Investment and Risk in Africa book pdf download By Paul M. Collier

This book brings together academics in the fields of economics, political science, and law, with business practitioners in the fields of risk assessment and portfolio management. Their contributions are sequenced to tell a story. Africa is perceived as being a highly risky continent. As a result, investment is discouraged. These risks are partly exaggerated. However, to the extent that they reflect genuine problems, they are capable of being mitigated by insurance and reduced by political restraints such as central banks, investment charters, and international agreements.

Exodus: How Migration is Changing Our World book pdf download By Paul M. Collier

It is one of the most pressing and controversial questions of our time — vehemently debated, steeped in ideology, profoundly divisive. Who should be allowed to immigrate and who not? What are the arguments for and against limiting the numbers? We are supposedly a nation of immigrants, and yet our policies reflect deep anxieties and the quirks of short-term self-interest, with effective legislation snagging on thousand-mile-long security fences and the question of how long and arduous the path to citizenship should be. In Exodus, Paul Collier, the world-renowned economist and bestselling author of The Bottom Billion, clearly and concisely lays out the effects of encouraging or restricting migration. Drawing on original research and case studies, he explores this volatile issue from three perspectives: that of the migrants themselves, that of the people they leave behind, and that of the host societies where they relocate. Immigration is a simple economic equation, but its effects are complex. Exodus confirms how crucial it will be that public policy face and address all of its ramifications. Sharply written and brilliantly clarifying, Exodus offers a provocative analysis of an issue that affects us all.

Il futuro del capitalismo book pdf download By Paul M. Collier

«Il più rivoluzionario contributo nel campo delle scienze sociali dopo Keynes» George A. Akerlof, Premio Nobel 2001 Uno dei più autorevoli economisti del panorama scientifico mondiale riflette sui fallimenti del capitalismo con una proposta pragmatica in grado di correggerne i difetti. A partire da un assunto fondamentale: oltre che produrre profitti e lavoro, per funzionare il capitalismo deve essere necessariamente etico. «In questo coraggioso lavoro, Paul Collier si avventura nel territorio dell’etica per spiegare cosa c’è di sbagliato nel capitalismo e come può essere corretto.» Michael Sandel Nuove e profonde contrapposizioni lacerano il tessuto sociale delle società occidentali: grandi città contro province povere, élite altamente specializzate contro masse di lavoratori poco qualificati, paesi ricchi contro paesi poveri. Queste lacerazioni generano nuove ansie, nuova rabbia e nuove passioni politiche, come testimonia l’ondata di consensi ricevuti dai populisti di tutto il mondo, da Trump al partito della Brexit, sino all’estrema destra italiana. In questo libro appassionato e polemico, Paul Collier, uno dei maggiori esperti mondiali su povertà e migrazioni, prova a delineare i percorsi attraverso i quali superare queste nuove fratture economiche, sociali e culturali. Solo se il capitalismo riesce a darsi un fondamento etico tale da rendersi equo e compassionevole, e non solo efficiente ed economicamente fiorente, potrà garantire una vita degna. Un capitalismo in cui la dignità e la reciprocità prevalgano sull’aggressività, sulla paura e sull’umiliazione, caratteri tipici della nostra ‘società dei rottweiler’.

Zambia: Building Prosperity from Resource Wealth book pdf download By Paul M. Collier

Zambia is a landlocked mineral dependent country in Southern Africa whose history is intimately entwined with the copper mining industry. Having gained Independence from Britain in 1964 at the height of a copper boom, the country experienced a slow and painful economic decline over the next quarter century. However, following a traumatic and protracted process of economic adjustment through the 1990s and early 2000s, Zambia’s economic potential is now better than it has been at any time since Independence. This book, which contains a set of rigorous but accessible essays by a range of Zambian and international scholars, seeks to examine the challenges and opportunities that currently face Zambian policymakers as they seek to harness the country’s valuable natural assets to broad-based and sustainable economic growth over the coming decades. Written in a non-technical manner by leading scholars in the field, the chapters address key challenges in the areas of natural resource management, agriculture, trade, employment and migration, education, finance, and investment. This is the second volume in the Africa: Policies for Prosperity series following on from the successful first volume on Kenya.

