Does they have close relatoinship between environment and living? How and why environment influences our living model needs to be changed in order to adapt any sudden economic environment changes. In macro view, economic environment and our living environment which have direct relatoinship. When our social economic environment changes significantly suddenly, then our society needs to find the best methods in order to let us to feel adapt to the sudden economic environment changes to threaten the least living negative effects. I shall indicate the reasons as below: Any countries must have themselves methods to adapt any time sudden economic environment changes. Such as China and US, China is one non -freedom country, but US is one freedom country. Hence, the relationship of how to adjustment policies, poverty and the environment was complex and different between them. Due to these are different, so they will influence themselves citizen decide how to do behaviors in order to adapt their living when they are living in themselves countries. It seems that any countries citizen need to find the best methods in order to adopt to live in themselves countries easily. Otherwise, some people feel difficult to adapt to live in themselves countries. Then, they willchoose emmigrate to other countries to live because they feel that they cannot adapt to live themselves countries more easily. Some countries feel macroeconomic stability is one good method to keep their conuntries can have long term economic growth. But, it is not absolute right because it is not sufficientto ensure long-term environmental sustainability. For example, lower inflatoin rates, increased savings, lower budget deficits, and improved trade balances were central to creating conditions for increased investment, a higher growth rate, employment creation, and poverty reductoin. However, macroeconomic stability and increased economic efficiency would not and could not solve other basic development issues, such as income inequality and cost internalizatoin, which directly threatened the sustainability of the countries' development strategies. Such asMexico and Thailand that bring the shortcomings in addressing specific environmental impacts of the price corrections and government failure to implement complementary policy reforms to bring Mexico and Thailand people often emmigrate to US illegal because they feel living difficulty to live in their countries. So, in long term, poor economic development will bring the number of emmigrants increases effect to any country in possible. Also, it seems that the emmigrants number is more or less, it has close relationship to the country's people how feel their country is suitable to them to live forever.Why does environment can impact liberalized trade regimes and influence consumers' consumption desires change ?
Download or read book Living Economy Influences Our Future Living Experience written by Johnny Ch LOK and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-11-24 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does living economy mean ? How living economy influences consumer shopping behaviours and worker productive behaviours change. I shall explain as below: Firstly, we need to know what economy and science difference is. The reason for the gaps is that economics is very far from an exact science. The main actors are people or consumers, we need to work and spend. In my nowadays living, our consumption model has the impacts of the internet, and whether it bring more growth and better living standards for every. In past, we must need go to shops to buy any things. But, nowadays, we can apply internet to enter any business website to choose our preferable product to pay visa to buy among different kinds products' photos. So, e-commerce or e-shopping had change many consumers' traditional consumption model. It can bring exciting shopping experience and convenience to general consumers. Instead of internet influences consumer shopping method hand, internet also influence some offices apply internet to help employees to work at homes. So, Some office staffs do not need often go to offices to work, they can apply internet to do their office tasks at homes. It is one good example internet can bring living economic shopping convenience and working convenience to influence working people and consumers' living consumption and working traditional habit changing. But, internet also cause some people lose jobs, because some companies may dismiss some positions to be replaced by internet or artificial intelligent technology tools. In economic beneficial view, they aims to reduce salary expenditure and raises productivities and efficiencies. So, (AI) and internet technological invention can raise unemployment ratio in our societies, but it also raise efficiencies and productivities for businessmen in possible. These high technological invention can also bring economic growth because a desire for more profits would raise greater productivity, and therefore greater growth. This was achieved via the division of labour. For example, when one vehicle factory applies artificial intelligent robotic tools to assist workers to manufacture vehicles. The (AI) concentrates on manufacturing some vehicles engines as well as the workers need to divide the suitable engine parts to install to finish to manufacture any one vehicle in the factory. So, (AI) can assist workers to achieve division of labour aim. IN long term, if some countries' vehicle companies, even global vehicle companies can select to apply (AI) tools to assist workers to manufacture any one vehicle in the same time. It will raise whole vehicle industry vehicle productive efficiency and manufacture any one vehicle in the most short time. Indirectly, it will bring economic growth effect to these countries in possible, because vehicle suppliers can have enough different kinds of vehicles number to sell to different countries consumers in any time in global easily. Then, vehicle GDP income will increase and it can bring economic growth rapidly. But, (AI) robotic invention can also bring disadvantages to workers, because since the essence of capitalism is to make money, those workers will be increasingly exploited as time goes on. Faced with growing competition, employers may make staff work longer or harder as they may cut their wages and hire cheaper workers like women and children. Either way, profits will increase and so will worker dissatisfaction.

Many criticisms of the impacts of structural adjustment on the environment focus on the negative environmental consequences of liberalized trade regimes. These concern on these aspects: The fact is that liberalized trade discourages internalizatoin of environment costs. IN the logic of competitive advantage, countries that lower the productoin costs for private enterprises can enjoy an advantage over competing natoins by failing to internalize environment costs associated with production and disposal of commodities and manufactured goods. Such as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ( GATT), which prevails trade practices that encourage the externalization of environment cost. For example, GATT rules do not allow countries to distinguish between production processes that internalize environment costs and those that pass such costs to present and future generatoins.
