Business Basics Bestseller 1: The Easy, Interesting, Open-book Look at the Game of Business Numbers! 2nd Edition

Sometimes you want the details of how to do accounting, sometimes you want just a general intro to business.

Search for "Business Basics Bestseller 1" and add it to your consideration. It can be one of your best investments. At less than 150 pages, you can zip through it enjoyably -- then the specifics of keeping books will take on a whole new and important dimension for your business.

Book Description

Does Financial Deregulation Work? studies the process of financial deregulation in the United States. It exposes the basic flaws in the deregulationist approach and advances a new framework for effective financial regulation. Bruce Coggins provides a detailed and comprehensive critique of the reasoning behind deregulation, including marginal analysis and Friedman's monetarism. He challenges this thinking and proposes an alternative set of assumptions drawn from the historical and institutional approach to industrial organization and post-Keynesian monetary theory. The author concludes that stability in financial systems is dependent upon a regulatory regime which focuses on limiting competition and encouraging productive over speculative investment. This book will prove invaluable to financial economists and analysts interested in the controversy over bank deregulation. It will also be of interest to those using post-Keynesian, institutionalist and industrial organization approaches to economic analysis as well as to students and professors of law and regulation and those interested in problems of financial instability.

Book Description

Public Regulation studies the formation of institutions and government policies that regulate industry, offering new data, new contexts, and new tools for analyzing the structure and performance of regulatory activity today. It addresses both how these institutions and policies came into being and how well or poorly they work. The contributors examine them variously, from economic, political, social, and historical points of view.

The eleven original essays propose and demonstrate a wide variety of new techniques for assessing regulatory performance - general equilibrium theory, laboratory methods, the integration of rational expectations and game theory methods with regulations, cost-functions techniques, and probabilistic risk analysis - to reveal new empirical data from a range of regulated industries - agriculture, natural gas, nuclear power, airlines, health and environmental.

Essays in the book's first part - "Design and Formation of Regulatory Regimes" - deal with the shaping of institutions and policies and with the political evolution of regulatory regimes.

The second part of the book - "Assessment of Regulatory Performance" - covers theory and methods, performance and effects.

Elizabeth E. Bailey is Dean of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration at Carnegie-Mellon University. Public Regulation is fourteenth in the series Regulation of Economic Activity, edited by Richard Schmalensee.

From the supplier: Insurance agents oppose pending Minnesota legislation that would enact financial services reform. Three firms in Minnesota, including insurance company ReliaStar, developed the legislation. The legislation would include regulation of insurance underwriting, equal rights dispute resolution for insurance and banking regulators and a definition of insurance.

that students of EU law have comprehensive and up to date text and materials for their study of this fast moving area of law.

Customer Reviews:

Definitive but boring.......2006-04-02

I bought this book because it was recommended by the University of Maastricht (Netherlands) as a textbook to study for the entrance exam that must be passed for non-lawyers to take their Master's course in European Law. I also recently saw it as part of the library of the Munich Intellectual Property Law institute - a program I am also considering.

This book provides definitive coverage of European law and some community institutions. The index, table of cases and acronym definitions are thorough. The history of the European Union and European institutions is laid out and important paragraphs from numerous European Court decisions are quoted and their implications are analyzed.

It is also incredibly boring to read. No author can save the mind-numbing decisions of the European Court. The convoluted and nearly impenetrable language is almost beyond mortal understanding. However, the analysis is also very dry - and while the cause of objectivity is a noble one, an occasional subjective opinion can make a book far more readable. The authors also occasionally refer to cases before explaining them - giving the impression that the book was, at least partially, compiled from previously written articles. This is a bit irritating - particularly in a 3rd edition, you would think that sort of thing would have been filtered out in the previous two versions.

Despite its flaws, this book is useful as a reference and has value for anyone making a serious study of European Law. I would not recommend trying to read it cover-to-cover. How about taking a stand in the next edition? Spice things up a little. In Hartley's, European Union Law in a Global Context, the author makes his point of view known throughout the book, and while the reader may not always agree - it makes the material ever so much more interesting. It would be nice to see something similar from Craig and De Burca, particularly since this book appears to be considered definitive by at least 2 European academic institutions.

Simply The Best.......2004-02-04

I used this book in England where it is the standard text. I'm now studying EU law in the US and am struggling through Bermann, Goebal et al (West 2002). Craig & De Burca is a clear and comprehensive exposition of all the substantive EU law. It also provides some structural background on the EU, though admittedly not as much as the Bermann book and therefore possibly not as much as is necessary for a standard US law school course. Nevertheless for anyone who wants a clearer understanding of EU law, I cannot recommend this book more highly.

Excellent!.......2001-07-18

This is the most detailed and best written textbook on EU law that I have seen so far. I use it as a reference all the time.

usefull.......2000-11-01

i found the book very usefull and helpfull in my EU law graduate studies and i wish we will have a new updated edition of the book.

Book Description

The study of EC law is clearly of central and growing importance within the UK and beyond. A knowledge of EC law is essential within courses on constitutional and administrative law while many substantive law subjects, from competition law to discrimination law, are increasingly affected by
developments in Europe. While there are a numebr of texts dealing both with the instituional and substantive law of the EC, this has not been matched by the production of good, general casebooks on the subject. Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive and wide-ranging case book on EC law which
may also serves as a prime textbook, embracing all major aspects of EC law, of both an institutional and substantive nature. The flexible structure of the book makes it suitable for use in a variety of EC courses, whether the emphasis is on the institutional law of the Community, or on certain
substantive aspects thereof. It may be used as a primary textbook in the study of a given subject or as a supplement to an existing text as well.
Making use of the full range of the available literature, including case law, Treaty provisions and subsequent legislation, while also drawing upon relevant secondary literature from legal periodicals and the writings of political scientists, economists and other scholars who have studied the EC,
the student is provided with a body of material both vast in scope and thorough in detail. Up-to-date documentation emanating from the organs of the Community is included as well, even where this does not take the form of completed legislation, in order to heighten the student's understanding and
awareness of the most current dynamics of policymaking in the EC.
Textual explanations and evaluations of the many differing areas of EC law are related by the authors in detail, facilitating the use of the book as a primary text while enabling students to comprehend particular topics even where the book is used as an accompaniment to an existing text. Throughout
the exegetical and interpretive sections of the text, the underlying theme that the EC must be related to the overall development of the Community as a whole is explored in a variety of ways within the discussion of the institutional and substantive law of the EC.

Book Description

The purpose of this book is to provide students with a clear guide to the main constitutional, institutional and substantive features of EC law. The author considers the nature and effect of Community law, aspects of Community economic and social law as well as remedies and enforcement. Appropriate materials from a wide variety of sources are used throughout to set the law in its political, economic and social context. Attention has focused on such issues of importance as the completion of the internal market, rights and remedies for individuals and changes brought about by the Maastricht Treaty. Since publication of the first edition in 1993, the development of Community law has continued apace. In particular, the ramifications of the Courts Francovich decision on State liability can now be seen in a clearer light. The second edition contains a new postscript on the latest developments in State liability.
