Book Description
The 1990s were an extraordinary, contradictory, fascinating period of economic development, one evoking numerous historical parallels. But the 1990s are far from being well understood and their meaning for the future remains open to debate. In this volume, world-class economic historians analyze the growth of the world economy, globalization and its implications for domestic and international policy, the sources and sustainability of productivity growth in the USA, the causes of sluggish growth in Europe and Japan, comparisons of the Information Technologies revolution with previous innovation waves, the bubble and burst in asset prices and their impacts on the real economy, the effects of trade and factor mobility on the global distribution of income, and the changes in the welfare state, regulation, and macro-policy making. Leading scholars place the 1990s in a fuller long-run global context, offering insights into what lies ahead for the world economy in the twenty-first century.

Book Description
The book makes a strong and convincing case for a renewed emphasis on human development both to foster economic growth and as an end in itself. Policies for human development enhance the 'capabilities' of people to be and to do things. This book brings together contributions by recognised experts on various aspects of human development - educational policy, health and nutrition, technological capabilities, and the harnessing of local resources - and builds on them to advocate a redirection of policies for the 1990s.

Book Description
Rapid demographic growth will add 600 million people to cities and towns in developing countries during the 1990s, about two-thirds of the expected total population increase. Of the world's 21 megacities, which will expand to have more than 10 million people, 17 will be in developing countries. With urban economic activities making up an increasing share of GDP in all countries, the productivity of the urban economy will heavily influence economic growth. This paper analyzes the fiscal, financial, and real sector linkages between urban economic activities andmacroeconomic performance. It builds on this analysis to propose a policy framework and strategy that willredefine the urban challenge in developing countries. ISBN10: 0-8213-1816-0 ISBN13: 978-0-8213-1816-4

Book Description
Of the ten economic expansions in the post-World War II era, three have been especially long: 1961-1969, 1982-1990, and 1991-2000. This study compares these three expansions in areas such as GDP growth, gross and net investment, growth and productivity of the labour force, the fiscal position of the federal government, and inflation. Such a comparison can provide perspective and insight into a number of perceived problems. Given the current economic turbulence we are facing, this book will serve as an important tool in studying the market cycle.

Book Description
The performance of the U.S. economy in the 1990s far outstripped expectations. Growth was surprisingly strong, unemployment fell to the lowest level in a generation, and yet inflation remained dormant. Alan S. Blinder and Janet L. Yellen have written the first comprehensive analytical history of this important period.
