Book Synopsis Development economics between markets and institutions by : Erwin Bulte
Download or read book Development economics between markets and institutions written by Erwin Bulte and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume in the Mansholt series presents state of the art discussions on a wide variety of topics in the field of (agricultural) development. More than 20 chapters have been prepared by internationally known scholars and policy analysts, providing a concise overview of a variety of recent debates in development economics. While the background of most contributors is in economic science, the chapters are prepared so that they feed into ongoing policy discussions and are accessible to a wide readership. The contributions in this volume are organized around five themes: prospects for rural poverty alleviation, sustainable management of natural resources, strategies for enhancing food security, markets and the role of the state, and institutions and governance. It is obvious there are many links between these themes, and indeed the integration between them is emphasized in various chapters. This book is prepared as a festschrift or Liber Amicorum for professor Arie Kuyvenhoven. His retirement from the Development Economics Group at Wageningen University, The Netherlands is a good opportunity to take stock of recent developments in the area of agricultural development economics. Therefore, in addition to being a valuable source of information for readers with an interest in development, this volume is also intended as a farewell gift: to Arie, from friends and colleagues."

Book Synopsis Feeding the World by : Giovanni Federico
Download or read book Feeding the World written by Giovanni Federico and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-16 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last two centuries, agriculture has been an outstanding, if somewhat neglected, success story. Agriculture has fed an ever-growing population with an increasing variety of products at falling prices, even as it has released a growing number of workers to the rest of the economy. This book, a comprehensive history of world agriculture during this period, explains how these feats were accomplished. Feeding the World synthesizes two hundred years of agricultural development throughout the world, providing all essential data and extensive references to the literature. It covers, systematically, all the factors that have affected agricultural performance: environment, accumulation of inputs, technical progress, institutional change, commercialization, agricultural policies, and more. The last chapter discusses the contribution of agriculture to modern economic growth. The book is global in its reach and analysis, and represents a grand synthesis of an enormous topic.

Book Synopsis The Emergence of Land Markets in Africa by : Stein Holden
Download or read book The Emergence of Land Markets in Africa written by Stein Holden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first systematic attempt to address emerging land markets and their implications for poverty, equity, and efficiency across a number of African countries. The high incidence of poverty and the need for increased agricultural productivity remain acute in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa, where a lack of secure land rights and a growing scarcity of land relative to the size of the population are becoming increasingly critical issues. Indeed, land issues in the region are high on the international policy agenda. Yet our knowledge about land tenure security and other rural factor markets (such as labor, oxen, manure, purchased inputs, and credit) is far from adequate to formulate sensible policies. The case studies in the book show that, while land markets and especially informal markets have been rapidly emerging in densely populated parts of Africa - and have generally been to the benefit of the poor--their functions remain imperfect. This is due to policy-induced tenure insecurity and the fragmentation of agricultural land. Applying rigorous quantitative analyses, the book provides a basis for taking into account the role of land markets in national land policies. All too often, the authors argue, land policies have been extreme, either prohibiting all land transactions or giving unrestricted freehold rights to a small elite at the expense of the poor. From the long experience in Asia, it is known that such policies are detrimental to both production efficiency and equity of land use. The authors argue that future policies in Africa should work with the markets. Regulations should be imposed only with careful testing that they are having the intended effects. The Emergence of Land Markets in Africa is a resource for teaching in developed and developing countries, as it provides both comprehensive reviews of the literature and detailed case studies. It is intended to facilitate the dialogue between researchers and policymakers, as well as inspire researchers to go further in their investigations and build an even stronger basis for good policies. The Emergence of Land Markets in Africa is the first publication in the new Environment for Development (EfD) book series. EfD books focus on research and applications in environmental and natural resource economics as they are relevant to poverty reduction and environmental problems in developing countries. The EfD book series is part of the EfD initiative. (www.environmentfordevelopment.org)

Book Synopsis Die Vermessung des Unbekannten by : Thomas Mayer
Download or read book Die Vermessung des Unbekannten written by Thomas Mayer and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-06-13 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seit uns der Glaube an die göttliche Vorsehung abhandengekommen ist, flüchten wir uns in den Versuch, die Zukunft mit mathematischen Wahrscheinlichkeiten zu vermessen und radikale Unsicherheit in berechenbare und somit versicherbare Risiken zu überführen. Da wir nicht alles privat versichern können, haben wir einen »Versicherungsstaat« errichtet, der den Auftrag hat, unsere Lebensrisiken zu minimieren und uns gegen die Restrisiken abzusichern. Doch dies ist eine Illusion. So sehr wir es uns auch wünschen mögen: Die Zukunft lässt sich nicht vermessen und fundamentale Ungewissheiten lassen sich nicht in kalkulierbare Risiken überführen. Das hat bereits die Große Finanzkrise gezeigt und wird in der Corona-Pandemie eindrucksvoll bestätigt. Dennoch schwingt sich der Staat zum obersten Risikomanager auf. Um die daraus entstehenden Kosten zu stemmen, besteuert der Staat seine Bürger bis zur teilweisen Konfiszierung ihrer Vermögen. Schlussendlich zerstört die Risikogesellschaft – in dem Bemühen, der radikalen Unsicherheit zu entgehen – sich selbst, und der Versicherungsstaat muss Konkurs anmelden. Thomas Mayer, einer der renommiertesten deutschen Wirtschaftsexperten und mehrmaliger Manager-Magazin-Bestsellerautor, zeigt, wie es dazu kam, dass wir den Umgang mit fundamentaler Ungewissheit verlernt haben, und welche tiefgreifenden Konsequenzen dies in Wirtschaft, Finanzen, Politik und Gesellschaft hat. Er bleibt jedoch nicht bei der Analyse des Problems stehen, sondern zeigt auf, wie ein richtiger Umgang mit radikaler Unsicherheit aussehen könnte, und hat konkrete Empfehlungen für den Einzelnen, der unter den Bedingungen einer kurzsichtigen Politik wirtschaftliche Entscheidungen für die Zukunft treffen muss. »Thomas Mayer ist einer der besten Kenner der Marktwirtschaft sowie des Finanz- und Geldsystems, einer, der [...] nicht im Elfenbeinturm der Wissenschaft stecken bleibt.« Frank Schäffler
