In "The Genuine Article" Paul Gilmore examines the interdependence of literary and mass culture at a crucial moment in U S history Demonstrating from a new perspective the centrality of race to the construction of white manhood across class lines, Gilmore argues that in the years before the Civil War, as literature increasingly became ожбна another commodity in the capitalist cultural marketplace, American authors appropriated middle-brow and racially loaded cultural forms to bolster their masculinity From characters in Indian melodramas and minstrel shows to exhibits in popular museums and daguerreotype galleries, primitive racialized figures circulated as "the genuine article" of manliness in the antebellum United States Gilmore argues that these figures were manipulated, translated, and adopted not only by canonical authors such as Hawthorne, Thoreau, Cooper, and Melville but also by African American and Native American writers like William Wells Brown and Okah Tubbee By examining how these cultural notions of race played out in literary texts and helped to construct authorship as a masculine profession, Gilmore makes a unique contribution to theories of class formation in nineteenth-century America Формат: 15,5 см x 23,5 см Автор Paul Gilmore.  Издательство: Duke University Press, 2001 г Мягкая обложка, 288 стр ISBN 0-8223-2764-3 Язык: Английский.

The concept of fair division is as old as civil society itself Aristotle's "equal treatment of equals" was the first step toward a formal definition of distributive fairness The concept of collective welfare, more than two centuries old, is a pillar ofmodern economic analysis Reflecting fifty years of research, this book examines ожбнэ the contribution of modern microeconomic thinking to distributive justice Taking the modern axiomatic approach, it compares normative arguments of distributive justice and their relation to efficiency and collective welfare The book begins with the epistemological status of the axiomatic approach and the four classic principles of distributive justice: compensation, reward, exogenous rights, and fitness It then presents the simple ideas of equal gains, equal losses, and proportional gains and losses The book discusses three cardinal interpretations of collective welfare: Bentham's "utilitarian" proposal to maximize the sum of individual utilities, the Nash product, and the egalitarian leximin ordering It also discusses the two main ordinal definitions of collective welfare: the majority relation and the Borda scoring method The Shapley value is the single most important contribution of game theory to distributive justice A formula to divide jointly produced costs or benefits fairly, it is especially useful when the pattern of externalities renders useless the simple ideas of equality and proportionality The book ends with two versatile methods for dividing commodities efficiently and fairly when only ordinal preferences matter: competitive equilibrium with equal incomes and egalitarian equivalence The book contains a wealth of empirical examples and exercises.  ISBN 0262134233.

A groundbreaking business book for the twenty-first century, The New Law of Demand and Supply overturns the traditional supply-side approach to how business is done, showing why a demand-based approach is essential to success in today’s economy For more than two hundred years, companies have based their approach to business on supply-side ожбих economics, concentrating on creating products and services and then attempting, through marketing, publicity, distribution and promotion tostimulate a demand for them While most companies have factored in customer feedback, focus groups, and broad-based market research, their basic approach has remained the same And it is a mistake In The New Law of Demand and Supply, Cambridge Group CEO Rick Kash argues that in order to succeed in today’s market, companies must reverse their approach by first determining what current and emerging demand exists and then by creating products and services to meet that demand Fora host of reasons–from the reduced life cycles of products and services, to deregulation, to increased competition as a result of globalization, to the ability of customers to compare prices and values at a keystroke–the market, Kash argues, has fundamentally and permanently changed from one that is driven by supply to one that is driven by demand Traditional businesses that remain locked in a supply-side mentality are doomed to failure Today’s most successful companies, from McDonald’s to IBM, from EMC to Pepsi-Cola, use the principles of demand strategy to first understand all the factors that go into creating demand in their targeted markets, as well as what their emerging needs will be in the future In the heart of the book, Kash outlines a specific six-step demand strategy on how to implement a demand-first approach–from homing in on who your most profitable customers are to determining what needs they have (whether articulated or not) that are not currently being addressed Using that information, companies can create unique products that are differentiated from their competitors’ to meet those demands Rather than being forced to compete on price, they can trump the competition by competing on value,offering the options, features, products, and services that better meet an existing demand As a result, companies often can actually charge more for what they produce and improve their margins Diving under the hoods of a score of successful Fortune 500companies that have made demand strategy central to the way they do business, including Gatorade, Capital One, Sara Lee, and Sears, Kash details how these companies have used this strategy to re-create their businesses Ten years ago, Reengineering the Corporation brought about a sea change in the way companies were run Now, The New Law of Demand and Supply redefines the ground rules of today’s economy and gives managers the tools they need to outperform the competition and achieve dramatic growth and profits.  ISBN 0385504322.

