Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Since the late 1970s, the spread of Neo-liberalism and the failure of socialist economies and systems in Eastern Europe have resulted in a practically unchallenged hegemony of international capital across the globe.

In Restructuring Hegemony in the Global Political Economy the authors argue that this process began with the defeat of the New International Economic Order, the Euro-Communist ascendency in...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Prior to the breakdown of communism in the Eastern Bloc, reform minded economists had experimented with the concepts of market socialism which presented no real challenge to the basics of the Soviet-type system.

Making Transnationals Accountable: A Significant Step for Britain
ISBN: 9780415068703 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Transnational corporations are now of immense significance for most economies. However, by definition they are involved in international production and this poses problems for national governments. The threat of a major company leaving gives it leverage over its host government. This means that even though there is a broad consensus that in some respects the impact of a transnational on an economy can be negative, there is a marked reluctance on the part of governments to try to do anything about it. Although they remain sensitive to the problems posed by transnationals, the authors of Making...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) From the perspective of the 1990s, the 1960s seem an economic golden age. National income was growing even faster than in the 1950s; unemployment remained around 2% of the labour force and inflation was at 4% for most of the decade. The decade marked the peak of the long boom that began at the end of the Second World War and was to continue until the oil crisis of 1973. Prosperity was linked with social change in many forms, including the relaxations in the law that contributed to the arrival of the permissive society, the founding of many new universities and the first attempts to join the...
