To offer a core concept of intellectual property, to consider various justifications for the recognition of intellectual property rights and to expound their operation in particular areas of activity is the purpose of this book.It is essential to examine both the concept of intellectual property and the reasons why a legal system might incorporate such a concept. We are increasingly told that the wealth of nations, consists in ''intangible assets''. These are the intangible products of human creativity, ingenuity and effort. It is frequently argued that these assets represent the future of the developed economies and that their adequate protection by the intellectual property regimes is essential to national, regional, and even global, prosperity. We are also told that the creators of such assets have a strong moral claim to them, and that developed legal systems should recognise this claim. This text examines the ethical issues and debates surrounding intellectual property law and focuses on three aspects of the major intellectual property regimes: subject matter; the allocation of the first ownership of rights; and the scope of protection. These three aspects of the major regimes provide readers with a strong sense of the shape and purpose of the most important intellectual property systems.

Prominent economists reconsider the fundamentals of economic policy for a post-crisis world.
In 2011, the International Monetary Fund invited prominent economists and economic policymakers to consider the brave new world of the post-crisis global economy. The result is a book that captures the state of macroeconomic thinking at a transformational moment.
The crisis and the weak recovery that has followed raise fundamental questions concerning macroeconomics and economic policy. These top economists discuss future directions for monetary policy, fiscal policy, financial regulation, capital-account management, growth strategies, the international monetary system, and the economic models that should underpin thinking about critical policy choices.

* Does leadership affect economic growth and development? * Is leadership an exogenous determinant or an endogenous outcome of growth and development processes? Can we differentiate between the two? * Do leaders' decisions and actions vary in importance over various stages in the process, at least in successful cases? * How important is choosing the right economic model? * To what extent does leadership affect the explicit or implicit time horizons of policy choices? * Is leadership an important determinant of inclusiveness in growth? * In what ways do leaders build consensus or institutions to allow time for the economic plan to work? * What challenges does economic success generate? * How do successful leaders adapt to new problems such as income inequality and a rising middle class? * Does the creation of new institutions play any role in solving these problems? * Why do leaders often choose second best political economic compromises in economic development? This book has been prepared for the Commission on Growth and Development to evaluate the state of knowledge on the relationship between leadership and economic growth.It does not pretend to provide all the answers, but does review the evidence, identify insights and offers examples of leaders making decisions and acting in ways that enhance economic growth. It examines a variety of topics including leaders' roles in: promoting national unity, building good solid institutions, choosing innovative and localized policies, and creating political consensus for long run policy implementation. Written by prominent academics and actual policy makers, Leadership and Growth seeks to create a better understanding of the role of leadership in growth and to encourage further studies of the role of leadership in economic growth.
Equity and Growth in a Globalizing World

* What has been the evolution of poverty and equity during the recent globalizing decades? * How have poor countries fared on the Millennium Development Goals? * What role does wealth inequality play in the level and efficiency of investment and, hence, in economic growth? * Is gender equity a smart pro-growth strategy as well as a pro-poor one? * How is equality different from equality of opportunity, and should policy makers pursue one, the other, or both? * In formulating distributional strategies, should the middle class be integrally considered, or should the focus be entirely on the poorest of the poor? * What are the precise impacts of globalization on poverty and equity, and what are the policy implications of these impacts? * Is the problem with globalization that a key element is missing-the globalization of labor employment? * What is the role of international migration in the evolution of equity within and between nations? This book has been prepared for the Commission on Growth and Development to evaluate the state of knowledge on the relationship between poverty, equity, and globalization.It considers a range of questions on poverty and equity within nations, and the policy frameworks that can best address distributional concerns as the basis for a growth strategy. It also examines the important issue of equity between nations, in particular the possible role of international migration in alleviating this inequity. Written by prominent analysts in their fields, 'Equity and Growth in a Globalizing World' seeks to create a better understanding of the interactions between globalization, growth, and different dimensions of equity and poverty, and to inform policy makers of possible policy levers to address central concerns in the debates in this area.

*What were the causes of the financial and economic crises of 2008-2009? *What intellectual and policy mistakes prevented academics and policymakers from anticipating the crisis? *What is the future of financial regulation-both domestic and international? *What role did global macroeconomic imbalances play in the run-up to the crisis? *What is the future of the export-led growth model and what are the implications for developing countries? *To what extent will government remain involved in the economy as a result of the crisis? *What is state of infrastructure policy and the outlook for growth-promoting infrastructure spending? *What is the appropriate role of countercyclical fiscal policy in stimulating growth? *What are the long term challenges to growth? *How will climate change dynamics affect developing country growth in the future? *How will evolving demographic trends affect labor markets and what are possible policy steps to mitigate projected declines in economic growth?This book has been prepared for the Commission on Growth and Development to evaluate the prospects for economic growth in developing countries in the wake of the world financial and economic crises of 2008-2009. It considers a range of questions, particularly with regard to the future of globalization and the policy implications of the crisis. It considers the important issues pertaining to short-term, medium-term, and long-term growth and puts forward the latest policy ideas for fostering sustained economic growth in the developing world. Written by prominent academics, policymakers, and practitioners, the contributions to 'Globalization and Growth' seeks to create a better understanding of the evolving dynamic of globalization and economic growth, with particular regard to developing countries, and to inform policy makers of possible policy levers to address central concerns in this area.

