First published in 1936, this book gives the reader an insight into the tendencies and spirit of the monetary reform movement as a whole, as accomplished or proposed since the First World War. The author marks the consideration of the overall reform as being more important than specifically looking at the actual proposals and measures involved, and the views he attributes to the various monetary reform schools are therefore composite views of the various factions of those schools. As a comparatively recent convert to the idea of monetary reform, at the time of writing, the author offers a balanced view of the subject as he also has extensive experience of the ideas of the orthodox monetary system. However, he does not believe that monetary reform alone can achieve the desired end without considerable economic planning. Indeed, he suggests that the monetary reform movement he discusses desperately needs to adopt a broader perspective and thus, he suggests a compromise.

First published in 1984, this book carefully dissects and convincingly demonstrates that conservative economics is incoherent in theory and disastrous in practice. The three main schools of thought supporting "free-market" policies – supply side economics, monetarism and rational expectations – are examined in turn and each is found defective. Three case studies of conservative policy in action follow: Reagan’s U.S., Thatcher’s U.K. and Pinochet’s Chile and their courses are charted in depth. In addition, Robert Heilbroner and Edward Nell analyse economic conservatism’s ideology and social policy, and the book concludes with an assessment of the political reasons for the continuing appeal of free-market conservatism despite its theoretical incoherence and practical failure. This is a careful and comprehensive look at this subject which tackles both the theory and the practice head-on. It will make useful and stimulating reading for students of economics and political economy on courses of economic policy and macro-economics and in addition will be of keen interest to all those involved in the debate about one of the major policy issues of our time.
At the time in which this book was first published in 1992, there was a major concern with the macro-economic implications of fiscal imbalance. As the European economies moved closer to monetary union, and Germany grappled with the fiscal pressures of unification, deficits in the United States exceeded $300 billion. In this volume the authors address this issue, using both historical case-studies and cross-national comparisons. This book will be of interest to students of economics.
First published in 1981, this book concerns itself with the different ways in which money is used, the relationships which then arise, and the institutions concerned in maintaining its various functions. Thomas Crump examines the emergence of institutions with familiar and distinctive monetary roles: the state, the market and the banking system. However, other uses of money - such as for gambling or the payment of fines - are also taken into account, in an exhaustive, encyclopedic treatment of the subject, which extends far beyond the range of conventional treatises on money.
Global warming has led to increasing climate risks, and climate change is a global issue facing mankind. Therefore, most developed countries have set a clear goal of achieving carbon neutrality after reaching peak carbon emissions. In the context of global warming, "low-carbon economy" based on low energy consumption and low pollution has become a global popular research topic. At present, the international community has formed a consensus on green transformation and taken practical actions. At the same time, the achievement of the carbon neutrality goal has highlighted the importance of public health, and therefore, a series of new research directions are emerging, and how to develop a low-carbon economy and protect public health while achieving the carbon neutrality goal has become an important issue. In the post-epidemic era, economic recovery and public health issues need to be addressed, and a low-carbon economy and public health will face even greater challenges, with carbon neutrality goals placing this issue at the forefront. For this Research Topic, we would like submissions that provide research results on topics such as green development, green low carbon, resource conservation, low carbon economy, low carbon development, low carbon living, low carbon living, low carbon society, population health, health distribution, health awareness, health behavior, and public health. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches are welcome to explore the low carbon economy and public health from multiple perspectives. - The developmental history of the low-carbon economy, the level of development, and the evaluation of the level of development. - The many challenges faced by the low-carbon economy in the development process and how to deal with the challenges in the development process. - The development of a low carbon economy is influenced by a variety of factors, such as low carbon investment, policy norms, technology development, energy development, and digitalization levels, etc. We would like research works which study the factors that influence the development of a low carbon economy. - Analyze which industries will have an impact on the development of a low carbon economy, including but not limited to the energy industry, transportation industry, and construction industry. - To study the factors that affect the development of public health and how to improve public health. - To study the impact of residential environment, sports environment, community environment, etc. on public health. - To study the methods used in studies related to the development of a low-carbon economy and public health development. - To analyze the impact of the development of a low-carbon economy on other industries, such as international trade, the real estate industry, and tourism.
This reissued work, originally published in 1985, is a uniquely broad and original survey of theories and beliefs about the growth, behaviour, performance and reform of the governments of modern Western democracies. After analysing the external pressures which have shaped modern governments, the author examines four different schools of political thought which seek to explain the behaviour and performance of governments, and which offer different remedies for the pluralism, corporatism and bureaucracy. To examine and test these general theories, the author looks closely at how governments actually work. The book is illustrated with examples drawn from various Western societies. The final chapters present the author’s own conclusion about the future role of government, the limits of market philosophy, the future of politics, and the principles and problems of institutional reform.
First published in English 1929, this is a reissue of the nineteenth edition of Othmar Spann's classic history of economic thought, which is strongly influenced by the German Romantic tradition. Spann intended the work to serve as both history of economic thought and a critique of the main theories and systems of political economy, analysing the basic problems of economics in the light of the evolution of economic theory. His study encapsulates everything from pre-mercantile economics through to the political economy of the early twentieth century, encompassing such diverse subjects as the physiocratic system, the development of German political economy and the evolution of socialism.
"This reissue, first published in 1982, is the first of two volumes on the causes and cure of Stagflation - the two-headed monster that combines mass unemployment with rapid inflation, which affected contemporary economies across the industrially developped world in the 1970s. Professor Meade outlines the nature of the problem, contrasting the Great Slump of the 1930s with the Great Stagflation of the 1970s and comparing the Orthodox Keynesian and Monetarist approaches with the New Keynesian strategy. Various proposals for the reform of wage-fixing institutions are discussed, including the limitation of trade-union bargaining powers, an official incomes policy, labour management and ownership in business, and tax or subsidy measures to discourage inflationary rises in wages and prices. The book will be essential reading for all concerned with both the theory and policy of contemporary macroeconomics, industrial relations, labour economics and labour law. It has been written so that the general argument in the main text is accessible to the general reader as well as of interest to the professional economist."--Prélim.
