Prosperous Paupers and Other Population Problems
ISBN: 9781560004233 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In current intellectual and public discourse, the entire modern world-from the affluent United States to the poorest low-income regions-is beset today by a broad and alarming array of "population problems." Around the globe, leading scientists, academics, and political figures attribute poverty, hunger, social tension, and even political conflict to contemporary demographic trends. These authorities assert that the size, composition, and growth rate of population routinely pose direct and major threats to human well-being. They argue for interventions aimed specifically at altering...

The Tyranny of Numbers: Mismeasurement and Misrule
ISBN: 9780844737645 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this wide-ranging study, Nicholas Eberstadt demonstrates that some of the most basic of today's domestic and foreign policies have been buttressed or justified by what turns out to be misanalysis or misuse of available facts and figures. The Tyranny of Numbers not only warns about the ways the statistics are being misused in government policy in the United States and abroad but explains how this process can end up injuring vulnerable groups or distorting the workings of the democratic system.

The Poverty of Communism
ISBN: 9780887381881 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One third of the world's population today lives under governments that consider themselves to be Marxist-Leninist. In many of these places, severe poverty was endemic in the years before Communist authorities came to power. Communist governments claim to have a special understanding into and effectiveness in dealing with problems of poverty. Marxist-Leninist rulers have been in power for nearly thirty years in Cuba, nearly forty years in China, and over sixty-five years in the Soviet Union. How do the poor fare in such places today? Western intellectuals often assume there is an... One third of the world's population today lives under governments that consider themselves to be Marxist-Leninist.

The North Korean Economy : Between Crisis and Catastrophe
ISBN: 9781412810524 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Viewed from afar, North Korea may appear bizarre, or positively irrational. But as Nicholas Eberstadt demonstrates in this meticulously researched volume, there is a grim coherence to North Korea's political economy, and a ruthless logic undergirding it-one that unreservedly subordinates economic welfare to augmentation of political power. Th us, paradoxically, even as offi cial policies and practices consign the DPRK economy to a perilous realm between crisis and catastrophe, the country's leadership maintains unchallenged domestic control and has actually managed to increase its...

Policy and Economic Performance in Divided Korea during the Cold War Era: 1945-91
ISBN: 9780844742748 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Korean peninsula during the Cold War provided a cruel but historically unparalleled real-world "experiment" in the relationship between polity and material advance: an ethnically and culturally homogenous nation was, in 1945, suddenly divided by an arbitrary boundary line and then subjected to two radically different and adversarial political economies for successive decades on end. Assessing the competition between the North and South Korean economies from partition to the end of the Soviet era, Nicholas Eberstadt argues that the storyline is not quite as simple as the now-prevailing...

In A Nation of Takers America s Entitlement Epidemic, one of our country s foremost demographers, Nicholas Eberstadt, details the exponential growth in entitlement spending over the past fifty years.As he notes, in 1960, entitlement payments accounted for well under a third of the federal government s total outlays.

Population Decline and the Remaking of Great Power Politics
ISBN: 9781597975506 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Remarkably, most conventional wisdom about the shifting balance of world power virtually ignores one of the most fundamental components of power: population. The studies that do consider international security and demographic trends almost unanimously focus on population growth as a liability. In contrast, the distinguished contributors to this volume--security experts from the Naval War College, the American Enterprise Institute, and other think tanks--contend that demographic decline in key world powers now poses a profound challenge to global stability.The countries at greatest risk...
