Inequality / Anthony. B. Atkinson (2015)

Públic ISBD Títol : Inequality : what can be done? Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Anthony. B. Atkinson Editorial : Cambridge, Mas. : Harvard University Press Data de publicació : 2015 Nombre de pàgines : XI, 384 p. ll. : gr f., taules Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-674-50476-9 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Distribució de la renda Estat del benestar Pobresa Classificació : 00 Economia Resum : Inequality is one of our most urgent social problems. Curbed in the decades after World War II, it has recently returned with a vengeance. We all know the scale of the problem―talk about the 99% and the 1% is entrenched in public debate―but there has been little discussion of what we can do but despair. According to the distinguished economist Anthony Atkinson, however, we can do much more than skeptics imagine. Atkinson has long been at the forefront of research on inequality, and brings his theoretical and practical experience to bear on its diverse problems. He presents a comprehensive set of policies that could bring about a genuine shift in the distribution of income in developed countries. The problem, Atkinson shows, is not simply that the rich are getting richer. We are also failing to tackle poverty, and the economy is rapidly changing to leave the majority of people behind. To reduce inequality, we have to go beyond placing new taxes on the wealthy to fund existing programs. We need fresh ideas. Atkinson thus recommends ambitious new policies in five areas: technology, employment, social security, the sharing of capital, and taxation. ‎ He defends these against the common arguments and excuses for inaction: that intervention will shrink the economy, that globalization makes action impossible, and that new policies cannot be afforded. More than just a program for change, Atkinson’s book is a voice of hope and informed optimism about the possibilities for political action.

Poverty / Philip N. Jefferson (2018)

Públic ISBD Títol : Poverty : a very short introduction Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Philip N. Jefferson Editorial : Oxford : Oxford University Press Data de publicació : 2018 Nombre de pàgines : 149 p. ll. : il., gràf. Dimensions : 17 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-19-871647-1 Nota general : Inclou índex Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Pobresa Classificació : 00 Economia Resum : No one wants to live in poverty. Few people would want others to do so. Yet, millions of people worldwide live in poverty. According to the World Bank, over 700 million people lived on less than US $2 a day in 2013. Why is that? What has been done about it in the past? And what is being done about it now? In this Very Short Introduction Philip N. Jefferson explores how the answers to these questions lie in the social, political, economic, educational, and technological processes that impact all of us throughout our lives. The degree of vulnerability is all that differentiates us. He shows how a person's level of vulnerability to adverse changes in their life is very much dependent on the circumstances of their birth, including where their family lived, the schools they attended, whether it was peacetime or wartime, whether they had access to clean water, and whether they are male or female. Arguing that whilst poverty is ancient and enduring, the conversation about it is always new and evolving, Jefferson looks at the history of poverty, and the practical and analytical efforts we have made to eradicate it, and the prospects for further poverty alleviation in the future Permalink : https://bibliotecatriasfargas.cat/pmb/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=3 Poverty : a very short introduction [text imprès] / Philip N.

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.

Repensar la pobreza / Abhijit V. Banerjee (cop. 2011)

Públic ISBD Títol : Repensar la pobreza : un giro radical en la lucha contra la desigualdad global Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Abhijit V. Banerjee, Autor ; Esther Duflo, Autor ; F. Javier Mato Díaz, Traductor Editorial : Madrid : Taurus Data de publicació : cop. 2011 Col·lecció : Pensamiento Nombre de pàgines : 372 p. Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-84-306-0903-1 Nota general : Tít. orig.: Poor economics : a radical rethinking of the way to fight global poverty Inclou índex i bibliografia Idioma : Castellà (spa) Idioma original : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Globalització Pobresa Classificació : 02 Globalització Resum : ¿Cómo se vive con menos de un dólar al día? ¿Por qué los microcréditos resultan útiles pero no son el milagro que algunos esperaban? ¿Por qué los pobres dejan pasar las campañas de vacunación gratuita pero pagan por medicinas que a menudo no necesitan? ¿Por qué sus hijos pueden ir a la escuela año tras año y no aprender nada? ¿Por qué no siempre invierten en obtener más calorías, sino calorías que saben mejor? Nuestra tendencia a reducir a los pobres a un conjunto de clichés nos ha impedido hasta ahora comprender los problemas a los que se enfrentan a diario. Dado que poseen tan poco, hemos asumido que no hay nada de interés en su vida económica. Las políticas gubernamentales destinadas a ayudarles muchas veces fracasan porque se fundamentan en suposiciones erradas con respecto a sus circunstancias y su conducta. Repensar la pobreza supone un revolucionario giro en el modo de abordar la lucha global contra la pobreza. Sus autores, dos consagrados economistas del MIT, han acudido directamente a los protagonistas para comprender cómo funciona de verdad la economía de los pobres, cuáles son sus motivaciones y aspiraciones. Los resultados de sus observaciones contradicen muchas de nuestras creencias más arraigadas. El innovador planteamiento de este libro empieza por cambiar las preguntas. A partir de ahí, ofrece las respuestas y, con ellas, un gran potencial transformador y una guía esencial para políticos, activistas y cualquier persona preocupada por construir un mundo sin desigualdad.
