Book Money  Incentives and Efficiency in the Hungarian Economic Reform

Download or read book Money Incentives and Efficiency in the Hungarian Economic Reform written by Joseph C. Brada and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume document the serious shortcomings of the Hungarian economic reform, which in two decades has brought deteriorating economic performance, declining real wages, a fiscal deficit and severe inflationary pressures. It has proved unexpectedly difficult to substitute a regulated market economy for a centrally planned one. The authors of these essays argue that the problems stem from the incompleteness of the reforms and their compromise character. Today, as the Hungarians prepare to implement more radical measures, constraining the Communist party and rolling back state ownership, they do so under economically difficult conditions.

Book Chinese Economic Reform

Download or read book Chinese Economic Reform written by Bruce L. Reynolds and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese Economic Reform: How Far, How Fast? focuses on China's economic reform and tackles topics ranging from the reformed price system and the macroeconomic mechanism to the dual pricing system in industry. The rapid growth in money income and government deficit is also examined, along with the relationship between price level, money supply, and GNP. Agricultural reform and the shortcomings of China's banking system as a tool for monetary control are considered as well. Comprised of 17 chapters, this book begins with an analysis of the impact of the two-tier plan/market system on the Chinese industry, followed by a discussion on the dual pricing system in the industry and money and price level determination in China. The reader is then introduced to China's macroeconomic policy and how it has been influenced by the reform process; money and the consumption goods market; and issues in the structural reform of agriculture. Subsequent chapters focus on the banking system; economic policy and income distribution; trade, employment, and inequality in post-reform China; and the stock-share system as an avenue for reforming the Chinese economy. Economic liberalization in China is also compared with that in India. This monograph will be of interest to economists and economic policymakers.

Book The Global Business

Download or read book The Global Business written by Erdener Kaynak and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global competition is being fueled by economic, technological, legal/political, and social changes taking place around the globe. As trade blocs and countries emerge and change, they offer certain opportunities and present certain threats for domestic companies. As U.S. companies enter the world market, they will be faced with increased competition. To ensure greater success against this competition, this timely book provides concepts, techniques, and strategies for professionals guiding these firms into the world market. The Global Business is need- and action-oriented. It shows the steps in the globalization process, complete with ample company and industry examples from a variety of regions and countries of the world. An ideal book for marketers, managers, and professors alike, these frequently asked questions are just a few that are answered in The Global Business: What are the best methods of operating in global markets? Is there such a thing as global consumer? If so, what are his/her characteristics? What are the decisionmaking rules in global markets? Does global marketing strategy differ in any way from domestic marketing strategy? What is a global firm and how does it act and behave? What are the emerging patterns and developments in global marketing theory and practice today? What does the future hold for global firms? The Global Business offers practical, managerial guidelines for business and marketing managers, public policymakers, and researchers and scholars of marketing on a global scale. It helps firms develop and maintain distinct competitive advantages in the foreign markets in which they wish to or do already operate. Among the topics discussed are global location strategy; global sourcing; the Euroconsumer; marketing in Socialist countries of Eastern Europe and the People’s Republic of China; joint venture formation, Third World marketing; and cross-cultural and cross-national consumer behavior.

Book The Socialist System

Download or read book The Socialist System written by János Kornai and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the dramatic collapse of the socialist order and the current turmoil in the formerly communist world, this comprehensive work examines the most important common properties of all socialist societies. JNBnos Kornai brings a life-long study of the problems of the socialist system to his explanation of why inherent attributes of socialism inevitably produced in-efficiency. In his past work he has focused on the economic sphere, maintaining consistently that the weak economic performance of socialist countries resulted from the system itself, not from the personalities of top leaders or mistakes made by leading organizations and planners. This book synthesizes themes from his earlier investigations, while broadening the discussion to include the role of the political power structure and of communist ideology. Kornai distinguishes between two types, or historical phases, of socialism. The "classical socialism" of Stalin, Mao, and their followers is totalitarian and brutally repressive, but its components fit together and make up a coherent edifice. Associated with names like Tito, KNBdar, Deng-Xiaoping, and Gorbachev, "reform socialism" relaxes repression, but brings about a sharpening of inner contradictions and the eventual dissolution of the system. Kornai examines the classical system in the first half of the book, and moves on to explore the complex process of reform in the second half. The Socialist System is addressed to economists in the first place, but also to political scientists, sociologists, and historians. In addition, it will appeal to policymakers, business analysts, and government officials who need to understand either formerly or presently communist countries.

Book The Economics of Socialism After World War Two

Download or read book The Economics of Socialism After World War Two written by J. Wilczynski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive and contemporary source available on socialist economic systems, this book employs economic data from eight East European countries and Russia to provide readers with a thorough, accurate picture of formerly Communist economies. J. Wilczynski carefully analyzes the major focal points of socialistic economics: planning and market, profit, production and growth, accumulation, consumption, labor, land, pricing, money and banking, fiscal policy and control, domestic and foreign trade, and international economics. The treatment of the subject is objective and constructive; when comparisons are made with capitalist economies both the strengths and weaknesses of socialism are brought out. This is not, however, a book on comparative economic systems but rather a complete discourse on the actual principles of socialist economics. Controversial issues such as the role of planning and the market, profit, rates of growth, the consumer's place, labor incentives, pricing, and controls are particularly well done. This book can be used as a guide to the economics of formerly communist regimes and as text for courses in developmental economics and comparative economic systems. It is well written by a scholar intimate with the plans, policies, and failures of communist economies from the close of The Second World War to the demise of Communist rule in Eastern Europe.

Book The Transformation Of Communist Systems

Download or read book The Transformation Of Communist Systems written by Bernard Chavance and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the confrontation between the two main economic systems that has marked the twentieth century, capitalism has been declared the winner–by default– over its adversary, socialism. Today, establishing a market economy has become the primary goal of the formerly socialist countries. The history of economic reform helps explain this remarkable turning point. Attempts to improve the old centralized system by expanding enterprise autonomy (in Poland, the Soviet Union, and East Germany) and more radical reforms that limited the role of central planning (in Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and China) encountered social and political obstacles or had unexpected and undesired effects. During the 1980s, the idea of a socialist market economy, which had been seen as a "third way" between capitalism and centralized socialism, was abandoned as economists gradually came to support a free market rather than the dogma of planning. Through a comparative and historical analysis of change in socialist and post-socialist systems, this timely and original book clarifies the policies and pitfalls in this extraordinary transition. Bernard Chavance provides a succinct introduction and analysis of the politics and economics of Eastern Europe from the creation of the Stalinist system in the Soviet Union through what he argues have been three major waves of reform since the 1950s to the dismantling of most socialist governments in the 1990s. Exploring the link between the one-party regime and the growing rigidity of socialist economic systems, the author analyzes the failure of both incremental and radical reforms to adapt to new economic challenges, thus leading to the ultimate collapse of communist regimes in Europe.
