Classical Economics, Keynes and Money casts new light on an
approach to economic theory and policy that combines the modern
classical theory of prices and income distribution with a Keynesian
analysis of money and finance. Structured in four parts, the work
considers issues within classical economics, monetary economics,
Keynesian and post-Keynesian Economics, rationality and economic
methodology. These themes are all central to the work of Carlo
Panico, and the chapters both reflect on and build on his key
contributions to the field. This collection is of interest to
advanced students and researchers in the history of economic
thought, monetary theory, financial economics and heterodox
economics.

Challenges for Europe in the World, 2030 embodies critical thinking
about the long-term implications for Europe of the clear shift of
power from the West to the East and the South. Designed as a
multi-faceted project, this book presents an integrated assessment
covering a wide range of policy areas and alternative assumptions
about trends in global and European governance. In order to reach
this ambitious objective in a comprehensive and consistent way,
several types of quantitative and qualitative approaches have been
combined: a model of macro regions of the world economy, an
institutional perspective, and lessons from foresight studies. With
a strong focus on policy implications, the book is introduced by an
executive summary which outlines the project assumptions,
especially on the future of Europe in the context of the current
economic crisis and of the emergence of a new balance of powers in
the global economy. Subsequent chapters cover the regulation of
finance, trade and technology developments, environmental
sustainability, employment conditions and population wellbeing. The
book concludes with an assessment of the extent to which these
developments are likely to lead to significant political changes in
Europe. In sum this book challenges public policy makers to
re-assess their thinking in shaping Europe's future.

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) stands among the greatest thinkers of the
Western world. There is hardly an area of thought, at least of
philosophical thought, to which he did not make significant and
lasting contributions. Particularly noteworthy are his writings on
the foundations and limits of human knowledge, the bidimensional
nature of perceptual or "natural" objects (including human beings),
the basic principles and ends of morality, the character of a just
society and of a world at peace, the movement and direction of
human history, the nature of beauty, the end or purpose of all
creation, the proper education of young people, the true conception
of religion, and on and on. Though Kant was a life-long resident of
Konigsberg, Prussia - child, student, tutor, and then professor of
philosophy (and other subjects) - his thought ranged over nearly
all the world and even beyond. Reports reveal that he (a bachelor)
was an amiable man, highly respected by his students and
colleagues, and even loved by his several close friends. He was
apparently a man of integrity, both in his personal relations and
in his pursuit of knowledge and truth. Despite his somewhat
pessimistic attitude toward the moral progress of mankind - judging
from past history and contemporary events - he never wavered from a
deep-seated faith in the goodness of the human heart, in man's
"splendid disposition toward the good.

In Global Finance at Risk, two economists whom John Kenneth
Galbraith has hailed as accomplished scholars of the first rank
propose a bold solution to the financial crises that threaten us
all: a World Financial Authority with powers to establish worldwide
best-practice financial regulation and risk management. Expansion
of finance in industrialized economies, including that of the
nineteenth-century United States, was accompanied by the same kind
of turbulence now afflicting Asia, Russia, and Latin America. Then,
the solution was to establish national banking and securities
regulators, create deposit insurance, and empower lenders of last
resort. But in our increasingly globalized times, an account opened
at a local bank can be based on bad debt from anywhere in the
world, including places outside the jurisdiction of those national
agencies. And when banks fail, it is not only their account holders
who suffer, but all of us. This is why, argue John Eatwell and
Lance Taylor in this timely and urgent book, effective regulation
of international finance is crucial to the economic health of all
nations. Global Finance at Risk casts a welcome light on the
deepening intricacies of world financial systems.
The book sets forth the economic rationale for international
financial regulation and what role, if any, international
regulation can play in effectively managing systemic risk while
providing accountability to all affected nations. The book suggests
that a particular type of global governance structure is necessary
to have more efficient regulation of the international financial
systems.
These papers provide a cutting-edge overview of general issues regarding world capital markets, experience in developing countries, and capital market regulation, which many economists believe could turn into the number one topic in international business and economics.
