Download or read book Les pi ges de la finance mondiale written by Appel des économistes pour sortir de la pensée unique and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre part d'un constat sévère : la mondialisation de la finance a provoqué instabilité et crises, favorisé un partage des richesses au profit des actionnaires et des revenus du capital mais au détriment de l'emploi et des revenus du travail. D'où une croissance malsaine, assise sur l'endettement et la spéculation. Pour sortir de ce piège, il faut d'abord comprendre comment nous en sommes devenus prisonniers : c'est le premier mérite de ce livre. Il explique précisément comment les investisseurs financiers (à commencer par les fonds de pension) imposent leurs exigences de rentabilité aux entreprises. Mais il souligne aussi la responsabilité des Etats qui, par leurs politiques libérales ou restrictives, dans les années quatre-vingt, ont fait le lit de la mondialisation financière. Le second mérite des auteurs est d'aller au-delà du diagnostic et d'explorer les voies d'une nouvelle régulation de la finance mondiale : comment endiguer de nouvelles crises financières malgré la déréglementation et l'imprudence des banques ; comment, notamment grâce à une taxe Tobin, freiner l'instabilité due à la volatilité des capitaux spéculatifs ; comment mieux stabiliser les taux de change entre monnaies... Bref, sans minimiser les difficultés et les doutes qui subsistent, comment réguler à nouveau la finance et reconquérir des marges de manœuvre pour les politiques publiques sans pour autant s'isoler dans un cadre strictement national.

Download or read book Finance Capital Today written by François Chesnais and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finance Capital Today is shortlisted for the The Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize 2017. Finance Capital Today presents a rich new analysis of the specific features of contemporary capitalism, notably its truly global nature and its financialisation, calling on Marxist analyses of the concentration, centralisation and globalisation of capital and Marx’s theory of interest-bearing and fictitious capital. Chesnais shows how financial globalisation and the exponential growth of financial assets have developed alongside the globalisation of productive capital, paying special attention to the contemporary operations of transnational corporations and global oligopoly. He argues that the macroeconomic perspective is one in which large amounts of capital are looking for profitable investment in a setting of underlying overproduction and low profits. The outcome will be low global growth, repeated financial shocks and the growing interconnection between the environmental and economic crises.
Download or read book Arms War and Terrorism in the Global Economy Today written by Wolfram Elsner and published by Lit Verlag. This book was released on 2007 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the end of the Cold War, the world has experienced a more mono-polar power structure. In contrast to promises of a peaceful 'one' world, this seems not to have provided more international justice and security, nor reduced international conflict. Defense-related issues, long given minor attention in economics, have surfaced rather as a central mechanism in the current stage of globalization. Increase in military expenditures, the multiplication of wars, new generations of sophisticated weapons, and increased interest for defense stocks at the financial markets, indicate that a new type of relation between defense and economy has set in. The papers presented here investigate on what economics has to say on conflict, war, and terrorism today, a selection of sophisticated economic analyses of the theoretical and applied industrial, macroeconomic, fiscal-policy, financial market, regional, and alternative policies dimensions. Here, modern economics has a considerable and critical contribution to make.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Book excerpt: The continent of Africa is rich in minerals needed by Western economies, but rather than forming the basis for economic growth the mining industry contributes very little to African development Investigating the impact of the 2003 Extractive Industries Review on a number of African countries, the contributors find the root of the problem in the controls imposed on the African countries by the IMF and World Bank. They aim to convince academics, governments and industry that regulation needs to be reformed to create a mining industry favourable towards social, economic and environmental development. The book takes a multidisciplinary approach and provides a historical perspective of each country, making it ideal for students of development studies and development organizations.

Book excerpt: School Construction Strategies for Universal Primary Education in Africa' examines the scope of the infrastructure challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa and the constraints to scaling up at an affordable cost.
