What Do Unions Do? A Twenty-year Perspective

What Do Unions Do? A Twenty-year Perspective

One of the best-known and most-quoted books ever written on labor unions is What Do Unions Do? by Richard Freeman and James Medoff. Published in 1984 the book proved to be a landmark because it provided the most comprehensive and statistically sophisticated empirical portrait of the economic and socio-political effects of unions and a provocative conclusion that unions are on balance beneficial for the economy and society. The present volume represents a twentieth-anniversary retrospective and evaluation of What Do Unions Do? The objectives are threefold: to evaluate and critique the theory evidence and conclusions of Freeman and Medoff; to provide a comprehensive update of the theoretical and empirical literature on unions since the publication of their book; and to offer a balanced assessment and critique of the effects of unions on the economy and society. Toward this end internationally recognized representatives of labor and management cover the gamut of subjects related to unions. Topics covered include the economic theory of unions; the history of economic thought on unions; the effect of unions on wages benefits capital investment productivity income inequality dispute resolution and job satisfaction; the performance of unions in an international perspective; the reasons for the decline of unions; and the future of unions. The volume concludes with a chapter by Richard Freeman in which he assesses the arguments and evidence presented in the other chapters and presents his evaluation of how What Do Unions Do? stands up in the light of twenty years of additional experience and research. This highly readable volume is a state-of-the-art survey by internationally recognized experts on the effects and future of labor unions. It will be the benchmark for years to come. | What Do Unions Do? A Twenty-year Perspective

How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

In the past 15 years a host of critical thinking books have appeared that teach students to find flaws in the arguments of others by learning to detect a number of informal fallacies. This book is not in that tradition. The authors of this book believe that while students learn to become vicious critics they still continue to make the very mistakes they criticize in others. Thus this book has adopted the approach of teaching the construction of good arguments first and then introducing criticism as a secondary skill. Moreover the emphasis of the book is not on learning to name fallacies but on being able to identify weaknesses in an argument so as to be able to construct an effective critique of that argument. The book is accompanied by a workbook featuring a wealth of examples to help students acquire the material. | How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?

Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?

The past ten years have seen local government in the UK facing two major challenges: to survive in the face of Thatcher government hostility and to adapt to enormously powerful forces of economic restructuring which have also been encouraged by government policies. The key aspects of these changing fortunes of British towns explored in this important new book is the ability of individual localities to exercise any control over their own growth and decline. Place Policy and Politics examines local political initiatives seeking to influence economic and social development in seven sharply contrasting localities ranging from the outer council estates of Merseyside to the boom towns of Cheltenham and Swindon. Throughout their analysis the contributors drawn from a wide range of social science disciplines address the vital questions in the debate over local policy initiatives including: To what extent are localities able to harness trends in the national and international economy to provide jobs and a better standard of living for their inhabitants? Why do local authorities vary in their capacity to initiate economic policy? To what extent do national urban and other policies inhibit or encourage their efforts? How might central government modify its policies to facilitate the prospering of localities? | Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?
