The Celtic Tiger In Distress: Growth with Inequality in Ireland

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Ireland`s `Celtic Tiger` economy has been held up as a model of successful development in a globalized world, offering lessons for other late developing countries. This book interrogates the principal theoretical approaches which have been used to analyze the Celtic Tiger, particularly neo-classical economics, and finds them inadequate to capture its ambiguities or address its developmental deficit. Drawing on the work of Karl Polanyi in particular, the book captures more fully the ways in which the Irish state has made itself subservient to market forces. [detailed...]

The Celtic Tiger: The Myth of Social Partnership in Ireland

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Ireland is today`s success story, a `Celtic Tiger` where the free market brings unprecedented wealth and opportunity. This book looks below the surface to discover a discontented majority who do not share in this prosperity. The booming economy, built on US investments attracted by the prospect of tax cuts, has led to a weakening in social services and a deterioration of quality of life. Cities are gridlocked because of poor public transportation, and housing crises have left 150,000 people in need of adequate accommodation. This critical look brings its class divisions into sharp focus to challenge many myths about Ireland`s success story. [detailed...]

The Celys and Their World: An English Merchant Family of the Fifteenth Century

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the start of his career as a young woolmerchant, about 1473, George Cely was a hoarder. He kept everything, from important business accounts down to the scrap of paper on which his father had once noted that the brewer and tailor hadn`t been paid yet. The result is a rich collection, which not merely documents the Cely family`s activities as staplers and ship-owners, but also gives vivid details of their intimate concerns: what they ate and wore, where they lived, how they spent their money - and where they went for loans when the cash ran short - how they amused themselves, and how they coped with trade recessions and political turmoil at home and abroad. This is the first comprehensive study to be based on the material. [detailed...]

The Centenary Corbiere: Selected Poems and Prose (Fyfield Books)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionTristan Corbiere (1845-1875) evoked the peasants and sailors of his native Brittany, the bohemians and prostitutes of Paris, in a vivid, fast-paced language that gave a new voice to French poetry and made him a pivotal figure in the development of Modernism, Symbolism and Surrealism. Ezra Pound called him `the greatest poet of the period` and T.S. Eliot wrote that `Rimbaud, Corbiere and Laforgue were for us the masters`. They admired his directness, colloquialism and allusiveness, the combination of empathy with savage irony. Through his influence on Pound and Eliot, Corbiere made a lasting impact on the poetry of both England and America. This parallel text edition enables the reader to experience Corbiere`s dazzling,innovative technique and wordplay at first hand. Val Warner provides an essential introduction to the work of this key poet. [detailed...]

Description: The 9/11 attacks, the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, and the oil boom of recent years have greatly increased the strategic importance of resource-rich Central Asia, making an understanding of its economic--and therefore political--prospects more important than ever. In The Central Asian Economies Since Independence , Richard Pomfret provides a concise and up-to-date analysis of the huge changes undergone by the economies of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The book assesses the economic prospects of each country, and the likelihood that economic conditions will spur major political changes. With independent chapters on each country, and chapters analyzing their comparative economic performance, the book highlights similarities and differences.

Description: As economic advisor to the Bank of England for many years, C. A. E. Goodhart is uniquely positioned to assess the role of the central bank in the modern financial system. This book brings together twenty-one of his previously published articles dealing with the changing functions of central banks over time, recent efforts to maintain price stability, and debates over specific financial regulation proposals in the UK. Although the current day-to-day operations of central banks are subject to continuous comment and frequent criticism, their structural role within the economic system as a whole has generally been accepted without much question, despite several attempts by economists in recent decades to challenge the value of the institution. C. A. E. Goodhart brings his knowledge of both the theoretical arguments and the actual working of central banks to bear in these essays. Part I looks at the general purposes and functions of central banks within the financial system… [detailed...]

How can we use the forces that shape cultural change, such as religion, education, and political leadership, to promote these values in the Third World--and for underachieving minorities in the First World? In this book, Lawrence E. Harrison offers intriguing answers to these questions, in a valuable follow-up to his acclaimed Culture Matters. Drawing on a three-year research project that explored the cultural values of dozens of nations--from Botswana, Sweden, and India to China, Egypt, and Chile--Harrison offers a provocative look at values around the globe, revealing how each nation`s culture has propelled or retarded their political and economic progress.
