Summary: In this important book, William J. Baumol, Robert E. Litan, and Carl J. Schramm contend that the answers to these questions lie within capitalist economies, though many observers make the mistake of believing that "capitalism" is of a single kind. Writing in an accessible style, the authors dispel that myth, documenting four different varieties of capitalism, some "Good" and some "Bad" for growth. The authors identify the conditions that characterize Good Capitalism--the right blend of entrepreneurial and established firms, which can vary among countries--as well as the features of Bad Capitalism. They examine how countries catching up to the United States can move faster toward the economic frontier, while laying out the need for the United States itself to stick to and reinforce the recipe for growth that has enabled it to be the leading economic force in the world. This pathb
NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER • From two winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, “who have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for a country’s prosperity” “A wildly ambitious work that hopscotches through history and around the world to answer the very big question of why some countries get rich and others don’t.”—The New York Times FINALIST: Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Financial Times, The Economist, BusinessWeek, Bloomberg, The Christian Science Monitor, The Plain Dealer Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine?

From one of our shrewdest economic trend-spotters, a wake-up call that prosperity is about to shift from the West to the East, and what we can do before it’s too late Titel: Three billion new capitalists : the great shift of wealth and power to the East Udgave: 1. udgave Genre: historie_samfund Sammendrag: Clyde Prestowitz beskriver, hvordan globaliseringen og fremvæksten af markedsøkonomier i Asien og tidligere planøkonomier har tilført verdensøkonomien omkring tre milliarder nye kapitalister. Han analyserer, hvordan denne udvikling ændrer magtbalancen mellem USA/Europa og lande som Kina og Indien. Bogen gennemgår de økonomiske, industrielle og politiske drivkræfter bag væksten i Østen, og hvordan outsourcing, handelspolitik og teknologisk udvikling udfordrer USA’s traditionelle økonomiske dominans. Prestowitz argumenterer for, at USA og Vesten må gentænke deres økonomiske strategi og f
Forget the 1 per cent- it's time to focus on the wealthiest 0.1 per cent who are outpacing the rest of use at breakneck speed. There has always been a gap between rich and poor, but over the last few decades what it means to be rich has changed dramatically. What's changed is more than numbers. Instead of inheritance, today's colossal fortunes have been amassed by a new transglobal class of self-made oligarchs. But who are they and how did they do it - and as the chasm between the super-rich and everyone else deepens, is there anything we can do about it? Cracking open this tight-knit world is Chrystia Freeland. From Davos to Dubai, she has reported on these new super elites for the last two decade. Grounding her interviews in the economics and history of modern capitalism, Freeland shows us the new wealth and its consequences- whether it's the internal Citigroup memo that urges clients
Summary: Examines how the wealthy classes have contributed to growing inequality in society and explains how the quest to increase wealth has hindered the country's economic growth as well as its efforts to solve its most pressing economic problems Titel: The Price of Inequality Udgave: 1. udgave Genre: erhverv_oekonomi_ledelse Sammendrag: Joseph E. Stiglitz viser, hvordan stigende økonomisk ulighed underminerer vækst, svækker demokratiet og forvrider den offentlige debat.

Han præsenterer samtidig konkrete bud på reformer, der kan mindske uligheden og styrke både økonomi og samfund. Type: Hardcover
