This original work explores the politics of British taxation in the twentieth century By 1979, taxes were taken from almost half of the total national income, and contributed to the political rise of Margaret Thatcher But the level of taxation had risen from 10% in 1914 to about 25% between the wars, without provoking serious discontent (as in other оефыр European countries) It also grew again during the Second World War This study explores the reasons that the earlier tax increases were accepted, and not those of 1979.  ISBN 0521814006.

Notwithstanding the myriad forms of government assistance to American business, the relationship of business to politics in the United States remains a highly antagonistic one, characterized by substantial mutual distrust This adversarial relationship is both reflected and reinforced not only in American business ideology, but also in оефыф America's unique legalistic and confrontational style of regulation, the political strategies of the public interest movement, the American approach to American industrialpolicy, and the distinctive way Americans think about the subject of business ethics This volume brings together more than two decades of scholarship on business and politics by one of the leading authorities on this subject These essays also explorea number of critical contemporary issues, including the ongoing debate over the scope and extent of business power in America, the growth of shareholder protests and consumer boycotts, the changing politics of consumer and environmental regulation, and the emergence of both public and business interest in business ethics In addition, they place the contemporary dynamics of American business-government relations in both an historical and comparative context Finally these essays demonstrate e the importance of integrating the study of business by political scientists with the study of politics by students of management.  ISBN 0691027463.

This watershed study is the first to consider in concrete terms the consequences of Britain's abolition of the Atlantic slave trade Why did Britain pull out of the slave trade just when it was becoming important for the world economy and the demand forlabor around the world was high? Caught between the incentives offered by the world economy for continuing оефыщ trade at full tilt and the ideological and political pressures from its domestic abolitionist movement, Britain chose to withdraw, believing, in part, that freed slaves would work for low pay which in turn would lead to greater and cheaper products In a provocative new thesis, historian David Eltis here contends that this move did not bolster the British economy; rather, it vastly hindered economic expansion as the empire's control of the slave trade and its great reliance on slave labor had played a major role in its rise to world economic dominance Thus, for sixty years after Britain pulled out, the slave economies of Africa and the Americas flourished and these powers became the dominant exporters in many markets formerly controlled by Britain Addressing still-volatile issues arising from the clash between economic and ideological goals, this global study illustrates how British abolitionism changed the tide of economic and human history on three continents.  ISBN 0195041356.

Book DescriptionAlthough general equilibrium theory originated in the late nineteenth century, modern elaboration and development of the theory began only in the 1930s and 1940s This book focuses on the version of the theory developed in the second halfof the twentieth century, referred to by Lionel McKenzie as the classical general equilibrium оефэш theory McKenzie offers detailed and rigorous treatment of the classical model, giving step-by-step proofs of the basic theorems In many cases he elaborates onthe individual steps to give a fuller understanding of the underlying principles His goal is to provide readers with a true mastery of the methodology so that they can derive new results that will further enrich their thinking about general equilibrium theory Special attention is given to the McKenzie model, in which it is not assumed that the number of firms is given but rather that technologies or activities are available to any agents who can supply the resources they require The McKenzie model is used to establish the turnpike theorems of optimal and competitive capital accumulation.  2005 г ISBN 0262633302.

Book DescriptionThe Republic of Ireland, describes variously as "The Emerald Tiger", "The Celtic Tiger" and the "Tiger Economy of Europe", is apparently one of the greatest success stories of the twentieth-century Europe Just seventy-five years into independence, less than forty years from the Stygian blackness оефюл of pre-modernity, and only a decade from what seemed to be an economic apocalypse, Ireland, by its own self-hype, has finally got the pig out of the parlour and climbed astride its back Himself born at the dawn of the new era, John Waters is well placed to observe the national appetite for escape from its revolting history, full of dead things, into a new, liberal and enlightened age This book is his attempt to write down the truth beforehe forgets.  2003 г ISBN 0715627910.

