Economic Prosperity Recaptured: The Finnish Path from Crisis to Rapid Growth (CESifo Book Series) By Seppo Honkapohja, Erkki A. Koskela, Willi Leibfritz, Roope Uusitalo
2009 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 0262012693 | PDF | 2 MB
Many countries have experienced major economic changes since the mid-1980s as a result of the deregulation and liberalization of national financial systems -- two key aspects of globalization -- with some experiencing boom and bust in rapid succession. The small Northern European country of Finland has been hailed as a success story for achieving renewed economic growth and prosperity after a financial crisis and deep depression in the early 1990s. Economic Prosperity Recaptured offers a detailed analysis of the rapid swings in Finland's recent economic development, from initial overheating in the late 1980s through deep crisis in the early 1990s to recovery and growth since the mid-1990s.Finland's complex road to recovery offers excellent examples of both unsuccessful and successful policy responses to changing circumstances. The authors examine the three relatively distinct periods of Finland's recent experience, analyzing the adequacy of the macroeconomic policy response in each case. They assess the real economic effects of financial constraints and look for evidence of the "credit channel" of the monetary system. Finland's rapid economic growth since the mid-1990s is largely the result of its structural transformation into a high-tech economy; Nokia is the most famous example of this information and communication technology success. Elaborating on Finland's ICT revolution, the authors demonstrate that well-designed economic policies contributed to Finland's economic turnaround.CESifo Book series

Economic Policy and Performance in Industrial Democracies: Party Governments, Central Banks and the Fiscal-Monetary Policy Mix (Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy) By Takayu Sakamoto
2008 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 0415774144 | PDF | 2 MB
This book is the first systematic study of how the interdependence of fiscal and monetary policies and the interaction of party governments and central banks affect the fiscal-policy mix in eighteen industrial democracies in North America, Western Europe, Japan and Oceania. Sakamoto argues that central banks' influence on economic policy is far more extensive than has been conventionally believed. He demonstrates that central banks systematically affect fiscal policy that is conducted by party governments, and that independent central banks restrain the latter's fiscal policy. Sakamoto also demonstrates that the economic policy of industrial democracies did really change from the 1960s-1970s to the 1980s-1990s and became conservative as a result of the globalization of the economy and governments' response to it. But he argues that despite the neo-liberal policy shift, globalization has not diminished the role of domestic politics in economic policy.

It includes a wide range of econometric techniques that can be used to inform natural resource management, while keeping a balance between methods and applications.

EcoKids: Raising Children Who Care for the Earth By Dan Chiras
2005 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0865715335 | PDF | 2 MB
To forge a sustainable future, we need citizens who care for the earth. We need citizens who understand that planet care is the ultimate form of self-care. But we also need generations who live according to their values and convictions and who can effect positive change in their lives and the lives of others. Because public schools and the popular media cannot be counted on to produce an Earth-friendly citizenry, the task falls to parents. Yet even aware parents often lack the understanding and resources to take on such a task. EcoKids addresses this gap by presenting a coherent plan that will help parents foster love for nature, teach children the importance of environmental protection and promote environmental values and inspire action-actions that will last a lifetime. A hopeful and inspiring guide for parents, topics covered include ways to: Avoid gloom and doom in favor of positive solutions Foster love and empathy for nature Develop environmental values Put values into action Help children discover the roots of problems and be part of lasting solutions Walk the talk Counter the consumer culture, starting in your own home and community Generate hope and combat apathy Each chapter includes an inspiring case study of a child who's making a difference, short pieces that highlight serious problems such as global warming, along with positive solutions that can be read aloud to children, and activities for children. A resource guide lists helpful books, articles, videos and organizations. Dan Chiras is the father of two boys and the author of over 20 books on environmental issues and sustainability. He teaches courses on renewable energy, green building and sustainability at Colorado College. His free time is spent mountain biking, camping, canoeing, kayaking, playing music and gardening with his boys.

What if the symbols carved into stone, flashed on world stages, or hidden in everyday logos are more than decoration? What if they are echoes of ancient knowledge - and blueprints of power still shaping our present? In Echoes & Engineers: Secret Symbols - Ancient Architects and the Hidden Hands That Shape Us , Igor Berner takes you on a gripping journey through pyramids, temples, lost libraries, and political summits where history, myth, and stagecraft collide. This is not just another conspiracy book - it is a disciplined exploration of how humans across time have used symbols, rituals, and hidden knowledge to legitimize authority, inspire belief, and sometimes deceive. From the Knights Templar and their rumored treasures , to the Great Pyramid's encoded geometry , to the mysteries of the Tayos cave and Father Crespi's collection , Berner dissects evidence with both skepticism and wonder. You'll discover: How symbols like the Eye and the Pyramid migrated from ancient temples to modern currencies and global summits. Why secret societies, from Weishaupt's Illuminati to today's elite gatherings, thrive on ritual and myth. Real examples of lost technologies - Roman concrete, Damascus steel, the Antikythera mechanism - that prove human brilliance doesn't need aliens to be extraordinary. The psychology of pattern recognition, apophenia, and why we're so drawn to "hidden meanings." How modern elites still use pageantry, media framing, and symbolic stagecraft to shape narratives and project control. Along the way, you'll learn practical tools: how to evaluate evidence, spot red flags in anecdotal claims, and balance open-minded curiosity with intellectual discipline. Why This Book Matters We live in an era where mysteries multiply with every scroll of a feed, but good evidence remains scarce. This book equips you with an investigator's mindset : a toolkit of archival digging, archaeological literacy, and statistical reasoning, all seasoned with humility and a touch of humor. It is a call to curiosity - but curiosity with method
