Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exercises in Current Economics This book of exercises has been prepared to accompany the author's Current Economic Problems. As complementary expressions of the same conception of economics and the same method of teaching, unity and completeness are to be found only in the two volumes together. The Exercises follows the Problems, division by division, and section by section. In this volume each of the sections falls into four parts. The first gives a short statement introductory to the topic announced. These statements supplement the introductions to the divisions in the Problems, and are intended to give to the divisions the unity which the introductions to the divisions attempt to give to the treatment as a whole. The second gives, by number, a list of supplementary readings in the Problems. These are intended to show something of the many cross-currents in economic life and to indicate the intimate connection between seemingly independent problems. Since the sections bear the same titles as those in the Problems, it has seemed superfluous to enumerate the required readings. The third gives a list of questions based directly upon the readings. An attempt has been made to word them in such a way that they do not call for mere reproduction; that in answering them the student is forced to give something of his own. The fourth presents a series of problems based indirectly upon the readings. They are intended to test the student's acquisition of something more than the mere language of economics, his assimilation of readings presenting material from divergent viewpoints, and his ability to orient his thought in the face of conflicting opinions and testimony. These problems form the real test of the student's reading and study. The character of the Problems has, of course, been determined by the theory underlying the two books. There are fewer problems calling for the mere accumulation of evidence and the annihilation of fallacies than usual.

Download or read book Advanced Macroeconomics written by Filipe R. Campante and published by LSE Press. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Macroeconomic policy is one of the most important policy domains, and the tools of macroeconomics are among the most valuable for policy makers. Yet there has been, up to now, a wide gulf between the level at which macroeconomics is taught at the undergraduate level and the level at which it is practiced. At the same time, doctoral-level textbooks are usually not targeted at a policy audience, making advanced macroeconomics less accessible to current and aspiring practitioners. This book, born out of the Masters course the authors taught for many years at the Harvard Kennedy School, fills this gap. It introduces the tools of dynamic optimization in the context of economic growth, and then applies them to a wide range of policy questions – ranging from pensions, consumption, investment and finance, to the most recent developments in fiscal and monetary policy. It does so with the requisite rigor, but also with a light touch, and an unyielding focus on their application to policy-making, as befits the authors’ own practical experience. Advanced Macroeconomics: An Easy Guide is bound to become a great resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and practitioners alike.

This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Survey of Contemporary Economics, Vol. 1 The American Economic Association wouici regard with dismay an incapacity of its members - because of a too confining division of labor to conceive noble sentiments, judge of private duties, and assess the in retests of their country. These qualities rest upon more than technical expertise: they require a knowledge of human history, philosophy, and politics. But, more immediately, they require that the economist look beyond the regression coefficients, propensities, balances of accounts, and equilibria of forces within his own laboratory to the whole arena of economic life. The primary purpose of the present volume is to provide to the economist outside a particular field an intelligible and reliable account of its main ideas - both analytical devices and their practical application to public policy - which have evolved during the last ten or fifteen years. For most of the less abstruse and technical subjects, it is hoped that the qualified layman, the beginning graduate student, and the public servant will also read with profit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Today's Economics N 0 previous acquaintance with the subject is assumed. Each question can be fully and satisfactorily answered, and every problem can be correctly solved by reference to the previous conclusions reached, to the explanatory material that precedes certain of the questions and problems, and to the hints that are inserted here and there to aid in the reasoning process. For those who desire more extensive reading, page references to commonly used elementary and advanced text books will be found at the end Of each chapter. Certain specialized works, as well as a selection of those Of a more popular nature, have also been listed. NO attempt has been made to treat purely technical matters or to discuss fine distinctions having only a highly theoretical significance. The aim has been, rather, to help the student see a meaning in commonplace things, to teach and stimulate him to reason, and to guide him towards a series of conclusions embodying those fundamental facts concerning our economic life that every citizen Should know and understand. For this purpose, newspaper clippings seem particularly pertinent and have been used extensively as case material. Although drawn exclusively from papers published in New York City and vicinity, these items are typical of economic news published constantly throughout the country.

Download or read book Manual of References and Exercises in Economics Vol 1 written by Frank A. Fetter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of References and Exercises in Economics, Vol. 1: For Use With,, Economic Principles The literature of economics is so extensive that a complete bibliography of some single chapters of a general text would fill a book. Many of the books cited below on special topics contain elaborate special bibliographies. General texts in economies are, with rare exceptions, not included here; the student can conveniently consult them on any topic by means of the index with which each of them is provided. Large use has been made, however, of the several volumes of selected readings in economics which have appeared within the past few years and which now are to be found in most college libraries. These are cited under brief titles as follows: Materials, for Materials for the study of elementary economics, by members of the department of political economy of the University of Chicago, 1913. Readings, Bullock, for Selected readings in economics, C. J. Bullock (ed.), 1907. Readings, Hamilton, for Readings in current economic problems, W. H. Hamilton (ed.), 1914. Source Book, for Source book in Economics, F. A. Fetter (ed.), 1912. It is more than questionable whether the student of an elementary text should be required to read extensively outside in the more or less controversial literature of the subject. This is especially true of the field of the principles, covered in Volume I, where careful drill in definition and clear thinking are more to be sought than voluminous reading. Accordingly, no attempt has been made to cite the many writings that have contributed to the development of economic doctrine in its details in the last half century. The names of the authors and of their writings are to be sought by the more advanced student of theory in the voluminous special literature of the subject. Where the conception developed in the text and the grouping of materials are along unconventional lines, the references in some cases represent a somewhat different point of view from that of the text, but are valuable for their suggestiveness. In other cases preference has been given to concrete examples embodying the principles presented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Readings in the Economic History of the United States Classic Reprint written by Ernest Ludlow Bogart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in the Economic History of the United States The need of providing large college classes with collateral reading in a course on the economic history of the United States has led to the preparation of this book. Its purpose has therefore been pri marily to provide a sufficient body of material to supplement the more systematic text book and lectures. This material has, with only one or two exceptions, been drawn from contemporary sources; in the later periods, with the growing wealth of such material, Official documents have been largely used. But in every period these documents have been supplemented by the more human and the more illuminating comments of travelers, Observers, and others who were entitled to speak authoritatively. Where controversial matters have been treated, every effort has been made to present both sides fairly. In the face of the great amount of material available for such a work as this the main task of the editors has necessarily been one of selection, and in performing this task they have endeavored to present a comprehensive yet balanced picture of the economic activities and development of each period. Agriculture, manufactures, tariff, com merce, transportation, money and banking, labor, and the movement of the population have, each in turn, been given due emphasis in the panoramic picture here unfolded. AS among the different periods it is believed that a balance has been maintained that will commend itself to teachers of American history. TO the period from 1600 to 1808 about one fourth of the book is devoted; one half to that from 1808 to 1860; and the remaining fourth to the period since the Civil War.

