  • Cambridge University Press Accounting for War Soviet Production Employment and the Defence Burden 19401945 99 Cambridge Russian Soviet and PostSoviet Studies Series Number 99

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn this book Mark Harrison rebuilds and analyses the Soviet economy's wartime statistical record, examining its prewar size and composition, and wartime changes in GNP, employment, the defence burden, and the role of foreign aid. Complementing classic long-run growth studies, the book compares the Soviet experience with that of other great powers. It emphasises the severity of current costs and capital losses arising from the war, which had a negative effect on GNP that persisted well after the end of the war. The results are based on a comprehensive analysis of hitherto closed official documents, shedding light on the dimensions of the Soviet war effort, the comparative economics of the war, and its long-term impact on the Soviet economy.Trade Review'Such an analysis is of considerable importance …' Contemporary European HistoryTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. The research agenda; 2. An inside view; 3. Measuring Soviet GNP; 4. Industry; 5. GNP and the defence burden; 6. The Alliance; 7. War losses; 8. Conclusion; Appendices; Notes; Bibliography; Index.

  • Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Economy Cambridge Companions to the Ancient World

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book offers readers a comprehensive and innovative introduction to the economy of the Roman Empire. Focusing on the principal determinants, features and consequences of Roman economic development and integrating additional web-based materials, it is designed as an up-to-date survey that is accessible to all audiences. Five main sections discuss theoretical approaches drawn from economics, labor regimes, the production of power and goods, various means of distribution from markets to predation, and the success and ultimate failure of the Roman economy. The book not only covers traditionally prominent features such as slavery, food production and monetization but also highlights the importance of previously neglected aspects such as the role of human capital, energy generation, rent-taking, logistics and human wellbeing, and convenes a group of five experts to debate the nature of Roman trade.Trade Review'Students, at all levels, of the ancient Mediterranean world have much to learn from this Companion. … [the] price should encourage personal purchase and course adoption. Excellent critical bibliographies; near-comprehensive index. Summing up: highly recommended.' Choice'… a state-of-the-art thematic survey … The overall quality is very high … [this book] offers the best available guide to the subject and will also prove useful to economic historians of other pre-industrial societies. … a very good introduction, which I have no hesitation in recommending.' Koenraad Verboven, The Classical Review'The thematic approach taken by [this] companion, and the very useful guide to further reading, makes [it] an excellent teaching resource. There is also much here for researchers of the Roman economy, with the different viewpoints and approaches taken by the numerous authors encouraging further debate on the interpretation of data, and on the issue of economic performance in the Roman world.'

    Book SynopsisThis book explores the economic effects of war reparations, with a focus on how sovereign debt has financed the transfers. Results have varied: from quick repayments of large reparations to catastrophic economic crises. The occurring theme across the book has been that enforcement of debt contracts has important consequences.Trade Review'War reparations are often viewed solely through the lenses of German reparations following World War I. Simon Hinrichsen's carefully researched book shows that war reparations are not only common but that the German experience in terms of repayment is more the exception than the rule. By framing the reparations issue in the sovereign debt literature, the book offers new insights into the political and economic aspects of war reparations.' Kim Oosterlinck, Professor of Finance, Université libre de Bruxelles'War reparations has been a topic of considerable contemporary debate given the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Yet, much of the discussion has been remarkably bereft of an understanding of how these issues were tackled in the past. This book is a wonderful treatment of the history, economics and politics of war reparations and, hopefully, will result in the contemporary debates becoming more sophisticated. I teach classes on Reparations and Sovereign Debt and this book has already, even in draft form, proved to be an invaluable resource.' Mitu Gulati, Professor of Law, University of Virginia'In this insightful book, Hinrichsen analyses how and, more importantly, why war reparations have been paid, restructured, repudiated or simply ignored over the last two centuries. War reparations are unlike all other types of sovereign debt. If wars of aggression were exclusively a feature of earlier centuries, Simon Hinrichsen's book would be a fascinating study of how the monetary reparations payable to the victors in those conflicts were eventually handled. But as Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 demonstrates, unprovoked aggression is not confined to earlier centuries and the international community may soon need to grapple, yet again, with the issue of war reparations.'