Download or read book The Purpose Economy written by Aaron Hurst and published by Elevate Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of shifts are happening in our economy: Millennials are trading in conventional career paths to launch tech start-ups, start small businesses that are rooted in local communities, or freelance their expertise. We are sharing everything, from bikes and cars, to extra rooms in our homes. We now create, buy and sell handcrafted products in our local communities with ease. Globally recognized entrepreneur, founder of Taproot Foundation and CEO of Imperative, Aaron Hurst, argues in his latest book that while these developments seem unrelated at first, taken together they reveal a powerful pattern that points to purpose as the new driver of the American economy. Like the Information Economy, which has driven innovation and economic growth until now, Hurst argues that our new economic era is driven by connecting people to their purpose. It's an economy where value lies in establishing purpose for employees and customers through serving needs greater than their own, enabling personal growth and building community. Based on interviews with thousands of entrepreneurs, Hurst shows this new era is already fueling demand for a whole host of products and services and transforming how millennials view their careers. A new breed of startups like Etsy, Zaarly, Tough Mudder, Kickstarter, and Airbnb are finding new ways to create value by connecting us with our local communities. At the same time, companies like Tesla and Whole Foods are making the march from just appealing to affluent buyers to becoming mainstream brands. Hurst calls these companies, along with the pioneering entrepreneurs who founded them, the Purpose Economy's taste-makers. This book is at once a personal memoir of Aaron Hurst’s own awakening as a purpose driven entrepreneur, when he left a well-paying tech job in 2001 to launch Taproot, creating a pathway for millions of professionals and Fortune 500 companies to volunteer for nonprofits. It's also a blueprint for a new economic era that is transforming companies, markets and our careers to better serve people and the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We humans live by stories, says David Korten, and the stories that now govern our society set us on a path to certain self - destruction. In this profound new book, Korten shares the results of his search for a story that reflects the fullness of human knowledge and understanding and provides a guide to action adequate to the needs of our time. Korten calls our current story Sacred Money and Markets. Money, it tells us, is the measure of all worth and the source of all happiness. Earth is simply a source of raw materials. Inequality and environmental destruction are unfortunate but unavoidable. Although many recognize that this story promotes bad ethics, bad science, and bad economics, it will remain our guiding story until replaced by one that aligns with our deepest understanding of the universe and our relationship to it. To guide our path to a viable human future, Korten offers a Sacred Life and Living Earth story grounded in a cosmology that affirms we are living beings born of a living Earth itself born of a living universe. Our health and well - being depend on an economy that works in partnership with the processes by which Earth's community of life maintains the conditions of its own existence - and ours. Offering a hopeful vision, Korten lays out the transformative impact adopting this story will have on every aspect of human life and society.

Download or read book The Future of Capitalism written by Paul Collier and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill Gates's Five Books for Summer Reading 2019 From world-renowned economist Paul Collier, a candid diagnosis of the failures of capitalism and a pragmatic and realistic vision for how we can repair it. Deep new rifts are tearing apart the fabric of the United States and other Western societies: thriving cities versus rural counties, the highly skilled elite versus the less educated, wealthy versus developing countries. As these divides deepen, we have lost the sense of ethical obligation to others that was crucial to the rise of post-war social democracy. So far these rifts have been answered only by the revivalist ideologies of populism and socialism, leading to the seismic upheavals of Trump, Brexit, and the return of the far-right in Germany. We have heard many critiques of capitalism but no one has laid out a realistic way to fix it, until now. In a passionate and polemical book, celebrated economist Paul Collier outlines brilliantly original and ethical ways of healing these rifts—economic, social and cultural—with the cool head of pragmatism, rather than the fervor of ideological revivalism. He reveals how he has personally lived across these three divides, moving from working-class Sheffield to hyper-competitive Oxford, and working between Britain and Africa, and acknowledges some of the failings of his profession. Drawing on his own solutions as well as ideas from some of the world’s most distinguished social scientists, he shows us how to save capitalism from itself—and free ourselves from the intellectual baggage of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1972 this study analyses the process of economic growth and social change in the riparian communities of the Lower Volta River in Ghana, which came about in large part due to the construction of the Volta dam in 1963. With its completion many of the riparian communities were denied the ecconomic advatages of natural irrigation and water flow for inland fisheries, although they did benefit through the emergence of a valuable lake fishery. The study cound that the socio-economic preconditions for a rise in the standard of living had been building up over some time and many social, economic and political forms of change had been introduced to change the previous static equlibrium. Such influences began to erode the hitherto unquestioned acceptance of traditional institutions and the stability and security they offered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.
Download or read book Choice Behavioral Economics and Addiction written by Rudolph Eugene Vuchinich and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-11-13 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice, Behavioural Economics and Addiction is about the theory, data, and applied implications of choice-based models of substance use and addiction. The distinction between substance use and addiction is important, because many individuals use substances but are not also addicted to them. The behavioural economic perspective has made contributions to the analysis of both of these phenomena and, while the major focus of the book is on theories of addiction, it is necessary also to consider the behavioural economic account of substance use in order to place the theories in their proper context and provide full coverage of the contribution of behavioural economics to this field of study. The book discusses the four major theories of addiction that have been developed in the area of economic science/behavioural economics. They are: . hyperbolic discounting . melioration . relative addiction . rational addiction The main objective of the book is to popularise these ideas among addiction researchers, academics and practitioners. The specific aims are to articulate the shared and distinctive elements of these four theories, to present and discuss the latest empirical work on substance abuse and addiction that is being conducted in this area, and to articulate a range of applied implications of this body of work for clinical, public health and public policy initiatives. The book is based on an invitation-only conference entitled, Choice, Behavioural Economics and Addiction: Theory, Evidence and Applications held at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, March 30 - April 1, 2001. The conference was attended by prominent scientists and scholars, representing a range of disciplines concerned with theories of addiction and their consequences for policy and practice. The papers in the book are based on the papers given at the above conference, together with commentaries by distinguished experts and, in many cases, replies to these comments by the presenters.
