Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised edition of ABCs is a lively and accessible introduction to modern political economy. Informed by the work of Marx, Veblen, Kalecki, Robinson, Minsky and other great political economists, Robin Hahnel provides the essential tools needed to understand economic issues today. Dispelling myths about financial liberalisation, fiscal austerity, globalisation and free markets, the ABCs offers a critical perspective on our present system and outlines clear alternatives for the future. This second edition applies the analytical tools developed to help readers understand the origins of the financial crisis of 2007, the ensuing 'Great Recession,' and why government policies in Europe and North America over the past six years have failed to improve matters for the majority of their citizens. The second edition also helps explain what is causing climate change and what will be required if it is to be resolved effectively and fairly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed examination of how the American political system favors the wealthy—now fully revised and expanded The first edition of Unequal Democracy was an instant classic, shattering illusions about American democracy and spurring scholarly and popular interest in the political causes and consequences of escalating economic inequality. This revised, updated, and expanded second edition includes two new chapters on the political economy of the Obama era. One presents the Great Recession as a "stress test" of the American political system by analyzing the 2008 election and the impact of Barack Obama's "New New Deal" on the economic fortunes of the rich, middle class, and poor. The other assesses the politics of inequality in the wake of the Occupy Wall Street movement, the 2012 election, and the partisan gridlock of Obama’s second term. Larry Bartels offers a sobering account of the barriers to change posed by partisan ideologies and the political power of the wealthy. He also provides new analyses of tax policy, partisan differences in economic performance, the struggle to raise the minimum wage, and inequalities in congressional representation. President Obama identified inequality as "the defining challenge of our time." Unequal Democracy is the definitive account of how and why our political system has failed to rise to that challenge. Now more than ever, this is a book every American needs to read.

On Some Of The Precautions Requisite In The Use Of Statistics In Economic Reasonings. 1. Conditions of the reliability of statistical data.-- If arguments based on statistics are to be of any value, particular attention must be paid to the following points: (a) the sources from which the statistics are obtained, with special reference to their reliability; (6) their true meaning and significance; (c) their completeness or incompleteness as covering the whole range of the phenomena to which they relate; (d) the manner of their grouping, with special reference to the taking of averages. Each of these points may be briefly considered in turn1. The initial difficulty in the use of statistics is the possible inaccuracy of the original data. Statistics may be obtained and published officially, or they may be collected through private channels. Under the former of these conditions, the accuracy of the figures is sometimes practically unquestionable; as, for example, in the case of railway 1 In what follows I am specially indebted to Dr Giffen's Essays in Finance, First and Second Series; to papers on Statistics by Professor R. M. Smith in the Political Science Quarterly, the Quarterly Journal of Economics, and the Publications of the American Economic Association; and to various papers in the Journal of the Statistical Society. traffic receipts. But this is by no means the universal rule, even when official statistics are forthcoming. Thus up to 1854 the values of imports into this country were calculated at the prices of the early part of the eighteenth century. From 1854 to 1870 they were officially computed according to the best information obtainable. At the present time the values of both imports and exports are...

Download or read book The American Political Economy written by Marc Allen Eisner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy debates are often grounded within the conceptual confines of a state-market dichotomy, as though the two existed in complete isolation. In this innovative text, Marc Allen Eisner portrays the state and the market as inextricably linked, exploring the variety of institutions subsumed by the market and the role that the state plays in creating the institutional foundations of economic activity. Through a historical approach, Eisner situates the study of American political economy within a larger evolutionary-institutional framework that integrates perspectives in American political development and economic sociology. This volume provides a rich understanding of the complexity of U.S. economic policy, explaining how public policies become embedded in bureaucracy and reinforced by organized beneficiaries and public expectations. This path-dependent layering process helps students better understand the underlying historical dynamics, which provide a clearer sense of the constraints faced by policymakers now and in the future. The revisions to the second edition include: Complete rewrite of the chapter on the recent financial crisis, adding in commentary on the debt ceiling, the fiscal cliff, and other recent events. New material added and existing material updated in the chapter discussing the two welfare states. Extensive updates to the coverage of the global economy Expanded and updated discussion of Obama’s economic policies. Updates to figures and data throughout the text.
