ISBN: 9780226536781 / Angielski / Twarda / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Standard economic models assume that many small investors own firms.

How does concentrated ownership affect economic growth? How... Standard economic models assume that many small investors own firms.
