Book Synopsis Schumpeter’s General Theory of Capitalism by : Tristan Velardo
Download or read book Schumpeter’s General Theory of Capitalism written by Tristan Velardo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-24 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph A. Schumpeter made multiple contributions to economic science and beyond. Drawing on this wide range of writings, this book argues that Schumpeter provided a theoretical account of capitalism as a total phenomenon. It methodically reconstructs the “general theory” of capitalism present in Schumpeter's work and shows its consistency and limits. The book identifies three key dimensions of a Schumpeterian general theory of capitalism. First, capitalism is defined at its core as a form or method of economic change: the entrepreneur disrupts a static, equilibrium economy (which is the foundation of all economic activities) with the introduction of an innovation. He is an unbalancing and disruptive force. Second, capitalism is defined as an institutional order composed of private property, private initiative for private profit and credit. Finally, capitalism is defined as a "civilization" or culture: a set of values, attitudes, and beliefs. The general theory thus accounts for capitalism as an economic form (innovation and entrepreneurship) which is the source of economic change; supported and enabled by a particular institutional order without which innovation would remain a dead letter (private property, private profit, and credit); all this generates the culture of capitalism. This book will be of interest to readers in the history of economic thought, economic theory, innovation, political economy, and social theory.

Book Synopsis Economics and the Good Life by : Gary Becker
Download or read book Economics and the Good Life written by Gary Becker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bertrand de Jouvenel (1903-1987) was known in the United States primarily as a political scientist. His best-known works--On Power, Sovereignty, and The Pure Theory of Politics--all made distinctive contributions to our understanding of the modern state, and to the creation of a political science capable of civilizing that state. His work in the field of economics is relatively unknown in the United States, but like many writers in the contemporary field of political economy, de Jouvenel is not interested in expanding the claims of economy at the expense of polity. On the contrary, his thinking is governed by the oldest and most fundamental of political concerns, the definition of the good life.The good life is not a product of the marketplace, but of deliberate and collective decision--that is, a task for thoughtful citizens and statesmen, and not simply the sum of millions of separate and amoral "consumer preferences." De Jouvenel is well known for his opposition to the distended state, but he was no anarchist. His eloquent warnings to keep the state in its proper sphere were accompanied by a richly sophisticated discussion of what the proper sphere is--an aspect of his work that comes through very clearly in this volume.Written between 1952 and 1980, the essays range from a discussion of technology to reflections on such fundamental economic concepts as "amenity" and "welfare." They include the deeply theoretical as well as the practical and the concrete. All are informed by de Jouvenel's insistence that a science which seeks to understand the production and distribution of "goods" must be concerned in the first place with the good itself. Economics and the Good Life is a companion volume to The Nature of Politics: Selected Essays of Bertrand de Jouvenel. Like the earlier volume, this collection is accompanied by an editor's introduction that places the essays in the wider context of de Jouvenel's work. This work is essential to the libraries of economists, political theorists, historians, and sociologists.

