Book The Political Economy of International Reform and Reconstruction

Download or read book The Political Economy of International Reform and Reconstruction written by Ludwig Von Mises and published by Selected Writings of Ludwig Vo. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he fled Austria in 1934, Ludwig von Mises left behind a wealth of writings that, he supposed, were lost forever. Seized by the Nazi Gestapo, the papers were subsequently captured by the Soviet KGB and were archived in Moscow. Their discovery in 1996, by Professors Richard and Anna Ebeling of Hillsdale College, received widespread attention. In cooperation with Hillsdale College, Liberty Fund will make available these long-lost writings, many of which have not previously appeared in English, as part of a three-volume edition of selected writings by one of the unsurpassed economists of the twentieth century. In the first of the volumes to be published are contained separate previously unpublished works that Mises wrote from 1940 through 1944, when much of the world was at war. The papers include: Guiding Principles for the Reconstruction of Austria (1940); An Eastern Democratic Union: A Proposal for the Establishment of a Durable Peace in Eastern Europe (1943); Aspects of American Foreign Trade Policy (1943); Mexico's Economic Problems (1943); The Main Issues in Present-Day Monetary Controversies (1944), and; A Non-Inflationary Proposal for Post-War Monetary Reconstruction (1944).

Book State Collapse and Reconstruction in the Periphery

Download or read book State Collapse and Reconstruction in the Periphery written by Jens Stilhoff Sörensen and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the 1990s, Yugoslavia, which had once been a role model for development, became a symbol for state collapse, external intervention and post-war reconstruction. Today the region has two international protectorates, contested states and borders, severe ethnic polarisation and minority concerns. In this first in-depth critical analysis of international administration, aid and reconstruction policies in Kosovo, Jens Stilhoff Sorensen argues that the region must be analysed as a whole, and that the process of state collapse and recent changes in aid policy must be interpreted in connection to the wider transformation of the global political economy and world order. He examines the shifting inter- and intracommunity relations, the emergence of a 'political economy' of conflict, and of informal clientelist arrangements in Serbia and Kosovo and provides a framework for interpreting the collapse of the Yugoslav state, the emergence of ethnic conflict and shadow economies, and the character of western aid and intervention. Western governments and agencies have built policies on conceptions and assumptions for which there is no genuine historical or contemporary economic, social or political basis in the region. As the author persuasively argues, this discrepancy has exacerbated and cemented problems in the region and provided further complications that are likely to remain for years to come." -- Back cover.

  • ISBN : 0813937752

Download or read book Gold and Freedom written by Nicolas Barreyre and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have long treated Reconstruction primarily as a southern concern isolated from broader national political developments. Yet at its core, Reconstruction was a battle for the legacy of the Civil War that would determine the political fate not only of the South but of the nation. In Gold and Freedom, Nicolas Barreyre recovers the story of how economic issues became central to American politics after the war. The idea that a financial debate was as important for Reconstruction as emancipation may seem remarkable, but the war created economic issues that all Americans, not just southerners, had to grapple with, including a huge debt, an inconvertible paper currency, high taxation, and tariffs. Alongside the key issues of race and citizenship, the struggle with the new economic model and the type of society it created pervaded the entire country. Both were legacies of war. Both were fought over by the same citizens in a newly reunited nation. It was thus impossible for such closely related debates to proceed independently. A truly groundbreaking work, Gold and Freedom shows how much the fate of Reconstruction—and the political world it ultimately created—owed to northern sectional divisions, revealing important links between race and economy, as well as region and nation, not previously recognized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through an examination of election campaign propaganda and various public relations campaigns, reflecting new electioneering techniques borrowed from the United States, this work explores how conservative political and economic groups sought to construct and sell a political meaning of the Social Market Economy and the Economic Miracle in West Germany during the 1950s.The political meaning of economics contributed to conservative electoral success, constructed a new belief in the free market economy within West German society, and provided legitimacy and political stability for the new Federal Republic of Germany.

Book Lebanon s Renaissance

Download or read book Lebanon s Renaissance written by Tom Najem and published by Garnet & Ithaca Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of political developments in the aftermath of the Lebanese civil war. The author argues that despite the complexity of Lebanese society and a host of unresolved issues that triggered the civil war, Lebanese political discourse and political activity during the period under discussion (1990-2000) was dominated by a single issue: economic reconstruction. The author establishes the main reasons behind this and proceeds to render a penetrating analysis of the Lebanese political setting as it impinges on the reconstruction process.

Book The Two Reconstructions

Download or read book The Two Reconstructions written by Richard M. Valelly and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-10-02 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2005 J. David Greenstone Book Award from the Politics and History section of the American Political Science Association. Winner of the 2005 Ralph J. Bunche Award of the American Political Science Association Winner of the 2005 V.O. Key, Jr. Award of the Southern Political Science Association The Reconstruction era marked a huge political leap for African Americans, who rapidly went from the status of slaves to voters and officeholders. Yet this hard-won progress lasted only a few decades. Ultimately a "second reconstruction"—associated with the civil rights movement and the Voting Rights Act—became necessary. How did the first reconstruction fail so utterly, setting the stage for the complete disenfranchisement of Southern black voters, and why did the second succeed? These are among the questions Richard M. Valelly answers in this fascinating history. The fate of black enfranchisement, he argues, has been closely intertwined with the strengths and constraints of our political institutions. Valelly shows how effective biracial coalitions have been the key to success and incisively traces how and why political parties and the national courts either rewarded or discouraged the formation of coalitions. Revamping our understanding of American race relations, The Two Reconstructions brilliantly explains a puzzle that lies at the heart of America’s development as a political democracy.

Book The Wheel of Wealth

Download or read book The Wheel of Wealth written by John Beattie Crozier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wheel of Wealth: Being a Reconstruction of the Science and Art of Political Economy on the Lines of Modern Evolution In the ordinary way this volume would not have required a preface, as the title-page speaks for itself, but a word or two is due to the reader in explanation of its disconnection from the series to which it naturally belongs. Originally I had intended to issue the whole of my works under the general title of the 'History of Intellectual Development,' but I have been warned by my literary advisers that in doing so I should seriously prejudice their reception by the public, inasmuch as the common title given to each volume in succession was calculated to give the impression that no one volume could be read with full appreciation and understanding without a knowledge of those which had preceded it; and besides, that the subjects with which I had dealt in Vol. III. being almost entirely problems of Politics and Society could not properly be said to fall under the designation of a History of Intellectual Development. Now, when I projected this series, over a quarter of a century ago, what I proposed to myself was, to treat the subject-matter of each volume as a 'specialism,' and to keep each quite independent of every other, except in so far as all alike would be written from the new standpoint, which under the title of 'A New Organon' I had explained at length in my first volume, 'Civilization and Progress,' and which was to be the keynote as it were of the whole. I have therefore decided to issue this volume simply as an independent treatise on Political Economy, although I wish it to be understood that it comes in its natural place in the series as originally projected.
