Visions of the Future: The Distant Past, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
ISBN: 9780195102864 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "This is an exceedingly long short book, stretching at least fifty thousand years into the past and who knows how many into the future." So begins Visions of the Future, the prophetic new book by eminent economist Robert Heilbroner. Heilbroner's basic premise is stunning in its elegant simplicity. He contends that throughout all of human history, despite the huge gulf in social organization, technological development, and cultural achievement that divides us from the earliest known traces of homo sapiens, there have really only been three distinct ways of looking at the future.

Marxism (Revised): For and Against
ISBN: 9780393951660 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the lucid style and engaging manner that have become his trademark, Robert L. Heilbroner explains and explores the central elements of Marxist thought: the meaning of a "dialectical" philosophy, the usefulness and problems of a " materialist" interpretation" of history, the power of Marx's "socioanalytic" penetration of capitalism, and the hopes and disconcerting problems involved in a commitment to socialism. Scholarly without being academic, searching without assuming a prior knowledge of the subject, Dr. Heilbroner enables us to appreciate the greatness of Mark while avoiding an...

ISBN: 9780393305777 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What lies behind the veil of economics? Power and ideology, answers Robert Heilbroner--the power of our economic involvement in society to shape the ways we think about it; the visions and values that add unsuspected ideological color to our economic beliefs about it. Most important, Heilbroner shows why economics has become the reigning form of social inquiry and how we might penetrate its mystique.

In its fourth edition, Economics Explained continues its announced purpose--to explain that mysterious thing called economics--with a new urgency. It is announced in the first sentence of the introduction: "Just in case the reader-to-be hasn't noticed, disturbing things are going on in the American economy these days." This new edition is about these disturbing things: a trend toward inequality of incomes, the appearance of a new "globalized" capitalism, the "specter" of inflation. As before, Robert Heilbroner and Lester Thurow treat these problems in language that seeks to...

The Nature and Logic of Capitalism
ISBN: 9780393955293 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In search of an answer, The Nature and Logic of Capitalism takes us on a far-ranging exploration to the unconscious levels of the human psyche and the roots of domination and submission; to the organization of primitive society and the origins of wealth; to the sources of profit and the conception of a "regime" of capital; to the interplay of relatively slow-changing institutions and the powerful force of the accumulation of wealth. By the end of this tour we have grappled not only with ideas of Adam Smith and Karl Marx but with Freud and modern anthropologists as well. And we are far closer...

The Crisis of Vision in Modern Economic Thought
ISBN: 9780521497145 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A deep and widespread crisis affects modern economic theory, a crisis that derives from the absence of a "vision"--a set of widely shared political and social preconceptions--on which all economics ultimately depends. This absence, in turn, reflects the collapse of the Keynesian view that provided such a foundation from 1940 through the early 1970s, comparable to earlier visions provided by Smith, Ricardo, Mill, and Marshall. The "unraveling" of Keynesianism has been followed by a division into discordant and ineffective camps whose common denominator seems to be their shared analytical...

Understanding American Economic Decline
ISBN: 9780521450638 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The public has been painfully aware of the economy's stagnation for a long time. In this major new volume, leading thinkers in the social sciences directly confront the various economic difficulties facing the United States today. Underlying each essay is the premise that these problems can be understood only in a broad historical context--that such difficulties arise not from cyclical phenomena, but from structural distortions in the economy.
