Austerity

By Florian Schui

Austerity is at the centre of political debates today. Its defenders praise it

as a panacea that will prepare the ground for future growth and stability.

Critics insist it will precipitate a vicious cycle of economic decline, possibly

leading to political collapse. But the notion that abstinence from consumption

brings benefits to states, societies, or individuals is hardly new. This book puts

the debates of our own day in perspective by exploring the long history of

austerity - a popular idea that lives on despite a track record of dismal failure. NF 339.47 SCH

False Economy

By Alan Beattie

Why do oil and diamonds lead to economic disaster more often than boom?

Why doesn’t Africa grow cocaine? Why might believing in God be good for your bal-

ance-sheet? Using the stories of economic triumph and disaster, this title explains

how some countries went wrong while others went right.

“A thorough examination of economies from the age of empire to the age of the IMF. Beattie’s

analysis dazzles with particulars”

Keynes

By Robert Skidelsky

NF 330.15 SKI

As the crash of 1929 plunged the world economy into turmoil,

two men emerged with competing claims on how to restore balance.

John Maynard Keynes, the mercurial Cambridge economist, believed

that government had a duty to spend. He met his opposite in a

little-known Austrian economics professor, Friedrich Hayek, who

considered attempts to intervene pointless and potentially dangerous.

From their first face-to-face encounter to the heated arguments between

their ardent disciples, Nicholas Wapshott unearths the contemporary

relevance of Keynes and Hayek, as present-day arguments over the

virtues of the free market and government intervention rage with the

same ferocity as they did in the 1930s.

Paper Promises

What are countries famous for making? For Japan, the answer might be electronic goods. For Germany, automobiles. For France, perhaps a Louis Vuitton bag. But what about Britain?

Here, Evan Davis sets himself the task of finding out. Offering a fascinating look at our manufacturing industries and revealing the various companies that might not be household names, but are very much world leaders in their fields, he shows how we have learnt to spe-cialise in high end and niche areas that are the envy of the world.

Taking in our disappointments and successes, Made in Britain is a brilliantly readable tour of our economic history, exploring the curious blend of resilience, innovation and economic free-thinking that makes us who we are.

Economics and the Crisis of 2008

By Paul Krugman

How can developing countries grow their economies? Most answers to this question center on what the rich world should or shouldn’t do for the poor world.

In the Quest for Prosperity, Justin Yifu Lin—the first non-Westerner to be chief economist of the World Bank—focuses on what developing nations can do to help themselves.

“The Quest for Prosperity is an important book. Written with verve and clarity, it reflects a deep understanding of global economics issues, and

proposes practical solutions that anyone concerned with the plight of the world’s poor would be wise to read.”

- Robert Fogel,

Nobel Laureate in Economics

understand what’s happening in the world today”
