Corporate Governance and Enterprise Reform in China
As China continues in its evolution from a planned economy to a market economy, and from an agricultural to a manufacturing and service-oriented economy, issues arising from owner diversification, corporate governance, and labor resource allocation have come to the forefront. Most particularly, corporate governance is being focused on as the state continues its withdrawal from direct ownership. This study evaluates short- and medium- term corporate governance issues impacting companies involved in ownership diversification. It examines problems associated with governance such as cost and framework design and makes recommendations concerning the many facets of corporate governance.

Corporate Governance in China
The nature of corporate governance is a key determinant of corporate performance and, therefore, of a country's overall economic power. This title examines key questions relating to corporate governance in China, exploring differences between private and state-owned companies.
THE STATE AND CAPITAL IN CHINA
The State and Capital in China offers a critical interpretation of Chinese recent history, scrutinizing the political and economic turnaround post-1978. It analyzes the dynamics of the party-state system, the de-collectivization of agriculture, the liberalization of the labor market, the rise of private sector, the crucial role of the global market, the new social exploitation, and the prospects for China. In the near future, it will no longer be possible to maintain current gigantic investment levels that feed its high economic growth. Global competition, technological dispute, and the downward pressure of overaccumulation on the rate of profit are all significant limits to Chinese current ...
Against the Consensus
In June 2008, Justin Yifu Lin was appointed Chief Economist of the World Bank, right before the eruption of the worst global financial and economic crisis since the Great Depression. Drawing on experience from his privileged position, Lin offers unique reflections on the cause of the crisis, why it was so serious and widespread, and its likely evolution. Arguing that conventional theories provide inadequate solutions, he proposes new initiatives for achieving global stability and avoiding the recurrence of similar crises in the future. He suggests that the crisis and the global imbalances both originated with the excess liquidity created by US financial deregulation and loose monetary policy, and recommends the creation of a global Marshall Plan and a new supranational global reserve currency. This thought-provoking book will appeal to academics, graduate students, policy makers, and anyone interested in the global economy.
Fostering Technology Absorption in Southern African Enterprises
While economic theory considers technological progress to be a key factor for sustained long-term economic growth and job creation, technology absorption is particularly an important driver for 'catch-up growth.' This study seeks to identify channels of technology transfer and absorption for Southern African enterprises, constraints to greater technology absorption, and discuss policy options open to governments and the private sector in light of relevant international experience. It has been done based on sector and enterprise case studies carried in four countries: South Africa, Mauritius, Lesotho and Namibia. This study uses a combination of econometric and in depth case study analyses to...
Hallucinating Stewards
There are some similarities between the 2023 state of the US economy and the 2008 financial crisis related to inflation and supply chain disruptions, however, the underlying causes of the two situations are different. The concise but scoped analysis of major economies related to the present circumstances in the US banking crisis comes at a time when the US dollar is facing competition from China and others. The US government and the Federal Reserve have taken steps to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and curbing interest rates to battle inflation. Such measures, however, have placed several US banks in a tough position. On 15th March 2023, The Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was closed down by US regulators. This was followed by its former parent company SVB Financial Group filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (the filing did not include its remaining subsidiaries). A second, New York-based Signature Bank was forced to shut its doors. It was later bought by New York Community Bancorp (Flagstar Bank). A third, Silvergate bank had previously announced on March 8 they would liquidate due to their failures in their cryptocurrency portfolios.
Building the 21st Century
The global economy is characterized by increasing locational competition to attract the resources necessary to develop leading-edge technologies as drivers of regional and national growth.

This involves national technology development and innovation programs designed to support research on new technologies, enhance the commercial return on national research, and facilitate the production of globally competitive products. Understanding the policies that other nations are pursuing to become more innovative and to what effect is essential to understanding h...
