Dun & Bradstreet Guide-Nancy Dunnan.......2002-04-23

I ordered this book on March 2, 2002 and it still hasn't arrived. How can I rate a book I didn't receive? I wish to delete this book and substitute another but find no procedure to do this. Can you help me do this?

Great Guide.......1999-04-06

This is really a terrific resource, especially for an investing novice like myself. I would urge anyone who wants to start investing and have no clue how too get this book. It clears up so much confusion and answers so many questions. Its paid for itself and then some already.

Great book for beginners; just use patience.......1999-02-19

This book (which comes out in an updated version every year) is a great way to learn about financial planning, investing, and so forth. The lessons inside can (and SHOULD) be used by anyone.

It might seem overwhelming at first, because it's over 400 pages. Take it in little bits and pieces. It's easy to read, explains all the different things you can do in investing, and broken down in such a way that it works for small investors or big ones, for long-term retirement planning or for "how to live right now" type financial stuff.

This is the best written, most complete investment guide.......1998-10-14

When it comes to investing, whether in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, Treasuries, CDs, real estate, or marbles (yes, marbles), you've got to know the territory. To do that, get this guide -- the best written, most complete, easiest to understand, regularly updated book on investments.

Book Description

`The present collection of papers in Elgar's Companion series provides a very useful overview of research on the functions and implications of property rights.'
- Wolfgang Grassl, Journal of Markets and Morality

`In 22 well-written chapters, this volume illuminates the major accomplishments of the economics of property rights. While they differ in the scope and extent of their coverage, contributions to this book are focused, carefully researched, well argued, and quite readable. In my judgment, the book takes us to the frontier of the growing stock of knowledge on the origins and consequences of alternative property rights.'
- From the foreword by Steve Pejovich

Economics is a matter of choice and growth, of interaction and exchange among individuals. Because property rights define the rules of these interactions and the objects of exchange, it is vital to fully understand the institutions and implications of the various property-rights regimes. With over 20 original and specially commissioned chapters, this book takes the reader from the historical and moral foundations of the discipline to the frontiers of scholarly research in the field.

This Companion is both an introduction to the economics of property rights and a guide to help understand and analyse policy issues by making use of the powerful conceptual tools offered by this increasingly popular branch of economics. Following a comprehensive introduction by the editor, the book is divided in to three broad sections which examine the birth and evolution of property rights, investigate the relationship between property rights and the law, and explore contemporary economic issues from a property rights perspective. Together, the chapters in the book do not claim to offer a standard solution to the institutional questions raised by the property-rights issue. Instead, they present the theoretical tools and real-world examples needed to allow the reader to develop new ideas and evaluate existing problems.

Non-technical in nature and including a distinguished list of authors from across the spectrum of economic thinking, The Elgar Companion to the Economics of Property Rights makes an invaluable contribution to the literature on economics, law, political science and public choice. For any serious scholar or student of these disciplines, this book will prove to be the ultimate reference companion.

