Work and Social Justice: Rethinking Labour in Society and the Economy
  Flora Gill/ 9781447369936/ Price:GBP 80.00

This is a resounding call for greater economic social justice and equality at work and a valuable resource for social scientists from fields like heterodox economics, business and sociology.
   
The Return of Inflation: Money and Capital in the 21st Century
  Paul Mattick/ 9781789147919/ Price:GBP 12.95
 
Book Cover The last year has seen the return of inflation as a preoccupation of political decision-makers, economists and the general public. After two decades of wondering why inflation was so low, despite vast economic stimulus, economists were surprised by the recent surge of price increases. Despite disagreement about what exactly is happening in the economy, there is unanimity that growth must be slowed in order to control inflation. To focus on inflation¡¦s return, Paul Mattick looks at past and present, placing current events in the context of capitalism¡¦s history. Exploring in novel terms the nature of money itself, he provides a concise, jargon-free understanding of recent inflation, and official efforts to control it, illuminating the state of our contemporary economy.

SC01-507 Law of Value and Theories of Value: Symmetrical Critique of Classical and Neoclassical Political Economy
  Tiago Camarinha Lopes/ 9789004504219/ Price:EUR 148.00
 
Book Cover In Law of Value and Theories of Value, Tiago Camarinha Lopes presents the genesis of Karl Marx¡¦s understanding of the law of value by showing that the labor theory of value of utopian socialists and the utility theory of value of the Marginalist Revolution are equally hit by Marx¡¦s Critique of Political Economy. Following Marx¡¦s distinction between classical and vulgar economy, Camarinha explains the difference between a reactionary and a progressive strand in the world of non-Marxian economics. Commonly portrayed as a dated work targeting the general framework of economic thought of the 19th century, Das Kapital appears here as the blueprint for the ongoing construction of economic science of the working class in any period of History.

VC01-297 The SAGE Handbook of Marxism, 3-Vols/Set.
  Beverley Skeggs/ 9781473974234/ Price:GBP 400.00
 
Book Cover The past decade has witnessed a resurgence of interest in Marxism both within and without the academy. Marxian frameworks, concepts and categories continue to be narratively relevant to the features and events of contemporary capitalism. Most crucially, an attention to shifting cultural conditions has lead contemporary researchers to re-confront some classical and essential Marxist concepts, as well as elaborating new critical frameworks for the analysis of capitalism today. The SAGE Handbook of Marxism showcases this cutting-edge of today¡¦s Marxism. It advances the debate with essays that rigorously map and renew the concepts that have provided the groundwork and main currents for Marxist theory, and showcases interventions that set the agenda for Marxist research in the 21st century. A rigorous and challenging collection of scholarship, this book contains a stunning range of contributions from contemporary academics, writers and theorists from around the world and across disciplines, invaluable to scholars and graduate students alike.

VC01-292 Theory of Shocks, COVID-19, and Normative Fundamentals for Policy Responses
  Olga Ivanovna Pilipenko/ 9781799843092/ Price:US$ 215.00
 
Book Cover The phenomenon of shocks is often mentioned in relation to economic crises but rarely studied. This gap in research has resulted in shocks being poorly understood, with no fundamental explanation of their inciting conditions. It is a system-forming problem that cannot be investigated without dynamic ideas about the economy, but an incomplete understanding of this event leaves economic systems vulnerable to collapse. Theory of Shocks, COVID-19, and Normative Fundamentals for Policy Responses is an essential publication that explores the factors that cause economic shocks and the mechanisms of their implementation. The book serves as a resource for the development of policy-oriented frameworks for achieving and maintaining national and international strategies to properly manage future global shocks. Featuring coverage of a wide range of topics including dialectics, self-evolvement, and structural relationships, this book is ideally designed for economists, executives, managers, entrepreneurs, academicians, students, and researchers in the areas of finance, macroeconomics, economic theory, and risk assessment. Topics Covered The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to: ¡ECausative Conditionality ¡EComplex Economic Systems ¡EDialectics ¡EEconomic Dynamics ¡EExchange Destruction ¡EFormal Institutions ¡EManifestation of Shocks ¡EPrice Discrepancies ¡ESelf-Evolvement ¡ESelf-Organization ¡EShock Vulnerability ¡EStructural Relationships

VC01-290 Applied Doughnut Economics and Neuroeconomic Psychology for Business and Politics
  Torben Larsen/ 9781799864240/ Price:US$ 215.00
 
Book Cover Psychological and ecological research has eroded the foundation of mainstream economics, and a new approach is needed rather than an adaptation of existing theory. The most promising new approach is doughnut economics (DE), version 2.0 of the discipline of economics for the 21st century that presents economics as an embedded discipline between the social foundation and the ecosystem with a focus on the disciplinary boundaries. The study of neuroeconomics, such as doughnut economics, still holds a gap between ¡§laboratory¡¨ findings on homo neuroeconomics and the issues in contemporary behavioral economics. To understand a positivist application of doughnut economics within the new economic frameworks of the 21st century, further research must be discussed. Applied Doughnut Economics and Neuroeconomic Psychology for Business and Politics follows the economic history from the Stone Age to that of the modern creative man and then provides a specific focus on doughnut economics and 21st century neuroeconomics. This new type of behavioral economics will be linked to neuroeconomic psychology and behavioral science with a focus in areas such as cognitive training, economic ecology, the new welfare economy, and globalized markets. This book is ideal for health economists, economists, leaders in politics and business, psychologists, economic theorists, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in doughnut economics and the psychology behind it. Topics Covered The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to: ¡EBehavioral Economics ¡ECircular Economy ¡ECognitive Training ¡EDoughnut Economics ¡EEconomic Ecology ¡EEconomics ¡EEntrepreneurship ¡EEnvironmental Science ¡ENeuroeconomic Psychology ¡EPolitics ¡EWelfare Economy

VC01-275 Bridging Microeconomics and Macroeconomics and the Effects on Economic Development and Growth
  Pantelis C. Kostis/ 9781799849339/ Price:US$ 215.00
 
Book Cover In recent decades, the mainstream microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis was proven to be insufficient for exploring the dynamic and complex interactions among humans, institutions, and nature in our real economy. On the one side, microeconomics is filled with black-box models that fail to study the actual contractual relations between firms and markets, while on the other side macroeconomics were proven useless because they mistook the beauty of theoretical models for truth. Thus, questions have arisen about using new theoretical and empirical structures that would better describe our economic systems. Bridging Microeconomics and Macroeconomics and the Effects on Economic Development and Growth is an essential reference source that analyzes the hypotheses that govern the relationships of aggregate structures (macroeconomic analysis) that may be compatible with the assumptions that govern the behavior of individuals, households, and firms (micro analysis), and vice versa, in trying to achieve sustainable economic development and growth. Moreover, modern evolutionary growth thinking is used in trying to bridge the inconsistencies between microeconomics and macroeconomics and confront their failures in order to better describe the economic reality. While highlighting a broad range of topics including globalization, economic systems, and the role of institutions, this book is aimed toward economic analysts, financial advisors, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students. Topics Covered The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to: ¡EEconomic Analysis ¡EEconomic Systems ¡EFinancial Crises ¡EFirms and Sectors ¡EFrameworks ¡EFuture Outcomes ¡EGlobalization ¡EMicrofounded Factors ¡EReductionism and Aggregation ¡ERole of Institutions ¡ETheoretical Constructs

¡§I HEREBY RESIGN¡¨: Job Transitioning: How Individuals Properly Prepare, Resign and Move to the Competition, and How Companies Best Manage That Process
  Steven L. Manchel, Esq./ 9781733040846/ Price:US$ 20.00
 
The fundamental purpose of this book is to provide a practical and useful ¡§how to guide¡¨ for people who are deciding whether to leave their current employer and join a direct competitor, and for companies involved in the hiring and recruiting process. Many employees are subject to so-called Non-Competition Agreements and, consequently, already understand that there are significant risks, legal and business, when transitioning jobs. However, what most do not appreciate is that there are a host of laws and protocols, having nothing to do with whether an employment contract exists, that govern the way one may properly prepare to leave and the manner in which the hiring company can bring the new hire on board. Every year millions of people voluntarily leave the company for which they work to join a direct competitor. Additionally, over the course of a typical working career, a person is likely to change jobs upwards of seven times, and of those moves at least four or five will involve joining a direct competitor. Millions more every year consider, perhaps explore, the notion of quitting their jobs in order to join the competition. All such undertakings, even if the decision ultimately is made not to leave, bring great legal and litigation and business risks; risks that can result in large damage awards, injunction orders and general corporate disruption and turmoil. This book offers important guidance and practical tips on how to avoid or minimize those risks.

A Happy Future Is a Thing of the Past: The Greek Crisis and Other Disasters
  Pavlos Roufos/ 9781780239859/ Price:GBP 15.95
 
Book Cover Since 2010 Greece¡¦s social and economic conditions have been irreversibly transformed, a result of austerity measures imposed by the European troika and successive Greek governments. These stringent restructuring programmes were intended to make it possible for Greece to avoid default and improve its debt position, and to reconfigure its economy to escape forever the burden of past structural deficiencies. Eight years later, none of these targets have been met. If the programmes were doomed to fail from the start, as many claim, what were the real objectives of such devastating austerity? Pavlos Roufos answers this key question by setting the story in its historical context. Analysing the creation of the Eurozone, its ¡¥glorious¡¦ years, and today¡¦s threat to its existence, he locates the development and management of the Greek crisis in terms of both the particularities of Greek society and economy and the overall architecture of the monetary union. He also illuminates the social movements that emerged in Greece in response to the crisis, focusing on what both the crisis managers and many of their critics presented as a given: that a happy future is a thing of the past.

  Fortescue, Stephen/ 9781138961944/ Price:GBP 1050.00
 
Book Cover As Russia aggressively tries to regain the status of a ¡¥Great Power¡¦, whether it has the economic capacity to do so has become a matter of enormous topical importance, not just for those with a long-standing professional interest in the Russian economy, but also for a wider range of economists, political scientists, and foreign-policy specialists who need to understand the workings of this major¡Xif somewhat unusual¡Xstate. Moreover, to determine if Russia can meet and sustain its apparent ambitions requires a knowledge not just of its current economic circumstances, but also of its economic past. What, if any, is the legacy of the Soviet period? How did Russia approach the transition from central planning to a market-type economy (a question which is relevant not just to our understanding of Russia itself, but also of transitional, emerging, and developing countries more generally)? And, leaving aside its Great Power ambitions, does the contemporary Russian economy possess the resources, structures, and policies to enable it to achieve and sustain even a viable society? As serious research on and around the Russian economy continues to blossom, this new title from Routledge¡¦s Critical Concepts in Economics series addresses these and other questions. In four volumes, the collection provides a much-needed compendium of foundational and the very best cutting-edge scholarship. It brings together the most informative and influential major works on the Soviet economy, Russia¡¦s early post-Soviet transition experiences, and its continuing economic successes and failures. The Russian Economy is fully indexed and has a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by scholars, students, and policymakers as a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource.
   
