Peripheral Visions of Economic Development
Author: Mario Garcia-Molina
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317438485
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
This book explores peripheral visions on economic development, both in the sense that it deals with specific issues of economic development and underdevelopment in countries at the periphery of the world economy, and in terms of its exploration of the economic thinking developed in those regions, particularly in Latin America. Bringing together an international group of historians of thought, economic historians and development economists from Latin America, Europe and other parts of the world, this volume is highly credited and is an excellent contribution to development economic studies. This book is divided into four parts. Following the introduction, the first set of papers describes the evolution of core-periphery perspectives in key contributions by Raúl Prebisch, Oskar Lange, Albert Hirschman, Celso Furtado and Homero Cuevas. The second set discusses the links between unbalanced productive structures and external trade in peripheral countries. The third set contains papers on critical episodes in the development of monetary and financial systems in Latin America during the 19th and 20th centuries. The fourth set deals with geographical and institutional aspects of path dependence in the governance of external trade and in the development of liberties, property rights and economic education in Europe, Latin America and Africa. Several chapters make use of hitherto unexplored archival material. Other chapters draw attention to important episodes or literatures that have largely gone unnoticed in the English-speaking world. Yet others combine conceptual innovations with work on new historical data and other sources hitherto not utilized in such contexts. This book is ideal for those who study and research development economics, history of economic thought and economic history, especially in Latin America.

TRUST AND GOVERNANCE
Author: Jhonathan Cavalcante da Costa
Publisher: Jhonathan Cavalcante da Costa
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
Trust and Governance is a book that translates reflections on social aspects of the economy. It is an adaptation of a monograph completed in 2009, in which the respective theme was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics, shared between Oliver Williamson and Elinor Ostrom. It is an old and increasingly current theme. The relevance of paying attention to human and social aspects is pressing in public and private institutions. This work explores philosophical thoughts about the validity of scientific methods and the possibility of comparing different theories, to benefit from complementarities. In this sense, we must always return to Adam Smith, who already recognized the influence of social aspects on the economy. In this analysis, we highlight the contribution of Francis Fukuyama, who spoke in his book “TRUST” about aspects inherent to spontaneous sociability and the desire for recognition. These aspects are relevant to understanding social capital, an indispensable element for the economics of transaction costs. In summary, this book discusses the convergence between the approaches of Oliver Williamson on transaction costs and Francis Fukuyama on social capital, both concepts, central to the understanding of governance structures.

Común
Author: Christian Laval

ISBN: 8497848810
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 625
Book Description
Los autores muestran por qué este principio se impone hoy día como el término central de la alternativa política para el siglo XXI: anuda la lucha anticapitalista y la ecología política mediante su reivindicación de los “comunes” contra las nuevas formas de apropiación privada y estatal. Además, articula las luchas prácticas con las investigaciones sobre el gobierno colectivo de los recursos naturales o de la información y designa formas democráticas nuevas que aspiran a tomar el relevo de la representación política y del monopolio de los partidos. Esta emergencia de lo común en la acción reclama un trabajo de clarificación en el pensamiento. El sentido actual de lo común se distingue de los numerosos usos que se ha dado a esta noción, ya sean filosóficos, jurídicos o teológicos: bien supremo de la ciudad, universalidad de esencia, propiedad inherente a ciertas cosas, incluso alguna vez el fin perseguido por la creación divina. Pero hay otro hilo que vincula lo común, no a la esencia de los hombres o a la naturaleza de las cosas, sino a la actividad de los hombres mismos: sólo una práctica de puesta en conjunto puede decidir qué es “común”, reservar ciertas cosas al uso común, producir determinadas reglas capaces de obligar a los hombres. En este sentido, lo común reclama una nueva institución de la sociedad por ella misma: una revolución.

Economía política desde Estambul a Potosí
Author: Fernando Ramos Palencia
Publisher: Universitat de València
ISBN: 8437089387
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
En l'actualitat, els economistes i els historiadors debaten sobre el paper exercit per les institucions i els estats en el desenvolupament econòmic a llarg termini durant l'Època Moderna. En general, s'assumeix que únicament als països de l'Atlàntic nord, l'estat i els drets de propietat es van configurar de tal manera que serien capaces de generar creixement econòmic a gran escala. De fet, l'aplicació d'aquesta perspectiva ha accentuat el tòpic d'una certa ineficàcia de les institucions del món mediterrani i ofereix una visió estereotipada del paper de l'estat. Aquest llibre pretén ser una contribució crítica que estableixi sinergies amb els economistes actuals i coadjuvi a la comprensió de la història econòmica en les societats preindustrials del sud d'Europa.

State, Institutions and Democracy
Author: Norman Schofield
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319445820
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
This book presents a set of original and innovative contributions on state, institutions and democracy in the field of political economy. Modern political economy has implied the interaction between politics and economics to understand political, electoral and public issues in different nations, and in this volume a group of leading political economists and political scientists from Europe, America and Asia provides theoretical advances, modelling and case studies on main topics in political economy. The analysis of the role and performance of politics and democracy in diverse nations implies the study of the organization of the state, lobbying, political participation, public policies, electoral politics, public administration and the provision of public services. This book provides advances in the research frontier of these topics and combines historical evidence, institutional analysis, mathematical models and empirical analysis in an interdisciplinary approach. Political and social scientists, economists and those interested in the performance of states, democracy and elections can find new research results in this volume.

The Colombian Economy and Its Regional Structural Challenges
Author: Eduardo A. Haddad
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031226534
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
This book examines regional structural challenges on Colombia’s path to sustainable social cohesion and regionally inclusive growth. These challenges can be divided into three main groups: (i) those that focus on competitiveness and the supply side, (ii) those that arise from critical business cycle issues on the demand side, and (iii) those concerning environmental sustainability, employment and social inclusion. The contributions, written by experts on Latin American economics and regional science, apply quantitative simulations based on a unified general equilibrium framework and address a wide range of topics, including: Colombia’s competitive integration in global markets, human capital profiles, regional economic disparities and public and private mechanisms of interregional income transfer. The challenges entailed by such high-profile and long-term issues as productivity growth and climate change are also analyzed. In addition, the book positions Colombia’s experiences in an international comparative context. It argues that many other Latin American countries face similar challenges and provide evidence to substantiate this claim. By doing so, it offers valuable policy lessons for Latin American countries with similar difficulties.
