Economists, practitioners of the dismal science, are little known for their compassion or their profundity, but Robert Heilbroner, author of The Worldly Philosophers , displays both in this sweeping study of the state and future of capitalism. Based on lectures delivered at Massey College, Heilbroner's book argues persuasively that the public sector, far from being a drag on the marketplace, can be "an indispensable source of strength;" that the death of Communism, not just an unalloyed cause for celebration, represents in some ways the end of the ideals of egalitarianism and community; and that there is "a limit beyond which acquisitiveness no longer serves, and may well disserve, the adaptability of the order." A book everyone concerned about more than their next paycheck should read....


Monetary Policy at the European Periphery: Greek Experience and Lessons for Eu Candidates (European and Transatlantic Studies)

Iannis A. Mourmouras, Michael G. Arghyrou, Jurgen Von Hagen


Monetary Policy at the European Periphery: Greek Experience and Lessons for Eu Candidates (European and Transatlantic Studies) Iannis A. Mourmouras, Michael G. Arghyrou, Jurgen Von Hagen The book proposes a monetary policy regime that is suitable for the European Periphery on the road to the euro. The first part examines the relation between the eleven founding members of the EMU and countries staying out of the EMU - paying particular attention to the European Periphery that includes Greece and all those CEE transition countries which have recently applied for EU membership. The second part of the book argues against ERM-II participation for those countries. It stresses the limits in efficiency of an ERM-II arrangement in a world of increased international capital movements, fiscal imbalances, and asymmetric real shocks. The third part offers a consistent and credible monetary framework for the achievement of price stability at the European Periphery: adoption of explicit and formal inflation targets together with political and economic independence of the central bank. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин The book proposes a monetary policy regime that is suitable for the European Periphery on the road to the euro.

Timothy J. Minchin, John David Smith

Minchin studies one of the longest labor disputes in American history, a lockout involving the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers' International Union and BASF, a German-based chemical manufacturer.

Minchin examines the range of innovative tactics applied by the union, from joining with Greenpeace on a Timothy J.

The dispute ran from 1984 to 1989 at the BASFplant in Geismar, Louisiana, and was resolved only after the union applied an unusual strategy of alliance with environmentalists in order to bring pressure against the company from several directions at once. Minchin examines the range of innovative tactics applied by the union, from joining with Greenpeace on a "Toxic March" through Louisiana to raising concerns about possible links between plant emissions and residents' health problems, especially the state's high cancer rate. He also documents how the union used workers' awareness of past environmental practices to disrupt the company's efforts to expand operations at the site. Minchin's research challenges the prevailing notion that unions and environmental groups have......
