Providing an up-to-date account of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)
with contributions from the world's leading experts, each chapter
offers new insights on the topic, building upon MMT's established
body of work. This innovative book analyses key economic issues
from a wide set of regions including the UK, Europe and the Global
South, addressing previous concerns that MMT is too US-focused.
Alongside ground-breaking research written by MMT's original
developers and leading academics, the book also includes
contributions from economic historians and public policy
campaigners, highlighting how MMT contributes to challenging
neoliberalism and the hegemony of mainstream macroeconomics.
Offering an examination of the existing legal, institutional and
policy framework which governs the UK Exchequer in particular, it
examines how the central claims of MMT map onto the financial
activities of the UK government. This will be key reading for
undergraduate and postgraduate economics students, as well as more
advanced scholars of the discipline, particularly for those looking
into theories of finance, money and banking. It will also have a
wider appeal across the social sciences, including politics and
sociology students.
Contamination of water supplies, whether by chemical, biological or
radioactive agents, requires a rapid and effective response in
order to reduce or avoid impact on the environment or consumers.
Using seven major incident case studies (including the Milwaukee
Cryptosporidium incident, Chernobyl and the UK Foot and Mouth
outbreak), Water Contamination Emergencies: Can We Cope? looks at
the complete handling of emergency incidents relating to water
contamination emergencies. With contributions from experts involved
in real life international incidents, the book also looks at:
monitoring requirements; trying to prove the absence of
contamination; novel approaches to screening analysis; health
risks; the importance of efficient communication; the perception of
the public; and the international height of alert situation with
respect to potential terrorist acts. Anyone involved in water
contamination emergencies, whether researchers and professionals in
the water or health industries, or government agencies, should
welcome this title as a review of lessons learnt in the past and as
an identification of ways in which to improve response in the
future.