VC01-153 The Economics of Nudge, 4-Vols/Set.
  Sunstein, Cass/ 9781138938533/ Price:GBP 300.00
 
Book Cover Proponents of ¡¥nudge theory¡¦ argue that, because of our human susceptibility to an array of biases, we often make subprime choices and decisions that make us poorer, less healthy, and more miserable than we might otherwise be. However, using behavioural economics¡Xand insights from other disciplines¡Xthey suggest that apparently small and subtle solutions (or ¡¥nudges¡¦) can lead to disproportionately beneficial outcomes without unduly restricting our freedom of choice. Indeed, the apparently virtuous¡Xand cost-effective¡Xpossibilities of nudge theory has led to its enthusiastic adoption by adherents in the highest echelons of government and business, and ¡¥nudge units¡¦ (such as the Behavioural Insights Team in the British Cabinet Office) have been established in the UK, the United States, and Australia. While far from uncontroversial (some critics have questioned its ethical implications and dismissed many of its practical applications as short-term, politically motivated initiatives based on flimsy evidence), in recent years there has been an astonishing growth in scholarly output about and around the economics of nudge. And now, while the hybrid field continues to flourish, Routledge announces a new four-volume collection to provide users with a much-needed compendium of foundational and the very best cutting-edge scholarship. The collection is co-edited by Cass R. Sunstein (Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard), the co-author (with Richard Thaler) of the pioneering Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness (2008), and Lucia Reisch of the Copenhagen Business School. The Economics of Nudge is fully indexed and has a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editors, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by scholars, students, and policymakers as a vital resource.

  Mullan, Phil/ 9781447336112/ Price:GBP 13.99
 
Book Cover Western economies have become stuck in a protracted depression that began long before the 2008 crash. Low productivity, which started in the 1970s, has prevented durable rises in living standards. Phil Mullan shows that the only way to ensure a better future is to create one, calling for a comprehensive economic restructure backed by political and cultural change.

The votes for Brexit and in the US presidential elections in 2016 indicate that many people desire change, offering greater opportunity for this public discussion. What is needed is a new industrial revolution which develops a broad range of emerging and yet unimagined services and products, provides decent jobs and restores prosperity. Providing examples of the new technologies needed to drive change, backed up by a wealth of data, this important book calls for a sea-change in imagination and thinking.

Chasing Subprime Credit:How China's Fintech Sector Is Thriving
  Joe Zhang/ 9781623201722/ Price:US$ 34.90
 
In China, credit is booming, so is subprime credit. Instead of disrupting the banks, fintech is energizing the subprime credit sector while helping the banks. It is a chaotic scene, causing headaches to the government and much harm to investors and borrowers alike. The regulatory stance is full of intrigue. But things are not all negative. If fintech can enable all subprime borrowers to access credit cheaply, safely, and cost-effectively, all the chaos and trouble will have been worthwhile. For decades, China¡¦s subprime sector has been the plumber for the banks. Fintech is now adding some sharp tools. If the two can work together well, the banks will be much safer, and more profitable. This book explains how the major players are doing it, and why there are risks and rewards for us all.

Hayek vs Keynes: A Battle of Ideas
  Thomas Hoerber/ 9781780237305/ Price:GBP 20.00
 
Book Cover Hayek vs Keynes: A Battle of Ideas offers a clear historical account of the works of the two great totems of modern economic thought: Friedrich Hayek and John Maynard Keynes.

With a broad European perspective, this book places the two great economic thinkers of the twentieth century in their historical context, and asks what we can learn from their work today.
   
Insatiable: The Rise and Rise of the Greedocracy
  Stuart Sim/ 9781780237343/ Price:GBP 14.99
 
Book Cover Insatiable exposes the damaging effects of greed in both public and private life, showing how the actions of a socially irresponsible ¡¥greedocracy¡¦ are systematically undermining our democratic institutions. Ranging across politics, economic theory, the financial world, healthcare, the food industry, sport, religion and the creative arts, it demonstrates how deeply embedded the greed imperative is in human psychology, and suggests various strategies for dealing with it in our daily experience. All of us are capable of being greedy in small, usually insignificant ways, but some of our fellow citizens carry this trait to extremes, including such antisocial behaviour as tax evasion. When the public purse is defrauded, everyone suffers. Greed is all around us, a critical factor of twenty-first-century life: the food industry enthusiastically promotes greed in our eating habits, ignoring the well-attested harm this does to our health prospects; the private medical sector, the norm in most countries, treats its clients primarily as sources of profit; the corporate sector cynically exploits the climate of austerity as an excuse to erode workers¡¦ rights and drive down wages; the wealth gap between the greedocracy and the rest of the population grows exponentially year on year. Insatiable is a wake-up call to recognize the negative influence that greed is having on human relations, and to resist the ever-present temptation to give in to its lure. Greed is a social evil that we must combat wherever we can.

  Munir, Qaiser/ 9781466694842/ Price:US$ 265.00
 
Book Cover In the last decade, both developed nations and emerging economies have been rocked by the effects of global financial crises precipitated by a baffling range of causes, from sub-prime mortgage rates to outbreaks of virulent disease.

SC01-456 Cost and Production Functions.
  Sanchez, Brandon/ 9781682500323/ Price:US$ 170.00
 
Book Cover Cost and production functions are indispensable tools for economics in general. In the process of decision-making, a manager should understand clearly the relationship between the inputs and output on one hand and output and costs on the other. There are several managerial uses of the production function. It can be used to compute the least-cost combination of inputs for a given output or to choose the input combination that yields the maximum level of output with a given level of cost. The production function is useful in deciding on the additional value of employing a variable input in the production process. Cost function expresses the relationship between cost and its determinants such as the size of plant, level of output, input prices, technology, managerial efficiency, etc. This book overviews on different approaches to examination of production and cost functions, analysis of some empirical estimates of these functions, and managerial uses of the estimated functions.

VC01-135 Contemporary Global Perspectives on Gender Economics.
  Moore, Susanne/ 9781466686113/ Price:US$ 195.00
 
Book Cover The rise of women in the workforce has led to many campaigns for wage equality and the impartial treatment of both sexes as they pursue careers previously designated as either a man¡¦s or a woman¡¦s job. The impact of these campaigns has been felt, but a sense of gender stereotyping still affects not only the social and cultural well-being of the modern organization, but the drive for innovation and economic success as well. Contemporary Global Perspectives on Gender Economics challenges current economic theory, targeting the way gender is often used for economic gain or increased market share. Experts realize that company growth can no longer be achieved by taking a conventional approach, but few follow through with introducing new frameworks that change the way diversity is treated. By acknowledging that issues like childcare and the wage gap are not only a woman¡¦s challenge, this book speaks to legislators and policymakers, economic developers, corporate practitioners, educational faculties, and students of all disciplines who are looking to change the way gender is viewed in the workforce. This essential reference source features chapters that combine the concepts of gender theory, sociology, and economics and cover topics including economic equality, gender bias, the history of gender economics, industrial creativity, and the impact of social connectedness on life satisfaction. Topics Covered ¡EEconomic Equality ¡EFeminist Economies ¡EGender Barriers ¡EIndustrial Creativity ¡EInnovation and Gender ¡ELife Satisfaction ¡EMicrofinance and Female Empowerment ¡ESocial Connectedness ¡EWomen¡¦s Empowerment

VC01-114 Economic Development of India, 4-Vols/Set.
  Nayak, Pulin B./ 9780415824705/ Price:GBP 1050.00
 
The development experience of India has been a matter of much interest in recent years. India is home to a sixth of the world¡¦s population, and about a third of the country is acknowledged to be living below the officially determined poverty line. After more than six decades of planned economic development the levels of achievement in education and health are poor. After three and a half decades of moderate growth following India¡¦s Independence in 1947, a period characterised by centralized planning, the pace picked up in the 1980s with some opening up of the economy. It gathered further momentum after the introduction of market oriented liberalization and significant economic reforms in 1991, and in the past decade the overall growth rate of the economy has been extremely impressive. It is however important to emphasize that it is not just high growth per se but growth along with equity or distributive justice that needs to be seriously addressed. This collection presents some of the historical material on development issues in the Indian context going back about a hundred years, from Gandhi¡¦s economic formulations to Nehru¡¦s ideas, substantially different on issues such as the agriculture versus industry debate and the relative roles of the public and private sectors. After India gained independence in 1947 the issue of economic development assumed centre stage in national policy making. Indeed one might even say that India was the laboratory where many of the significant new hypotheses or theories on economic development have been tested.

The collection is divided into three volumes. Volume I (¡¥The Economy of the Household¡¦) addresses the following topics: moral and economic conduct; women's position in marriage; gender equality; and household production. The second volume (¡¥The Economy of the Market¡¦), meanwhile, brings together texts that address education, work, wages, access to the professions, and issues of wealth and poverty more generally. Volume III assembles materials under the title ¡¥Women's Views on Institutions and Change¡¦. Women's Economic Thought in the Eighteenth Century is a treasure-trove for all serious scholars and students of economic history. The gathered works are reproduced in facsimile, giving users a strong sense of immediacy to the texts and permitting citation to the original pagination. And with a detailed and comprehensive introduction placing the materials fully in context, the collection is destined to be welcomed as a vital reference and research resource.

This project, seamlessly linked with the Asian Development Bank Regional Technical Assistance (ADB RETA) on ¡§Regional Knowledge and Partnerships Networks of Poverty Reduction and Inclusive Growth¡¨, aims to contribute to the knowledge management process and structure of the RETA by including private sector participation in the ASEAN region. As widespread poverty continues to be the most formidable development challenge in ASEAN, generating information and enabling knowledge products accessible is a strategic means toward increasing capacities among decision makers, development practitioners, and other stakeholders in poverty alleviation. The eighteen case studies included in this book cover various countries in Southeast Asia and provide an insight into firms with corporate social responsibility strategies, and non-governmental organizations. Emphasis is placed on the incidental benefits that accrue to the poor from firms adopting a bottom of the pyramid approach and re-engineering products and services to make them affordable to the poor. Market Solutions to Public Needs seeks to bridge the development gap and establish a viable and dynamic hub of best practices and knowledge products that supports the building of the ASEAN community.

