Book Description
Hill's secret to success is simple yet effective: be sure of what you want and open the necessary doors to achieve it. We often have the information and ability to know what we need to do to become successful but we may not have the determination or the clarity to do so. The goal of the author consists of illuminating the way and giving key concepts to discover it.
Description in spanish: En su día, Napoleon Hill se convirtió en consejero personal de multitud de aspirantes a millonarios gracias a su libro "Piense y hágase rico".

La tarea de Napoleon Hill consiste en iluminar ese camino y en darnos claves para descubrirlo. En definitiva, el mundo no va a cambiar radicalmente de un día para otro. Somos nosotros quienes debemos cambiar, estar seguros de lo que queremos y abrir las puertas necesarias para conseguirlo. "Hágase rico en un año" supone una nueva entrega de los sabios consejos de Napoleon Hill. 52 consejos del autor de Piense y hágase rico.
Book Description
The Question Is College is about discovering one's true vocation or lifework....and about not always assuming that college must be the next step after high school.
Customer Reviews:
Very helpful and informative.......1999-12-06
I am a parent of two homeschooled teenagers and highly recommend this book not only for teens but for others who are still searching for their "niche" in life. The author gives very practical ideas on helping make decisions about their vocation and does not automatically assume that college is the way to get there.

Description:
We use longitudinal micro data to examine the wage curve for the euro area over the period 1994-2001. The overall unemployment elasticity in the euro area is -0.14. The elasticity varies across groups of workers and along the wage distribution.

Description:
A model of family labor supply provides a rationale for raising minimum wages when the labor-supply response is negative at low wages. Under those circumstances, the labor market can be caught in a Malthusian poverty trap of excess supply (unemployment, overextended workdays, child labor) and falling wages. Raising minimum wages may therefore help resorb this excess supply and stabilize the labor market, setting a ''virtuous'' cycle in motion. In a two-sector context, such a policy would increase wages in both the covered and uncovered sectors. Evidence from a study of Costa Rica, in particular, is consistent with those conclusions.

Description:
We reformulate the traditional AS-AD growth model of the Neoclassical synthesis, stage I, as a disequilibrium approach to aggregate supply analysis, with sticky wages, sticky prices, myopic perfect foresight on current inflation rates, and adaptively formed medium-run expectations concerning the investment and the inflation climate. Both LM curve and an interest rate policy rule are considered. The resulting nonlinear 5D model of labor and goods market disequilibrium avoids striking anomalies of the traditional Neoclassical synthesis AS-AD model. It exhibits instead Keynesian feedback dynamics proper with asymptotic stability for low adjustment speeds and with cyclical loss of stability when some adjustment speeds are sufficiently large. In such cases, downward money wage rigidities serve to make the overall dynamics bounded and thus viable. We thus obtain a baseline D(is equilibrium)AS-AD model with Keynesian feedback channels with a rich set of stability/instability features as sources of the business cycle. The outcomes of the model stand in stark contrast to those of the currently fashionable (closely related) model of the New Keynesian alternative.

Description:
The relationship between wage inflation and unemployment has been extensively investigated since the early work of Phillips [Phillips, A.W., 1958. The relation between unemployment and the rate of change of money wage rates in the U.K. 1861-1957. Economica 25, 283-299] and Lipsey [Lipsey, R.G., 1960. The relation between unemployment and the rate of change of money wage rates in the U.K. 1861-1957: a further analysis. Economica 27, 1-31], and it is still a matter of debate. In this paper we study the dynamics of a standard neoclassical labour market under the simplest Walrasian adjustment rule. We show that when consumption and leisure are sufficiently low substitutes, the unique Walrasian equilibrium of the economy can be destabilised, and regular or even chaotic fluctuations of wages and employment appear. This leads to an interesting resurrection of a real wage Phillips curve as a long-term phenomenon.

Description:
This paper offers a reappraisal of the inflation-unemployment tradeoff, based on frictional growth, describing the interplay between nominal frictions and money growth. When the money supply grows in the presence of price inertia (due to staggered wage contracts with time discounting), the price adjustments to each successive change in the money supply are never able to work themselves out fully. In this context, temporary nominal rigidities let monetary policy have permanent real effects. Although our theory contains no money illusion, no permanent nominal rigidities, and no departure from rational expectations, there is a long-run inflation-unemployment tradeoff. Our empirical analysis suggests that this Phillips curve may be reasonably flat. We show that the persistence of inflation and unemployment, in response to monetary policy shocks, is related to the slope of the long-run Phillips curve.

