Us-China at War
TWO FORTUNE 500 CEOs AGREED TO CO-AUTHOR THIS BOOK. Both withdrew after board discussions. Dozens of executives contributed anonymously, fearing retaliation. This book reveals what they cannot say publicly. China's economic model is not about competition. It's about destroying American industrial capacity and the US-led global order. America is losing a war it barely knows it's fighting. At the heart of China's strategy is the 90% Model: build capacity to meet 90% of global demand, sell at below marginal cost with 20% deliberately depreciated currency, flood markets with subsidized exports. Destroy competitors. Ten American industries destroyed, including: Furniture. Textiles. Basic chemicals. Pharmaceutical ingredients. Solar panels. The next ten targeted include: New materials. Bio-pharma. Artificial intelligence. Aerospace. High-tech ships. China can shut down your industry at will. Within weeks. The assault is deliberate. But it's not too late. This book shows the path to fight back and win.
The Multipolar World
The ground has shifted under your feet - not with a single earthquake, but with thousands of small tremors. Power no longer looks like a flag on a map; it looks like multipolar world logistics, geopolitics of supply chains, and compute capacity booked months in advance. If you have wondered why headlines promise control while prices, delays, and rules say otherwise, this book gives you the missing lens.It is a field guide to global power shifts that actually matter: access to chips and cables, leverage in alliances and minilaterals, and the quiet arithmetic behind dollar dominance and sanctions. You will learn how "systems competition" works - who sets standards, who owns chokepoints, and who pays when rules change mid-voyage. Written for founders, policy professionals, investors, and curious citizens, it translates abstractions into decisions you can make on Monday morning.- See how the rise of China creates scale and friction at once- Understand why Europe's strategic autonomy is a constraint and an opportunity- Read India swing state choices as market signals, not mysteries- The spot where African demographics growth becomes real bargaining powerBy the final chapter, you will think more clearly, plan with fewer blind spots, and act with practical resilience. You will know where to add redundancy, when to hedge, and how to read the world as a stack of systems instead of a tug-of-war between empires. In a century with many centres, clarity is the rarest advantage.
The Next China Is Still China
A revelatory, insight-filled playbook for doing business in China and a probing look at why the country, despite the challenges it faces, still possesses unrivaled prospects for growth and entrepreneurial opportunity--by two leaders who, over the course of decades, have taken turns helming McKinsey's management consulting practice in China. In just forty years, China has transformed from a closed economy into a global powerhouse. Riding the tailwinds of its massive labor supply, aggressive infrastructure investment, and ingrained work ethic, the nation became a haven of opportunity. However, more recently, shifting demographics, less torrid growth, and an increasingly complex geopolitical environment have caused some to wonder: Where lies the next China? The authors of this book have a bold and unequivocal answer: the next China is still China. There is no substitute for the Chinese market. China accounts for a staggering 30% of global manufacturing and 18% of global GDP, surpassing the European Union and trailing only the United States. With nearly five million STEM graduates each year (more than the total number of US degree graduates across all fields!), China is well-positioned in an era of technological automation, artificial intelligence, and data-powered innovation. However, the strategies that once propelled businesses to success in China are no longer sufficient. A new playbook is needed. The Next China Is Still China will answer a range of provocative questions, including: -Will China with its aging population fall into a Japan-style stagnation, or can it maintain its superpower trajectory? -What is exciting about the country's vaunted "China speed," and how can multinationals continue leveraging it for outsized profits? -What is the key to pleasing China's "hyper-switching" consumers who have little brand loyalty? -Amid rising nationalism and geopolitical risk, should global firms rethink their China presence or, instead, double down? -As America's tech giants make massive investment in AI, can China's fast-adapting innovation ecosystem keep up? The Next China Is Still China upends conventional wisdom, providing fresh actionable strategies for winning in the years ahead.

