This book focuses on the impact of financial liberalisation and
globalisation on economic growth and inequality worldwide over the
past quarter century. It places a particular emphasis on the first
fourteen years of this century. It begins by exploring certain
assumptions developed as a result of early works in the field,
providing a critical review of some of the most important academic
works published over the past twenty years. It then goes on to
present a comparative measurement of the economic performance of
key countries for which data is available in the World Bank
database, including G-10 countries, EU countries, and fastest
growing countries like China, India, and small-open oil-producing
economies.
This book explores the key economic issues facing Southeastern
Europe and Bosnia and Herzegovina, within the context of the
serious challenges that the global economy has faced in recent
years. The book combines rigorous analysis of the issues faced by
the region with a constructive approach to identifying solutions
for a positive future trajectory. The book starts by exploring the
economic challenges facing the world economy both before and during
the global economic crisis. The second part of the volume focuses
on south-eastern Europe, and especially on the Western Balkans,
assessing the best ways of achieving a positive economic future for
small open economies in the region. The final part of the volume
examines the economic challenges in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The
final section examines the economic challenges in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, arguing that it is most useful to view the country
within the context of the regional and global economies. The book
will be extremely useful for scholars working on European
Economics, transition economics, and the global economy and the
financial crisis.
This book scrutinizes global financial flows and stocks, both
financial assets and liabilities and their impact on the global
balance of economic power, especially as they affect the largest
and fastest-growing countries in both the developed and the
developing world. It shows how financial flows can promote economic
growth and financial capital can serve as a tool for higher growth
rates in emerging market economies, but also that the huge amounts
of financial capital currently being spent in advanced countries to
promote economic growth has produced at best very modest
improvements and in some cases negative results. The book opens
with an analysis of global capital flows and their concentration.
It then offers an analysis of rates of relative economic growth (or
decline). The final section deals with the (decreasing) economic
efficiency of financial flows and the (un)sustainability of
economic growth, especially during the past eight years of economic
recovery. Tackling one of the most serious problems in the global
economy today, this book will be of interest to academics,
researchers, and students of capital markets, financial crisis, and
financial economics.

This book describes the international context and some of the
factors that have weakened the influence of Keynesian economic
thought. It illustrates economic responses offered by the new
Keynesian school and the alternative perspective on the global
crisis presented by the monetary circuit theory, with a special
emphasis on Minsky's financial instability hypothesis. The authors
present a commentary on Keynes's General Theory with an emphasis on
his theory of the scarcity of capital, his analysis of the change
in the structure of costs, and straightforward recommendation for a
policy marked by very low interest, which he felt was needed to
maintain full employment. Additionally, the book discusses major
changes in the cost structure of globally active companies,
resulting from the extremely intense international capital flows
over the last three decades. The authors point out the need to
redefine the open economy macroeconomics model, switching it from a
world consisting of two major developed open economies to one
consisting of two major open economies, one of which is developed
and the other is developing.