GC01-101 The Japanese Economy: Then, Now, and Beyond.
  Mitsuru Taniuchi/ 9789814568616/ Price:US$ 150.00
 
Book Cover The Japanese economy has undergone significant turbulence over the past quarter century and now seems poised to get back on track. From a long-term perspective, the unprecedented demographic shift¡Xan aging population with a diminishing number of inhabitants¡Xposes a tremendous challenge to the economy. The harm that the country's fiscal disarray will cause if left neglected is not yet palpable with investors who are seemingly content with holding large tranches of Japanese government bonds. Corporate Japan possesses clear advantages like cutting-edge technology and good labor relations, but issues such as low profitability and sagging entrepreneurship are its Achilles heel. Japan's corporate sector and labor market have long been known for unique traditional practices such as the keiretsu, cross-shareholdings, and life-time employment, but these Japanese practices are now experiencing a major transformation. New issues such as the growing dualism in the labor force are gnawing at the country. The Japanese Economy¡XThen, Now, and Beyond provides an overview of the contemporary Japanese economy, explaining where Japan's economy stands at present, the changes in the economy's idiosyncratic features, and the challenges that lie ahead. A major feature of this book is the frequent references to the extent to which Japanese experiences and business practices differ from those in other major economies. This gives readers an international perspective when understanding the Japanese economy. While discussions in the book are based on standard economic theory and analyses, no formal economics training is presupposed. In fact, readers who routinely read economic and business news will find the whole text easy to comprehend without stumbling on technical analyses.

The Small Farmer Can: Buyer-Led Approach Rescues Rural Bolivian Families from Poverty.
  Pattie, Preston S./ 9780989916943/ Price:US$ 24.00
 
Book Cover This book tells the story of a successful development project through the eyes of a main participant. The author, Preston Pattie, developed a novel business approach to transform subsistence farmers into suppliers in formal value chains. Through the buyer-led, business approach, the USAID-funded Rural Competitiveness Activity (RCA project) reached 20 thousand Bolivian rural families. Half of these families¡Xten thousand¡Xhave or will overcome poverty in a short time. Rather than emphasizing project assistance, the RCA team facilitated efforts of rural families to carry out their own productive business activities. What appears a subtle difference in focus turned a corner that required the re-engineering of virtually every aspect of project implementation. The need to reform so many varied aspects of project implementation was not foreseen, and the path to take in each case was not pre-determined. Instead each aspect of the RCA project became an endeavor for reform to solve problems as they were identified or to improve performance toward reaching targets.

VC01-111 Islamic Economics, 4-Vols/Set.
  Alvi, Shafiq/ 9780415519601/ Price:GBP 875.00
 
Western economists define economics as the branch of knowledge or science which investigates how scarce resources are best allocated into competing claims upon them. These claims are socially and culturally determined. Islamic economics and its principles have also developed from a specific set of social and cultural circumstances, but the key to the whole subject is the guidance given in the Prophetic scriptures. The tenets laid down in the Qur¡¦an provided the basis for a comprehensive, and continuous, system of social and cultural, and hence also economic, behaviour, for which there is no Western equivalent. This collection analyses the rationale of Islamic values and Islamic laws in economic activities. It examines how Islam has contributed several alternative values to business and economic policies in Muslim countries. Consideration is also given to how Islam can be considered as a universal system that can be applied to various economic policies, business strategies and government regulations.

VC01-109 Encyclopedia of Energy, Natural Resource, and Environmental Economics, 3-Vols/Set.
  Shogren, Jason/ 9780123750679/ Price:US$ 1900.00
 
Book Cover Every decision about energy involves its price and cost. The price of gasoline and the cost of buying from foreign producers; the price of nuclear and hydroelectricity and the costs to our ecosystems; the price of electricity from coal-fired plants and the cost to the atmosphere. Giving life to inventions, lifestyle changes, geopolitical shifts, and things in-between, energy economics is of high interest to Academia, Corporations and Governments. For economists, energy economics is one of three subdisciplines which, taken together, compose an economic approach to the exploitation and preservation of natural resources: ¡Eenergy economics, which focuses on energy-related subjects such as renewable energy, hydropower, nuclear power, and the political economy of energy ¡Eresource economics, which covers subjects in land and water use, such as mining, fisheries, agriculture, and forests ¡Eenvironmental economics, which takes a broader view of natural resources through economic concepts such as risk, valuation, regulation, and distribution Although the three are closely related, they are not often presented as an integrated whole. This Encyclopedia has done just that by unifying these fields into a high-quality and unique overview.

Book Cover South Korea's economic success has often been called a ¡§miracle.¡¨ There has been an ongoing debate about the factors behind its success, which has attracted the interest of not only academics but also policy practitioners.

The result was published in five volumes in Korean. This English edition is a condensed and revised version of the original Korean text.

  Yueh, Linda/ 9780415697866/ Price:GBP 1150.00
 
How China continues its integration with the global economy is one of today¡¦s crucial questions, both for China¡¦s own growth prospects and for the rest of the world contending with the still numerous developmental challenges of the world¡¦s second-largest economy. In the first thirty years after it emerged from central planning, gradual opening to the world economy formed an integral part of China¡¦s market-orientated reforms. Understanding the effect of trade and investment integration on China¡¦s growth is essential for assessing the sustained development of China. This subject is of growing interest because understanding the international impact of globalization on China, and the effect of China in turn on the world economy, is crucial for any analysis of the changing global system of the twenty-first century. There are already signs that the analysis of China is as important for assessing the health of the global economy, as the analysis of the United States. This timely collection examines China¡¦s global integration, encompassing trade, investment, exchange rates, capital-account liberalization, global impact, and the linkages to growth and transition in China.

VC01-106 Simulation in Computational Finance and Economics: Tools and Emerging Applications.
  Biliana Alexandrova-Kabadjova/ 9781466620117/ Price:US$ 185.00
 
Book Cover Simulation has become a tool difficult to substitute in many scientific areas like manufacturing, medicine, telecommunications, games, etc. Finance is one of such areas where simulation is a commonly used tool; for example, we can find Monte Carlo simulation in many financial applications like market risk analysis, portfolio optimization, credit risk related applications, etc. Simulation in Computational Finance and Economics: Tools and Emerging Applications presents a thorough collection of works, covering several rich and highly productive areas of research including Risk Management, Agent-Based Simulation, and Payment Methods and Systems, topics that have found new motivations after the strong recession experienced in the last few years. Despite the fact that simulation is widely accepted as a prominent tool, dealing with a simulation-based project requires specific management abilities of the researchers. Economic researchers will find an excellent reference to introduce them to the computational simulation models. The works presented in this book can be used as an inspiration for economic researchers interested in creating their own computational models in their respective fields. Topics Covered ¡E Agent Based Simulations in Economics and Finance ¡E Computational risk analysis and modeling ¡E Financial Markets ¡E Game theory ¡E High frequency trading ¡E Simulations payment systems and methods ¡E Systemic risk models

SC01-427 Unlocking Markets to Smallholders: Lessons from South Africa.
  Herman D. van Schalkwyk/ 9789086861347/ Price:EUR 43.00
 
This book assesses the institutional, technical and market constraints as well as opportunities for smallholders, notably, emerging farmers in disadvantaged areas such as the former homelands of South Africa. Emerging farmers are formerly disadvantaged black people who started or will start their business with the support of special government programs. Public support programs have been developed which are part of the Black Economic Empowerment strategy of the South African government. These programs aim to improve the performance of emerging farmers. This requires, first and foremost, upgrading the emerging farmers skills by providing access to knowledge about agricultural and entrepreneurial practices. To become or to remain good farmers they also need access to suitable agricultural land and sufficient water for irrigation and for feeding their cattle. Finally, for emerging farmers to be engaged in viable farming operations, various factors need to be in place such as marketing and service institutions giving credit for agricultural inputs and investments; input markets for farm machinery, farm implements, fertilizers and quality seeds; as well as accessible output markets for the end products. This book develops a policy framework and potential institutional responses to unlock the relevant markets for smallholders.

SC01-414 Structural Economics in China: A Three-Dimensional Framework for Balanced Growth.
  Xiang, Junbo/ 9789814298384/ Price:US$ 138.00
 
This book examines and combines theories of developmental economics, institutional economics and sustainable developmental economics, to establish a theoretical framework for structural economics in China. Analysis shows that the imbalance of China¡¦s economic structure intensified and became more severe between 1992 and 2007. China is at great risk from its imbalanced growth which is a challenge to future economic development. To correct the economic imbalance, the author suggests structural adjustments to five aspects of China¡¦s economy: low-carbon economy, consumer-oriented economy, market-oriented finance, coordinated development- oriented regional economy and managed balance of payments.

VC01-98 Transport Economics, 4-Vols/Set.
  Hensher, David/ 9780415599702/ Price:GBP 1200.00
 
An effective transport infrastructure-and its associated services-are widely regarded as key components of an efficient, equitable, and sustainable society. But the link between transport provision (especially car ownership) and growing global levels of, for example, social exclusion, congestion, pollution, and road deaths is also increasingly recognized. The need to understand how to satisfy a seemingly insatiable appetite for mobility while minimizing its harmful impacts grows ever more crucial. The subdiscipline of transport economics has made a substantial contribution towards a more sophisticated understanding of such dilemmas, and how detailed strategy and policy might be better developed and implemented. Indeed, especially in the last thirty years or so, there has been a veritable explosion in research output, and this new four-volume collection from Routledge's Critical Concepts in Economics series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to help make sense of a rapidly expanding and ever more complex corpus of scholarly and practical literature. Volume I includes an overview of the subdiscipline, and then focuses on choice and demand; and transport networks. Volume II, meanwhile, is organized around the themes of willingness to pay and the valuation of: travel time; reliability and trip-time variability; crowding; life and injury; noise; and emissions. Volume III emphasizes institutional reform, costs, and performance. The final volume in the collection includes the best and most influential work on: infrastructure; pricing, subsidy, and funding; congestion charging; subsidies; case studies in passenger transport economics, and analyses of freight and logistics economics.
   
