Subsequently, the government adopted a new industrial development strategy labeled "grasp the large, let go the small." The...

Rethinking Economics: From Analogies to the Real World
ISBN: 9789812871756 / Angielski / Miękka / 87 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This brief responds to the criticism that mainstream economics is currently facing due to its heavy reliance on models and narrow range of quantitative research techniques. It takes a broader view, identifying issues that are also relevant for heterodox and pluralist approaches to economics. By acknowledging that the world of theory is not the same as the reality that we are trying to understand, the brief focuses on three paths that generally receive little attention. These are: from theory to the real world; from theory to empirical analysis; and from empirical results to policy...

Institutional Analysis and Praxis: The Social Fabric Matrix Approach
ISBN: 9781489984975 / Angielski / Miękka / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There has never been a better time for the social fabric matrix.

The lack of oversight of the financial industry encouraged reckless practices that endangered the stability of the...