BRICS and All That
Five countries hop on a group chat...BRICS is an international development organization founded in 2009 by its namesake charter members: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. These countries wanted to create an international trading and monetary system to counter the dollar-denominated global economy dominated by the United States and its European and Asian allies. BRICS AND ALL THAT offers a humorous account-held together by a sturdy thread of fact-of the events and personalities that have shaped the development of the BRICS organization over the past two decades. This book gently immerses the reader in the language of international finance using a mix of light-hearted vignettes and narratives. BRICS AND ALL THAT provides unconventional histories of the two grouchy countries-China and Russia-who have been at the forefront of efforts to end the U.S. dollar's role as the global reserve currency. It also shows how development loans are underwritten by the organization's New Development Bank-which was originally envisioned by the BRICS founders as a potential challenger to the IMF and the World Bank. BRICS AND ALL THAT gives a summary of the pros and cons of BRICS-highlighting both its successes and its failures during its first two decades. Dead economists ranging from Adam Smith and David Ricardo to John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman have not refused to embrace BRICS AND ALL THAT as a worthy successor to Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. Yet Smith's seminal, albeit dated, masterwork-unlike BRICS AND ALL THAT-offers little information about such weighty topics as reserve currencies and the loan underwriting processes for large-scale projects such as hydroelectric dams. This book is not endorsed by any heads of state.Jefferson Hane Weaver's previous work with Armin Lear Press is ECONOMICS AND ALL THAT, a humorous-and factual-explanation of key topics in economics. He is also the author of numerous books including WHAT ARE THE ODDS? He received his undergraduate degree in Economics and Politi-cal Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He also received his J.D. and his Ph.D. from Columbia University.
Managing Human Capital During the Covid-19 Pandemic
This book offers a critical, reflective and contextual analysis on human capital and how it was managed globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. It covers macro, meso and micro perspectives, identifies gaps in our existing knowledge and offers implications for the study and practice of global human capital management, post the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence from the studies in our book suggest that organizations globally employ a mixed workforce, consisting of individuals from various nationalities and cultures. While this brings undoubted opportunity for both employees and firms, one of the challenges in promoting long term growth and global competitiveness, specifically during a global crisis, is how effectively human capital is managed in a professional but humane manner, such that it enhances overall employee engagement and long-term commitment. Overall, this contribution complements the other titles in the Palgrave Studies in Global Human Capital Management series.
Governance Challenges in the State of Yemen
The concept of governance has gained greater attention from scholars and international organizations as a foundation for growth, particularly to lift developing countries from dire situations and bring more prosperity to the developed world. However, according to the World Bank, Yemen is considered one of the most poorly governed countries in the world. This poor evaluation motivated this study into the challenges to good governance in Yemen and the author's desire to demonstrate the importance of governance in addressing Yemen's current critical situation. Despite the extensive literature published on governance, works on Yemen are rare, and there is barely any academic work on governance challenges. This relatively small body of literature encouraged me to examine in depth the obstacles to governance in Yemen. This study builds a theoretical framework to examine the difficulties of establishing good governance in Yemen by exploring the critical social and institutional challenges vital for good governance. This dissertation poses the following question: What are the challenges to good governance in Yemen, and why and how do they hamper good governance in Yemen? To address this research question, I adopted a qualitative interpretive approach. This analysis is based on information gathered from a variety of sources, including mainly semi-structured formal and informal interviews, observations, governance and government materials, such as international reports, governance manuals, websites, social media posts, and related videos, among others. The findings expose nine dimensions and 21 constructed themes, which scrutinize how and why governance is hampered in Yemen. Overall, this study introduces numbers of contributions to the governance literature by identifying social and institutional challenges and showing how they influence good governance and state-building in the Yemen context. More specifically, this Ph.D. contributes to identifying and discussing the issues

A Daring Enterprise
The inside story of one of the most successful U.S. foreign aid programs in the Middle East in recent decades"An amazing story! A Daring Enterprise is a vivid account of the good America can do in the world if we're faithful to our values."--David Ignatius, columnist, Washington PostWhat happens when the United States launches an unconventional foreign aid program in the aftermath of a national uprising? In this behind-the-scenes account of the Egyptian-American Enterprise Fund--a private investment fund created by the U.S. Congress to jumpstart Egypt's private sector after the 2011 Egyptian revolution--A Daring Enterprise tells the story of one of the most effective, yet little known, U.S. foreign policy programs today in the Middle East. Through the firsthand account of the Fund's chairman James Harmon, a veteran investment banker and former Clinton administration official, the authors reveal how a small, U.S.-backed investment fund partnered with Egyptians to spark investment, create jobs, and expand opportunities for women in the Arab world's largest country--all against a backdrop of political instability, anti-Americanism, and Washington dysfunction. At a time when America's budget deficit is rising and foreign aid is being scaled back, A Daring Enterprise reveals how a new model of foreign assistance can tackle urgent development challenges while delivering real returns for U.S. taxpayers. Most importantly, it is a powerful reminder of the value of foreign aid and why smart foreign investment is key to America's future prosperity.

