Description: Book Description This new edition of a classic feminist book explains how one of thegreat historical revolutions--the ongoing movement toward equalitybetween the sexes--has come about. Its origins are to found, not inchanging ideas, but in the economic developments that have made women`slabor too valuable to be spent exclusively in domestic pursuits. Therevolution is unfinished, new arrangements are needed to fightstill-prevalent discrimination in the workplace, to achieve a more justsharing of housework and child care between women and men, and, with the weakening of marriage, to re-erect a firm economicbasis for the raising of children. In this new edition, Bergmann provides an update on women`s economic situation today and ultimately proves her argument is as relevant and essential today as it was when this book was first published this book in 1986.

The Economic Factor in International Relations (Library of International Relations)

Publisher: —
Description: Economics no longer forms the backdrop to world events but rather appears to drive foreign policy and represents a more powerful resource than military strength. If globalization is irreversible, then conquering markets is much more important than conquering territory. These are the claims made about economics in world affairs, both by policy analysts and by armchair philosophers. This book examines these claims critically shows how political agendas and speculation have formed many of our current assumptions about the workings of economics in the world today. [detailed...]

The Economic Future in Historical Perspective (British Academy Centenary Monographs)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this volume, leading modern economic historians show how analysis of past experiences contributes to a better understanding of present-day economic conditions, they offer important insights into major challenges that will occupy the attention of policy makers in the coming decades. The seventeen essays are organised around three major themes, the first of which is the changing constellation of forces sustaining long-run economic growth in market economies. The second major theme concerns the contemporary challenges posed by transitions in economic and political regimes, and by ideologies that represent legacies from past economic conditions that still affect policy responses to new `crises`. The third theme is modern economic growth`s diverse implications for human economic welfare - in terms of economic security, nutritional and health status, and old age support - and the institutional mechanisms communities have developed to cope with the risks that individuals are exposed to by… [detailed...]

The Economic Impact of Counterfeiting and Piracy

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Responding to concerns in governments and the business community, the OECD launched a project in 2005 to assess the magnitude and impact of counterfeiting and piracy. The objective of the project was to improve factual understanding and awareness of how large the problem is and the effects that infringements of intellectual property rights have on governments, business and consumers in member countries and non-member economies. This study develops and applies a rigorous methodology to estimate the incidence of counterfeit and pirated items in world trade. This methodology can be used in the future to refine the assessment as the quality and quantity of data improve. The study also provides an analysis of the market for counterfeit and pirated goods and the effects on various affected parties, ranging from the owners of the intellectual property rights, to consumers and governments. The study also provides a number of in-depth snapshots of different industry sectors, highlighting how… [detailed...]

The Economic Impact of Knowledge (Resources for the Knowledge-Based Economy)

Description: Series: Resources for the Knowledge-Based Economy What happens to our understanding of economics when the vast majority of people within our economy are employed to create ideas, solve problems, or market and sell services rather than to produce tangible goods? How do we measure non-financial `intangibles` such as human capital or the effect of R&,D? This anthology explores how economists and public policy makers are re-thinking the way in which governments measure, monitor, and influence an economy in an unbounded global environment where output is largely intangible and organizations are becoming increasingly `non-national` in scope. Through a collection of seminal articles written by prominent business people, academics, and public policy makers, this three-part anthology examines the key issues surrounding the economic impact of knowledge-based growth, including: * preparing for the effects of technological change * understanding the change in traditional… [detailed...]

The Economic Impacts Of Population Ageing In Japan (Esri Studies Series on Ageing)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWhile all of the major industrialized countries are currently experiencing population aging, Japan is at the forefront of this demographic trend. This important new book explores the serious economic and social challenges that a rapidly aging Japanese economy will have to overcome in the first half of the 21st century. Following a comprehensive review of the economics of aging both in general and in Japan, the authors present a range of future scenarios produced using an integrated economic-demographic model. This unique model integrates demography and the macro-economy, paying special attention to pensions, health care, and long-term care. The results reveal that, even if future demographic trends are more favorable than predicted, Japan will still experience a slowdown of economic growth, reduced savings, and rising costs of pensions, health care and long-term care. However, with appropriate policy measures and rapid implementation, the authors believe that a… [detailed...]

