Download or read book The Affluent Society Revisited written by Mike Berry and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book revisits John Kenneth Galbraith's classic text The Affluent Society in the context of the background to, and causes of, the global economic crisis that erupted in 2008. Each chapter takes a major theme of Galbraith's book, distils his arguments, and then discusses to what extent they cast light on current developments, both in developed economies and in the economics discipline. The themes include: inequality, insecurity, inflation, debt, consumer behaviour, financialization, the economic role of government ('social balance'), the power of ideas, the role of power in the economy, and the nature of the good society. It considers the current problems of capitalism and the huge challenges facing democratic governments in tackling them. Written in non-technical language, this book is accessible to students of economics and the social sciences as well as to those who would have read The Affluent Society and the general reader interested in contemporary affairs and public policy.

This book was released on 2006-03-31 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American agriculture in the twentieth century has given the world one of its great success stories, a paradigm of productivity and plenty. Yet the story has its dark side, from the plight of the Okies in the 1930s to the farm crisis of the 1980s to today's concerns about low crop prices and the impact of biotechnology. Looking at U.S. farming over the past century, Bruce Gardner searches out explanations for both the remarkable progress and the persistent social problems that have marked the history of American agriculture. Gardner documents both the economic difficulties that have confronted farmers and the technological and economic transformations that have lifted them from relative poverty to economic parity with the nonfarm population. He provides a detailed analysis of the causes of these trends, with emphasis on the role of government action. He reviews how commodity support programs, driven by interest-group politics, have spent hundreds of billions of dollars to little purpose. Nonetheless, Gardner concludes that by reconciling competing economic interests while fostering productivity growth and economic integration of the farm and nonfarm economies, the overall twentieth-century role of government in American agriculture is fairly viewed as a triumph of democracy.

Download or read book Higher Goals for America written by Stuart S. Nagel and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1989 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to bring together a number of ideas that relate to the analysis of public policy issues for the presidential campaigns of 1988. These issues are also relevant to 1992 and thereafter since the emphasis is on long-term concerns. The book is organized in terms of the need for higher goals for America, incentives for achieving higher goals, improving American constitutional effectiveness, coordinating the public and private sectors and public policy substance methods. Beginning with goals on a high level of generality or applicability, the author then discusses middle range means for achieving them, with an emphasis on economic incentives, political structures, and legal rules. Specific policy problems and systematic methods for analyzing them are also included. One important feature of this book is that it is concerned with issues relevant to the presidential campaigns of Democrats and Republicans, or liberals and conservatives within the political parties. Contains charts and tables.
