Competition Policy in Europe and North America: Harwood Fundamentals of Applied Economics

Book Description

Poverty comparisons--such as assessment of whether poverty has increased, or where it is greatest are typically clouded in conceptual and methodological uncertainties. How should individual well-being be assessed in deciding who is poor? Is a household survey a reliable guide? Where should the poverty line be drawn, and does the choice matter? This monograph surveys the issues that need to be considered in answering these questions. Poverty Comparisons provides an accessible introduction to the most recent literature. The strengths and weaknesses of past methods are discussed, and a summary of methodological recommendations is given. A number of new analytical tools are described which can greatly facilitate poverty comparisons, recognizing the uncertainties involved.
Martin Ravallion is Principal Economist of the Poverty Analysis and Policy Division at the World Bank, Washingtin DC, USA

Customer Reviews:

A big disappointment.......2006-10-27

I was craving for a book that is what this book says it is. If you are, too, I strongly recommend that you give another book a chance and do not waste your money on this one. It's not that the author gives bad advice - the advice is good. But, she just doesn't say much in 200 pages. She says the same thing in 100 different ways, then repeats those again. Chapters are very short, each paragraph is separated with a line or two of space and the font is big. This is all clearly the publisher's trick to extend this book to appear much longer than it should be.
But it is also the content that I disliked. I disliked it so much, I actually skipped about 50 pages towards the end and just jumped to the last chapter to see if I would miss anything - I didn't. Her writing style is more like a transcript of a motivational talk...a motivational talk to a room of children is more like it. She uses rhyming and illiteration constantly, and too many immature adjectives, adverbs and metaphors. Maybe it's just a style that I don't like and you will, but this book is about having trust in yourself enough to leave your current lucrative job to follow your dreams. For something so important, I need to respect the source, and I find it impossible with this author.
Originally, I gave this book some weight because it is written by a woman who is a Harvard law grad and had a great career. But upon reading the book, she really appears to have little intelligence in writing in a way that others can connect to and respect. How can I take this kind of momentous advice from a woman who writes in a 'sing-song' way like she's talking to her 7-yr old niece? And, to boot, writing was HER dream -- if I follow my dream, will I be only mediocre, too?
This review sounds harsh, but I just felt I had to get this review up here since I listened to the other reviews then was completely disappointed. No doubt, this topic is VERY important and if you are thinking of reading about it - GO FOR IT! But I recommend going to someone else to hear what you need to hear.

Best of its kind!.......2003-11-30

Like having a good friend at hand. This articulate, experienced, account travels with me whenever I go to contemplate. For career-changers, mid-lifers, artists, looking for new dimensions, just looking for a breath of fresh air seekers! This single text could replace the entire self-help section! Well worth the time and a place you will re-visit again and again.

This Time I Dance.......2003-05-14

Filled with quotes from her personal journal and splashes of lavender, this book is truly marvelous! Tama tackles head-on the "yes, buts...", "the I can't becauses...", and the other typical blocks to making successful life transitions. I found familiarity in her words, both my own and those of clients. Leave a job without a plan? Yes, proclaims the author, how else are you going to have the energy to follow your path if you are exhausted just getting through the workday? "You will engage the totality of your intelligence to find a means to succeed instead of to tally up and analyze the many ways you could fail."

Unlike other books I've read on the subject of:" finding and doing the work you love", this one encourages the reader to simply trust their inspired yearnings and yield to their inner knowing. Rather than follow a step-by-step process (like so many self help books recommend) Tama suggests you allow yourself time to let the path unfold before you. "..we only tend to find our mission once we take an intermission from the work life that doesn't work." As one who took an "intermission" to pursue my dreams, this book totally re-affirms my path. I recommend it to anyone who has felt "inklings" that there is a way to realize authentic, meaningful work.

She Really Inspires Me.......2003-02-25

This Time I Dance! is absolutely inspirational.

It is not a how-to, but I learned a *lot* about How To. I thought I had read all there was to read about how to do what I love for a living and earn what I deserve and live long and prosper. I have read maybe 25 books or more on the subject.

Tama simply tells her own story in a way that inspires me to live *my* story. Listening to her story makes me feel that I can do this, too. It was obviously written with much love and caring.