VC01-97 Political Economy, 4-Vols/Set.
  Schofield, Norman/ 9780415576130/ Price:GBP 975.00
 
Until about two hundred years ago, almost everyone faced the prospect of a life that was poor, nasty, brutish, and short, with few if any prospects for betterment. For example, in today's money, annual average per-capita income during the first millennium was constant at about $500. And most of the next century saw little in the way of expanded opportunities. Indeed, until the early nineteenth century, annual average per-capita income was only a couple of hundred dollars higher, and the average per-capita growth rate barely increased above zero. Why have societies so consistently failed to generate high standards of living and why, even today, do so many societies live far from the frontier of the developed world's economic possibilities? Political Economy is a new title in the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in the Social Sciences. Bringing together canonical and the best cutting-edge scholarship from economics, political science, law, and other disciplines, this four-volume collection meets the need for an authoritative reference work to address these and other fundamental questions in political economy. As serious research in and around the application of economic techniques to political issues flourishes as never before, the work assembled in the first two volumes in the collection ('Theory: Social Choice and Elections' and 'Elections and Institutions') allows users to understand the fundamental constraints that political processes impose on legal frameworks. Volume III ('Politics, Law, and Economic Performance') gathers the vital scholarship on important contributions to theories of economic growth and fluctuations, as well as key work on how those macroeconomic outcomes relate to politico-legal foundations. Finally, Volume IV ('Governance') takes a 'micro-governance' approach, exploring how, for example, corporate law and intra-firm politics influence the macroeconomic aggregates by which social welfare is often measured.
   
VC01-94 Housing Economics, 5-Vols/Set.
  Marsh, Alex/ 9781849200189/ Price:GBP 815.00
 
Book Cover Housing Economics focuses upon contemporary developments and the cutting edge of research in the field, although some reference to classic studies is also made. Part One: Understanding Housing Markets considers core topics in the microeconomics of housing markets, such as the determinants of housing demand, tenure choice and housing market search behaviour. Part Two: Housing Finance looks at the mechanisms of financing housing consumption in terms of the regulation and reform of the mortgage market, issues of default and the subprime mortgage crisis, and the link between housing finance and the broader macroeconomy. Part Three: House Price Dynamics and Methodological Questions encompasses two distinct topics. Firstly, it examines house price dynamics: in particular, it explores attempts to understand housing market bubbles. Secondly, it includes a selection of papers that reflect on how housing economists approach market analysis and illustrate the diversity of approaches deployed in the economic analysis of housing. Part Four: Housing in Context recognizes that housing markets need to be understood in context and examines some of the many ways in which housing markets are connected with other aspects of society and the economy. Part Five: Government and Policy considers the varying roles of government in the housing market: tax and subsidy; direct provision; and regulation.
   
VC01-90 Urban and Regional Economics, 4-Vols/Set.
  McCann, Philip/ 9780415487740/ Price:GBP 1200.00
 
Urban and regional economics encompasses both the economics of geography and spatial economics to focus on the growth, behaviour, and economic performance of cities and regions. Over the last two decades, urban and regional economics has grown dramatically-both as a taught subject and as an active research area-and as work in the subdiscipline flourishes as never before, this new four-volume collection from Routledge meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the subject's vast literature and the continuing explosion in research output. The collection, part of Routledge's Critical Concepts in Economics series, is edited by Philip McCann, author of the leading textbook in the field. He has carefully organized the collection to give users not only a thorough understanding of current ideas, but also a detailed exploration of the origin and development of these critical concepts to situate them within a number of rich analytical research traditions. Urban and Regional Economics is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor. It is an essential collection destined to be valued by urban and regional economists-and those working in cognate areas-as a vital research resource.
   
VC01-87 Economic Reform in Modern China, 4-Vols/Set.
  Zhang, Wei/ 9780415560689/ Price:GBP 900.00
 
It is more than three decades since China initiated its economic reform and open-door policies. During that period, China has successfully transformed itself from an inefficient centrally-planned economy to a fast-growing market-orientated economy. To the rest of the world, China has emerged from the condition of a poor and completely isolated nation to become the most powerful engine of global economic growth. China's dynamic economic transition and development, especially its performance in the current world financial crisis, have attracted considerable worldwide interest. This new Routledge collection answers the need for a reference work to allow researchers and students to gain a better understanding of the history and development of Chinese economic reform. The gathered classic and cutting-edge scholarship covers a wide range of critical issues in the modern Chinese economy, with the particular focus on the period after 1978 when China embarked on economic reform and integration into the global economy. Economic Reform in Modern China is supplemented with a full index and includes a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is destined to be valued by scholars, students, and researchers as a vital research resource.

China's Economy 2010.
  / 9789814339339/ Price:US$ 148.00
 
Under the influences of 2009¡¦s stimulus policies, the spread of economic bubble and implementation of the ¡§12th Five-Year Plan¡¨, China was at a key stage of steering the economic recovery to stable growth.

This book adopts the China Macroeconomic Analysis and Forecast Model (CMAFM) developed by the Renmin University of China and concludes that China¡¦s economy in 2010 performed much better than in 2009, far from stagflation. It also provides a series of policy recommendations for macro-economic regulation and control.

VC01-96 Great Depression, The., 5-Vols/Set.
  Wood, Geoffrey E/ 9780415573511/ Price:GBP 375.00
 
The Great Depression had a devastating effect on much of the world's developed economies. (For example, at its nadir, around one-quarter of the US workforce was unemployed. And, in Britain, exports virtually halved by 1933 as international trade collapsed.) The political and cultural consequences of the Great Depression were equally far-reaching. The ongoing search fully to comprehend the worldwide economic collapse in the 1930s remains a dizzying intellectual challenge ('the Holy Grail of macroeconomics' according to Ben Bernanke). Moreover, the current global economic and financial tumult has prompted many economists-as well as scholars from related disciplines-to explore the Great Depression anew in the hope of gaining knowledge on how best to survive the latest desperately serious and sustained global economic slump. As research in and around the Great Depression flourishes as never before this new addition to Routledge's Critical Concepts in Economics series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the subject's vast literature and the continuing explosion in scholarly output. Edited by two leading scholars in the field, this new Routledge Major Work is a five-volume collection of classic and cutting-edge contributions. With a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editors, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, The Great Depression is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued as a vital research tool.
   
VC01-93 21st Century Economics, 2-Vols/set.
  Free, Rhona C/ 9781412961424/ Price:GBP 360.00
 
Interest in economics is at an all-time high. Among the challenges facing the nation is an economy with rapidly rising unemployment, failures of major businesses and industries, and continued dependence on oil with its wildly fluctuating price. Americans are debating the proper role of the government in company bailouts, the effectiveness of tax cuts versus increased government spending to stimulate the economy, and potential effects of deflation. Economists have dealt with such questions for generations, but they have taken on new meaning and significance. Tackling these questions and encompassing analysis of traditional economic theory and topics as well as those that economists have only more recently addressed, 21st Century Economics: A Reference Handbook is intended to meet the needs of several types of readers. Undergraduate students preparing for exams will find summaries of theory and models in key areas of micro and macroeconomics. Readers interested in learning about economic analysis of an issue as well students embarking on research projects will find introductions to relevant theory and empirical evidence. And economists seeking to learn about extensions of analysis into new areas or about new approaches will benefit from chapters that introduce cutting-edge topics. To make the book accessible to undergraduate students, models have been presented only in graphical format (minimal calculus) and empirical evidence has been summarized in ways that do not require much background in statistics or econometrics. It is thereby hoped that chapters will provide both crucial information and inspiration in a non-threatening, highly readable format.
   
VC01-89 Twentieth-Century Economic History, 4-Vols/Set.
  Magnusson, Lars/ 9780415496070/ Price:GBP 280.00
 
The study of economic phenomena over time is a well-established and flourishing area of research and study, and this new four-volume collection in the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in Economics, meets the need for an authoritative, up-to-date, and comprehensive reference work synthesizing the voluminous literature from twentieth-century economic historians. Indeed, the sheer scale of the research output-and the breadth of the field-makes this collection especially welcome. It answers the need for a comprehensive collection of classic and contemporary contributions to facilitate ready access to the most influential and important scholarship from a wide range of theoretical and practical perspectives. The collection is organized into ten principal parts. Part 1 explores theory and methodology and the role of economic history as either an alternative to mainstream economics, or as a 'help discipline'. Part 2 gathers the key research on growth in economic history. The third and fourth parts cover the causes and social consequences of the Industrial Revolution, while Part 5 brings together the best and most influential work on the feudal and early modern economy. Part 6 deals with free trade, mercantilism, and imperialism. Part 7 focuses on the Great Depression, while Part 8 collects research on world economic history and the slave economy. The final part collects a fascinating miscellany of crucial issues, including taxation and gender. Twentieth-Century Economic History is edited by Lars Magnusson, a leading scholar in the field. The collection is fully indexed and has a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the material in its intellectual context. It is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital one-stop research resource.

SC01-397 Ferraris for All: In Defence of Economic Progress.
  Ben-Ami, Daniel/ 9781847423467/ Price:GBP 50.00
 
The growth of the economy and the spread of prosperity are increasingly seen as problematic rather than positive - a trend Daniel Ben-Ami has termed 'growth scepticism'. Prosperity is accused of encouraging greed, damaging the environment, causing unhappiness and widening social inequalities.Ferraris for all is a rejoinder to the growth sceptics. Using examples from a range of countries, including the US, the author argues that society as a whole benefits from greater affluence. Action is needed - but to increase prosperity and spread it worldwide, not to limit prosperity, as the sceptics would have it.Lively and provocative, this timely book will trigger debate and dissent in equal measure and will be essential reading for everyone who cares about the impact of western policy on developing countries.

SC01-387 Information Asymmetries and the Creation of Economic Value.
  Roels, Joop A./ 9781607504788/ Price:EUR 65.00
 
What do Darwin¡¦s theory of evolution and the second law of thermodynamics contribute to our understanding of the world in which we live? More than you think: the combination of both produces what is called a general systems theory of evolution. The second law of thermodynamics has been popularly formulated as:¡§Systems that are left alone develop in a direction of increasing disorder¡¨. While buildings that are left alone develop into ruins, the reverse process requires the input of solid and skilled labor. On the other hand, evolution clearly proceeds in the direction of increased complexity. Ordered systems, such as human kind, evolved apparently spontaneously out of an initially unordered state. "Information Asymmetries and the Creation of Economic Value" has the challenging ambition of investigating the relationship between the former theories and the storage, processing and transfer of information to grasp the dynamics of economies, markets and industries, adding a practical side to the pure theory. This book develops a conceptually and mathematically consistent framework for existing concepts used in organizational economics. And it does so in a way accessible to readers that are not familiar with modeling approaches, overcoming the lack of consistency and accessibility that is common in econophysics and complementing, thus, existing approaches in the literature. An essential read for those that finally want to be able to understand and use evolutionary approaches to organizations, whether they are familiar with the subject or not.

