Paying Our High Public Officials: Evaluating the Political Justifications of Top Wages in the Public Sector
ISBN: 9780415657037 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In almost every liberal democratic society, an issue that is a topic of constant and passionate public discussion is how much that country's ministers, legislators, senior civil servants, and senior judges should be paid. Nor is this surprising; the issue has considerable voyeuristic appeal, particular democratic significance, and important ramifications for the functioning of the public sector as a whole. However, like most political debates, these discussions tend to be messy, fragmented, and full of unverified assertions and spurious appeals to populist sentiment. It is hardly...

Social Security's Investment Shortfall: $8 Trillion Plus - And the Way Forward - Plus How the Us Government's Financial Deficit Reporting = 64 Madoffs
ISBN: 9789814407960 / Angielski / Twarda / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The aim of this book is to document, on a solid and convincing foundation, two public policy mistakes of the United States Government that have been extremely costly. First, the failure to combine stocks with long-term government bonds in the Social Security Trust Fund, the way other nations do, has resulted not only in an investment shortfall well into the trillions of dollars, but has also reduced US and global economic growth and increased the national debt. Second, by employing the Unified Budget concept beginning in 1970, the US Government has since then understated its financial...

The European Union after Lisbon: Polity, Politics, Policy
ISBN: 9781409438212 / Twarda / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A few years have passed since the Lisbon Treaty came into force but the question still remains of what the Lisbon Treaty has actually brought about. Was it just 'relatively insignificant' as some scholars have claimed, or was it 'something' more? This book sets out to look at this question and it does so by applying a classical division: polity, politics and policy. One of the book's conclusions is that the Lisbon Treaty might have been 'plan b' compared to the aborted Constitutional Treaty, but it is certainly a substantial step forward on the European path of integration. The Lisbon Treaty...

The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed
ISBN: 9781610392778 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As Director of the Office of Management and Budget in the early 1980s, David Stockman was a chief architect of the Reagan Revolution--a bold plan to cut taxes and reduce the scope and cost of government.
