Why Some Things Should Not Be for Sale
ISBN: 9780195311594 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What's wrong with markets in everything? Markets today are widely recognized as the most efficient way in general to organize production and distribution in a complex economy.

This book provides the first systematic empirical analysis of privatization processes worldwide to explain how and why governments privatize.

ISBN: 9780199267552 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We live in a 'bimoral' society, in which people govern their lives by two contrasting sets of principles. On the one hand there are the principles associated with traditional morality.