Book Synopsis La voie de l'excellence académique by : Philip G. Altbach
Download or read book La voie de l'excellence académique written by Philip G. Altbach and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2012-01-27 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le bassin du Congo représente 70 % de la couverture forestière du continent africain et abrite une grande partie de la biodiversité de l’Afrique. Historiquement, la pression exercée sur les forêts du bassin du Congo a été comparativement faible, mais des signes indiquent que cette situation ne devrait pas durer, car la pression sur les forêts et les autres écosystèmes s’accroît. La reconnaissance croissante de l’importance des forêts pour endiguer le changement climatique a introduit un nouvel élan dans la lutte contre la déforestation et la dégradation de la forêt tropicale. La plupart des pays de bassin du Congo sont activement engagés dans un processus de préparation des cadres et stratégies-cadre capable de créer des incitations à « réduire les émissions dues à la déforestation et à la dégradation des forêts », encourageant « la conservation et la gestion durable des forêts ainsi que l’amélioration de la séquestration du carbone par les forêts » (REDD+). Ils travaillent ainsi d’ores-et-déjà à renforcer leur capacité de suivi des émissions liées aux forêts, à améliorer la gouvernance des forêts, à promouvoir le développement et à réduire la pauvreté, tout en protégeant les ressources naturelles de la région. Un exercice de deux ans visant à analyser et comprendre en profondeur la dynamique de la déforestation dans le bassin du Congo est résumé dans le présent rapport, qui s’organise comme suit : Le chapitre 1 donne une vue d’ensemble des forêts du bassin du Congo • Le chapitre 2 présente la dynamique de la déforestation et résume les résultats d’une analyse secteur par secteur des grands facteurs de déforestation dans le bassin du Congo. • Le chapitre 3 fournit une actualisation de l’état des négociations REDD+ dans le cadre de la CCNUCC et des implications pour les pays du bassin du Congo.
Download or read book Marché Noir written by Kenneth Mouré and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenneth Mouré shows how the black market in Vichy France developed not only to serve German exploitation, but also as an essential strategy for survival for commerce and consumers. His analysis explains how and why the black market became so prevalent and powerful in France and remained necessary after Liberation. Marché Noir draws on diverse French archives as well as diaries, memoirs and contemporary fiction, to highlight the importance of the black market in everyday life. Vichy's economic controls set the context for adaptations – by commerce facing economic and political constraints, and by consumers needing essential goods. Vichy collaboration in this realm seriously damaged the regime's legitimacy. Marché Noir offers new insights into the dynamics of black markets in wartime, and how illicit trade in France served not only to exploit consumer needs and increase German power, but also to aid communities in their strategies for survival.
Book Synopsis Gender, Space and Illicit Economies in Eighteenth-Century Europe by : Anne Montenach
Download or read book Gender, Space and Illicit Economies in Eighteenth-Century Europe written by Anne Montenach and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-23 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to contribute a multi-dimensional, multi-layered and gendered approach to the illicit economy in the historiography of early modern Europe. Using original source material from several countries, this volume concentrates on a border and transnational area—approximately the Lyon-Geneva-Turin triangle—located at the heart of European trade. It focuses on three products—salt, cotton and silk—all of which fuelled the black market between the last decades of the seventeenth century and the French Revolution. This volume offers an original contribution to wider studies of smuggling, illicit markets and women’s economic roles by taking into account the economic life of remote mountain communities and industrious cities. Showing that irregular practices were a structural characteristic of early modern economies, it provides insight into the opportunities offered to women in a highly flexible economy where licit and illicit activities were intermingled in a very complex way. This research monograph is aimed at a historical audience and constitutes a useful resource for students and scholars interested in gender history, social and economic history, urban history and French studies.
Book Synopsis Process Engineering Renewal 2 by : Éric Schaer
Download or read book Process Engineering Renewal 2 written by Éric Schaer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process engineering emerged at the beginning of the 20th Century and has become an essential scientific discipline for the matter and energy processing industries. Its success is incontrovertible, with the exponential increase in techniques and innovations. Rapid advances in new technologies such as artificial intelligence, as well as current societal needs sustainable development, climate change, renewable energy, the environment are developments that must be taken into account in industrial renewal. Process Engineering Renewal 2 focuses on research in process engineering, which is partly overshadowed by the sciences that contribute to its development. The external constraints of this interface science must be seen in relation to conservation, sustainable development, global warming, etc., which are linked to current success and the difficulty of taking risks in research.
Book Synopsis Histoire, Société et études Islamiques Au 21e Siècle by : Vincent Legrand
Download or read book Histoire, Société et études Islamiques Au 21e Siècle written by Vincent Legrand and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-08-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embrassant le défi de la compréhension de l'islam en contexte autour de l'altérité et des normes, l'ouvrage est original à trois égards. Tout d'abord, par son approche trans-historique, où passés et présents sont intimement inter-reliés, éclairant des phénomènes contemporains à travers leurs enracinement et genèse historiques et en mettant en évidence des phénomènes passés dans la perspective, voire la prospective, d'enjeux contemporains. Ensuite, par son approche trans-religieuse et trans-civilisationnelle (en l'occurrence islamo-chrétienne) dans plusieurs chapitres, pour aborder l'islam, dans ses rapports avec les minorités et en tant que minorité lui-même en contexte européen, et, de manière comparée, avec le christianisme: une approche permettant par « expérience-miroir » de contextualiser l'islam, souvent prisonnier de prismes essentialisants. Enfin, l'ouvrage apporte, dans une perspective pluri- et inter-disciplinaire, un état des lieux de l'apport des diverses disciplines qui l'embrassent, à la pointe des connaissances des sciences humaines et sociales de 21e siècle.
Book Synopsis Revisiting Gender in European History, 1400–1800 by : Elise M. Dermineur
Download or read book Revisiting Gender in European History, 1400–1800 written by Elise M. Dermineur and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do women have a history? Did women have a renaissance? These were provocative questions when they were raised in the heyday of women’s studies in the 1970s. But how relevant does gender remain to premodern history in the twenty-first century? This book considers this question in eight new case studies that span the European continent from 1400 to 1800. An introductory essay examines the category of gender in historiography and specifically within premodern historiography, as well as the issue of source material for historians of the period. The eight individual essays seek to examine gender in relation to emerging fields and theoretical considerations, as well as how premodern history contributes to traditional concepts and theories within women’s and gender studies, such as patriarchy.

Book Synopsis Rethinking Asian Capitalism by : Thi Anh-Dao Tran
Download or read book Rethinking Asian Capitalism written by Thi Anh-Dao Tran and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-20 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to reflect on the changes that Vietnam has experienced over the past 30 years, during and after DoiMoi. Through multi-dimensional empirical investigations, it aims to offer theoretical and empirical accounts for how a variety of socioeconomic regimes emerged after the end of the Cold War. Being methodologically pluralist (including both theoretical and empirical studies), it aims to give a higher profile to heterodox thinking in comparative political economy. Particular attention is given to post-socialist governance, economic transformation, land rights, trade-led growth, civil society participation, climate change, and the post-COVID 19 recovery. This book comes at a time when great changes are about to take place in Southeast Asia, where heterodox economic development strategy is rather understudied. With Asia playing an increasingly important role in the world economy, readers wish not only to hear about the economic transformation but also to see certain hidden aspects or original evidence in order that they can perceive the other dimensions put in place in a market-oriented economy. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in transitional economics, development economics and the political economy.
Book Synopsis Agriculture and the Great Depression by : Gérard Béaur
Download or read book Agriculture and the Great Depression written by Gérard Béaur and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-14 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role did the agricultural sector play in the economic crash of 1929? Taking evidence from country cases across Europe and the Americas, this edited volume explores short-, medium- and long- term perspectives on the primary sector. The monograph brings together the voices of an international panel of contributors who examine issues such as falling prices, industrial production, unemployment and the stagnation of aggregate demand. Together, they frame the interwar period as a pivotal turning point in the decline of subsistence agriculture and the growth of agricultural subsidies, which remain a key policy tool in many economies today. This illuminating book will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in economic history, agricultural history, globalization and economic development.
