The Growth of the British Economy 1918–1968 (Studies in Economics and Political Science)
by G. A. Phillips R. T. MaddockOriginally published in 1973, the aim of this work was to discuss the various factors governing the rate of growth of the British economy since the First World War. It endeavours to explain – or at least to provide the groundwork for an explanation of – the movements of aggregate production and productivity in this period. In so doing it examines two particular, and partly antithetical questions: why Britain exceeded the predictions of economic theorists who, until at least the Second World War, had forecast a retardation of growth in all mature industrial economies; and why, especially since 1950, the economy has expanded less quickly than many professional economists, and almost all politicians, thought possible. The authors look, in turn, at the changing trends in effective economic demand, both domestic and foreign; the supply of labour and capital; and the role of management and the state in fostering growth. Their object is to produce a balanced mixture of the available historical and statistical evidence and the relevant economic theory. They introduce their readers, at the same time, to the more specialized works of both disciplines. The book is the product of a fruitful collaboration between an economist and a historian, both with considerable experience in teaching students, combining their two subjects. It marries, accordingly, the qualities of apt and informative use of evidence, wide-ranging theoretical discussion, and clarity of exposition.
The Growth of the Fruit and Vegetable Export Industry in Peru (SpringerBriefs in Economics)
by Tatsuya ShimizuThis is the first book that analyzes the growth of the Peruvian fresh fruit and vegetable (FFV) export industry from the view point of the industrial development. Instead of pointing out comparative advantages in production factors such as favorable climate and cheap labor, this book focuses on the strategies of agribusiness companies, industrial organizations, and the public sector in the FFV export industry. The analysis is based on the theoretical frameworks of coordination, integration, and upgrades in value chains, business strategies to overcome seasonality and mitigate risks in agriculture, and cluster development based on joint actions among players in the industry. Based on the field studies with major FFV production and export companies and industrial organizations, the case studies describe specific innovations in management and organizations taken by key actors in the industry. This book can help policymakers in developing countries seek industrial development options based on agricultural exports.

The Growth of the Scholarly Publishing Industry in the U.S.: A Business History of a Changing Marketplace, 1939–1946
by Albert N. GrecoThis book analyzes the dynamic growth of the scholarly publishing industry in the United States during 1939-1946, a critical period in the business history of scholarly publications in STM and the humanities and the social sciences. It explains how the key publishing players positioned themselves to take advantage of the war economy and how they used different business and marketing strategies to create the market and demand for scholarly publications. Not only did the atomic threat necessitate a surge in scholarly research, but at the same time scholarly publishing managers prepared for the dramatic shift by anticipating the potential impact of the GI Bill on higher education, creating superb printed products, and by becoming the brand, the source of knowledge and information. The creation of strategic business units and value chains as well as the development of marketing targeting strategies resulted in brand loyalty to certain publishers and publications but also accelerated the growth of the US scholarly publishing industry. Business historians and marketing professors interested in the business strategies of scholarly publishers during World War II will find this book to be a valuable resource.

Growth Policy in the Age of High Technology: The Role Of Regions And States (Routledge Library Editions: The Economics and Business of Technology #46)
by Jurgen Schmandt Robert WilsonOriginally published in 1990 this book provides an authoritative and detailed account of the initiatives of US state governments with science and technology programs designed to foster economic growth. Two key questions are posed: Do state governments have policy instruments that are sufficiently powerful to affect thelevels and growth rates of their regional economies? and Are national and global economic forces so powerful that they render state action ineffective? Several subsidiary themes are discusses in this context, namely: the most commonly used policy instruments, the impacts on federalism and on governance and how well the universities and other educational institutions serve the economic activities imposed on them.
The Growth Report: Strategies for Sustained Growth and Inclusive Development
by Commission On Growth an DevelopmentWhy have only 13 developing world economies achieved sustained, high growth since World War II? Why is engagement with the global economy necessary to achieve high growth? Why do some countries' growth strategies fail to win the public's confidence? Why are equity and equality of opportunity important components of successful growth strategies? Why do many countries, blessed with natural resource wealth, not achieve high growth? Why has no country ever sustained rapid growth without high rates of public investment? Why does it not always pay to devalue the exchange rate? When does it? Why is childhood nutrition so important to economic growth? Why do some economies lose momentum when others keep on growing? Why has no country ever sustained long-term growth without urbanizing? Why should there be an end to energy subsidies? Why do global warming and the rising prices of food, energy and minerals pose challenges to potential future growth in developing countries? Why does the aging of the world population matter for developing countries growth and employment prospects? 'The Growth Report' does not have all the answers, but it does identify some of the key insights and policy levers to help countries achieve high, sustainable and inclusive growth. The result of two years work by 19 experienced policymakers and two Nobel prize-winning economists, 'The Growth Report' is the most complete analysis to date of the ingredients which, if used in the right country-specific recipe, can deliver growth and help lift populations out of poverty. About the Commission on Growth and Development Launched in April 2006, the Commission on Growth and Development brings together twenty-one leading practitioners from government, business, and the policymaking arenas, mostly from the developing world. The Commission is chaired by Nobel Laureate Michael Spence, former Dean of the Stanford Graduate Business School, and Danny Leipziger, Vice-President, World Bank, is the Commission's Vice-Chair. Over a period of two years the Commission sought to gather the best understanding there is about the policies and strategies that underlie rapid and sustained economic growth and poverty reduction. The Commission's audience is the leaders of developing countries. The Commission is supported by the Governments of Australia, Sweden, the Netherlands, and United Kingdom, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the World Bank.

