Connecting Cities with Macro-Economic Concerns: The Missing Link
ISBN: 9780821356739 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'Connecting Cities with Macro-economic Concerns' examines the influence of local public services on the economics of cities.

ISBN: 9780821373040 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In contrast, many countries contend that the eradication of poverty is the primary goal of social and economic policy. This book investigates how current income transfer policies often fall short and shows why countries need mechanisms to reduce wage inequality and...
