Book excerpt: This paper evaluates the basic principles of the cumulative causation concept and why it is thus vital to our understanding of uneven regional development and its impact on economic geography. Moreover, this paper examines how it differs from different mechanisms that plan to interpret how unequal regional development is increased. Additionally to it, this paper unravels the key features derived from the cumulative causation phenomenon: path dependence and uneven economic development. Finally, by illustrating the roots of the various schools of definitions, comparing the various approaches to economic geography, primarily the neoclassical approach, Keynesian approach, geographical social science, institutional approach, and evolutionary approach, this paper argues that cumulative causation contains a theoretical foundation in Keynesianism, given that Myrdal, Kaldor, and others who first applied the idea in regional economic development were, broadly speaking, Keynesian. However, it really is a hybrid concept about a mechanism compatible with other theoretical foundations.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Inequality by : Frank Stilwell
Download or read book The Political Economy of Inequality written by Frank Stilwell and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-05-10 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last few decades, the gap between the incomes, wealth and living standards of rich and poor people has increased in most countries. Economic inequality has become a defining issue of our age. In this book, leading political economist Frank Stilwell provides a comprehensive overview of the nature, causes, and consequences of this growing divide. He shows how we can understand inequalities of wealth and incomes, globally and nationally, examines the scale of the problem and explains how it affects our wellbeing. He also shows that, although governments are often committed to ‘growth at all costs’ and ‘trickle down’ economics, there are alternative public policies that could be used to narrow the gap between rich and poor. Stilwell’s engaging and clear guide to the issues will be indispensable reading for all students, general readers and scholars interested in inequality in political economy, economics, public policy and beyond.
Book Synopsis The Foundations of Non-Equilibrium Economics by : Sebastian Berger
Download or read book The Foundations of Non-Equilibrium Economics written by Sebastian Berger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking volume presents essays on the foundations of non-equilibrium economics, i.e. the principle of circular cumulative causation (CCC). This work presents empirical research on how the interplay of technology’s increasing returns to scale, institutions, resources, and economic policy leads to virtuous circles of economic growth and development, but also to vicious circles of social and ecological degradation. In particular, evidence is provided for the important role of the "development state" and strategic trade policy, economies of large-scale production in manufacturing, the regional level of development and community-based resource management regimes. While demonstrating CCC’s strength in generating empirical research, the book also provides insights into its philosophical foundations and intellectual history. Several essays trace the roots of this full-fledged theoretical framework back to Adam Smith, Classical Political Economy, Thorstein Veblen, Gunnar Myrdal, K. William Kapp and Nicholas Kaldor. As the most comprehensive collection of the growing body of CCC research to date, this book also reflects the emergence of an economic paradigm for understanding economic dynamics and for crafting viable development strategies for the 21st century. The volume will be of great interest to scholars of growth and development economics, institutional and evolutionary economics, political economy, and Post Keynesian economics from undergraduate to postgraduate research levels.
Book Synopsis Rapid Growth and Relative Decline by : M. Setterfield
Download or read book Rapid Growth and Relative Decline written by M. Setterfield and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-12-17 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do high rates of economic growth create conditions favourable to their own maintenance? Or can a period of high growth 'sow the seeds of its own destruction'? This book addresses these questions by conceiving growth and structural change as path dependent processes. Methodological, theoretical and empirical insights are combined in an extended model of cumulative causation, which shows how endogenously induced technological and institutional changes may cause the dynamics of a period of high growth to break down. This casts new light on the debate over Britain's economic decline.

Book Synopsis The SIJORI Cross-Border Region by : Francis E Hutchinson
Download or read book The SIJORI Cross-Border Region written by Francis E Hutchinson and published by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five years ago, the governments of Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia agreed to jointly promote the city-state, the state of Johor in Malaysia, and the Riau Islands in Indonesia. Facilitated by common cultural references, a more distant shared history, and complementary attributes, interactions between the three territories developed quickly. Logistics networks have proliferated and production chains link firms based in one location with affiliates or transport facilities in the other territories. These cross-border links have enabled all three locations to develop their economies and enjoy rising standards of living. Initially economic in nature, the interactions between Singapore, Johor, and the Riau Islands have multiplied and grown deeper. Today, people cross the borders to work, go to school, or avail of an increasing range of goods and services. New political, social, and cultural phenomena have developed. Policymakers in the various territories now need to reconcile economic imperatives and issues of identity and sovereignty. Enabled by their proximity and increasing opportunities, families have also begun to straddle borders, with resulting questions about citizenship and belonging. Using the Cross-Border Region framework - which seeks to analyse these three territories as one entity simultaneously divided and bound together by its borders - this book brings together scholars from a range of disciplines. Its 18 chapters and more than 20 maps examine the interaction between Singapore, Johor, and the Riau Islands over the past quarter-century, and seek to shed light on how these territories could develop in the future.

Download or read book Economic Abundance written by Dugger and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most principles of economics texts are predicated narrowly on the concept of scarcity as a fundamental force, but that is only one aspect of economics. This supplemental text for basic and intermediate level undergraduates provides a serious discussion of the concept of abundance - what it means, how we can move toward it, and what keeps us from doing so. The authors first outline the development of the concept of abundance and its meaning with discussions of the roles of population, resources, and the environment. Then they consider why abundance escapes us, focusing on the detrimental roles of four predatory behaviors - classism, nationalism, sexism, and racism. As a remedy, they propose a policy of universal employment as a replacement for full employment, and explore the effects of pushing the unemployment rate down to absolute zero.
