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.

Reading John Maynard Keynes
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.

Those who Helped
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.
The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets
Most labor economics textbooks pay little attention to actual labor markets, taking as reference a perfectly competitive market in which losing a job is not a big deal.

This expanded, updated, and thoroughly revised second edition includes a new chapter on labor-market discrimination; quantitative examples; data and programming files enabling users to replicate key results of the literature; exercises at the end of each chapter; and expanded technical appendixes. The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets ex...
