Monetær økonomi

For et par hundrede år siden sker der noget afgørende i menneskets historie. Lige pludselig bliver vores levealder fordoblet og velstanden stiger eksplosivt. Op til da levede de fleste mennesker gennem tusindvis af år et liv, der kunne sammenlignes med deres forfædre. En landmand i begyndelsen af det 16. århundrede havde stort set samme levevilkår som en egyptisk landmand for 5.000 år siden eller en hyrde i Jeriko for 11.000 siden.Hvad forklarer den næsten utænkelig forvandling af livskvaliteten både hvad angår sundhed, rigdom og uddannelse? En ændring, der totalt overgår alt andet siden fremkomsten af homo sapiens.I DA MENNESKEHEDEN BLEV TIL tager den anerkendte økonomiprofessor Oded Galor os med ud på en rejse fra menneskehedens tidlige eksistens og frem til i dag. Han undersøger hvorfor mennesket er den eneste art, som nyder en levestandard, der langt overstiger andre arter. Samtidig går han i dybden med, hvorfor vi alligevel ser så megen ulighed verden over.

Hazlitts fokus på ikke-statslige løsninger og hans generelle vægt på frie markeder, individers økonomiske frihed og farerne ved statslig indgriben gør Økonomi i En Lektion lige så relevant og værdifuld i dag, som den har været siden udgivelsen. Bogen indgår i serien fra Paludans forlag som klassiske 5 stjernede bestsellere for ledelse, som ligeledes tæller: Vind venner, indflydelse og fremgang af Dale Carnegie, Peter Plys om ledelse af Roger E. Allen og En sælgers vej til Succes af Frank Bettger

Rethinking fiscal and monetary policy in an economic environment of high debt and low interest rates.Policy makers in advanced economies find themselves in an unusual fiscal environment: debt ratios are historically high, and—once the fight against inflation is won—real interest rates will likely be very low again.  This combination calls for a rethinking of the role of fiscal and monetary policy—and this is just what Olivier Blanchard proposes in Fiscal Policy under Low Interest Rates.There is a wide set of opinions about the direction that fiscal policy should take. Some, pointing to the high debt levels, make debt reduction an absolute priority. Others, pointing to the low interest rates, are less worried; they suggest that there is still fiscal space, and, if justified, further increases in debt should not be ruled out. Blanchard argues that low interest rates decrease not only the fiscal costs of debt but also the welfare costs of debt. At the same time, he shows how low rates decrease the room to maneuver in monetary policy—and thus increase the benefits of using fiscal policy, including deficits and debt, for macroeconomic stabilization. In short, low rates imply lower costs and higher benefits of debt.Having sketched what optimal policy looks like, Blanchard considers three examples of fiscal policy in action: fiscal consolidation in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, the large increase in debt in Japan, and the current US fiscal and monetary policy mix. His conclusions hold practical implications for economic and fiscal policy makers, bankers, and politicians around the world.
