The Limits of Capitalism: An Approach to Globalization Without Neoliberalism

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is a trenchant critique of globalization under the sign of neo-liberal economic policies and is a powerful proposal for a different and democratic way forward. It argues that the political Achilles Heel of globalization is that it is taking place without the engagement of citizens at large, or even consulting them. The author argues that the neo-liberal mindset cannot appreciate the differences between economic efficiency and vitality or between productive and unproductive investment, and has no notion of the Common Good.

The Limits of Convergence: Globalization and Organizational Change in Argentina, South Korea, and Spain.

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book challenges the widely accepted notion that globalization encourages economic convergence--and, by extension, cultural homogenization--across national borders. A systematic comparison of organizational change in Argentina, South Korea, and Spainsince 1950 finds that global competition forces countries to exploit their distinctive strengths, resulting in unique development trajectories. Analyzing the social, political, and economic conditions underpinning the rise of various organizational forms, Guillen shows that business groups, small enterprises, and foreign multinationals play different economic roles depending on a country`s path to development. Business groups thrive when there is foreign-trade and investment protectionism and are best suited to undertake large-scale, capital-intensive activities such as automobile assembly and construction. Their growth and diversification come at the expense of smaller firms and foreign multinationals. In contrast, small and… [detailed...]

The Limits of Liberty: Between Anarchy and Leviathan

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: ` The Limits of Liberty is concerned mainly with two topics. One is an attempt to construct a new contractarian theory of the state, and the other deals with its legitimate limits. The latter is a matter of great practical importance and is ofno small significance from the standpoint of political philosophy.`--Scott Gordon, Journal of Political Economy James Buchanan offers a strikingly innovative approach to a pervasive problem of social philosophy. The problem is one of the classic paradoxes concerning man`s freedom in society: in order to protect individual freedom, the state must restrict each person`s right to act. Employing the techniques of modern economic analysis, Professor Buchanan reveals the conceptual basis of an individual`s social rights by examining the evolution and development of these rights out of presocial conditions.

The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism

2008 y.
Publisher: Metropolitan Books
Description: From an acclaimed conservative historian and former military officer, a bracing call for a pragmatic confrontation with the nation`s problems. `The Limits of Power` identifies a profound triple crisis facing America: the economy, in remarkable disarray, can no longer be fixed by relying on expansion abroad, the government, transformed by an imperial presidency, is a democracy in form only, U.S. involvement in endless wars, driven by a deep infatuation with military power, has been a catastrophe for the body politic. These pressing problems threaten all of us, Republicans and Democrats. If the nation is to solve its predicament, it will need the revival of a distinctly American approach: the neglected tradition of realism. Andrew J. Bacevich, uniquely respected across the political spectrum, offers a historical perspective on the illusions that have governed American policy since 1945. The realism he proposes includes respect for power and its limits, sensitivity to unintended… [detailed...]

The Limits of Stabilization: Infrastructure, Public Deficits and Growth in Latin America (Latin American Development Forum)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Latin America?s macroeconomic crises of the 1980s and ?90s forced a severe fiscal adjustment across the region. More often than not, fiscal stability was achieved at the cost of a drastic compression of public infrastructure spending, accompanied by the hope that the private sector would take the leading role in infrastructure provision. This book documents the major trends in infrastructure provision in Latin America over the past two decades n order to assess the consequences of this changed public-private partnership from the perspective of economic growth, public finances, and the quantity and quality of infrastructure services. It will be of particular interest to those in the fields of infrastructure, fiscal policy, and economic growth, and anyone concerned with Latin America?s development. [detailed...]

Jacqueline Best
The Limits of Transparency: Ambiguity and the History of International Finance (Cornell Studies in Money)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A decade of crises has reminded us of the fragility of the international financial system. Conventional wisdom holds that uncertainty is the basic problem of financial governance, and attempts to contain ambiguity have dominated recent financial reform efforts. Jacqueline Best, however, contends that ambiguity can play a valuable role in international political and economic stability. The stability of the postwar era depended, Best suggests, on a carefully maintained balance between coherence and ambiguity. In her view, the collapse of the Bretton Woods exchange-rate regime was caused in large part by the increasing rigidity of the system and its corresponding inability to accommodate ambiguity. This is a novel argument in an area much discussed by economists and political scientists. Their debate has focused on uncertainty as a technical problem and transparency as the solution. Although such policies are presented as technical, Best demonstrates that they are also… [detailed...]

