We take for granted today that the assessments, measurements, and forecasts of economists are crucial to the decision-making of governments and businesses alike. But less than a century ago that wasn't the case--economists simply didn't have the necessary information or statistical tools to understand the ever more complicated modern economy.
With Political Arithmetic, Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Fogel and his collaborators tell the story of economist Simon Kuznets, the founding of the National Bureau of Economic Research, and the creation of the concept of GNP, which for...

The Escape from Hunger and Premature Death, 1700 2100: Europe, America, and the Third World

Nobel laureate Robert Fogel's compelling new study examines health, nutrition and technology from 1700 to 2100.

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...

Police in Urban America, 1860-1920
ISBN: 9780521531252 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the social history of crime an-long a variety of disciplines.

This narrowed role hampered their ability to control crime, and, as modern social services developed and the police came increasingly...