Land and the Ruling Class in Hong Kong.
  Poon, Alice/ 9789814339100/ Price:US$ 78.00
 
The main theme of this book centers on an acute concentration of economic power and wealth in the hands of a few economic powerhouses. This can be linked to Hong Kong¡¦s land system and the lack of competition in key sectors. The author discusses how the land system, inherited from the British, has helped to create unrivalled wealth for the ruling class and how the lack of competition law has encouraged industrial and economic concentration in the same entities. The land system, industrial concentration and phenomenal wealth imbalance have given rise to a host of social and economic ills. The author concludes the book with some suggested solutions to heal Hong Kong of those ills. This second edition has been thoroughly updated using the most current economic data from 2010. It also features the addition of a new prologue.

VC01-88 Adam Smith, 5-Vols/Set.
  / 9780415561945/ Price:GBP 450.00
 
This five volume Routledge Library Editions set is dedicated to the life and work of Adam Smith, the founding father of modern economics and pioneer of free markets. With individual volumes originally published between 1974 and 1988, this five volume collection looks to determine Smith's impact and significance by placing his work within the context of the historical development of economic thought. These volumes also consider Smith's scientific approach to the study of morality and the sociological foundation of his economic theory, whilst offering pioneering insights into his life and the context of the society in which he lived.
   
VC01-86 Public Sector Economics, 4-Vols/Set.
  Tresch, Richard W/ 9780415448369/ Price:GBP 300.00
 
Volume I (¡¥Public Expenditures¡¦) assembles the key work on the responses of governments to markets for desired goods and services that operate inefficiently or not at all. The main questions addressed include: what markets should a government become involved in to restore efficiency to the economy? How should it proceed in each instance to promote efficiency? And what are the factors that impede its efforts to restore efficiency? Volume II (¡¥Taxation¡¦) collects the most important research on taxation and the principal normative issue of how best to design good taxes from an economic perspective (i.e. taxes that are simple, equitable, and do the least harm to a government¡¦s pursuit of efficiency). Issues explored here include the two main positive economic questions associated with taxation: how do the main taxes that governments use affect economic behaviour, primarily the supply of labour, saving and investment, and the incentives to evade paying these taxes; and tax incidence¡Xwho bears the burden of these taxes? Volume III (¡¥Distribution¡¦) brings together the best work on the pursuit of equity by governments through its taxes and transfer payments. Fundamental questions tackled include the optimal amount of redistribution a government should undertake through taxes and transfers, and how it should best design its transfer programmes to meet distributional goals. The scholarship assembled in the final volume (¡¥Federalism¡¦) explores the special problems that arise from having a tiered system of (supra-)national, state or provincial, and local governments.
   
VC01-81 Feminist Economics, 4-Vols/Set.
  Drucilla Barker/ 9780415439169/ Price:GBP 925.00
 
Edited by a leading scholar in the field, this is a new title in the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in Economics. It is a four-volume collection of historical and contemporary work in the flourishing field of feminist economics, an innovative and dynamic area of scholarship that broadens the scope of economic inquiry and allows a richer and more complex view of the ways in which economies function. The first two volumes of the collection consist of work done before the founding of the International Association for Feminist Economics in 1991 and are organized historically. The final two volumes consist of cutting-edge contemporary work in feminist economics and are organized thematically.
   
VC01-79 Ecological Economics, 4-Vols/Set.
  Spash, Clive L./ 9780415431453/ Price:GBP 300.00
 
Edited by a leading scholar in the field, this new four-volume Routledge Major Work brings together canonical and cutting-edge research in ecological economics. In tracing both the development of thought in the field, as well as exploring the most recent scholarship, diverse elements of the rapidly expanding literature are brought together for the first time, providing an overview of¡Xand vision for¡Xecological economics. While the roots of ecological economics can be traced back to the late 1800s the modern movement developed from diverse writings in the following century. The field became fully established and institutionalized in the late 1980s. This collection shows how research questioning the basis of mainstream economics combined with a concern for environmental degradation and limits to growth to produce ecological economics. There are also many academics who, while not calling themselves ecological economists, have ideas which are directly of relevance. The common interest, as shown especially in Parts 1¡V3 of the collection, has been to move beyond standard economic approaches and towards a new political economy which takes note of learning in other sciences. Besides identifying and collecting seminal works, the editor has also chosen pieces for their ability cogently to summarize and explain developments and ongoing thinking. Ecological economics is now a vibrant and dynamic field, but it has to date lacked a coherent guide to its rapidly expanding literature. Aided by the collection¡¦s thematic organization and the editor¡¦s newly written general and volume introductions, this Routledge Major Work will enable users to make sense of the wide range of approaches, theories, and concepts that have informed research in ecological economics to date. It is an essential collection destined to be valued as a vital research resource by all scholars and students of the subject.

  Cristiano, Antonelli/ 9780415426770/ Price:GBP 260.00
 
Many would argue that the economics of innovation is founded on the work of Joseph Schumpeter (1883¡V1950), though its origins can also be traced to the writings of Adam Smith (1723¡V90) and Karl Marx (1818¡V83). In modern, knowledge-based economies, characterized by rapid innovation, interest in the area has exploded in recent decades and innovation economics is increasingly the object of professional and highly specialized research. The resultant body of scholarly literature is characterized by its multiplicity of perspectives from within economics, and, indeed, across the social sciences as a whole. Furthermore, methodologies borrowed from the natural sciences, such as epidemiology, life-cycle analysis and Darwinian evolution, have also contributed to recent advances. The sheer scale of the growth in the research corpus¡Xand the breadth of the field¡Xmakes this collection especially timely and welcome.

SC01-371 Collaboration and the Knowledge Economy: Issues, Applications, Case Studies, 2-Vols/Set.
  Cunningham, Paul/ 9781586039240/ Price:EUR 275.00
 
Collaboration is critical to building the Knowledge Economy, and considerable work is being carried out not just in industry, but also in government and academic research circles to address the often difficult technical, social and legal challenges that cross-organizational collaboration demands in modern society and a post-industrial age. Usability, interoperability and secure identity management are no longer simply research challenges ¡V they define what consumers expect in today¡¦s fast-moving collaborative world. One of the most difficult challenges of commercialization today is identifying aspects of solutions that are universal in appeal, while addressing local, national or regional differences that can make or break the successful launch of ICT-based or ICT-enabled products and services. This book brings together a comprehensive collection of over 200 contributions on commercial, government or societal exploitation of the Internet and ICT, representing cutting edge research, innovation and good practice from five continents. The strong emphasis on cross border collaboration and adaptation of innovative research results around the world augurs well for the continued development of the European Research Area.

SC01-363 High Performance Multimedia: A Reader on the Technological, Cultural and Economic Dynamics of Multimedia.
  Bruck, Peter A./ 9781586038618/ Price:EUR 100.00
 
The focus of High Performance Multimedia is on the ever expanding European e-content industry. Production, aggregation and distribution of that content are the starting points to any future development towards a flourishing industry sector of the third millennium. Nevertheless, in addition to the diffusion of knowledge throughout the industry, digitalisation has completely changed the structure of the content business through the dissociation of content and media channel. This movement creates problems in the process of the business. Highest technological demands in time and money are limiting the size of e-content enterprises today. In contrast, its distribution is still being dominated by broadcasters and telecom providers that skim the biggest part of the profits. However, possibilities do arise when analyzing the industry of e-content. The European e-content market will be able to play a major role in the future by including all relevant players and their abilities. The challenge during the next years will be to stop the concentration on high-end technology and to create new adequate e-content services providing added value to everyone in Europe.

VC01-77 International Political Economy, 5-Vols/Set.
  Cameron, Angus/ 9781412936026/ Price:GBP 920.00
 
International Political Economy (IPE) has become one of the most innovative and productive areas of International Relations in recent years. With origins in classical political economy, heterodox economics, political science, human geography, sociology and other social sciences, IPE has gained in academic weight and political relevance during the past thirty years and has come to embrace a diverse range of disciplinary perspectives. This four-volume set draws together the key foundational materials from a range of disciplinary sources, allowing students at all levels to have access to the complex origins of this growing body of historical and contemporary scholarship. Consisting of entries drawn from academic journals, books and other appropriate sources and representing both the historical origins of IPE as well as some of the foremost contemporary voices, this set is introduced by an essay outlining the development of IPE since the 1980s and explaining the key themes represented by the entries chosen.
   
VC01-73 Environmental Economics, 4-Vols/Set.
  Mason, Charles/ 9780415360586/ Price:GBP 280.00
 
Environmental economics is dedicated to the analysis of externalities (i.e. the side-effects or consequences of industrial or commercial activities that are not reflected in market prices), including the characterization of possible manifestations, appropriate policy remedies, measurement of the benefits and costs of treating externalities, and the implications for both short- and long-term societal well-being. Such analyses embrace a large number of increasingly urgent issues, including efficiency (are decisions made in such a way as to minimize costs to society?), scarcity (are we running out of key resources, including environmental attributes such as clean drinking water and clean air?), and sustainability (will future generations be able to enjoy a similar standard of living as do current generations?). In four volumes, this new Routledge Major Work brings together the best foundational and cutting-edge research on these and other vital topics to provide a conspectus of a vibrant and internationally important field. It is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by all scholars and students of environmental economics as a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource.
   
VC01-72 Development Economics, 4-Vols/Set.
  Barrett, Christopher B./ 9780415422130/ Price:GBP 94.99
 
Development economics is in many senses the most fundamental field within the discipline of economics, focused on understanding how resource allocation, human behaviour, institutional arrangements, and private and public policy jointly influence the evolution of the human condition. As the opening sentence of T.W. Schultz¡¦s 1979 Nobel Prize lecture declared, ¡¥Most of the people in the world are poor, so if we knew the economics of being poor, we would know much of the economics that really matters.¡¦ Development economics research ultimately explores why some countries, communities, and people are rich and others poor. Rapid economic growth is, in historical terms, a recent phenomenon confined to the past 300 years for less than one-quarter of the world¡¦s population. Growing and seemingly persistent gaps in prosperity between rich and poor peoples - within and between countries - contributes to sociopolitical tensions, affects patterns of human pressure on the natural environment, and generally touches all facets of human existence. Understanding the process of economic development is thus central to most research in economics and the social sciences more broadly. Development economics nonetheless emerged as a distinct field of analytical, empirical, and institutional research only in the past half century or so, with especially rapid progress in the past generation.
   