DANCE WITH TAMA! READ THIS BOOK AND TRUST...........2002-08-01

I LOVE THIS BOOK! This Time I Dance is both an intimate personal journal and mentoring series of empowering lessons for the dissatisfied worker bee or the burdened professional. This book is for the lonely "closet creative" seeking an experienced coach and walking companion on a path to a more passionate and fearless expression of livelihood. Written with a full array of delicious imagery and savory, insightful prose and laced with inspiriting quotes from well-known fellow travelers, "This Time I Dance" is nothing less than magical. It exposes and celebrates every inner voice begging to be heard amidst the clatter of conformity -- from its deepest vulnerability to its most passionate vision. Through her own story, Tama effectively expresses the imminent joy ready to be birthed in the soulful, pregnant cry for unique self-expression in a society drunk with educational elitism, materialism and mediocre uniformity. With cheers, tears and jeers, Tama took me and can take you on an extraordinary journey of courageous aspiration into true "life-lihood." This is the bible for the creative soul longing for self-expression....it is a journey of faith and trust...I know this personally as a corporate transactional attorney who has a double life as a "creative..."

When her ship didn't come in, she swam out to it!.......2007-09-24

Tama Kieves was a successful Harvard grad/lawyer who walked away from her office with a view and high paying job to do what she most wanted to do. When she made her choice to jump in with both feet, she lowered her expenses and took a waitress job to sustain herself while she followed her dream.

She believes that people can and should be able to make a living doing whatever they are naturally gifted at and love to do. She wrote this book and when it didn't get picked up by a publisher, she self published it and then a major company approached her and bought it.

I have read a lot of self help and "Do what you love.." type books and I have to say that this one is awesome. I couldn't put it down. There is so much good advice on just about every page, and the thing is, it's all stuff she knows because she's experienced it.

I wish I had known that the secret to life is doing what you love to do when I first started working. But then, how would we know what we love if we didn't do all those things that we didn't/don't love in the first place?

This is a great book that I highly recommend and would give as gifts.

As Poetic As It Is Practical.......2007-05-31

Tama J. Kieves is more than an author. At heart, she is a poet. And it really shows in "This Time I Dance!" This book is not only informative, but it is also a pure pleasure to read. From start to finish, it is packed with lush descriptions and magical metaphors that elevate this work of non-fiction to a work of art. "This Time I Dance" will not only inspire you to discover your passion in life and give you some practical suggestions for living your dream, but the pure artistry of its words will start your heart dancing before you even put the book down! This is a book you are going to treasure!

Steven Lane Taylor, Author of Row, Row, Row Your Boat: A Guide For Living Life In The Divine Flow

Very inspirational.......2007-03-31

I loved this book! I finished it feeling inspired to pursue my own dreams of creating a life that my heart is telling me I want to pursue. If you are trying to take a leap of faith into a career or path that scares you and excites you, and if you are tired of trying to figure it out with resources that ask you to endlessly list your interests, talents and abilities to no avail, I'd say buy this book! I'd also recommend Your Heart's Desire by Sonia Choquette if you are having trouble figuring out what it is exactly that you want.

Go For It.......2006-11-15

Being a lot older than Ms. Kieves I look back on the way I lived mine. On the whole I did it her way. I also graduated from college looking forward to a life of working (in physics rather than law but close enough) in a lab or corporation. I found that I hated working for a large organization, especially my time spent in the Army. I also found that I didn't do well there. I tended to speak what I believed rather than what the boss wanted to hear. So I got fired a few times.

It took me a while to find what I wanted to do, run a small company with only me as an employee - along with a few computers. I don't make nearly as much money, but enough. And in 2006 I took off four months to travel. I also started a comunity theater, am active in civic organizations and enjoy life a whole lot more.

Remember the Frank Sinatra song 'My Way?' It's not a bad theme song:

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
'Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way'

Real Inspiration!!.......2006-10-29

I read an earlier edition of This Time I Dance! two years ago while going back and forth with a major career decision. This book, in particular the author's practical(she writes from personal experience)but inspirational writing style, helped me to make the leap I needed to make.

For more inspirational instruction on going for the purpose that wakes you up at night, read Holy Play: The Joyful Adventure of Unleashing Your Divine Purpose.
