Download or read book Supply Side Follies written by Robert D. Atkinson and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2006-10-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply-Side Follies is a progressive political and economic challenge to the current George W. Bush policies. It debunks commonly held assumptions of conservative economic policies centered on the obsession that tax cuts led to greater productivity and prosperity. These fundamentally flawed policies are setting the United States up for a major economic downturn in the near future. The 21st century knowledge economy requires a fundamentally different approach to boosting growth than simply cutting taxes on the richest investors. The alternative is not, however, to resurrect old Keynesian, populist economics as too many Democrats hope to do. Rather, as Rob Atkinson makes clear, our long-term national welfare and prosperity depends on new economic strategy that fits the realities of the 21st century global, knowledge-based economy: innovation-based growth economics.

Book excerpt: The history we can't afford to forget. At last, the definitive history of supply-side economics—an incredibly timely work that reveals the foundations of America's prosperity when those very foundations are under attack. In the riveting, groundbreaking book Econoclasts, historian Brian Domitrovic tells the remarkable story of the economists, journalists, Washington staffers, and (ultimately) politicians who showed America how to get out of the 1970s stagflation and ushered in an unprecedented quarter-century run of growth and opportunity. Based on the author's years of archival research, Econoclasts is a masterful narrative history in the tradition of Amity Shlaes's The Forgotten Man and John Steele Gordon's An Empire of Wealth.

Download or read book Foundations of Supply Side Economics written by Victor A. Canto and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations of Supply-Side Economics: Theory and Evidence is composed of a series of papers containing both theoretical and empirical analyses of a set of issues in government fiscal policy. The type of analysis employed in the book is standard neoclassical economics, and this analysis is used to study the macroeconomic incentive effects of taxation. The book contains contributions that cover the analysis of the effects of taxes imposed purely for generating revenues; the process of capital formation; and an attempt to integrate supply-side analysis into a traditional macroeconomic framework. Reports on the empirical evidence on taxation and economic activity and the estimation of a small macroeconomic model of the United States for the postwar period; description of a method of calculating effective marginal tax rates on factor incomes using available U.S. data; and the estimation of the effect of fiscal policy on private investment in plant and equipment are presented as well. Economists will find the book highly insightful.
Download or read book The Supply Side of Security written by Tongfi Kim and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-13 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Supply Side of Security conceptualizes military alliances as contracts for exchanging goods and services. At the international level, the market for these contracts is shaped by how many countries can supply security. Tongfi Kim identifies the supply of policy concessions and military commitments as the main factors that explain the bargaining power of a state in a potential or existing alliance. Additionally, three variables of a state's domestic politics significantly affect its negotiating power: whether there is strong domestic opposition to the alliance, whether the state's leader is pro-alliance, and whether that leader is vulnerable. Kim then looks beyond existing alliance literature, which focuses on threats, to produce a deductive theory based on analysis of how the global power structure and domestic politics affect alliances. As China becomes stronger and the U.S. military budget shrinks, The Supply Side of Security shows that these countries should be understood not just as competing threats, but as competing security suppliers.

Download or read book Supply Side Sustainability written by Timothy F. H. Allen and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-19 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While environmentalists insist that lower rates of consumption of natural resources are essential for a sustainable future, many economists dismiss the notion that resource limits act to constrain modern, creative societies. The conflict between these views tinges political debate at all levels and hinders our ability to plan for the future. Supply-Side Sustainability offers a fresh approach to this dilemma by integrating ecological and social science approaches in an interdisciplinary treatment of sustainability. Written by two ecologists and an anthropologist, this book discusses organisms, landscapes, populations, communities, biomes, the biosphere, ecosystems and energy flows, as well as patterns of sustainability and collapse in human societies, from hunter-gatherer groups to empires to today's industrial world. These diverse topics are integrated within a new framework that translates the authors' advances in hierarchy and complexity theory into a form useful to professionals in science, government, and business. The result is a much-needed blueprint for a cost-effective management regime, one that makes problem-solving efforts themselves sustainable over time. The authors demonstrate that long-term, cost-effective resource management can be achieved by managing the contexts of productive systems, rather than by managing the commodities that natural systems produce.
Download or read book Riding the Populist Wave written by Tim Bale and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of the fact that Conservative, Christian democratic and Liberal parties continue to play a crucial role in the democratic politics and governance of every Western European country, they are rarely paid the attention they deserve. This cutting-edge comparative collection, combining qualitative case studies with large-N quantitative analysis, reveals a mainstream right squeezed by the need to adapt to both 'the silent revolution' that has seen the spread of postmaterialist, liberal and cosmopolitan values and the backlash against those values – the 'silent counter-revolution' that has brought with it the rise of a myriad far right parties offering populist and nativist answers to many of the continent's thorniest political problems. What explains why some mainstream right parties seem to be coping with that challenge better than others? And does the temptation to ride the populist wave rather than resist it ultimately pose a danger to liberal democracy?

