A Course in Public Economics
Author: John Leach
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139450123
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
A Course in Public Economics, first published in 2004, explores the central questions of whether or not markets work, and if not, what is to be done about it. The first part of the textbook, designed for upper-level undergraduates and first-year graduate students, begins with an extended discussion of the two theorems of welfare economics. These theorems show that competitive markets can give rise to socially desirable outcomes, and describe the conditions under which they do so. The second part of the book discusses the kinds of market failure - externalities, public goods, imperfect competition and asymmetric information - that arise when these conditions are not met. The role of the government in resolving market failures is examined. The limits of government action, especially those arising from asymmetric information, are also investigated. A knowledge of intermediate microeconomics and basic calculus is assumed.

Developmental Work Research
Author: Yrjö Engeström
Publisher: Lehmanns Media
ISBN: 3865410693
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
"Developmental work research is an innovative approach to the study and reshaping of work and learning. It expands cultural-historical activity theory by bringing it to the domains of work, technology and organizations. The world of work is in turmoil, increasingly dominated by 'runaway objects' generated by globalization and greed (global markets are such massive objects out of control). Yet it is the object that motivates work and generates visons of better future. The use values of objects have not vanished, although they are more difficult to grasp than perhaps ever before. Developmental work research rediscovers and expands use values in runaway objects. In workplace interventions it engages practitioners in expansive re-forging of the objects of their work."--Cover.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
A part-Cherokee Civil War veteran who served with General Stand Watie’s Mounted Cherokee Rifles, Jacob Welles has since become a trail hardened cowboy working for nearly a decade for the legendary cattle king Charles Goodnight. Upon receiving an unexpected inheritance from his late Uncle Henry, he heads west to establish the Running W Ranch along Chalk Creek in the upper Arkansas River Valley of central Colorado. Along the way he si engaged in gunfights with murderous bandits. However, they are but a prelude to the conflicts and adventures he will face in Colorado. Gathering about him a loyal crew of tough cowboys and vaqueros, he moves his herd from Trinidad in southern Colorado to his destination at the base of the mythological Chalk Cliffs in a canyon at the foot of Mt. Princeton. There begins the struggle to establish a ranch with cattle purchased from his old boss. Faced with rustlers, nightriders and hired gunmen, he and his men defend themselves and Jacob’s dream and develop an unexpected alliance with the Ute Indians in the region. Danger and death become regular events in the life of the Running W as Jacob witnesses the killing of some of his men and the constant raids against his property. He also confronts a growing mystery as to the cause of the conflict that threaten to destroy his dream. Added to this is a decision that he must choose between two women who love him, Alexis Forsythe, a sophisticated business woman from Baltimore who has established herself in New London and promises him passion and riches, and a sister to his vaqueros, Ana Garcia, who has been hired to keep house and cook for him and becomes a trusted friend. The author’s great-grandparents were Kansas and Colorado pioneers and he himself has lived in the places described in this, his first novel of the old west. A lifelong horseman, he knows the feel of the saddle after a long day, the smell of the dust of the trail, the feel of a Rocky Mountain winter and his taste for the realism of the time and place enables him to bring alive the struggle, adventure and conflict within this unique, fast paced, rollicking western adventure.
