Studies in the Economic History of Southern Africa

Business & Personal Finance

First Published in 1990. Both the history and the historiography of Southern Africa are in flux as the 1990s open. This collection of original studies by a new generation of Southern African scholars seeks to go beyond established analyses and debates. The current watershed challenges old and new orthodoxies alike. This collection treats the economic history of six states-Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe - and several sectors in the prevailing state capitalist political economies - agriculture and industry, land and labour. Whilst the book opens with a chapter on the regional iron age, its focus is mainly contemporary, yet recognising the continuing impacts of regional and global history. The authors adopt a variety of perspectives, reflective of their cases and contents, but the balance is towards critical and radical scholarship, reflecting Southern African realities as well as the contributors' generation. Common to the economic historians who have contributed to this volume is a realisation of the fading boundary between social and cultural history and their own disciplines. Increasingly perceptible also is the influence of political forces on the economic life of the region, whether it is the dependence of the Southern African 'periphery' on the yet more industrialised Western 'centre', or the relationship between the narrower 'periphery' of the Front-Line States vis-a-vis the 'centre' as represented by the power of South Africa. This theme of politics having its roots deeply embedded in the rich soil of the controversial socio-economic issues appears in a widened perspective in the companion collection of studies on the remaining countries of the region: South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland.

Tax Myth Busters Don't Fall Prey to These Tax Misconceptions

Business & Personal Finance

Five million new businesses were created last year - a 42% increase from pre-2020 levels. While this surge has the power to propel millions of Americans forward, it also has the potential to shatter the American dream because of two simple words: tax troubles. Yes, the tax code can be overwhelming and complex. But, the bigger issue is when uninformed social media influencers make wildly outrageous tax claims and give very bad advice that can lead to very serious consequences for millions of Americans. Some of the myths and misinformation we bust: Become an Influencer and Deduct Everything!Start an LLC to Make Everything Tax Free!No Tax Forms? Your Income Isn't Taxable!Not My Fault.

Bogaty albo biedny. Po prostu różni mentalnie

Business & Personal Finance

„Bogaty albo biedny“ ujawnia brakujące ogniwo między pragnieniem sukcesu a jego osiągnięciem!Czy zastanawiałeś się kiedyś, dlaczego niektórzy łatwo dochodzą do majątku, a inni mają ciągłe problemy, żeby związać koniec z końcem? Czy ta różnica wynika z ich wykształcenia, inteligencji, umiejętności, wyczucia czasu, nawyków zawodowych, kontaktów, odrobiny szczęścia, czy też może z zawodu, biznesu albo inwestycji, które wybrali?Szokująca odpowiedź brzmi: z żadnej z tych rzeczy!W przełomowej książce „Bogaty albo biedny ” T. Harv Eker twierdzi: „Daj mi pięć minut, a powiem ci, jaką będziesz miał finansową przyszłość!”. Eker potrafi to zrobić, rozpoznając indywidualny „schemat pieniędzy i sukcesu”. Każdy z nas ma własny schemat pieniędzy zakorzeniony w podświadomości i to właśnie ten schemat, bardziej niż cokolwiek innego, decyduje o naszym sukcesie finansowym. Możesz wiedzieć wszystko o marketingu, sprzedaży, negocjacjach, akcjach, nieruchomościach i świecie finansów, lecz jeśli twój schemat pieniędzy nie jest nastawiony na wielki sukces, nigdy nie dojdziesz do wielkich pieniędzy – a jeśli jakimś trafem zdobędziesz pieniądze, najprawdopodobniej je stracisz! „Bogaty albo biedny” to właściwie dwie książki w jednej. Pierwsza część wyjaśnia, jak działa schemat pieniędzy. Z wykładu Ekera, którego cechuje rzadko spotykane połączenie błyskotliwej inteligencji z niezwykłym poczuciem humoru, dowiesz się, jaką zajmujesz pozycję w świecie finansów. Nauczysz się też, jak rozpoznać i skorygować swój schemat pieniędzy, żeby nie tylko zrobić majątek, ale żeby go utrzymać i stale powiększać.W drugiej części poznasz siedemnaście „zestawów myśli”, które mówią o tym, w jaki sposób działają ludzie bogaci w odróżnieniu od większości ludzi biednych i średnio zamożnych. Każdy zestaw obejmuje opis praktycznych działań, które powinieneś podjąć, żeby zdecydowanie zwiększyć swoje dochody.Jeśli nie wiedzie ci się finansowo tak, jakbyś sobie życzył, to znaczy, że musisz zmienić swój schemat pieniędzy. Niestety, twój obecny schemat zostanie z tobą do końca życia, jeśli go nie zidentyfikujesz i nie skorygujesz – właśnie w tym pomoże ci ta niezwykła książka. Zdaniem Ekera, sprawa jest prosta: jeśli będziesz myślał tak, jak myślą ludzie bogaci, i robił to, co oni robią, jest duża szansa, że staniesz się jednym z nich!

