This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rousing call to halt trade with China and reinvigorate truly liberal economic trade policy a complex argument shorn of hypertechnical language, composed in a breezy, informal style Kirkus Review Concise, reasonable and clear exploration of one of todays most pressing political and economic issues: international trade unblemished by jargon characteristic of tomes proclaiming a complex economic theory Blue Ink Review Despite the hefty subject matter, Death of the Middle Class is solidly written and is easy to follow, forgoing most economic jargon. Clarion Review The book discusses the economic problems we face in the world today, especially in developed countries, and the growing threat to western political systems. It clarifies how the established framework of liberal economics has been misrepresented to justify free trade and immigration with a large, low-wage country such as China. And it shows what liberal economic theory actually says about it how it impacts the supply and demand balance of labour, the incentives for labour-saving technological innovation (the main driver of living standards in history), the global capitalist system for allocation of scarce resources and the normal functioning of all markets in the world. Finally, the book examines some alternative explanations and policies that have been advanced, and explains how they are at best a dangerous distraction and at worst harmful. Government spending. Monetary policy interest rates and QE. Reforms. The role of technology. Demographics people getting older. Inequality.

Book excerpt: Technological Dependence, Monopoly, and Growth presents the major difficulties of growth that the underdeveloped countries encounter after their initial steps towards industrial progress. This book discusses the problems of economic development in many underdeveloped countries. Comprised of five chapters, this book begins with an overview of the vast differences between the levels of income in the developed and the underdeveloped countries. This text then examines the limited alternatives of underdeveloped economies to the adoption of methods and scales of production that evolved in the advanced economies in adaptation to their large markets and factor proportions. Other chapters consider the complications introduced by the problems of foreign trade. This book discusses as well the kind and degree of government intervention that would result to the transformation of the fundamental characteristics of a capitalist system. The final chapter deals with the economic integration of underdeveloped countries. Economists will find this book useful.
Download or read book A Tale of a Fool written by Guðný Hallgrímsdóttir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Tale of a Fool? explores the life of Guðrún Ketilsdóttir, a peasant woman born in Iceland around 1759. Guðrún worked as a farmhand for most of her adult life, and when she died she left behind a partial autobiography, which is believed to be the oldest autobiography of an Icelandic peasant woman. In this autobiography, Guðrún writes openly about her life and provides colourful depictions of the society in which she lived, providing one of the few first-hand accounts that have survived from members of the peasant class at that time. A Tale of a Fool? demonstrates how it is possible to work with this kind of source using the methods of microhistory as a historical tool to study events and individuals of the past. In doing so, it not only provides an illuminating study of the life of a peasant woman in the 18th and 19th centuries but also addresses the question of the methods, priorities and interpretations applied in the collecting, cataloguing and publication of women’s writing. Analysing the place of the individual in traditional agrarian societies and highlighting the impact that women have had on the cultural and social history of the period, A Tale of a Fool? is ideal for researchers of microhistory and early modern Iceland/Scandinavia.

The underlying general problem is the price in markets where there is only a limited number of enterprises.
Download or read book The Theory of Monopoly Capitalism written by John Bellamy Foster and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Absent any "epoch making innovations" like the automobile or vast new increases in military spending, the result was a general trend toward economic stagnation--a condition that persists, and is increasingly apparent, to this day. Their analysis was also extended to issues of imperialism, or "accumulation on a world scale," overlapping with the path-breaking work of Samir Amin in particular. John Bellamy Foster is a leading exponent of this theoretical perspective today, continuing in the tradition of Baran and Sweezy's Monopoly Capital. This new edition of his essential work, The Theory of Monopoly Capitalism, is a clear and accessible explication of this outlook, brought up to the present, and incorporating an analysis of recently discovered "lost" chapters from Monopoly Capital and correspondence between Baran and Sweezy.

Download or read book Monopoly and Trade Policy written by Carsten Kowalczyk and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a general equilibrium technique for the problem of ranking policies of a nation that trades with a foreign monopoly firm by presenting a generalization of the offer curve. The paper demonstrates the existence of a partial welfare ranking between ad valorem rates and specific rates, and it shows that a minimum import requirement welfare dominates other quantitative policies. The paper proves that a recent policy, the voluntary import expansion, has strongly adverse consequences: when trading with a foreign monopoly firm a nation implementing such a policy will achieve only its autarky level of welfare.

Download or read book In Defense of Monopoly written by Richard B. McKenzie and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Defense of Monopoly offers an unconventional but empirically grounded argument in favor of market monopolies. Authors McKenzie and Lee claim that conventional, static models exaggerate the harm done by real-world monopolies, and they show why some degree of monopoly presence is necessary to maximize the improvement of human welfare over time. Inspired by Joseph Schumpeter's suggestion that market imperfections can drive an economy's long-term progress, In Defense of Monopoly defies conventional assumptions to show readers why an economic system's failure to efficiently allocate its resources is actually a necessary precondition for maximizing the system's long-term performance: the perfectly fluid, competitive economy idealized by most economists is decidedly inferior to one characterized by market entry and exit restrictions or costs. An economy is not a board game in which players compete for a limited number of properties, nor is it much like the kind of blackboard games that economists use to develop their monopoly models. As McKenzie and Lee demonstrate, the creation of goods and services in the real world requires not only competition but the prospect of gains beyond a normal competitive rate of return.
Download or read book The Oxford Encyclopedia of Economic History written by Joel Mokyr and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2003 with total page 2812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What were the economic roots of modern industrialism? Were labor unions ever effective in raising workers' living standards? Did high levels of taxation in the past normally lead to economic decline? These and similar questions profoundly inform a wide range of intertwined social issues whose complexity, scope, and depth become fully evident in the Encyclopedia. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the field, the Encyclopedia is divided not only by chronological and geographic boundaries, but also by related subfields such as agricultural history, demographic history, business history, and the histories of technology, migration, and transportation. The articles, all written and signed by international contributors, include scholars from Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Covering economic history in all areas of the world and segments of ecnomies from prehistoric times to the present, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Economic History is the ideal resource for students, economists, and general readers, offering a unique glimpse into this integral part of world history.