Refuge: Rethinking Refugee Policy in a Changing World book pdf download By Paul M. Collier

Global refugee numbers are at their highest levels since the end of World War II, but the system in place to deal with them, based upon a humanitarian list of imagined “basic needs,” has changed little. InRefuge, Paul Collier and Alexander Betts argue that the system fails to provide a comprehensive solution to the fundamental problem, which is how to reintegrate displaced people into society. Western countries deliver food, clothing, and shelter to refugee camps, but these sites, usually located in remote border locations, can make things worse. The numbers are stark: the average length of stay in a refugee camp worldwide is 17 years. Into this situation comes the Syria crisis, which has dislocated countless families, bringing them to face an impossible choice: huddle in dangerous urban desolation, rot in dilapidated camps, or flee across the Mediterranean to increasingly unwelcoming governments. Refugeseeks to restore moral purpose and clarity to refugee policy. Rather than assuming indefinite dependency, Collier-author ofThe Bottom Billion-and his Oxford colleague Betts propose a humanitarian approach integrated with a new economic agenda that begins with jobs, restores autonomy, and rebuilds people’s ability to help themselves and their societies. Timely and urgent, the book goes beyond decrying scenes of desperation to declare what so many people, policymakers and public alike, are anxious to hear: that a long-term solution really is within reach.

The Future of Capitalism: Facing the New Anxieties book pdf download By Paul M. Collier

From world-renowned economist Paul Collier, a candid diagnosis of the failures of capitalism and a pragmatic and realistic vision for how we can repair it. Deep new rifts are tearing apart the fabric of the United States and other Western societies: thriving cities versus rural counties, the highly skilled elite versus the less educated, wealthy versus developing countries. As these divides deepen, we have lost the sense of ethical obligation to others that was crucial to the rise of post-war social democracy. So far these rifts have been answered only by the revivalist ideologies of populism and socialism, leading to the seismic upheavals of Trump, Brexit, and the return of the far-right in Germany. We have heard many critiques of capitalism but no one has laid out a realistic way to fix it, until now. In a passionate and polemical book, celebrated economist Paul Collier outlines brilliantly original and ethical ways of healing these rifts—economic, social and cultural—with the cool head of pragmatism, rather than the fervor of ideological revivalism. He reveals how he has personally lived across these three divides, moving from working-class Sheffield to hyper-competitive Oxford, and working between Britain and Africa, and acknowledges some of the failings of his profession. Drawing on his own solutions as well as ideas from some of the world’s most distinguished social scientists, he shows us how to save capitalism from itself—and free ourselves from the intellectual baggage of the twentieth century.

Socialist Humanism an International Symposium book pdf download By Eric Fromm

For several years afterwards, this volume was the only widely circulated book on socialism in the US. It comprised essays by some thirty-five noted intellectuals, among them over a dozen from within Eastern Europe, most of them philosophical dissidents, but also a few who hewed more towards the party line. The more dissident Marxist humanists included several who would become prominent in the upheavals of the 1960s in the Eastern bloc, most notably the Prague Spring of 1968. Among the intellectuals from what was then Czechoslovakia were the Marxist humanists Karel Kosík and Ivan Svitak, while Poland was represented by Bronislaw Baczko as well as the more pro-party Adam Schaff, a personal friend of Fromm. What was then Yugoslavia had a particularly large representation, with a number of figures from the dissident philosophers of the Praxis group, among them Mihailo Markovic, Gajo Petrovic and Rudi Supek. From Western Europe, North America and Australia the volume drew upon Marxist philosophers like Marcuse, Dunayevskaya, Goldmann, Ernst Bloch and Eugene Kamenka. As Fromm himself acknowledged in his introduction to the volume, it lacked representation from the Third World.
