Han Unbound: The Political Economy of South Korea
ISBN: 9780804740159 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book reveals how South Korea was transformed from one of the poorest and most agrarian countries in the world in the 1950's to one of the richest and most industrialized states by the late 1980's.

* The advent of mutual funds, low-cost brokerages, and the Internet has meant that the stock market is now more transparent, honest, and accessible to the small investor than ever before; * 401(k)s give the individual responsibility and control over their retirement savings, and that makes us more responsible citizens; * Federal deficits are bad for the economy, especially, somehow, when they're linked to social...

In reviewing some sixty towns and the activities of one hundred town founders, Martin finds that many town residents were... In examining the founding of New England towns during the seventeenth century, John Frederick Martin investigates an old subject with fresh insight. W...
