The Age of Declining Turbulence by Douglas N. Thompson Pdf

"This book describes: 1. Three powerful forces that are creating a far more peaceful and prosperous world. 2. The learning process that has, in the last half century, moved capitalism from a defective childhood to a mystifying adolescence on the way to a much-improved maturity. 3. A bottom-up development of world governance to accompany the growth of world capitalism. 4. How social services, even though often badly designed, saved capitalism by ameliorating the social tensions produced by capitalism's inevitable income inequality. 5. The cause of inflation. This explanation is much more accurate than the oft-cited claim that "inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon." 6. The choice between improving structural competition or using below-capacity competition to control inflation. 7. The likely growth of the S & P 500 stock price index in the coming twenty-five years together with a method, based on latent earning power, to determine when stocks are overvalued or undervalued."--Page 4 of cover

The Arab Gulf Economy in a Turbulent Age (RLE Economy of Middle East) by Hazem Beblawi Pdf

The shock discovery of oil in the Gulf States thrust them from relative obscurity to the forefront of international finance and politics. It coincided with the breakdown of the international monetary system and the twin food and energy crisis, all of which helped to magnify the impact of the oil price increases. Yet, despite the continuing oil wealth enjoyed by the Gulf States, their economy has suffered some damaging blows in the recent past. The Iran—Iraq War has imposed a heavy burden on the Gulf countries which have contributed huge sums to Iraq. Internally, the Gulf economies have been hurt by the speculative boom generated by the unofficial stock-market in Kuwait which collapsed in the summer of 1982. This book, by an Arab economist long experienced in working in the Gulf economy, reviews the prospects for the region in the light of these external and internal problems and, drawing on the Kuwaiti example, suggests ways in which changes can be made. First published in 1984.

A Turbulent Voyage by Floyd Windom Hayes Pdf

This anthology is designed to introduce the reader to the contours and content of African American Studies. The text and readings included here not only impart information but seek as their foremost goal to precipitate in the reader an awareness of the complex and changing character of the African American experience--its origins, developments, and future challenges. The book aims to engage readers in the critical analysis of a broad spectrum of subjects, themes, and issues--ancient and medieval Africa, Western European domination and African enslavement, resistance to oppression, African American expressive culture, family and educational policies, economic and political matters, and the importance of ideas. The materials included in this anthology comprise a discussion of some of the fundamental problems and prospects related to the African American experience that deserve attention in a course in African American Studies. African American Studies is a broad field concerned with the examination of the black experience, both historically and presently. Hence, the subjects, themes, and issues included in this text transcend the narrow confines of traditional academic disciplinary boundaries. In selecting materials for this book, Floyd W. Hayes was guided by a developmental or historical approach in the general compilation of each section's readings. By doing so, the author hopes that the reader will be enabled to arrive at a critical understanding of the conditions and forces that have influenced the African American experience.

Muslim Identity in a Turbulent Age by Mike Hardy,Fiyaz Mughal,Sarah Markiewicz Pdf

How can Islam be understood in the context of internal struggles for unity and identity, a rise in anti-Muslim hate crime and continued media portrayals of violence, extremism, warfare and oppression? Looking at Islam as a faith, a whole system with political dimensions and through the lens of Western media, this book sets out to clarify the nature of true Islam and the true nature of Islam. With diverse contributions from Muslims, Christians and individuals with no religious affiliations, this collection of essays respond to the King of Jordan's Amman Message - an initiative seeking to clarify Islam as a religion of peace - in light of recent international events such as the Charlie Hebdo controversy. Presenting fresh perspectives on a frequently misrepresented religion, this book offers a platform for debate about Islam's place within Western culture and political systems, and the role that faith communities can play in seeking peace and reconciliation.
