Download or read book The Dragon s Underbelly written by Nhu Truong and published by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. This book was released on 2023-01-13 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows why Vietnam has not become the dragon it is often touted to be. The team of authors include both long-time observers and junior scholars who present cutting-edge research on the latest trends as well as major challenges facing the country’s economy and political system. As Vietnam seeks to escape from poverty and the legacies of mistaken socialist policies, its economy has become fully integrated into the global economy. Yet, without an effective and far-sighted leadership, it is still occupying a low position in the global value chains and becoming increasingly dependent on China. Politically, after three decades of reform, the Vietnamese Communist Party’s grip on power has well adapted to the market economy, but is confronting deep vulnerabilities as observed in its eroding ability to control workers, the media, public universities, and state-owned enterprises. The book also includes a section that applies formal and statistical methods to compare Vietnam with China in two critical areas of political accountability and anti-corruption policy.

Download or read book More COMMON Sense written by Ken English and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is no longer the "Home of the Brave and Land of the Free." Americans are being stripped of our blood-bought rights and freedoms by greedy and incompetent politicians. Excessive taxes are reducing average citizens to government slaves. Gross mismanagement of our tax dollars and senseless borrowing from other countries are bankrupting America. An effort to redistribute wealth has instead resulted in a distribution of poverty. There are two houses that need attention in America today. One is the White House. The other is "Our House," the American home. By correcting the problems that emanate from these houses, we will solve a multitude of problems. This book offers realistic and Common-Sense solutions for many of the evils that threaten to destroy America. These solutions are presented using humorous stories from the Author's past and well-researched statistics on education, welfare, and government policy. "Common-sense needs to be renamed, uncommon sense because we now live in a country that doesn't seem to have it anymore. Those who have common-sense today almost possess a super power! This book does a great job of revisiting and hopefully teaching a new generation the power of common-sense." Rick Burgess. Co-host of the Rick and Bubba Show "Ken English has written a treatise on America that everyone who loves this country needs to read. Not only is it a work outlining the underlying problems we must address in our generation, but also, it is a book that offers solutions-solutions that will work! Packed with quotable quips and anecdotal explications, MORE COMMON SENSE is a must-read for every patriot." Carl Gallups. Author of Magic Man in the Sky.

Download or read book The Land Development Game in China written by Jianbo Ma and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes how land plays a central role in the rapid economic growth of a Chinese region (with the fictitious name of "Dragon County"). Concerned with grain self-sufficiency, the national government of China employs a central planning approach to control the amount of farmland to be converted to urban uses each year. However, the scarcity of land development rights creates high incentives for various local players to evade national policies. Supported by a large number of specific examples, the book illustrates how local players adopt many kinds of strategies to engage in informal land development, and how the national government maneuvers its policies such that both farmland protection and economic growth objectives are achieved. The story of Dragon County, though not necessarily representative of other Chinese regions, suggests that the existing land system has worked reasonably well in promoting land use efficiency and economic growth at the same time, but the distributional problems created reflect a strong need for changing the rules of the game.

Download or read book When Women Held the Dragon s Tongue written by Hermann Rebel and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Peasants tell tales,” one prominent cultural historian tells us (Robert Darnton). Scholars must then determine and analyze what it is they are saying and whether or not to incorporate such tellings into their histories and ethnographies. Challenging the dominant culturalist approach associated with Clifford Geertz and Marshall Sahlins among others, this book presents a critical rethinking of the philosophical anthropologies found in specific histories and ethnographies and thereby bridges the current gap between approaches to studies of peasant society and popular culture. In challenging the methodology and theoretical frameworks currently used by social scientists interested in aspects of popular culture, the author suggests a common discursive ground can be found in an historical anthropology that recognizes how myths, fairytales and histories speak to a universal need for imagining oneself in different timescapes and for linking one’s local world with a “known” larger world.
