Governing prosperity (20 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. How do political institutions help promote prosperity in some countries and poverty in others? What can be done to encourage leaders to govern not for patronage but for economic growth? In this book, such distinguished political economists as Douglass North, Robert Barro, and Stephen Haber answer these questions, providing a solution to one of the most important policy puzzles of the new century: how to govern for prosperity. The authors begin from a premise that political leaders are self-interested politicians rather than benign agents of the people they lead. When leaders depend on only a few backers to stay in power, they dole out privileges to those people, thereby dissipating their country's total resources and national growth potential. On the other hand, leaders who need large coalitions to stay in office implement policies that generally foster growth and political competition over ideas. The result is that those who promote policies that lead to stagnation tend to stay in office for a long time, and those who produce prosperity tend to lose their jobs. Analyzing countries in North and South America and Asia, the authors discuss the range of political regimes that permit or even encourage leaders to rule by mismanaging their nation's resources. And they show that nations must forge institutions that allow all social groups to participate in and benefit from the economy as well as force political leaders to be responsible for policy outcomes.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Are you worried about the future of your child What is the explanation for the swelling crack or the gap in our social structure; or the gap between the enormous potential your child, business or country has as compared to what many are reduced to How do we bridge the gap between the rich few and the masses What is the secret How do we address the gap between what Mother Earth is today and what she will be tomorrow Can we address the gap between what schools teach today, and what they should actually be teaching-the critical gap from which all other gaps spring-gaps about which Einstein lamented saying: 'Schools failed me,' gaps which made Bill Gates drop out of Harvard; gaps which led Steve Jobs to instead choose to be self-trained, etcetera Why does one team lift the trophy, as another sits at the bottom of the table even when they are given same-same resources Give a million dollar to two graduates of economics or finance: one turns it around as, like water, a million dollar drifts through the fingers of another fellow with astonishing rapidity! Why Equally, entrust your child, business or country to two graduates of management: one may lift that child, business or country to new heights as another will screw it up. Why It's not the physical resources available to your child, business or country that determine one's prospects per se, as in so many ways DR. Congo, Nigeria or even Tanzania on one hand, and countries like Singapore, Dubai or Rwanda and Botswana, let alone Switzerland and Japan, illustrate. That's why instead, schools must focus on identifying, and bringing to life, the enormous hidden potential-physical, mental, emotional or spiritual potential-available to your child or employee, against the proportion so pitifully small she habitually puts to use! Educators must help your child or employee establish the bottom line, push the boundaries, extend the limits and close the gap-the gap our curriculum has helped create but failed to address. This, Sir, Madam, is the difference we bring: the difference your child, business and country have been innately weeping for.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Silver and China: An Investigation of the Monetary Principles Governing China's Trade and Prosperity' is a scholarly examination of the complex financial systems that defined China's economic landscape during the early 20th century. Written by Alfred W. Pinnick, this work delves into the intricate relationship between the silver standard and China's international trade relations, providing a rigorous analysis of how monetary fluctuations impacted national prosperity.The text explores the unique challenges faced by the Chinese economy in a global market dominated by the gold standard, offering insights into the domestic and foreign factors influencing currency value. Pinnick investigates the historical development of Chinese fiscal policy, the role of foreign banks, and the broader implications of silver-based commerce on industrial growth and agricultural stability. Through a combination of statistical data and economic theory, the author sheds light on the mechanisms of trade finance and the pursuit of economic stability within a rapidly changing geopolitical environment.'Silver and China' serves as a vital resource for readers interested in economic history, monetary theory, and Asian studies. It remains a significant contribution to the understanding of global finance, illustrating the profound influence of currency systems on the trajectory of modern China's development.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The 1950s' undeniable prosperity has become synonymous with conservatism, and inertia seen as its hallmark. This book offers a fresh and challenging interpretation of the 1950s in Australia. Nicholas Brown presents the decade as a time of great change, brought about by affluence. Society became increasingly complex, mass consumption reached new heights and Australia's role in the world and the region was re-cast. The book looks at the ways in which those overseeing society responded to these post-war changes; in short, how they governed prosperity. A history of ideas as well as cultural, intellectual and institutional history, Governing Prosperity is a major reassessment of the 1950s. It will be particularly important for its analysis of the significance of the decade in the development of Australian society.…
