BOOK
The Holy Grail of Macroeconomics, Revised Edition: Lessons from Japans Great Recession
Richard C. Koo
$14.18

About this product:
The revised edition of this highly acclaimed work presents crucial lessons from Japan’s recession that could aid the US and other economies as they struggle to recover from the current financial crisis.

This book is about Japan’s 15-year long recession and how it affected current theoretical thinking about its causes and cures. It has a detailed explanation on what happened to Japan, but the discoveries made are so far-reaching that a large portion of economics literature will have to be modified to accommodate another half to the macroeconomic spectrum of possibilities that conventional theorists have overlooked.

The author developed the idea of yin and yang business cycles where the conventional world of profit maximization is the yang and the world of balance sheet recession, where companies are minimizing debt, is the yin. Once so divided, many varied theories developed in macro economics since the 1930s can be nicely categorized into a single comprehensive theory- The Holy Grail of Macro Economics

BOOK
Recessions and Depressions: Understanding Business Cycles
Todd Alan Knoop
$25.00

About this product:

The economy of any nation is an intricate web of relationships among the factors determining supply and demand—and everything that affects them, from inflation to taxes to the stock market. The study of business cycles attempts to explain why economies grow and contract, experiencing periods of prosperity and pain. Consistent with the popular conception of economics as the dismal science, economists secretly long for recessions (periods of negative growth) and depressions (severe contractions), not because they enjoy their devastating impact on human welfare, but because these downturns serve as excellent laboratories for observing what happens when markets break down. Despite over two centuries of debate, no one has yet definitively unlocked the secrets of economic downturns and how they might be prevented.

In Recessions and Depressions, Todd Knoop takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of economic thought, tracing the evolution of business cycle theory. In the process, he presents an accessible introduction to what makes the economy tick, and offers new insights into understanding such historic economic events as the Great Depression, as well as more recent ones, such as the Asian meltdown in the 1990s, the financial crises in Latin America, and the U.S. recession of 2001, from which the United States is still recovering. Knoop reminds us that economists' track record in forecasting business cycles leaves much to be desired, and the quest to fully understand what causes economic downturns—and their effects on individuals and families—continues.

The Ethics Recession: Reflections on the Moral Underpinnings of the Current Economic Crisis
Rushworth M. Kidder
$13.95

About this product:
What started as an economic recession has become an ethics recessiona full-blown collapse of integrity and responsibility that is now shaping the way we need to think about and respond to this crisisargues award-winning journalist and author Rushworth M. Kidder. In this timely new book he makes the case that, with each passing day, the current economic crisis is moving from issues of money to issues of integrity. Kidder reflects on the abandonment of responsibility and the failures of moral courage that underlie the financial numbers. He also identifies the kind of changes required to bring us through this crisischanges not only in personal ethics but in our collective culture of integrity. Until the fall of 2008, Kidder observes, the recession was typically reported, discussed, and analyzed as though it were simply a question of failures of prosperity and wealth creation. But as examples began piling up of failures of private character and public responsibilityfrom Bernie Madoffs Ponzi scheme to Wall Streets excessive bonusesthe public conversation has, he writes, moved irreversibly from finance to integrity. In the earlier months, the crisis was framed through what Kidder calls the two default languages of journalismthe language of economics, which asks, Whats the bottom line? or the language of politics, which asks, Wheres the power? Now, Kidder argues, were increasingly using a third languagethe language of ethicsto ask, Whats right? In assembling these pieces, Kidder writes in the introduction, Ive been struck by the way that each weeks news kept building the case for an ethics recession. Written with Kidders trademark fluidity, penetrating analysis, and eye for detail, this book is aimed at professionals and non-specialists alikefor all those who are seeking frameworks for understanding the current crisis, seeing its larger meaning, and finding the way through it.
