Showing results for "," in Macroeconomics

Inflation is back, and its impact can be felt everywhere, from the grocery store to the mortgage market to the results of elections around the world. Yet the conventional wisdom about inflation is stuck in the past. Since the 1970s, there has only really been one playbook for fighting inflation: raise interest rates, thereby creating unemployment and a recession, which will lower prices. But this simple story hides a multitude of beliefs about why prices go up and how policymakers can wrestle them back down, beliefs that are often wrong, damaging, and have little empirical basis.

When turmoil hits, executives and investors face notoriously unreliable macroeconomic forecasts, whipsawing data, and contradictory opinions. Are disruptions transient and ephemeral-or permanent and structural? False alarms are costly traps, but so are true structural changes that go undetected. Leaders must also assess the doom-laden public macroeconomic discourse, which habitually presents worst-case scenarios as foregone conclusions.

Mensen gebruiken wereldwijd meer dan 160 verschillende munteenheden, elk met hun eigen monopolie binnen de landsgrenzen. De meeste verliezen echter snel aan waarde en zijn buiten hun eigen gebied nauwelijks bruikbaar. Geboren worden in het 'verkeerde' land kan sparen daardoor onnodig moeilijk maken. In Geldnood kijken we naar de geschiedenis van geld door de bris van technologische vooruitgang. Politiek speelt lokaal en tijdelijk een rol, maar uiteindelijk is het technologie die structurele, wereldwijde veranderingen aanjaagt.

Who is the richest person in the world, ever? Does where you were born affect how much money you'll earn over a lifetime? How would we know?

In The Haves and the Have-Nots, Branko Milanovic, one of the world's leading experts on wealth, poverty, and the gap that separates them, explains these and other mysteries of how wealth is unevenly spread throughout our world, now and through time.

Economic theories and models shape our everyday lives. They are relied on by politicians when tax rises or cuts are being considered. They inform debates about everything from bonuses for CEOs to minimum wage rates, to the level of job protection enshrined in law. They determine what levels of tobacco or petrol duty are charged and influence government approaches to issues as diverse as obesity and climate change. But are policy makers right to be so slavishly reliant on them? Tom Bergin is sceptical, and he subjects eight of the most prevalent economic mantras to close scrutiny.

Drawing on four decades of hands-on management experience, the founder of Richer Sounds argues that ethically run businesses are invariably more efficient, more motivated and more innovative than those that care only about the bottom line.