Download or read book Debt and Crisis in Latin America written by Robert Devlin and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the causes of the acute Latin American debt crisis that began in mid-1982, North American analysts have typically focused on deficiencies in the debtor countries' economic policies and on shocks from the world economy. Much less emphasis has been placed on the role of the region's principal creditors--private banks--in the development of the crisis. Robert Devlin rounds out the story of Latin America's debt problem by demonstrating that the banks were an endogenous source of instability in the region's debt cycle, as they overexpanded on the upside and overcontracted on the downside.

Download or read book Demand Side Economics Demand Side Minds written by Alan Harvey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an economics that works, that rescued the nation from the depths of the Great Depression, that organized the mobilization of World War II, that executed a successful transition from war to peace, that built the peace into prosperity, that explained the instability and decline, and that predicted the Great Financial Crisis. This economics was abandoned, partly for the benefit of a corporate oligarchy which now controls public policy. This economics now points the way out of stagnation and uncertainty, and it embraces the challenges of world poverty and global climate change. This is the economics of John Maynard Keynes and the new Deal. Demand Side Economics draws the history and explains the thinking of nine great economists. This is a cogent treatment of complex events and concepts that will lead the reader to an understanding of what happened and why. The policy answers it projects are 180 degrees from the austerity, small government and bail-outs for the few that is the current path. Massive private debt has conspired with an orthodox economics that literally ignores that debt to put the world in a financial vise. Public policy is controlled by those who must save an architecture that cannot be saved. Markets have become casinos, with chips provided by central banks, whose players keep the winnings, but shift any losses onto the taxpayer. The foundations of sturdy, stable growth are ignored or abandoned to the detriment of all. Public goods, the Commons, the long-term survival of the planet, and the needs of the world's poor are not costs which must be minimized, but opportunities to create value and organize recovery. It is ignoring the great challenges that is truly unaffordable History, theory, evidence, presented clearly for the reader's own conclusions. We present John Maynard Keynes, the godfather of macoeconomics and Demand Side economics; Leon Keyserling, representing the New Deal and the successful transition from war to prosperity under Harry Truman John Kenneth Galbraith, with his unapologetic look at the character of affluence and the rise of the corporation; Hyman Minsky, exploring his financial instability hypothesis, the main line of Keynes into Finance; Joseph Stiglitz, looking at the cruel hoax of free market capitalism foisted on the developing world; James K. Galbraith, bringing insight into the capture of government by the corporation; George Soros, explaining how markets really work; Steve Keen, developing Minsky and Keynes into compelling economic models that actually predict real outcomes; Nouriel Roubini, taking apart the European debt and banking crisis, and presaging the trouble to come. The book suggest that central bankers do not understand how money is created. Market-first economists imagine an economy that does not exist. General equilibrium forecasters propose an invisible hand that does not exist. Elaborate mathematical expressions of the workings of the economy - "models" - present an elegant description, but of an entirely hypo¬thetical world. Whole schools of economic thought, scores of careers, thousands of academic papers and texts have been built on patently false assumptions. Models commonly used to predict, even in the aftermath of a financial crisis born in the banking system, do not include a banking sector. Massive private debt is ignored, while at the same time the public sector - government - is excoriated for somehow slipping back through time to be the cause of the financial crisis. Jobs, physical and social infrastructure, and preparation for a looming climate crisis are all deemed too expensive to buy directly. This is exactly wrong. The first error of orthodox economics is that the economy is constrained by resources. It is constrained by demand. Direct spending on these critical needs is the route out of this Second Depression. Substantial, disciplined, public demand can right the economy for all sectors, and for our collective future.
Download or read book The Ecology of Tax Systems written by Vito Tanzi and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book analyzes how the ecology of taxation is fundamental for the success or failure of tax systems. It specifically focuses on the role of the ecological environment on taxation; the factors that determine the ecology of taxation; and how the ecology of taxation has changed and may continue to evolve. The implicit, important conclusion is that there are no permanent or universal optimal tax theories: all theories are related to this ecology.
Download or read book Economics in One Lesson written by Henry Hazlitt and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2010-08-11 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over a million copies sold, Economics in One Lesson is an essential guide to the basics of economic theory. A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, Hazlitt defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day. Considered among the leading economic thinkers of the “Austrian School,” which includes Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich (F.A.) Hayek, and others, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), was a libertarian philosopher, an economist, and a journalist. He was the founding vice-president of the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of The Freeman magazine, an influential libertarian publication. Hazlitt wrote Economics in One Lesson, his seminal work, in 1946. Concise and instructive, it is also deceptively prescient and far-reaching in its efforts to dissemble economic fallacies that are so prevalent they have almost become a new orthodoxy. Economic commentators across the political spectrum have credited Hazlitt with foreseeing the collapse of the global economy which occurred more than 50 years after the initial publication of Economics in One Lesson. Hazlitt’s focus on non-governmental solutions, strong — and strongly reasoned — anti-deficit position, and general emphasis on free markets, economic liberty of individuals, and the dangers of government intervention make Economics in One Lesson every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.
