Titre : Welfare and capitalism in postwar Japan Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Margarita Estévez-Abe, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom Année de publication : 2008 Importance : xv, 340 pages Présentation : ill Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-72221-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : 300 Sciences sociales:330 Economie Index. décimale : 330.952 Résumé : This book explains how postwar Japan managed to achieve a highly egalitarian form of capitalism despite meager social spending. Estevez-Abe develops an institutional, rational-choice model to solve this puzzle. She shows how Japan's electoral system generated incentives that led political actors to protect various groups that lost out in market competition. She explains how Japan's postwar welfare state relied upon various alternatives to orthodox social spending programs. The initial postwar success of Japan's political economy has given way to periods of crisis and reform. This book follows this story up to the present day. Estevez-Abe shows how the current electoral system renders obsolete the old form of social protection. She argues that institutionally Japan now resembles Britain and predicts that Japan's welfare system will also come to resemble Britain's. Japan thus faces a more market-oriented society and less equality Welfare and capitalism in postwar Japan [texte imprimé] / Margarita Estévez-Abe, Auteur . - [S.l.] : Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 2008 . - xv, 340 pages : ill ; 24 cm.

Titre : What would the great economists do? : how twelve brilliant minds would solve today's biggest problems Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Linda Y.

Most of them have won the Nobel Prize. All of them have had lasting impact on both the development of the discipline and how public policy has been and continues to be shaped. But Dr. Yueh goes a step further: In accessible and clear prose, she will explain the impact their respective research has on combating today's great economic problems. For example, she will ask: Milton Friedman, are central banks doing too much? Friedrich Hayek, can financial crashes be prevented? Douglass North, why are so few countries rich? After years of experience providing economic literacy to the public through podcasts, documentaries, lectures, and television programs, Dr. Yueh will bring that wealth of expertise to the page in her first trade book for a general reader. The Great Economists offers a concise history of modern economics, the trailblazing men and women who developed the field, and, more fundamentally, how their findings would solve everything from global inequality to what drives innovation. Economists included (in chronological order): Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, Alfred Marshall, Irving Fisher, John Maynard Keynes, Joseph Schumpeter, Friedrich Hayek, Joan Robinson, Milton Friedman, Douglass North, and Robert Solow"-- Provided by publisher What would the great economists do? : how twelve brilliant minds would solve today's biggest problems [texte imprimé] / Linda Y.
