When an Asian company tradeswith South America, those transactions are done in dollars, thecurrency of international business. But for how much longer?

In an important contribution to educational policy, DanieleChecchi offers an economic perspective on the demand and supply ofeducation. He explores the reasons why, beyond a certain point,investment in education has not resulted in reductions in socialinequalities. Starting with the seminal work of Gary Becker,Checchi provides an extensive survey of the literature on humancapital and social capital formation. He draws on individual dataon intergenerational transmission of income and education for theUSA, Germany and Italy, as well as aggregate data on income andeducational inequality for a much wider range of countries. Checchiexplores whether resources spent in education are effective inraising students' achievement, as well as analysing alternativeways of financing education. The Economics of Education thusprovides the analytical tools necessary to understand the complexrelationships between current income inequality, access toeducation and future inequality.

This book explains how changing technology and economizingbehaviour induce vast changes in productivity, resource allocation,labour utilization, and patterns of living. Economic growth is seenas a process by which businesses, regimes, countries, and the wholeworld pass through distinct epochs, each one emerging from itspredecessor, each one creating the conditions for its successor.Viewed from a long-run perspective, growth must be characterized asan explosive process, marked by turbulent transitions in social andpolitical life as societies adapt to new opportunities, the demiseof old ways of living, and to the vast increase and redistributionof human populations. The book is based on a synthesis of classicaleconomics and contemporary concepts of adaptation and economicevolution. Although it is based on analytical methods, the text hasbeen stripped of all equations and with few exceptions is devoid oftechnical jargon.

This book helps you discover the secrets behind hundreds of everyday enigmas. Why is there a light in your fridge but not in your freezer? Why do 24-hour shops bother having locks on their doors? Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? The answer is simple: economics. Economics doesn't just happen in classrooms or international banks. It is everywhere and influences everything we do and see, from the cinema screen to the streets. It can even explain some of life's most intriguing enigmas. For years, economist Robert Frank has been encouraging his students to use economics to explain the strange situations they encounter in everyday life, from peculiar product design to the vagaries of sex appeal. Now he shares the most intriguing - and bizarre - questions and the economic principles that answer them to reveal why many of the most puzzling parts of everyday life actually make perfect (economic) sense.'Can be returned to again and again like one of those all-you-can-eat buffets' - "New York Times".

This is a book about a handful of men with a curious claim to fame. By all the rules of schoolboy history books, they were nonentities: they commanded no armies, sent no men to their deaths, ruled no empires, took little part in history-making decisions. A few of them achieved renown, but none was ever a national hero; a few were roundly abused, but none was ever quite a national villain. Yet what they did was more decisive for history than many acts of statesmen who basked in brighter glory, often more profoundly disturbing than the shuttling of armies back and forth across frontiers, more powerful for good and bad than the edicts of kings and legislatures. It was this: they shaped and swayed men's minds. And because he who enlists a man's mind wields a power even greater than the sword or the scepter, these men shaped and swayed the world. Few of them ever lifted a finger in action; they worked, in the main, as scholars -- quietly, inconspicuously, and without much regard for what the world had to say abou