The Economic Impacts of Terrorist Attacks

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Focussing on the economics of terrorism in the post 9/11 world, this book brings together original research based on the collaborative efforts of leading economists and planners. The authoritative and expert contributors use a variety of methodological approaches and apply them to different types of terrorist attacks (on airports, highways, seaports, electric power infrastructure, for example). They also draw analogies between man-made and natural disasters. The results suggest that these issues are extremely complex and that the economic costs of some types of attack are huge, but that increased understanding and estimation can be used to justify resource investments in prevention, mitigation and response. A primary aim of the book is to contribute to developing more cost-effective anti-terrorist policies. Scholars and researchers in the fields of transportation, public sector economics, urban planning, disaster prevention, mitigation and management, and engineers will find… [detailed...]

The Economic Implications of Aging Societies: The Costs of Living Happily Ever After

Description: The world is getting older and no one knows exactly what life will be like in tomorrow`s older societies. But we do know that age dependency ratios--the ratio of retirees to workers--will be much higher than we see today. The combined effects of fewer workers, more retirees and longer retirement periods threaten not only the sustainability of pension systems but also the broader economic prospects of many developed countries. This analysis describes current trends in birth rates, longevity and labor force participation and productivity, the cross-border flow of capital, the globalization of labor markets, the financial viability of social insurance programs, and the ways economic output is shared between working-age and retiree populations.

The Economic Integration of Greater China: Real and Financial Linkages and the Prospects for Currency Union

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The success of China`s program of economic reform and the rapid integration of China into the global economy has prompted this study on the degree of economic and financial integration between China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan - a grouping sometimes referred to as Greater China. Since real and financial integration has substantial implications on the efficiency of resource allocation and efficacy of macroeconomics policy, this volume offers clear analysis of the current state of economic integration of Greater China, which will help gauge the potential role of China on the global economy. It also includes complementary discussions on the interactions between China and several Pacific Rim economies, namely, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and the United States. In addition to using the standard approach to analyzing economic integration, the authors also evaluate the prospect of a currency union in Greater China, the most extreme form of integration. Prospects of China`s continued integration… [detailed...]

The Economic Limits to Modern Politics (Murphy Institute Studies in Political Economy)

Description: The central problem of modern government and political action is how to choose and implement effective economic policies. For this reason, the economic considerations of public policy have assumed a more prominent place in contemporary political thought.Despite efforts among political scientists, economists, and sociologists to fathom the complexities of this added dimension, none of these solid sciences offers a satisfying approach to the problem. This volume attempts to display the historical novelty and intellectual importance of this dilemma, to uncover its origins, and to procure a remedy through a clearer and steadier focus. The book`s contributors range from historians of ideas to economic theorists, who bring the approach of their own intellectual discipline to bear upon the issue. [detailed...]

The Economic North-South Divide: Six Decades of Unequal Development

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since the 1940s, development thinking has been the subject of fierce debate and continual evolution. This book, now available in paperback, traces the ideas that have driven changing approaches to development. It focuses also on the Prebisch-Singer Thesis, which seeks to explain the widening gaps between rich and poor nations caused by unequal distribution of trade benefits. They discuss both aid during and after the cold war, and the rise and subsequent liberalization crisis of the Asian ?Tiger Economies?. The Economic North-South Divide goes on to explore the structural roots of the debt crisis and considers the impact of debt management on North-South economic relations, exposing certain double standards that tilt global markets further against the South. Encouraged by recent successful opposition to neoliberalism, the authors finally propose ideas for a world where people seem to matter. This book is a welcome addition to the debate and will appeal to anyone… [detailed...]

Description: East Asia`s dynamic entrance into the global economy has provided a fruitful avenue for research in economic sociology. In this perceptive and timely volume, the authors theorize Asian capitalism and analyze the economic organization of East Asia. Presenting differing dimensions of a Weberian perspective, the authors first provide a theoretical grounding, then consider capitalism in East Asia comparatively, and finally contrast the economies of East Asia and Europe. The book shows how radically different social and cultural institutions can lead to economies that are organized in remarkably similar ways. [detailed...]

The Economic Person : Principles and Practice

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Early scholars, perceiving economics as the praxis of persons, emphasized their obligation to share economic goods, to use them prudently and lawfully and to trade or lend them justly. As notional economics grew and became more complex, scholars like Adam Smith perceived economics as a science of human conduct and relations with its own principles of operation. It reflected the secular, amoral and empirical Zeitgeist of the 19th century, demoting homo economicus into a mere economic agent without moral principles. This book focuses on the human person as a whole self-conscious spirit and a whole material body rather than an economic agent. From this point of view, economic values come under scrutiny. Common practice and ideals are reinterpreted when self-interest melds with `other-interest` to generate economic well-being. [detailed...]
