Dambisa Moyo Knihy

Výstižná a čtivá zpráva o současném úpadku hospodářské nadvlády Západu. Jak kvůli chybné hospodářské politice v uplynulých padesáti letech nejvyspělejší a nejbohatší státy světa promarnily své dominantní postavení? Podle ekonomky D. Moyové jsou příčiny hospodářského úpadku tři: za prvé západní svět většinu kapitálu investoval špatně, za druhé pracovní síla na Západě příliš zdražila a za třetí se začala snižovat produktivita obecně. Základním rysem naší společnosti už není inovace a progresivní myšlení. Místo toho jsme krátkozraká a lhostejná civilizace, které nejvíc záleží na spotřebě. Jaká opatření je třeba přijmout? Moyová ve své knize nabízí řešení.

We all know the world's resources the commodities that underpin our daily lives and economies are scarce. But how many of us know what that really means for the global economy today?

A unique insight into the work of corporate boards and why their work is so important in society, by a hugely influential economist who has global recognition[Bokinfo].

'Articulate, self-confident and angry . . . this book marks a turning point' Spectator We all want to help. Over the past fifty years $1 trillion of aid has flowed from Western governments to Africa, with rock stars and actors campaigning for more. But this has not helped Africa. It has ruined it. Dambisa Moyo's excoriating and controversial book reveals why millions are actually poorer because of aid, unable to escape corruption and reduced, in the West's eyes, to a childlike state of beggary. Dead Aid shows us another way. Using hard evidence to illustrate her case, Moyo shows how, with access to capital and with the right policies, even the poorest nations can turn themselves around. First we must destroy the myth that aid works - and make charity history.

Our planet's resources are running out. The media bombards us with constant warnings of impending shortages of fossil fuels, minerals, arable land, and water and the political Armageddon that will result as insatiable global demand far outstrips supply. But how true is this picture?In Winner Take All, Dambisa Moyo cuts through the misconceptions and noise surrounding resource scarcity with a penetrating analysis of what really is at stake. China, Moyo reveals, has embarked on one of the greatest commodity rushes in history. Tracing its breathtaking quest for resources - from Africa to Latin America, North America to Europe - she examines the impact it is having on us all, and its profound implications for our future.

This book charts how over the last 50 years the most advanced and advantaged countries of the world have squandered their dominant position through a sustained catalogue of fundamentally flawed economic policies.

From an internationally acclaimed economist, a provocative call to jump-start economic growth by aggressively overhauling liberal democracy Around the world, people who are angry at stagnant wages and growing inequality have rebelled against established governments and turned to political extremes. Liberal democracy, history's greatest engine of growth, now struggles to overcome unprecedented economic headwinds--from aging populations to scarce resources to unsustainable debt burdens. Hobbled by short-term thinking and ideological dogma, democracies risk falling prey to nationalism and protectionism that will deliver declining living standards. In Edge of Chaos, Dambisa Moyo shows why economic growth is essential to global stability, and why liberal democracies are failing to produce it today. Rather than turning away from democracy, she argues, we must fundamentally reform it. Edge of Chaos presents a radical blueprint for change in order to galvanize growth and ensure the survival of democracy in the twenty-first century.

A partire dagli anni Cinquanta fino ad oggi oltre mille miliardi di dollari sono stati elargiti alle disastrate economie africane. Ma la situazione è ancora difficile: cosa impedisce al continente di affrancarsi da una condizione di povertà cronica? Secondo l’economista africana Dambisa Moyo, la colpa è proprio degli aiuti, un’elemosina che, nella migliore delle ipotesi, costringe l’Africa a una perenne adolescenza economica che la rende dipendente dai Paesi ricchi, e, nella peggiore, contribuisce a diffondere la corruzione. L’alternativa è chiara: seguire l’esempio della Cina, che negli ultimi anni è riuscita a sviluppare una partnership sofisticata ed efficiente con molti Paesi della zona subsahariana. Con le sue rivoluzionarie tesi, Dambisa Moyo pone l’Occidente di fronte ai pregiudizi che sono alla base delle sue “buone azioni”, e lo invita a liberarsene. Allo stesso tempo invita l’Africa a liberarsi dei cosiddetti “aiuti” occidentali che pretendono di essere il rimedio mentre costituiscono il virus stesso di una malattia curabile: la povertà.

Dambisa Moyo wurde vom amerikanischen TIME Magazine zu den 100 einflussreichsten Menschen der Welt gezählt. Die Karriere der gebürtigen Afrikanerin ist (fast) beispiellos global: Aus Sambia geht sie nach Harvard, promoviert in Oxford, erhält einen Topjob bei Goldman Sachs. Aufgrund ihrer einzigartigen Kenntnis hat sie eine aufrüttelnde Botschaft an uns alle. Die Finanzkrise war nur ein kurzes Zwischenspiel – das eigentliche Drama kommt erst noch und heißt: Der Untergang des Westens. Seit Jahren schon produziert der Westen immer weniger und lässt stattdessen arbeiten. Man will immer nur Geld aus Geld machen, wirkliche Waren werden kaum noch hergestellt. Und vor allem: Innovationen finden anderswo statt. Wir leben auf Kosten der anderen. Dambisa Moyo sagt, was wir tun müssen. Und zwar jetzt.
