One economics, many recipes / Dani Rodrik

Public ISBD Titre : One economics, many recipes : globalization, institutions and economic growth Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dani Rodrik, Auteur Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 263 p Note générale : 03.ROD Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Mondialisation Tags : Mondialisations  Croissance économique  Politique industrielle Index. décimale : 03 Commerce-Mondialisation Résumé : In One Economics, Many Recipes, leading economist Dani Rodrik argues that neither globalizers nor antiglobalizers have got it right. While economic globalization can be a boon for countries that are trying to dig out of poverty, success usually requires following policies that are tailored to local economic and political realities rather than obeying the dictates of the international globalization establishment. A definitive statement of Rodrik's original and influential perspective on economic growth and globalization, One Economics, Many Recipes shows how successful countries craft their own unique strategies--and what other countries can learn from them. To most proglobalizers, globalization is a source of economic salvation for developing nations, and to fully benefit from it nations must follow a universal set of rules designed by organizations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization and enforced by international investors and capital markets. But to most antiglobalizers, such global rules spell nothing but trouble, and the more poor nations shield themselves from them, the better off they are. Rodrik rejects the simplifications of both sides, showing that poor countries get rich not by copying what Washington technocrats preach or what others have done, but by overcoming their own highly specific constraints. And, far from conflicting with economic science, this is exactly what good economics teaches.

The Profit Paradox / Jan Eeckhout

Public ISBD Titre : The Profit Paradox : How Thriving Firms Threaten the Future of Work Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jan Eeckhout, Auteur Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2021 Importance : 327 p Note générale : 01 EEC Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Capitalisme  Monopole  Croissance économique  Salaire  Economie numérique Index. décimale : 01 Economie Résumé : In an era of technological progress and easy communication, it might seem reasonable to assume that the world’s working people have never had it so good. But wages are stagnant and prices are rising, so that everything from a bottle of beer to a prosthetic hip costs more. Economist Jan Eeckhout shows how this is due to a small number of companies exploiting an unbridled rise in market power—the ability to set prices higher than they could in a properly functioning competitive marketplace. Drawing on his own groundbreaking research and telling the stories of common workers throughout, he demonstrates how market power has suffocated the world of work, and how, without better mechanisms to ensure competition, it could lead to disastrous market corrections and political turmoil.
