The Invisible Hand
Author: Adam Smith
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141963352
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Adam Smith’s landmark treatise on the free market paved the way for modern capitalism, arguing that competition is the engine of a productive society, and that self-interest will eventually come to enrich the whole community, as if by an ‘invisible hand’. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves – and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives – and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

Erasing the Invisible Hand
Author: Warren J. Samuels
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139498355
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
This book examines the use, principally in economics, of the concept of the invisible hand, centering on Adam Smith. It interprets the concept as ideology, knowledge, and a linguistic phenomenon. It shows how the principal Chicago School interpretation misperceives and distorts what Smith believed on the economic role of government. The essays further show how Smith was silent as to his intended meaning, using the term to set minds at rest; how the claim that the invisible hand is the foundational concept of economics is repudiated by numerous leading economic theorists; that several dozen identities given the invisible hand renders the term ambiguous and inconclusive; that no such thing as an invisible hand exists; and that calling something an invisible hand adds nothing to knowledge. Finally, the essays show that the leading doctrines purporting to claim an invisible hand for the case for capitalism cannot invoke the term but that other nonnormative invisible hand processes are still useful tools.

The Invisible Hand
Author: Prince Ami
Publisher: Enlighten89 Book Corp
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
The Invisible Hand gives the reader an in-depth perspective into certain incentives that may be at stake for a person who commits crime, and many of the likely causes which may play a role in their decision to commit crime in the first place. By giving the reader a narrative in which they are able to evaluate for themselves the good, as well as the bad deeds of each and every character, what I have hoped to accomplish is give the reader a concise and fair depiction of some of the factors that might play a motivating role into why a person decides to do good; as well as give an accurate depiction into some of the evil forces that a person might encounter that pushes them to do the things that they shouldn’t! By giving the reader a preponderance of variables to consider, I have invited you all to be apart of this Grand Jury were you will be able to form your own opinions and conclusion based on the overall facts presented about each character inside this story: Is Isaiah a genius who wishes to use his talents to make the world a better place, or is he a self-centered computer whiz who'll do anything to protect what he has created? Is Frank a benevolent leader who wants to see every young child in the world with access to the internet, or a man who would do anything to get his way, including kill? Are Chauncey and Kahlil products of their environments, and if so could change ever be possible for them? This is the weight of the evidence and by the time you’ve reached the conclusion of this book you will have by no doubt made your own opinions. Each character inside this story is a reflection of some of the men and women who've had a prominent role in helping me become the man that I am today. The New Wave is intended to give hope to the kids living in single parent homes, juvenile delinquents, high school drops, and all the people out their that’s really having a hard time and just don’t know how they’re going to get through the day without falling apart. These are Gods people too, they are human just like me and you, and because they have faults it doesn’t mean that they don’t matter, and I know it’s easier to point the finger at them, or to turn your back and simply walk away than to sit down and take the time to understand what might be going on in their minds. But what if it was vice versa, things could always be different and that’s what I’ve hoped to do with The Invisible Hand, by creating a different reality from that of the grim one in which I have come to know. The naming of this book title came to mind for me after several days of thinking. I wanted a title that would not only reflect to the use of technology, but the existence of God and His plans for our lives. I chose The Invisible Hand as the title for this book because I wanted to illustrate how a young boy, living in a single parent home with his mother could use technology to create a change in his own environment, and ultimately go on to use that same technology to make the world a better place for others the world over!

From Iron Fist to Invisible Hand
Author: Irene Wu
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804779805
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
From Iron Fist to Invisible Hand uses telecommunications policy as a window to examine major contradictions in China's growth as an economic and political superpower. While China policy analysts wonder why the government occasionally restrains growth and raises prices, technologists marvel at how the telecommunications industry continues to grow enormously despite constraints and unpredictability in the market. Frustration is pervasive in the business environment, where regulations are constantly changing. This book provides six policy-focused case studies, each centered on a question with implications for telecome stakeholders, such as: Who is the regulator?Who are the regulated? Which foreigners can enter China, thereby regulating wholesale prices, setting consumer prices, and introducing Internet and innovative technologies? These cases explain the government's liberal and conservative approach toward reform, the policies that both promote and constrain business, and the major hurdles that lie ahead in telecommunications reform.

Economics and Modern Warfare
Author: Michael Taillard
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319926934
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
This book demonstrates how economic tools have been used throughout history to accomplish goals of military conflict, how they can be used more effectively than traditional means of warfare in the modern era, and how we can derive a better understanding of economic strategy applicable not just to the military but also to market competition. This new edition includes a thorough updating of chapters on advances in our understanding of economic warfare and more recent examples, such as ISIS’s reliance on obtaining control over oil production facilities, North Korea’s nuclear program, and China’s emphasis on scientific research and technological innovation. This edition also features an entirely new chapter on the commercialization of the conflict over the region of Kashmir.

Theatre Across Borders
Author: Abhishek Majumdar
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 135019526X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Is there a fundamental connection between New York's Elevator Repair Service's 9-hour production of The Great Gatsby and a Kathakali performance? How can we come to appreciate the slowness of Kabuki theatre as much as the pace of the Whatsapp theatre of post-Arab Spring Turkey? Can we go beyond our own culture's contemporary definition of a 'good play' and think about the theatre in a deep and pluralistic manner? Drawing on his extensive experience working with theatre artists, students and thinkers across the globe - up to and including an hour-long audience with the Dalai Lama - playwright Abhishek Majumdar considers why we make theatre and how we see it in different parts of the world. His own work has taken him from theatre in Japan to dance companies in the Phillippines, writers in Lebanon and Palestine, theatre groups in Burkina Faso, war-torn areas like Kashmir and North Eastern India, and to China and Tibet, Argentina and Mexico. Via a far-reaching and provocative collection of essays that is informed by this wealth of experience, Majumdar explores: - how different cultures conceive theatre and how the norm of one place is the experiment of another; - the ways in which theatre across the world mirrors its socio political and philosophical climate; - how, for thousands of years, theatre has been a tool to both disrupt and to heal; - and how, even within the many differences, there are universals from which we can all learn and how theatre does cross borders Of interest to theatre makers everywhere - be they writers, actors, directors or designers - this book offers an oversight, as well as interrogation, into the place of theatre in the world today.
