Understanding Capitalism: Competition, Command, and Change

ASIN: 0195138651 |
Book Description
The third edition of Understanding Capitalism: Competition, Command, and Change is an introduction to economics that explains how capitalism works, why it sometimes does not work as well as we would like it to, and how over time it not only changes but also revolutionizes the world around us. The "three-dimensional approach" of the text focuses on competition in markets; command in firms, governments, and international relations; and change as a permanent feature of a capitalist economy driven by technical innovation and conflict over the distribution of income. The book covers the standard topics of supply and demand, market competition, imperfect competition, aggregate demand, inflation, and unemployment. It emphasizes the extraordinary dynamism and material productivity of the capitalist economy; the psychological foundations of human behavior; the logic and limitations of Adam Smith's invisible hand; technical change and the new information-based economy; global economic integration and its impact on national economies; the impact of economic activity on the environment; and inequality both within and among nations. In addition, it provides a critical evaluation of the tenets of neoclassical economics, a clear introduction to contract theory, and material drawn from new research in behavioral, institutional, and information economics. Understanding Capitalism, Third Edition, is ideal for undergraduate courses in economics and political economy. An Instructor's Manual is available to adopters. FEATURES OF THE THIRD EDITION BLOffers a new chapter on the behavioral foundations of economics, showing that the selfishness of the "economic man" leaves out the important role of other social motives and how individual tastes and values evolve in response to experiences BLIncludes a new chapter that examines how economic success (and poverty) are passed on from parents to children and also looks at the increasing inequality of income and wealth along lines of race and gender BLPresents a completely revised and expanded treatment of the revolutionary changes that have been associated with capitalism over the past three centuries BLProvides boxed treatments of issues that can serve as the basis of classroom discussions BLDefines important terms in the margins throughout the text BLContains a section entitled "Sources of Economic Information" that helps readers locate relevant outside data, both in print and onlineCustomer Reviews:

Classical Many-Body Problems Amenable to Exact Treatments: (Solvable and/or Integrable and/or Linearizable...) in One-, Two- and Three-Dimensional Space (Lecture Notes in Physics)
Francesco Calogero Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3540417648 |
Book Description
This book focuses on exactly treatable classical (i.e. non-quantal non-relativistic) many-body problems, as described by Newton's equation of motion for mutually interacting point particles. Most of the material is based on the author's research and is published here for the first time in book form. One of the main novelties is the treatment of problems in two- and three-dimensional space. Many related techniques are presented, e.g. the theory of generalized Lagrangian-type interpolation in higher-dimensional spaces.This book is written for students as well as for researchers; it works out detailed examples before going on to treat more general cases. Many results are presented via exercises, with clear hints pointing to their solutions.

Book Description
To an outsider, it might seem like an uneventful summer, but to Jackie it's a whole new world. Her father has a new girlfriend -- a young tattoo-artist named Nicole. Her mother seems more interested in Theresa, the sick girl living across the street, than she is in her own daughter. The only thing keeping Jackie from disappearing altogether is the small butterfly tattoo she lets Nicole give her. But when Jackie's Mom forces her to spend time with Theresa, Jackie learns to value the vibrancy in her own life, by adding a bit of colour to someone else's.Customer Reviews:

A comprehensive guide to Emotion Marketing.......2003-09-17
The book has mentioned many examples of successful emotion marketing strategies used by Hallmark and other companies like Harley-Davidson. However, what they have already done does not mean ¡§sure-win¡¨ plans.
The book explained a model for Emotion Marketing ¡V Value StarSM. Base on this model, any business can work out its own tailor-made success formula. Then, the book also taught us how to put Emotion Marketing to work at different areas of business, like on the Internet.
Emotion Marketing is actually about how to attract and retain customers that will be loyal to a brand for a lifetime. Therefore, the key is how a business manages its customer relationships.
This is a very good book because it goes beyond telling us WHAT to do, but HOW we should PLAN what to do.

Trading Up: Consumer and Environmental Regulation in a Global Economy
David Vogel Manufacturer: Harvard University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0674900847 |
Book Description
Health, safety, and environmental regulations have been traditionally perceived as distinct entities from trade policy, yet today they have become intertwined on a global scale. In this pioneering work, David Vogel integrates environmental, consumer, and trade policy, and explicitly challenges the conventional wisdom that trade liberalization and agreements to promote free trade invariably undermine national health, safety, and environmental standards. Vogel demonstrates that liberal trade policies often produce precisely the opposite effect: that of strengthening regulatory standards.
The most comprehensive account of trade and regulation on a global scale, this book analyzes the regulatory dimensions of all major international and regional trade agreements and treaties, including GATT, NAFTA, the Free Trade Agreement between Canada and the United States, and the treaties that created the European Community and Union. He explores in depth some of the most important trade and regulatory conflicts, including the GATT tuna-dolphin dispute, the EC's beef hormone ban, the Danish bottle case, and the debate in the United States over the regulatory implications of both NAFTA and GATT.
This timely book unravels the increasingly important and contentious relationship between trade and environmental, health, and safety standards, paying particular attention to the politics that underlie trade and regulatory linkages. Trading Up is essential reading for the business community, policymakers, environmentalists, consumer interest groups, political scientists, lawyers, and economists.
