ISBN: 9780465091676 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What lies behind America's economic and social decline?

Harrison, the key to answering these and other questions is culture-- the values of a people with respect to work, education, frugality, community, fair play, and progress.

ISBN: 9780472031429 / Angielski / Miękka / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. David Ellerman relates a deep theoretical groundwork for a philosophy of development, while offering a descriptive, practical suggestion of how goals of development can be better set and met. Beginning with the assertion that development assistance agencies are inherently structured to provide help that is ultimately unhelpful by overriding or undercutting the capacity of people to help themselves, David Ellerman argues that the best strategy for development is a drastic reduction in development assistance. The locus of initiative can then shift from the would-be helpers to the doers...

ISBN: 9780472087228 / Angielski / Miękka / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This compilation of case studies and cross-country essays focuses on the role of public policy in the experience of East Asian economies.

The 1980s brought further lessons and flows of capital to the second generation...

How do the resources, policy advice, and conditions attached to aid affect ethnic conflict in countries in which donors...

Pomeranz attributes these diverse developments to several causes: the growing but...