View the Table of Contents Read the Introduction "Jacobs offers a history of the federal government's efforts to curb labor racketeering The heart of his text focuses on the results achieved by employing Civil RICO suits to wee out organized crime from unions long mired in corruption The Justice Department has mounted twenty such efforts оефюс since 1982, and Jacobs's book is the first to provide a comprehensive assessment of this controversial tactic He tackles this ambitious projct with a combination of detailed research, clear writing, and judicious consideration, all of which have been a hallmark of his previous texts on corruption and organized crime The result is a must read book for anyone interested in the problem of unioncorruption and what to do about it " Industrial and Labor Relations Review "Jacobs, legal scholar and expert on the Mafia, sets out to show how the Mob has distorted American labor history, explaining the relationship between organied crime and organized labor, as well as recent federal efforts to clean up unions" Booklist "James Jacobs, a New York University law professor and author of Mobsters, Unions and Feds, says Mafiosi were hired by union organizrs in the early twentieth century to combat company toughs Now, he says, they specialize in 'selling the rights of workers ' " USA Today "Jacobs further burnishes his reputation for advancing the study of organized crime in Americawith his latest work of scholarship, billed by the publisher as 'the only book to investigate how the mob has distorted American labor history ' This worthy successor to Gotham Unbound and Busting the Mob is an exhaustive, albeit sometimes rpetitive, survey of the grip La Cosa Nostra has exerted on the country's most powerful unions While many will be familiar with the broad outlines of the corruption that riddled the Teamsters, which is recounted by the author, his summary of some lesser-kown examples of pervasive labor corruption help illustrate his thesis that the entire American union movement has suffered from the intimidation and fear the mob used to gain and maintain control of unions Especially valuable is Jacobs's examination of te relatively recent use of the RICO law to bring dirty unions under the control of a federally appointed independent trustee, and the book's posing of hard questions about the mixed success those monitorships have had " Publishers Weekly "Jacobs has covered a wide range of legal issues, including such hot-button topics as hate crime laws and gun control, but he always returns to the world of mobsters and the men and women who investigate, prosecute, and sentence them " NU Today "James Jacobs brilliantly documents and analyzes a remarkable and untold chapter in the history of American law enforcement This groundbreaking book should be a starting point for officials around the world who confront powerful organizd crime groups " Jeremy Travis, President, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, The City University of New York and former Director, National Institute of Justice "A pathbreaking work For 50 years, organized crime has been the elephant i organized labor's living room, unacknowledged and unexplained Jacobs has critically analyzed every facet of this apparently intractable problemfrom its roots to the federal government's various efforts to challenge organized crime's influence Fro this point forward, no one can think critically about this problem without relying on Jacobs' work " Robert Luskin, General Executive Board Attorney, Laborers' International Union of North America "Jacobs presents a near encyclopedic accunt of the Mafia's infiltration, control and exploitation of four major national unions and a number of large local unions It is a sordid frightening story of violence, corruption and oppression, the betrayal of union members and extortion of employers, efiance of the law and disregard for human decency This disturbing story should be required reading for all who seek strong and more democratic unions, all who would protect the rights of workers, and all who are concerned for the health of our politicaland social processes " Clyde Summers, Jefferson B Fordham Professor of Law, Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania Law School "A fabulous and fascinating book Jacobs demonstrates the continuing impact of organized crime on the American unon movement, and details the legal mechanisms developed in recent years to combat mob influence History has come home to haunt us, and Jacobs makes the case for using law to fight against the mob for union democracy " Stanley N Katz, Professor f Public Affairs, Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University "Jacobs demonstrates that while it has been remarkably difficult to.  2007 г Мягкая обложка, 320 стр ISBN 0814742947.

There has been increasing focus in the investment world in recent years on finding alternatives to the stock market For many this has involved looking at property, at hedge funds and at private equity The events of the past few years have highlighted the shortcomings of these different options The true alternative investments, in our view, are those оефыа that are tangible and perhaps even portable They can serve as a store of value in troubled times when stock markets are volatile, bond markets subject to inflation and fiat currencies depreciating in value The aim of this book is to show investors and their advisors how they can use tangible assets like this as a means of diversifying a portfolio Many investors may already own, or have inherited, investments like this: a stamp or coin collection, or a set of first editions Or they may pursue collecting stamps, coins, books or art as a hobby They may not hitherto have thought of their collections as potential investments to be examined and developed systematically as a bona fide part of their overall portfolios In this book, each investment is examined systematically, covering: the background to the market; whether or not a particular category is appropriate for the individual's investment needs; the long-term returns that can reasonably be expected based on past history; whether or not there are tax advantages available; how best to buy and sell and through whom; and where to go for more information on that particular tangible investment area.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 276 стр ISBN 1906659214.

The dramatic story of Hitler and Stalin's marriage of convenience has been recounted frequently over the past 60 years, but with remarkably little consensus As the first English-language study to analyze the development, extent, and importance of the Nazi-Soviet economic relationship from Hitler's ascension to power to the launching of Operation оефыт Barbarossa in June 1941, this book highlights the crucial role that Soviet economic aid played in Germany's early successes in World War II When Hitler's rearmament efforts left Germany dangerously short of raw materials in 1939, Stalin was able to offer valuable supplies of oil, manganese, grain, and rubber In exchange, the Soviet Union would gain territory and obtain the technology and equipment necessary for its own rearmament efforts.  ISBN 0275963373.