Too many errors of omission and commission ;too expensive.......2005-11-09

This book has a misleading title.The correct title is "The Elgar Companion To Post Keynesian And Institutionalist Economics And Philosophy".One will find the same kinds of articles in this book that one can find published in The Journal of Post Keynesian Economics,The Journal of Economic Issues,and The Cambridge Journal of Economics.Examples would be"Rhetoric and postmodernism in economics","Models in economics","Formalism",and"The conflict between formalism and realisticness in modern economics".All of these articles claim that the use of mathematical and logical methods in economics are based on unreal assumptions which ignore the role of institutions in a changing and evolving political economy.There is some substance to this claim.However,the "solution" given(only use "realist"models) is based on the historicist antinomian fallacy (championed by G Hodgson)that the changing nature of an economy,evolving through time,makes mathematics an inappropriate language to use because it is too narrow and static.Nothing could be further from the truth.The rest of this review will examine two articles in the book.The first is by McCann on probability.The second is by Faulkner and Runde on information and knowledge.McCann's article starts out with a well written enumeration and discussion of the standard axioms and postulates needed to apply the mathematical laws of probability(the addition and multiplication axioms for disjunction and conjunction).Everything goes downhill from this point on.McCann's discussions of Keynes's logical theory of probability are drawn completely from only one chapter of Keynes's A Treatise on Probability(1921;TP),chapter III.This is identical to McCann's approach in his 1994 book and his other varied contributions of essays to books of collected articles. Unfortunately,McCann bases his reading of chapter III of the TP on two error filled reviews written by Frank P Ramsey in 1922 and 1926,respectively.Ramsey's incredible blunder is to argue that Keynes's system of logical probability precludes the use of numbers in the estimation of probabilities,in general.Only some ordinal rankings could be used some of the time.McCann simply repeats this error on pp.453-456, based on the following pages of the 1973 Collected Works edition of the TP:pp.10-11,4,11-18,18-19,32-38,42-43.McCann totally ignores the interval estimate approach of Keynes,mentioned on five different pages of chapter III and completely developed by Keynes in chapter 15(pp.160-163)and chapter 17(pp.186-194)of the TP.This approach is then used as the foundation for Keynes's analysis in Part III of the TP on induction and analogy,which is then made the foundation for Keynes's analysis in Part V of the TP.None of Keynes's results from Part III are possible if the best a decision maker can do some of the time is to rank order some of the ordinal probabilities.McCann's coverage of Ramsey includes an astounding error.McCann claims the following:"Ramsey actually accepts,after a fashion,the necessarianism of Keynes"(McCann,p.458,ft.9).Unfortunately,McCann identifies this "agreement" as relating to applications of the purely mathematical laws of probability.These laws are only operational if the information set is complete,which means it has a weight of evidence,w,=1,where w measures the completeness of the evidence and has been normalized on the unit interval [0,1].This is only a limiting case for Keynes,whereas Ramsey assumes that all probabilities can be treated as if they were based on a w=1.McCann is only correct in the limiting case,which is what Keynes stated in his 1931 eulogy on Ramsey .Keynes yields to Ramsey only in those very special cases where the purely deductive mathematical laws of probability hold .The Faulkner- Runde paper,unfortunately accepts the McCann analysis about a decision maker being able to rank order some of the probabilities some of the time(Faulkner-Runde,p.432).Their discussions of the Tversky-Kahneman heuristic,availability,completely overlooks the fact that decision makers are only using part of the information set and,therefore,are making decisions with a w <1.All of their discussions about limited information search and cost constraints(pp.437-439) were already discussed by Keynes in chapters 6 and 26 of the TP.As Keynes stated,it"...is a very perplexing problem".Neither Faulkner or Runde add anything new to Keynes's fundamental analysis.The potential book buyer is advised to purchase a copy of Keynes's TP or D.Ellsberg's Risk,Ambiguity,and Decision(2001).Ellsberg comes closest to Keynes's viewpoint,as well as developing a more advanced,formal model in the extremely important chapter 7 of his book that incorporates optimism-pessimism while not conflating conservatism(prudent,careful,measured) in decision making with pessimism.

The Elgar Companion To Post Keynesian Economics is very highly recommended to all Business School as well as Economic theory majors at the college or university level.

A good book to read for Post Keynesian true believers.......2005-10-25

This book contains about a 100 2-10 page articles written by Post Keynesian economists(PKers).Post Keynesianism is a school of economics founded by Cambridge economists Joan Robinson,Richard Kahn,Austin Robinson and their American supporter,John Kenneth Galbraith in the early 1970's.Two of their acolytes,Sidney Weintraub and Paul Davidson,founded The Journal of Post Keynesian Economics in the late 1970's.The purpose of the Post Keynesian school is to correct the many technical errors they claim(with no supporting evidence)were committed by John Maynard Keynes in 1936 when he wrote the General Theory(GT).The PKers claim that Keynes was a brilliant ,intuitive innovator and discoverer of new economic ideas who lacked the capability to use mathematical analysis and microeconomic theory to present a formal,technical analysis of what it was he meant to say.PKers concentrate their study of Keynes's GT on chapters 2 and 3 of the GT and chapters III and IV of Keynes's A Treatise on Probability.They claim that Keynes recognized that economic analysis could not be based on formal mathematical modeling.The same holds for applications of probability.They claim that Keynes recognized that ,in general,no numbers could be used in the estimation and calculation of probabilities.All probabilistic analysis in economics,social science, liberal arts,and every day practical decision making must be done using ordinal relationships,which can be done only in some instances due to the existence of uncertainty about the future.At least half of the essays in this book just reexpress what I have summarized above.The rest of the review will be devoted to correcting the errors made in a number of the selections taken at random.Toporowski,in the selection Kaleckian Economics,claims that the problem with Keynes's GT is that the"...microeconomic foundations..are largely absent in Keynes's General Theory.(Their absence had facilitated the neoclassical and monetarist interpretation of Keynesian unemployment as being due to wage inflexibility)..."(2003,p.228).Any competent mathematician can find Keynes's completely worked out microeconomic analysis in chapters 19,20,and 21 of the GT.Toporowski's error reappears in the selection "Effective Demand",written by M.Setterfield.He confuses and conflates Keynes's D,Z,and Y functions.For example,he claims that Z=pO where p is an expected price and O equals real output.Keynes defines D=pO five times on pp.283-284 of the GT,while Z=P +wN,where P equals expected economic profit,w equals the current money wage,and N represents aggregate employment.Only E.Tymoigne's selection,Expectations,escapes error.Finally,O'Donnell's selection,Treatise on Probability,repeats the F.Ramsey error,made many times by Ramsey in two book reviews of Keynes's TPin 1922 and 1926,respectively,that Keynesian probabilities,in general, do not use any numbers.Thus,a decision maker must rely on"Ordinal comparison,which generates the much bigger class of non-numerical probabilities..."(2003,p.362).This directly contradicts Keynes's definition of nonnumerical probability as a probability that lies between two numbers,an upper limit and a lower limit,given on p.160 of chapter 15 of the TP.O'Donnell's errors show up in a number of other selections,such as Non-ergodicity,Uncertainty,and Liquidity.These errors,however,will not matter to the Post Keynesian true believer.

