    Book Description

    "Anne O. Krueger has assembled and deftly summarized an excellent set of papers on the major issues in economic reform in developing countries at the turn of the century."—Stanley Fischer, International Monetary Fund

    The papers and commentary collected in this volume discuss vital contemporary thinking on economic policy reform—in particular, the difficulties that leave so much of the world mired in poverty. Distinguished contributors address issues ranging from education and privatization to exchange rates and telecommunications reform, providing an excellent overview of the current situation and the possible paths into the future.

    Book Description

    Hidden behind a number of economic crises in the mid- to late 1990s-including Argentina's headline-grabbing monetary and political upheaval-is that fact that Latin American economies have, generally speaking, improved dramatically in recent years. Their success has been due, in large part, to macroeconomic reforms, and this book brings together prominent economists and policymakers to assess a decade of such policy shifts, highlighting both the many success stories and the areas in which further work is needed. Contributors offer both case studies of individual countries and regional overviews, covering monetary, financial, and fiscal policy.

    Contributors also work to identify future concerns and erect clear signposts for future reforms. For instance, now that inflation rates have been stabilized, one suggested "second stage" monetary reform would be to focus on reducing rates from high to low single digits. Financial sector reforms, it is suggested, should center on improving regulation and supervision. And, contributors argue, since fiscal stability has already been achieved in most countries, new fiscal reforms need to concentrate on institutionalizing fiscal discipline, improving the efficiency and equity of tax collection, and modifying institutional arrangements to deal with increasingly decentralized federal systems.

    The analysis and commentary in this volume-authored not only by academic observers but by key Latin American policymakers with decades of firsthand experience-will prove important to anyone with an interest in the future of Latin American's continuing economic development and reform.

    5 out of 5 stars a must for any economist interested in latin america.......2003-07-05

    The book is a great compilation of articles that tough on the most important macroeconomic issues facing Latin America on the eve of the new decade. The book is completely policy orientte but it offers an excelent mix of scholarly technical work with non technical insightful policy analysis. The authors are well known scholars and policy makers.

            5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource.......2007-03-09

            I've read and re-read Bewsey's book, Start and Run a Home Cleaning Business and she's done a fabulous job. There are lots of ideas for people generally in business for themselves working out of their homes. She has great goal-setting questions and really tries to focus the reader on thinking, not just about cleaning homes, but providing a service that clients will call upon again and again. Bewsey has wonderful customer service ideas, marketing and pricing your service. She's done a great job and this book has already become a very usable resource.

            5 out of 5 stars Wonderful book to get you started..........2006-11-02

            This book got me started and is wonderful! For even more information check out the global cleaning association site and housecleaning pro site also google Suze and Ev. I've read it all and these are the best I've found!

            5 out of 5 stars Well Written - Very Helpful.......2006-09-06

            This book is very well written and an excellent guide if the reader is looking to build a successful, profitable home cleaning business. Susan Bewsey does a good job of outlining the steps you need to take to get this business off the ground, and to maintain the business. She also gives a good general idea of what all the business involves. As far as holding your hand to go get the license, bonding and insurance...no, she doesn't do that. But she does tell you what you need, and where and who to check with to obtain them, and to get more information on them. After all, different country's, states, and even city's requirements differ. If you're going to make it in a business of your own, you need to be able to do some things for yourself.

            1 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2005-05-21

            The book is so basic - no details. For example, you would think it would go into the details of insurance - what the difference is between bonding and liability insurance and advise you as to which you need, and where to go for this, and how much to expect it to cost. Instead the book only says, "This Insurance is important protection" and will "offset the costs of major damages". Same with Licenses. It tells you that you need one - offers no advice as to how to go about getting one, if there are fees, etc. - zero details at all. I was very disappointed in this book.

            4 out of 5 stars Good Book.......2005-04-02

            This is a good book, not too original or with the times though, times are changing fast. I would recommend augmenting it with the Suze and Ev method for starting a cleaning business, which is available online. Google it!

            Book Description

            Gender and Power in Affluent Asia is the first major study to provide analysis of the relationships between gender and power that have accompanied the rise of Asian affluence. The book prompts a series of questions about the links between gender, modernity and globalization in the region and pursues two major themes: gender relations are central to the making of the middle classes and modernity in the region; and representations of gender occupy a central place in the contests about meanings and identities accompanying these processes. This is an innovative work that provides coverage of a complex topic that has often been neglected. It gives more than just analysis of Asian women, it demonstrates the central importance of gender in the modernizing and globalizing of Asia.

            `Gender and Power in Affluent Asia' is about women, new rich and power in East and South-East Asia. This is a landmark study devoted to study the relationships between gender and power associated with the new rich class in the East and South-East Asian region written by a group of academics from Australia and Asia. This is the third book of the New Rich Series published by the Asia Research Center located at Perth based Murdoch University.

            This is indeed a rich compendium of knowledge on theories relating to gender, power, sex and modernity covering one of the most populated regions of the world.

