Creation and Transfer of Knowledge: Institutions and Incentives book pdf download By Partha Dasgupta

Is knowledge an economic good? Which are the characteristics of the institutions regulating the production and diffusion of knowledge? Cumulation of knowledge is a key determinant of economic growth, but only recently knowledge has moved to the core of economic analysis. Recent literature also gives profound insights into events like scientific progress, artistic and craft development which have been rarely addressed as socio-economic institutions, being the domain of sociologists and historians rather than economists. This volume adopts a multidisciplinary approach to bring knowledge in the focus of attention, as a key economic issue.

About the Author: David Rolfe Graeber is a London-based anthropologist and anarchist activist, perhaps best known for his 2011 volume Debt: The First 5000 Years. He is Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics. As an assistant professor and associate professor of anthropology at Yale from 1998–2007 he specialised in theories of value and social theory. The university’s decision not to rehire him when he would otherwise have become eligible for tenure sparked an academic controversy, and a petition with more than 4,500 signatures. He went on to become, from 2007–13, Reader in Social Anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London. His activism includes protests against the 3rd Summit of the Americas in Quebec City in 2001, and the 2002 World Economic Forum in New York City. Graeber was a leading figure in the Occupy Wall Street movement, and is sometimes credited with having coined the slogan, “We are the 99 percent”.

Debt: The First 5,000 Years book pdf download By David Graeber

Every economics textbook says the same thing: Money was invented to replace onerous and complicated barter systems—to relieve ancient people from having to haul their goods to market. The problem with this version of history? There’s not a shred of evidence to support it. Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. He shows that for more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods—that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors. Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. We are still fighting these battles today without knowing it. Debt: The First 5,000 Years is a fascinating chronicle of this little known history—as well as how it has defined human history, and what it means for the credit crisis of the present day and the future of our economy.

Debito. I primi 5000 anni book pdf download By David Graeber

In uno stile colloquiale e diretto, attraverso l’indagine storica, antropologica, filosofica, teologica, Graeber ribalta la versione tradizionale sulle origini dei mercati. Mostra come l’istituzione del debito sia anteriore alla moneta e come da sempre sia oggetto di aspri conflitti sociali: in Mesopotamia i sovrani dovevano periodicamente rimediare con giubilei alla riduzione in schiavitù per debiti di ampie fasce della popolazione, pena la deflagrazione di tutta la società. Da allora, la nozione di debito si è estesa alla religione come cifra delle relazioni morali (“rimetti a noi i nostri debiti”) e domina i rapporti umani, definendo libertà e asservimento. Mercati e moneta non sorgono automaticamente dal baratto, come sostengono gli economisti fin dai tempi di Adam Smith, ma vengono creati dagli stati, che tassano i sudditi per finanziare le guerre e pagare i soldati. Gli ultimi 5000 anni di storia hanno visto l’alternarsi di fasi di moneta aurea e moneta creditizia, fino al definitivo abbandono dell’oro come base del sistema monetario internazionale nel 1971. Graeber esplora infine la crisi attuale, nata dall’abuso di creazione di strumenti finanziari da parte delle grandi banche deregolamentate, e sostiene la superiorità morale di cittadini e stati indebitati rispetto a creditori corrotti e senza scrupoli che vogliono ridurre libertà e democrazia alla misura dello spread sui titoli pubblici.

Politics and Economy in Jordan book pdf download By Rodney Wilson

Jordan occupies centre stage in both Middle Eastern and Arabic politics, yet the kingdom itself is comparatively under-researched. This volume contains contributions from some of Jordan’s most respected academics in the field of geography, economics and political science. A number of international specialists in Jordan have also made valuable contributions. The work covers important aspects of the Jordanian economic and political scene which have not yet been written about in English. Aspects of Jordan’s consumer society are examined, including the question of foreign aid support, the role of the private sector, and the demand for consumer durables. The economic vulnerability which an open consumer society faces is illustrated in the chapter on the balance of payments and inflation. Despite economic and political problems, it is argued that Jordan has exhibited a certain economic resilience and that a national identity has been successfully fostered.

Economics Ethics and Religion: Jewish, Christian and Muslim Economic Thought book pdf download By Rodney Wilson

There is a revival of interest by economists in ethical issues and beliefs, and by moral philosophers and theologians in economics. This book is intended to make a contribution to this cross-fertilisation of ideas. Rodney Wilson has undertaken an extensive survey of Jewish, Christian and Muslim views on economics, and reviewed the rapidly expanding business ethics literature from a religious perspective. The juxtaposition of the work of theologians and moral philosophers with that of economists results in some interesting comparisons.

Trade and Investment in the Middle East book pdf download By Rodney Wilson

In the last few years the growing significance of the Middle East in the international economy has been highlighted in the financial press, with articles appearing almost daily about massive new trade deals concluded with particular countries. Despite this attention, no comprehensive study has been made of the external economic relations of the region as a whole. It was this gap that prompted the author to write this book, which attempts to analyse recent trends in Middle Eastern trade and investment and to consider their implications, both for the region itself, and for the world at large. The work should also serve to put current developments in historical perspective, by providing background in- formation on import and export trade, as well as on capital move- ments
