Austerity
By Florian Schui
Austerity is at the centre of political debates today. Its defenders praise it
as a panacea that will prepare the ground for future growth and stability.
Critics insist it will precipitate a vicious cycle of economic decline, possibly
leading to political collapse. But the notion that abstinence from consumption
brings benefits to states, societies, or individuals is hardly new. This book puts
the debates of our own day in perspective by exploring the long history of
austerity - a popular idea that lives on despite a track record of dismal failure. NF 339.47 SCH

False Economy
By Alan Beattie
Why do oil and diamonds lead to economic disaster more often than boom?
Why doesn’t Africa grow cocaine? Why might believing in God be good for your bal-
ance-sheet? Using the stories of economic triumph and disaster, this title explains
how some countries went wrong while others went right.
“A thorough examination of economies from the age of empire to the age of the IMF. Beattie’s
analysis dazzles with particulars”

Keynes
By Robert Skidelsky
NF 330.15 SKI
As the crash of 1929 plunged the world economy into turmoil,
two men emerged with competing claims on how to restore balance.
John Maynard Keynes, the mercurial Cambridge economist, believed
that government had a duty to spend. He met his opposite in a
little-known Austrian economics professor, Friedrich Hayek, who
considered attempts to intervene pointless and potentially dangerous.
From their first face-to-face encounter to the heated arguments between
their ardent disciples, Nicholas Wapshott unearths the contemporary
relevance of Keynes and Hayek, as present-day arguments over the
virtues of the free market and government intervention rage with the
same ferocity as they did in the 1930s.

What are countries famous for making? For Japan, the answer might be electronic goods. For Germany, automobiles. For France, perhaps a Louis Vuitton bag. But what about Britain?
Here, Evan Davis sets himself the task of finding out. Offering a fascinating look at our manufacturing industries and revealing the various companies that might not be household names, but are very much world leaders in their fields, he shows how we have learnt to spe-cialise in high end and niche areas that are the envy of the world.
Taking in our disappointments and successes, Made in Britain is a brilliantly readable tour of our economic history, exploring the curious blend of resilience, innovation and economic free-thinking that makes us who we are.

How can developing countries grow their economies? Most answers to this question center on what the rich world should or shouldn’t do for the poor world.
In the Quest for Prosperity, Justin Yifu Lin—the first non-Westerner to be chief economist of the World Bank—focuses on what developing nations can do to help themselves.
“The Quest for Prosperity is an important book. Written with verve and clarity, it reflects a deep understanding of global economics issues, and
proposes practical solutions that anyone concerned with the plight of the world’s poor would be wise to read.”
- Robert Fogel,
Nobel Laureate in Economics
