Originally published in 1960, this book examines how inflation as a policy has come about in modern democracies, how ti works, how to avoid it and at what cost. In non-technical terms it explains what inflation does, both to society and its individual elements, to weaken and hamper democracy. Including examples from the UK, Germany, France, Scandinavia, the USA and the former Soviet Union this volume examines inflation at work in widely differing communities since Roman Times to the late twentieth century.

First published in 1953, We Too Can Prosper is the outcome of a unique collaboration between Mr. Graham Hutton, the author, Mr. Geoffrey Crowther, his friend and fellow economist, and a panel of experts nominated by the employers' organisations and trade unions represented on the British Productivity Council. The Council invited the author and Mr. Crowther, as independent economists, to bring together the experience of the 66 Productivity Teams which visited America since 1949 and combine it with their own expert knowledge of economic conditions on both sides of the Atlantic, to throw light on Britain's industrial future. The book covers an enormous range of subjects: from education to mechanisation, from consumers' habits to advertising, and from the rate of installing capital equipment to the roles of government, competition and 'bigness in business.' Painstakingly, simply and logically, the book shows that if the British people want to overcome recurrent economic crises and raise their standards of life, they can do so quickly, provided they organise to do so. This book will be of interest to students of economics, economic history and development.

Haskell is a purely functional language that allows programmers to rapidly develop clear, concise, and correct software. The language has grown in popularity in recent years, both in teaching and in industry. This book is based on the author's experience of teaching Haskell for more than twenty years. All concepts are explained from first principles and no programming experience is required, making this book accessible to a broad spectrum of readers. While Part I focuses on basic concepts, Part II introduces the reader to more advanced topics. This new edition has been extensively updated and expanded to include recent and more advanced features of Haskell, new examples and exercises, selected solutions, and freely downloadable lecture slides and example code. The presentation is clean and simple, while also being fully compliant with the latest version of the language, including recent changes concerning applicative, monadic, foldable, and traversable types.

The Third Glasgow Workshop on Functional Programming was held in Ullapool, Scotland, 13-15th August 1990. Members of the functional programming groups at Glasgow and Stirling University attended the workshop together with a small number of invited participants from other universities and industry. The workshop was organised by Kei Davis, Jak Deschner, Kevin Hammond, Carsten Kehler Holst, John Hughes, Graham Hutton, and John Launchbury, all from Glasgow University. We are very grateful for the support of our industrial sponsors: British Telecom, Hewlett Packard, ICL and Software AG. Their financial help made the workshop possible. Thanks to Samson Abramsky, Tony Field, and Paul Kelly, all from Imperial College, for their help in refereeing many of the papers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Mathematics of Program Construction, MPC 2019, held in Porto, Portugal, in October 2019. The 15 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. The papers deal with mathematical principles and techniques for constructing computer programs. They range from algorithmics to support for program construction in programming languages and systems. Some typical areas are type systems, program analysis and transformation, programming-language semantics, security, and program logics.

This is a new release of the original 1937 edition.

George has been born into a family situation that brings him great advantages - and daunting responsibilities. One day he will become Lord Earlswood, inheriting not just his father's title but also the manor house and estate in Essex. Before then he expects to take his place at the head of the family business. Though he is full of ideas for the company, he faces fierce opposition from his Uncle Cecil, whose hostility is as ferocious as it is inexplicable. Then there is the pressure on George to find a suitable lady of the manor and eventually provide an heir. Will he overcome his shyness with the opposite sex? And if he does, will he be able to make a wise choice between the many young women who have designs on him, for a variety of motives? And will he be able to balance romantic entanglements with proper, professional relationships with his female colleagues? This, the first volume in Graham Hutton's Gloworm trilogy, is both a biography of a young aristocrat's progress to maturity and the chronicle of a developing company in the turbulent economic and political environment of 1970s Britain. Strikes, collapsing governments and the threat of the IRA form a background to the very personal events that shape George's life. The upheavals of industry and commerce combine with romance and tragedy to provide a convincing portrait of a remarkable young man in extraordinary circumstances.

Written in the eve of WWII by the famous British economist, this is a brilliant geopolitical and economic analysis of the countries of the Danubian basin, correctly forecasting a two-front was and the eventual demise of Nazi Germany.
