This book focuses on understanding the thinking of one of the greatest economists of the 20th century, John Maynard Keynes (JMK), stressing the evolution of his thinking from adherence to the classic Quantity Theory of Money to the development of his own novel theories of unemployment, stagnation and instability in modern capitalism and the need to have active policies to combat these malaises. The author dissects Keynes’s three main analytical works that shaped his thinking and policy recommendations: A Tract on Monetary Reform (1923); A Treatise on Money (1930); and The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936).

This interdisciplinary book analyses the regional economic integration and its institutionalisation that has been pursued in East Asia since the late 1990s and its far-reaching impact for the entire region and beyond.

This Handbook provides authoritative up-to-date scholarship and debate concerning creativity at work, and offers a timely opportunity to re-evaluate our understanding of creativity, work, and the pivotal relationship between them. Far from being a new arrival on the scene, the context of work has always been a place shaped and sharpened by creativity, as well as a site that determines, where, when, how, and for whom creativity emerges. Structured in four parts – Working with Creativity (the present); Putting Creativity to Work (in an organizational context); Working in the Creative Industries (creative labour); and Making Creativity Work (the future) – the Handbook is an inspirational learning resource, helping us to work with creativity in innovative ways. Providing a cutting edge, interdisciplinary, diverse, and critical collection of academic and practitioner insights, this Handbook ultimately conveys a message of hope: if we take better care of creativity, our creativity will better care for us.
This book provides a fascinating look at the economics of the arts, heritage and creative industries.
Presents two lists of Poles who helped Jews. Pp. 29-84, "They Were Killed for the Help They Gave", gives names and biographical information on 450 Poles who were killed because they helped Jews, based on documentation collected in the archives of the Main Commission for Investigation of Crimes against the Polish Nation. So far, half of the archive documents have been verified. Pt. 2 will contain the rest of the material. The second list (p. 93-144), "The Righteous among the Nations" (up to 31 December 1991), contains the names of Poles awarded that title by Yad Vashem. Explains the discrepancy in the two lists - only fifteen of the Poles who were killed for helping Jews have received recognition from Yad Vashem; two witnesses are required to verify that help was provided, and in most of these cases the potential witnesses were also killed.
