ISBN: 9780887309519 - building wealth: the new rules for individuals, companies, and nations in a knowledge based economy (14 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. As we stand on the brink of the new millennium, MIT economist Lester Thurow addresses the critical issue of wealth creation. The result is an essential road map for how individuals, companies, and nations can and must build wealth in a knowledge-based global economy. There is no doubt that we are in the middle of a transition to a knowledge-based economy; breakthrough technologies in microelectronics, biotechnology, new materials, telecommunications, robotics, and computers are fundamentally changing the game of creating wealth. Thanks to the impact of these technologies, new industries (software, gene therapy) are growing explosively and existing industries (banking, retail) are being transformed beyond recognition. Out of these transformations, a new global economy is emerging to replace existing national economies. Almost alone, the American economy seems to be enjoying a period of unprecedented growth. Is this growth sustainable? Is global integration a boon or a threat to this trend? Will the forces that sparked the Asian meltdown--a crisis that is meticulously evaluated in these pages--provoke a more persistent era of stagnation or worse? Should global integration be slowed? Can it be slowed? What lies ahead in the near future? What skills are needed to succeed in this new economy? What new rules must apply to the creation and protection of new ideas? How are environmental problems such as global warming going to affect wealth creation? How can marketable wealth be rising at ever-faster rates while productivity growth is slowing? How can nations create a social system in which the entrepreneurial spirit can flourish without also creating income and wealth inequalities that threaten the system? In the groundbreaking final chapters of Building Wealth, Professor Thurow turns his attention to the three current major economic sectors of the world: America, East Asia, and Europe. He provides a trenchant analysis of each as a significant competitor in the coming decades, and predicts the likely outcome of the complex forces that are presently shaping global society.…

Zustand: Fair. : En Building Wealth, el destacado economista del MIT Lester Thurow argumenta a favor de un cambio fundamental en la forma en que nosotros, como individuos, como empresas y como naciones, abordamos el gasto y el ahorro. Basándose en las conclusiones de su libro más reciente, The Future of Capitalism, Thurow muestra cómo nuestro énfasis actual en el gasto ha desplazado un énfasis en la inversión en conocimiento básico, educación e infraestructura. Estamos al borde del desastre si no alteramos nuestras actitudes hacia el gasto. Thurow escribe: "La historia nos enseña que las sociedades que no se centran en construir mueren rápidamente. En el pasado, gran parte de nuestra construcción ha sido comunal y en el futuro gran parte tendrá que ser comunal. Sin embargo, no existe una ideología actual que respalde esa realidad". En un lenguaje accesible, Thurow explica la ideología del constructor y su compromiso con la construcción de tipos comunales de riqueza. Es solo a través de un compromiso con la construcción de tipos comunales de riqueza, argumenta Thurow, que maximizaremos las oportunidades para construir riqueza financiera personal también.