Questioning the International Role of the Dollar
Essay from the year 2025 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, language: English, abstract: World War I significantly contributed to the rise of the US dollar as a key global currency. Before the war, the British pound sterling was the dominant international currency, serving as the main reserve currency and medium of exchange worldwide. However, the devastation caused by WWI led to economic instability in Europe, especially in Britain and France, which reduced confidence in their currencies. Meanwhile, the US economy experienced rapid growth during the war, becoming a major lender and supplier of goods to wartime allies in Europe. This shift increased global reliance on the US dollar as countries and investors held more reserves in dollars due to the size and stability of the US economy, and its dynamic financial markets. Although the London Monetary and Economic Conference of 1933 impacted negatively on the dollar strength, the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944 officially established the US dollar as the world's primary reserve currency, linked to gold. This privileged status of the dollar endowed the United States with quite unique economic advantages-such as the ability to borrow cheaply, repay its international debts with its own currency and exert outsized influence on international finance and geopolitics. Yet the dollar's supremacy has never gone unchallenged. For nearly a century, policymakers, economists, and political leaders across the world have questioned the sustainability and fairness of a system so heavily reliant on one nation's currency. This book traces that long and complex story, from the early visionary ideas of John Maynard Keynes in the 1930s, through the postwar Bretton Woods system and the related Triffin's Dilemma, to contemporary challenges posed by regional currencies, such as the euro, digital innovations, like for instance the bitcoin, and emerging economic powers - in particular the enlarging BRICS.
Political Risk and the Politics of Risk
This book provides a critical analysis of how credit rating agencies engage with the political and economic dynamics of developing countries. Focusing on Brazil and Argentina, it demonstrates how S&P Global, Moody's Investor Service, and Fitch Ratings--the "Big Three"--employ a politics of risk that seeks to advance the interests of global financial markets while interacting with domestic governance processes. Drawing on underexplored materials such as sovereign rating reports and press releases, this book examines how these agencies deploy their evaluations and public statements as instruments of this politics of risk. Their actions respond to the political risk conditions they identify, which are shaped by factors such as government ideology and shifts in the international context. Through detailed case studies of Brazil and Argentina, this book shows how credit rating agencies become part of wider political disputes over economic policy and governance in the Global South. Bringing together key debates in International Political Economy, "Political Risk and the Politics of Risk" sheds light on the intersections of financialization, neoliberalism, and the tensions between financial globalization and democratic governance. By revisiting recent political and economic developments in two of Latin America's largest economies, this book fills a crucial gap in the literature and offers fresh insights into the often-overlooked role of credit rating agencies in contemporary global capitalism. This book will be of interest to scholars, students, and practitioners in International Political Economy, Political Science, Development Studies, and Latin American studies, as well as those seeking to understand the complex relationships between finance, politics, and power in emerging economies.