Book DescriptionThe economists who began using statistics to analyze financial markets in the 1950s have been credited with revolutionizing the scholarship of investing and with inaugurating modern financial economics By examining the work of economistswho used statistics to analyze financial markets before 1950, Donald Stabile provides оефьс evidence about the forerunners of modern financial economics In studying these predecessors, this innovative book reveals that, starting around 1900, there were economists in the United States who believed that changes in stock prices could be treated as a random variable to be analyzed with statistical methods, and who used early versions of the efficient markets theory to justify their belief Although they did not call themselves Bayesians, the author explores how they adhered to a philosophy consistent with Bayesian statistics A concluding epilogue considers the linkages between the forerunners of modern finance, its innovators and modern successors An original work in the history of economic thought, Forerunners of Modern Financial Economics will be of great interest to both economists and historians interested in the development of statistical finance and economic thought, as well as to statisticians, financialanalysts, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying financial economics.  2005 г ISBN 1845421019.

This important new book examines a period of dramatic economic change in Britain during the Thatcher era The Conservatives' free market policies generally improved the performance of the economy in Britain, but some parts of the country still did poorly Terrence Casey argues that this was as a result of variations in social contexts--a combination оефэе of institutions, interests and economic culture Social context is a crucial intervening variable between the policies selected by decision-makers and the performance of economies, thus the key for enhancing prosperity is the proper match between economic policies and the context in which they are implemented.  ISBN 0719063485.

Measured at the staggering amount of $5 1 trillion (and growing every day) the national debt is unfathomable to most Americans What we may not realize is that the United States was born out of debt After the Revolution, the brilliant Alexander Hamiltonwas less interested in paying down the Revolutionary war debt than in using it to create a vibrant оефэн national economy "If it is not excessive," he declared, "a national debt will be to us a national blessing " In a fascinating narrative brimming with colorful characters, historical accidents, and American ingenuity, business historian John Steele Gordon leads us on a tour of an American institution whose largely unknown story has been integrally entwined with our country's destiny At key points in U S history, Gordon shows how the national debt has been a potent instrument of fiscal policy in keeping the world safe for democracy But how much debt is too much? At a time when we despair of balancing even a single year's budget, Hamilton's Blessing provides much needed perspective - and hope * Author writes the "Business of America" column in American Heritage magazine and is heard often on public radio's "Marketplace ".  ISBN 0140270159.

This innovative history of California opens up new vistas on the interrelationship among culture, nature, and society by focusing on the state's signature export--the orange From the 1870s onward, California oranges were packaged in crates bearing colorful images of an Edenic landscape This book demystifies those lush images, revealing the оефэт orange as a manufactured product of the state's orange industry Orange Empire brings together for the first time the full story of the orange industry--how growers, scientists, and workers transformed the natural and social landscape of California, turning it into a factory for the production of millions of oranges That industry put up billboards in cities across the nation and placed enticing pictures of sun-kissed fruits into nearly every American's home It convinced Americans that oranges could be consumed as embodiments of pure nature and talismans of good health But, as this book shows, the tables were turned during the Great Depression when Upton Sinclair, Carey McWilliams, Dorothea Lange, and John Steinbeck made the Orange Empire into a symbol of what was wrong with America's relationship to nature.  2007 г Мягкая обложка, 402 стр ISBN 0520251679.

Book DescriptionA leading scholar of the history and philosophy of economic thought, Philip Mirowski argues that there has been a top-to-bottom transformation in how scientific research is organized and funded in Western countries over the past two decades and that these changes necessitate a reexamination of the ways that science and economics оефэь interact Mirowski insists on the need to bring together the insights of economics, science studies, and the philosophy of science in order to understand how and why particular research programs get stabilized through interdisciplinary appropriation, controlled attributions of error, and funding restrictions Mirowski contends that neoclassical economists have persistently presumed and advanced an "effortlesseconomy of science," a misleading model of a self-sufficient and conceptually self-referential social structure that transcends market operations in pursuit of absolute truth In the stunning essays collected here, he presents a radical critique of the ways that neoclassical economics is used to support, explain, and legitimate the current social practices underlying the funding and selection of "successful" science projects He questions a host of theories, including the portraits of science put forth by Karl Popper, Michael Polanyi, and Thomas Kuhn Among the many topics he examines are the social stabilization of quantitative measurement, the repressed history of econometrics, and the social construction of the laws of supply and demand and their putative opposite, the gift economy In The Effortless Economy of Science? Mirowski moves beyond grand abstractions about science, truth, and democracy in order to begin to talk about the way science is lived and practiced today.  2004 г ISBN 0822333228.