VC01-71 Pensions and Pension Funding, 4-Vols/Set.
  Sullivan, Martin/ 9780415384322/ Price:GBP 260.00
 
For more than fifty years, pensions have been the subject of academic enquiry and controversy. Debates have raged over, amongst other things, the need for pensions, the means by which they might be delivered, their implications for the public finances, their impact on an individual's employment motivations and their significance for national and global capital markets. These debates, and others, have spawned a vast and disparate literature. Currently, the issue that most often exercises the minds of academics and policy-makers is that of pension reform. It is widely recognized that decades of social and economic change have rendered obsolete the pension arrangements in many developed and developing countries. The question of what now constitutes an appropriate set of pension arrangements is, however, far from settled. Opinions are divided over whether existing national pension systems can be modified to make them fit contemporary needs and circumstances, or whether they should be jettisoned in favour of something entirely different. Central to the analysis of many issues in pension provision is the universal phenomenon of population ageing. Around the world, falling birth rates and rising life expectancy are raising the ratio of elderly to working-age people. For several decades the literature on pensions and population ageing has been extremely negative. Recently, though, a series of books and papers have appeared which argue for a more benign, less pessimistic, interpretation of population ageing. The papers and articles included in each volume of this new Routledge Major Work have been selected so as to reflect the multi-dimensional nature of the subject and the interest it has aroused internationally. With a full index and an introduction newly written by the editor, this four-volume collection is a unique and valuable research resource for both student and scholar alike.
   
VC01-57 Globalization and Economy, 4-Vols/Set.
  James, Paul/ 9781412919524/ Price:GBP 675.00
 
Volume 1 - Global Markets and Capitalism (with Barry Gills, University of Newcastle, UK) examines the relationship between global trade, commodity relations and economic development and covers mainstream takes on economic globalization as well as the two major radical approaches to global markets, world systems theory and dependency theory. Volume 2 - Global Finance and the New Global Economy (with Heikki Patomaki, Helsinki University, Finland) focuses on globalization and money, finance and taxation, linking it to the new form of knowledge-based economies. Volume 3 - Global Economic Institutions (with Ronen Palan, University of Sussex, UK) examines the global institutions and forums of economic governance-the WTO, the World Bank, the IMF, and the World Economic Forum. Volume 4 - Globalizing Labour and Global Class (with Robert O'Brien, McMaster University, Canada) considers the changing nature of class and labour from the nineteenth century to the present, including the rise of a global labour movement. Each volume is introduced by a contextualizing essay written by Paul James and the co-editor.
   
VC01-56 Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation, 5-Vols/Set.
  Drysdale, Peter/ 9780415310987/ Price:GBP 1200.00
 
The Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) forum was established as a regional grouping in 1989 to deal with the issues arising from growing regional interdependence. Its stated aim is to build 'a prosperous Asia-Pacific through free and open trade and investment' and it now has twenty-one member economies, including China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Canada, the USA, Mexico, Peru and Chile. The APEC Summit of Leaders and Ministers from around the region is the major dialogue on economic and political affairs across the Pacific each year. But APEC continues to evolve in a bid to keep pace with the rise of East Asian economic and political power, first around the emergence of Japan as a great industrial nation, later with the rise of the other East Asian economies, the remarkable growth of China and, more recently, the emergence of India. This new Major Work from Routledge is a five-volume collection which covers in depth the origins and history of APEC, its achievements and the impact it has had-and continues to have-on international relations and economic cooperation in general. It provides the information, analysis and interpretation that are essential to thinking about the economic and political framework within which these unprecedented changes in the structure of the world economy might be managed more or less successfully.
   
VC01-51 Economic Geography, 5-Vols/Set.
  Martin, Ronald/ 9780415338417/ Price:GBP 105.00
 
The term 'Economic Geography' was used as far back as the late-19th century, and during the post-war period between the 1950s and the 1970s, economic geography led the field in human geography, in terms of both theoretical advance and empirical research. Since the 1980s it has undergone a major resurgence, and has once again become the arena of fervent theoretical and empirical development and debate. This resurgence has in part been a response to the dramatic upheavals and transformations that have taken place, and which are still occurring, in the world economy, especially globalisation and the shift from industrial capitalism to a new, information-based, knowledge-driven, post-industrial capitalism.

VC01-66 Amartya Sen, 5-Vols/Set.
  Wood, John C./ 9780415367028/ Price:GBP 1200.00
 
This new Major Work from Routledge is a five-volume collection of the key critical assessments of Amartya Sen (b. 1933), probably best known for his work on famine, human development and welfare economics. Sen is one of the few modern academics who has commanded much respect and recognition from across the intellectual spectrum. His work¡Xfor which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1998¡Xsimultaneously embraces social choice theory and economic development, thus breaking the barrier between mathematized 'high theory' and 'real world' economics. With an introduction newly written by the editor that places the collected work in its intellectual and historical context, this collection is destined to be welcomed as an invaluable resource for both reference purposes and as a contribution to the study of Amartya Sen.
   
VC01-65 Health Economics, 4-Vols/Set.
  Culyer, Anthony/ 9780415352352/ Price:GBP 89.99
 
Health economics is one of the fastest growing sub-disciplines of economics and is probably the one that has most engaged with neighbouring disciplines, such as epidemiology and bio-statistics, to solve some of the more intractable problems confronting health care systems around the world. The impact of health economics outside the economics profession has been immense, and it has introduced the common currency of economists (opportunity cost, elasticity, the margin, production functions) into medical parlance. However, the very size of the literature spawned by health economists poses a challenge to both students and to those seeking to know more about what economists have had to say on key issues. These volumes are designed to help readers to overcome these difficulties. Presenting a comprehensive ¡¥library¡¦ of the most important contributions made by health economists, each of the four volumes covers two significant areas of health economics, with each of these eight areas then including an introduction and an article-by-article commentary by the editor. There is also a general introduction, which outlines the scope and content of health economics, to help orientate the reader. The selection of articles made by Dr Culyer has been based on a survey of the principal teachers of health economics in universities in North America, Europe and elsewhere. Each chosen item is of current relevance and collectively the articles provide a comprehensive review of the most important contributions made by health economists over the past thirty years or so.
   
VC01-55 Sir John Hicks, 2-Vols/Set.
  Wood, John Cunningham/ 9780415367073/ Price:GBP 550.00
 
Sir John Hicks is one of the most important and influential economists of the twentieth century. Awarded the Nobel Prize for economics in 1972, he has made contributions across a wide range of economic theory, writing some twenty books. Arguably the most important of these, Value and Capital, is seen as the roots of modern microeconomics and general equilibrium theory. Hicks possessed an unusual ability to synthesise the ideas of other economists - something that is evident in his invention of the 'IS-LM' diagram to expound Keynes¡¦ General Theory, and is perhaps what he is best known to present day economists for. This two volume set is the second collection on Hicks in this series and includes new assessments of his contributions, covering the last fifteen years. With a new introduction by the editor, this comprehensive and scholarly collection provides students and scholars immediate access to Sir John Hicks' contributions.
   
VC01-54 Economy Theory, 2-Vols/Set.
  Levine, David P./ 9780415382939/ Price:GBP 105.00
 
In these two volumes, David P. Levine undertakes the systematic clarification and further development of the theoretical contributions of classical political economy. It focuses on such central issues in economic theory as: * need, value and exchange * capital and its production * the concept of labour * growth * the firm * price determination. Throughout the treatment is at a high level of abstraction.
   
VC01-52 Irving Fisher, 3-Vols/Set.
  Dimand, Robert W./ 9780415367233/ Price:GBP 775.00
 
Irving Fisher was one of America's greatest mathematical economists and certainly one of the most colourful. During his career, he made numerous contributions to mathematical economics, capital theory, monetary theory, and statistics. The now familiar distinction between stocks and flows is almost entirely due to Fisher's The Nature of Capital and Income, and similarly, his theory of money and prices is the foundation of much contemporary monetary economics. An influential and controversial figure during his lifetime, Fisher's work remains accessible and useful to students of economics today. This impressive collection brings together key contemporary responses to Fisher's work, along with later assessments of his main contributions. Also including a new introduction to the collection and individual volume introductions by the editor, this unique set is undoubtedly a valuable research resource for both student and scholar.

  Cunningham, Paul/ 9781586036829/ Price:EUR 302.00
 
Adaptation of applied Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) research results is one of the greatest challenges faced today in building the global Knowledge Economy. While research challenges can be quite similar across the world ¡V thus facilitating cross-border cooperation between researchers, government and industry, how actual research results can be exploited or implemented can vary considerably depending on the social, cultural and infrastructural context of the target country, province or region. This offers opportunities as well as challenges in terms of how applied ICT can be used to both support economic development and inform future research challenges. When cross-border collaboration is effective, there can be a valuable exchange of knowledge that can not only lead to successful adaptation of research results or lessons learnt from successful implementations in other countries, but can also provide insight into different problem solving techniques and new ways of thinking that can enrich the ICT research agenda. It is only through such mutually beneficial shared insight that the Digital Divide can be bridged. This set of two books brings together a comprehensive collection of over 220 contributions on commercial, government or societal exploitation of applied ICT, representing cutting edge research, good practice and practical eAdoption from Africa, the Americas, Asia & Europe.

VA05-155 Political Geography, 4-Vols/Set.
  Cox, Kevin/ 9780415332101/ Price:GBP 350.00
 
Political geography concerns small-scale intrastate, regional and individual activities, as well as large far-reaching processes of global or international relationships. The field has developed from late nineteenth and early twentieth century concerns with geopolitics - the relationships between state power and territory - to a diverse range of topics engendered by new world systems and globalisation. There has been a tremendous growth in study of political geography since the 1970s. This growth has been signalled among other things by the emergence of three serials explicitly devoted to political geography (Political Geography, Space and Polity and geopolitics) and by other journals containing strong political geography content. This collection charts the historical growth of the discipline and the major themes of post 1970s developments.
   
VA05-153 Knowledge, 5-Vols/Set.
  Stehr, Nico/ 9780415317368/ Price:GBP 375.00
 
Knowledge is of crucial, and growing, importance in social, political and economic relations in modern society. The range and variety of available knowledge dramatically enlarges the available options of social action. Traditionally, philosophy was the discipline concerning itself with the nature of knowledge in general. Over past decades, other fields of inquiry have investigated and reflected on their knowledge foundations. The increasing investment in scientific knowledge, in its production, distribution and reproduction, is acquiring greater social significance. Everything that is regarded as knowledge in society has become a legitimate subject matter for academic investigations from various disciplines and for practitioners. This collection brings together a broad array of contributions. Volume I: This volume is dedicated to the topic of Knowledge and Society and has a particular focus on such topics as Social Order, Class, Social Structure, Knowledge Economies, Knowledge Societies, and Inequality. Volume II: This volume addresses Knowledge and Organisations. It includes classical articles on Knowledge Management, Knowledge Acquisitions, and Knowledge-based Systems. Volume III: The third volume investigates Forms and Styles of Knowledge, with special entries on Secret Knowledge, Everyday Knowledge, and Scientific Knowledge. Volume IV and Volume V: These volumes, entitled Thinking about Knowledge: complements and antagonists, address the relation between knowledge and its 'Other', e.g. belief, certainty, discourse, experience, faith, human interests, passion, power, reality, and skills.

