ISBN: 9781409470281 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For a long time Russia s position as a key global energy player has enhanced Moscow s international economic and political influence whilst causing concern amongst other states fearful of becoming too dependent on Russia as an energy supplier.

Theory Is History
ISBN: 9783319038155 / Angielski / Miękka / 143 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book focuses on a central concept that "Theory is History," as the theory of capitalism can only be formulated on the basis of an analysis of its history. In contrast, bourgeois thinking replaces the analysis of historical capitalism with an abstract theory without any links to reality. "Economics," which is the theory of an imaginary system, then becomes an apologia intended to give legitimacy to the behaviour of the owners of capital. The author pays special attention to the globalization of the law of value. The individual chapters illustrate the author's thesis by focusing on the...

Fiat Money Inflation in France
ISBN: 9781494784522 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fiat Money Inflation in France is as much about irrational human behavior as it is about financial crises and runaway inflation. White describes a disillusioned public who, under the influence of increasingly self-serving public officials and orators, accepted more and more assignant printings even though the perils of such printings had been documented throughout history and were then blatantly obvious right before their eyes. Andrew Dickson White presented this analysis of the runaway inflation in France to dissuade the US Government of printing its own paper money. At the time, he was...

He develops elegant critiques of key areas of economic analysis based on appreciation of scientific method and knowledge of the limitations of economic data. Concepts such as employment, market,...