              5 out of 5 stars The Most Thorough Web Marketing Book Today!.......1998-10-04

                   Today there are millions of people from around the world who have jumped aboard the information superhighway. The numbers are growing every day. They represent a potential marketing goldmine for anyone willing and ready to capitalize on the opportunity to reach them. Dowling, Kuegler, Taylor, and Testerman (not a law firm), have written Web Advertising and Marketing to offer readers the information they need to get online and to increase their bottom line!

                   The authors include information concerning a variety of topics, including Internet censorship, privacy, jurisdictional matters, copyright infringement, online security, netiquette, and more.

              5 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource and a Fun Read!.......1998-09-26

              I came into this book thinking I new a lot about building a Web Page for my company. What I learned from this book showed me that didn't know anything. This book is written in a way that gives you real life direction with real life examples, yet was fun to read. I highly recommend it.

              1 out of 5 stars Not what I was hoping for..........1998-09-25

              This title is a bit misleading, I think. I was looking for a book on Internet advertising strategies -- how to decide where to advertise, develop effective ads, calculate the success of campaigns, etc. Instead, this book is an introductory primer to the Internet itself with definitions of email and surfing and very basic information on creating a site. If you've never been online, this book may help you but if you're looking for some meaty information about the techniques and strategies behind advertising on the Web, this is not the book for you.

              5 out of 5 stars Well Written.......1998-09-19

              I found this book to be the most helpful of all of the Internet Marketing Books. It is always great to read experts who are in the business everyday and who can talk about real company experiences.

              This book has convinced me to try my own on-line venture.

                        Book Description

                        Controversy still looms large both in public and academic circles as to the role of large corporations in sustainable economic growth. In this book, the new-institutional economics perspective is adopted to clarify and answer some of the most critical questions relating to the behavior of large corporations in Korea, or the chaebol, and the role and impact of institutions on their behavior.

                        The book proposes a new chaebol policy that should enhance chaebol competitiveness, by introducing a new paradigm for Korea's development strategy based firmly on a market economy that effectively breaks away from the government-led policies of the last three decades.

                        The Evolution of Large Corporations in Korea is a unique approach to understanding the issues surrounding the chaebol and will, by constructing a viable path for the advancement of the Korean economy, be of great interest to government, policymakers and management consultants as well as academics and scholars of Asian Studies, business economics and industrial organization.

                        Book Description

                        bBelarus is unique among the states of the former Soviet bloc, in that after a decade of transition', the country remains stalled' and backward-oriented. Political and economic changes are characterised by half-measures, and recently a new suppression of dissent has been introduced; the country balances between the prospect of democracy and a retreat to authoritarianism. These developments contrast starkly with the many democratic changes in neighbouring states and suggest a possible alternative path for future development in Eastern Europe. This book provides a thorough overview of current developments in Belarus. It looks at historical, political, economic and social changes, and at international relations, especially relations with Russia and the European Union, considering all these factors both in their domestic and international contexts and defines the type of democracy, if any, which exists in Belarus, exploring the prospects for further democratisation.

                        5 out of 5 stars Excellent Contribution!!!!!.......2003-10-17

                        This book fills an obvious gap in contemporary east-European political literature. Unlike other books on Belarus, the strong point this book has is that is written primarily by young Belarusian scholars who have studied both within Belarus and in the west and thus gives a far more even account of the true nature of this interesting nation.

                        This book is required reading for any serious scholar of east European politics, economics, culture or society.

                          Book Description

                          Belarus is a small country of only 10 million inhabitants on the south-west fringes of Russia. It has few natural resources, does little trade with the West, has virtually no tourism and shows little interest in the world to its west. But it has one feature which is bringing it to the attention of a wider European public: following EU enlargement it will have more than 100 kilometers of frontier with the EU.

                          This book is designed to give the reader a picture of where Belarus stands more than a decade after independence, how it may develop internally, and prospects for relations with its neighbors; and to put forward a variety of ideas about the EU's policy towards Belarus and how, if at all, it might be made more effective.

                          This book addresses some of the most important questions facing Belarus. Is the current system sustainable? Will President Putin be willing to continue the massive economic subsidies which keep the Belarusian economy afloat? If so, will he demand some pay-back for his support? Can any kind of credible opposition develop? Will the younger generation want a different system or way of life?

                          The book presents a multi-faceted view of Belarus and its relations with the EU and others. The contributors include academics and analysts, politicians and practitioners, from Belarus (official and unoffical), all over Europe and beyond.

                          Contributors include a wide range of academics and officials, professionals and practitioners, from Belarus, EU countries and beyond.

                              This succinct, highly readable guide to understanding Israeli culture and dealing with Israelis in business and social contexts makes observations solidly supported by academic research on the subject. Topics range from negotiating with Israelis to hot-button issues like religion and politics. The bibliography of books and Internet sites provides additional resources for those who want to know more. A must-read for Americans seeking successful intercultural communication with Israelis, whether in the U.S. or Israel.

                              I had originally purchased this book to use for a school project. While the book was extremely useful for my Human Resources class, I also found the issues and topics presented in the book to be of great interest. This book is easy reading, short and to the point.
