project in Saskatchewan is adjacent to BHP's own Jansen project, the junior potash player also owns a number of exploration properties in the vicinity.

ATLAS SHRUGGED.........

The morality of capitalism is a major theme in Atlas Shrugged, which for the first time in history offered a full defense of capitalism, not just as a practical system of economics, but as the only moral social system. This page offers more information on Ayn Rand’s unique vision of capitalism as presented in Atlas Shrugged.

• What is Capitalism?
  
  

  Capitalism is a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned.
  The recognition of individual rights entails the banishment of physical force from human relationships: basically, rights can be violated only by means of force. In a capitalist society, no man or group may initiate the use of physical force against others. The only function of the government, in such a society, is the task of protecting man’s rights, i.e., the task of protecting him from physical force; the government acts as the agent of man’s right of self-defense, and may use force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use; thus the government is the means of placing the retaliatory use of force under objective control.

  —Ayn Rand, “What Is Capitalism?” Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal
• Why Is Capitalism Moral?
  
  

  The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve “the common good.” It is true that capitalism does—if that catch-phrase has any meaning—but this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification of capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man’s rational nature, that it protects man’s survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is: justice.
