Product Description
Thebook brings together economic systems and developmenteconomics,offering theoretical foundations and empirical evidence. Itexaminescompetition, technology, governance, public goods, incometransfers,transition, performance, convergence and displacement in arange ofcountries worldwide.
Universalistic economic behaviouroften drives countries to adopt oneparticular economic system. However,it is arguable that theoreticalfoundations and empirical evidenceshould be matched to allow fordistinct behaviours of higher societalorders. Systemic differencesarise from distinct sociological, politicaland economicbehavioural-motivational types that associate withhousehold, state andfirm settings.
This book is a meeting pointbetween economic systems and developmenteconomics, offering theoreticalfoundations and empirical evidence thatsupport the persistence ofdistinct systemic behavioural differencesand developments. The bookaims to explain global differences,transitions and development, andclassifies systems and countries intobehaviourally dominated types,treating rich industrialized countries,transition economies, and worlddeveloping regions separately. Withcoverage of all major regions, thisbook is essential for all lookingfor a comprehensive analysis ofeconomic systems worldwide.