The Growth Spiral: Money, Energy, and Imagination in the Dynamics of the Market Process
by Hans Christoph BinswangerThis book develops a new theory of the modern economy. Conventional economic theory is (still) based on an essentially static notion of equilibrium. In contrast, this book offers an analysis of the economic process based on a truly dynamic approach. It understands modern economic activity as manifesting itself in a growth spiral. There are two main drivers of the dynamics of this spiral: steady money creation in the banking system, on the one hand; and the continuous inflow of energy and raw materials through the exploitation of natural resources, on the other. Both driving forces are generally neglected by the conventional theory. Understanding their role is absolutely essential for preventing our economy from being more and more exposed to financial and ecological crises. This book offers important insights about the functioning of the modern economy and addresses the specialist as well as the interested lay reader.

Growth, Structural Change and Regional Inequality in Malaysia
by Asan Ali HassanEconomic development in the long run is seen as a process of structural change that is affected by economic growth. Malaysia is one of the middle-income economies that are going through rapid structural change. Since the mid 1980s it has changed to an industrially based economy with large-scale export of electrical and electronic components. However, thirty years after Malaysia's re-distributive policies have been exercised, regional inequality still exists. This book examines the nature and impact of regional policies in relation to the patterns of demographic and economic structural change and in relation to growth, distribution and income disparities across regions in Peninsular Malaysia. The book also explores the degree to which differences in regional manufacturing distribution and concentration have contributed to regional inequality. It concludes with a number of recommendations for regional policies that will reduce this inequality.

Growth, Trade, and Systemic Leadership
by Rafael Reuveny William R. ThompsonUsing a "lead economy" approach, Reuveny and Thompson link question about the global trade system to debates about hegemonic stability and the balance of power in world politics. By focusing on economic growth, protectionism, and trade, they surpass hegemonic stability interpretations of international politics to explain not only how hegemons maintain political order, but also the source of hegemonic/systemic leadership, the rise and decline of leadership over time, and the role of system leaders in generating worldwide economic growth and international political economic order. Rafael Reuveny is Associate Professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University. William R. Thompson is Professor of Political Science at Indiana University.

