Taxation in a Global Economy: Theory and Evidence

Book Description

The increasing international mobility of capital, firms and consumers affects tax policies in most OECD countries, playing a major role in reforming national tax systems. Haufler uses standard microeconomic analysis to consider the fundamental forces underlying this process. Topics include a variety of different international tax avoidance strategies--capital flight, profit shifting in multinational firms, and cross-border shopping. Haufler addresses the issue of coordination in different areas of tax policy, with emphasis on regional tax harmonization in the EU. Also included is a detailed introduction to recent theoretical literature.

Book Description

The Gendered Worlds of Latin American Women Workers examines the lives of Latin American women who entered factory labor in increasing numbers in the early part of the twentieth century. Emphasizing the integration of traditional labor history topics with historical accounts of gender, female subjectivity, and community, this volume focuses on the experience of working women at mid-century, especially those laboring in the urban industrial sector. In its exploration of working women’s agency and consciousness, this collection offers rich detail regarding women’s lives as daughters, housewives, mothers, factory workers, trade union leaders, and political activists.
Widely seen as a hostile sexualized space, the modern factory was considered a threat, not only to the virtue of working women, but also to the survival of the family, and thus, the future of the nation. Yet working-class women continued to labor outside the home and remained highly visible in the expanding world of modern industry. In nine essays dealing with Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Guatemala, the contributors make extensive use of oral histories to describe the contradictory experiences of women whose work defied gender prescriptions but was deemed necessary by working-class families in a world of need and scarcity. The volume includes discussion of previously neglected topics such as single motherhood, women’s struggle against domestic violence, and the role of women as both desiring and desired subjects.

The McGraw-Hill 36-Hour Negotiating Course is a practical alternative to business school commutes or endless lecture classes.

Designed for easy use, the book builds knowledge in easy-to-accomplish graduated steps. Key concepts and points are highlighted with boxes, and reading assignments and numerous self-tests guide readers every step of the way. A frameable Certificate of Achievement is available to those readers who submit and pass the final exam at the back of the book. Complete with essential techniques for refining persuasive communication skills, plus a special section on the legal issues associated with negotiating, this authortative, accessible book will help readers to structure and negotiate solid deals and agreements and broaden their knowledge base easily and inexpensively.

Customer Reviews:

A useful resource for those involved in negotiations.......1999-09-16

Anyone who negotiates for a living should read everything available on the subject, in part to improve their own ability but primarily to understand the approach and tactics the other party may be deploying. While I don't put the Schoenfield's in the same league as people like Roger Dawson or Gerry Spence, they do a very credible job of detailing the negotiating process and instructing would-be negotiators. To state the obvious, if you're involved in a serious negotiation and are searching for a book to provide you with immediate help, you're in trouble! Hire a professional to help you through your current negotiations and when time permits and the situation is less critical, read this and other books and take a few courses or lessons in negotiating. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me - adamleft@webspan.net.

The evening is devoted to learning how to track investments and retirement accounts with Quicken.

The next two chapters show you how Quicken will make it easier to manage your taxes, consolidate debt, and perform financial planning.

Customer Reviews:

I found it clear, concise, easy to understand and follow.......1999-02-17

Learning Quicken seemed really daunting. But this book made it easy--by covering all the basic financial activities and guiding me literally step by step through each activity. The book is logically organized, and includes great graphics, summaries, and troubleshooting tips. I highly recommend it.

Covers the basics, but not much in depth analysis.......1999-01-24

I recently purchased Quicken Deluxe 99 and found it to be very difficult to set up anything but the most simple investments. I was hoping this book would explain how to handle more complex investment setups and related investment tracking, but I was disappointed. It seems to cover the same areas as the on-line help, but little beyond that.

Rather than serving as a tutorial, Using Quicken Deluxe 99 is organized as a task-oriented reference, allowing users to flip to the pages that explain how to perform a particular function within Quicken. The book uses written instructions more often than screen shots, so it is more appropriate for the returning Quicken user than for the absolute beginner.

A brief section reviews the basic tasks in Quicken, from recording transactions to running financial reports. Subsequent sections detail how to calculate taxes, use online services to perform transactions, manage finances for a small business, and track investments. The book also shows you how to organize your personal records with this software and how to customize Quicken to fit your needs. Budgetary advice and tips on using Quicken more efficiently are included within the book's margins. A glossary at the back of Using Quicken Deluxe 99 defines financial terms that users might not be familiar with. Additionally, the guide includes a pull-out quick-reference card to Quicken shortcuts that users can post next to the computer. --Cristina Vaamonde
