The New Regional Economies: The U.S. Common Market and the Global Economy

Book Description

Traditionally, we take a nationalist view of our economy. Our politics and economics are wedded in the political economy of the nation state and the nationalist economic policies. This "nationalist paradigm" is, however, showing signs of fatigue: The role of the nation state is diminishing as the economy globalizes; our national accounting systems are less effective, technology forces change; trading blocs are emerging; there is less control of exchange rates; regional economies are restructuring; and competitive environments are changing. This book poses that political jurisdictions are not economies but polities, and explores the complex and important economic implications of this thesis. In reality, metropolitan-centered economic regions are the basic economic units and the building blocks of the U.S. economy. The linked, interdependent system of local economic regions form the U.S. Common Market, which in turn thrives within a global context of mutuality and interdependence. William R. Barnes and Larry C. LedeburÆs paradigm shift from the "nation as the economy" to the "national system of local economic regions" changes the framework in which we think about governance and policy and puts this book at the forefront of U.S. economic thought.

Franchising is the wave of the new century!.......2000-04-02

The author shares the explosive opportunities in building franchises in the 21st century. This trend is due to the many layers of management being pushed out of their corporate havens and having to create their own employment. Many of these former corporate staffers are going to look into purchasing businesses and having more control over their fate. As a result they are going to look at proven business systems to purchase versus building a business from scratch.

For current business owners, they can expand their businesses through franchising. This expansion will create residual or passive income through the royalties.

Men of Steel.......2001-08-07

This book should have been titled, "Men of Steel" because the men who founded and grew the company had great courage and fortitude.

Although the book gets a little corporate-y towards the end, there is a lot of good, solid business information, plus some of the behind-the-scenes stuff that you normally only hear about on programs like the History Channel. In one humorous incident, rodengen and Lieber explain how the Staten Island ferry lost power and almost ran aground during its maiden voyage - with NY's mayor, congressmen and other notables aboard.

If you like watching "Modern Marvels" you'll like this meticulously edited book.

Book Description

According to conventional wisdom, public ownership of industry in post-war Britain led, invariably, to under-performance. This book casts doubt upon this view by showing that, as far as the labor productivity record of the expanding state-owned industries is concerned, this was clearly not the case.

The book compares the 1954-79 labor productivity record of five expanding public sector industries to that of 24 expanding, capital intensive, mass-production industries in the British private sector. The author shows that the public sector industries' labor productivity growth was significantly faster than that of the private sector industries. Strikingly, he also finds that the state-owned industries were narrowing their productivity gap with their US counterparts at a significantly faster rate than the private sector industries. Dr. Iordanoglou concludes that it is possible that public ownership had - in the historical period investigated - a long-term positive effect on these industries.

This book will be of great interest to scholars of industrial economics, public sector economics and economic history.