Book Description

Important reference, various authors.......1998-11-22

The book comes in two volumes and consists essentially of solicited articles on various topics central to or important in institutional and evolutionary economics. The books therefore have entries on topics such as lock-in effects, Thorstein Veblen, old and new institutional economics, etc generally written by people who are active in research in that area.

The book is terrific for orienting oneself in these growth areas of economic research, and would be an important reference for university libraries. At the price, it would be prohibitive for most students but would be useful for academics specializing or developing an interest in this area.

The entries are followed by a bibliography to assist you in chasing up further levels of detail as required after reading an entry of interest.

Some entries (Eg Macroeconomics) have several entries from several authors, and it is quite interesting to see the different points of views taken.

Book Description

The Elgar Companion to Neo-Schumpeterian Economics is a cutting-edge collection of specially commissioned contributions highlighting not only the broad scope but also the common ground between all branches of this prolific and fast developing field of economics.

For 25 years economists have been investigating industrial dynamics under the heading of neo-Schumpeterian economics, which has itself become a mature and widely acknowledged discipline in the fields of innovation, knowledge, growth and development economics. The Elgar Companion to Neo-Schumpeterian Economics surveys the achievements of the most visible scholars in this area. The contributions to the Companion give both a brief survey on the various fields of neo-Schumpeterian economics as well as insights into recent research at the scientific frontiers. The book also illustrates the potential of neo-Schumpeterian economics to overcome its so far self-imposed restriction to the domains of technology driven industry dynamics, and to become a comprehensive approach in economics suited for the analysis of development processes in all economic domains. Integrating both the public sector and financial markets, the book focuses on the co-evolutionary processes between the different domains.

As a roadmap for the development of a comprehensive neo-Schumpeterian theory, the Companion will be an invaluable source of reference for researchers in the fields of industrial dynamics and economic growth, and academics and scholars of economics generally. PhD students will find the Companion an indispensable general introduction to the field of neo-Schumpeterian economics. It will also appeal to politicians and consultants engaged in national and international policy as the Companion deals with the highly important and ever topical phenomena of economic development.

Korea: Frozen Hell on Earth.......2001-01-16

Mr. Spiroff's journal of the 18 months he spent on the front lines of the Korean War is a very cut and dry first hand account of the human suffering that took place during this "Military Conflict". The author revisited his memories in 1994 as trouble began to appear again between North and South Korea. His hope is that America would learn from history and not become involved in another countries problems. A must read for any Korean War veteran, historian or enthusiast.

Essential and easy to use.......2005-12-19

I use this book so much in writing, I bought two! Need I say more?

Super! Wonderful! Excellent! Stupendous! Best!.......2005-10-26

A thesaurus is an indispensable aid for writers - sometimes the right word is just on the tip of the tongue (or, more to the case, perhaps the tip of the finger), but refuses to come forward. Sometimes one has high praise for something, but doesn't want to use the word 'super' over and over again.

Roget's thesaurus has multiple styles of entries - main entries highlighted from the text, subentries that are very close relatives of the main entries, secondary entries that lead back to main entries cross-referenced, and variant spelling forms of words. For the main entries, there is a definition of dictionary variety before the synonyms are presented. Sometimes words have multiple meanings, and the synonym for one meaning might be inappropriate for another meaning, so the main entries break down these multiple pieces for ease of use.

Primary entries have definitions, usage examples, and synonyms; secondary entries lack the examples, and cross-reference to major entries. Homographs (words spelled the same way with different meanings) are also split into multiple entries based on this variation of meaning.

Roget's Thesaurus also uses standard dictionary labeling, so that one can identify the part of speech (noun, verb, etc.), as well as other identifying information (slang terms, informal, regional, etc.). Variations are very interesting to discover, as different words have meanings that go beyond their standard usage.

A thesaurus is a very valuable tool for those who wish to increase their vocabulary, as well as increase the richness of their spoken and written language in actual practice - it is not uncommon for one to know the words listed, but to have the presence of mind to use alternative words is another matter. Dipping into a thesaurus on an occasional basis yields rewards; plunging in on a regular basis will really enhance the command of the language.

There are few sources as adequate to the task as Roget's.

Or in other words..........2005-10-03

Although it's quite good* and ultimatly an educational read, I find the plot really slow moving and the author seems to keep repeating himself using bigger and more "profound" words.
The pacing is snail like and I feel the way the wrriter attempts to develop character needs some serious consideration.

* I hate using the word "good" but I couldn't think of any others!
