ISBN: 9781892584335 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 582 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Throughout the ages, wise men have maintained that the making of a bad man out of a good man is simply the size of the reward or the grandiosity of the identity achieved therein (i.e., "every man has his price.") What can happen when the funds available can meet anyone's price? This is the very core of THE PRICE OF THEIR SOULS. The author's life became entwined with that of Howard Hughes' in 1964, on a remote road in Southern Mexico when Howard, then a stranger, committed a random act of kindness that may have saved the author's life. The author and Howard became friends in their two-day...

Buying the Best: Cost Escalation in Elite Higher Education
ISBN: 9780691601366 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Since the early 1980s, the rapidly increasing cost of college, together with what many see as inadequate attention to teaching, has elicited a barrage of protest. Buying the Best looks at the realities behind these criticisms--at the economic factors that are in fact driving the institutions that have been described as machines without brakes. In designing his study, Charles Clotfelter examines the escalation in spending in the arts and sciences at four elite institutions: Harvard, Duke, Chicago, and Carleton. He argues that the rise in costs has less to do with increasing faculty...

ISBN: 9780226110486 / Angielski / Twarda / 1985 / 329 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The United States is distinctive among Western countries in its reliance on nonprofit institutions to perform major social functions. This reliance is rooted in American history and is fostered by federal tax provisions for charitable giving. In this study, Charles T. Clotfelter demonstrates that changes in tax policy effected through legislation or inflation can have a significant impact on the level and composition of giving.
Clotfelter focuses on empirical analysis of the effects of tax policy on charitable giving in four major areas: individual contributions, volunteering, corporate...

On the Third Hand: Wit and Humor in the Dismal Science
ISBN: 9780472065295 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) If ever you suspected that economic humor is an oxymoron, read on. This anthology, offering over a hundred selections of economic humor in the form of essays, fables, cartoons, verses, parodies, and epigrams drawn from works ancient and modern, will disabuse you of that notion by way of laughter. The contributors, about evenly divided between economists and noneconomists, share a common urge to poke fun at economics and its practitioners. Their styles and methods, however, range from kind and gentle to mordant and misanthropic; this is not surprising given the diversity of their professions:...
