Download or read book The New American Economy written by Bruce Bartlett and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a domestic policy advisor to Ronald Reagan, Bruce Bartlett was one of the originators of Reaganomics, the supply-side economic theory that conservatives have clung to for decades. In The New American Economy, Bartlett goes back to the economic roots that made Impostor a bestseller and abandons the conservative dogma in favor of a policy strongly based on what's worked in the past. Marshalling compelling history and economics, he explains how economic theories that may be perfectly valid at one moment in time under one set of circumstances tend to lose validity over time because they are misapplied under different circumstances. Bartlett makes a compelling, historically-based case for large tax increases, once anathema to him and his economic allies. In The New American Economy, Bartlett seeks to clarify a compelling and way forward for the American economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this dictionary on economic terms originated with the reference books that we have been bringing out. The leading concern was for average students and inquisitive readers who needed to be helped into grasping the meaning of the terms used in books on economics.The dictionary covers almost all the terms that form a part and parcel of economics in simple and easily comprehensible language. In order to enhance the readers' knowledge and bring about more relevance, many examples and graphs have been used along with the definitions of the terms. The dictionary has been arranged alphabetically A-Z, including new terms that have come into regular use. A number of entries contain cross reference except where the word or phrase is self contained and complete in itself. To simplify understanding, graphs accompany the entry wherever considered necessary.'Brief Biographies' of distinguished economists have also been included. Those mentioned have made important contribution to a particular growth model. The edition also contains popular acronyms. Significant data about economic performance of major sectors of economy and bibliographic references by way of appendices have been included; a list showing the Nobel Prize winners in economics from 1969 to 2012 along with their contribution finds place in the appendices section.
Download or read book FDR s Folly written by Jim Powell and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Depression and the New Deal. For generations, the collective American consciousness has believed that the former ruined the country and the latter saved it. Endless praise has been heaped upon President Franklin Delano Roosevelt for masterfully reining in the Depression’s destructive effects and propping up the country on his New Deal platform. In fact, FDR has achieved mythical status in American history and is considered to be, along with Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln, one of the greatest presidents of all time. But would the Great Depression have been so catastrophic had the New Deal never been implemented? In FDR’s Folly, historian Jim Powell argues that it was in fact the New Deal itself, with its shortsighted programs, that deepened the Great Depression, swelled the federal government, and prevented the country from turning around quickly. You’ll discover in alarming detail how FDR’s federal programs hurt America more than helped it, with effects we still feel today, including: • How Social Security actually increased unemployment • How higher taxes undermined good businesses • How new labor laws threw people out of work • And much more This groundbreaking book pulls back the shroud of awe and the cloak of time enveloping FDR to prove convincingly how flawed his economic policies actually were, despite his good intentions and the astounding intellect of his circle of advisers. In today’s turbulent domestic and global environment, eerily similar to that of the 1930s, it’s more important than ever before to uncover and understand the truth of our history, lest we be doomed to repeat it.
Download or read book Say s Law written by Thomas Sowell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Say's Law—the idea that "supply creates its own demand"—has been a basic concept in economics for almost two centuries. Thomas Sowell traces its evolution as it emerged from successive controversies, particularly two of the most bitter and long lasting in the history of the discipline, the "general glut controversy" that reached a peak in the 1820s, and the Keynesian Revolution of the 1930s. These controversies not only involved almost every noted economist of the time but had repercussions on basic economic theory, methodology, and sociopolitical theory. This book, the first comprehensive coverage of the subject, will be an indispensable addition to the history of economic thought. It is also relevant to all social sciences concerned with economic prosperity, with the nature of intellectual orthodoxy and insurgency, or with the complex relationships among ideology, concepts, and policies. Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Division of Labour The division of labour is the separation of the tasks in any economic system or organisation so that participants may specialize (specialisation). Individuals, organizations, and nations are endowed with or acquire specialized capabilities, and either form combinations or trade to take advantage of the capabilities of others in addition to their own. Specialized capabilities may include equipment or natural resources as well as skills. Training and combinations of equipment and other assets acting together are often important. For example, an individual may specialize by acquiring tools and the skills to use them effectively just as an organization may specialize by acquiring specialized equipment and hiring or training skilled operators. The division of labour is the motive for trade and the source of economic interdependence.

Download or read book Natural Economy written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Natural Economy The natural economy is a form of economic system in which the transfer of resources among individuals does not include the use of monetary exchange. Direct trading, entitlement by law, or sharing out according to historic custom are all examples of methods that are utilized in this system for the distribution of resources. In the more intricate kinds of natural economies, certain items may serve as a referent for fair bartering; nevertheless, in general, currency plays only a tiny role in the process of resource allocation. The majority of the items that are created in a natural economy system are not produced with the intention of exchanging them; rather, they are produced for the purpose of direct consumption by the producers themselves, which is referred to as subsistence. Therefore, natural economies have a tendency to be self-sufficient, meaning that all of the items that are consumed are produced within the country.

Download or read book Invisible Hand written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2024-01-06 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Invisible Hand The phrase "the invisible hand" is a metaphor that was developed by Adam Smith, a Scottish moral philosopher. It is used to explain the incentives that free markets frequently generate for individuals who are motivated by their own self-interest to act in the benefit of the public. In the beginning, Smith only offered particular examples when he invoked the phrase. It is mentioned once in his Theory of Moral Sentiments, which was published in 1759, as a component of an argument that defends monopolistic land ownership through the trickle-down effect. However, it is also used once in his Wealth of Nations, where he explains that foreign traders can be trusted provided the incentives are appropriate, which frequently eliminates the need for governments to intervene. This is the most famous usage of the phrase.

Download or read book Marxian Economics written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2024-01-13 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Marxian Economics The Marxian school of economics, sometimes known as Marxian economics, is a school of political economic thinking that is considered to be rather unorthodox. The critique of political economics that Karl Marx offered can be traced back to the origins of this phenomenon. Marxian economists, on the other hand, have a tendency to accept the notion of the economy upon first glance, in contrast to those who criticize political economy. Marxian economics is comprised of a number of distinct theories and encompasses a number of schools of thought, some of which are in direct opposition to one another. In many instances, Marxian analysis is utilized to complement or augment other economic techniques. Due to the fact that one does not necessarily need to be politically Marxist in order to be economically Marxian, the two terms coexist in usage rather than being synonymous with one another: Both connotative and denotative differences are allowed, despite the fact that they participate in the same semantic field.
