Institutions and the Path to the Modern Economy - Lessons from Medieval Trade - Bok av Avner (Stanford University Greif - Häftad

Institutions and the Path to the Modern Economy - Lessons from Medieval Trade - Bok av Avner (Stanford University Greif - Häftad

It is widely believed that current disparities in economic, political, and social outcomes reflect distinct institutions.

Wittgenstein on Music - Bok av Eran Guter - Inbunden
