Book Synopsis Jobless Growth in the Dominican Republic by : Christian Krohn-Hansen
Download or read book Jobless Growth in the Dominican Republic written by Christian Krohn-Hansen and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dominican Republic has posted impressive economic growth rates over the past thirty years. Despite this, the generation of new, good jobs has been remarkably weak. How have ordinary and poor Dominicans worked and lived in the shadow of the country's conspicuous growth rates? This book considers this question through an ethnographic exploration of the popular economy in the Dominican capital. Focusing on the city's precarious small businesses, including furniture manufacturers, food stalls, street-corner stores, and savings and credit cooperatives, Krohn-Hansen shows how people make a living, tackle market shifts, and the factors that characterize their relationship to the state and pervasive corruption. Empirically grounded, this book examines the condition of the urban masses in Santo Domingo, offering an original and captivating contribution to the scholarship on popular economic practices, urban changes, and today's Latin America and the Caribbean. This will be essential reading for scholars and policy makers.
Book Synopsis Jobless Growth by : Ricardo J. Caballero
Download or read book Jobless Growth written by Ricardo J. Caballero and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A central determinant of the political economy of capital-labor relations is the appropriability of specific quasi-rents." This paper is concerned with the general-equilibrium interaction of appropriability and characteristics of technology namely, the embodiment of technology in capital and capital-labor substitutability in the technological menu. Technological embodiment means that the supply of capital is effectively much less elastic in the short than in the long run, and is therefore more exposed to appropriability; technology choice implies that an attempt at appropriating capital will induce a substitution away from labor in the long run, and constitutes a mechanism to thwart appropriation. Shifts in European labor relations in the last three decades offer a good laboratory to explore the empirical relevance of those mechanisms. The evolution of the labor share, the profit rate, the capital/output ratio, and unemployment which we examine more particularly in the case of France appears highly supportive

This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While government vote buyers continue to rant and rave, scream and yell about all kinds of current politically correct or politically incorrect discrimination in the business and corporate world, these very same politicos totally ignore the real government created discrimination practiced every day, that of the inferior education provided by most public school systems throughout every city and state in America. The business of businessis business. It is also often stated that any action undertaken or performed by a corporation that does not make the maximum amount of profit for that corporation, is a crime committed against the businesss owners/stockholders. We have now had five years of a micro-managing, over-controlling federal government whos only stated goal is: To put every American business out of business, and every American worker out of work. Good Job Guys!

Book Synopsis Just Around The Corner by : Stanley Aronowitz
Download or read book Just Around The Corner written by Stanley Aronowitz and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2005-03-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have always believed that economic growth leads to job growth. In this groundbreaking analysis, Stanley Aronowitz argues that this is no longer true. Just Around the Corner examines the state of the American economy as planned by Democrats and Republicans over the last thirty years. Aronowitz finds that economic growth has become "delinked" from job creation, and that unemployment and underemployment are a permanent condition of our economy. He traces the historical roots of this state of affairs and sees under the surface of booms and busts a continuum of economic austerity that creates financial windfalls for the rich at the expense of most Americans. Aronowitz also explores the cultural and political processes by which we have come to describe and accept economics in the United States. He concludes by presenting a concrete plan of action that would guarantee employment and living wages for all Americans. With both measured analysis and persuasive reasoning, Just Around the Corner provides an indispensable guide to our current economic predicament and a bold challenge to economists and policymakers.

Book Synopsis Constraints to Growth and Job Creation in Low-income Commonwealth of Independent States Countries by : Paolo Verme
Download or read book Constraints to Growth and Job Creation in Low-income Commonwealth of Independent States Countries written by Paolo Verme and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Despite sustained output growth since 1997, low-income Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries (CIS-7) have not experienced growth in employment, a phenomenon observed elsewhere in transitional economies and labeled as "jobless growth." The author addresses the causes of this phenomenon in the CIS-7. He argues that the lack of job creation is explained by a combination of structural factors, including capital-intensive growth, large potential for productivity gains among existing workers, and compartmentalized economies best depicted by a dual labor market framework. Agriculture and industry have performed asymmetrically and grown apart during the recession and during the growth periods. Agriculture provides subsistence and refuge from urban poverty and unemployment but is unable to grow beyond subsistence because it is disconnected from industrial manufacturing and because the agricultural infrastructure is depleted and underinvested. Industry has progressively lost its manufacturing capacity, and focuses on capital-intensive, highly productive sectors, and provides good wages for the few highly skilled workers. With governments and the international community currently refraining from investing in agricultural and industrial policies focused on reviving manufacturing, jobless growth is likely to persist.

Book Synopsis The Myth of the Shrinking State by : Baldev Raj Nayar
Download or read book The Myth of the Shrinking State written by Baldev Raj Nayar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-29 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the nature of the impact of globalization on the Indian state. It takes as its point of departure the thesis, set out in the introductory essay, that globalization has resulted in the erosion of the economic and welfare roles of the state. According to the author, the shift to liberalization, the resurgence of the private sector, and the acceleration of growth rate paradoxically 'empowered' and 'enabled' the state. He argues that the examination of the quantitative data strongly points to the continued expansion of the economic and welfare roles of the state, rather than decline. Therefore, the retrenchment of the state does not have much merit. He emphasizes on the fundamental continuity in the key functions of the state. He concludes by saying that the state is lagging behind in the areas of internal security, education and health, and makes suggestions for institutional reforms.

Book Synopsis Growth, Unemployment, Distribution and Government by : V. Borooah
Download or read book Growth, Unemployment, Distribution and Government written by V. Borooah and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-08-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to set out in a comprehensive, but succinct manner, the key points surrounding four economic issues that generate, today, much discussion and debate. These are the issues of growth, unemployment, distribution and government. It is aimed at an audience that is sufficiently interested in economic issues to read a book that sets out these issues clearly, comprehensively and above all, seriously. This has implications for both the style and the content of the book. Clarity requires that the arguments be presented coherently, without resort to jargon. Comprehensiveness requires a wide perspective embracing theoretical, empirical and policy matters. Lastly, seriousness requires that the most up-to-date thinking on economic matters is presented in digestible form, but without violence to the integrity of the original arguments. Achieving this trinity of objectives has been the primary aim of this book.
