Economic Growth in Europe Since 1945
This compelling volume re-examines the topic of economic growth in Europe after the Second World War. The contributors approach the subject armed not only with new theoretical ideas, but also with the experience of the 1980s on which to draw. The analysis is based on both applied economics and on economic history. Thus, while the volume is greatly informed by insights from growth theory, emphasis is given to the presentation of chronological and institutional detail. The case study approach and the adoption of a longer-run perspective than is normal for economists allow new insights to be obtained. As well as including chapters that consider the experience of individual European countries, the book explores general European institutional arrangements and historical circumstances. The result is a genuinely comparative picture of post-war growth, with insights that do not emerge from standard cross-section regressions based on the post-1960 period.
Introdução à Economia
O presente texto, resultante de mais de 30 anos de lecionação da cadeira de Introdução à Economia nos cursos de Economia e Gestão da Universidade Católica Portuguesa, «procura centrar-se nos princípios básicos da economia, naquelas poucas ideias, muito simples, que subjazem a todo o raciocínio económico e constituem o essencial da forma especial de a economia analisar o mundo». O que se pretende essencialmente é, pois, chamar a atenção para a importância e a relevância prática da economia para chegar a conclusões bem fundamentadas sobre os mais diversos aspetos da realidade. Nesta 12.a edição do texto, resultante da sua terceira revisão global, o essencial da linha de exposição mantém-se, mas foram feitas algumas mudanças e atualizações que sublinham e reforçam as suas diretrizes fundamentais, facilitando ainda, na estrutura, o uso letivo deste livro.
The Cultural Life of Money
The book discusses how culture simultaneously shapes and is shaped by the economy. Over the past few years, as the world has staggered from one financial crisis to another, the neat separation of economics and culture has been consistently challenged. To understand the current state of affairs, it has become increasingly necessary to understand the conjuncture that rules the production of value in economic systems, how money shapes social relations and affects discursive practices. By discussing the vocabulary, by understanding the rhetoric and interpreting the narratives, be it of crisis, austerity, growth, welfare, neo-liberalism or socialism, new modes of imaging the economic system may b...
Paradoxical Right-Wing Sexual Politics in Europe
How did far-right, hateful and anti-democratic ideologies become so successful in many societies in Europe? This volume analyses the paradoxical roles sexual politics have played in this process and reveals that the incoherence and untruthfulness in right-wing populist, ultraconservative and far-right rhetorics of fear are not necessarily signs of weakness. Instead, the authors show how the far right can profit from its own incoherence by generating fear and creating discourses of crisis for which they are ready to offer simple solutions. In studies on Poland, Hungary, Spain, Italy, Austria, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Portugal, France, Sweden and Russia, the ways far-right ideologies travel and take root are analysed from a multi-disciplinary perspective, including feminist and LGBTQI reactions. Understanding how hateful and antidemocratic ideologies enter the very centre of European societies is a necessary premise for developing successful counterstrategies.
Awaken Your Genius
"Awaken Your Genius" is a renaissance book. It will show how there is a brilliance inside of us all and offers guidance for uncovering it. I heartily endorse it and believe it to be an important part of the fabric of the emerging new paradigm. —Dave Guerra begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting, Author Superperformance and The Superperforming CEO
The Transformation of the World
A panoramic global history of the nineteenth century A monumental history of the nineteenth century, The Transformation of the World offers a panoramic and multifaceted portrait of a world in transition. Jürgen Osterhammel, an eminent scholar who has been called the Braudel of the nineteenth century, moves beyond conventional Eurocentric and chronological accounts of the era, presenting instead a truly global history of breathtaking scope and towering erudition. He examines the powerful and complex forces that drove global change during the "long nineteenth century," taking readers from New York to New Delhi, from the Latin American revolutions to the Taiping Rebellion, from the perils and ...

Adjustment and Growth in the European Monetary Union
The Maastricht Treaty, signed in December 1991, set a timetable for the European Community's economic and monetary union (EMU) and clearly defined the institutional policy changes necessary for its achievement. Subsequent developments have demonstrated, however, the importance of many key issues in the transition to EMU that were largely neglected at the time. This volume reports the proceedings of a joint CEPR conference with the Banco de Portugal, held in January 1992. In these papers, leading international experts address the instability of the transition to EMU, the long-run implications of monetary union and the single market for growth and convergence in Europe. They also consider the prospects for inflation and fiscal convergence, regional policy and the integration of financial markets and fiscal systems. Attention focuses on adjustment mechanisms with differentiated shocks, region-specific business cycles and excessive industrial concentration and the cases for a two-speed EMU and fiscal federalism.