Book Description
The Wage Curve casts doubt on some of the most important ideas in macroeconomics, labor economics, and regional economics. According to macroeconomic orthodoxy, there is a relationship between unemployment and the rate of change of wages. According to orthodoxy in labor economics and regional economics, an area's wage is positively related to the amount of joblessness in the area. The Wage Curve suggests that both these beliefs are incorrect.
Blanchflower and Oswald argue that the stable relationship is a downward-sloping convex curve linking local unemployment and the level of pay. Their study, which is one of the most intensive in the history of social science, is based on random samples that provide computerized information on nearly four million people from sixteen countries. Throughout, the authors systematically present evidence and possible explanations for their empirical "law" of economics.

Interesting and challenging idea.......2000-06-09
The book provides a well done empirical analysis of several different countries' data on wages and unemployment. Throughout the book, Blanchflower and Oswald confront several different theoretical problems with their picture of the relationship between unemployment and wages. Yet, some definite problems do exist in their empirical and theoretical analysis... most notably their lack of a discussion on the possibility of selection bias.
I liked the book because of their discussion and formalization of a negative relationship between unemployment and wages. Their review of the literature, possible theoretical explanations, and representation of the results are all excellent though at times rather difficult to read. The large amounts of charts and tables provide support to their idea but are at times exhausting to go through. While the book does provide several different theoretical explanations to the relationship between unemployment and wages, it does definitely lack a decisive discussion on what the wage curve actually represents.

Description:
Panel data from the UK are used to estimate a wage curve allowing simultaneously for time, individual, and spatial effects, thereby correcting for grouped and cross-classified data bias. Estimates of the unemployment elasticity of the wage are volatile and imprecise.

Book Description
This collection of four stories, "I Stand Here Ironing," "Hey Sailor, what Ship?," "O Yes," and "Tell me a Riddle," had become an American classic. Since the title novella won the O. Henry Award in 1961, the stories have been anthologized over a hundred times, made into three films, translated into thirteen languages, and - most important - once read, they abide in the hearts of their readers.
Customer Reviews:
Brilliant, sad, and wise.......2006-08-23
Tillie Olsen packs a lifetime of enforced silences into this slender work of art. These are dense and poetic evocations of Joyce and Woolf, but with an added proletarian knife-thrust to the heart.
Powerful.......2005-03-15
"Hey Sailor, What Ship" is the most powerful, concentrated portrayal of alcoholism that I have ever read. Olsen gets inside the mind of a late-stage alcoholic. Her prose seems to stretch and distort as her main character goes on an unplanned bender while on shore leave.
She shows beautiful restraint, too: there is nothing sensational or mawkish here. I am in awe of this story.
Will someone translate this for me please?.......2004-08-03
Tillie Olson is a brilliant woman. She was way ahead of her time, breaking through the constraints binding talented women back then by her sheer persistence and follow-through, becoming recognized as a notable author. Her insights regarding women authors of the 19th century are brilliant. And her story "Tell Me A Riddle" is a classic.
However, her words sometime seem to start from the middle of a conversation, back up against one another, fall over themselves and then make a circuitous route to sometimes puzzling conclusions. "Tell Me A Riddle" occasionally found me shaking my head as if to dislodge some buzzwords that were way too loud and confusing. Although I understood the gist of this powerful story, I found its delivery to be irritating.
Perhaps that is the way Tillie Olsen writes. However, despite the brilliance of her observations, I find her writing style too discordant.
I Sit Here Typing..........2002-05-06
Amazed by her words and writing - the first story, I STAND HERE IRONING - where a mother is mulling over the changes in her and her daughter's lives and relationship. The stories were published in the 50s originally, but were written in a time-free fashion. Get you a copy, you hear?
She has a magic with words.........1998-11-15
Olsen writes stories that are so powerful, and so well-written, you'll want to read them again and again. Although she uses Jewish culture as a backdrop, her talents bring a universaility to her stories which reminds me of Steinbeck in its power, and Morrison in its complexity.
Book Description
Masters of short fiction illumine questions of pain, suffering, medicine, fate, and, most starkly, "Why am I dying?" Circling in psychological time, Tillie Olsen depicts the death of a working-class grandmother, a past proletarian revolutionary in Russia, and how her death devastates her family in mid-twentieth-century America. Leo Tolstoy's cancer-ravaged Czarist bureaucrat weighs his life, searching for semblances of meaning in a linear, realistic story.
