Power And Prosperity
Author: Mancur Olson
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 9780465051960
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Why do some economies do better than others? How does society encourage the kind of market economy that generates continually increasing incomes? How do particular styles of government affect economic performance? World-renowned economist Mancur Olson tackles these questions and others in what will surely be regarded as his magnum opus. Olson contends that governments can play an essential role in the development of markets. Reliable enforcement of private contracts and protection of individual rights to property depend on governments strong enough not to undermine them. His exploration of "market-augmenting governments" will stand as a cutting-edge work on economic growth and provide a useful framework in which to consider the Asian financial crisis and its aftermath. As Susan Lee noted in Forbes, "his pioneering insights might have won a Nobel Prize for Olson had he lived a bit longer."

Market-Mobilized Capital
Author: Omar Azfar
Publisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
One important channel by which market-augmenting government affects economic growth is through its effect on market-mobilized capital the level of capital mobilized by market mechanisms. Market-augmenting government, which is measured in part by both statutory law and law enforcement, affects the magnitude of market-mobilized capital, and through this and other channels, economic growth. This variable, market-mobilized capital, allows us to identify, more clearly than in previous work, the causal links between finance and growth, and to show clear links between statutory law and economic performance.

Other chapters present new tests and frequently extend his work.

Government and the American Economy
Author: Price V. Fishback
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226251292
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 634
Book Description
The American economy has provided a level of well-being that has consistently ranked at or near the top of the international ladder. A key source of this success has been widespread participation in political and economic processes. In The Government and the American Economy, leading economic historians chronicle the significance of America’s open-access society and the roles played by government in its unrivaled success story. America’s democratic experiment, the authors show, allowed individuals and interest groups to shape the structure and policies of government, which, in turn, have fostered economic success and innovation by emphasizing private property rights, the rule of law, and protections of individual freedom. In response to new demands for infrastructure, America’s federal structure hastened development by promoting the primacy of states, cities, and national governments. More recently, the economic reach of American government expanded dramatically as the populace accepted stronger limits on its economic freedoms in exchange for the increased security provided by regulation, an expanded welfare state, and a stronger national defense.
