Book excerpt: Is it possible for human society to shift from the current prevailing socio-economic system to the Sustainable Socio-Economic System, which would, once established, perpetuate through time and maximise the chances of the long-term survival and prosperity of mankind? Or are we forever bound to various forms of the market-monetary and centrally planned economic system with either democratic or dictatorial form of leadership, as has been the case throughout human history?This book illustrates that chances exist for the Sustainable Socio-Economic System to function and that the gradual transition toward such a socio-economic system could be successfully conducted without endangering the stability of society throughout its course.As it has been estimated that chances for the Sustainable Socio-Economic System to be established exist, the message that this book aims to convey is that theoretical concepts of the Sustainable Socio-Economic System and of the gradual transition toward it should be researched further by an independent research organization, applying the scientific method in all aspects of its research. This book defines goals of the research, which could be conducted by such a research organization, as well as proposes its organizational structure and methods of establishing it.The book also surpasses its purpose of conveying the previously mentioned message, for a large share of the book consists of analyses of the market-monetary democratic system, being the prevailing socio-economic system in the modern world, of analyses of the Sustainable Socio-Economic System, and analyses of the gradual transition toward this system. By reading this book, the reader can gain a detailed understanding of the aforementioned topics. He or she can therefore gain an understanding of the characteristics of the market-monetary democratic socio-economic system and of the characteristics and developmental tendencies of an economy and wider society within this system, and if using the framework provided in this book, can improve the understanding of historic and current events, as well as improve his or her ability to estimate future developments in the global economy and global society to a high degree of certainty. The reader can also become able to visualize the Sustainable Socio-Economic System, to understand the process of transition toward it, and to understand other possible types of transitions, some of which have taken place historically in human society.The Sustainable Socio-Economic System essentially represents a socio-economic system, which maximises the chances of the long-term survival and prosperity of mankind. It is defined by the Principle of Sustainability, a set of criteria required to be applied in all aspects of a socio-economic system in order for it to be characterized as sustainable.All socio-economic systems can be determined to either be sustainable or unsustainable, based on whether or not all of the criteria of the Principle of Sustainability are applied in all aspects of a particular socio-economic system. All past socio-economic systems that have taken place in human society, including the market-monetary democratic system, to a significant extent breach various criteria of the Principle of Sustainability, essentially meaning that all of these socio-economic systems have been and are unsustainable.As the characteristics of all possible socio-economic systems, which make the latter unsustainable, are explained in this book, the reader should gain an understanding of the importance of eventually conducting the gradual transition toward the Sustainable Socio-Economic System. After gaining this understanding, the reader could decide to support the idea of establishing an independent research organization, which would determine the possibilities of establishing the Sustainable Socio-Economic System and conducting the gradual transition toward it.
Download or read book Analyzing Oppression written by Ann E. Cudd and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing Oppression presents a new, integrated theory of social oppression, which tackles the fundamental question that no theory of oppression has satisfactorily answered: if there is no natural hierarchy among humans, why are some cases of oppression so persistent? Cudd argues that the explanation lies in the coercive co-opting of the oppressed to join in their own oppression. This answer sets the stage for analysis throughout the book, as it explores the questions of how and why the oppressed join in their oppression. Cudd argues that oppression is an institutionally structured harm perpetrated on social groups by other groups using direct and indirect material, economic, and psychological force. Among the most important and insidious of the indirect forces is an economic force that operates through oppressed persons' own rational choices. This force constitutes the central feature of analysis, and the book argues that this force is especially insidious because it conceals the fact of oppression from the oppressed and from others who would be sympathetic to their plight. The oppressed come to believe that they suffer personal failings and this belief appears to absolve society from responsibility. While on Cudd's view oppression is grounded in material exploitation and physical deprivation, it cannot be long sustained without corresponding psychological forces. Cudd examines the direct and indirect psychological forces that generate and sustain oppression. She discusses strategies that groups have used to resist oppression and argues that all persons have a moral responsibility to resist in some way. In the concluding chapter Cudd proposes a concept of freedom that would be possible for humans in a world that is actively opposing oppression, arguing that freedom for each individual is only possible when we achieve freedom for all others.

