The Future of Money

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Is globalization leading us toward a world of fewer and fewer currencies and, consequently, simplified monetary management? Many specialists believe this is the case, as the territorial monopolies national governments have long claimed over money appears to be eroding. In The Future of Money , Benjamin Cohen argues that this view--which he calls the `Contraction Contention`--is wrong. Rigorously argued, written with extraordinary clarity, and thoroughly up-to-date, this book demonstrates that the global population of currencies is set to expand greatly, not contract, making monetary governance more difficult, not less. At the book`s core is an innovative theoretical model for understanding the strategic preferences of states in monetary management. Should governments defend their traditional monetary sovereignty, or should they seek some kind of regional consolidation of currencies? The model offers two broad advances. First, whereas most scholarly work evaluates… [detailed...]

The Future of North American Integration: Beyond Nafta

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: When it came into force in 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) joined the economic futures of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, with systematic rules governing trade and investment, dispute resolution, and economic relations. However, economic integration among the three countries extends considerably beyond trade and investment. The NAFTA agreement takes a very narrow view of integration, barely addressing such vital issues as immigration policy and labor markets, the energy sector, environmental protection, and law enforcement. The governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States now must confront the question of whether NAFTA is enough. Do they want to keep their trilateral relationship focused on economic matters or are they interested in integrating more deeply?perhaps initiating a process to build a North American Community similar to the European Union? This volume contains thoughtful discussions about the future of North America by… [detailed...]

The Future of Organized Labor in American Politics

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1995, promising a more active political presence for unions, John Sweeney was elected president of the AFL-CIO. Labor would develop a `new voice,` one that could not be ignored or taken for granted by Democratic and Republican politicians. However, by the summer of 2005 opposition to Sweeney`s leadership threatened to divide the labor movement. In The Future of Organized Labor in American Politics , Peter L. Francia discusses the effects of Sweeney`s controversial tenure as president and assesses labor`s influence on American political elections and legislation. Drawing on interviews with union and business leaders, as well as campaign-finance and public-opinion data, Francia argues that Sweeney has employed a more effective and expansive grassroots political operation than his predecessors. He challenges critics who dismiss Sweeney`s efforts as a failure but cautions that the decline in union membership presents a serious crisis for the labor movement. When… [detailed...]

The Future of Success: Working and Living in the New Economy

Publisher: —
Description: If you think it’s getting harder to both make a living and make a life, economist and former secretary of labor Robert Reich agrees with you. Americans may be earning more than ever before, but we’re paying a steep price: we’re working longer, seeing our families less, and our communities are fragmenting. With the clarity and insight that are his hallmarks, Reich delineates what success has come to mean in our time. He demonstrates that although we have more choices as consumers,and investors, the choices themselves are undermining the rest of our lives. It is getting harder for people to be confident of what they will be earning next year, or even next month. At the same time, our society is splitting into socially stratified enclaves--the wealthier walled off and gated, the poorer isolated and ignored. Although the trends he discusses are powerful, they are not irreversible, and Reich makes provocative suggestions for how we might create a more balanced… [detailed...]

The Future of Work: How the New Order of Business Will Shape Your Organization, Your Management Style and Your Life

Publisher: —
Description: A Pathbreaking Model for Building a New-and Far Better-World of Work For more than a decade, business thinkers have theorized about how technology will change the shape of organizations. In this landmark book, renowned organizational theorist Thomas Malone, codirector of MIT`s `Inventing the Organizations of the 21st Century` initiative, provides the first credible model for actually designing the company of the future. Based on twenty years of groundbreaking research, The Future of Work foresees a workplace revolution that will dramatically change organizational structures and the roles employees play in them. Malone argues that current notions about decentralization merely scratch the surface of what will be possible as technological andeconomic forces make `command and control` management increasingly less useful. In its place will be a more flexible `coordinate and cultivate` approach that will spawn new types of decentralized organizations-from internal… [detailed...]
