Título : Truth, Errors, and Lies : Politics and Economics in a Volatile World Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Kolodko, Grzegorz W Número de páginas: 1 online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-231-52156-7 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Etiquetas: Economic development Economic geography Economic history Economic policy Clasificación: 330 Resumen: Grzegorz W. Kolodko, a leading economist and policy reformer, introduces a framework for understanding our global situation that transcends any single discipline or paradigm. Deploying a novel mix of scientific evaluation and personal observation, Kolodko begins with a brief discussion of misinformation and its perpetuation in economics and politics. He also criticizes the simplification of complex economic and social issues, and he investigates the link between developments in the global economy and cultural change, scientific discoveries, and political fluctuations. Underscoring the need for conceptual and theoretical innovation to address our global economic situation, Kolodko offers a provocative study of globalization and the possibility of coming out ahead in an era of worldwide interdependence. Deeply critical of neoliberalism, which advocates that economic control should belong exclusively to the private sector, Kolodko explores the virtues of socioeconomic development and the new rules of the economic game. He concludes with a look at our near and distant futures, questioning whether we have any real say in its making
Rights, Action, and Social Responsibility: Public debates surrounding immigration policy, climate change, international relations, and constitutional and human rights are currently at the forefront of our national discourse. Critical reasoning, supported through academic research is needed. As a result, De Gruyter, along with its partner presses, is making freely available books and journal articles across nine topical areas for all students and faculty. Broadening access to this scholarship enables more people to address these issues in an informed manner: it helps us combat false news sources, to consider the nature of truth and ethics, and to understand the struggles of all members of societyEn línea: https://doi.org/10.7312/kolo15068 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31698 Truth, Errors, and Lies : Politics and Economics in a Volatile World [texto impreso] / Kolodko, Grzegorz W . - [s.d.] . - 1 online resource.

Suffocating smog regularly envelops Chinese metropolises from Beijing to Shanghai, clouding the future prospect of China's growth sustainability. Air pollutants do not discriminate between the rich and the poor, the politician and the "average Joe." They put everyone's health and economic prosperity at risk, creating future costs that are difficult to calculate. Yet many people, including some in China, are concerned that addressing environmental challenges will jeopardize economic growth. In The Economics of Air Pollution in China, leading Chinese economist Ma Jun makes the case that the trade-off between growth and environment is not inevitable. In his ambitious proposal to tackle severe air pollution and drastically reduce the level of so-called PM 2.5 particles?microscopic pollutants that lodge deeply in lungs?Ma Jun argues that in targeting pollution, China has a real opportunity to undertake significant structural economic reforms that would support long-term growth. Rooted in rigorous analyses and evidence-based projections, Ma Jun's "big bang" proposal aims to mitigate pollution and facilitate a transition to a greener and more sustainable growth modelEn línea: https://www.degruyter.com/view/product/485455 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31352 The Economics of Air Pollution in China : Achieving Better and Cleaner Growth [texto impreso] / Ma, Jun . - [s.d.] . - 1 online resource : 54 charts and graphs, 33 tables.

Virtually all large-scale damage to the global environment is caused by economic activities, and the vast majority of economic planners in both business and government coordinate these activities on the basis of guidelines and prescriptions from neoclassical economic theory. In this hard-hitting book, Robert Nadeau demonstrates that the claim that neoclassical economics is a science comparable to the physical sciences is totally bogus and that our failure to recognize and deal with this fact constitutes the greatest single barrier to the timely resolution of the crisis in the global environment. Neoclassical economic theory is premised on the belief that the "invisible hand"-- Adam Smith's metaphor for forces associated with the operation of the "natural laws of economics"--regulates the workings of market economies. Nadeau reveals that Smith's understanding of these laws was predicated on assumptions from eighteenth-century metaphysics and that the creators of neoclassical economics incorporated this view of the "lawful" mechanisms of free-market systems into a mathematical formalism borrowed wholesale from mid-nineteenth-century physics. The strategy used by these economists, all of whom had been trained as engineers, was as simple as it was absurd--they substituted economic variables for the physical variables in the equations of this physics. Strangely enough, this claim was widely accepted and the fact that neoclassical economics originated in a bastardization of mid-nineteenth-century physics was soon forgotten.Nadeau makes a convincing case that the myth that neoclassical economic theory is a science has blindedEn línea: https://doi.org/10.7312/nade12798 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31722 The Wealth of Nature : How Mainstream Economics Has Failed the Environment [texto impreso] / Nadeau, Robert L . - [s.d.] . - 1 online resource.
