In this seminal collection, an interdisciplinary team of distinguished scholars draw on relevant conceptual models and compare experiences from other countries to show how South Africa could most successfully build a democratic developmental state. Macro- and microeconomic questions, as well as the institutional, governance, and social challenges facing South Africa are analyzed, as are the country's distinct advantages such as its existing constitutional democracy, its cashflow from mineral resources, and the commitment of its political leadership.The contributors eloquently make the case that for South Africa to become a developmental state that is both democratic and socially inclusive, economic and social policy have to be intertwined, development and democratic agendas have to be mutually reinforcing, and a competent bureaucracy needs to be built to enhance state capacity.

Henry George (1839-97) was an American journalist and newspaper editor. In Progress and Poverty, his most famous work (1879), he seeks to explain the apparent paradox that the gulf between rich and poor in a developed city (or nation) is much less that that in a less developed community: 'Like a flash it came over me that there was the reason of advancing poverty with advancing wealth. With the growth of population, land grows in value, and the men who work it must pay more for the privilege.' His economic ideas were widely debated, and this volume also contains a response to the 1881 English edition of the book from Isaac B. Cooke, a cotton broker from Liverpool, and Andrew Mearns's The Bitter Cry of Outcast London (1883), a short but telling description of the reality of the poverty then to be found in the world's richest city.

Over the past few decades the rapid spread of information and knowledge, the increasing expectations of customers and stakeholders, intensified competition, and searching for superior performance and low costs at the same time have made supply chain a critical management area. Since supply chain is the network of organizations that are involved in moving materials, documents and information through on their journey from initial suppliers to final customers, it encompasses a number of key flows: physical flow of materials, flows of information, and tangible and intangible resources which enable supply chain members to operate effectively. This book gives an up-to-date view of supply chain, emphasizing current trends and developments in the area of supply chain management.

War in der Antike noch der Dreiklang der praktischen Wissenschaften von Ethik, Politik und Ökonomik geläufig, so hat sich in der akademischen Philosophie innerhalb der praktischen Philosophie ein Schwerpunkt auf ethischen Fragestellungen herausgebildet, hinter dem die Politik und Ökonomie weitgehend zurücktreten. Der vorliegende Band stellt die antike Ökonomie und ihre Bezüge zu Politik und Ethik als Topoi der antiken praktischen Philosophie dar. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der ökonomischen Literatur (Oikonomika) antiker Autoren wie Xenophon oder (Pseudo-)Aristoteles. Beispielhafte Fragestellungen sind etwa der Umgang mit Staatseinkünften (Xenophon), die Erwerbskunst (Platon), das Menschenbild (Aristoteles) oder die Frage nach äußerlichem Besitz und natürlicher Freiheit (Aristoteles). Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert die Ergebnisse eines Workshops, der im Rahmen des Arbeitskreises "Praktische Philosophie in der Antike" der GANPH in Basel Philosophen, Historiker und Philologen zusammengebracht hat.
