Manuel Hinds
Playing Monopoly with the Devil: Dollarization and Domestic Currencies in Developing Countries

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Why should a developing country surrender its power to create money by adopting an international currency as its own? This comprehensive book explores the currency problems that developing countries face and offers sound, practical advice for policy makers on how to deal with them. Manuel Hinds, who has extensive experience in real-world economic policy making, challenges the myths that surround domestic currencies and shows the clear rationality for dollarization or the use of a standard international currency. A The book opens with an entertaining story of the Devil, who, through a series of common macroeconomic maneuvers, coaches the president of a mythical country into financial ruin. This ruler’s path is not unlike that taken in several real developing countries, to their detriment. Hinds goes on to introduce new ways of thinking about financial systems and monetary behavior in Third World countries. [detailed...]

Playing Politics with Science: Balancing Scientific Independence and Government Oversight (Practical and Professional Ethics)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the last decade, science in the United States has become increasingly politicized, as government officials have been accused of manipulating, distorting, subverting, and censoring science for ideological purposes. Political gamesmanship has played a major role in many different areas of science, including the debate over global climate change, embryonic stem cell research, government funding of research, the FDA`s approval process, military intelligence related to Iraq, research with human subjects, and the teaching of evolution in public schools. In Playing Politics with Science, David B. Resnik explores the philosophical, political, and ethical issues related to the politicalization of science and develops a conceptual framework for thinking about government restrictions on scientific practice. Resnik argues that the public has a right and a duty to oversee scientific research to protect important social values and hold scientists accountable for their actions, but that… [detailed...]

Playing for Life: Performance in Africa in the Age of AIDS

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionPlaying for Life is a survey of African performance that uses the focal lens of AIDS performances to examine performance more generally on the African continent. The aim of Playing for Life is threefold. First, the work attempts to provide an introduction to the study of Africa through performance suitable for undergraduate students. Second, it attempts to supply a sampling of Africa`s rich performative resources. And third, it tries to show how Africans are working to harness the energy of performance to help solve the most terrible of contemporary problems, the AIDS pandemic. This book focuses chiefly on the AIDS epidemic/AIDS performances in two African countries, South Africa and Mali. The choice is a reflective of a need to provide at least two different case views of African performance and African performative response to the AIDS crisis. The countries, so divergent from one another by most social indicators??economy, religion, geography and… [detailed...]

Description: Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In the AFC Championship game, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go. Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock - and was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams. But all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent find a team that needs him. Against enormous odds. Rick finally gets a job - as the starting quarterback for the Mighty Panthers… of Parma, Italy. The Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player - any former NFL player - at their helm. And now they`ve got Rick, who knows nothing about Parma (not even where it is) and doesn`t speak a word of Italian. To say that Italy - the land of fine wines, extremely small cars, and football Americano - holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would… [detailed...]

Playing for Real: A Text on Game Theory

2007 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Ken Binmore`s previous game theory textbook, Fun and Games (D.C. Heath, 1991), carved out a significant niche in the advanced undergraduate market, it was intellectually serious and more up-to-date than its competitors, but also accessibly written. Its central thesis was that game theory allows us to understand many kinds of interactions between people, a point that Binmore amply demonstrated through a rich range of examples and applications. This replacement for the now out-of-date 1991 textbook retains the entertaining examples, but changes the organization to match how game theory courses are actually taught, making Playing for Real a more versatile text that almost all possible course designs will find easier to use, with less jumping about than before. In addition, the problem sections, already used as a reference by many teachers, have become even more clever and varied, without becoming too technical. Playing for Real will sell into advanced undergraduate courses in game… [detailed...]

Description: In the 1980s and 1990s, Nicolas Jabko suggests, the character of European integration altered radically, from slow growth to what he terms a `quiet revolution.` In this book he traces the political strategy that underlay the move from the Single Market of 1986 through the official creation of the European Union in 1992 to the coming of the euro in 1999. The official, shared language of the political forces behind this revolution was that of market reforms?yet, as Jabko notes, this was a very strange `market` revolution, one that saw the building of massive new public institutions designed to regulate economic activity, such as the Economic and Monetary Union, and deeper liberalization in economic areas unaffected by external pressure than in truly internationalized sectors of the European economy. What held together this remarkably diverse reform movement? Precisely because `the market` wasn`t a single standard, the agenda of market reforms gained the support of a vast and… [detailed...]
