Peripheral Visions of Economic Development
Author: Mario Garcia-Molina

ISBN-13: 1317438485
DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores peripheral visions on economic development, both in the sense that it deals with specific issues of economic development and underdevelopment in countries at the periphery of the world economy, and in terms of its exploration of the economic thinking developed in those regions, particularly in Latin America. Bringing together an international group of historians of thought, economic historians and development economists from Latin America, Europe and other parts of the world, this volume is highly credited and is an excellent contribution to development economic studies. This book is divided into four parts. Following the introduction, the first set of papers describes the evolution of core-periphery perspectives in key contributions by Raúl Prebisch, Oskar Lange, Albert Hirschman, Celso Furtado and Homero Cuevas. The second set discusses the links between unbalanced productive structures and external trade in peripheral countries. The third set contains papers on critical episodes in the development of monetary and financial systems in Latin America during the 19th and 20th centuries. The fourth set deals with geographical and institutional aspects of path dependence in the governance of external trade and in the development of liberties, property rights and economic education in Europe, Latin America and Africa. Several chapters make use of hitherto unexplored archival material. Other chapters draw attention to important episodes or literatures that have largely gone unnoticed in the English-speaking world. Yet others combine conceptual innovations with work on new historical data and other sources hitherto not utilized in such contexts. This book is ideal for those who study and research development economics, history of economic thought and economic history, especially in Latin America.

The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field.

The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999.

The Economics of Economists

ISBN-13: 1139991973
DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe profession of academic economics has been widely criticized for being excessively dependent on technical models based on unrealistic assumptions about rationality and individual behavior, and yet it remains a sparsely studied area. This volume presents a series of background readings on the profession by leading scholars in the history of economic thought and economic methodology. Adopting a fresh critique, the contributors investigate the individual incentives prevalent in academic economics, describing economists as rational actors who react to their intellectual environment and the incentives for economic research. Timely topics are addressed, including the financial crisis and the consequences for the discipline, as well as more traditional themes such as pluralism in research, academic organizations, teaching methodology, gender issues and professional ethics. This collection will appeal to scholars working on topics related to economic methodology and the teaching of economics.

TRUST AND GOVERNANCE

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTrust and Governance is a book that translates reflections on social aspects of the economy. It is an adaptation of a monograph completed in 2009, in which the respective theme was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics, shared between Oliver Williamson and Elinor Ostrom. It is an old and increasingly current theme. The relevance of paying attention to human and social aspects is pressing in public and private institutions. This work explores philosophical thoughts about the validity of scientific methods and the possibility of comparing different theories, to benefit from complementarities. In this sense, we must always return to Adam Smith, who already recognized the influence of social aspects on the economy. In this analysis, we highlight the contribution of Francis Fukuyama, who spoke in his book “TRUST” about aspects inherent to spontaneous sociability and the desire for recognition. These aspects are relevant to understanding social capital, an indispensable element for the economics of transaction costs. In summary, this book discusses the convergence between the approaches of Oliver Williamson on transaction costs and Francis Fukuyama on social capital, both concepts, central to the understanding of governance structures.