New Departures in Marxian Theory

Business & Personal Finance

Over the last twenty-five years, Stephen Resnick and Richard Wolff have developed a groundbreaking interpretation of Marxian theory generally and of Marxian economics in particular. This book brings together their key contributions and underscores their different interpretations. In facing and trying to resolve contradictions and lapses within Marxism, the authors have confronted the basic incompatibilities among the dominant modern versions of Marxian theory, and the fact that Marxism seemed cut off from the criticisms of determinist modes of thought offered by post-structuralism and post-modernism and even by some of Marxism’s greatest theorists.

IMF Policy Discussion Paper: Putting the Cart Before the Horse? Capital Account Liberalization and Exchange Rate Flexibility in China

Business & Personal Finance

This paper reviews the issues involved in moving towards greater exchange rate flexibility and capital account liberalization in China. A more flexible exchange rate regime would allow China to operate a more independent monetary policy, providing a useful buffer against domestic and external shocks. At the same time, weaknesses in China's financial system suggest that capital account liberalization poses significant risks and should be a lower priority in the short term. This paper concludes that greater exchange rate flexibility is in China's own interest and that, along with a more stable and robust financial system, it should be regarded as a prerequisite for undertaking a substantial liberalization of the capital account.

From Political Economy to Economics

Business & Personal Finance

Economics has become a monolithic science, variously described as formalistic and autistic with neoclassical orthodoxy reigning supreme. So argue Dimitris Milonakis and Ben Fine in this new major work of critical recollection. The authors show how economics was once rich, diverse, multidimensional and pluralistic, and unravel the processes that lead to orthodoxy’s current predicament. The book details how political economy became economics through the desocialisation and the dehistoricisation of the dismal science, accompanied by the separation of economics from the other social sciences, especially economic history and sociology. It is argued that recent attempts from within economics to address the social and the historical have failed to acknowledge long standing debates amongst economists, historians and other social scientists. This has resulted in an impoverished historical and social content within mainstream economics.The book ranges over the shifting role of the historical and the social in economic theory, the shifting boundaries between the economic and the non-economic, all within a methodological context. Schools of thought and individuals, that have been neglected or marginalised, are treated in full, including classical political economy and Marx, the German and British historical schools, American institutionalism, Weber and Schumpeter and their programme of Socialökonomik, and the Austrian school. At the same time, developments within the mainstream tradition from marginalism through Marshall and Keynes to general equilibrium theory are also scrutinised, and the clashes between the various camps from the famous Methodenstreit to the fierce debates of the 1930s and beyond brought to the fore. The prime rationale underpinning this account drawn from the past is to put the case for political economy back on the agenda. This is done by treating economics as a social science once again, rather than as a positive science, as has been the inclination since the time of Jevons and Walras. It involves transcending the boundaries of the social sciences, but in a particular way that is in exactly the opposite direction now being taken by "economics imperialism". Drawing on the rich traditions of the past, the reintroduction and full incorporation of the social and the historical into the main corpus of political economy will be possible in the future.

De vier

Business & Personal Finance

Amazon, Apple, Facebook, en Google zijn vier van de invloedrijkste bedrijven ter wereld. Bijna iedereen denkt te weten hoe ze dat geworden zijn. Bijna iedereen heeft het fout. Over De vier is de laatste twintig jaar ongelooflijk veel geschreven. Niemand beschrijft hun macht en fenomenale succes zo inzichtelijk als Scott Galloway. Hij gaat op zoek naar antwoorden op een aantal fundamentele vragen: - Hoe is het De vier gelukt ons leven zo te infiltreren dat ze bijna onmogelijk te vermijden (of te boycotten) zijn? - Waarom vergeeft de beurs ze zondes die andere bedrijven zouden verwoesten? - Is er, in hun race om als eerste het bedrijf te worden dat een biljoen dollar waard is, nog iemand die de strijd met ze kan aangaan? Op zijn eigen unieke manier, die hem ook een van de meest gevierde business-professoren heeft gemaakt, deconstrueert hij de strategieën van De vier die schuilgaan onder het glanzende oppervlak. Hij laat zien hoe zij – met een niet te evenaren snelheid en bereik – onze fundamentele emotionele behoeftes manipuleren die ons al sinds de oertijd drijven. En hij onthult hoe je deze inzichten kunnen toepassen voor de groei van je eigen bedrijf of carrière. Of je nu de concurrentie met ze wilt aangaan, zaken met ze wilt doen of gewoon in de wereld wilt leven die zij domineren, je moet De vier begrijpen.

The Future of Asian Trade and Growth

Business & Personal Finance

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of current trends of trade and economic growth in Asia, assessing how they are likely to develop in the future. It examines the evolving patterns of Asian economic development with the emergence of China, including since China’s accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 2001. It is written by experts specialising in economic growth and regional and global trade/investment issues, alongside country specialists who have examined the development path of Asian economies.

Informed by the latest empirical economic thinking, this book is a rigorous examination of the influence of an emerging economic superpower, and the future for economic growth in Asia. Readers interested in the implications of the rise of China, the effect on the economic development path of the most successful developing nations of our time and the lessons to be heeded from China’s integration with the global economy will find this a thorough yet accessible account of the influence of an emerging economic superpower.
