G. Bird – författare

Responding to growing interest in the Kantian tradition and in issues concerning space and time, this volume offers an insightful and original contribution to the literature by bringing together analytical and phenomenological approaches in a productive exchange on topical issues such as action, perception, the body, and cognition and its limits.

There are many challenges facing the economies of developing countries. Capital volatility, financial crises, aid, debt and the IMF are all issues that have received a great deal of attention over recent years. In "International Finance and the Developing Economies", Graham Bird provides an essentially non-technical discussion of these issues, examining the underlying political economy and discussing the policy alternatives that are available.

This volume provides a non-mathematical introduction to the macroeconomic analysis of both the open economy and the world economy. While it presumes some basic understanding of macroeconomics, it does not require any significant mathematical capability. The first part examines the macro theory of the open economy; the second part examines macroeconomic stabilization policy in the context of an open economy, and the world economy; and the third part looks at various case studies or applications of the analysis introduced in the first two parts. This has been rewritten to accommodate recent global economic events, and demonstrates how the theoretical discussion goes a long way to explain recent changes in the world economy. Each chapter is accompanied by some brief notes and additional references but the intention has been to keep the book short and manageable. The practical orientation of the book means that it should be of interest to policy makers, but it is also suitable for first or second year undergraduates, either as a course text or as a supplement to other more conventional macroeconomics textbooks.
