Looking backwards in order to peer forwards -- Index , Providing an exceptional overview and analysis of the global economy, from the origins of Homo sapiens to the present day, Colin White explores our past to help understand our economic future. He veers away from traditional Eurocentric approaches, providing a truly global scope for readers. A History of the Global Economy takes a holistic, interdisciplinary approach, beyond the narrow application of economic theory, to include the impact of climate change, genetics and culture. The main themes include the creative innovativeness of humans and how this generates economic progression, the common economic pathway trodden by all societies and the complementary relationship between government and the market. The book moves through the four key economic stages of human history - foraging, agriculture, industry and services - to finally examine where the direction of our future may lie. This comprehensive and ambitious book is a must-read for economists, particularly economic historians, as well as anthropology and political history scholars. It not only explores the history and origins of the global economy but also provides a valuable analysis of the current state of economic affairs, making it an ideal book for those wishing to understand more about our ever-evolving global society

Content: The author examines the relationships between immigration policy, observed immigration patterns, and cultural differences between the United States and immigrants' source countries. The entirety of U.S. immigration history (1607-present) is reviewed through a recounting of related legislative acts and by examining data on immigrant inflows and cross-societal cultural distances. Prior to the Immigration Act of 1965, U.S. policy favored immigration from Europe, particularly Northern and Western Europe. Thus, American culture became similar to the cultures of European societies and of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Changes in U.S. immigration policy during the past half century have resulted in American culture becoming more similar to the cultures of more recent arrivals' source countries (id est, societies in Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa). Tests for structural breaks in the immigrant inflow series and descriptive analysis of the cultural differences between the U.S. and several cohorts of countries reveal fascinating details about this transformation. Population projections for the years 2015-2065 suggest continued cultural change. Corresponding policy implications are discussed. This book is a key resource for faculty, researchers and students along with policymakers, non-academics interested in immigration policy and its history, and readers interested in migration studies, global studies, and cultural studies

Content: "The definitive guide to private equity for investors, finance professionals, managers and business owners. Mastering Private Equity: Growth via Venture Capital, Minority Investments & Buyoutspresents a valuable on-demand tool and unique handbook for investors, finance professionals, managers and business owners looking to engage with private equity or venture firms. The book distills the essence of private equity into core concepts ranging from fundraising over investment process execution to institutional investors building and managing a private equity fund portfolio, always referring to standard market practice across all steps of the private equity life cycle. The book is complimented by Private Equity in Action: Case Studies from Developed and Emerging Markets, an INSEAD case book which provides rich, real-life applications of these core concepts. The complexity of the private equity model continues to confuse industry outsiders, with the success of the industry often attributed either to a mystical “secret sauce” or a ruthless approach to cost cutting and asset stripping. In the authors’ experience, however, the competitive advantage of private equity comes from the diligent application of best practices, as described in this book, a corporate governance model which provides alignment of interest among managers and owners, a keen focus on major drivers of risk and opportunity and, above all, a lot of hard work. This book provides a comprehensive, unbiased guide to investing market practices, enabling its readers to better understand the inner workings of the private equity model. It can equally serve as a standard introduction for investment professionals new to the field, as a reference book for specific steps along the investment process, or as a comprehensive overview of the mechanics of private equity to students of alternative investing. Each diligently researched and concisely presented chapter focuses on one specific aspect of private equity and is complemented by a comment from a guest author, all of whom are seasoned private equity and venture capital professionals or founding partners of established funds. The team of experienced authors ensures the right balance of academic rigor and industry relevancy, given their experience in the world of alternative investments and their regular engagement with both PE investors and the fund managers themselves. The chapters and case studies have been refined through in-class discussion at one of the world’s preeminent business schools, INSEAD, and bolstered by the research engine of the Global Private Equity Initiative (GPEI), a leading private equity research institution"--