This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last twenty years, several periods of turmoil have shaped the financial and economic system. Many regulatory policies, such as Basel III, have been introduced to overcome further crises and scandals. In addition, monetary policy has experienced a transition from conventional to unconventional frameworks in most industrialized and emerging economies. For instance, turning to hedge and diversification of portfolios, commodities markets have attracted increasing interest. More recently, new forms of money have been introduced, such as virtual money. These changes have influenced governance features at both macro and micro levels. Therefore, calls for ethical and sustainable standards in financial and economic spheres have been growing since 2007.Financial and Economic Systems: Transformations and New Challenges provides readers with insights about future transformations and challenges for financial and economic systems. Prominent contributors focus on different aspects, providing a global overview of crisis implications. The book is split into four main areas: Changes in the Real Sphere, covering issues related to yields, risk, unconventional monetary policy, and macroprudential policy; Financial Markets and Macroeconomics, covering uncertainty in finance and economics; CSR, Sustainability and Ethical Finance, highlighting the emergence of corporate social responsibility; and Digitalization, Blockchain and FinTech and the consequences of these transformations on markets and economic systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contributed volume presents the outcomes of multidisciplinary studies on the problem of sustainable economic development. The key issues addressed here are economic transformation, crisis management, formation and implementation of industrial policy in the innovative economy, and the development of individual industries (oil refining, transport, education, tourism, the financial sector, etc.), as well as the problem of resistance to changes in the economy. Special attention is paid to economic growth under unstable conditions and the impact of digitalization on the development of economic processes. This book is dividided into five parts, the first of which deals with factors and conditions determining the sustainable development of different socio-economic systems, as well as issues in connection with the post-crisis development of regional economies. In turn, the second part is devoted to an analysis of the innovative development of the economy, risk assessment for innovation projects, readiness for changes and innovations, and various instruments of innovative economic development. Prospects for the digitalization of the economy and the current changes in economic systems caused by digitalization are considered in the third part of the book. In the fourth part, the authors discuss the specific features of labor market development, and professional competencies that will be essential to the sustainable development of the economy. In closing, the fifth part presents sectoral and intra-organizational aspects of sustainable economic development.
Download or read book The Economic System written by Eleanor Doyle and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2005-05-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economic System provides an accessible account of introductory economics theory that allows students more fully to appreciate the main features and complexity of the Economic System by integrating microeconomic and macroeconomic principles on a topic-by-topic basis. The purpose of the approach is to allow the student to understand the economy as a system of complex and inter-related features incorporating: consumers, producers, markets and governments based on an understanding of the roles of prices and markets and exchange. This structure provides a context whereby students understand that to analyse issues from an economic perspective often requires the use of both micro- and macroeconomic tools and an appreciation of the interrelationships that exist between them. An explicit aim in the book is to clarify how models and concepts in economics are useful as tools that support rigorous, methodical and logical analysis and not simply useful to solve mathematical "puzzles" by providing one "correct" answer.
Download or read book Stabilizing an Unstable Economy written by Hyman P. Minsky and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Mr. Minsky long argued markets were crisis prone. His 'moment' has arrived.” -The Wall Street Journal In his seminal work, Minsky presents his groundbreaking financial theory of investment, one that is startlingly relevant today. He explains why the American economy has experienced periods of debilitating inflation, rising unemployment, and marked slowdowns-and why the economy is now undergoing a credit crisis that he foresaw. Stabilizing an Unstable Economy covers: The natural inclination of complex, capitalist economies toward instability Booms and busts as unavoidable results of high-risk lending practices “Speculative finance” and its effect on investment and asset prices Government's role in bolstering consumption during times of high unemployment The need to increase Federal Reserve oversight of banks Henry Kaufman, president, Henry Kaufman & Company, Inc., places Minsky's prescient ideas in the context of today's financial markets and institutions in a fascinating new preface. Two of Minsky's colleagues, Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, Ph.D. and president, The Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, and L. Randall Wray, Ph.D. and a senior scholar at the Institute, also weigh in on Minsky's present relevance in today's economic scene in a new introduction. A surge of interest in and respect for Hyman Minsky's ideas pervades Wall Street, as top economic thinkers and financial writers have started using the phrase “Minsky moment” to describe America's turbulent economy. There has never been a more appropriate time to read this classic of economic theory.

Download or read book Political Capitalism written by Randall G. Holcombe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problems associated with cronyism, corporatism, and policies that favor the elite over the masses have received increasing attention in recent years. Political Capitalism explains that what people often view as the result of corruption and unethical behavior are symptoms of a distinct system of political economy. The symptoms of political capitalism are often viewed as the result of government intervention in a market economy, or as attributes of a capitalist economy itself. Randall G. Holcombe combines well-established theories in economics and the social sciences to show that political capitalism is not a mixed economy, or government intervention in a market economy, or some intermediate step between capitalism and socialism. After developing the economic theory of political capitalism, Holcombe goes on to explain how changes in political ideology have facilitated the growth of political capitalism, and what can be done to redirect public policy back toward the public interest.
