Häftad, Engelska, 2000

The rising tide of government regulation in most countries is provoking a reconsideration of the extent to which the state whould lay down rules for others. Self-regulation and other forms of voluntary rule-setting are being examined as substitutes for regulation by government. Readings 52 begins with a paper by John Blundell and Colin Robinson which analyses the forces behind government regulation, its shortcomings and the scope for voluntary regulation. Seven papers by distinguished commentators on regulation then examine Blundell and Robinson's conclusions.

This new volume contains chapters on a number of prominent concerns, including changes in the British system of utility regulation, the spectrum allocation question, liberalisation of EU energy markets, security of supply issues, reform in the European postal sector, the future of rail regulation, the cost of capital and Ofcoms strategic approach to regulation.

Price controls across many sectors are currently being hotly debated. New controls in the housing market, more onerous minimum wages, minimum prices for alcohol, and freezes on energy prices are very high up the agenda of most politicians at the moment. Even without any further controls, wages, university fees, railway fares and many financial products already have their prices at least partly determined by politicians rather than by supply and demand in the market. Indeed, barely a sector of the UK economy is unaffected in one way or another by government controls on prices. This book demonstrates why economists do not like price controls and shows why they are widely regarded as being amongst the most damaging political interventions in markets. The authors analyse, in a very readable fashion, the damage they cause. Crucially, the authors also explain why, despite universal criticism from economists, price controls are so popular amongst politicians.

When Lord Harris of High Cross (Ralph Harris) died in October 2006, at the age of 81, the tributes to him described him as one of the 'men who changed Britain'. Friends and opponents alike acknowledged that Ralph, in his role as General Director of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) and in partnership with his friend, Arthur Seldon, had been instrumental in providing the ideas and the intellectual entrepreneurship that sparked the 'Thatcher revolution' of the 1980s, transforming the British economy from one of the worst performers among developed countries to one of the best. This book selects from Ralph's considerable opus, revealing that economics need not always be a 'dismal science'. Economic analysis was, in the hands of Ralph Harris, deployed to great effect in plain language and with a wit and wisdom that made it fun.Colin Robinson's Introduction places Ralph Harris' work in context and provides an invaluable insight into the author's beliefs and personality.Ralph Harris in His Own Words will be warmly welcomed and read by academics and researchers of economics, politics and the history of ideas as well as those interested in the work of the Institute of Economic Affairs.

Earnshaw - Crab Fayre

Birds and Animals have been disappearing from the quiet rural area. Earnshaw and his Friends, including some Humans, are drawn into a battle against a sinister criminal gang planning to create a secret base for terrorism, espionage and murder.

Earnshaw is a Tabby Cat of unusual intelligence; born into cruelty and suffering in a derelict part of Salford, rescued by a Human family, including Twins, and transported to a village on the edge of the Lake District. The Tabby reluctantly accepts responsibility for the Humans and adopts them, but has to share his rural retreat with a Rabbit, Scruffy Parrot and black Cat, becoming leader of the self-styled RSPCA. Earnshaw creates a wide network of unusual Animal and Bird friends and a particularly understanding and trust with a Human, in the form of the Twins nature-wise Grandfather.

Their lives have already been threatened by their association with their Human family and have had previous experience of attacks by criminal gangs of Spies, Witches and vicious Poachers, becoming wise in the cruel and lethal ways of these Humans. They now face even bigger challenges.

Earnshaw and his friends, like all Animals and Birds, live in a parallel world; speak parallel languages, often at frequencies beyond Human hearing, understanding each other perfectly well. They also understand what Humans say but cannot talk to them, until the communication barrier is broken by their scruffy, bi-lingual Parrot, with a colourful vocabulary.

During the local Town''s fortnight-long Charter Festival, the family and the RSPCA come under attack once more, from both old enemies and new, even more dangerous adversaries. Earnshaw and his friends have to overcome many cruel, vicious and potentially lethal attacks, to protect themselves and their adopted Humans; encountering many unnerving experiences and dark elements of the parallel Human World.

Earnshaw with his organisation of clever and resourceful friends survive all their strange and unusual adventures to overcome the darker side of Human nature, with their own enduring sense of humour, mutual mischief and moments of occasional slapstick, all seen through the eyes of the Tiger Tabby.
