The Institutional Economics of Corruption and Reform: Theory, Evidence, and Policy
ISBN: 9780521872751 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Corruption has been a feature of public institutions for centuries yet only relatively recently has it been made the subject of sustained scientific analysis. Lambsdorff shows how insights from institutional economics can be used to develop a better understanding of why corruption occurs and the best policies to combat it. He argues that rather than being deterred by penalties, corrupt actors are more influenced by other factors such as the opportunism of their criminal counterparts and the danger of acquiring an unreliable reputation. This suggests a novel strategy for fighting corruption...

by Adam Smith It is symbolic that Adam Smith's masterpiece of economic analysis, The Wealth of Nations, was first published in 1776, the same year as the Declaration of Independence. In his book, Smith fervently extolled the simple yet enlightened notion that individuals are fully capable of setting and regulating prices for their own goods and services. He argued passionately in favor of free trade, yet stood up for the little guy. The Wealth of Nations provided the first--and still the most eloquent--integrated description of the...

Rock and Roll Economics
ISBN: 9780595289219 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most people live for today, but maybe the correct focus is to live for tomorrow. That doesn't mean that one should be a dreamer. It's just that one should focus on tomorrow because today is only the day that tomorrow was yesterday. Therefore to ensure that today will be great, we must take care of tomorrow. It seems as if the world has entered a state of "Virtual Insanity" and although it cannot be claimed that this work is the answer to all the ills in the world, it has been humbly submitted by its author in an attempt to rationalize the madness and give the reader a better understanding of...

Market Incentives to End War: Conflict Reduction Bonds
ISBN: 9780595294848 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Markets are the most efficient means yet discovered of allocating society's scarce resources. Unfortunately, many believe that market forces must inevitably conflict with social goals. So it is important to remind ourselves that market forces and self-interest can fulfil social, as well as private, aspirations. This book introduces a radical new financial instrument, Conflict Reduction Bonds, intended to channel the market's incentives and efficiencies into achieving what is perhaps our most urgent and yet remote social objective: the ending for all time of violent political conflict.

ISBN: 9780631151821 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
