A Student's Perspective on International Political Economy. Tuesday, December 4, 2012. With the developing countries and much of the global community still climbing out of recession, there is still a risk for plunging the global economy into a "double dip" recession.

For proposal II, as has been the case for some time, developed countries such a...

http://laowhy.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-different-take-on-cities-of-future.html
A Student's Perspective on International Political Economy. Thursday, November 15, 2012. A Different Take on "Cities of the Future". After reading Annelise's post. I, however, do not think that making the Eco-City itself is actually the main focus of this project. Instead, the city provides a breeding ground for testing new approaches to creating greener cities. As Annelise said, over 600 companies already have signed on to the project, but going further, they have signed on to test out their own. Précis...

Finally, I would have liked him to spend more time discussing the role (if any) that African values and culture play in the continuation of economic recession. Are neopatrimonial tendencies, resulting in clientelism, to some degree inherent in African governance due to the African value of kinship and community? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Freddy Tovo: Efficiency Bubble and the U.S. Recovery
http://freddytovo.blogspot.com/2012/11/efficiency-bubble-and-us-recovery.html
Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Efficiency Bubble and the U.S. Recovery. At first it may seem rather odd how both of these relate. However, let me offer some background information that will help to wrap this idea. Therefore:. Since 2008, the United State government has been injecting money into the economy through changes in fiscal and monetary policy ( U$1 trillion). Yet, economists as Paul Krugman still argue that the stimulus package(s) is not enough to jump-start the economy. In my opinion, is not the si...

A Student's Perspective on International Political Economy: P4T: Africa, the Resource Curse, and China
http://laowhy.blogspot.com/2012/11/p4t-africa-resource-curse-and-china.html
A Student's Perspective on International Political Economy. Tuesday, November 13, 2012. P4T: Africa, the Resource Curse, and China. I know I am probably forgetting my economics 101, but when there is a "resource curse," the economy becomes focused on developing natural resources, preventing workers from developing secondary, tertiary, or other industries.
