Públic ISBD Títol : Culture and prosperity : the truth about markets : why some nations are rich but most remain poor Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : J. A. Kay (1948-) Editorial : New York : HarperBusiness Data de publicació : 2004 Nombre de pàgines : viii, 420 p. ll. : il. Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-06-058705-5 Nota general : Inclou índex i bibliografia Ed. rev. de: The truth about markets. 2003. Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Capitalisme Cultura Desenvolupament econòmic Lliure empresa Política econòmica Classificació : 01 Ciència econòmica Resum : A witty and accessible tour de force that is immersed in the latest economic thinking, Culture and Prosperity is an indispensable guide to the world around us and destined to become a classic text for understanding the politics of globalization. Guided by the belief that a combination of lightly regulated capitalism and liberal democracy -- the American business model -- is not just appropriate for America at the dawn of the twenty-first century, but a universal path to freedom and prosperity, the United States is an unrivaled colossus seeking to remake the world in its own image. After a decade of successive market revolutions around the world, beginning with the collapse of the Berlin Wall and continuing in countries as diverse as Argentina and New Zealand, the effectiveness of the market economy as a route to prosperity and growth is not in question, but a more sophisticated appreciation of the strengths and limits of markets is urgently required. In this new and illuminating analysis of the nature and evolution of the market economy, John Kay attacks the oversimplified account of its operation, contained in the American business model and favored by politicians and business people. He even questions whether it offers an accurate description of the success of the American economy itself. In an absorbing argument that rewards close reading, and rereading, Culture and Prosperity examines every assumption we have about economic life from a refreshingly new angle. Taking the reader from the shores of Lake Zurich to the streets of Mumbai, from the flower market of San Remo to the sales rooms at Christie's, John Kay reveals the connection between a nation's social, political, and cultural context and its economic performance.

Economía mundial / Jaime Requeijo (cop. 2006)

Públic ISBD Títol : Economía mundial Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Jaime Requeijo, Autor Menció d'edició : 3a ed. Editorial : Madrid : McGraw-Hill/Interamericana de España Data de publicació : cop. 2006 Nombre de pàgines : xv, 392 p. ll. : gràf., taules Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-84-481-4655-9 Nota general : Inclou índex i bibliografia Idioma : Castellà (spa) Matèries : Cicles econòmics Desenvolupament econòmic Economia internacional Integració econòmica Classificació : 9 Finances internacionals Resum : El presente libro analiza los dos tipos de fuerzas a que están sujetos los mercados mundiales: Fuerzas centrípetas, que tienden a unirlos: el comercio, los movimientos de integración, los mercados de capital y la difusión de la tecnología. Fuerzas centrífugas, que actúan en sentido contrario: las diferencias del grado de desarrollo, el distinto pulso demográfico de los países, la volatilidad de los mercados financieros y los problemas latentes en los mercados energéticos. Pero el análisis de nuestro mundo económico quedaría incompleto si no se hiciera referencia a dos problemas que siguen acosando a todos los países -la dimensión del sector público y el desempleo- y a dos temas de especial interés: la nueva economía y la globalización. El empleo masivo de tecnologías de la información y comunicación, ¿pueden alterar el contenido y duración de los ciclos? El capítulo undécimo trata de dar respuesta a la pregunta. ¿Qué entendemos por globalización y cuáles son los efectos de esa profunda integración de los mercados? El capítulo último del libro intenta responder a esta cuestión. Este libro es, ante todo, un manual dirigido a los estudiantes de Ciencias Sociales y, especialmente, a los de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales. De ahí que el texto se complemente con Anexos, un Glosario, y una lista de direcciones de Internet, dedicados a facilitar la asimilación de los conceptos. Pero aspira también a ser un libro de consulta para todos aquellos que entienden que ningún país está hoy aislado de los demás, y que lo que ocurre en los lugares más remotos termina por afectar a nuestas vidas Permalink : https://bibliotecatriasfargas.cat/pmb/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=1 Economía mundial [text imprès] / Jaime Requeijo, Autor  . -  3a ed. . - Madrid : McGraw-Hill/Interamericana de España, cop. 2006 . - xv, 392 p. : gràf., taules ; 24 cm.

The prosperity paradox / Clayton M. Christensen (2019)

Públic ISBD Títol : The prosperity paradox : how innovations can lift nations out of poverty Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Clayton M. Christensen ; Efosa Ojomo, Autor ; Karen Dillon, Autor Menció d'edició : 1a Ed. Editorial : Harper Collins Data de publicació : 2019 Nombre de pàgines : 344 p. ll. : il. Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-06-285182-6 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Desenvolupament econòmic Pobresa Riquesa Classificació : 00 Economia Resum : Clayton M. Christensen, the author of such business classics as The Innovator's Dilemma and the New York Times bestseller How Will You Measure Your Life, and co-authors Efosa Ojomo and Karen Dillon reveal why so many investments in economic development fail to generate sustainable prosperity, and offers a groundbreaking solution for true and lasting change. Global poverty is one of the world's most vexing problems. For decades, we've assumed smart, well-intentioned people will eventually be able to change the economic trajectory of poor countries. From education to healthcare, infrastructure to eradicating corruption, too many solutions rely on trial and error. Essentially, the plan is often to identify areas that need help, flood them with resources, and hope to see change over time. But hope is not an effective strategy. Clayton M. Christensen and his co-authors reveal a paradox at the heart of our approach to solving poverty. While noble, our current solutions are not producing consistent results, and in some cases, have exacerbated the problem. At least twenty countries that have received billions of dollars' worth of aid are poorer now. Applying the rigorous and theory-driven analysis he is known for, Christensen suggests a better way. The right kind of innovation not only builds companies-but also builds countries. The Prosperity Paradox identifies the limits of common economic development models, which tend to be top-down efforts, and offers a new framework for economic growth based on entrepreneurship and market-creating innovation. Christensen, Ojomo, and Dillon use successful examples from America's own economic development, including Ford, Eastman Kodak, and Singer Sewing Machines, and shows how similar models have worked in other regions such as Japan, South Korea, Nigeria, Rwanda, India, Argentina, and Mexico. The ideas in this book will help companies desperate for real, long-term growth see actual, sustainable progress where they've failed before. But The Prosperity Paradox is more than a business book; it is a call to action for anyone who wants a fresh take for making the world a better and more prosperous place.
