Money and Capital in Economic Development
Author: Ronald I. McKinnonPublisher: Brookings Institution Press
ISBN: 9780815718499
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
This books presents a theory of economic development very different from the "stages of growth" hypothesis or strategies emphasizing foreign aid, trade, or regional association. Leaving these aside, the author breaks new ground by focusing on the use of domestic capital markets to stimulate economic performance. He suggests a "bootstrap" approach in which successful development would depend largely on policy choices made by national authorities in the developing countries themselves. Central to his theory is the freeing of domestic financial markets to allow interest rates to reflect the true scarcity of capital in a developing economy. His analysis leads to a critique of prevailing monetary theory and to a new view of the relation between money and physical capital—a view with policy implications for governments striving to overcome the vicious circle of inflation and stagnation. Examining the performance of South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, and other countries, the author suggests that their success or failure has depended primarily on steps taken in the monetary sector. He concludes that monetary reform should take precedence over other development measures, such as tariff and tax reform or the encouragement of foreign capital investment. In addition to challenging much of the conventional wisdom of development, the author's revision of accepted monetary theory may be relevant for mature economies that face monetary problems.
Labor, capital and money; their just relations. An exposition of economic error which perverts public sentiment, controls legislation, bars just enactments, produces needless strife between labor and capital, idleness and poverty amid abundance, causes unjust distribution of wealth, business depressions and panics, and saps the foundation of all government

Book Description
Excerpt from Labor, Capital and Money: Their Just Relations This work is the outgrowth of a presentiment of the coming of the industrial struggle which now forces itself upon the attention of society. For years there has grown upon me the conviction that an unseen evil influence was gathering a pressure and power, which, sweeping in a great cycle, would sooner or later engulf civilization, unless discovered and eradicated. I determined to sift political economy to the bottom in order to aid, if possible, in the accomplishment of this object. In this investigation I found radical errors in the groundwork, and from thence pervading every part of political science, as previously promulgated. By correcting these errors I have laid up one stone of truth upon another, not heeding where the truth might lead, until in a complete explanation of existing conditions it is presented to the reader. The result is as much a surprise to me as it can be to any other person. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Money and Totality
Author: Fred MoseleyPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004301933
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
This ambitious book presents a comprehensive new 'macro-monetary' interpretation of Marx’s logical method in Capital, based on substantial textual evidence, which emphasises two main points: (1) Marx’s theory is primarily a macroeconomic theory of the total surplus-value produced in the economy as a whole; and (2) Marx’s theory is a monetary theory from beginning to end and the circuit of money capital – M - C - M’ – is the logical framework of Marx’s theory. It follows from this 'macro-monetary' interpretation that, contrary to the prevailing view, there is no 'transformation problem' in Marx’s theory; i.e., Marx did not 'fail to transform the inputs of constant capital and variable capital' in his theory of prices of production in Part 2 of Volume III.

Book Description
The lead essay by Barbara and John Ehrenreich opens the debate about the nature of the "middle class." Do those who work between labor and capital constitute a third class, or will different sectors tend to ally with either the working class or the capitalist class, or is a whole new conception of the dynamics of social change necessary?

The Meritocracy Trap
Author: Daniel MarkovitsPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0735222010
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
A revolutionary new argument from eminent Yale Law professor Daniel Markovits attacking the false promise of meritocracy It is an axiom of American life that advantage should be earned through ability and effort. Even as the country divides itself at every turn, the meritocratic ideal – that social and economic rewards should follow achievement rather than breeding – reigns supreme. Both Democrats and Republicans insistently repeat meritocratic notions. Meritocracy cuts to the heart of who we are. It sustains the American dream. But what if, both up and down the social ladder, meritocracy is a sham? Today, meritocracy has become exactly what it was conceived to resist: a mechanism for the concentration and dynastic transmission of wealth and privilege across generations. Upward mobility has become a fantasy, and the embattled middle classes are now more likely to sink into the working poor than to rise into the professional elite. At the same time, meritocracy now ensnares even those who manage to claw their way to the top, requiring rich adults to work with crushing intensity, exploiting their expensive educations in order to extract a return. All this is not the result of deviations or retreats from meritocracy but rather stems directly from meritocracy’s successes. This is the radical argument that Daniel Markovits prosecutes with rare force. Markovits is well placed to expose the sham of meritocracy. Having spent his life at elite universities, he knows from the inside the corrosive system we are trapped within. Markovits also knows that, if we understand that meritocratic inequality produces near-universal harm, we can cure it. When The Meritocracy Trap reveals the inner workings of the meritocratic machine, it also illuminates the first steps outward, towards a new world that might once again afford dignity and prosperity to the American people.
