Robert Wright
The Evolution of God

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this sweeping narrative that takes us from the Stone Age to the Information Age, Robert Wright unveils an astonishing discovery: there is a hidden pattern that the great monotheistic faiths have followed as they have evolved. Through the prisms of archaeology, theology, and evolutionary psychology, Wright`s findings overturn basic assumptions about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and are sure to cause controversy. He explains why spirituality has a role today, and why science, contrary to conventional wisdom, affirms the validity of the religious quest. And this previously unrecognized evolutionary logic points not toward continued religious extremism, but future harmony. Nearly a decade in the making, The Evolution of God is a breathtaking re-examination of the past, and a visionary look forward. [detailed...]

The Evolution of Industrial Districts

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionItalian industrial districts (IDs) recently attracted international attention because their performance during the last few decades contradicted the alleged weakness of industrial structures based on SMEs in `traditional` sectors. The book analyses some developments taking place in Italian IDs and local systems of production that can represent a new stage of evolution for the backbone of the Italian economy. Based on the extensive use of original databases three main trajectories of change in IDs are presented. The first trajectory is the increasing role of `groups` of manufacturing SMEs arising from mergers and acquisitions as well as spin-off growth processes at the `family firms` level. The second one is the consolidation of innovationcapabilities in IDs. And the third one is the internationalisation process of Italian IDs through both trade and foreign direct investment. The essays suggest that Italian IDs are again evolving by coherent adaptations which will have,… [detailed...]

Richard Joyce
The Evolution of Morality

2006 y.
Publisher: The MIT Press
Description: Moral thinking pervades our practical lives, but where did this way of thinking come from, and what purpose does it serve? Is it to be explained by environmental pressures on our ancestors a million years ago, or is it a cultural invention of more recent origin? In The Evolution of Morality, Richard Joyce takes up these controversial questions, finding that the evidence supports an innate basis to human morality. As a moral philosopher, Joyce is interested in whether any implications follow from this hypothesis. Might the fact that the human brain has been biologically prepared by natural selection to engage in moral judgment serve in some sense to vindicate this way of thinking--staving off the threat of moral skepticism, or even undergirding some version of moral realism? Or if morality has an adaptive explanation in genetic terms--if it is, as Joyce writes, `just something that helped our ancestors make more babies`--might such an explanation actually undermine morality`s central… [detailed...]

The Evolution of Resource Property Rights

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book traces the development of the standard property rights over five kinds of natural resource - inland rivers, ocean fisheries, petroleum resources, gold and base metals and forest resources - from classical times through to the 19th century. Completely private resources and those in the public (or Crown) lands are given equal attention and a simple supply-and-demand model is used to explain how property rights are altered over time. Scott also provides the reader with a unique set of characteristics for defining rights and numerous case studies and examples of their evolution, highlighting the increasing recourse to common law courts and government legislation and the problems caused by competing demands on the same, limited resources. This book provides a unique insight into the historical development of property rights and makes a special plea for the multiple-purpose and multi-owner management of resource rights. It will provide a valuable resource for those interested in… [detailed...]

Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: Winner of the 1998 Paul A.Samuelson Award given by TIAA-CREF, The Evolution of Retirement is the first comprehensive economic history of retirement in America. With life expectancies steadily increasing, the retirement rate of men over age 64 has risen drastically. Dora L. Costa looks at factors underlying this increase and shows the dramatic implications of her findings for both the general public and the U.S. government. Using statistical, and demographic concepts, Costa sheds light on such important topics as rising incomes and retirement, work and disease, the job prospects of older workers, living arrangements of the elderly, the development of a retirement lifestyle, and pensions and politics. `[Costa`s] major contribution is to show that, even without Social Security and Medicare, retirement would have expanded dramatically.`-Robert J.Samuelson, New Republic `An important book on a topic which has become popular with historians and is of major… [detailed...]

The Evolution of the Trade Regime: Politics, Law, and Economics of the GATT and the WTO

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Evolution of the Trade Regime offers a comprehensive political-economic history of the development of the world`s multilateral trade institutions, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and its successor, the World Trade Organization (WTO). While other books confine themselves to describing contemporary GATT/WTO legal rules or analyzing their economic logic, this is the first to explain the logic and development behind these rules. The book begins by examining the institutions` rules, principles, practices, and norms from their genesis in the early postwar period to the present. It evaluates the extent to which changes in these institutional attributes have helped maintain or rebuild domestic constituencies for open markets. The book considers these questions by looking at the political, legal, and economic foundations of the trade regime from many angles. The authors conclude that throughout most of GATT/WTO history, power politics fundamentally… [detailed...]

The Evolving Bargain: Strategic Implications of Deregulation and Privatization

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Managing Opportunity and Risk in the New Market Economy Over the last two decades, deregulation and privatization have swept the globe, opening up a wide range of markets to private investment and heightened competition. But while the government`s role in these sectors has diminished, it has not disappeared-a critical factor companies must consider as they seek to exploit burgeoning opportunities in these markets. The Evolving Bargain provides the first in-depth look at the impact of deregulation and privatization on managers` strategic agendas in industries around the world. Emmons emphasizes that these reforms are not one-time events, but dynamic processes that shape the ongoing relationship, or bargain, between governments and affected enterprises. He also shows how the contexts of both industry and country influence a firm`s strategic options and performance outcomes within its evolving bargain. Based on extensive research and interviews with over 150… [detailed...]

The Evolving Corporation : A Humanist Interpretation

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Long the dominant organization of western civilization, the modern corporation is now obsolete, says Cook, and is being replaced by a new system of human organization, one that reflects no less than the changing aspects of society itself. Cook`s eloquent, elegant analysis and critique offers a true challenge to corporations, calling them a rationalistic contradiction of religion and science that is unsustainable. Instead, he proposes an alternative form of organization, `syntagma` he calls it, that is emerging now and shows signs of becoming successful. His book is a provocative contribution to the professional and academic literature of several fields, including management, the social sciences, organizational behavior, development, history, and will have special interest to certain well informed nonspecialists with an interest in the role played by corporations in their societies.

The Evolving Global Trade Architecture

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This comprehensive and accessible book examines the evolution of the multilateral trade regime in the ever-changing global economic environment, particularly during the WTO era and the ongoing Doha Round. Professor Das explores how the creation of the multilateral trade regime, or the GATT/WTO system, has been fraught with difficulties. He describes the ways, by means of various rounds of negotiations, the multilateral trade regime has constantly adjusted itself to the new realities of the global economy. One glance at the recent history indicates that the evolution of the multilateral trade regime was far from even-handed and steady. The GATT/WTO system was repeatedly pushed to the brink of utter and ignominious disaster. Yet, as the author illustrates, the participating economies persevered. Consequently, the fabric of multilateral trade regime is stronger, its foundation deeper and its framework wider now than it was a generation ago. Unlike the GATT era,… [detailed...]
