The Macroeconomics of Finance-Dominated Capitalism - and its Crisis (Paperback): Eckhard Hein The Macroeconomics of Finance-Dominated Capitalism - and its Crisis (Paperback)
Eckhard Hein
R1,056 Discovery Miles 10 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In this timely and thought-provoking book, Eckhard Hein illustrates that the Great Recession, which hit the world economy in 2008/09, is rooted in the contradictions of finance-dominated capitalism. The author provides an in-depth exploration of the macroeconomics of finance-dominated capitalism, its problems and its crisis, and presents economic policy lessons and alternatives. In particular, he shows that since the early 1980s, finance-dominated capitalism has affected long-run economic developments via three distinct channels: - the re-distribution of income at the expense of low labor incomes, - the dampening of investment in real capital stock, - and an increasing potential for wealth-based and debt-financed consumption. The author concludes that against the background of these basic macroeconomic tendencies, increasing instability potentials at the national economy levels and rising current account imbalances at both global and European levels have developed and have contributed to the severity of the Great Recession. This systematic study of finance-dominated capitalism presented from a macroeconomic perspective will prove a thought-provoking read for academics, researchers, graduate students and economic policy consultants with an interest in macroeconomics, financial economics, economic policies, and distribution and growth.

Financial Instability and Economic Security after the Great Recession (Paperback): Charles J. Whalen Financial Instability and Economic Security after the Great Recession (Paperback)
Charles J. Whalen
R1,056 Discovery Miles 10 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

'A failing orthodoxy calls out for powerful alternatives. Neoclassical economics is that failed orthodoxy; Whalen and his contributors are the critical alternative. In this finely orchestrated edited volume, the contributors take turns wielding a sledgehammer to demolish the weakened edifice of neoclassical theory. Then, each adds a brick to a new theoretical foundation as they work together to expand upon the Post-Keynesian Institutionalist approach, especially the ideas laid down by Hyman Minsky. Their critique is clear and the alternative theory and policies they present are critical for anyone trying to understand the nature and operation of market-based economies.' - Dorene Isenberg, University of Redlands 'A convergence of Post Keynesian and Institutional economics, which have much in common, offers a sound and practical way forward after the Great Recession. By drawing inspiration from Hyman Minsky and tracing similarities in the economics of Veblen, Commons and Keynes, this book pursues such a convergence in an original and thought-provoking manner. The result is a new way of thinking about economics, one based on serious economic theory and rooted firmly in economic reality.' - Philip Arestis, University of Cambridge, UK This timely book rethinks economic theory and policy by addressing the problem of economic instability and the need to secure broadly shared prosperity. It stresses that advancing economics in the wake of the Great Recession requires an evolutionary standpoint, greater attention to uncertainty and expectations, and the integration of finance into macroeconomics. The result is a broader array of policy options - and challenges - than conventional economics presents. Building on the pioneering work of Thorstein Veblen, John R. Commons and John Maynard Keynes, the authors synthesize key insights from Institutional and Post Keynesian economics into Post-Keynesian Institutionalism. Then they use that framework to explore an array of economic problems confronting the United States and the world. Inspired by the work of Hyman Minsky, the authors place financial relations at the center of their analysis of how economies operate and change over time. Students and scholars of macroeconomics and public policy will find this book of interest, as will a wider audience of financial analysts, policy makers and citizens interested in understanding economic booms and downturns.

Skin in the Game - Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life (Paperback): Nassim Nicholas Taleb Skin in the Game - Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life (Paperback)
Nassim Nicholas Taleb 1
R265 R212 Discovery Miles 2 120 Save R53 (20%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

From the bestselling author of The Black Swan, a bold book that challenges many of our long-held beliefs about risk and reward, politics and religion, finance and personal responsibility Why should we never listen to people who explain rather than do? Why do companies go bust? How is it that we have more slaves today than in Roman times? Why does imposing democracy on other countries never work? The answer: too many people running the world don't have skin in the game. In his inimitable, pugnacious style, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows that skin in the game applies to all aspects of our lives. It's about having something to lose and taking a risk. Citizens, lab experimenters, artisans, political activists and hedge fund traders all have skin in the game. Policy wonks, corporate executives, theoreticians, bankers and most journalists don't. As Taleb says, "The symmetry of skin in the game is a simple rule that's necessary for fairness and justice, and the ultimate BS-buster," and "Never trust anyone who doesn't have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them".

