Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to set out in a comprehensive, but succinct manner, the key points surrounding four economic issues that generate, today, much discussion and debate. These are the issues of growth, unemployment, distribution and government. It is aimed at an audience that is sufficiently interested in economic issues to read a book that sets out these issues clearly, comprehensively and above all, seriously. This has implications for both the style and the content of the book. Clarity requires that the arguments be presented coherently, without resort to jargon. Comprehensiveness requires a wide perspective embracing theoretical, empirical and policy matters. Lastly, seriousness requires that the most up-to-date thinking on economic matters is presented in digestible form, but without violence to the integrity of the original arguments. Achieving this trinity of objectives has been the primary aim of this book.

Download or read book The American Political Economy written by Douglas A. HIBBS and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the most comprehensive and authoritative work to date on relationships between the economy and politics in the years from Eisenhower through Reagan. Extending and deepening his earlier work, which had major impact in both political science and economics, Hibbs traces the patterns in and sources of postwar growth, unemployment, and inflation. He identifies which groups win and lose from inflations and recessions. He also shows how voters' perceptions and reactions to economic events affect the electoral fortunes of political parties and presidents. Hibbs's analyses demonstrate that political officials in a democratic society ignore the economic interests and demands of their constituents at their peril, because episodes of prosperity and austerity frequently have critical influence on voters' behavior at the polls. The consequences of Eisenhower's last recession, of Ford's unwillingness to stimulate the economy, of Carter's stalled recovery were electorally fatal, whereas Johnson's, Nixon's, and Reagan's successes in presiding over rising employment and real incomes helped win elections. The book develops a major theory of macroeconomic policy action that explains why priority is given to growth, unemployment, inflation, and income distribution shifts with changes in partisan control of the White House. The analysis shows how such policy priorities conform to the underlying economic interests and preferences of the governing party's core political supporters. Throughout the study Hibbs is careful to take account of domestic institutional arrangements and international economic events that constrain domestic policy effectiveness and influence domestic economic outcomes. Hibbs's interdisciplinary approach yields more rigorous and more persuasive characterizations of the American political economy than either purely economic, apolitical analyses or purely partisan, politicized accounts. His book provides a useful benchmark for the advocacy of new policies for the 1990s--a handy volume for politicians and their staffs, as well as for students and teachers of politics and economics.

Book excerpt: "Wallace Peterson addresses the great economic puzzle of our time: the stubborn persistence of excessive inflation and unemployment. This condition, often described by the unlovely term "stagflation," is symptomatic of deeply rooted ills in the way our system of market capitalism operates. It is not a condition that can be cured by use of conventional economic tools--fiscal and monetary policies. Experience since the mid-1960s shows that such efforts usually make the situation worse. The answer to the problem lies elsewhere"--Book jacket.
Download or read book Impact of Economic Growth on Income Inequalities written by Dastgir Alam and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, Aligarh Muslim University (Department of Economics), language: English, abstract: Abstract Since the ages inequalities in income distribution have been both a fact and a major cause of concern for world community. India, being a part of this world also suffers from this problem. To solve it India started the process of planning in 1950 and since then planners are making their best efforts to reduce the prevalence of income inequalities. The present study revealed that in comparison to rural areas, the problem of income inequalities has always been higher in urban areas. In rural areas economic growth is proved very important in solving the problem of inequalities but only before the economic reforms. After the economic reforms, economic growth has failed to address the problem of inequality in income distribution. The study has further found that in urban areas, it is not the economic growth but the differential growth of the various sectors which is affecting the level inequalities in income distribution. Key Words: Inequalities, Income Distribution, Income Inequalities, Economic Growth, Economic Reforms, Differential Growth.
Download or read book Industrialisation Employment and Income Distribution written by Ronald Hsia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1978. In spite of the wide recognition of Hong Kong’s successful growth record, little is known about the impact that rapid industrialisation has had on income distribution. The transformation of an entrepôt economy into an industrial one has been accompanied by a transition from a labour surplus to a labour shortage economy, which has had a profound influence on the distribution of income by size. The effect has been channelled through a number of variables such as the composition of employment by industry, occupational structure, labour force participation rate and wage structure. All these changes have, moreover, owed much to the existence of a market mechanism which has been virtually free from government intervention. Beginning with a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of the various characteristics of employment and the labour force on household income distribution, this study assesses the impact of Hong Kong’s industrialisation and employment growth on its income distribution. Through an analysis of the changes in industrial and occupational structures, employment status, household size, labour participation rate, inflow of labour and wage and employment structures, it considers not only how income distribution alters with economic development, but also the mechanism that has brought about these changes. The redistribution effect of government activities is examined and the incidence of particular taxes to different income groups is apportioned to give a clear overall picture. Finally, the benefits obtained from government expenditures on housing, education and health are measured and are allocated to different income groups, illustrating how this has appreciably reduced income inequality in Hong Kong.

This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence indicates that actions within four main themes (early child development fair employment and decent work social protection and the living environment) are likely to have the greatest impact on the social determinants of health and health inequities. A systematic search and analysis of recommendations and policy guidelines from intergovernmental organizations and international bodies identified practical policy options for action on social determinants within these four themes. Policy options focused on early childhood education and care; child poverty; investment strategies for an inclusive economy; active labour market programmes; working conditions; social cash transfers; affordable housing; and planning and regulatory mechanisms to improve air quality and mitigate climate change. Applying combinations of these policy options alongside effective governance for health equity should enable WHO European Region Member States to reduce health inequities and synergize efforts to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
