Download or read book Economic Analysis of the Digital Economy written by Avi Goldfarb and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a small and growing literature that explores the impact of digitization in a variety of contexts, but its economic consequences, surprisingly, remain poorly understood. This volume aims to set the agenda for research in the economics of digitization, with each chapter identifying a promising area of research. "Economics of Digitization "identifies urgent topics with research already underway that warrant further exploration from economists. In addition to the growing importance of digitization itself, digital technologies have some features that suggest that many well-studied economic models may not apply and, indeed, so many aspects of the digital economy throw normal economics in a loop. "Economics of Digitization" will be one of the first to focus on the economic implications of digitization and to bring together leading scholars in the economics of digitization to explore emerging research.

Download or read book Capital and Ideology written by Thomas Piketty and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 1105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller An NPR Best Book of the Year The epic successor to one of the most important books of the century: at once a retelling of global history, a scathing critique of contemporary politics, and a bold proposal for a new and fairer economic system. Thomas Piketty’s bestselling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system. Our economy, Piketty observes, is not a natural fact. Markets, profits, and capital are all historical constructs that depend on choices. Piketty explores the material and ideological interactions of conflicting social groups that have given us slavery, serfdom, colonialism, communism, and hypercapitalism, shaping the lives of billions. He concludes that the great driver of human progress over the centuries has been the struggle for equality and education and not, as often argued, the assertion of property rights or the pursuit of stability. The new era of extreme inequality that has derailed that progress since the 1980s, he shows, is partly a reaction against communism, but it is also the fruit of ignorance, intellectual specialization, and our drift toward the dead-end politics of identity. Once we understand this, we can begin to envision a more balanced approach to economics and politics. Piketty argues for a new “participatory” socialism, a system founded on an ideology of equality, social property, education, and the sharing of knowledge and power. Capital and Ideology is destined to be one of the indispensable books of our time, a work that will not only help us understand the world, but that will change it.

Download or read book Liberalism and Cronyism written by Randall G. Holcombe and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political and economic systems either allow exchange and resource allocation to take place through mutual agreement under a system of liberalism, or force them to take place under a system of cronyism in which some people have the power to direct the activities of others. This book seeks to clarify the differences between liberalism and cronyism by scrutinizing the actual operation of various political and economic systems. Examples include historical systems such as fascism in Germany between the world wars and socialism in the former Soviet Union, as well as contemporary systems such as majoritarianism and industrial policy. By examining how real governments have operated, this book demonstrates why-despite their diverse designs-in practice all political and economic systems are variants of either liberalism or cronyism. About the Authors Randall G. Holcombe is DeVoe Moore professor of economics at Florida State University.

Download or read book Political Capitalism written by Randall G. Holcombe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problems associated with cronyism, corporatism, and policies that favor the elite over the masses have received increasing attention in recent years. Political Capitalism explains that what people often view as the result of corruption and unethical behavior are symptoms of a distinct system of political economy. The symptoms of political capitalism are often viewed as the result of government intervention in a market economy, or as attributes of a capitalist economy itself. Randall G. Holcombe combines well-established theories in economics and the social sciences to show that political capitalism is not a mixed economy, or government intervention in a market economy, or some intermediate step between capitalism and socialism. After developing the economic theory of political capitalism, Holcombe goes on to explain how changes in political ideology have facilitated the growth of political capitalism, and what can be done to redirect public policy back toward the public interest.

Download or read book Political Catsup with Economy Fries written by Mel Scanlan Stahl and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Political Catsup with Economy Fries: Liberalism, Pragmatism, Opportunism, readers are introduced to a simpler political analysis based on an examination of economic policies. Mel Scanlan Stahl describes three different American political ideologies: classical liberalism, modern liberalism and neoliberalism. Primary sources introduce the reader to the ideas and people that have shaped each ideology. Urgent circumstances reveal how each ideology was set into motion under a different set of challenges. Political groups who benefitted the most and least show how the ideology affected groups differently. The helpful and disruptive influence of technologies show how political systems and economic systems have had to change with the times. And policies that have harmed the economy and how America recovered from them show that dark economic times needn't lead to economic catastrophe. Bad policies have required reform in the past and identifying current policies ripe for change can lead the U.S. to a better future. The reader learns how the action arena for politics and economics receive different social cues and have different kinds of incentives. Readers learn that three areas, finance, war and the law affect both political and economic choices and therefore have grave influence over social outcomes. Extraordinary attention is needed in these areas to balance diverse interests through good policies. Everyone wants to know why policies in the U.S. aren't creating prosperity. People don't like the "new normal." Americans want their government to work better in support of a healthier economy. Where did America take a wrong turn? And now with the U.S. in trouble and an election looming that seems to offer little hope of economic or political relief, this book helps people understand better policy approaches in government that could provide solutions. Debt saturated fiscal policy, the overprinted fiat monetary system under Federal Reserve experimentation, greater militarization with seemingly endless wars in the Middle East, and fewer gainful jobs but with higher taxes, are alarming trends that worry Americans at every turn. This book helps people to understand political stakes, how governmental power has been used differently during each ideological period and how to improve our chances for prosperity.