The Chinese Global Dream, Volume II
This book explores the socio-economic, political and diplomatic implications of China's ongoing engagement with the Latin America region against the backdrop of an increasingly fragile global political climate. It investigates the successes of the post-pandemic era diplomacy, alongside the setbacks, as China seeks to secure and maintain her presence across the region. Ever since Xi lengthened his stewardship of China by another decade, he has been aiming to level-up the Chinese values and Sino-orientalism on the global stage. Through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) he expanded into the Middle East, and through natural resource veiled humanitarian relief efforts, he sought to strengthen China's hold across Africa. Only Latin America now remains. This book investigates the tentative shift in bilateral and multilateral relations, along with the possibility and likelihood of a stronger China-Latin America alliance, and the reactions of the West. The book endeavours to combine traditional academic discourse with contemporary interpretations and provides a balanced assessment of the current successes and drawbacks of the network. Making a comparative analysis of the roles of each of the Latin American nations in allowing China to fulfil this endeavour through a global vs. local approach, this book is suitable for those researching and studying contemporary Chinese strategic relations, regional studies and geo-strategy.
Catholic Social Teaching and the Development of Nations
This book addresses Catholic Social Teaching's questions. First, what the Church teaches about the economic development of nations; second, how these teachings can be applied to the case of the DRC; third, how this application works. The Church teaches about economic development through moral principles of the universal destination of goods and solidarity. With regard to the universal destination of goods, the Church teaches that all the goods of the earth, especially the new goods, which are technological and scientific knowledge, have to be shared fairly with all nations (Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, 179). With solidarity, the Church suggests international cooperation among nations for development (Compendium, 446). These teachings can be applied to the case of the DRC, which is a poor country in need of technological knowledge to develop its natural resources to encourage economic and integral development. Education could make this project happen. Some professors from Catholic University of America and the University of Notre Dame can volunteer to teach technological knowledge at the Catholic University of Congo; they can also offer scholarships to students.
Transfer Pricing, Intrafirm Trade and the BLS International Price Program
Most governments keep balance of payments statistics on exports and imports by value, and construct international price indexes in order to deflate these statistics. How can intrafirm trades, trade between related parties, bias the construction of these international price indexes? Does transfer pricing, the price of products traded between related party firms, bias the export and import price indexes in any predictable fashion? If firms manipulate transfer prices to avoid taxes or tariffs, what is the appropriate transfer price to use in constructing export and import price indexes, in theory and in practice? These issues are important because related party trade is large, representing half of U.S. imports and one-third of U.S. exports, and perhaps a third of worldwide merchandise trade flows. This paper explains how transfer pricing and intrafirm trade can bias the construction of export and import price indexes, outlines and evaluates the various prices that could be used to construct these indexes, and makes some recommendations for the international price program run by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Between East and West
Up to & including the Age of Discoveries, the wealth of the East was thought in Europe to consist primarily of spices & aromatics. Cloves, nutmeg, mace, & sandalwood all were thought to come from a few small islands in easternmost Indonesia, which no European reached before 1500. Yet supplies of these luxury products were reaching China, India, western Asia, & the Mediterranean lands more than a thousand years earlier. This study of Moluccan spices opens with their natural history & nomenclature, & the discovery of the Islands by Europeans near the opposing (& controversial) limits of Spanish & Portuguese jurisdiction. Donkin traces the expanding interest & long-distance trade in cloves, nutmeg, & sandalwood, first to India & then to the adjacent Arabo-Persian world. The medieval West & China lay on the margins of diffusion, the former in touch with the Levant, the latter with the trading world of South East Asia.
