Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the objective of a resource-efficient low carbon economy is to be reached and how the transition is managed are the key issues addressed by this publication. The two main focuses are industrial policy and employment prospects on the road to a green economy that retains its industrial base. Any lasting recovery of the real economy will necessarily take the shape of a more resource-efficient production model. While we argue that only a more ambitious and comprehensive European climate policy framework would have a chance of delivering the broader 2050 climate targets, this does not mean that Europe has to give up its industrial base and its related competences. Several chapters of this book argue that the option of attaining a low-carbon economy through ‘deindustrialisation’ would prevent Europe from preserving its competitiveness and knowledge base, which are also essential for exploiting the potential of the emerging eco-industry. While decoupling economic growth from resource use is also possible with an industrial base that is more energy-and resource-efficient, this does require a fundamental shift in terms of how the economy is managed and how business decisions are made. Sustainable industrial and structural policies are needed also in order to ensure that this revolutionary process takes place in a socially balanced manner.

Download or read book Taking Trade to the Streets written by Susan Ariel Aaronson and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2002-05-14 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of civil protest in Seattle during the 1999 World Trade Organization meeting, many issues raised by globalization and increasingly free trade have been in the forefront of the news. But these issues are not necessarily new. Taking Trade to the Streets describes how so many individuals and nongovernmental organizations came over time to see trade agreements as threatening national systems of social and environmental regulations. Using the United States as a case study, Susan Ariel Aaronson examines the history of trade agreement critics, focusing particular attention on NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement between Canada, Mexico, and the United States) and the Tokyo and Uruguay Rounds of trade liberalization under the GATT. She also considers the question of whether such trade agreement critics are truly protectionist. The book explores how trade agreement critics built a fluid global movement to redefine the terms of trade agreements (the international system of rules governing trade) and to redefine how citizens talk about trade. (The "terms of trade" is a relationship between the prices of exports and of imports.) That movement, which has been growing since the 1980s, transcends borders as well as longstanding views about the role of government in the economy. While many trade agreement critics on the left say they want government policies to make markets more equitable, they find themselves allied with activists on the right who want to reduce the role of government in the economy. Aaronson highlights three hot-button social issues--food safety, the environment, and labor standards--to illustrate how conflicts arise between trade and other types of regulation. And finally she calls for a careful evaluation of the terms of trade from which an honest debate over regulating the global economy might emerge. Ultimately, this book links the history of trade policy to the history of social regulation. It is a social, political, and economic history that will be of interest to policymakers and students of history, economics, political science, government, trade, sociology, and international affairs. Susan Ariel Aaronson is Senior Fellow at the National Policy Institute and occasional commentator on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition."

Download or read book The Case for a Job Guarantee written by Pavlina R. Tcherneva and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-06-05 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most enduring ideas in economics is that unemployment is both unavoidable and necessary for the smooth functioning of the economy. This assumption has provided cover for the devastating social and economic costs of job insecurity. It is also false. In this book, leading expert Pavlina R. Tcherneva challenges us to imagine a world where the phantom of unemployment is banished and anyone who seeks decent, living-wage work can find it - guaranteed. This is the aim of the Job Guarantee proposal: to provide a voluntary employment opportunity in public service to anyone who needs it. Tcherneva enumerates the many advantages of the Job Guarantee over the status quo and proposes a blueprint for its implementation within the wider context of the need for a Green New Deal. This compact primer is the ultimate guide to the benefits of one of the most transformative public policies being discussed today. It is essential reading for all citizens and activists who are passionate about social justice and building a fairer economy.

Download or read book Creating Industrial Capacity written by Jonathan Michie and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1996 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the economic prospects for Britain and the other major world economies over the coming years? Creating sustained economic growth and tackling unemployment remain centre-stage in economic policy debate across the globe - and look set to remain there for the foreseeable future. Thisbook represents a major new contribution to the analysis of these issues, and to the debate on appropriate policy options.A key obstacle to the restoration of full employment is the erosion of industrial capacity to the point where it is no longer adequate for employing the available workforce, even if the necessary demand for the output is there. rebuilding that capacity is essential if demand is to be allowed toincrease sufficiently to bring levels of unemployment significantly below those prevailing in recent years. Decisions on capacity rest on demand prospects, while demand management is inhibited by fears that capacity shortages will lead to renewed inflation.The particular problems, and the differing contexts for policy action, in Britain, the European Union, the US and Japan are all analysed in separate chapters.In addition to a close scrutiny of the evidence and arguments about capacity problems, the book looks more widely to issues of business systems, City-industry relations, and the role of international business and governance systems in shaping economic and industrial policy.The book is divided into four main sections: Demand, Capacity, and Employment; Industrial Problems and Policies; International Lessons and Policy; Directions for Policy.This book will inform economic policy debates on both sides of the Atlantic. It will be useful reading for students of macro- and industrial economics, and for all those interested in the business or economic environment.