The "Argentine disappointment"--why Argentina persistently failed to achieve sustained economic stability during the twentieth century--is an issue that has mystified scholars for decades In Straining the Anchor, Gerardo della Paolera and Alan M Taylor provide many of the missing links that help explain this important historical ожбйо episode Written chronologically, this book follows the various fluctuations of the Argentine economy from its postrevolutionary volatility to a period of unprecedented prosperity to a dramatic decline from which the country has never fully recovered The authors examine in depth the solutions that Argentina has tried to implement such as the Caja de Conversión, the nation's first currency board which favored a strict gold-standard monetary regime, the forerunner of the convertibility plan the nation has recently adopted With many countries now using--or seriously contemplating--monetary arrangements similar to Argentina's, this important and persuasive study maps out one of history's most interesting monetary experiments to show what works and what doesn't.  ISBN 0226645568.

According to Philip Parker, the relationship between physics-based physiology and macroeconomics may come to dominate explanations of economic growth His argument focuses on the so-called equatorial paradox--the phenomenon that a country's latitude explains up to 70 percent of cross-country variances in per capita income After introducing ожбйц concepts from physics and physiology as the building blocks of homeostatic utility, he explains the role of homeostatic utility in economic growth Specifically, he shows that a country's performance is gauged not by its absolute level of income or consumption, but by how far it is from a homeostatic steady state governed by what he calls physioeconomics Countries closer to their homeostatic steady state grow more slowly than those farther away Parker shows how factors such as income, aggregate savings, investment, technology, entrepreneurship, production, and outputs per worker are influenced by the more fundamental principles of physics and physiology He focuses particularly on the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that drives motivation, monitors homeostasis, and ultimately keeps us alive via neural, autonomic, and hormonal adjustments He presents evidence that long-run growth can be attributed to variances in hypothalmic activity A physioeconomic approach to growth can lead to better economic policies, measures of performance, and predictions of progress To take just one example, policymakers would be quicker to realize that food aid to warmer regions can destroy local farming economies that supply adequate caloric needs at a lower steady state.  ISBN 026216194X.

For many years it was fashionable to treat macroeconomics and microeconomics as separate subjects without looking too deeply at the relationship between the two But in the 1970s there occurred an episode of high inflation and high unemployment, which was inconsistent with orthodox theory As a result, macroeconomists began to pay much greater ожбкс attention to the microfoundations of their subject In this book Roger E A Farmer takes a somewhat controversial point of view, arguing for the future of macroeconomics as a branch of applied general equilibrium theory His main theme is that macroeconomics is best viewed as the study of equilibrium environments in which the welfare theorems break down This approach makes it possible to discuss therole of government policies in a context in which policy may serve some purpose Since the publication of the first edition in 1993, self-fulfilling prophecies has become a major competitor to the real business-cycle view of economic fluctuations The second edition has been updated in three ways: (1) problems are included at the end of every chapter, and a study guide containing sample answers to all of the problems is available; (2) a new chapter discusses research from the past five years on business fluctuations in multisector models; and (3) the chapter on representative agent growth models now includes an appendix that explains the transversality condition.  ISBN 0262062038.

Book DescriptionWhat does a pack of cigarettes cost a smoker, the smoker's family, and society? This longitudinal study on the private and social costs of smoking calculates that the cost of smoking to a 24-year-old woman smoker is $86,000 over a lifetime; for a 24-year-old male smoker the cost is $183,000 The total social cost of smoking over a lifetime ожбме -- including both private costs to the smoker and costs imposed on others (including second-hand smoke and costs of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security) -- comes to $106,000 for a woman and $220,00 for a man The cost per pack over a lifetime of smoking: almost $40 00 The first study to quantify the cost of smoking in this way, or in such depth, this accessible book not only adds a weapon to the arsenal of antismoking messages but also provides a framework for assessment that can be applied to other health behaviors The findings on the effects of smoking on Medicare and Medicaid will be surprising and perhaps controversial, for the authors estimate the costs to be much lower than the damage awards being paid to 46 states as a result of the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement.  2004 г ISBN 0262195100.
