An elegant synthesis of key research on the globalization of production and its relation to wage movements.
In the early 1990s, trade and labor economists, noting the fall in wages for low-skilled workers relative to high-skilled workers, began to debate the impact of trade on wages. This debate--which led to a sometimes heated exchange on the role of trade versus the role of technological change in explaining wage movements--continues today, with the focus now shifting to workers in the middle of the wage distribution. In Offshoring in the Global Economy, noted economist Robert Feenstra offers a synthesis of fifteen years of research--linking his own work to related research by others--on the globalization of production and its relation to wage movements. Feenstra first contrasts the views of trade economists Paul Krugman and Edward Leamer, who both relied (to different ends) on the Heckscher--Ohlin model. He then examines the new type of trade models focusing on the transfer of production processes across countries. Feenstra suggests a new calculation of the factor content of trade that demonstrates the durability of the Heckscher--Ohlin model. Feenstra then examines the macroeconomics of offshoring, focusing on business cycle volatility, prices, and productivity. Finally, he discusses the broader implications of both empirical and theoretical work on offshoring and suggests directions for future research.

Описание:
The hidden history of African uranium and what it means -- for a state, an object, an industry, a workplace -- to be "nuclear."
Uranium from Africa has long been a major source of fuel for nuclear power and atomic weapons, including the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. In 2003, after the infamous "yellow cake from Niger," Africa suddenly became notorious as a source of uranium, a component of nuclear weapons. But did that admit Niger, or any of Africa's other uranium-producing countries, to the select society of nuclear states? Does uranium itself count as a nuclear thing? In this book, Gabrielle Hecht lucidly probes the question of what it means for something -- a state, an object, an industry, a workplace -- to be "nuclear."
Hecht shows that questions about being nuclear -- a state that she calls "nuclearity" -- lie at the heart of today's global nuclear order and the relationships between "developing nations" (often former colonies) and "nuclear powers" (often former colonizers). Hecht enters African nuclear worlds, focusing on miners and the occupational hazard of radiation exposure. Could a mine be a nuclear workplace if (as in some South African mines) its radiation levels went undetected and unmeasured? With this book, Hecht is the first to put Africa in the nuclear world, and the nuclear world in Africa. By doing so, she remakes our understanding of the nuclear age.

Professor Pippy P. Poopypants may be the greatest scientific genius the world has ever known. Unfortunately, he has such a silly name that nobody takes him seriously! He`s been laughed out of every major university in the world.
In fact, the only place that`ll hire him is Jerome Horwitz Elementary School. Hopefully, nobody at the school will laugh at his name (or make a comic book about him)....
...Because if just one more person makes fun of Poopypants, it might just drive him OFF THE DEEP END!
Needless to say, George and Harold poo-poo Poopypants`s pride -- practically pulverizing it to pieces -- and, hence, Poopypants is preparing to pounce!
Step up to witness a brief encounter of the cottony kind. This looks exactly like a job for The Amazing CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS!

Quien desbaratara los perversos planes de Pipicaca? Un nuevo trabajo para el Capitan Calzoncillos!
Описание: The U.S. dollar`s dominance seems under threat.

Yet, as The Dollar Trap powe
