Volatility and Growth | |||
| Politics, Philosophy & Economics | ||||
| Philippe Aghion; Abhijit Banerjee | ||||
| Oxford University Press 2005 148 pages | ||||
| Hardback 0199248613 | ||||
| Published Price £20.00 | Sale Price £3.99 | |||
| Using both simple theoretical models and empirical analysis, Aghion and Banerjee show that by looking at the economy through the lens of private entrepreneurs, who invest under credit constraints, one can go a long way towards explaining persistent macroeconomic volatility and the effects of volatility on growth. At the same time, they propose a new approach to analyse the impact of macroeconomic policies on long run growth and the design of stabilization programmes. Off-mint. | ||||

| Paperback Illustrated 1843060841 | ||||
| Published Price £9.95 | Sale Price £4.99 | |||
| Gold-producing Wales is the only Commonwealth country without its own paper currency. The situation was briefly remedied in 1969 when former bank clerk Richard Williams (1915-1988) fooled the government into endorsing his short-lived Welsh pound notes. This book tells the heart-warming story of how Williams, operating from a former butcher's shop in Degannwy, kept one step ahead of the treasury and side-stepped every demand the British government threw at him. Published in the Landmark Collector's Library. | ||||
