Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Economic Development Finance, Third Edition, begins where we left off in 2011-2012 when the global economies were hurting financially. It is a new day as we approach the third decade of the 21st center. Issues that could not be solved unless sufficient money was available have generally moved to the sidelines as countries, states, cities, counties, businesses and citizens have come together to find a better future. We believe that "hope and change" is existing in the lives of people and communities with a "hands-on" approach for public-private partnerships. The deal is alive - the players are changing. Adding in the newer tools for policymakers, community leaders, developers, and lenders to prepare and evaluate the strategic business plans, additional investment dollars come into play. The author, a highly experienced economic development finance professional, walks the reader through each step of the financial plan for public-private partnerships, starting with the proposal, goal setting, clear objectives, organizational development, venture selection, and all facets of financial analysis, risk assessment and project implementation. The book includes case studies, real-world examples, checklists, and exercises, together with the steps to prepare a business plan to meet the needs of urban and rural communities across the globe. We have been puzzled by the inability of many to use successfully the tools that are common for businesses. But today, leadership is spread among policymakers, community leaders, developers, and lenders. Knowing where the money is and how to access it becomes central to any enterprise, regardless of whether it is a for-profit or nonprofit entity delivering a product or service. The book is an essential tool for policymakers, internal teams within the public and private sectors, for graduate students, and for seminars and conferences for policymakers, community leaders, developers, and lenders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-written book is the first to deal with entrepreneurship in all its aspects. It considers the economic, psychological, political, legal and cultural dimensions of entrepreneurship from a market-process perspective. David A Harper has produced a volume that analyses why some people are quicker than others in discovering profit opportunities. Importantly, the book also covers the issue of how cultural value systems orient entrepreneurial vision and, in contrast to conventional wisdom, the book argues that individualist cultural values are not categorically superior to group oriented values in terms of their consequences for entrepreneurial discovery.

Download or read book Economic Growth And Development Second Edition written by Hendrik Van Den Berg and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 890 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook covers the full range of topics and issues normally included in a course on economic growth and development. Both mainstream economic perspectives as well as the multi-paradigmatic, inter-disciplinary, and dynamic-evolutionary perspectives from heterodox economics are detailed. Economic development is viewed in terms of the long-run well-being of humanity, social stability, environmental sustainability, and just distribution of economic gains, not simply as the growth of GDP. Furthermore, this textbook explicitly recognizes the complexity of economic development by linking economic activity to our broader social and natural environments.The textbook's unique feature is its focus on the natural environment. Both the historical effects of economic development on the environment and the environmental constraints on future economic development are thoroughly discussed in two chapters on environmental issues and policies. In fact, because economic development is defined in terms of economic, social, and environmental sustainability, the natural environment is included in discussions throughout the book.The textbook is inter-disciplinary: knowledge from fields such as sociology, psychology, political science, economic history, and ecology is called on to enhance the economic analysis. A thorough historical account of the development of the principal paradigms of economic development is also included, and the important issues of institutional development and cultural change merit their own chapters. Two chapters on technological change holistically focus on production technologies as well as the dynamic performance of entire economic, social, and ecological systems. Also, the important relationship between economic development and globalization is presented in three chapters on international trade, international finance and investment, and immigration from both orthodox and heterodox perspectives.
