CURRENT ISSUES IN ECONOMICS

The Current Issues series has slightly unusual origins. Current Issues in International Trade, which Macmillan published in 1987 and which turned out to be the pilot for the series, was in fact 'conceived' in the Horton Hospital, Banbury, and 'delivered' (in the sense of completed) in the Hilton International in Nicosia! The reader may be struck by the thought that a more worthwhile and enjoyab…

The Principles of Economics

1. Political economy or economics is a study of mankind in the ordinary business of life; it examines that part of individual and social action which is most closely connected with the attainment and with the use of the material requisites of wellbeing. Thus it is on the one side a study of wealth; and on the other, and more important side, a part of the study of man. For man's character has b…

Strategic Sourcing in the New Economy

The metaphor of dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants expresses the meaning of discovering truth by building on previous discoveries.

THE DISTRIBUTIVE POLITICS OF MILITARY PROCUREMENT

This book is about an anomaly in political scientists’ understanding of congressional policy making.
