Ricardo on Money

Autor: Ghislain Deleplace

Número de Páginas: 435

Despite his achievements, David Ricardo’s views on money have often been misunderstood and underappreciated. His advanced ideas had to wait until the twentieth century to be applied, and most historians of economic thought continue to consider him as an obsolete orthodox. The last book devoted in tribute to Ricardo as a monetary economist was published more than 25 years ago. Ricardo on Money encompasses the whole of Ricardo’s writings on currency, whether in print, unpublished notes, correspondence, or reported parliamentary speeches and evidence. The aim of the book is at rehabilitating Ricardo as an unorthodox theorist on money and suggesting his relevance for modern analysis. It is divided into three parts: history, theory and policy. The first describes the factual and intellectual context of Ricardo’s monetary writings. The second part puts the concept of standard centre stage and clarifies how, according to Ricardo, the standard regulated the quantity – and hence the value – of money. The final part shows that Ricardo relied on the active management of paper money rather than on flows of bullion and commodities to produce international adjustment and guarantee the ...

Le Réseau fantôme

Autor: Oliver Harris

Número de Páginas: 320

" Une spirale infernale de mensonges et de corruption, et un héros bien séduisant. " Val McDermid Fantasque et indiscipliné, le constable Nick Belsey est astreint à des tâches limitées au sein de la brigade criminelle de Hampstead. Mais comment résister à l'attrait de l'aventure, quand la poursuite d'un chauffard en BMW vous mène dans un abri souterrain datant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale rempli d'ossements de rongeurs, de caisses de champagne millésimé et de stocks de psychotropes hors commerce ? Un décor pittoresque pour séduire sa nouvelle conquête. Mais une fois en bas, la jeune fille disparaît soudain, comme volatilisée dans l'obscurité, et l'exploration des entrailles de la ville qu'entreprend Belsey se solde par un échec. Ayant reçu du ravisseur des messages narquois et menaçants, Belsey persiste dans ses recherches, au cours desquelles il apparaît bientôt que ses véritables adversaires sont d'éminents serviteurs du Royaume, et que l'enjeu de cette affaire dépasse de loin la survie d'une innocente. Né en 1978 dans le nord de Londres où il vit toujours, Oliver Harris a consacré sa thèse de doctorat à l'influence de la philosophie et de la...

Big Business and Industrial Conflict in Nineteenth-Century France

Autor: Lenard R. Berlanstein

Número de Páginas: 289

Founded in 1855, the Parisian Gas Company (PGC) quickly developed into one of France's greatest industrial enterprises, an exemplar of the new industrial capitalism that was beginning to transform the French economy. The PGC supplied at least half the coal gas consumed in France through the 1870s and became the city's single largest employer of clerical and factory labor. Representing a new form and scale of capitalistic endeavor, the firm's history illuminates the social tensions that accompanied the nation's industrialization and democratization. To study the company over its fifty-year life is to see industrializing France writ small. Using previously untapped company archives, Lenard R. Berlanstein has written a rich and detailed study that skillfully bridges the divide between business, social, and labor history. Founded in 1855, the Parisian Gas Company (PGC) quickly developed into one of France's greatest industrial enterprises, an exemplar of the new industrial capitalism that was beginning to transform the French economy. The PGC supplied at least half the coa

Énergie

Número de Páginas: 861

"En quelque vingt ans, peu d'industries ont connu une mutation comparable à celle qui a "changé la donne" dans les différents secteurs de l'énergie : pétrole, gaz, charbon, électricité, nucléaire, renouvelables. Les changements technologiques, les rapports de force entre pays, le comportement des acteurs, les décisions politiques mettant le marché au coeur de toutes les réformes, autant de déterminants majeurs qui ont bouleversé les fondamentaux mêmes de ces activités. Comment les prix se forment-ils sur ces différents marchés ? Comment tenir compte des deux dimensions de l'énergie : des biens stratégiques mais aussi de service public ? Ce qui vaut pour une énergie est-il pertinent pour les autres ? Le marché peut-il toujours se substituer à la planification et à quelles conditions ? Quels sont les liens entre énergie et environnement ? Voilà quelques questions, parmi beaucoup d'autres, auxquelles cet ouvrage, dans sa 2e édition actualisée, apporte des réponses. Il dresse, pour la première fois, un bilan de ces changements, basé sur une analyse économique rigoureuse des secteurs et du "bien-énergie" dans son ensemble. Il fournit également de...

