Free Download Herbert S. Klein, "Brazil since 1980"
English | 2006 | pages: 283 | ISBN: 0521820448 | PDF | 1,7 mb
This is a general survey of Brazilian society, economy, and political system since 1980. It describes the basic changes occurring as Brazil was transformed from a predominantly rural and closed economy under military rule into a modern democratic, industrial and urbanized society, with an extraordinary world class commercial agriculture in the past 60 years. In this period, Brazil passed from a pre-modern high fertility and mortality society to a modern low fertility and mortality one, the economy approached hyper inflation many times, and it abandoned a policy of protected industrialization to an economy opened to world trade. The advances and the failures of these changes are examined for the impact on questions of growth and equality. The book is designed as a basic introduction to contemporary Brazil from a recent historical perspective and is one of the first such comprehensive surveys of recent Brazilian history and development in any language.

Economic policymakers use various macroeconomic models, but how reliable are they in real-world conditions? Starting from the premise that all models are wrong, but some are useful, Matteo Iannizzotto introduces and explains the workings of the key economic models available for policymaking. He shows that the inconsistencies and contradictions evident in the real world require the economist to make choices about which models to adopt in certain circumstances and when not to rigidly adhere to a single approach.

This definitive guide to independent India takes us through the events and personalities that have shaped India in the sixty years since 1947. Starting with Independence Day, it covers the decades in which the subcontinent saw the rise of democracy, its metamorphosis from an economy driven by self-sufficiency to one propelled by the economic reforms of the 1990s, and the concurrent liberalization, privatization and globalization that boosted India’s growth rate. It also marks the transition from the era of single party dominance to that of coalition politics. Arranged chronologically, India Since 1947 covers a wide range of topics, from the coming into being of the Indian dominion, India’s first elections, the green revolution, the Five-Year Plans, and the infamous emergency (soon reversed by the democratic process) to the beginning of television in India and the launch of its space and nuclear programmes. Among the other events covered in the book are: The discovery of the cholera toxin Asia’s first-ever heart transplant in Bombay The beginning of the manufacture of bread in Delhi and Bombay The hijacking of flight IC 814 The setting up of the Bombay stock exchange The establishment of an all-woman hospital in Hyderabad A separate listing of the events leading up to independence, interesting factoids on various aspects of modern India, and a detailed index further enhance the appeal of the book."