Download or read book Modern Brains Produce Profits Classic Reprint written by Alexander Hamilton Institute and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Brains Produce Profits The question is sometimes asked why economics should have a place in the modern business Course. That question is readily answered. Most of us are sailing on some business craft, and it is probably our ambition to be on the bridge, directing the course of the ship. But to do that efficiently, we must not only know our charge from the penant at the mast head to the lowest part of the keel, but we must also be acquainted with the waters in which our craft is to sail - the currents and eddies, the shoals and reefs - not to speak of the stars by which her course is to be guided. N ow, the purpose of economics is just to chart the seas of business and to trace the unseen currents so that our course may be set intelligently and pursued safely. T 0 illustrate: A worker in the advertising department is always in danger of considering busi ness simply as so much, copy to be placed in so manymediums. An accountant easily falls into a rut bounded by the general ledger on one side and the petty cash book on the other. But a man with a scientific business training, even tho he have no expert advertising or accounting knowledge, may come along and point out one flaw after another in the work of such narrow specialists, simply because he has the broader perspective - he sees at once that the special ist has failed to connect his advertising or his account ing with the broader practical purpose and scope of the business, and that he has omitted to watch the signs of the times. That is why this second d104 of the modern business Course is an important one. It furnishes an explanation of those basic principles that underlie all business activities. It is, in fact, a review of the really big motive forces of business, shown in relation to one another. Every business - your business, therefore - is necessarily affected by these forces, and to understand them is a necessary part of a business man's education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems and Exercises in Economics This book of problems and exercises, originally prepared for the use of students in the University of Minnesota, has been thoroughly revised and enlarged for the present edition. It is designed to serve teachers and students in the Principles of Economics by furnishing illustrative problems and exercises in convenient form. It is believed that the use of such problems will tend to accomplish the following results: (1) Illustrate the principles of the science and the subject-matter of the text. (2) Form a basis for class discussions, and for discussions by students outside of class. (3) Promote close thinking on the part of the student. (4) Encourage students to read more critically. (5) Stimulate interest in the subject. The problem method succeeds best when certain problems are assigned for written exercises, the papers read and returned to the student, with errors indicated, to be corrected and returned to the instructor.

Download or read book Capital in the Twenty First Century written by Thomas Piketty and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In this work the author analyzes a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. His findings transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality. He shows that modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality--the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth--today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values if political action is not taken. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, the author says, and may do so again. This original work reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Physiology of Industry: Being an Exposure of Certain Fallacies in Existing Theories of Economics The Object of production is to provide utilities and conveniences' for consumers, and the process is a continuous one from the first handling of the raw material to the moment when it is finally consumed as a utility or a convenience. The only use of Capital being to aid the production of these utilities and conveniences, the total used will necessarily vary with the total of utilities and conveniences daily or weekly consumed. Now saving, while it increases the existing aggregate of Capital, simultaneously reduces the quantity of utilities and conveniences consumed; any undue exercise of this habit must, therefore, cause an accumulation of Capital in excess of that which is required for use, and this excess will exist in the form of general over-production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of References and Exercises in Economics, Vol. 2: For Use With,, Modern Economic Problems This Manual follows the lines of the "Manual of References and Exercises," published in the autumn of 1916, to accompany the volume on Economic Principles. The literature of the field treated in "Modern Economic Problems" is now so vast that no more than a few of the titles could be included in the following lists. The references given are usually the more recent of those that would be helpful to students desiring to go more deeply into the subjects. The collection of questions and exercises is based upon the list printed, first in 1904 and much enlarged in 1910, in the author's "Principles of Economics." Much material has been added that had been shaped and used in class work at Princeton University, and a few other problems have been drawn from, or suggested by, other published lists. The plan of indicating the original sources of a number of these questions has been found to be too difficult to be completed for the present edition. Indeed, it appears that numerous test problems have become a common heritage for economic teachers, and one can hardly be sure when one has traced the ideas to their original sources. Some of them have appeared in somewhat differing forms in various lists for a half century past. Particular acknowledgment is made to my colleagues, Professors Adriance and McCabe, who devised a number of the questions for class use; and to Dr. Stanley E. Howard, who has given most valuable aid in the preparation of this Manual in its present form. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
