Wage-Led Growth examines the causes and consequences associated
with the falling wage share and rising inequality in income
distribution, relating to both aggregate demand and labour
productivity. It presents new empirical and econometric evidence
regarding the economic causes and potential impact of changing
income distribution. The volume also analyses the policy
implications and strategies for a wage-led recovery that would
alleviate the global problems associated with the rising household
debt needed to sustain consumption expenditures and with new
mercantilist policies based on wage moderation. In turn, it
provides an overarching framework that will prove invaluable to
present and future researchers and policy-makers.
This book shows how the realistic foundations and stylized facts of
Post-Keynesian economics give rise to macroeconomic implications
that are different from those of received wisdom with regards to
employment, output growth, inflation and monetary theory, and
offers an alternative to neoclassical economics and its free-market
economic policies.
This book challenges the mainstream paradigm, which is based on the
inter-temporal optimisation of welfare by individual agents. It
introduces a new methodology for studying how it is institutions
which create flows of income, expenditure and production together
with stocks of assets (including money) and liabilities, thereby
determining how whole economies evolve through time. Starting with
extremely simple stock flow consistent (SFC) models, the text
describes a succession of increasingly complex models. Solutions of
these models are used to illustrate ways in which whole economies
evolve when shocked in various ways. Readers will be able to
download all the models and explore their properties for
themselves. A major conclusion is that economies require management
via fiscal and monetary policy if full employment without inflation
is to be achieved.
This book addresses the place of women writers in anthologies and
other literary collections in eighteenth-century England. It
explores and contextualizes the ways in which two different kinds
of printed material-poetic miscellanies and biographical
collections-complemented one another in defining expectations about
the woman writer. Far more than the single-authored text, it was
the collection in one form or another that invested poems and their
authors with authority. By attending to this fascinating cultural
context, Chantel Lavoie explores how women poets were placed
posthumously in the world of eighteenth-century English letters.
Investigating the lives and works of four well-known
poets-Katherine Philips, Aphra Behn, Anne Finch, and Elizabeth
Rowe-Lavoie illuminates the ways in which celebrated women were
collected alongside their poetry, the effect of collocation on
individual reputations, and the intersection between bibliography
and biography as female poets themselves became curiosities. In so
doing, Collecting Women contributes to the understanding of the
intersection of cultural history, canon formation, and literary
collecting in eighteenth-century England.
Women in many Westernized countries encounter a wider variety of
career opportunities than afforded in previous decades, and the
percentage of women leaders in nearly every sector is on the rise.
Sport coaching, however, remains a domain where gender equity has
declined or stalled, despite increasing female sport participation.
The percentage of women who coach women are in the minority in most
sports, and there is a near absence of women coaching men. This
important new book examines why. Drawing on original
multi-disciplinary research from across the globe, including
first-hand accounts from practicing coaches, the book illuminates
and examines the status of women in coaching, explores the complex
issues they face in pursuing their careers, and suggests solutions
for eliminating the barriers that impede women in coaching.
Developing an innovative model of intersectionality and power
constructs through which to guide research, the book covers issues
including sexual identity, race, motherhood, cross-gender coaching
and media coverage to give voice to women coaches from around the
world. As such, Women in Sports Coaching is essential reading for
serious students and scholars of sports coaching, sport sociology
or anyone with an interest in gender and sport.
This book is a detailed examination of the phonetics and phonology
of consonant strength, drawing data from parallel acoustic and
articulatory studies of English and Spanish, as well as a cross
linguistic survey of lenition and fortition.
This book provides a detailed examination of the phonetics and phonology of consonant strength, drawing data from parallel acoustic and articulatory studies of English and Spanish, as well as a cross-linguistic survey of lenition and fortition. Explicit predictions about strength are tested for consonants of all manners of articulation, revealing evidence for aspects of several prevalent phonological views of lenition. This book will be of interest to scholars of phonology, phonetics, and the phonetics-phonology interface. It includes a detailed discussion of methodology, as well as illustrative spectrograms and palatograms.

This volume seeks to go beyond the microeconomic view of wages as a
cost having negative consequences on a given firm, to consider the
positive macroeconomic dynamics associated with wages as a major
component of aggregate demand.
This book offers an accessible introduction to post-Keynesian
economics, showing that there is an alternative to neoclassical
economics and its free-market economic policies. Post-Keynesian
economics is founded on realistic assumptions, such as interest
targeting by central banks or constant average variable costs in
manufacturing and services.

This book challenges the mainstream paradigm with the introduction
of a new methodology. Economies are represented realistically in a
fully articulated system of national income and flow of funds
accounts. The authors study how flows of income, expenditure and
production are intertwined with stocks of assets and liabilities,
determining how whole economies evolve through time.
Starting with extremely simple stock-flow consistent models, the
text describes a succession of increasingly complex models
constructed with such rigor that, in harmony with its basis in
accounting, there is always one equation which is implied logically
by all the others. Readers will be able to download all the models
and explore their properties for themselves.
An ancient being, deriving from an ancient land. Born a servant of
evil, he now exists among us with his true self safely anonymous.
But a stranger is about to awaken a nightmare long thought
banished, a demonic force of unspeakable power that has not walked
the Earth for three millennia. If unleashed, it shall face little
resistance conquering a world unprepared to fight such a
creature.
This former slave must stop the unknown foe from completing his
plans, with the help of a handful of humans...the same life forms
he was once sworn to destroy.
If he fails, not only shall the face of the land be overtaken by
this demon's vampire hordes, but he will revert back into the
mindless golem of his past.
The final conflict will take place not in the land of its
primeval Grecian origin, but across the oceans, within a modern
city where humans and immortals will clash for the future of all
mankind.
Scraping sounds awake you from your sleep. Something putrid is
moving underneath the bed, with razor talons only a thin mattress
away from tearing you to shreds. Cringing with disbelief, in a
panic you suddenly flee from the bedroom and down the stairs,
screaming. In the living room, your corner vision catches a pair of
glowing eyes shifting across the large picture window, and when you
turn to look they are...still there, only now joined with a
drooling maw of fangs. As your heart races to the point of bursting
from your chest, you flatten yourself against the wall trying
praying to remain unseen until a ghostly, disembodied voice
whispers your name from down the hallway. It sounds like a child,
but you and your wife have no children. Your wife? Oh, God, where
is she? There, in the kitchen she stands, smiling. At last, a piece
of sanity from this insane night, and you rush to your loving mate.
Behind her back she holds a gleaming butcher knife, waiting to
return your embrace. In one swift stoke, her hand arcs down, and
you...Turn the page onto the next chapter, nervously anticipating
what new horror awaits you this evening.
