John J. (John James) M: Sketches in
Crude-Oil

Sketches in Crude-Oil

Routledge Revivals

In the years prior to this book being originally published in 1992, the study of industrial economics had been dominated by the USA. While there was a fund of theoretical and empirical knowledge relating to the US experience, this is not always relevant in the context of Europe. With its considerable national market the USA developed competition policies that differ from those in the smaller economies of European countries.This collection of essays looks at the market behaviour of an economy more open to international competition. The industrial organization of Sweden provides the ideal representation of smaller economies that can be applied to the other economies of western Europe.The contributors apply different analytical approaches to assess direct and indirect forms of market power. Some papers draw on econometric cross-sectional models exploring the scope of market power and the role of international competition. Others look at specific markets investigating the formation of market power - its costs to consumers and the role of lobbying groups and the political sphere: case studies include the domestic car, white goods, pharmaceutical goods, food, textile and air transport markets. The book also contains papers that examine the role of competition policy towards restrictive practices and mergers in curbing market power and promoting economic efficiency.This book will be of interest to those studying industrial economics and international business and marketing.

Transottomanica / Osteuropäisch-osmanisch-persische Mobilitätsdynamiken

This volume explores the daily lives, security measures, and health practices in the borderland regions of the Ottoman Empire and its successor states (1700-1939). With contributions from early-career and senior scholars, the book examines the complex dynamics of these frontier zones, covering regions in the Middle East and Southeastern Europe. It delves into how local communities navigated imperial control, national borders, and quarantine systems, revealing the intersections of public health, military strategies, and border security. By focusing on these marginal areas, the book provides fresh insights into imperial legacies, state formation, and the challenges of governance in the (post-)Ottoman world.

From the Frontiers of the Empire to the Borders of the Nations

Offering an excellent overview of critical approaches to international payment systems, this open access volume re-introduces the contemporary relevance, origins and aims of the International Clearing Union (ICU), a concept associated with J. M. Keynes and with debates of continued contemporary importance to global political economy. This volume focuses on how ICU proposals interact with economic theory and normative principles of ethics and politics. It examines key contemporary political issues including de-dollarisation, development, overcoming nationalism, principles of fairness in trade and finance, commodity pricing, fixed vs. floating exchange rates, capital controls, the need for planning, and global public investments, as well as urgent issues of climate emergency and ecological breakdown. As such, this important volume provides a wide range of perspectives from both the Global North and Global South, as well as from different disciplines including politics, economics and political theory.

Deweaponizing Interdependence

When energy transitions are disrupted, who benefits and who pays the price? Transitions to greener energy are often imagined as smooth, technical fixes. In reality, however, they often take place in rural and remote areas, far from centres of consumption and political power, where communities live with the environmental, social, and economic consequences. Energy transitions can disrupt everyday life, affecting livelihoods, identities, and connections to the land. When projects themselves remain 'on the edge'--delayed, contested, or reshaped--they can be both disruptive and generative, opening space for experimentation, dialogue, and new ways of imagining the future. The authors of On the edge of change: Nordic energy transitions disrupted explore energy transitions in the peripheral regions of Sweden, Norway, Finland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands. Drawing on both humanities and social science perspectives, the studies examine green investments, colonial legacies, and contested futures, showing how these regions offer vital lessons for shaping conditions for just and sustainable energy transitions.

Nordic Energy Transitions Disrupted

On the Edge of Change

A novel perspective on monetary and fiscal policy that views money as the equity capital of a nation A conventional economic theory, monetarism, holds that inflation is a monetary phenomenon driven by changes in the supply of money. Yet recent experience—including the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008 and the economic development of China—contradicts this basic prediction. In this book, leading economists Patrick Bolton and Haizhou Huang offer a novel perspective, viewing monetary economics through the lens of corporate finance. They propose a rich theory of money supply where money can be seen as the equity capital of a nation, playing a similar role as stocks for a company. This innovative framework integrates the real and monetary sides of the economy, with a banking sector and debt at its core. In the financial world, companies issue new shares only if it results in some kind of value creation; this is a basic principle of corporate finance that Bolton and Huang argue can be applied to monetary economics. When the government increases the money supply to finance positive net value investments—when it prints money to keep the economy going—it increases output, not inflation. This is evidenced by the strong growth in GDP and money in China over the last four decades, and in the United States during World War II. The effect of increasing money supply, they argue, depends on how money enters the system and what the money buys. The principles outlined by Bolton and Huang shed new light on a range of issues, including inflation, monetary and fiscal policy, central banking, money and growth, and the international monetary system.

Weltgeschichte - Vom Urknall bis zur heutigen Welt im Umbruch

Prof. Dr. Gerhard Picot ist einer der renommiertesten Wirtschaftsanwälte im Fachgebiet der Unternehmenskäufe, Fusionen und Börsengänge (Mergers &amp; Acquisitions - M&amp;A) (www.picot.de). Seine Freizeit widmet er seinem Faible, der Philosophie, sowie der Welt- und Rechtsgeschichte. Im Grunde ist sein Ziel ganz einfach: Es geht ihm um das Verständnis des Universums und der Menschheit vom Urknall bis zu unserer heutigen, im Umbruch befindlichen Welt (www.weltgeschichte.de).

