Law and Long-Term Economic Change : A Eurasian Perspective Ed. 1 / Debin MA / STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS (2011)
Titre : Law and Long-Term Economic Change : A Eurasian Perspective Ed. 1 Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Debin MA Editeur : STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS Année de publication : 2011 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780804772730 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Recently, a growing body of work on "law and finance" and "legal origins" has highlighted the role of formal legal institutions in shaping financial institutions. However, these writings have focused largely on Europe, neglecting important non-Western traditions that prevail in a large part of the world. Law and Long-Term Economic Change brings together a group of leading scholars from economics, economic history, law, and area studies to develop a unique, global and, long-term perspective on the linkage between law and economic change. Covering the regions of Western Europe, East and South Asia, and the Middle East, the chapters explore major themes regarding the nature and evolution of different legal regimes; their relationship with the state or organized religion; the definition and interpretation of ownership and property rights; the functioning of courts, and other mechanisms for dispute resolution and contract enforcement; and the complex dynamics of legal transplantations through processes such as colonization. The text makes clear that the development of legal traditions and institutions as embodiments of cultural values and norms exerts a strong effect on long-term economic change. And it demonstrates that a good understanding of legal origins around the world enriches any debate about Great Divergence in the early modern era, as well as development and underdevelopment in 19th-20th century Eurasia.

Titre : Predicting Presidential Elections and Other Things, Second Edition Ed. 2 Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Ray FAIR Editeur : STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS Année de publication : 2011 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780804760492 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : "It's the economy, stupid," as Democratic strategist James Carville would say. After many years of study, Ray C. Fair has found that the state of the economy has a dominant influence on national elections. Just in time for the 2012 presidential election, this new edition of his classic text, Predicting Presidential Elections and Other Things, provides us with a look into the likely future of our nation's political landscape?but Fair doesn't stop there. Fair puts other national issues under the microscope as well?including congressional elections, Federal Reserve behavior, and inflation. In addition he covers topics well beyond today's headlines, as the book takes on questions of more direct, personal interest such as wine quality, predicting football games, and aging effects in baseball. Which of your friends is most likely to have an extramarital affair? How important is class attendance for academic performance in college? How fast can you expect to run a race or perform some physical task at age 55, given your time at age 30? Read Predicting Presidential Elections and Other Things and find out! As Fair works his way through an incredibly broad range of questions and topics, he teaches and delights. The discussion that underlies each chapter topic moves from formulating theories about real world phenomena to lessons on how to analyze data, test theories, and make predictions. At the end of this book, readers will walk away with more than mere predictions. They will have learned a new approach to thinking about many age-old concerns in public and private life, and will have a myriad of fun facts to share.

Titre : Swans, Swine, and Swindlers : Coping with the Growing Threat of Mega-Crises and Mega-Messes Ed. 1 Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Ian MITROFF Editeur : STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS Année de publication : 2011 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780804771375 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Swans, Swine, and Swindlers addresses a core, contemporary question: What steps can we take to better anticipate and manage mega-crises, such as Haiti, Katrina, and 9/11? This book explores the concept of "messes." A mess is a web of complex and dynamically interacting, ill-defined, and/or wicked problems; their solutions; and our conscious and unconscious assumptions, beliefs, emotions, and values. The roots of messes can be classified as Swans (the inability to surface and test false assumptions and mistaken beliefs), Swine (the inability to confront and manage greed, hubris, arrogance, and narcissism), and Swindlers (the inability to confront, detect, and stop unethical and corrupt behavior). Working systematically with this concept and these classifications, authors Can M. Alpaslan and Ian I. Mitroff reveal that all crises are messes; one must learn to understand and manage them as such. They then provide tools and frameworks that readers can use to more effectively deal with the crises of today and tomorrow. Drawing on ideas from research areas as diverse as human development, philosophy, rhetoric, psychology, and high reliability organizations, this book aims to be the definitive guide for a new era in crisis management. Therefore, it is a must-have for practitioners, scholars, and students who study and deal in real-life crises.

Titre : The Cultural Wealth of Nations Ed. 1 Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Nina BANDELJ Editeur : STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS Année de publication : 2011 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780804776448 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Symbolic resources affect social, cultural, and economic development. The value of being "Made in America" or "Made in Italy," for example, depends not only on the material advantages each place offers but also on the symbolic resources embedded in those places of production. Drawing on case studies that range from the vineyards of South Africa and the textiles of Thailand to the Mundo Maya in Latin America and tourist destinations in Tuscany, this volume examines the various forms that cultural wealth takes, the processes involved in its construction, and the ways it is deployed. Leading scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds examine how symbolic resources and cultural understandings help firms and regions develop. Through a thoughtful analysis of current- day cases, as well as historical developments, The Cultural Wealth of Nations offers an exciting new alternative to standard economic explanations about the wealth and poverty of nations.

Titre : The Problem of Distraction Ed. 1 Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Paul NORTH Editeur : STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS Année de publication : 2011 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780804775380 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé :
We live in an age of distraction. Contemporary analyses of culture, politics, techno-science, and psychology insist on this. They often suggest remedies for it, or ways to capitalize on it. Yet they almost never investigate the meaning and history of distraction itself. This book corrects this lack of attention. It inquires into the effects of distraction, defined not as the opposite of attention, but as truly discontinuous intellect. Human being has to be reconceived, according to this argument, not as quintessentially thought-bearing, but as subject to repeated, causeless blackouts of mind.
The Problem of Distraction presents the first genealogy of the concept from Aristotle to the largely forgotten, early twentieth-century efforts by Kafka, Heidegger, and Benjamin to revolutionize the humanities by means of distraction. Further, the book makes the case that our present troubles cannot be solved by recovering or enhancing attention. Not-always-thinking beings are beset by radical breaks in their experience, but in this way they are also receptive to what has not and cannot yet be called experience.Nombre d'accès : Illimité En ligne : http://library.ez.neoma-bs.fr/login?url=https://www.scholarvox.com/book/88866783 Permalink : https://cataloguelibrary.neoma-bs.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=484576 The Roots, Rituals, and Rhetorics of Change : North American Business Schools After the Second World War Ed. 1 / Mie AUGIER / STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS (2011)PermalinkCompanies on a Mission : Entrepreneurial Strategies for Growing Sustainably, Responsibly, and Profitably Ed. 1 / Michael V.
