Development Finance
Author:P.K Rao;
Improved understanding of the key role of financial aspects in the growth and development of economic systems is an important aspect of economic analysis. This first textbook on development finance provides a comprehensive coverage of this new area of economics. The book integrates relevant theoretical approaches and their policy applications. A unique perspective combines transaction cost economics and neoclassical economics. The author also treats important policy issues of national and international relevance. The roles of public and private finance, domestic and external finance, short-term and long-term capital flows, sovereign debt management features, country risk and other determinants of foreign direct investments, multilateral official development assistance and development of financial institutions are some of the topics examined in this book.
A Year in the Merde
Author:Paul West;
A Year in the Merde is the almost-true account of a year in the life of Paul West, 27, who was hired by a French food company to open a chain of "typically English" tea rooms in Paris.
A Year in the Merde shows the French as they really are. They're not "cheese-eating surrender monkeys", but they do eat a lot of cheese, some of which smells like pigs droppings. Going on strike really is the second most popular participation sport after pétanque. They actually admire Brits and Americans (though they won't admit it too loudly).
And they really do use suppositories.
Paul West gives a laugh-out-loud account of the pleasures and perils of being a Brit in France.Less quaint than A Year in Provence, less chocolatey than Chocolat, this book will tell you how to get the best of the grumpiest Parisian waiter, how to make perfect vinaigrette every time, and how not to buy a house in the French countryside.
The Vital Few vs. The Trivial Many: Invest with the Insiders, not the Masses
Author:George Muzea;
Discover the investing strategies of company insiders-to earn insider-level returns
Investors looking to garner exceptional long-term returns must first learn how to stop following the investment herd, which virtually guarantees average or below-average results. The Vital Few vs. the Trivial Many gives independent investors the knowledge and instincts to tip the investment scales in their favor, by explaining which information is accurate and valuable as opposed to that which is misleading and financially hazardous. The author, praised by Barron's and SmartMoney for his candor and techniques, discusses how to look past media hype to discern what the "Vital Few" or corporate insiders-those who know their companies best-are doing. Muzea then shows investors how to successfully incorporate those techniques into their own portfolios, intelligently evaluating the stock market and finding valuable gems that have yet to be discovered by the masses.
The Winner's Circle
Author:R. J. Shook;
Uncover and invest in the best funds for today and tomorrow
The number of mutual funds investors must choose from is now greater than the number of stocks listed on the NYSE. Selecting the right fund-and, just as important, the best manager-in a turbulent investment arena is more difficult than ever before. Revealing money-management secrets typically reserved for elite investors, top fund managers share their investment approaches, and provide in-depth explanations of their philosophies, disciplines, and backgrounds that can be applied by both individual and professional investors.