Law, Corporate Governance and Accounting

Autor: Victoria Krivogorsky

Número de Páginas: 309

The growing internationalization of markets, the relaxation of constraints on capital flows between countries, and the creation of different economic unions -- the European Union in particular -- initiated the flow of capital, goods, and services across national borders, growth and diffusion of shareholding, and increased merger activity among the world’s largest stock exchanges. These changes have stimulated an interest in understanding developments in accounting and corporate governance in a newly qualitative way. Law, Corporate Governance, and Accounting sets out a framework for the analysis of institutional environments as the interconnected key tools of modern public corporations. Along with examining latest developments in the integrated formal structures for the formulation of international accounting principles, analyzing new accounting regulations and the extrapolating on the lessons that can be learned from the harmonization of accounting principles in Europe, this monograph provides the analyses of the convergence in both auditing and corporate governance as well as US perspective on IFRS adoption.

Transnational Accounting

Autor: Dieter Ordelheide

Número de Páginas: 3322

Considerable effort has been made over the last ten years by such institutions as the EU, OECD, UNO and the IASC towards the harmonisation of accounting standards. It is recognised though that uniformity and true compatibility of financial instruments cannot be achieved while accounting operates in individual national economic and legal environments. A knowledge of national accounting standards and practice continues to be indispensable for the analysis of financial statements. Transnational Accounting is a unique comparative study of accounting standards of fourteen major economic powers, plus the regimes of the IASC and EU. Each chapter is standardised for easy comparison and written by a recognised expert in his or her country. The Editor, The Late Dieter Ordelheide, was Professor of Business Economics at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main. This groundbreaking work enables the reader to develop a thorough practical understanding of national accounting practices and be fully at home with financial statements in an international context.

Número de Páginas: 382

Brandon and Rachel Johnson served as U.S. Peace Corps Volunteers from July 2006 to December 2008. Living in the rural village of Kgobagodimo in the Limpopo Province, they became passionately involved in their community through youth development, health education, and teacher training programs. This book includes the entirety of Brandon and Rachel's personal blog from their time of service in South Africa, including the months leading up to their departure and their readjustment afterward. The following is an excerpt from their March 17th entry in 2008: "Rachel and I had some really tough times at the beginning. We struggled through many frustrating weeks of school and miserable days in the village. But in the midst of it all, with a lot of hard work and motivation, we slowly found our passion. "We found the things that make us smile. We found the things that make us go to bed at night saying, 'today was a good day.' Not all Peace Corps Volunteers reach that point. We feel blessed we have."

Accounting Reform in Transition and Developing Economies

Autor: Robert W. Mcgee

Número de Páginas: 506

Much has been written about the economic and political problems of countries that are in the process of changing from centrally planned systems to market systems. Most studies have focused on the economic, legal, political, and sociological pr- lems these economies have had to face during the transition period. However, not much has been written about the dramatic changes that have to be made to the accounting and financial system of a transition economy. This book was written to help fill that gap. Accounting Reform in Transition and Developing Economies is the fourth in a series to examine accounting and financial system reform in transition and devel- ing economies. The first volume used Russia as a case study. The second volume in the series examined some additional aspects of the reform in Russia and also looked at the accounting and financial system reform efforts that are being made in Ukraine, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Armenia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. The third volume examined taxation and public finance in transition and developing economies.

L’agriculture tropicale en milieu insulaire entre tradition et innovation

Autor: Anthony Tchékémian

Número de Páginas: 258

En Polynésie française, derrière l’image d’Epinal de plages de sable blanc bordées d’eaux turquoise, de cocotiers, se cache une activité culturelle, sociale, économique, de première nécessité : l’agriculture qui se situe entre tradition et innovation. Cet ouvrage dresse un état des productions vivrières et répond à de nombreuses questions sur les formes d’agriculture pratiquées dans ce territoire archipélagique, éloigné de la métropole, méconnu et pourtant aussi vaste que l’Europe occidentale. De quelle façon s’organise et fonctionne l’agriculture polynésienne ? Quelles sont les activités agricoles exercées au sein des archipels ? Quelle réglementation s’y applique ? Quelles sont les actions en faveur du développement rural, et les synergies insufflées dans ces territoires ?Les réponses à ces questions et leur corollaire s’appuient sur une étude bibliographique exhaustive, sur des enquêtes de terrain, et l’analyse d’entretiens auprès d’acteurs. Les monographies des îles et atolls étudiés témoignent de la diversité des activités et productions agricoles : du coprah au monoï, de l’élevage à l’agro-industrie, de la ...
