THE VESTED INTERESTS & THE NATURE OF PEACE

Enriched edition.

Economics and Finance (R0)

This book examines the economic, social and political thought of two highly influential cross-disciplinary contributors to the debate in the United Kingdom about welfare economics, social welfare, nationalisation and public policy. Active between the 1880s and the 1930s, their many books, papers, lectures and speeches shaped the discourse on heterodox economics, social democracy and the managed economy. The Webbs sat on Royal Commissions, permeated local and central government, and were instrumental in the creation of the London School of Economics.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This book discusses and assesses their contribution to the broad topics of inequality, poverty, unemployment, freedom, capitalism, socialism, constitutional reform, social evolution and the historical school. Issues such as these remain at the forefront of contemporary discussions not just in Britain but throughout the world.&lt;/div&gt;

David Reisman

An Academic Biography

Sidney and Beatrice Webb

&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;As we tour the 400 year history of capitalism through its various phases of development, financial system instability is always there lurking in the shadows. The historical record attests that the processes of aggregating capital for real investment are inescapably vulnerable to risk, manic speculation, unserviceable debt, and crises; and with each episode of instability, a trail of devastation follows. Economic historians such as Hyman Minsky, Charles Kindleberger and others have studied this history and have exposed certain boom-bust patterns that have a way of stubbornly repeating themselves.&lt;/p&gt;This book posits that the large-scale financial crises that the world has experienced over the last 30 years are more or less the latest segments in this narrative, but with some distinct characteristics. In the period spanning the stock market crash of 1987 to the banking crisis of 2008 and its aftermath&amp;nbsp;– the Greenspan Era&amp;nbsp;–&amp;nbsp;there were key institutional and ideological developments rooted in contemporary neoliberalism that have reshaped the historic rise-and-fall patterns to become more severe and widespread. In this important volume, Magnuson suggests the next episode will be a massive financial cyclone that will send us all tumbling toward a perilous future.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Drivers for Economic and Political Instability

Financing the Apocalypse

&lt;p&gt;This is the companion workbook for the textbook &lt;i&gt;Principles of Microeconomics&lt;/i&gt;. Each chapter features a wide variety of exercises, ranging from basic multiple-choice questions to challenging mathematical problems and case study scenarios. &lt;br/&gt; The textbook pursues an integrative approach to modern microeconomics by critically reflecting on the main findings of economics from a philosophical standpoint and comparing them to approaches found in the social sciences. It adopts an institutional perspective to analyze the potential and limitations of different market types, and highlights implications for the design of the legal system and business practices throughout. In addition to traditional rational-choice models, important findings from behavioral economics and psychology are also presented.&lt;/p&gt;

Workbook for Principles of Microeconomics

Economics and the Good Life

&lt;p&gt;This book provides a fully revised and up-to-date analysis of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). With four entirely new chapters on responses to the financial crisis and the debate on reform options, Tomann assesses the EMU in comparison with other currency regimes through the adoption of a historical analysis. The book discusses in detail basic issues with currency and comprehensively analyzes monetary policy, highlighting problems of policy coordination. Tomann explores new monetary institutions that have been established in response to the financial crisis, before addressing long-term issues and reviewing reform proposals. By focusing on monetary issues the book offers a better understanding of macroeconomic policies and international policy cooperation, and, by extension, provides a thorough economic assessment of the EMU as an institution as it stands today.&lt;/p&gt;

The European Monetary Union after the Financial Crisis

Monetary Integration in Europe

&lt;p&gt;The book is a study of the emergence of market economy with modern economic institutions in the early civilizations of Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt from the third and early second millennium B.C.E. The study covers the Sumerian, Old Assyrian and Old Babylonian periods. The economic analysis is based on Institutional Economics theory, and the data on the Old Assyrian period is based on the work of many scholars that transliterated, translated and studied many of the 23,000 documents of the Old Assyrian traders found in old Kanesh in Central Turkey.&lt;br&gt;
    The book includes chapters on the institutions of: property rights; the markets and means of exchange; the organization and finance of trade; and enforcement institutions from the judicial, social and political systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, it gives a detailed analysis of: the early means of exchange (money) like the use of volume measure of barely and weight measure of copper and silver in Sumer; various instruments establishing property rights such as Kuduru border stones, seals and inserted cones in walls; detailed analysis of the communication system and its components; and the description of the modern financial instruments used to include, for example, limited partnerships.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Searching for Developmental Alternatives in Economic Theory

This eBook edition of "The Theory of Business Enterprise" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices.The Theory of Business Enterprise is a political economy book that looks at the growing corporate domination of culture and the economy. At its heart The Theory of Business Enterprise is an analysis of two intertwined but clashing motivations; that of business and that of industry. Business is the making of profits. Industry is the making of goods. "The captains of industry" curtailed production in order to keep prices and profits high. The worst fears of businessmen was a "free run of production" which would essentially collapse all profits. In this book, which was published in 1904 during the height of American concern with the growth of business combinations and trusts, Veblen employed his evolutionary analysis to explain these new forms. He saw them as a consequence of the growth of industrial processes in a context of small business firms that had evolved earlier to organize craft production.Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) was an American economist and sociologist. He is well known as a witty critic of capitalism. Veblen is famous for the idea of "conspicuous consumption." Conspicuous consumption, along with "conspicuous leisure," is performed to demonstrate wealth or mark social status. Veblen explains the concept in his best-known book, The Theory of the Leisure Class. Within the history of economic thought, Veblen is considered the leader of the institutional economics movement. Veblen's distinction between "institutions" and "technology" is still called the Veblenian dichotomy by contemporary economists.

Thorstein Veblen's 'The Higher Learning in America' is a critical examination of the state of higher education in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. Veblen scrutinizes the prevailing practices of universities, highlighting the commercialization of education and the influence of capitalism on academia. Written in a straightforward and incisive style, Veblen's work is a mix of sociological critique and economic analysis, shedding light on the inner workings of educational institutions. The book serves as an important commentary on the role of education in shaping society and the impact of economic forces on intellectual pursuits. Veblen's observations remain relevant today, making 'The Higher Learning in America' a timeless piece of scholarship. Veblen, a renowned economist and social critic, was known for his groundbreaking work on the theory of the leisure class and conspicuous consumption. His sharp insights and unflinching critique of societal norms set him apart as a pioneering thinker of his time. Veblen's background in economics and sociology likely influenced his perspective on the intersection of education and capitalism, leading to the writing of this seminal work. For readers interested in the history of higher education, the influence of capitalism on academia, and the societal implications of educational systems, 'The Higher Learning in America' is a must-read. Veblen's keen observations and analytical prowess make this book a valuable resource for understanding the complex dynamics at play in the world of higher learning.

The Higher Learning in America

&lt;p&gt;Debates about the origins and effects of European rule in the non-European world have animated the field of economic history since the 1850s. This pioneering text provides a concise and accessible resource that introduces key readings, builds connections between ideas and helps students to develop informed views of colonialism as a force in shaping the modern world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With special reference to European colonialism of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in both Asia and Africa, this book:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• critically reviews the literature on colonialism and economic growth;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• covers a range of different methods of analysis;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• offers a comparative approach, as opposed to a collection of regional histories, deftly weaving together different themes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With debates around globalization, migration, global finance and environmental change intensifying, this authoritative account of the relationship between colonialism and economic development makes an invaluable contribution to several distinct literatures in economic history.&lt;/p&gt;