Growth Without Inequality: Reinventing Capitalism (Banking, Money and International Finance)
by Henry K. WooMany years on after the 2007–8 financial crisis, most developed nations still find themselves in a state of weak recovery, high debt pile-up and distributive disparity. The intriguing question that we face is whether the golden days of modern capitalism are over, or if capitalism is just undergoing another period of adjustment characteristic of its past. What is disheartening is that the twin economic goals of sustainable growth and equality, which the world has now come to recognise as of paramount importance but mutually conflicting, remain, more now than ever, illusive and unattainable. Growth Without Inequality attempts to address this issue and to provide a pragmatic solution especially for nations in the current policy gridlock. By offering a unified framework of factors that drive growth, it shows how growth also gives rise to an array of "anomalous market forms" (defined by different degrees of value and risk visibility) that subvert distributive equity between labour and capital. It debunks both the pure free market solution and the mixed economy approach on the ground that they fail to arrest the growth propelling yet subversive power inherent in the "corporate forms" under the present capitalistic regime. Having shown that effective reform can hardly take place within the system itself, this book proposes to build a separate sector (Economy II) and partition it from the existing system (Economy I). The solution is easy to implement and quick to take effect. By one single stroke, this "Non-Marxist" solution can happily achieve the ideals of both "competitive capitalism" and "egalitarian socialism".
Grundeinkommen: Eine ökonomische Betrachtung (essentials)
by Joachim WeeberDie Diskussion über die Gewährung eines staatlich garantierten Mindesteinkommens hat in den letzten Jahren wieder an Stärke gewonnen. Die Absicherung einer solchen Existenzgrundlage soll in Form eines Grundeinkommens erfolgen. Mit Hilfe solcher Radikalmodelle verfolgen verschiedene politische und gesellschaftliche Gruppierungen gänzlich unterschiedliche Zielvorstellungen. Allerdings werden unter dem Begriff ‚Grundeinkommen‘ erheblich voneinander abweichende Modelle verstanden. Joachim Weeber analysiert die Auswirkungen verschiedener Ausgestaltungsalternativen vor allem auf den Arbeitsmarkt, aber auch auf Konjunktur und Einkommensverteilung. Aspekte einer Bedürftigkeitsprüfung, die Höhe eines Grundeinkommens sowie die gewählten Finanzierungsvarianten sind hier entscheidend. Eine Übersicht über mögliche Maßnahmen innerhalb des bestehenden Systems der sozialen Sicherung zeigt Wege zu einer Sicherung der Existenzgrundlage ohne Radikalreformen auf.
Grundeinkommen und Menschenwürde: Ein Weckruf für mehr Selbstbestimmung, Solidarität und Plutokratieabwehr
by Brüne SchloenWieso wächst in Deutschland trotz glänzender Konjunktur und steigender Außenhandelsüberschüssedie Zahl der Armutsgefährdeten unvermindert weiter?• Kann das nicht mehr zu übersehende, weitere Auseinanderdriften von Arm undReich zu noch mehr Gesellschaftsspaltung mit – insoweit die Entwicklung inden USA nachvollziehend – teilweise faschistoiden Radikalisierungen führen?• Kann die voranschreitende Digitalisierung die obigen Prozesse verstärken, insbesonderezu immer mehr prekären Arbeitsverhältnissen und sich weiter beschleunigendenEinkommensspreizungen führen?• In summa verbleibt zumindest für Optimisten die Gegenfrage: Hilft uns, wie esPrecht und andere empfehlen, gegen vorgenannte Disruptionsgefahren nurnoch ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen?• Und als logische Ergänzung dazu: Ist ein Grundeinkommen in substanziellerHöhe überhaupt finanzierbar?
Grundeinkommen und seine Finanzierung: Klimasolidarisch und menschenwürdig
by Brüne SchloenDie politische Realität ist momentan von einer Reformmüdigkeit geprägt, die in der Gesellschaft vermehrt zu Zukunftsängsten und offenen Aggressionen führt. Dabei muss sozialer Ungerechtigkeit und der Zerstörung von Klima und Umwelt mehr entgegengehalten werden als nur punktuelle Einzellösungen. Einen Ausweg aus der Misere stellt das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen dar. Als umfassendes Reformkonzept hat es das Potenzial, unser Wirtschafts- und Sozialsystem so weit zu reformieren, dass eine weitere Spaltung der Gesellschaft abgewendet werden kann.Dieses Buch zeigt umfassend auf, warum ein substanzielles Grundeinkommen dringend notwendig ist und wie es finanziert werden kann. Mit Hilfe eines ganzheitlichen Ansatzes verdeutlicht der Autor, welche Synergien zwischen einem solchen Grundeinkommen, gerechter Sozialpolitik und nachhaltiger Umweltpolitik freigesetzt werden können. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei Maßnahmen wie die Reform der Erbschaftssteuer, die Abschaffung des Hartz-IV-Systems und die Einführung einer wirksamen CO2-Besteuerung.Für die zweite Auflage wurde das Buch in weiten Teilen überarbeitet, das Thema der Klimasolidarität auf der Grundlage eines bedingungslosen Grundeinkommens bildet einen neuen Schwerpunkt.
