Abstract

Studieboek over verschillen in cultuur, normen en waarden van uiteenlopende nationaliteiten en de rol die ze spelen b? communicatie. Recensie: Eindelijk een boek over communicatie dat echt communiceert met zijn lezers in die zin dat het toegankelijk geschreven is. Jammer genoeg is de titel van het boek wel wat saai, die doet het boek eigenlijk onrecht aan. Waar gaat het over? Onbewust neem je eigenlijk altijd je eigen norm voor normaal aan. Als je vraagt of iemand iets voor je wilt doen en je krijgt ja als antwoord, dan denk je dat dit geregeld is. Echter in Japan betekent ja slechts: 'ja, ik heb je vraag gehoord' en dan zou het weleens kunnen dat hij of zij helemaal niet iets voor je kan of wil doen. Dan iets minder ver van huis, de Belgen. Je denkt: ze spreken dezelfde taal, dus gedrag en normen zullen ongeveer gelijk zijn aan de Nederlanders. Fout dus. België is jarenlang door de Fransen overheerst geweest en Vlamingen lijken daarom meer op Fransen dan op Nederlanders. Ze zijn bi ...

Abstract

This book expounds trade theory emphasizing that a trading equilibrium is general rather than partial, and is often best modelled using dual or envelope functions. This yields a compact treatment of standard theory, clarifies some errors and confusions, and produces some new departures. In particular, the book (i) gives unified treatments of comparative statics and welfare, (ii) sheds new light on the factor-price equalization issue, (iii) treats the modern specific-factor model in parallel with the usual Heckscher-Ohlin one, (iv) analyses the balance of payments in general equilibrium with flexible and fixed prices, (v) studies imperfect competition and intra-industry trade.

Abstract

Monetary rivalry is a fact of life in the world economy. Intense competition between international currencies like the US dollar, Europe's euro, and the Chinese yuan is profoundly political, going to the heart of the global balance of power. But what exactly is the relationship between currency and power, and what does it portend for the geopolitical standing of the United States, Europe, and China? Popular opinion holds that the days of the dollar, long the world's dominant currency, are numbered. By contrast, Currency Power argues that the current monetary rivalry still greatly favors America's greenback. Benjamin Cohen shows why neither the euro nor the yuan will supplant the dollar at the top of the global currency hierarchy.Cohen presents an innovative analysis of currency power and emphasizes the importance of separating out the various roles that international money might have. After systematically exploring the links between currency internationalization and state power, Cohen turns to the state of play among today's top currencies. The greenback, he contends, is the "indispensable currency"-the one that the world can't do without. Only the dollar is backed by all the economic and political resources that make a currency powerful. Meanwhile, the euro is severely handicapped by structural defects in the design of its governance mechanisms, and the yuan suffers from various practical limitations in both finance and politics.Contrary to today's growing opinion, Currency Power demonstrates that the dollar will continue to be the leading global currency for some time to come.

Abstract

In his new book, Arvind Subramanian presents the following possibilities: What if, contrary to common belief, China's economic dominance is a present-day reality rather than a faraway possibility? What if the renminbi's takeover of the dollar as the world's reserve currency is not decades, but mere years, away? And what if the United States's economic pre-eminence is not, as many economists and policymakers would like to believe, in its own hands, but China's to determine? Subramanian's analysis is based on a new index of economic dominance grounded in a historical perspective. His examination makes use of real-world examples, comparing China's rise with the past hegemonies of Great Britain and the United States. His attempt to quantify and project economic and currency dominance leads him to the conclusion that China's dominance is not only more imminent, but also broader in scope, and much larger in magnitude, than is currently imagined. He explores the profound effect this might have on the United States, as well as on the global financial and trade system. Subramanian concludes with a series of policy proposals for other nations to reconcile China's rise with continued openness in the global economic order, and to insure against China becoming a malign hegemon.
