Affirmative Action Around the World: An Empirical Study

Thomas Sowell


Affirmative Action Around the World: An Empirical Study Thomas Sowell This book moves the discussion of affirmative action beyond the United States to other countries that have had similar policies, often for a longer time than Americans have. It also moves the discussion beyond the theories, principles, and laws that have been so often debated to the actual empirical consequences of affirmative action in the United States and in India, Nigeria, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and other countries. Both common patterns and national differences are examined. Much of what emerges froma factual examination of these policies flatly contradicts much of what was expected and much of what has been claimed. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин This book moves the discussion of affirmative action beyond the United States to other countries that have had similar policies, often for a longer time than Americans have.

Political Parties, Growth and Equality: Conservative and Social Democratic Economic Strategies in the World Economy (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics)

Carles Boix


Political Parties, Growth and Equality: Conservative and Social Democratic Economic Strategies in the World Economy (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics) Carles Boix This book describes the contrasting economic strategies pursued by conservative and social democratic governments. The current literature on political economy maintains that, due to the globalization of the economy and each country's institutional structures, parties hardly affect the economy. Examining all advanced countries since the 1960s, Professor Boix shows instead that partisanship and electoral politics play a fundamental role in the selection of policies to generate long-term growth and economiccompetitiveness. The book reinvigorates the claim that democratic arrangements matter. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин This book describes the contrasting economic strategies pursued by conservative and social democratic governments.

The Working Poor : Invisible in America

DAVID K. SHIPLER


The Working Poor : Invisible in America DAVID K. SHIPLER “Most of the people I write about in this book do not have the luxury of rage. They are caught in exhausting struggles. Their wages do not lift them far enough from poverty to improve their lives, and their lives, in turn, hold them back. The term by which they are usually described, ‘working poor,’ should be an oxymoron. Nobody who works hard should be poor in America.” —from the Introduction From the author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Arab and Jew, a new book that presents a searing, intimate portrait of working American families struggling against insurmountable odds to escape poverty. As David K. Shipler makes clear in this powerful, humane study, the invisible poor are engaged in the activity most respected in American ideology—hard, honest work. But their version of the American Dream is a nightmare: low-paying, dead-end jobs; the profound failure of government to improve upon decaying housing,... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин “Most of the people I write about in this book do not have the luxury of rage.

The History of Consumer Credit: Doctrines and Practice Rosa-Maria Gelpi, Franois Julien-Labruyre, Mn Liam Gavin, Francois Julien-Labruyere From the early forms of loans to farmers up to present day credit cards, consumer credit has always been part of human life; however, ever since the Bible, controversy has reigned as to its legitimacy.
