Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 20th century, Vietnam and Poland were both victims not only of devastating wars, but also of socialist planned economies that destroyed whatever war hadn’t already. In 1990, Vietnam was still one of the poorest countries in the world, while Poland was one of the poorest in Europe. But in the three decades since then, both countries have drastically improved their citizens’ standards of living and escaped the vicious cycle of national poverty. In this book, Rainer Zitelmann identifies the reasons behind the sensational growth of both nations’ economies, drawing out the lessons that other countries can learn from these two success stories. To explain the source of their success, he returns to Adam Smith’s 1776 treatise, The Wealth of Nations: the only way to overcome poverty is through economic growth, Smith wrote, and economic freedom is the crucial prerequisite for such growth. Developments over the past 250 years have proved Smith right. The market economy has led to a global decline in poverty unparalleled in human history. Compare this to the fifty years of “development aid” in Africa that have only entrenched the status quo, and it is clear which approach yields superior results. Despite these strides, almost ten percent of the world’s population still lives in extreme poverty. So, what measures actually help to alleviate poverty today? Through a wealth of data and stories from the everyday lives of Polish and Vietnamese people who experienced reforms, Zitelmann demonstrates the persistent relevance of Smith’s ideas to economic flourishing in the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnitude of refugees movements in the Third World, widely perceived as an unprecedented crisis, has generated widespread concern in the West. This concern reveals itself as an ambiguous mixture of heartfelt compassion for the plight of the unfortunates cast adrift and a diffuse fear that they will come "pouring in." In this comprehensive study, the authors examine the refugee flows originating in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and suggest how a better understanding of this phenomenon can be used by the international community to assist those in greatest need. Reviewing the history of refugee movements in the West, they show how their formation and the fate of endangered populations have also been shaped by the partisan objectives of receiving countries. They survey the kinds of social conflicts characteristic of different regions of the Third World and the ways refugees and refugee policy are made to serve broader political purposes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Nobel Prize–winning economist tells the remarkable story of how the world has grown healthier, wealthier, but also more unequal over the past two and half centuries The world is a better place than it used to be. People are healthier, wealthier, and live longer. Yet the escapes from destitution by so many has left gaping inequalities between people and nations. In The Great Escape, Nobel Prize–winning economist Angus Deaton—one of the foremost experts on economic development and on poverty—tells the remarkable story of how, beginning 250 years ago, some parts of the world experienced sustained progress, opening up gaps and setting the stage for today's disproportionately unequal world. Deaton takes an in-depth look at the historical and ongoing patterns behind the health and wealth of nations, and addresses what needs to be done to help those left behind. Deaton describes vast innovations and wrenching setbacks: the successes of antibiotics, pest control, vaccinations, and clean water on the one hand, and disastrous famines and the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the other. He examines the United States, a nation that has prospered but is today experiencing slower growth and increasing inequality. He also considers how economic growth in India and China has improved the lives of more than a billion people. Deaton argues that international aid has been ineffective and even harmful. He suggests alternative efforts—including reforming incentives to drug companies and lifting trade restrictions—that will allow the developing world to bring about its own Great Escape. Demonstrating how changes in health and living standards have transformed our lives, The Great Escape is a powerful guide to addressing the well-being of all nations.

This book was released on 2004-05-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobel laureate Robert Fogel's compelling study, first published in 2004, examines health, nutrition and technology over the last three centuries and beyond. Throughout most of human history, chronic malnutrition has been the norm. During the past three centuries, however, a synergy between improvements in productive technology and in human physiology has enabled humans to more than double their average longevity and to increase their average body size by over 50 per cent. Larger, healthier humans have contributed to the acceleration of economic growth and technological change, resulting in reduced economic inequality, declining hours of work and a corresponding increase in leisure time. Increased longevity has also brought increased demand for health care. Professor Fogel argues that health care should be viewed as the growth industry of the twenty-first century and systems of financing it should be reformed. His book will be essential reading for all those interested in economics, demography, history and health care policy.

