Polity Press States And Economic Development A Comparative Historical Analysis
Book Synopsis* This book addresses a core issue of comparative political economy: the role of political institutions in economic performance* The book examines the changing state--economy relations through a comparative history of political and economic development in Britain, USA, Russia, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. .Trade Review"A work of monumental synthesis, in the very best of that tradition, pulling intelligently on the best literature and generating a sustainable thesis from that." Adrian Leftwich, University of York "This is a richly researched analysis of the role of the State - and of warfare - in the historical development of capitalism." Development Policy Review "A very useful and provocative book ... a rich variety of conceptual schema ... Weiss and Hobson's book does an excellent job of synthesizing the conceptual gains of the literature on which they build." American Political Science Review "States and Economic Development provides an excellent survey of the role of the state action in 'national' economic development and well-being." Political Studies "This is an informative book which manages to craft a large amount of secondary material into a coherent argument. The emphasis placed on the role of a coordinating and collaborative state, which can also be democratic, is stimulating and ambitious ... this is a thought provoking and stimulating book which should be very useful for both teaching and research." Political Geography "This is a well-researched, well-written book. It is an excellent summary of recent work on the state in historical sociology. It will be a valuable book for a wide readership, from those concerned with economic development to international relations specialists, and from those interested in social theory to more empirically oriented comparativists."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Global Financial Regulation
Book SynopsisAs international financial markets have become more complex, so has the regulatory system which oversees them. The Basel Committee is just one of a plethora of international bodies and groupings which now set standards for financial activity around the world, in the interests of protecting savers and investors and maintaining financial stability.Trade Review"Global Financial Regulation, remains an essential guide. This is despite the fact that, as they write in the Update, 'Time seems to have speeded up in the world of financial regulation' since the first edition was published in spring 2008. That Update is ... a crucial part of the second edition." Jane Fuller "A superb account of the international regulatory system, together with a set of proposals for its reform that are highly relevant. While largely written before the market disruption that began in August 2007, subsequent events have tended to reinforce rather than invalidate most of its prescriptions ... This book is wholly authoritative and its judgments carefully reasoned." Financial Times "An admirable starting point for coming to grips with the historical and institutional background to the ongoing debate." Spectator Business "Given the experience of the authors, both of whom have participated in international regulation for the best part of two decades, it is of course masterful. It is comprehensive and clear. It is not easy to describe a structure that has grown incrementally, mostly in response to crises in one part or other of the global financial services system but the authors achieve it with apparently effortless ease." Financial Regulator "The regulatory architecture of international finances has hardly changed since the book's publication, which will probably make Global Financial Regulation a useful book for professionals in the financial markets for a long time to come." El Pais "This book is both an excellent review of how we got to such an eclectic mix of regulatory structures around the world and a provoker of thoughts as to how they could be improved." Global Risk Regulator "The authors' ability to cut through the myriad of information and arguments on topics like Basel II and present the 'essentials' makes it a lively and easy read. That doesn't mean that it is simplistic, and even those who are closely involved in regulation will find it offers some fascinating insights." Business Economist "For once the cover does not mislead. This is indeed 'the essential guide'. It sets out, elegantly but simply, to describe some of the ways in which international and national financial market regulation has evolved, some reasons why it evolved and some reasons why it has failed to keep abreast of innovation." European Voice "A masterful, succinct and superbly clear treatise on financial regulation. I am sure it will be very well received by regulators, financial practitioners, academics and their students. This book is just the type of overview that has been needed for some time." David T. Llewellyn, Loughborough University "Financial regulation matters. We’re all poorer when banks run amok or markets lurch from crisis to crisis. But most books about the rules and rule-makers of the financial economy tend to be dry and impenetrable. Davies and Green have performed an impossible feat of public service: they have demystified Basel ll, credit derivatives and all the other jargon of the global financial priesthood in a lively and entertaining way." Robert Peston, Business Editor, BBC News "Global Financial Regulation is a timely review of a subject which engages the attention of both national and international authorities. Howard Davies and David Green bring substantive experience and a strong point of view to the needed debate." Paul Volcker, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board "Financial regulation has leapt to the top of the international economic agenda. Seldom can there have been such a well-timed book. The authors are very distinguished experts and practitioners in the field. Davies and Green achieve the almost impossible feat of making 'regulation' interesting."

Book Synopsis* Offers a fresh and uniquely sociological perspective on the construction and operation of markets. * Reviews classic and contemporary literature, but also organizes it in a way that provides a new and more advanced sociological view of markets.Trade Review"Patrik Aspers’ book offers something different – a straightforward theoretical exploration of ‘markets’ within the evolving field of ‘economic sociology’, which is informed by both historical and contemporary commentary." Marx and Philosophy "A thorough and theoretically rich introduction to the study of markets." Sociology "Recommended." Choice "Markets is a lively compendium of an exciting literature on the sociological approach to market coordination. If you wish to understand the variety of markets in which we daily participate, there is no better introduction." David Stark, Columbia University "This book brings to life a sociological view of markets that helps us make sense of the markets all around us. Aspers replaces the stylized concept of the market in economic theory with a sociologically informed understanding of real markets, illuminating the origins and forms of markets, how markets are made, and the importance of identity and emotions. Markets is recommended reading for anyone who wants real insights into this social institution." Wayne Baker, Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan "The sociology of markets has become one of the liveliest and most influential areas of the discipline, and there is no finer introduction to it than Aspers's crisp, well-informed book."

Book SynopsisThe Pulitzer-Prize-winning reporter, columnist, and bestselling author of In Fed We Trust, dissects the federal budget in this New York Times bestseller.In a sweeping narrative about the people and the politics behind the budget--a topic that is fiercely debated today in the halls of Congress and the media, and yet is often misunderstood by the American public--Wessel looks at the 2011 fiscal year (which ended September 30) to see where all the money was actually spent, and why the budget process has grown wildly out of control. Through the eyes of key people, including Jacob Lew, White House director of the Office of Management and Budget; Douglas Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office; Blackstone founder and former Commerce Secretary Pete Peterson; and more, Wessel gives readers an inside look at the making of our unsustainable budget.
