Feminism and Anti-feminism in Early Economic Thought
'I had the privilege and pleasure of supervising the Ph.D. dissertation from which the present book originated. Its author, Beth Webster, was independent, critical in a positive way and original. She acquired a most thorough knowledge and mastery of the relevant literature. She recognized early on the growing importance, both qualitatively and quantitatively, of investment in intangible assets in modern economic processes. She set about developing an appropriate framework, drawing on Kalecki's insights in particular, within which to analyse the issues involved. The outcome is the present book - which is original, relevant, comprehensive and a pleasure to read.' - G.C. Harcourt, University of New South Wales, Australia

Labor Markets in Latin America
Many of the rules that govern labor markets in Latin America (and elsewhere) raise labor costs, create barriers to entry, and introduce rigidities in the employment structure. These include the exceedingly restrictive regulations on hiring and firing practices, as well as burdensome social insurance schemes. Such labor market regulations contribute to an over-expansion of precarious forms of employment and to rural poverty, and hinder countries from responding rapidly to new challenges from increased foreign competition. At the same time, other norms can reduce costs and raise productivity; they should be kept in place and their enforcement improved. For example, some occupational health and...
Crafting Labor Policy
Despite success in other areas of economic reform over the past ten years, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile continue to face significant labour policy issues. This volume contains a number of papers which discuss these regional issues with a focus on the period 1995-98. Many of the papers have been co-authored by leading labour economists and are based on work sponsored by the World Bank. The book also includes an introductory chapter which summarises labour market reforms in Latin America since the late 1980's, as well as a concluding chapter which analyses the main results and policy implications for the region.
