Von Mises The Rationalist.......2003-02-21
Ludwig von Mises published his first book in 1912 ("Theory of Money and Credit") and his final book - "The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science" - in 1962 (although he continued to write articles until near the end of his incredibly productive life).
In "The Ultimate Foundation", von Mises returns to one of his central concerns: the foundation of economic theories. According to von Mises, the principles of economic thought are "a priori." In fact, they are a "subset" of more basic principles of human action. Von Mises called the study of human action "praxiology." According to Mises, the a priori categories "are the mental equipment by dint of which man is able to think and to experience and thus to acquire knowledge." [p. 18.] It is these categories which provide order and regularity to man's understanding. The category of human action is: "Man acts because he is dissatisfied with the state of affairs as it prevails in the absence of his intervention." [p. 3.] Further axioms follow logically from this axiom. [p. 45.] The principles of economics are therefore deductive. On the other hand, the principles of the physical sciences are inductive. The error of positivism is to apply the principles of the physical sciences to economics, where they are not applicable. Economics is closer to mathematics than it is to chemistry.
It's hard to summarize this book. Von Mises deals with a large number of topics in a relatively small number of pages. These include evolution, Marxism, theism, the use of statistics, and methodological individualism. Yet what shines through is von Mises' love of economics and his belief that the teachings of economics - which is to say free enterprise - is the key to increasing man's standard of living and promoting social cooperation.
Interestingly, von Hayek - Mises' best known student -- also returned to methodology in his final book, "The Fatal Conceit." While von Mises remained a rationalist until the end, Hayek drifted toward a more empirical approach to social and economic thought. It would make an interesting study to compare these two works. Joseph Salerno touches on some of these points in his essay "Mises as Social Rationalist" in Herbener, ed., "The Meaning of Ludwig von Mises."

Important read for IP junkies.......2002-03-08
With China joining the WTO at the end of last year it has become more important for Westerners to understand this aspect of Chinese society. Under the WTO, China is obligated by the rules of the TRIPs Agreement (Trade Related aspects of Intellectual Property)amongst other traditional trade rules.
To join the world trading community, China has obligated itself to enforce intellectual property rights (Copyright, Trademark, and Patent protection)
This book traces the long Chinese history of these rights and gives an important insight into the cultural differences that exist and are ingrained in Chinese society compared to an almost reflexive understanding of these rights in the West.
An important contribution for readers with an apprecition for historical sweep analysis of an issue.

Book Description
Do you know where your investments go? How effective and accountable are the resources used in the international development? How can intercultural frictions, governance scandals, or corruption be prevented?
Based on a case study the author unveils a gap in the governance of development projects, a gap between implementation and governance, ultimately hindering effective, transparent and accountable usage of resources.
Illustrated with entertaining examples the author, himself a senior manager in development and business, develops a Project Governance model. Overcoming shortcomings of the theories of corporate governance and business ethics, of best practices in development and project management, the Project Governance Model is a concrete model for practitioners and academics. Its six modules build an integrated, strategically oriented and ethically reflected platform for a more truthful and efficient cooperation in difficult projects or programs such as in development.
Customer Reviews:
Effective development aid.......2007-07-18
The book aims to understand why development projects often don't work ver well. Using the field study of multidonor economic development project in Southeast Asia the author shows that there is a govenance gap between the strategic-normal and the operational management level. Patrick Renz, himself an experienced senior rank manager, develops than a project governance model for assessing development projects and improving aid effectiveness. This sophisticated and compellingly convincing book should be compulsory reading for everybody in charge of or interested in development aid, multicultural management, nonprofit organzations and applied business ethics.

Terse. Look elsewhere.......1999-10-20
Purchased as required reading as part of an MBA program, this book is brutal. The font is small and the writing is terse at best. It doesn't get much drier than this. My recommendation is that you look elsewhere.
