China goes global / David L. Shambaugh (cop. 2013)

Públic ISBD Títol : China goes global : the partial power Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : David L. Shambaugh, Autor Editorial : New York : Oxford University Press Data de publicació : cop. 2013 Nombre de pàgines : xvi, 409 p. Dimensions : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-19-986014-2 Nota general : Inclou índex i bibliografia Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Xina -- Globalització Xina -- Política econòmica Xina -- Relacions econòmiques exteriors Classificació : 02 Globalització Resum : "Most global citizens are well aware of the explosive growth of the Chinese economy. Indeed, China has famously become the "workshop of the world." Yet, while China watchers have shed much light on the country's internal dynamics--China's politics, its vast social changes, and its economic development--few have focused on how this increasingly powerful nation has become more active and assertive throughout the world. In China Goes Global, eminent China scholar David Shambaugh delivers the book that the world has been waiting for--a sweeping account of China's growing prominence on the international stage. Thirty years ago, China's role in global affairs beyond its immediate East Asian periphery was decidedly minor and it had little geostrategic power. As Shambaugh charts, though, China's expanding economic power has allowed it to extend its reach virtually everywhere--from mineral mines in Africa, to currency markets in the West, to oilfields in the Middle East, to agribusiness in Latin America, to the factories of East Asia. Shambaugh offers an enlightening look into the manifestations of China's global ambitions: its extensive commercial footprint, its growing military power, its increasing cultural influence or "soft power," its diplomatic activity, and its new prominence in global governance institutions. But Shambaugh is no alarmist. In this balanced and well-researched volume, he argues that China's global presence is more broad than deep and that China still lacks the influence befitting a major world power--what he terms a "partial power." He draws on his decades of China-watching and his deep knowledge of the subject, and exploits a wide variety of previously untapped sources, to shed valuable light on China's current and future roles in world affairs" Vista prèvia a Google Books : http://books.google.es/books?id=ZUhhLwg85YEC&lpg=PP1&hl=es&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false Permalink : https://bibliotecatriasfargas.cat/pmb/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=2 China goes global : the partial power [text imprès] / David L.

Wrong / Richard S. Grossman (cop. 2013)

Públic ISBD Títol : Wrong : nine economic policy disasters and what we can learn from them Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Richard S. Grossman, Autor Editorial : New York : Oxford University Press Data de publicació : cop. 2013 Nombre de pàgines : xxi, 266 p. Dimensions : 22 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-19-932219-0 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Crisis financeres -- Casos, Estudis de Política econòmica -- Casos, Estudis de Classificació : 03 Economia política Resum : In recent years, the world has been rocked by major economic crises, most notably the devastating collapse of Lehman Brothers, the largest bankruptcy in American history, which triggered the breathtakingly destructive sub-prime disaster. What sparks these vast economic calamities? Why do our economic policy makers fail to protect us from such upheavals? In Wrong, economist Richard Grossman addresses such questions, shining a light on the poor thinking behind nine of the worst economic policy mistakes of the past 200 years, missteps whose outcomes ranged from appalling to tragic. Grossman tells the story behind each misconceived economic move, explaining why the policy was adopted, how it was implemented, and its short- and long-term consequences. In each case, he shows that the main culprits were policy makers who were guided by ideology rather than economics. For instance, Wrong looks at how America's unfounded fear of a centralized monetary authority caused them to reject two central banks, condemning the nation to wave after wave of financial panics. He describes how Britain's blind commitment to free markets, rather than to assisting the starving in Ireland, led to one of the nineteenth century's worst humanitarian tragedies- the Irish famine. And he shows how Britain's reestablishment of the gold standard after World War I, fuelled largely by a desire to recapture its pre-war dominance, helped to turn what would otherwise have been a normal recession into the Great Depression. Grossman also explores the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930, Japan's lost decade of the 1990s, the American subprime crisis, and the present European sovereign debt crisis. Economic policy should be based on cold, hard economic analysis, Grossman concludes, not on an unquestioning commitment to a particular ideology. Wrong shows what happens when this sensible advice is ignored.

Finance and financial intermediation / Cole, Harold (2019)

Públic ISBD Títol : Finance and financial intermediation : A modern treatment of money, credit, and banking Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Cole, Harold, Autor Editorial : New York : Oxford University Press Data de publicació : 2019 Nombre de pàgines : 304 p. ll. : il, gràf. Dimensions : 26 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-19-094170-3 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Finances Classificació : 8 Finances empresarials i comptabilitat Resum : The financial system is a densely interconnected network of financial intermediaries, facilitators, and markets that serves three major purposes: allocating capital, sharing risks, and facilitating intertemporal trade. Asset prices are an important mechanism in each of these phenomena. Capital allocation, whether through loans or other forms of investment, can vary both across sectors-at the broadest, manufactures, agriculture, and services-and within sectors, for example different firms. The risk that various investors are willing to take reflects their financial position and alternative opportunities. Risk and asset allocation are also influenced by whether money, and especially its expenditure, is more important now or in the future. These decisions are all influenced by governmental policies. When there are mismatches, the results include financial meltdowns, fiscal deficits, sovereign debt, default and debt crises. Harold L. Cole provides a broad overview of the financial system and assets pricing, covering history, institutional detail, and theory. The book begins with an overview of financial markets and their operation and then covers asset pricing for standard assets and derivatives, and analyzes what modern finance says about firm behavior and capital structure. It then examines theories of money, exchange rates, electronic payments methods, and cryptocurrencies. After exploring banks and other forms of financial intermediation, the book examines the role they played in the Great Recession. Having provided an overview of the provate sector, Cole switches to public finance and government borrowing as well as the incentives to monetize the public debt and its consequences. The book closes with an examination of sovereign debt crises and an analysis of their various forms. Finance and financial intermediation are central to modern economies. This book covers all of the material a sophisticated economist needs to know about this area.