International Finance Discussion Papers
This paper analyzes the implications of remittance fluctuations for various macroeconomic variables and Sudden Stops. The paper employs a quantitative two-sector model of a small open economy with financial frictions calibrated to Mexican and Turkish economies, two major recipients, whose remittance receipts feature opposite cyclical characteristics. We find that remittances dampen the business cycles in Mexico, whereas they amplify the cycles in Turkey. Their quantitative effects in the long run, approximated by the stochastic steady state are mild. In the short run, however, remittances have quantitatively large impacts on the economy, when the economy is borrowing constrained. This is because agents in the economy cannot adjust their precautionary wealth to sudden tightening in credit, hence, fluctuations in remittances get magnified through an endogenous debt-deflation mechanism. Our findings suggest that procyclical (or countercyclical) remittances can play a significant deepening (or mitigating) role for Sudden Stops.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Argentina's Sovereign Debt Restructuring
In December 2001, after four years of deepening recession and mounting social unrest, Argentina's government collapsed and ceased all debt payments. Argentina has failed to pay before, but this time it registered the largest sovereign default in history. Argentina must restructure over $100 billion owed to domestic and foreign bondholders, including $10 billion held by U.S. investors. A final offer made in June 2004 amounted to a 75% reduction in the net present value of this debt, and although an improved offer is expected by year-end, it is still the largest proposed write-down in the history of sovereign restructurings, which foreign bondholders have rejected.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Free Trade in the Americas
Increasingly, America's security objectives are defined by U.S. economic interests. In Latin America, closed economies and authoritarian governments are transitioning to market-oriented systems and democratic institutions, resulting in increased goodwill and cooperation between the U.S. and Latin America. In 1993, President Clinton pushed hard and won congressional approval on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Along with this, he orchestrated the landmark Summit of the Americas in December 1994 between the U.S., Canada, and the democratically-elected leaders of Latin America and the Caribbean. The result of the "Miami Summit" was a proclamation that the nations of the Western Hemisphere would establish a hemispheric free trade area with a target date of 2005. However, in 1994 and 1995, the peso crisis, brought on by a series of problems within Mexico, caused that country's financial system to collapse along with the hopes for a hemispheric free trade pact in the near future.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Understanding the joint dynamics of international prices and quantities remains a central issue in international business cycles. International relative prices appreciate when domestic consumption and output increase more than their foreign counterparts. In addition, both trade flows and trade prices display sizable volatility. This paper incorporates Hicks-neutral and investment-specific technology shocks into a standard two-country general equilibrium model with variable capacity utilization and weak wealth effects on labor supply. Investment-specific technology shocks introduce a source of fluctuations in absorption similar to taste shocks, thus reconciling theory and data. The paper also presents implications for the transmission mechanism of technology shocks across countries and for the Barro and King (1984) critique of investment shocks.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Transfer Pricing, Intrafirm Trade and the BLS International Price Program
Most governments keep balance of payments statistics on exports and imports by value, and construct international price indexes in order to deflate these statistics. How can intrafirm trades, trade between related parties, bias the construction of these international price indexes? Does transfer pricing, the price of products traded between related party firms, bias the export and import price indexes in any predictable fashion? If firms manipulate transfer prices to avoid taxes or tariffs, what is the appropriate transfer price to use in constructing export and import price indexes, in theory and in practice? These issues are important because related party trade is large, representing half of U.S. imports and one-third of U.S. exports, and perhaps a third of worldwide merchandise trade flows. This paper explains how transfer pricing and intrafirm trade can bias the construction of export and import price indexes, outlines and evaluates the various prices that could be used to construct these indexes, and makes some recommendations for the international price program run by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

International Finance Discussion Papers
This paper asks whether an aggressive monetary policy response to inflation is feasible in countries that suffer from fiscal dominance, as long as monetary policy also responds to fiscal variables. We find that if nominal interest rates are allowed to respond to government debt, even aggressive rules that satisfy the Taylor principle can produce unique equilibria. But following such rules results in extremely volatile inflation. This leads to very frequent violations of the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates that make such rules infeasible. Even within the set of feasible rules the optimal response to inflation is highly negative, and more aggressive inflation fighting is inferior from a welfare point of view. The welfare gain from responding to fiscal variables is minimal compared to the gain from eliminating fiscal dominance.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

