Book Description
The economics of growth has come a long way since it regained center stage for economists in the mid-1980s. Here for the first time is a series of country studies guided by that research. The thirteen essays, by leading economists, shed light on some of the most important growth puzzles of our time. How did China grow so rapidly despite the absence of full-fledged private property rights? What happened in India after the early 1980s to more than double its growth rate? How did Botswana and Mauritius avoid the problems that other countries in sub--Saharan Africa succumbed to? How did Indonesia manage to grow over three decades despite weak institutions and distorted microeconomic policies and why did it suffer such a collapse after 1997?
What emerges from this collective effort is a deeper understanding of the centrality of institutions. Economies that have performed well over the long term owe their success not to geography or trade, but to institutions that have generated market-oriented incentives, protected property rights, and enabled stability. However, these narratives warn against a cookie-cutter approach to institution building.
The contributors are Daron Acemoglu, Maite Careaga, Gregory Clark, J. Bradford DeLong, Georges de Menil, William Easterly, Ricardo Hausmann, Simon Johnson, Daniel Kaufmann, Massimo Mastruzzi, Ian W. McLean, Lant Pritchett, Yingyi Qian, James A. Robinson, Devesh Roy, Arvind Subramanian, Alan M. Taylor, Jonathan Temple, Barry R. Weingast, Susan Wolcott, and Diego Zavaleta.

Book Description
In this examination of the development of employers' personnel, human resources, and industrial relations policies in Britain in the twentieth century the author focuses on how employers organize the employment relationship, control work relations, and deal with trade unions and industrial relations. He develops an approach that emphasizes the interaction of external market forces, internal management structure and organization, and strategic choices, and argues that British employers' historical adherence to market-based strategies rather than internal strategies has had negative consequences for economic performance and national competitiveness relative to the United States, Germany, and Japan.

Customer Reviews:
Enjoyable book, but............2007-08-02
Nice pictures, and enjoyable to read. But as an actual reference for restoration it is pretty lacking. It varies from being either too general, or in some instances specific to a particular model that you don't own. It either assumes you are a competent backyard mechanic, or that you are new to turning wrenches. The author has apparently never restored a tractor himself, but he has interviewed at least two hobby restorers, and apparently has watched them do a few.
I would rate the book higher (at least 3 stars) if it wasn't titled as an "ultimate restoration" reference. It isn't.
Ultimate Guide of using "Green" to pilfer "GREEN".......2005-09-09
Not Mugh Here, information is scant, lacks detail, content and so on... I've found sales flyers more informative...
Good Overview.......2004-12-09
This book give a very good overview of what to expect if you've never done this kind of work before. It is not a step-by-step road map on how to do the work, but it'll give you an idea of what is in store for you. It's a nice read to get you psyched-up to start a project.

Good resource.......2002-08-30
Being new to the tractor restoation hobby, I found the book to be a good resource for information. The index of salvage yards and parts houses alone was worth the purchase price. I found one of those "hard to find parts" in three phone calls and it was shipped out that day!

From 1892 to 1960, John Deere built exclusively two-cylinder tractors. Big Green promoted these Johnny Poppers with a plethora of merchandise and print advertising intended to grease the wheels with prospective buyers. Today, those giveaways, ads, and merchandise are highly collectible among farm tractor enthusiasts. This illustrated listing provides a photo collage for each group of collectibles, along with a 200-word overview.