  Cunningham, P./ 9781586035631/ Price:EUR 275.00
 
While exploitation of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) is critical to building the Knowledge Economy, many of the challenges being faced today are human-centric rather than technological in nature. Never has it been more important to share knowledge and experience, not just between individuals and within departments, but also increasingly between organizations and across cultural as well as geographic borders. Innovation is increasingly driven by collaboration between different stakeholders sharing complementary expertise, skills and experiences to address commercial and societal requirements that would be very difficult to address alone. Standardization, interoperability and trusted networks have never been more important in enabling seamless collaboration. Building a truly global Knowledge Economy requires ever-greater transparency of public and private initiatives, whether commercial, legislative, political, social or technical in nature. Bridging the Digital Divide requires a willingness to share successes and failures, providing an opportunity to replicate successful implementations, avoid previous mistakes and apply scare resources to adapting lessons learnt to cultural and regional requirements. Sharing such knowledge highlights that problems experienced or exploitation lessons learnt in one domain or location are often directly relevant or applicable to eAdoption elsewhere. This book brings together a comprehensive collection of over 220 contributions on commercial, government or societal exploitation of the Internet and ICT, representing cutting edge research and practical eAdoption from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe.

VC02-35 George Elton Mayo: Critical Evaluations in Business and Management, 2-Vols/Set.
  Wood, John C./ 9780415323901/ Price:GBP 210.00
 
George Elton Mayo (1880-1949) is widely recognized as the progenitor of the human relations movement in management and his work laid the foundations for later management and organizational thinking. Mayo's work highlighted the importance of communication between management and workers and identified the now-accepted notion that work satisfaction, and therefore productivity, lies in recognition, security, and a sense of belonging, rather than monetary rewards. His findings were contrary to the theories of his contemporaries that the worker is motivated solely by self-interest (e.g. Taylorism). Mayo's work on human motivation revolutionized the theory and practice of management. This collection evaluates Mayo's role in shaping business and management studies upto the present day. It includes a new introduction and an extensive annotated bibliography.

  The International Economic Association/ 9781403937001/ Price:GBP 1100.00
 
Between 1950 and 1967 the International Economic Association undertook a major task - to select, translate and publish important articles by leading economists of the first half of the Twentieth-Century which had appeared only in non-English-language journals and which had not therefore had the wider circulation and impact on the discipline which they deserved. The twelve collections reprinted here as six volumes include the best-known European economists writing in the following areas: general economics and methodology; prices and allocation theory; macro-economics, monetary theory and distribution; international economics; public finance, monetary and fiscal policy, social accounting; communist and Marxist economics; welfare economics and public utility pricing; history of economic thought and biography; and economic development and growth.
   
VC01-48 Economic Development of the British Overseas Empire, The. 3-Vols/Set.
  Knowles, L. C. A./ 9780415350457/ Price:GBP 825.00
 
First published by George Routledge & Sons Ltd. in 1924, 1930 and 1936. When first published in 1924, Knowles' first volume on the economic history of the British Empire offered a ground-breaking comparative study, ranging from slavery to Factory Acts, from cold storage to ticks and mosquitoes, from rural cultures to plantation products, and from bush paths to railways. Following her untimely death in 1926, the manuscripts for her second and third volumes were completed and published by her husband, C.M. Knowles, in 1930 and 1936. Volume I deals with economic and development issues relating to the Empire as a whole and also specifically with India, Malaya, Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda, while Volume II focuses more closely on Canada. Volume III covers the economic history of Australasia and South Africa.
   
VC01-47 Collected Papers of James Meade, The. 4-Vols/Set.
  Howson, Susan/ 9780415350495/ Price:GBP 500.00
 
First published by Unwin Hyman 1988-1990. James Meade wrote and published on theoretical and applied problems in most fields of economics. He was always as concerned with problems of economics policy as with purely theoretical issues, and was one of the early British economists to serve in government. Volume I: (0415-35050-6) Contains his most important work on theoretical and applied aspects of employment and inflation from 1933-1985. Contributions range from pre-war papers on Keynesian economics to his proposals for tackling 'stagflation' in the 1970s and 1980s. Volume II: (0415-35051-4) Draws together Meade's work on Price Theory and Policy; Distribution; and Growth and Development. Volume III: (0415-35052-2) Covers papers on international economics, the field in which Meade received his Nobel Prize in 1977. This includes his important 1942 proposal for a post-war 'Commercial Union', which led ultimately to the Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1947, along with essays on the improvement of the world economic order from the 1930s to 1990. Volume IV: (0415-35053-0) Reprints the diary of Meade's involvement in the Economic Section of the Cabinet Office from November 1944 to October 1946. This work gives a fascinating and accessible insight into the workings of government during this crucial period in British economic history.

VC01-43 Paul Anthony Samuelson: Critical Assessments of Contemporary Economists, 2nd Series, 3-Vols/Set.
  Wood, John Cunningham/ 9780415310604/ Price:GBP 825.00

VC01-40 Friedrich A. von Hayek: Critical Assessments of Contemporary Economists, 4-Vols/Set.
  Wood, John Cunningham/ 9780415310550/ Price:GBP 1300.00
 
Hayek's reputation has gone through a remarkable cycle. An eminent exponent of the Austrian theory of business cycles in the 1930s, he was worsted in the controversy over Keynes' Treatise on Money (1930). Following this defeat, Hayek retreated into capital theory, an esoteric branch of economics in which few economists then took an active interest. He gave up economics altogether after the war and turned to psychology, political philosophy, philosophy of law and the history of ideas. However, in 1974 he won the Nobel Prize and returned to mainstream economics as a leading critic of Keynesianism and an advocate of free banking as the answer to inflation. Today Hayek reigns supreme as the kind of moral philosopher and political economist that economics has not seen since Adam Smith.
   
VC01-36 Early Mathematical Economics, 1871-1915, 4-Vols/Set.
  Marchionatti, Roberto/ 9780415276030/ Price:GBP 1200.00
 
These volumes chart the fundamental - methodological and analytical - change in economics that arose in the second half of the nineteenth century. The main characteristics of this change included an increasing reliance on mathematical methods, a revolution in the theory of value, and the rise of general equilibrium theory. This collection traces this long revolution over a fifty-year period for the first time, from William Stanley Jevons' The Theory of Political Economy (1871), to Eugen Slutsky's On the Theory of the Budget of the Consumer (1915). Volume One: The Emergence of the Mathematical Revolution in Economics Volume Two: The Diffusion of Mathematical Method in Economics Volume Three: The Establishment of the Mathmatical Method in Economics I Volume Four: The Establishment of the Mathematical Method in Economics II
   
VB02-70 Encyclopedia of International Development.
  Forsyth, Tim/ 9780415253420/ Price:GBP 220.00
 
The Encyclopedia of International Development is a large-scale work that concentrates on presenting explanations of thematic concepts and debates associated with 'development', both as an academic field of study and an activity engaged in by governments and aid agencies around the world, thus providing theoretical context and organizational background for the subject. Since the 1960s, most industrialized countries of Europe and North America have identified international development as a routine part of government policy. Today, the practise international development is still growing and also becoming more complex as more and more countries engage in development, and international development addresses further, an ever-larger range of activities. Furthermore, many non-governmental and private sector agencies are now also emerging to undertake development work in addition to government bureaux. This growth has been matched by an increase in academic research into the subject, and a mounting number of universities offer degree courses in International Development. This title will be an essential purchase for public and academic libraries, international organizations, charities, government departments as well as students and academics in the field of international development.

SC01-317 Computational Econometrics: Its Impact on the Development of Quantitative Economics.
  Renfro, Charles G./ 9781586034269/ Price:EUR 143.00
 
This publication contains a substantial amount of detail about the broad history of the development of econometric software based on the personal recollections of many people. For economists, the computer has increasingly become the primary applied research tool, and it is software that makes the computer work. It matters that this software should be the best that it can be, for not only does it permit necessary calculations to be performed but it also determines, for better or worse over time, how easy or how difficult the applied research process will be for each succeeding generation of economists. This assertion assumes of course the availability of the necessary data, and that observations can be obtained relatively easily¡Xbut in the day of the Internet, data distribution is also a matter of software. And, in addition, there is the consideration that both the quality and the amount of possible research, as a matter of time spent, may be crucially dependent on just how good that software is, both in its computational properties and as a time saver. This publication includes revealing descriptions of computer-based research that illustrates the role of the computer in the progress of econometric theory and economic research and aspects of the development of econometric software, starting from the hand calculation era and continuing to relatively modern times.

  Darton, David/ 9781861346162/ Price:GBP 18.99
 
This book is about money. Not about how to make money, but how to use it and use it well. A range of stimulating articles from leading international thinkers and writers forms a thought-provoking collection on how we can all use money to achieve positive social change. The range of topics discussed is broad, from questions of economics and government policy, corporate and individual responsibility to how voluntary organisations can ensure that their money is used wisely. Issues raised include: ¡P Does the way we use money betray the next generation? Is dishonesty within our financial systems making it too difficult for consumers to make informed decisions? Are we wasting money on good intentions that do not match real need? How can individuals, foundations and others with social concerns ensure that all their assets are used effectively? The book concludes with suggested actions for government, business, financial institutions, voluntary organisations and individuals. Anyone concerned with issues of finance and social justice will want to read this book.
   
VC10-3 Tourism: Critical Concepts in the Social Sciences, 4-Vols/Set.
  Williams, Stephen/ 9780415243643/ Price:GBP 300.00
 
This collection of articles examines what social scientists mean by the term tourism, and what it means to be a tourist. The volumes chart the sociological changes that have occurred in tourism, and the change from the upper-class grand tours of the late nineteenth-century to the mass tourism of the present day. The collection also assesses the economic impacts of tourism on local economies, environmental considerations and whether this growth is sustainable in a post-September 11th world. Tourism: Critical Concepts in the Social Sciences is an accessible and comprehensive resource which is invaluable for academics and scholars researching in tourism, globalization and human geography.

By explaining the realities of daily life during the periods covered, this collection allows the economic aspects to be fully appreciated.
   
