Dambisa Moyo Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

A unique insight into the work of corporate boards and why their work is so important in society, by a hugely influential economist who has global recognition[Bokinfo].

From an internationally acclaimed economist, a provocative call to jump-start economic growth by aggressively overhauling liberal democracy Around the world, people who are angry at stagnant wages and growing inequality have rebelled against established governments and turned to political extremes. Liberal democracy, history's greatest engine of growth, now struggles to overcome unprecedented economic headwinds--from aging populations to scarce resources to unsustainable debt burdens. Hobbled by short-term thinking and ideological dogma, democracies risk falling prey to nationalism and protectionism that will deliver declining living standards. In Edge of Chaos, Dambisa Moyo shows why economic growth is essential to global stability, and why liberal democracies are failing to produce it today. Rather than turning away from democracy, she argues, we must fundamentally reform it. Edge of Chaos presents a radical blueprint for change in order to galvanize growth and ensure the survival of democracy in the twenty-first century.

Výstižná a čtivá zpráva o současném úpadku hospodářské nadvlády Západu. Jak kvůli chybné hospodářské politice v uplynulých padesáti letech nejvyspělejší a nejbohatší státy světa promarnily své dominantní postavení? Podle ekonomky D. Moyové jsou příčiny hospodářského úpadku tři: za prvé západní svět většinu kapitálu investoval špatně, za druhé pracovní síla na Západě příliš zdražila a za třetí se začala snižovat produktivita obecně. Základním rysem naší společnosti už není inovace a progresivní myšlení. Místo toho jsme krátkozraká a lhostejná civilizace, které nejvíc záleží na spotřebě. Jaká opatření je třeba přijmout? Moyová ve své knize nabízí řešení.

We all know the world's resources the commodities that underpin our daily lives and economies are scarce. But how many of us know what that really means for the global economy today?

This book charts how over the last 50 years the most advanced and advantaged countries of the world have squandered their dominant position through a sustained catalogue of fundamentally flawed economic policies.

'Articulate, self-confident and angry . . . this book marks a turning point' Spectator We all want to help. Over the past fifty years $1 trillion of aid has flowed from Western governments to Africa, with rock stars and actors campaigning for more. But this has not helped Africa. It has ruined it. Dambisa Moyo's excoriating and controversial book reveals why millions are actually poorer because of aid, unable to escape corruption and reduced, in the West's eyes, to a childlike state of beggary. Dead Aid shows us another way. Using hard evidence to illustrate her case, Moyo shows how, with access to capital and with the right policies, even the poorest nations can turn themselves around. First we must destroy the myth that aid works - and make charity history.
