Book Description
The three essays are the result of my research into the origins of economic thought and entrepreneurship. In undertaking this work, I found out more about the role economic action - in which I have taken an active part since fifty -years - plays in determining the prosperity of a society. I was moved by four questions, in particular: - Why is property a necessity? - Skills and emancipation of individuals - Behaviour and organisation of groups - How can socialism work? Action should be influenced by ethical foundations of economics und business. Important principles include responsibility, efficiency and subsidiarity. Coupled with the principle of freedom and the pursuit of technical progress, their implementation can lead a competing community to great prosperity, which then helps to solve the social problem of underprivileged minorities through self-help. The book begins by investigating the spiritual and economic conditions that paved the way for the industrial revolution in the High Middle Ages. The next section demonstrates that no wealth can be achieved without legal certainty. This is followed by an account of the agricultural region of Catalonia at the Mediterranean foot of the Pyrenees, which opened up to the world around the year 1000 and proceeded to gain a modest degree of prosperity. An economy that spanned Christianity and Islam shows signs of globalisation.

Book Description
Chapter I investigates how the fertility, marriage and labor supply decisions of American women changed between 1870 and 1930. The proposed explanation for the historical trends in marriage and labor market behavior is based on the premise that gradual improvements in technology drew single women into the labor market in increasing numbers. The opportunity to earn own income and make their own consumption and dating decisions strengthened young women's bargaining position on the marriage market which subsequently affected other areas of life: timing of marriage, marital fertility, labor supply in marriage and intra-household resource allocation. Chapters II and III look at the developments and changes in the living standards under early Communism in Czechoslovakia. A newly collected sample of anthropometric evidence sheds light on the underlying trends in biological welfare and the extent on inequalities. As non-economic indicators of living standards, heights and weight of adolescent boys from the schools in Liberec show that living standards were increasing during the 1950s and early 1960s but were not immune to fluctuations due to business cycle. Also, differences in living standards between different strata of the society seem to have persisted in spite of strong pro-egalitarian policies of the Communist government. Moreover, the nature of short-term growth of the Liberec boys (the seasonal cycle) indicates that the supply of crucial nutrients was perhaps irregular and erratic, particularly during the spring months.

Book Description
This book seeks to identify the forces which explain how and why some parts of the world have grown rich and others have lagged behind. Encompassing 2000 years of history, part 1 begins with the Roman Empire and explores the key factors that have influenced economic development in Africa,Asia, the Americas and Europe. Part 2 covers the development of macroeconomic tools of analysis from the 17th century to the present. Part 3 looks to the future and considers what the shape of the world economy might be in 2030. Combining both the close quantitative analysis for which ProfessorMaddison is famous with a more qualitative approach that takes into account the complexity of the forces at work, this book provides students and all interested readers with a totally fascinating overview of world economic history. Professor Maddison has the unique ability to synthesise vast amountsof information into a clear narrative flow that entertains as well as informs, making this text an invaluable resource for all students and scholars, and anyone interested in trying to understand why some parts of the World are so much richer than others.
