This was the single most important economic reality of Europe''s daily life in the early modern period. Jan de Vries uses the Dutch Republic as a case study of how the market functioned and how the regulatory system evolved and acted. The ways in which consumer behaviour adapted to these structures, and the state interacted with producers and consumers in the pursuit of its own interests, had major implications for the measurement of living standards in this period. The long-term consequences of the Dutch state''s interventions reveal how capitalist economies, far from being the outcome of unfettered market economics, are inextricably linked with regulatory fiscal regimes.

However, China's development and its increasing economic power, which is a direct consequence of the ongoing reform process, is unstoppable.The confrontation between China and the US will favor Chinese expansion into the EU not only because the EU offers a more receptive environment for Chinese Foreign Direct Investment, but also because the EU and China have more in common if we consider the Belt And Road Initiative and the new bilateral investment agreement which is under negotiation. The EU, not only represents the final destination of the BRI, but also a more logical and convenient trade partner for China.The shift of Chinese attention toward the EU will also change the equilibrium between China, the EU and the US, bring forth the negotiation of new trade agreements, and move the entire international community towards a new world trade order and a new multilateralism which might evolve into a tripolarism.","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743277855063,"sku":"9789811225802","price":112.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789811225802.jpg?v=1720064890"},{"product_id":"black-gold-9780008353438","title":"Black Gold","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour morning flat-white helped shape the modern world           \u003cp\u003e             \u003cstrong\u003e‘Elegantly written, witty and so wide in scope, so rich in detail and so thought provoking’ Joanna Blythman\u003c\/strong\u003e           \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'an aromatic blend of colonial history and globalisation criticism' Ecologist\u003c\/p\u003e           \u003cp\u003e'an impressive mix of historical overview and contemporary analysis' Time Out\u003c\/p\u003e           \u003cp\u003e'Perfect ammo for destroying your Starbucks-guzzling workmates' Arena\u003c\/p\u003e           \u003cp\u003e‘an elegantly written, witty book, so wide in scope, so rich in detail, so thought-provoking in the subtle way that it develops its central thesis, that it is a challenge to do justice to it’ Joanna Blythman\u003c\/p\u003e           \u003cp\u003e‘This adrenalised swipe through the story of the mightiest of elixirs is written by a genius with all the economic facts and figures at his fingertips’ Good Book Guide\u003c\/p\u003e           \u003cp\u003e‘full of fascinating anecdotal detail about our favourite stimulant’ Geographical\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48863956599127,"sku":"9780008353438","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780008353438.jpg?v=1722269764"},{"product_id":"accidental-conflict-9780300273991","title":"Accidental Conflict","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe misguided forces driving conflict escalation between America and China, and the path to a new relationship\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Stephen Roach . . . believes that China and the US both should and could have a workably co-operative relationship.

The FTA would, with a phase-in period, eliminate tariffs on all goods traded between the United States and Singapore, cover trade in services, and protect intellectual property rights. The agreement has received support from the business community and consumer organisations but has been criticised by labour and some environmental interests. Some of the specific concerns raised deal with the restrictions on penalties for unresolvable disputes over labour and environmental issues, the Integrated Sourcing Initiative, potential capital controls, temporary visas, and access for U.S. exports of chewing gum. Since Singapore is a relatively small economy, the economic effects of the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, by themselves, are not likely to be great. The debate over implementation of the FTA is falling between business and free trade interests who would benefit from more liberalised trade, particularly in services, and labour or anti-globalisation interests who oppose more FTA''s because of the overall impact of imports on jobs and the general effects of globalisation on income distribution, certain jobs, and the environment. Specific provisions of the agreement also have generated debate.

In this century China, India and Latin America and the emerging market based economies in Eastern Europe promise new opportunities for global trade. The European Union provided an outlet, initially for unskilled-labour intensive products of Central and Eastern European countries and more recently for skilled-labour intensive and technology-based products. Knowledge-intensive imports from the European Union have also contributed to industrial realignment in the Central European countries. The growing trade agreements in the countries indicate some likelihood of success because when the level of tariff and non-tariff barriers is already low, a preferential agreement is more likely to have an adverse impact than a beneficial one. However, the reduction in the tariff barriers, duties and liberalisation process worldwide has further given a stimulus to the international marketing across regional boundaries. This book discusses a research analysis based on extensive survey of literature and statistical analysis of the data available from secondary sources and argues the strategic partnership model developed by analysing the functional gap-map in reference to the political, economic, legal and trade related factors. The analysis emphasises the evolution of productivity and exports, and discusses factors variability in the transitional economies and emerging markets on the basis of spatial and temporal data.