Monetary Policy Frameworks in a Global Context (Hardcover): Lavan Mahadeva, Gabriel Sterne Monetary Policy Frameworks in a Global Context (Hardcover)
Lavan Mahadeva, Gabriel Sterne
R1,843 Discovery Miles 18 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The analysis of any monetary policy framework necessarily extends beyond the confinements of the central bank. A country's monetary framework can depend on many factors such as: its form of government; its legal system; the level of expertise in monetary policy matters that exists inside and outside the central bank; the country's financial institutions; as well as wider characteristics including the political system and level of literacy. This broad ranging collection focuses on the monetary policy frameworks used by central banks and governments in their attempt to achieve their various goals, of which price stability has become increasingly unpopular. It assesses the links between targets and central bank independence, accountability and the transparency of monetary policy. Based on data collected through a questionnaire completed by over 70 central banks in industrialized, transitional and developing economies, the analysis shows how the detailed characteristics of a monetary framework depend upon: structural differences; varying degrees of indexation and other nominal rigidities that affect the speed of transmission from monetary policy to inflation; and institutional arrangem

Making Economics Public - The Hows and Whys of Communicating Markets and Models (Hardcover): Vicki Macknight, Fabien Medvecky Making Economics Public - The Hows and Whys of Communicating Markets and Models (Hardcover)

R3,744 Discovery Miles 37 440 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Economics – macro, micro and mysterious – is integral to everyday life. But despite its importance for personal and collective decision making, it is a discipline often viewed as technical, arcane and inaccessible and thus overlooked in public discourse. This book is a call to arms to bring the discipline of economics more into the public domain. It calls on economists to think about how to make their knowledge of the economics public. And it calls on those who specialise in communicating expert knowledge to help us learn to communicate about economics. The book brings together scholars and practitioners working at the early stages of an emerging field: the public communication of, and public engagement with, economics. Through a series of short essays from academics and practitioners, the book has two key goals: first and foremost, it will make a case for why we need to make economics public and for the importance of having a clear vision of what it means to make economics public. Secondly, it suggests some ways that this can be done featuring contributions from practitioners, including economists, who are engaging audiences in newspapers, museums and beyond. This book is essential reading for those in economics with an interest in making economics public and those already in the many fields dedicated to communicating expert knowledge in public spaces who have an interest in where economics can fit.

Foreign Direct Investments in Selected Emerging Asian Economies - An Evaluation of Pandemic and Policy Shocks (Hardcover): Paul... Foreign Direct Investments in Selected Emerging Asian Economies - An Evaluation of Pandemic and Policy Shocks (Hardcover)
Paul Cheung, Ammu GEORGE, Xuyao Zhang
R3,746 Discovery Miles 37 460 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Foreign direct investments (FDI) play an integral role in the growth story of Emerging Asian economies. As an essential source of foreign capital, FDI bolsters the path to economic recovery from recessions, including the recent one caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This book is a collection of essays investigating the reconfiguration of FDI flows to the Emerging Asian economies of ASEAN, China and India following the pandemic and recent FDI policy reforms. This book broadly covers the trends in greenfield FDI flows to Emerging Asia in the context of three pertinent themes. Part one explores the rebalancing effects in global FDI flows after the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the experience of Emerging Asian economies. We also evaluate the nature of the pandemic's impact on existing FDI linkages between China and ASEAN. Part two delves into the implications of a cross-border policy framework such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In particular, we examine ASEAN trade activity after China's investments through BRI. We further discuss the future of BRI in ASEAN economies amidst the emergence of global competitors. Part three of the book zooms in on the effectiveness of domestic FDI policy reforms. We discuss the cases of Indonesia Special Economic Zones and the Make in India initiative. This book is written for scholars, policymakers, and industrial practitioners who wish to track more on the recent FDI dynamics of Emerging Asia.

Neil Harris
R1,495 Discovery Miles 14 950 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

'Business Economics: Theory and Application' is an undaunting and accessible text that focuses on the real world of business and how this relates to economics.
The links to business are far more intrinsic that in other business economics textbooks where a business "flavour" is simply added to traditional economics theory. It provides an in-depth jargon-free analysis, particularly relevant for one semester courses. A variety of case studies and questions are used throughout the text both to illustrate key points and for seminar and assignment work. Diagrams are included to aid the explanation of complex issues, and review and discussion questions are incorporated to consolidate and expand on the learning. A lecturer's supplement accompanies the text.
Accessible and undaunting approach for students with very little prior knowledge of the subject
Includes economic theory which is used to explore and analyse business issues and application of this theory through international case studies
Demonstrates the links between economics, strategy and marketing

This six volume set includes "The Supply and Control of Money in the USA - Lauchlin B. Currie", "Banking Policy and the Price Level and Money - Dennis H. Robertson", "The Problem of Unemployment - P.H. Douglas and A. Director", "The Art of Central Banking - R.A. Hawtrey", and "Balanced Deflation, Inflation, or More Depression - J. Viner". During a long, varied, influential and productive career as a macroeconomic policy advisor, Lauchlin B. Currie developed and applied theoretical insights and new data sources to improve national well-being. From 1934 to 1945, Currie advised the New Deal on monetary and fiscal policies for recovery, full employment, maximum production for war and price stability. He sought public policies that would allow competitive markets to yield high saving and investment required for productivity and stable growth. Dennis H. Robertson studied economics at Cambridge, and in 1914 was elected to Fellow of Trinity College, followed by Reader in the University of Cambridge. In 1938 he left to become a Professor in the University of London, but during his time in that post he was seconded to the Treasury on war-related work. Elected in 1944 to succeed Pigou in the