Book excerpt: Anyone who has been objectively reading their daily newspapers or watching the evening news has to be wondering what in the world is going on. It seems like conditions all around the globe are beginning to spin out of control. In fact, it is hard to identify a time in history when the world has faced so many complex and potentially devastating problems at the same time. In Escape the Global Storm, A personal guarantee from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Bob Sullivan uncovers the reasons for the growing chaos that is occurring throughout the world today. He takes the reader back four thousand years to the time when God Almighty unveiled His eternal plan for humanity to Abraham. He shows just how important that plan is to God and how it is impacting world events today. This book will change your view of world events, but, more importantly, it will reveal a glorious future that is waiting for all those who put their trust in Jesus Christ. Bob Sullivan grew up in Corning, New York. He met his wife Shirley in 1966 and was married one year later. They currently reside in Connecticut as do their two married children and seven grandchildren. Shirley is a life long Christian but it was not until 1976, that Bob committed his life to Jesus Christ. He began studying Second Coming prophecy after reading Hal Lindsay's Late Great Planet Earth in the late 70s. He has spent hundreds of hours studying Prophecy and has put his knowledge to use by leading several studies on the subject at his home church. He has also conducted two "day long" prophecy conferences and has developed a website that is dedicated to current events in light of Biblical truth. (www.folksinthepews.com)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public violence, a persistent feature of Latin American life since the collapse of Iberian rule in the 1820s, has been especially prominent in Central America. Robert H. Holden shows how public violence shaped the states that have governed Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Linking public violence and patrimonial political cultures, he shows how the early states improvised their authority by bargaining with armed bands or montoneras. Improvisation continued into the twentieth century as the bands were gradually superseded by semi-autonomous national armies, and as new agents of public violence emerged in the form of armed insurgencies and death squads. World War II, Holden argues, set into motion the globalization of public violence. Its most dramatic manifestation in Central America was the surge in U.S. military and police collaboration with the governments of the region, beginning with the Lend-Lease program of the 1940s and continuing through the Cold War. Although the scope of public violence had already been established by the people of the Central American countries, globalization intensified the violence and inhibited attempts to shrink its scope. Drawing on archival research in all five countries as well as in the United States, Holden elaborates the connections among the national, regional, and international dimensions of public violence. Armies Without Nations crosses the borders of Central American, Latin American, and North American history, providing a model for the study of global history and politics. Armies without Nations was a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title for 2005.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our taste for blood sport stops short at the bruising clash of football players or the gloved blows of boxers, and the suicide of a politician is no more than a personal tragedy. What, then, are we to make of the ancient Romans, for whom the meaning of sport and politics often depended on death? In this provocative, thoughtful book, Paul Plass shows how the deadly violence of arena sport and political suicide served a social purpose in ancient Rome. His work offers a reminder of the complex uses to which institutionalized violence can be put. Violence, Plass observes, is a universal part of human life, and so must be integrated into social order. Grounding his study in evidence from Roman history and drawing on ideas from contemporary sociology and anthropology, he first discusses gladiatorial combat in ancient Rome. Massive bloodshed in the arena, Plass argues, embodied the element of danger for a society frequently engaged in war, with outsiders--whether slaves, criminals, or prisoners of war--sacrificed for a sense of public security

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a study of Biblical teachings, commentaries, and ecclesiastical histories, you will learn exactly what Apocalyptic events are coming on the earth, when they are coming, why God is bringing such judgments, who will be most affected, and what escape has been provided by God. Learn about the 7000 year dateline of mortal man. The first 2000 years was the Patriarchal Age (Adam to Abraham). Next, was the 2000 year Time of Israel. The next 2000 years was the Time of Gentiles. The last 1000 years will see Jesus return to the house of Israel, gather them from heaven and earth, and establish them as His people for the thousand year Sabbath of Creation and eternity. Heaven will be here on earth; with a New Jerusalem in North America and with Jerusalem as the cities of God and Jesus. The Bible teaches all of the Apocalyptic events will occur by 2007. Man cannot begin to imagine the horror of these events. They will make the Great Flood seem like a brief shower. Only a third of the house of Israel is to survive. Gentiles will be, "as though they had not been." The world is to be scourged with asteroid/comet impacts, fire, hail, pestilence, famine, and a decease that will end all nations. Death will be more common than life. Only a relatively few will survive. Here is the untold story of why God stopped speaking to man in 99 AD; and when He was to speak again. The Bible tells how a beast (kingdom) destroyed the Church of Christ, divine authority, and finally every saint of God on the earth. Learn how Constantine, in 325 AD, amalgamated pagan Rome with Christianity; and created this beast of Revelations that was to rule supreme over the souls of man for 1260 years. Discover how the Bible provides the true story of this beast, the image of the beast, the mark of the beast, and antiChrist. There was to be a brief restoration of divine authority in the last days; and then only a very small remnant would remain to offer escape. When Jesus returns, He is to destroy those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel. This book reveals the true character, attributes, and will of God. Here is the true identity of Jesus Christ. Learn of the original gospel of Christ. The relationship between God and His people is traced from Adam to the end of mortal man. Most important, here is the only Biblical escape from Armageddon; and path to eternal life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are we in the end-times? I believe we are seeing the early stages of darkness that are covering our nation and parts of the world. There are many people who say they are Christians but show no evidence or proof. We see the world in them but not the kingdom of God, despite their experiencing a salvation experience. Sin is rampant among many who declare they are saved. This book unveils a pathway that Jesus laid out in the Word of God we are to follow. Scripture in this book will call us to account. My prayer is that many lives will be awakened and changed.
