This book was released on 2008 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Theorie der "Langen Wellen der Konjunktur" hat bis heute nichts von ihrer Faszination eingebusst. Ob sich die langfristige wirtschaftliche Entwicklung jedoch tatsachlich in regelmassigen Auf- und Abschwungsphasen mit einer Dauer von 30 bis 60 Jahren vollzieht, ist trotz eines immensen Forschungsaufwandes nach wir vor umstritten - was vor allem auf die Verwendung inadaquater statistischer Methoden zuruckzufuhren ist. Rainer Metz zeigt in diesem Band, wie sich die Existenz der langen Konjunkturwellen empirisch uberprufen lasst. Dabei zeichnet er die bisherigen Bemuhungen um ein 'ideales' Verfahren der Analyse "Langer Wellen" in einer auch fur den Nicht-Statistiker verstandlichen Weise nach. Detailliert untersucht und vergleicht der Autor insbesondere die beiden alternativen Forschungsansatze "Filter-Design" und "Model-based approach".
Download or read book From Rail to Road and Back Again written by Colin Divall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coming of the railways signalled the transformation of European society, allowing the quick and cheap mass transportation of people and goods on a previously unimaginable scale. By the early decades of the twentieth century, however, the domination of rail transport was threatened by increased motorised road transport which would quickly surpass and eclipse the trains, only itself to be challenged in the twenty-first century by a renewal of interest in railways. Yet, as the studies in this volume make clear, to view the relationship between road and rail as a simple competition between two rival forms of transportation, is a mistake. Rail transport did not vanish in the twentieth century any more than road transport vanished in the nineteenth with the appearance of the railways. Instead a mutual interdependence has always existed, balancing the strengths and weaknesses of each system. It is that interdependence that forms the major theme of this collection. Divided into two main sections, the first part of the book offers a series of chapters examining how railway companies reacted to increasing competition from road transport, and exploring the degree to which railways depended on road transportation at different times and places. Part two focuses on road mobility, interpreting it as the innovative success story of the twentieth century. Taken together, these essays provide a fascinating reappraisal of the complex and shifting nature of European transportation over the last one hundred years.
Download or read book Economic Cycles Crises and the Global Periphery written by Leonid Grinin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking monograph analyzes long- medium- and short-term global cycles of prosperity, recession, and depression, plotting them against centuries of important world events. Major research on economic and political cycles is integrated to clarify evolving relationships between the global center and its periphery as well as current worldwide economic upheavals and potential future developments. Central to this survey are successive waves of industrial and, later, technological and cybernetic progress, leading to the current era of globalization and the changes of the roles of both Western powers and former minors players, however that will lead to the formation of the world order without a hegemon. Additionally, the authors predict what they term the Great Convergence, the lessening of inequities between the global core and the rest of the world, including the wealth gap between First and Third World nations. Among the topics in this ambitious volume: · Why politics is often omitted from economic analysis. · Why economic cycles are crucial to understanding the modern geopolitical landscape. · How the aging of the developed world will affect world technological and economic future.“/p> · The evolving technological forecast for Global North and South. · Where the U.S. is likely to stand on the future world stage. Economic Cycles, Crises, and the Global Periphery will inspire discussion and debate among sociologists, global economists, demographers, global historians, and futurologists. This expert knowledge is necessary for further research, proactive response, and preparedness for a new age of sociopolitical change.

Download or read book Vernunft und Innovation written by Antje Gimmler and published by Brill Fink. This book was released on 2010 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walther Ch. Zimmerlis philosophische Bemühungen sind von Grenzgängen zwischen und Überschreitungen von Disziplinen gekennzeichnet und von der Grundüberzeugung getragen, dass Philosophie sich einzumischen und einzubringen hat. Sie muss sich also mit den Lebensfragen der Menschen selbst auseinandersetzen. Zimmerlis philosophisches Ziel ist immer, die Problemlösungsqualität zu steigern. Um dies zu erreichen haben ihn Zeit seines akademischen Lebens weder disziplinäre Grenzen noch systematische Zuordnungen interessiert, sondern er hat Fragen der Technikbewertung (z.B. Kernenergie), der gentechnisch verfahrenden Biotechnologie (sog. Life Sciences), des Umgangs mit Computern philosophisch thematisiert. Bezugspunkt dabei war stets die öffentliche Vernunft als ein abwägendes Bemühen, politische Willensbildung, ökonomische Interessen, technologischen Fortschritt und gesellschaftliche Entwicklung mit ihrer lebensweltlich unterschiedlichen Kommunikativität aufeinander zu beziehen und das bessere Argument zur Geltung zu bringen. Sich im öffentlichen Raum zu bewegen, heißt für ihn, begründet Position zu beziehen, reflektiert Gestaltungsspielräume auszunutzen und persönliche Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Davon ist sowohl seine akademische als auch seine hochschulpolitische Karriere sowie seine Tätigkeit in der Wirtschaft geprägt. Allen Bestrebungen gemeinsam ist die Suche nach Neuem und die Frage, wie es entsteht? Handlungsleitend für Walther Ch. Zimmerli war und ist aber stets, ob und wie diese Innovationen eine Verbesserung für die Menschen in Gegenwart und Zukunft darstellen.