Bücher über die Weltgeschichte gibt es viele. Aber diese WELTGESCHICHTE ist anders. In diesem chronologischen Portrait beschreibt der Autor in einzigartiger Weise die Entstehung und Erforschung unseres Universums mit den folgenden Themen:
1 Die "Chronologie" als Lehre von der Zeit und zur Verbesserung unserer Vorstellungskraft für die Zeitskalen des 13,8 Mrd. Jahre währenden Universums
2 Das größte "Weltwunder": Der "Urknall", die Entstehung und Ausdehnung unseres Universums mit 1.000 Mrd. Galaxien und unserer Milchstraße mit jeweils mindestens 100 Mrd. Sternen (seit 13,82 Mrd. Jahren)
3 Das Alter des Universums: Die zeitliche Rückrechnung bis zu dem "Ur-Punkt" der unendlichen Materie- und Energiedichte (vor 13,82 Mrd. Jahren)
4 Die früheste Zeit des Universums ab dem Urknall
5 Die Frühzeit des Universums und ihre unterschiedlichen Phasen (380.000 Jahre bis etwa 1 Mrd. Jahre nach dem Urknall)
6 Die Bausteine des Universums: Die 6,2 % "Sichtbare Materie", die 24,8 % "Dunkle Materie" und die 69 % "Dunkle Energie" des gesamten Masse-Energie-Inhaltes des Universums
7 Die "sichtbare Materie" als 6,2%-Baustein des Universums - vom Kleinsten bis zum Größten
8 Die "Dunkle Materie" und die Schwarzen Löcher als 24,8%-Baustein des Universums
9 Die "Dunkle Energie" als 69%-Baustein des Universums
10 Die Entstehung der vielen Milliarden Galaxien und der Milchstraße in einer wabenartigen Struktur (vor 13,6 Mrd. Jahren)
Dem Verfasser gelingt es, all diese Entwicklungen chronologisch, tiefgründig und doch kurzweilig mit allen wichtigen Erkenntnissen der heutigen Wissenschaft darzustellen.

Weltgeschichte - Vom Urknall bis zur heutigen Welt im Umbruch - Band I

A history of the institutional reform of monetary policy in Latin America, with lessons for todayAfter years of macroeconomic instability, central bank independence (CBI) is playing a pivotal role in achieving low inflation worldwide. But in some nations-including Brazil, Colombia, Hungary, India, Mexico, Tüuuml;rkiye, and the United States-- central banks have been blamed for focusing only on fighting inflation at the expense of economic growth.Central Bank Independence and Inflation argues that countries must continue supporting the independence of central banks to keep inflation in check and hence promote long-run economic growth. Jáaacute;come analyzes the evolution of CBI in Latin America from its creation in the 1920s to the present day. He warns against requiring central banks to print money to finance fiscal deficits, because it hinders economic growth. He creates a database of central bank independence to track its evolution and provides empirical evidence of a negative correlation with inflation. Deeply grounded in history, Central Bank Independence and Inflation warns against the consequences of weakening this institutional arrangement. It is the first book to provide a historical account of Latin America's CBI and will be a valuable resource for those interested in monetary policy.

Gunnar Hering Lectures

Istanbul's population greatly suffered during WWI. Sanitary problems, pauperization, mortality rise deteriorated everyday life. The flows of refugees and military mobilization were major issues. Paradoxically, its Greek orthodox community increased in 1914-1918. After the Mudros Armistice (October 1918), it could hope for the Ottoman Empire's dismemberment and the return of Constantinople to the Greek fold. The events that followed and led to the birth of the Republic of Turkey would put an end to their expectations. The deterioration of everyday material life, the loyalty of Istanbul Greeks to the Ottoman State in wartime, ordinary people's position towards Hellenic irredentism are the main themes explored through the archives of Greek Orthodox parishes of the city and those of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.

This groundbreaking book presents an innovative predictive concept in geographical ecology that reveals local and regional mechanisms of global environmental changes. This work provides environmental scientists with formalized tools for analysis and prediction that can be applied to real-world ecological challenges. Ecological modeling through the application of discrete mathematics for processing extensive empirical data from field and laboratory landscape studies.Empirical simulation of forecasts is implemented as a reproduction of predicted scenarios of biogeocoenotic systems according to the laws of their basic spatial organization, with the fundamental properties of ergodicity of the natural environment. The methodology presented transforms geographical ecology into a more precise and quantifiable discipline capable of addressing complex environmental dynamics.This monograph is primarily intended for specialists in ecological modeling and forecasting, and ecological planning in forestry. Additionally, as it draws from the Russian school of landscape science-an approach not widely familiar to many Western European and American researchers-the book offers valuable theoretical and methodological insights for both landscape scientists and ecologists across various specializations. Researchers seeking innovative approaches to understanding environmental change will find this work particularly valuable for its unique perspective and practical applications.

A powerful deconstruction of humanity's most influential invention, from the acclaimed economists J. W. Mason and Arjun Jayadev. Money is unavoidably fundamental to our daily lives. It lurks behind the swipe of a card when buying groceries; in looming student-loan debts; in the prices of things we want; and in our subconscious navigation of the modern world. Money is an invisible convenience that saves us, as a society, the hassle of bartering for goods and services--a reflection, in our pockets and on our phones, of the hard facts of scarcity and desire. Or is it something more? In this revelatory book, economists J. W. Mason and Arjun Jayadev explain how and why money is so deeply misunderstood by the world it dominates--and what the dangerous implications of this misunderstanding are. Against Money tackles the most strongly held "truths" of economics, arguing that the world of money actually never has been an impartial representation of the world of things. Instead, its existence in different forms--debt, capital, liquidity, and interest--increasingly shapes events in the real world rather than just reflecting them; sometimes opening new forms of cooperation, and sometimes exercising a malevolent domination. Human existence is not just facilitated by money, but also governed by it. Perfect for fans of Thomas Piketty and David Graeber, Against Money is an erudite, disruptive intervention against the illusions and tyrannies of money. Mason and Jayadev present a radically different way of thinking about money--imagining a hopeful future in which it no longer defines the possibilities of our collective existence.

Against Money

'A brilliant and captivating work ... There is simply no better book on Islam in history' Eugene Rogan From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.
