ZEITGEIST UND ZERRBILD
Based on the author's thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Oxford, 2002.
Hiding in the Shadows
Examines the role of the shadow, or underground, economy. Looks at ways of measuring it, the relationship between the shadow economy and the main stream economy, why it has been growing in size, and its effects on overall economic growth. How can states limit the size of the shadow economy, and does it matter that it exists?
Germany in the Early Middle Ages c. 800-1056
The first volume chronologically in a new multi-volume History of Germany, Timothy Reuter's book is the first full-scale survey to appear in English for nearly fifty years of this formative period of German history -- the period in which Germany itself, and many of its internal divisions and characteristics, were created and defined. Filling an important gap, the book is itself a formidable scholarly achievement.
Handbook on the Shadow Economy
This original and insightful handbook presents the latest research on the size and development of the shadow economy (also known as the black or underground economy), an integral component of the most developing and many developed countries' economies.
Seelsorge
Das Lehrbuch führt in die Breite des Handlungsfelds Seelsorge, die Vielfalt ihrer Begründungszusammenhänge, Konzeptionen, Ziele, Methoden und Arbeitsfelder ein. Die sehr unterschiedlichen Situationen, die alle mit dem Begriff Seelsorge bezeichnet werden, erfordern eine multidimensionale Konzeption: Verschiedene Ansätze (Alltagsseelsorge, kerygmatische, therapeutische, rituelle, politische und ethische Konzepte) ergänzen einander (statt sich gegenseitig zu bestreiten) und charakterisieren Seelsorge zureichend erst in der Zusammenschau der verschiedenen Perspektiven. Eine pastoralpsychologische Perspektive, die das Gespräch mit den angrenzenden Humanwissenschaften sucht, ist dabei leiten...
The Impact of Regulation on Growth and Informality
Abstract: The authors study the effects of regulation on economic growth and the relative size of the informal sector in a large sample of industrial and developing countries. Along with firm dynamics, informality is an important channel through which regulation affects macroeconomic performance and economic growth in particular. The authors conclude that a heavier regulatory burden-particularly in product and labor markets-reduces growth and induces informality. These effects are, however, mitigated as the overall institutional framework improves.
The Doubly Green Revolution
Today more than three quarters of a billion people go hungry in a world where food is plentiful. A distinguished scientist here sets out an agenda for addressing this situation. Initially published in 1997 in the United Kingdom, the book is now available in the first edition produced for the Western hemisphere. In it, the author has updated information to reflect current economic indicators. This volume includes a foreword written for the previous edition by Ismail Serageldin of the World Bank. The original Green Revolution produced new technologies for farmers, creating food abundance. A second transformation of agriculture is now required—specifically, Gordon Conway argues, a "doubly green" revolution that stresses conservation as well as productivity. He calls for researchers and farmers to forge genuine partnerships in an effort to design better plants and animals. He also urges them to develop (or rediscover) alternatives to inorganic fertilizers and pesticides, improve soil and water management, and enhance earning opportunities for the poor, especially women.
