Economics of Worldwide Stagflationby Jeffrey Sachs , Michael BrunoISBN 0674234758 (0-674-23475-8)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Economics of Worldwide Stagflation'Book summary:This book sets forth both a theory and a comparative empirical analysis of stagflation, that peculiar combination of high unemployment, slow growth, and spurts of high inflation bedeviling the advanced industrial nations during the past fifteen years.
The authors first construct a small macroeconomic model that takes full account of aggregate demand and supply forces in the determination of output, employment, and the price level, in both a single-economy and a multi-economy setting. They then apply the model to provide an understanding of comparative performance of industrial countries in the areas of unemployment, inflation, productivity, and investment growth. They argue convincingly that the decay of the major economies during this period resulted from the supply shocks of the 1970s, such as the two major OPEC oil-price increases, and from the consequent policy-induced decrease in demand in response to inflationary pressures. Their analysis differs markedly from similar studies in that it takes specific account of institutional differences in the labor markets of the various economies. This helps to explain in particular the divergent adjustment profiles of the United States and Europe.
Bruno and Sachs make several key recommendations for the mix of demand management and incomes policies necessary to combat stagflation in individual countries as well as for the coordination of macroeconomic policies among the major industrial nations.

The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Timeby Michael Bruno, Jeffrey SachsISBN 1594200459 (1-59420-045-9)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time'Book summary:Celebrated economist Jeffrey Sachs has a plan to eliminate extreme poverty around the world by 2025. If you think that is too ambitious or wildly unrealistic, you need to read this book. His focus is on the one billion poorest individuals around the world who are caught in a poverty trap of disease, physical isolation, environmental stress, political instability, and lack of access to capital, technology, medicine, and education. The goal is to help these people reach the first rung on the "ladder of economic development" so they can rise above mere subsistence level and achieve some control over their economic futures and their lives. To do this, Sachs proposes nine specific steps, which he explains in great detail in The End of Poverty. Though his plan certainly requires the help of rich nations, the financial assistance Sachs calls for is surprisingly modest--more than is now provided, but within the bounds of what has been promised in the past. For the U.S., for instance, it would mean raising foreign aid from just 0.14 percent of GNP to 0.7 percent. Sachs does not view such help as a handout but rather an investment in global economic growth that will add to the security of all nations. In presenting his argument, he offers a comprehensive education on global economics, including why globalization should be embraced rather than fought, why international institutions such as the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank need to play a strong role in this effort, and the reasons why extreme poverty exists in the midst of great wealth. He also shatters some persistent myths about poor people and shows how developing nations can do more to help themselves.
Despite some crushing statistics, The End of Poverty is a hopeful book. Based on a tremendous amount of data and his own experiences working as an economic advisor to the UN and several individual nations, Sachs makes a strong moral, economic, and political case for why countries and individuals should battle poverty with the same commitment and focus normally reserved for waging war. This important book not only makes the end of poverty seem realistic, but in the best interest of everyone on the planet, rich and poor alike. --Shawn Carkonen [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Global Competitiveness Report 1999'Book summary:Since 1979 the World Economic Forum, a foundation based in Geneva, has produced annual reports on the relative competitiveness of countries (the term "country" as used in this report covers well-defined, geographically self-contained areas that are not states but for which statistical data are maintained on a separate and independent basis), tracing the extraordinary development of the world economy during the last twenty years. The Global Competitiveness Report uses a research-based Competitiveness Index in which rankings of relevant economies are given on a multitude of business and economic factors. From its inception, the Report has furnished specific competitive information on the world's key economies (59 this year), now presented with two page profiles for each economy. These profiles provide: major performance indicators; each economy's rank in competitiveness; and highlights of particular strengths and weaknesses. Each year the Report becomes an ever more refined analytical tool for exploring the exponential expansion of interconnections in our global economy. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Economia Para Un Planeta Abarrotado/ Common Wealth, Economics For A Crowded Planet'Book summary:Nuestras ideas sobre los mercados, el poder y la soberanía nacional todavía no han aceptado las realidades de un planeta abarrotado. ¿Cómo incrementar la prosperidad económica en el mundo? ¿Cómo reducir las disparidades entre ricos y pobres y la insoportable presión sobre el medio ambiente? ¿Cómo afrontar el vertiginoso crecimiento de la población mundial y los agudos conflictos políticos y culturales que nos rodean?
En este libro Jeffrey Sachs, «probablemente el economista más importante del mundo» (The New York Times), presenta una visión de cómo el pensamiento y la acción económica deben ser reformulados para responder a la realidad global, y cómo los líderes políticos, las personas y las organizaciones tienen que admitir que las reglas del juego económico han cambiado y empezar a actuar con las realidades globales del siglo en la cabeza.