VC01-37 Harrod Writings on Economics, 7-Vols/Set.
  Harrod, Roy/ 9781403917430/ Price:GBP 1325.00
 
Sir Roy Harrod was much praised by Keynes for his early theoretical work and was one of the small group of young economists who worked with Keynes in the 1930s, helping him to develop the new theories that led to the General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. Harrod's principal contribution to economics was the development of his theory of dynamic growth, articulated in several of the volumes in this collection. Beyond growth theory, Sir Roy worked on the theory of the firm and on international monetary theory, pursuing the development of international institutions such as an International Monetary Fund and a World Bank that would pervent the kind of breakdown of international monetary relations that had occurred in the 1930s. Palgrave Macmillan is proud to bring back into print this substantial collection of Sir Roy Harrod's main book-length works in eoncomic theory and to provide a resource that will be invaluable for economists and economic historians.
   
VC01-32 John Atkinson Hobson: Critical Assessment of Leading Economists, 3-Vols/Set.
  Wood, John Cunningham/ 9780415310659/ Price:GBP 1050.00
 
John Atkinson Hobson was a controversial figure in the history of economic thought. His first book (The Physiology of Industry ) lost him two university lecturing posts, which Hobson later describes as due to 'an Economics Professor who had read my book and considered it as equivalent to an attempt to prove the flatness of the earth'. Hobson received a similar reception from the rest of his peers. As an advocate of an apparently fallacious theory of over-saving, a critic of the orthodox theory of distribution, and a proponent of a theory of imperialism which was later taken up by Lenin, Hobson was generally condemned as a heretic by the rest of the economic establishment. His fortunes changed, rather belatedly, in 1936, when Keynes paid tribute to Hobson's work in The General Theory as anticipating his own theory that society can, under some circumstances, save too large a proportion of its income - thrift then being a vice, not a virtue. Hobson's influence was international and the impact of his writings was widespread. This collection will provide scholars with an invaluable resource in their ongoing evaluation of Hobson's contribution to economic, social and political thought.
   
VC01-26 Irish Political Economy, 4-Vols/Set.
  Boylan, Tom/ 9780415147361/ Price:GBP 1150.00
 
This set collects together the most significant economic writings produced in nineteenth-century Ireland. It includes material by leading writers such as Cairnes, Whately and Torrens and also by more obscure figures who nonetheless made original contributions of great interest. Whilst much of this material lies within the mainstream of British political economy, other material represents a critique of this orthodoxy. The volumes are organized thematically and feature material from virtually all major fields of economics including monetary economics, labour economics and international trade. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this set will be the standard reference on this subject. Volume 1: Scope and Methodology Volume 2: Value and Distribution Section A: Value Theory Section B: Distribution Theory Volume 3: Public Finance, Money and Banking, International Trade Section A: Public Finance Section B: Money and Banking Section C: International Trade Volume 4: Policy & Special Topics Section A: Laissez-Faire Section B: Population Section C: Emigration and Colonization Section D: Poor Law Section E: Absenteeism Section F: Slavery Section G: Gender Section H: Education
   
VC01-20 David Ricardo: Critical Responses, 4-Vols/Set.
  Peach, Terry/ 9780415181792/ Price:GBP 1200.00
 
This four-volume set in the Critical Responses series brings together for the first time 19th Century responses to, and appreciations of, the work of David Ricardo. The collection covers the period from 1817, the year of publication of Ricardo's major work, The Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, to 1848, and represents the first and probably the liveliest period of Ricardo-criticism. The publication of John Stuart Mill's own Principles in 1848 marks an end to this period with the first great 'rehabilitation' of Ricardo following decades of searching criticism.
   
VB02-41 Great Game, The: Britain and Russia in Central Asia, 8-Vols/Set.
  Ewans, Martin/ 9780415316385/ Price:GBP 1150.00
 
The Great Game: Britain and Russia in Central Asia is a collection of key works written in the course of the nineteenth century, when Central Asia was the focus of a political and diplomatic confrontation between Britain and Russia. While the confrontation lasted, commentators on both sides wrote voluminously about their perceptions of the opposing threat. Soldiers and other adventurers also traversed the region, to gather intelligence and engage with local rulers, and their accounts of their travels are an important part of the picture. Official documents are also a vital source of insights into the private perceptions of both governments. In selecting items for this collection, the aim has been to include those that are both important in themselves and representative of others of a similar type. There were, for example, a large number of British writers who expatiated at length on the Russian threat, and it would be superfluous to include other than those whose works were of a seminal nature. The era of the 'Great Game' divides itself conveniently into three parts. The first stretched from the early years of the century to the disastrous intervention in Afghanistan which is known as the First Anglo-Afghan War, 1939-42. The second spanned the period between that conflict and the Second Anglo-Afghan War, 1878-80, while the third terminated with the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907, which effectively marked the end of the confrontation.

In this new edition, the chapters have been revised and expanded with the latest theories and data added, especially the most up-dated information on the development of the theories of internal rate of return and net present worth.
   
Japanese Economic and Social System: From a Rocky Past to an Uncertain Future.
  Lonien, C./ 9781586033897/ Price:EUR 94.00
 
The Japanese economy is currently at a crossroads and the embarrassing situation the country faces today is even worse than the Meiji restoration of 1868, the defeat after World War II in 1945 and the yen appreciation after the Plaza Agreements of 1985. Indeed, the traditional Japanese model is doomed to failure, mainly due to economic and industrial structures that are inappropriate towards increasing globalization, liberalization and deregulation. However, Japanese-style industrial capitalism is in this work compared to the economic and social models of other developed countries and this enables us to point out the path the Japanese economy may take in the 21st century in order to survive.

VC01-29 W. S. Jevons: Critical Responses, 4-Vols/Set.
  Peart, Sandra/ 9780415143325/ Price:GBP 875.00
 
William Stanley Jevons was a self-proclaimed revolutionary, whose struggle under what he called the 'Noxious authority' of John Stuart Mill in economic circles is well-known. He was highly critical of the labour theory of value and the wages fund theory attributed to David Ricardo, and offered his own theory of exchange value which he contrasted to the 'mazy and preposterous' notions of English Classical economists.
   
VC01-28 Taxation: Critical Perspectives on the World Economy, 4-Vols/Set.
  James, Simon/ 9780415188005/ Price:GBP 1050.00

VB01-14 New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics & Law, 3-Vols/Set.
  Newman, Peter/ 9780333997567/ Price:GBP 300.00
 
A great deal of economics is about law - the functioning of markets, property rights and their enforcement, financial obligations, and so forth - yet these legal aspects are almost never addressed in the academic study of economics. Conversely, the study and practice of law entails a significant understanding of economics, yet the drafting and administration of laws often ignore economic principle. The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics and the Law is uniquely placed by the quality, breadth and depth of its coverage to address this need for building bridges. Drawn from the ranks of academics, professional lawyers, and economists in eight countries, the 340 contributors include world experts in their fields. Among them are Nobel laureates in economics and eminent legal scholars. First published in 1998 and now available in paperback for the first time, The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics and the Law has established itself as a classic reference work in this important field.

Selling the Free Market: The Rhetoric of Economic Correctness.
  Aune, James Arnt/ 9781572307575/ Price:US$ 35.00
 
Book Cover While accusations of "political correctness" are frequently raised against liberals, there has been surprisingly little discussion of how conservatives foment the use of their own "economically correct" language. In this engaging book, James Arnt Aune examines how the rhetoric of the free market has become the everyday language of political debate in America and around the world. He illuminates the inner logic of free-market ideas, using rhetorical theory as an analytical tool. In the process, Aune confronts head on what he sees as the most serious flaw of economic correctness¡Xits destructive impact on the lives of millions of working people and families.

To facilitate this, articles have been reproduced on a thematic basis. Articles have been selected by their importance for historians of economic thought, contemporary economists and policy makers, providing a comprehensive overview of the English language assessment of Leontief's legacy to economic science.
   
VC01-24 Joan Robinson: Critical Assessments of Leading Economists, 5-Vols/Set.
  Kerr, Prue/ 9780415217422/ Price:GBP 350.00
 
A passionate theorist and socialist, Joan Robinson made major contributions to the field of economics during her lifetime. Active in the profession for fifty years, she worked through a number of major upheavals to the received orthodoxy of economics and, in many cases, was at the forefront of the controversies. Her style was provocative and challenged the leaders in the field. This collection gathers together outstanding material which not only illustrates Robinson's intellectual path but, in doing so, documents the major debates in economic theory.

This collection synthesises knowledge about small businesses by bringing together key seminal articles on the topic. It enables the reader to better understand why new firms are established and what makes some of them survive and grow.

Manufacturing Time: Global Competition in the Watch Industry, 1795-2000.
  Glasmeier, Amy K./ 9781572305892/ Price:US$ 59.00
 
Book Cover Since the large-scale manufacture of personal timepieces began, industry leadership has shifted among widely disparate locations, production systems, and cultures. This book recounts the story of the quest for supremacy in the manufacture of watches--from the cottage industries of Britain; to the preeminence of Switzerland and, later, the United States; to the high-tech plants of Japan and the sweatshops of Hong Kong. Glasmeier examines both the strategies adopted by specific firms and the interplay of such varying influences as technological change, cyclical economic downturns, war, and national trade policies. In so doing, she delineates a cohesive framework within which to address such broader questions as how sustained regional economic development takes place (or starts and then stops); how decisions made by corporations are structured by internal and external forces; and the ways industrial cultures with different strategic learning capabilities facilitate or thwart the pursit of technological change.

  Storper, Michael/ 9781572303157/ Price:US$ 46.00
 
This pioneering volume proposes a compelling new theory of how regions have sustained their economic viability in the era of multinational corporations. Unlike traditional approaches, which analyze economic systems in terms of their mechanics (inputs, outputs, prices, technology, etc.), this work views them as systems for coordinating human actions and relationships. Reconceptualizing the role of learning, technology, and local institutions in development, Storper illuminates the key role of regional economies as building blocks of the increasingly connected world.

VC01-5 Collected Works of Robert Giffen, The., 6-Vols/Set
  / 9781855063761/ Price:GBP 675.00
 
Sir Robert Giffen (1837-1910) was a prolific writer on economic, financial and statistical subjects. His main contributions lie in his accurate measurement and prediction of such indicators as wage rates, economic growth, and national product. Primarily a statistician, his keen eye for the pitfalls of prediction enhanced the reputation and encouraged the study of statistics in this country. Although he tried to avoid political partisanship he delivered a 'most powerful and damaging indictment' of the finances of Gladstone's Home Rule proposals. A strong individualist, Giffen viewed any infraction of the rule of laissez-faire with suspicion, but conceded that a slightr preference to colonial imports might be justified politically. He remains one of the true pioneers of applied economics in its modern sense.
