Book DescriptionOur homage to freedom is a mockery, for the blinding glare of riches and power have made of democracy an illusion The consequence is life without social and economic justice and a false viewÂwe are chained to monetary acquisitiveness, group identities, and other limited perspectives Power and influence coupled with technology, оеютн bureaucracy, and greed have masked accumulated wisdom-the bedrock of individual integrity Even social injustice masked as property rights takes on a look of integrity, liberty, and prosperity At the root of our problems is the relation of man to the land and his mental and physical separation from it The most endurable structure would be built upon the Fatherhood of God, which the ancient Hebrews perceived as requiring the sharing among the entire people of the divine gift of land While land rent has been acknowledged to be socially created, a theft by private interests of natural resources that belong to mankind in common, is protected and exalted as the fruit of effort and a basis of personal rights The First Definitive History of Land Economics stands in a tradition of social criticism that recognizes that land-rent income should be the tax base of the community and the means to eliminate poverty The author hopes to do something towards overcoming a way of thinking that in the guise of defending property rights defends privilege in its robbery of Nature, labor, and life.  2003 г ISBN 0595299814.

Defense of the franc Poincaré dominated French economic policy during the Depression While most countries took their currencies off gold to permit a wider range of domestic policies to foster recovery, in France policy makers resolved to preserve the gold parity of the franc by balancing the budget and lowering domestic prices Novelty and experimentation оеюсж were rejected in the conviction that a durable recovery was possible only through a return to strict neoclassical orthodoxy Managing the franc Poincaré examines French monetary management from 1928 to 1936 in order to explain this stubborn determination to achieve recovery through deflation despite evidence of its failures abroad Through evaluation of French understanding of the Depression, French economic diplomacy in an era of economic nationalism, the evolving roles of the French treasury and the Bank of France in monetary management and policy determination, and attention to the fractious politics of the Third Republic, French monetary policy is set within its ideological, institutional and political contexts.  ISBN 0521522846.

How will the private sector react to different governmental policies? What policies will produce the most desirable outcomes? These two volumes bring together major contributions to a new theory of macroeconomic policy that analyzes which policies are credible or politically feasible, topics that are central to the practical policy debate оеюсп but that traditional theory cannot address Instead of looking at policy as an end product, the contributors approach policy as an ongoing process of revised goals, changes in tactics, and political pressures They consider what kinds of incentives, within different institutional settings, drive policymaking and the behavior of policymakers This approach allows more informed answers to questions of which policies are credible and which are politically feasible It explains why certain monetary and fiscal policies get implemented, and provides insights into situations that occur repeatedly in macroeconomic policy such as the bias toward government deficits,partisan competition, and central bank independence Volume 1 examines problems of policy credibility caused by incentives to deviate from announced policy Volume 2 looks at feasibility problems caused by political pressures generated by the electoral process, the politics of the public debt, issues of the redistribution of wealth, and conflict over the need for economic reforms Sections are arranged so that the first chapter introduces a topic while those that follow expand on it The editors provide substantial introductions to each volume as well as short comments at the beginning of each section within the volumes.  ISBN 0262660881.

Book Description With the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, any pretense of a connection of the world's currencies to any real commodity has been abandoned Yet since the 1980s, most central banks have abandoned money-growth targets as practical guidelines for monetary policy as well How then can pure "fiat" currencies be managed оеюсс so as to create confidence in the stability of national units of account? Interest and Prices seeks to provide theoretical foundations for a rule-based approach to monetary policy suitable for a world of instant communications and ever more efficient financial markets In such a world, effective monetary policy requires that central banks construct a conscious and articulate account of what they are doing Michael Woodford reexamines the foundations of monetary economics, and shows how interest-rate policy can be used to achieve an inflation target in the absence of either commodity backing or control of a monetary aggregate The book further shows how the tools of modern macroeconomic theory can be used to design an optimal inflation-targeting regime--one that balances stabilization goals with the pursuit of price stability in a way that is grounded in an explicit welfare analysis, and that takes account of the "New Classical" critique of traditional policy evaluation exercises It thus argues that rule-based policymaking need not mean adherence to a rigid framework unrelated to stabilization objectives for the sake of credibility, while at the same time showing the advantages of rule-based over purely discretionary policymaking.  2003 г ISBN 0691010498.

Critical, independent voices are seldom found within the citadels of international finance That's what makes Nomi Prins unique During fifteen years in the upper flights of banks like Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, and Lehman Brothers, Prins never lost her ability to see the broader picture Furthermore, as this eye-opening book testifies, she оеюсъ lived to tell the tale The result is an insider's account of the big banks' giddy ride through the boom economy Prins provides fascinating firsthand detail of day-to-day life in the financial leviathans, with all its rich absurdities and ceaseless power plays Uncovering the old-boy networks and hot-money flows between Wall Street, Corporate America, and Capitol Hill, she also exposes the whitewash reforms brought in to control them In the first years of the Bush administration some of America's most prominent corporate executives cashed out billions of dollars in stock options before driving their companies to ruin through fraud and bankruptcy In their wake they left a tangle of lost jobs, depleted pensions, and shattered lives Yet, to write off this corruption as the unbridled greed of a select few is an oversimplification As Prins shows in this devastating exposé, the much-publicized corporate malfeasance of recent years resulted from deregulation that trashed the rules of responsible corporate behavior Faced with increasingly absent regulatory agencies, toothless legislation, and an utter lack of accountability, the stock market roared on the back of phony balance sheets while the executives made out like bandits and Congress looked the other way Worse yet, everything remains in place for a repeat performance.  Суперобложка ISBN 1565848365.

The thesis of Special Privilege is that the government grants special privileges to the elite members of the financial sector of the economy that violate fundamental principles of both democracy and free enterprise Because these special privileges pervert the free market, they must inevitably lead to a crash Like a needle in the arm to a drug addict, оеютл special privileges can make things look temporarily better and, yet, guarantee an even worse future collapse The book explores several potential bona fide reforms---each of which involves the removal, one way or another, of six categories of special privilege Jack Gargan, former Chairman of the Reform Party, retired financial planner, and, himself, an author of 5 financial books says of Special Privilege:"In a scholarly but easily readable style, Vincent LoCascio strips away all the technical mumbo-jumbo of the bankers' jargon and lays bare the awful truth about the American monetary system When the inevitable and cataclysmic crack of the U S economy occurs, people will single out this book saying, 'Oh, if only we could have used this to awaken the American public to the devastating role the banking system would play in the destruction of our nation ' Sadly, for the very reason the author spells out, I am afraid we are doomed to experience the coming disaster like lemmings racing to the sea-cliffs, rather than to initiate the relatively simple solutions ".  ISBN 0971038031.
