Paperback. Condición: New. "A thought-provoking book, bringing readers outside their comfort zones. It challenges us to think beyond the typical macro and microeconomic ." A TanFT readers' best 2021 summer booksThroughout the history of mankind, the rise of societies, whether civilizations, nations, or communities, has been a story of human achievement. From the rise of the Akkadian empire in ancient Mesopotamia to the re-emergence of modern China, people constitute the basic denominator upon which societies build their success. The way people around the world think and behave is guided by a complex system of values. These values constitute key factors in the way economies are structured and their potential for further growth. To a large extent, they explain why Japan has gone through multiple lost decades; why Nordic countries accept the highest tax rates in the world, making their societies much more equal; why China has such a large trade surplus with the United States; or why some nations become stuck in a middle-income trap. It is these values, coupled with the right policies, that ultimately determine the destiny of nations.In this book, we explore how the combination of human values and policies affects national economic outcomes. We focus on certain key values conducive to growth: are people of a given nation, on average, hardworking, thrifty? Do they trust each other? Are they risk-takers? The harder people work, the higher the growth potential. Different savings patterns determine, to a large extent, whether a country will grow through investments and exports or consumption, and have generated large global imbalances over time. Trust goes a long way in explaining wealth and income inequalities and the role that governments can play in minimizing those inequalities. Economies with highly risk-averse citizens will stall. We also identify policies which have the greatest impact on economies. Political stability, much more so than any form of governance, is a precondition for growth. Free markets imply a process of creative destruction, free and fair competition, and a level playing field among companies. An educated workforce is a vital enabler of higher productivity and innovation. Corruption can seriously derail growth once it becomes endemic. Sound fiscal and monetary policies stabilize an economy as it goes through cycles and can greatly contribute to a more equal society and a more robust financial sector. …

HB, 300 x 240 mm, 192 p, 225 illustrations, FR edition, . ISBN 9788836652259. Des jouets au mus e ? Cet ouvrage en pr sente un grand nombre, par exemple un b lier roulettes vieux de 2000 ans, des poup es Barbie, les premiers petits soldats de plomb ou des ours en peluche, tous pr t s l'HDE Var par les nombreux mus es qui se sont int ress s ces objets fascinants : le mus e des Arts d coratifs Paris, le mus e du Louvre, le mus e de Cluny, le mus e du Jouet de Moirans-en-Montagne, le mus e d'Arch ologie nationale de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, le Mucem, la BnF et bien d'autres.

Les mus es, comme les institutions universitaires, se sont depuis longtemps saisis de ces objets qui permettent de mieux comprendre la place du jeu dans l'Histoire. En effet, le jouet suit les volutions historiques, sociales, politiques et conomiques, et refl te la place des enfants dans la soci t . Des harpons miniatures de la Pr histoire aux h ros d'aujourd'hui, en passant par les premiers chevaliers ou les petites boutiques du XIXe si cle, l'histoire des jouets nous permet de mieux comprendre la vie des enfants des si cles pr c dents, mais galement les besoins de ceux d'aujourd'hui.