Import Administration, within the International Trade Administration of the Department of Commerce, enforces laws and agreements to protect U.S. businesses from unfair competition within the U.S. resulting from unfair pricing by foreign companies and unfair subsidies to foreign companies by their governments. Dumping occurs when a foreign producer sells a product in the United States at a price that is below that producer''s sales price in the country of origin (\"home market\"), or at a price that is lower than the cost of production. The difference between the price (or cost) in the foreign market and the price in the U.S. market is called the dumping margin. Unless the conduct falls within the legal definition of dumping as specified in U.S. law, a foreign producer selling imports at prices below those of American products is not necessarily dumping. Foreign governments subsidise industries when they provide financial assistance to benefit the production, manufacture or exportation of goods. Subsidies can take many forms, such as direct cash payments, credits against taxes, and loans at terms that do not reflect market conditions. The statute and regulations establish standards for determining when an unfair subsidy has been conferred. The amount of subsidies the foreign producer receives from the government is the basis for the subsidy rate by which the subsidy is offset, or \"countervailed\", through higher import duties. If a U.S. industry believes that it is being injured by unfair competition through dumping or subsidisation of a foreign product, it may request the imposition of antidumping or countervailing duties by filing a petition with both Import Administration and the United States International Trade Commission. Import Administration investigates foreign producers and governments to determine whether dumping or subsidisation has occurred and calculates the amount of dumping or subsidies.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886638936407,"sku":"9781604564532","price":67.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781604564532.jpg?v=1722540993"},{"product_id":"u-s-trade-preference-programs-9781604567687","title":"U.S. Trade Preference Programs","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eU.S. trade preference programs promote economic development in poorer nations by providing export opportunities.

A formal scientific treatment of exporting from these into small, developing economies hitherto, was missing from the academic and policy discourse in these economies. This book interrogates the issue by focusing on the question: Why, of the population of small and micro locally-owned firms, some choose to sell a portion of their sales abroad while seemingly similar others, facing similar market conditions, remain focused on their domestic market? The book presents a conceptual model that is used to explain why some small firms export a portion of their sales abroad while others do not. This model will serve as an important tool that export policy makers in the public sector can use to develop profiles of firms that are suitable to receive government assistance for export market entry. It will also help export promotion organisations to better target firms for export assistance and thus prevent wastage of limited resources which is a feature of most small economies. The book also presents case studies on the challenges that small exporters and non-exporters face in developing an internationally competitive business. These cases can serve as good learning tools for managers in the small firm.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886701064535,"sku":"9781606927335","price":73.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781606927335.jpg?v=1722541237"},{"product_id":"u-s-trade-with-developing-countries-policy-programs-trends-9781607411222","title":"U.S. Trade with Developing Countries: Policy,","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book focuses on U.S. trade building with developing countries; a heterogeneous group of low and middle-income countries that have become an increasingly significant factor in U.S. trade flows and trade policy over the last two or more decades.

The imports from many developing economies provide U.S. consumers with an ever widening range of choices of products at lower prices, raising real incomes and contributing to a higher U.S. standard of living.

The report described the existing trade adjustment assistance (TAA) programs that provided (1) limited technical assistance to help business firms (including some that produced agricultural and food products) regain economic competitiveness or to shift into producing other goods, and (2) training assistance to workers (including those employed by some agricultural firms) to facilitate their transition into other occupations. It noted that the provision of direct financial assistance (such as income supplements) to farmers, or efforts to financially enable them to continue producing the commodity adversely affected by imports rather than help them adjust to employment in other sectors, would be inconsistent with the objectives of the then-existing TAA programs. Observers stated that farmers and ranchers typically did not qualify for the TAA workers program because they were self-employed (and thus rarely were eligible for unemployment benefits) and were less likely to want to be retrained for a new occupation (particularly if earning income from producing other crops or from non-farm sources).
