An Analysis of Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman's Judgment under Uncertainty
ISBN: 9781912128945 / Angielski / Miękka / 95 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman’s 1974 paper ‘Judgement Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases’ is a landmark in the history of psychology. Though a mere seven pages long, it has helped reshape the study of human rationality, and had a particular impact on economics – where Tversky and Kahneman’s work helped shape the entirely new sub discipline of ‘behavioral economics.’ The paper investigates human decision-making, specifically what human brains tend to do when we are forced to deal with uncertainty or complexity. Based on experiments carried out with... Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman’s 1974 paper ‘Judgement Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases’ is a landmark in the history of p... |

An Analysis of Robert E. Lucas Jr.'s Why Doesn't Capital Flow from Rich to Poor Countries?
ISBN: 9781912128433 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Robert Lucas is known among economists as one of the most influential macroeconomists of recent times - a reputation founded in no small part on the critical thinking skills displayed in his seminal 1990 paper 'Why Doesn't Capital Flow from Rich to Poor Countries?' Lucas's paper tackles a puzzle in economic theory that has since come to be known as the 'Lucas paradox,' and it deploys the author's brilliant problem solving skills to explain why such an apparent paradox in fact makes sense. Classical economic theory makes a simple prediction of how capital flows between countries: it...

An Analysis of Karen Z. Ho's Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street
ISBN: 9781912128068 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Liquidated is a work of anthropology that treats an unusual, despised subculture - that of the Wall Street banker - much as anthropologists have traditionally treated remote 'savage' tribes. But using the techniques of ethnography, including interviews, analysis of daily lives, and fieldwork to investigate a modern western culture is not original; what sets Ho's work apart and gives it value is her mastery of the critical thinking skills of problem-solving and creative thinking to reconceptualize the way in which we understand the bankers' mindset. Ho's great achievement is to ask...

One of the most influential books on economics ever written, Malthus' work remains one of the most controversial, too.

ISBN: 9781912128822 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Burton Malkiel’s 1973 A Random Walk Down Wall Street was an explosive contribution to debates about how to reap a good return on investing in stocks and shares. Reissued and updated many times since, Malkiel’s text remains an indispensable contribution to the world of investment strategy – one that continues to cause controversy among investment professionals today. At the book’s heart lies a simple question of evaluation: just how successful are investment experts? The financial world was, and is, full of people who claim to have the knowledge and expertise to...

An Analysis of John Maynard Keyne's The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money
ISBN: 9781912127900 / Angielski / Miękka / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. John Maynard Keynes’s 1936 General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money is a perfect example of the global power of critical thinking. A radical reconsideration of some of the founding principles and accepted axioms of classical economics at the time, it provoked a revolution in economic thought and government economic policies across the world. Unsurprisingly, Keynes’s closely argued refutation of the then accepted grounds of economics employs all the key critical thinking skills: analysing and evaluating the old theories and their weaknesses; interpreting and clarifying...

Selden, though written more than 100 years ago, is still dead on. Whether you are buying or selling, Selden explains how to remain emotionally neutral when making investment decisions.

Slave Ship Earth: The Ultimate Triumph of Capitalism

It has served us well," we are told. Has it really? Have we really looked at it carefully? Has it really helped all people of our country? It has engaged in activities that are against America's interests. It has taken over our government, and made a mockery of democracy. It has converted America into its colony, and is out to enslave the whole world and to harness the latter into its own narrow interest. Dr. Bharat Shah presents an eye-opening analysis to make us think of the catastrophe ahead, if no action is taken now. The entire...

From the preface: "The produce of the earth -- all that is derived from its surface by the united application of labour, machinery, and capital, is divided among three classes of the community; namely, the proprietor of the land, the owner of the stock or capital necessary for its cultivation, and the labourers by whose industry it is cultivated. But in different stages of society, the proportions of the whole produce of the earth which will be allotted to each of these classes, under the names of rent, profit, and wages, will be essentially different; depending mainly on the actual fertility...

ISBN: 9781467909105 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. America has been struggling to come out of a crisis of confidence in our financial system. The country has not become poor, but its government is paralyzed, people have lost their jobs, houses, and their faith in themselves and their elected officials. They have seen their health insurance recede out of reach, or have lost it all together. The country's infrastructure, education, environment, and its bicameral, two party system of democracy have deteriorated, as if it has been made a colony by some invaders. It is being subjected to exploitation by the invisible and ill defined conquistadors...