'Offers hope and good sense in equal measure' Ian Bremmer 'A sensible plan for reform that can help us create a fairer and more equitable world' Sheryl Sandberg Problems are mounting. We face sputtering growth, an escalating climate emergency, worsening inequality, poor policy responses, increasing nationalism and a decline in global co-operation. But a permacrisis need not be permanent. In this book, three of the most internationally respected and experienced thinkers of our time, Gordon Brown, Mohamed A. El-Erian and Michael Spence, writing with Reid Lidow, explain where we’ve gone wrong and set out what could be done to bring about a brighter future for generations to come. They look beyond today’s headlines and political rhetoric to offer a bold, big-picture vision and nuanced, achievable solutions for fixing our broken approaches to growth, economic management, and governance. The world is changing. What that change looks like is up to us.

Lovecraft is your typical government genetically altered kind of dude, no big deal. But one day, in his brother Poe''s penthouse, while exuberantly celebrating, that all changed. His activities introduce and infuse his system with hypernites, an advanced version of what we would know as nanites. They have fused with his system on every level, right down to the quantum existence. Needless to say, this makes him all but godlike in stature. And like giving a monkey a lit torch, he immediately sets to burning himself as well as those around him. (Good times!)
And so, in a whirlwind of action, adventure, tears, and chuckles, he is thrown headfirst into the multiverse. He meets some of his counterparts in parallel worlds, mostly to both of their dismay. (Not all alternate worlds are ruled by humans.) He also travels dimensions that should not only never be traveled but are probably best not even mentioned--all in hopes of stopping an ancient plot to undo all that has been created and the ancient enemy that is orchestrating it. So, if you''re looking for a story that puts the fun back into the apocalypse and is full of twists and turns, well, my friends, then Entangled is the surprise you''ve been waiting to love!

This book consists of a careful analysis of the comparative advertising directive,giving background both to the regulation of comparative advertising in the United Kingdom and Germany and to the passing of the directive. It will bring to a UK reader the latest in thinking on comparative advertising from Germany, where the directive has been the subject of very extensive recent debate. The book also has four appendices in which UK, German and European material is given (all in English). The directive applies to any advertisement (or indeed any representation of any kind made to promote goods or services) that explicitly or implicitly identifies a competitor. It therefore has the potential to regulate such claims as
Protecting Reliance
The Emergent Doctrine of Equitable Estoppel
AvMichael Spence
Inbunden, Engelska, 1999

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
One party induces an assumption in the mind of another. Australian law has arguably given expression to three moral duties relating to induced assumptions: the duty to keep promises,the duty not to lie and the duty to ensure the reliability of induced assumptions. This book expounds the third of these duties and shows how it can be used to shape 'equitable' estoppel, a doctrine emerging from the decisions of the High Court of Australia in Waltons Stores and Verwayen. It does not purport to cover the entire law of estoppel, but does examine, analytically, how the doctrine might operate in a series of problematic cases at the edge of contract law.

Drei der international angesehensten und erfahrensten Denker unserer Zeit hielten während der Coronapandemie regelmäßig Zoom-Calls ab. Immer ging es um ernste Themen: stotterndes Wachstum, steigende Inflation, unzureichende politische Reaktionen, eine eskalierende Klimakrise, zunehmende Ungleichheit, wachsender Nationalismus, ein Rückgang der globalen Zusammenarbeit. In "Permacrisis" beschreiben sie ihren innovativen Weg aus dieser Dauerkrise, in die uns die Fehler der Vergangenheit gebracht haben. Brown, El-Erian und Spence zeigen Ansätze auf, um Krisen zu bekämpfen und zu verhindern und um die Zukunft besser zu gestalten – zum Nutzen der vielen und nicht nur der wenigen.

'An insightful playbook for getting out of the permacrisis we seem mired in’ - Walter Isaacson‘A sensible plan for reform that can help us create a fairer and more equitable world’ - Sheryl SandbergDo you feel like we’re in a permacrisis? Chances are you feel some anxiety about the state of the world. Gordon Brown, Mohamed A. El-Erian and Michael Spence certainly did.Three of the most internationally respected and experienced thinkers of our time, these friends found their pandemic Zooms increasingly focused on a cascade of crises: sputtering growth, surging inflation, poor policy responses, an escalating climate emergency, worsening inequality, increasing nationalism and a decline in global co-operation.They shared their fears and frustrations. And the more they talked, the more they realised that while past mistakes had set the world on this bumpy course, a better path leading to a brighter future exists. Informed by their different perspectives, they sought a common goal: achievable solutions to fix our fractured world. This book is the product of that thinking. At the heart of today’s permacrisis are broken approaches to growth, economic management, and governance. While these approaches are broken, they are not beyond repair. An explanation of where we’ve gone wrong, and a provocative, inspiring plan to do nothing less than change the world, Permacrisis: A Plan to Fix a Fractured World, written with Reid Lidow, sets out how we can prevent crises and better manage the future for the benefit of the many and not the few.The longer a problem goes unresolved, the worse it will get; that’s what happens in a permacrisis – and that’s why we must act now.