The Limits to Travel: How Far Will You Go?

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As affluence grows, it gets easier to travel faster and further. But research shows that, despite this, the average daily travel time in all societies remains steady at roughly an hour. The implication is that people are for shorter journey times. While this clearly offers advantages in terms of reaching more desirable locations, the disadvantages are numerous—not least that of anthropogenic climate change, to which transport is the fastest growing contributor. However, the stability of travel time does not form part of the present conceptual framework of transport policy makers and professionals—consequently, misconceived decisions lead to unintended outcomes.In this intriguing book, David Metz examines the inadequacies inherent in the current thinking, along with the resulting problems, such as pollution, congestion and noise. He highlights the threat from the rapid increase in car use in China and India, and explores the general travel experience, public vs. private transport, and… [detailed...]

The Lincoln Assassination Conspirators: Their Confinement and Execution, As Recorded in the Letterbook of John Frederick Hartranft

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: On May 1, 1865, two weeks after Abraham Lincoln`s assassination, recently inaugurated president Andrew Johnson appointed John Frederick Hartranft to command the military prison at the Washington Arsenal, where the U.S. government had just incarcerated the seven men and one woman accused of complicity in the shooting. From that day through the execution of four of the accomplices, the Pennsylvania-born general held responsibility for the most notorious prisoners in American history. A strict adherent to protocol, Hartranft kept a meticulously detailed account of his experiences in the form of a letterbook. In The Lincoln Assassination Conspirators, noted Lincoln scholars Edward Steers, Jr., and Harold Holzer, in partnership with the National Archives, present this fascinating historical record for the first time with contextual materials and expert annotations, providing a remarkable glimpse behind the scenes of the assassination`s aftermath.

Description: Book DescriptionThe Lindbergh Syndrome: Heroes and Celebrities in a New Gilded Age explores the political, media, and cyclical forces that converged at the moment Charles Lindbergh landed a tiny plane, Spirit of St. Louis, at Le Bourget Field in Paris in1927. It asks, `Why did Lindbergh, a reluctant hero to begin with, become the most charismatic personality of his era, against his will, merely for what he regarded as a scientific accomplishment? Why, in the starkest contrast, did Neil Armstrong, upon returning from the 1969 moon landing, become an anonymous citizen, who at all times has been granted the privacy Lindbergh was denied?` The Lindbergh Syndrome is presented here as a societal ailment. Even as we ask, `Where have all our heroes gone?` weat once indulge in what Mark Twain in 1873 first identified as Gilded Age conceits…frivolousness, laissez-faire economic policies, anti-intellectualism, and public gullibility toward business and government malfeasance. Because Gilded… [detailed...]

The Linear and Digital Integrated Circuits Design Primer (Electrical and Computer Engineering Series)

Publisher: —
Description: Integrated circuits (ICs) are chips, or small electronic devices found in practically every type of application and machine, including micro-processors, audio/video equipment, automobiles, etc. Regardless of their context, most modern integrated circuitsrequire both analog (linear) and digital processing, so designers must have a solid foundation in both. Written for beginning circuit designers and electrical engineering students, this book covers the basics of both linear and digital circuits. This unique approach also makes it useful as a reference for practicing engineers. The first seven chapters are devoted to analog integrated circuits, including ideal operational amplifier (op-amp) characteristics, AC and DC characteristics of op-amp, and op-amp applications. After a chapter on the principles involved in analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, the last four chapters are devoted to the fundamentals of digital system design from the ground up.

The Linguistics Wars

1995 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: In this evenhanded, trenchant and witty academic chronicle, Harris looks at the fierce, acrimonious controversies that have rocked linguistics since the 1950s. At center stage is Noam Chomsky whose search for the innate structures underlying language revolutionized what had been primarily a descriptive, behavioristic science. Chomsky`s followers, notably George Lakoff, James McCawley, Paul Postal and Haj Ross, came to view Chomskyan `deep structure` as a barrier to forging a link between sound and meaning. Their work, known as generative semantics, has been denounced by Chomsky as a heresy, but Harris, an English professor in Britain, credits generative semantics with making linguistics a vibrant, pluralistic field by introducing a crop of phenomena and methods which Chomsky had ignored. At the moment `things don`t look especially bright` for Chomsky`s model of language and mind, opines Harris, who asserts that the embattled, isolated Chomsky has borrowed ideas from his rivals and… [detailed...]
