Better Capitalism
by Director of Research Robert E Litan and Professor Carl J Schramm, PhD
A growing number of GHG emissions trading schemes are being implemented at regional or national levels. However, even as the number of different schemes grows, few linkages exist between them. Major cap-and-trade proposals are currently at important stages in their development, especially in the United States, Japan and Australia, some of which explicitly emphasize the aim of linking with other schemes. One of the strategic goals of European climate policy is linking the EU ETS with other compar...
An in-depth look at the problems surrounding zombie banks and their dangerous effect on the global economy The title is worthy of a B movie, but it's also apt. Bloomberg News reporter Yalman Onaran, supported by former U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. chief Sheila Bair - who provides a foreword and numerous interviews - urge that insolvent banks both small and too big to fail be allowed to do precisely that.

The Limits of Europeanization (Palgrave Studies in European Union Politics)
by K. Featherstone and D. Papadimitriou
An innovative case study of one of the most recalcitrant member states of the EU: Greece.

These are complementary and one compensates for the limitations of the other.
The widely acclaimed and newsbreaking account of President Obama's campaign to rescue America from its recession: inside the meeting rooms, the inboxes, and the minds of the pedigreed propeller heads who guided America through a worldwide crisis. DEEP INTO THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY, THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WAS PAINFULLY HIGH, THE GAP BETWEEN RICH AND POOR HAD WIDENED, AND THE STIMULUS HAD NOT DONE ENOUGH TO BRING JOBS BACK. WHAT WENT WRONG? FACING THE WORST ECONOMY SINCE THE 1930S, President Obama...

Volume 2: Internationalization and Domestic Issues (The Political Economy of Japanese Society)
Until recently, many Japanese believed that they lived in the richest country in the world, and in the early 1990s, they welcomed the end of one-party dominance.

This authoritative study analyses various aspects of Japanese society and economy in order to provide a balanced view between the optimism of the 1980s and the pessimism characteristic of more recent years.
