The key to development lies in the constant discovery of new combinations of production factors, spurred by technological innovations and progress. In 2000, global development had increased the Gross Global Product sevenfold since 1950. The average living standard of the world’s population improved rapidly. But at the same time, global poverty levels rose as well. The number of people living below the poverty line grew to 2.25 billion out of the world’s total population of 4 billion by the end of the 20th century. It was felt that economic development was leading to a sharp social decline; development scholars worried that social development to improve people’s welfare was being neglected.

Kunci pembangunan terletak pada penemuan kombinasi faktor produksi yang terus berkembang dipacu oleh pertumbuhan inovasi teknologi dan pembangunan melecit maju. Di tahun 2000, pembangunan global berhasil menaikkan jumlah "Produk Global Bruto" sebesar tujuh kali tahun 1950. Tingkat hidup rata-rata penduduk naik cepat. Namun serentak dengan ini, tingkat kemiskinan penduduk global juga naik. Jumlah penduduk sebesar 2,25 miliar dari 4 miliar total penduduk global hidup di bawah garis kemiskinan pada akhir abad ke-20. Pembangunan ekonomi dirasakan berjalan dengan pengunduran sosial yang tajam sehingga merisaukan para ilmuwan pembangunan yang menyaksikan tertinggalnya pembangunan sosial dalam menaikkan kesejahteraan rakyat.

But today, whistleblowing is still associated with the risk of retribution for the whistleblower, but the messages are now usually directed at the institutions of society.

This implies identifying and discussing conflicts as well as agreement with regard to the philosophical and other foundations of business and management. Despite the general interest in corporate social responsibility and business ethics, the contemporary discussion rarely touches upon the normative core and philosophical foundations of business. There is a need to discuss the theoretical basis of business ethics and of business and human rights. Even though the actions and activities of business may be di...
First published in 2003. Hewett Cottrell Watson was a pioneer in a new science not yet defined in Victorian times – ecology – and was practically the first naturalist to conduct research on plant evolution, beginning in 1834. The correspondence between Watson and Darwin, analysed for the first time in this book, reveals the extent to which Darwin profited from Watson’s data. Darwin’s subsequent fame, however, is one of the reasons why Watson became almost forgotten. This biography traces both the influences and characteristics that shaped Watson’s outlook and personality, and indeed his science, and the institutional contexts within which he worked. At the same time, it makes evident the extent of his real contributions to the science of the plant ecology and evolution.
