Decoding Economic Crises
Constantly bandied about, 'crisis' has tended to be a much-overused word. Understanding the economy and its future challenges requires a detailed and precise analysis of what an economic crisis is. This book sets out to do just that. It first provides a deep historical context of what economic theory says about crises and their perpetual return in the form of a cycle. It then looks at what lessons might be learned from such cycles. Since 1945, the world economy has been dominated by the United States, so an analysis of recent crises must necessarily consider public policy response in this country. Decoding Economic Crises attempts to answer the question of whether American leadership has emerged unscathed from the damage inflicted by the 1975, 1992, 2009 and 2020 recessions and their legacies of debt.Looking forward to the future, there is a particular focus on environmental change. The book interrogates whether devastating crises might ensue, reminiscent of the 'nutritional trap' theorised by Nobel Prize winner Angus Deaton. Finally, Decoding Economic Crises asks if there will be a return to times of extreme scarcity as seen prior to the mid-18th century.
Of Banks And Crises
'It is a familiar remark that only 'the rich can borrow,' and the experience of every day seems to prove it. Yet the poor also may have need of credit, even more than the rich. How, then, can they obtain it? This problem is easily solved by cooperation. An isolated laborer or artisan, no matter how honest or industrious he may be, cannot furnish sufficient guarantee for a loan. Sickness, loss of work, and death, may at any time overtake him and make it impossible, despite his best intentions, to pay back what he has borrowed. But if laborers or artisans to the number of ten, a hundred, or a thousand, are grouped in an organization, and held together, if need be, by the ties of collective res...
Of Banks and Crises
Poor bankers! Poor economists! You won't see people at their windows and on their balconies clapping for members of these two professions. Economists are decried for never having anticipated crises. Blame is levelled at bankers, perceived as blind to the obvious and driven by greed. Given the constant trial by media to which the two professions are subjected, Cristina Peicuti's and Jacques Beyssade's book gives the floor to the defence. It is not because the authors are beholden to corporate interests, but because they are motivated by their desire to understand and take action. The relevance of these criticisms, occasional or recurrent, is not being challenged. The authors' purpose is to analyse the behaviours and mistakes that may have given rise to these reproofs, and identify changes that would enable both professions to contribute more effectively and in a timely manner to the common good.
Nach dem »Großen Krieg«
Der Ausgang des Ersten Weltkriegs war eine »kritische Weiche« der modernen Geschichte. In kurzer Zeit verdreifachte sich die Zahl der Demokratien auf der Welt. Dem Triumph der Demokratie folgte rasch ihr Niedergang. Bis Mitte der 1930er Jahre wurde eine Demokratie nach der anderen gestürzt. Die Beträge des Bandes liefern in Form von Fallstudien und vergleichenden Analysen sozial- und geschichtswissenschaftliche Bausteine für die Antwort auf eine Kernfrage der Demokratieforschung: Welche Faktoren auf den Ebenen der sozioökonomischen Strukturen, der Institutionen und der Akteure trugen dazu bei, das Überleben und Scheitern von Demokratien in der Zwischenkriegszeit zu erklären?
Economie politique du monde contemporain.
Entre urgence écologique et résurgence de conflits géopolitiques majeurs, en passant par les tentatives de refonte de l’ordre économique international et les risques liés à la nouvelle économie de l’information, les défis du XXIe siècle sont au moins aussi immenses que l’ont été ceux des XIXe et XXe siècles. Loin d’être une simple discipline universitaire, l’économie est surtout une réalité de notre monde que la science doit nous permettre de comprendre et d’orienter vers un horizon soutenable. Tel est le projet de ce manuel : faire « vivre » la science économique pour qu’elle puisse répondre à ces nouveaux enjeux. Écrit par une équipe d’enseignants, ch...
Central Banking and Monetary Policy in the G20: Paradigms and Challenges

Three features of this book, which focuses on central banking and monetary policy in the G20, an intergovernmental platform, stand out: First...
