"Following in the tradition of Adam Smith, David Rose provides a modern economic perspective on how 'the wealth of nations' depends on 'a theory of moral sentiments.' This book provides such a theory and explains why all societies attempt to inculcate moral restraints on homo economicus. After reading it you have new insights into how and why morality is so important to economic prosperity." "Gary Fields shows us the lives of the poor in developing countries and explains why so many are condemned to a life of hardship, no matter how hard they work. He also distills some of what's worked around the world and shows that solutions are possible." "This is the third and thoroughly revised edition of a path-breaking analysis of the global banking sector. The authors have succeeded not only in making sense of recent changes in the structure and regulation of the industry, but also in providing an analytical framework for understanding the forces that are shaping current and future developments."