International Finance Discussion Papers
We seek to understand how Laffer curves differ across countries in the US and the EU-14, thereby providing insights into fiscal limits for government spending and the service of sovereign debt. As an application, we analyze the consequences for the permanent sustainability of current debt levels, when interest rates are permanently increased e.g. due to default fears. We build on the analysis in Trabandt and Uhlig (2011) and extend it in several ways. To obtain a better fit to the data, we allow for monopolistic competition as well as partial taxation of pure profit income. We update the sample to 2010, thereby including recent increases in government spending and their fiscal consequences. We provide new tax rate data. We conduct an analysis for the pessimistic case that the recent fiscal shifts are permanent. We include a cross-country analysis on consumption taxes as well as a more detailed investigation of the inclusion of human capital considerations for labor taxation.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

International Finance Discussion Papers
This paper analyzes the implications of remittance fluctuations for various macroeconomic variables and Sudden Stops. The paper employs a quantitative two-sector model of a small open economy with financial frictions calibrated to Mexican and Turkish economies, two major recipients, whose remittance receipts feature opposite cyclical characteristics. We find that remittances dampen the business cycles in Mexico, whereas they amplify the cycles in Turkey. Their quantitative effects in the long run, approximated by the stochastic steady state are mild. In the short run, however, remittances have quantitatively large impacts on the economy, when the economy is borrowing constrained. This is because agents in the economy cannot adjust their precautionary wealth to sudden tightening in credit, hence, fluctuations in remittances get magnified through an endogenous debt-deflation mechanism. Our findings suggest that procyclical (or countercyclical) remittances can play a significant deepening (or mitigating) role for Sudden Stops.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Armenian Merchants of the Seventeenth and Early Eighteenth Centuries
This is a print on demand publication. Tells a fascinating story about the trade relationship between the English East India Co. and the powerful Armenian merchant community of New Julfa that lasted over 100 years (17th and early 18th cent.). This relationship revolved around the Co's. continual efforts to break into the Armenian held silk and cloth markets. This trade relationship epitomizes the age of competitive partnership that existed then. Addresses the question "What was the key to the Armenian merchants' success during the pre-modern period?". Their "fabulous success" may be attributed to the rare atmosphere of trust that prevailed among the Armenian merchant community which, in turn, led to two significant benefits: organizational cost savings; and organizational innovations.
Handbook of Development Economics
Development Economics applies modern techniques of macroeconomic and microeconomic analysis to the study of the economic, social, environmental and institutional problems facing developing countries. It focuses on the determinants of poverty and underdevelopment, as well as on the policies that need to be implemented in order to improve the development of developing countries. As a set of public and private practices that support economic growth, development economics appears in its generality as a transversal knowledge, because it guides the participation of all actors in the development effort. The aim of this book is to explain the principles of development economics, and to identify the ways in which economic problems can be tackled. It is divided into three main sections.The first part introduces the major framers of the world economy; the second offers the essential concepts and principles of macroeconomics; and the third elucidates the major issues in international economics.
Dollar's Vulnerability and the Implications for National Security
The United States enjoys a significant benefit from the dollar's status as the predominant international currency. These financial benefits translate into increased state power through autonomy and the ability to shape the rules of the international system. In exchange, the rest of the world benefits from having a relatively safe and liquid investment for its capital and reduced transaction costs for international trade. Because of the benefits to state power, ensuring that the dollar remains the leading international currency is a national security issue for the United States. Based on economic theory and an analysis of the last transition of leading international currencies between the sterling and the dollar, there are emerging vulnerabilities that threaten the dollar's status. Many are long-term issues that do not present an immediate threat to national security; however, increasing reliance on foreign sources to finance United States debt has created a potentially dangerous situation. Analysis of some of the major holders of United States Treasury Securities shows that the nations that are financing United States deficit spending face significant economic issues of their own. A crisis in those nations could result in a run on the dollar, which could temporarily paralyze the United States Government, and poses long term implications to national security as the nation loses its relatively inexpensive source of foreign finance.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
