The Economics of Rights, Co-Operation and Welfare
ISBN: 9780333682395 / Angielski / Twarda / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a new edition - with a substantial new introduction - of a book which has had a significant impact on economics, philosophy and political science. Robert Sugden shows how conventions of property, mutual aid, and voluntary supply of public goods can evolve spontaneously out of the interactions of self-interested individuals, and can become moral norms.

This resulted in the emergence of national types of capitalism. While analyzing the increased competition between them, R.C.Mascarenhas also notes the influence of globalization...

ISBN: 9780415196727 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780415197434 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many governments in East Asia claim that the rule of law is a distinctive characteristic of their political system. Major multilateral agencies such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank spend considerable resources in the provision of legal reform projects. There is an assumption that the rule of law will result in a transition to market-based economies and even democracy, but is this really true for Asia? This text contests that the liberal notion of the rule of law regulating the exercise of power is unlikely to come about in much of East Asia. Indeed, they argue that the rule...

ISBN: 9780415301428 / Angielski / Miękka / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The new economy has been criticised greatly of late, and after the speculation and hype that surrounded the internet bubble, this is hardly surprising. This book, first published in French and updated here, however treats the new economy as a discourse - one that is often misleading. In order to understand what happened during the internet bubble and the fuss that surrounded it, a central element - intellectual speculation - needs to be understood. This volume treats this speculation as a form of ultra-free-market thinking. According to this line of thought, the internet and the digital...

ISBN: 9780415349000 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The decades following the Second World War have been depicted as a kind of "golden age of capitalism." In Western societies, an unprecedented economic growth and a balancing of the competing claims of capital and labour had, apparently, been brought under the control of political and democratic institutions. However, efforts to combine this outstanding economic performance with social security appear to be endangered half way through the first decade of the 21st century. This book draws together an international team of contributors, including Douglass North, Harold Demsetz and Michael Piore...

ISBN: 9780415413510 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It is aggravated by the rapid extension - at local,...
