Book excerpt: Why society's expectation of economic growth is no longer realistic Economic growth--and the hope of better things to come--is the religion of the modern world. Yet its prospects have become bleak, with crashes following booms in an endless cycle. In the United States, eighty percent of the population has seen no increase in purchasing power over the last thirty years and the situation is not much better elsewhere. The Infinite Desire for Growth spotlights the obsession with wanting more, and the global tensions that have arisen as a result. Amid finite resources, increasing populations, environmental degradation, and political unrest, the quest for new social and individual goals has never been so critical. Leading economist Daniel Cohen provides a whirlwind tour of the history of economic growth, from the early days of civilization to modern times, underscoring what is so unsettling today. The new digital economy is establishing a "zero-cost" production model, inexpensive software is taking over basic tasks, and years of exploiting the natural world have begun to backfire with deadly consequences. Working hard no longer guarantees social inclusion or income. Drawing on economics, anthropology, and psychology, and thinkers ranging from Rousseau to Keynes and Easterlin, Cohen examines how a future less dependent on material gain might be considered and, how, in a culture of competition, individual desires might be better attuned to the greater needs of society. At a time when wanting what we haven't got has become an obsession, The Infinite Desire for Growth explores the ways we might reinvent, for the twenty-first century, the old ideal of social progress.

The major technology firms are already striving to create headsets that do not require cables and that allow for high-definition viewing. Artificial intelligence is being used to control VR headsets that have far more powerful CPUs. The new standard will also offer some intriguing capabilities, like the ability to connect huge user communities and additional gadgets. Customers will be able to get photos in real-time in corporate settings, almost as if they were seeing them with their own eyes.

Book Synopsis Endogenous Growth Theory by : Philippe Aghion
Download or read book Endogenous Growth Theory written by Philippe Aghion and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1997-12-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas other books on endogenous growth stress a particular aspect, such as trade or convergence, this book provides a comprehensive survey of the theoretical and empirical debates raised by modern growth theory. Advanced economies have experienced a tremendous increase in material well- being since the industrial revolution. Modern innovations such as personal computers, laser surgery, jet airplanes, and satellite communication have made us rich and transformed the way we live and work. But technological change has also brought with it a variety of social problems. It has been blamed at various times for increasing wage and income inequality, unemployment, obsolescence of physical and human capital, environmental deterioration, and prolonged recessions. To understand the contradictory effects of technological change on the economy, one must delve into structural details of the innovation process to analyze how laws, institutions, customs, and regulations affect peoples' incentive and ability to create new knowledge and profit from it. To show how this can be done, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt make use of Schumpeter's concept of creative destruction, the competitive process whereby entrepreneurs constantly seek new ideas that will render their rivals' ideas obsolete. Whereas other books on endogenous growth stress a particular aspect, such as trade or convergence, this book provides a comprehensive survey of the theoretical and empirical debates raised by modern growth theory. It develops a powerful engine of analysis that sheds light not only on economic growth per se, but on the many other phenomena that interact with growth, such as inequality, unemployment, capital accumulation, education, competition, natural resources, international trade, economic cycles, and public policy.

This book was released on 2022-10-30 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collective monograph is devoted to the study of trends in the development of modern Ukrainian legal society. The research uses an interdisciplinary approach, which allows analyzing and characterizing various aspects, aspects and approaches to the development of socio-legal processes in Ukraine and obtaining socially significant scientific results. Leading scientists Tamila Mangora and Maryna Lukiyanova emphasize that the Ukrainian legislation, which is aimed at settling the issue of resolving labor disputes in court, needs improvement. However, in order to solve urgent problems in the specified area, studies devoted to the consideration of foreign experience in resolving labor disputes in court are of particular relevance. This is explained primarily by the fact that in many countries of Europe and the world, specialized labor courts have been operating for a long time, which play a leading role in the resolution of individual and collective labor disputes, while at the same time ensuring maximum consideration of the interests of participants in labor relations. In their research work, Olga Durach and Yuriy Damianchuk pay attention to the organization of the work of courts during martial law, emphasize the implementation of the definition of the basic principles of the organization of the judicial power of Ukraine. They reveal the peculiarities and problematic issues of the administration of justice during martial law, consider the administrative and legal principles of corruption prevention, offer ways to solve such issues and ensure the right to a fair trial during the administration of justice during martial law. Taisa Tomlyak examines the legal positions of the European Court of Human Rights. Explores the broad understanding in the practice of the Court of "society's interests" in the application of measures of deprivation of the right to property and at the same time ensuring a proportional relationship between the goal set and the means used. The author analyzed the current civil legislation and judicial practice of the Civil Court of Cassation, the Commercial Court of Cassation of the Supreme Court and the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court regarding certain categories of credit disputes and land cases, including the resolution of jurisdictional problems in the consideration of land disputes. In her chapter, Natalya Chernyshchuk states the fact that the growth of the role of a lawyer in modern society is objectively due to the complication of social infrastructure (democratization of social relations, liberalization of economic life, growth of private initiative), the development of the legal status of the individual, the expansion of individual rights and freedoms. The role of various forms of social and legal regulation is growing, which leads to the emergence of specific social mediators in relations between people and their groups, as well as the state. In his chapter, Oleksandr Pogulyayev considered the legal approaches of the political forces of the Right Bank ethnic minorities in solving the issue of international relations during the years of struggle for Ukrainian statehood, the influence of foreign policy factors on the formation of national demands of political parties and public organizations. Andrii Dzevelyuk, based on the study of the life path of M.Yu. Chizhov, considers his formation as a lawyer and a political scientist in an interconnected context. Analyzes his conclusions that a lawyer should study not only the forms in which law is made available to us, not only the forms in which it becomes mandatory, but also the awareness of law as one of the social phenomena, as a product of various social factors that act under the influence of certain laws. The section prepared by Vitaly Kaidashov is dedicated to solving the problem of the legal basis of the safety of the quality of agricultural products. The author emphasizes that despite the high degree of importance of the problem under investigation, the current legislation of Ukraine on the safety and quality of agricultural productsisimperfect, contains many gapsin the legal regulation of the specified issues. Authors Andriy and Maryna Pravdyuk in the context of various aspects consider and give their practical characteristics to the constitutional obligations of citizens to pay taxes in Ukraine and the European Union. In the research of Iryna Skichko, the legal prerequisites for the formation of modern vectors of French foreign policy are clearly observed. At the same time, the approach of temporal differentiation and subject analysis was used, which was carried out in accordance with the periods of the reign of French presidents and in relation to the key geopolitical directions of foreign policy - European, Atlantic, Middle Eastern, African. The content of the collective monograph corresponds to the research direction of the Department of Law of the Vinnytsia National Agrarian University "Legal protection of human rights and freedoms in the conditions of European integration". The monograph uses legal, social and legislative research methods.
