Download or read book Just Get Out of the Way written by Robert E. Anderson and published by Cato Institute. This book was released on 2004-02-25 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic growth is essential for reducing poverty, and a well-functioning private sector is the only way to increase economic growth. Yet international institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund recommend sophisticated policies to improve the business environment that governments in poor countries cannot successfully implement. The result is often a worsening of private sector performance. In this book, Robert E. Anderson, a development consultant and former World Bank economist, recommends a different approach. Instead of adopting policies that are common in rich countries, Anderson suggests that policymakers take into account the institutional weaknesses typical of developing countries — corruption, deficient rule of law, cronyism, and so on. Simpler, market-oriented policies are more suitable to poor countries’ institutional environments and more likely to produce growth and keep the private and public sectors honest. Anderson recommends sometimes counterintuitive policy solutions for a number of areas -- banking, privatization, corporate governance, bankruptcy, and competition. For instance, he argues that “rich countries were once poor countries” and that “examples from the past in rich countries may be more appropriate for poor countries today.”

Download or read book The Way of the Rose written by Clark Strand and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? “This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.
