Book Description

Today at least twenty-five major U.S. cities have pursued some form of sustainability initiative. Although many case studies and "how-to" manuals have been published, there has been little systematic comparison of these cities' programs and initiatives. In this book Kent Portney lays the theoretical groundwork for research on what works and what does not, and why.

Distinguishing cities on the basis of population characteristics and region for his analysis, Portney shows how cities use the broad rubric of sustainability to achieve particular political ends. Cities that take sustainability seriously, such as Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle, use broad definitions that go well beyond concern for the physical environment or creating jobs. They pursue sustainability at many levels and integrate concern for economic development, the environment, and quality of life across all activities of city government. Cities that take sustainability less seriously, such as Cleveland, Boston, and Orlando, confine it to such issues as solid waste disposal, brownfields, redevelopment, and neighborhood beautification. Still other cities, such as New Haven, Brownsville, and Milwaukee, do considerably less to work toward sustainability.

Portney begins by reviewing the conceptual underpinnings of sustainable development and sustainable communities. The comparisons that follow provide a foundation for assessing the range of what is possible and desirable for sustainability initiatives. In the book's conclusion, Portney assesses the extent to which cities can use the pursuit of sustainability either to foster change in public values or merely to reinforce values that are already reflected in systems of governance.

Book Description

In this book, Professors Baumol and Oates provide a rigorous and comprehensive analysis of the economic theory of environmental policy. They present a formal, theoretical treatment of those factors infuencing the quality of life. By covering both the theory of externalities and its application to environmental policy, the authors have retained the basic structure and organization of the first edition, which has become a standard reference in the field. In this edition, however, they have updated their analysis to incorporate recent research in enviromental economics.

Praise for Digital Deflation:

"Technology, productivity, deflation, and wealth creation. It's all here, and Graham Tanaka is right on target!"

--Lawrence Kudlow, CNBC's "Kudlow & Cramer."

"Whether you're bullish, bearish or in between, this is an important book for all investors to read!"

--Dr. Edward Yardeni, Chief Investment Strategist, Prudential Securities

"Once in a great while, an original and thought-provoking book comes along. Digital Deflation is it--a must read!"

--Thomas R. Schwarz, former president and COO, Dunkin' Donuts, Inc.

"Graham Tanaka has sensed, well ahead of most, the issues surrounding the possible emergence of 'deflation.' He demonstrates that our measurement processes, tuned as they are to inflation, are not picking up the declines in real prices that are occurring--and that we are missing the implications for our economy and corporate strategies."

--William C. Dunkelberg, chief economist,

National Federation of Independent Business

"Consumers spend on goods and services with the greatest quality improvement rather than merely responding to price information. Thank Graham Tanaka for laying out this and other valuable insights in Digital Deflation. Read it."

--Wayne Angell, former Federal Reserve Governor

How the "digital revolution" is driving today's economy--and its impact on corporations, government policy, and the stock market

New technologies have transformed how today's economy works. Digital Deflationexamines this new economic environment, from how we got here to where we are going. Eye-opening yet solidly grounded, it explains how low inflation and interest rates, coupled with technology-driven productivity gains, will create massive wealth in the coming decades, and benefit stock market P/E multiples over the long term.

Combining insightful analyses with convincing charts and graphs, Digital Deflationprovides a clear understanding of how digital technologies will continue to alter every aspect of business. Readers will discover:

Why inflation declined so dramatically in the 1980s and 1990s, and is likely to head even lower
New measures of economic activity and how they will affect policy
The laws of digital deflation--how they work and what they mean for corporate decision makers

Customer Reviews:

Doesn't Make Sense.......2004-04-07

Consider, the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers is below 2% and the current Fed Funds rate is 1%. Mr. Tanuka suggests that inflation is mismeasured and should be lower, thus the corrected CPI would be -1 to -2%. Of course the fed would counter by decreasing rates putting our economy solidly in a deflationary period. An awful state Japan has endured for years.

Would that mean the bank would pay me to borrow their money? Would I have to pay the bank to hold my money? This is left unaddressed.

The Europeans have argued for years that the U.S. government has not overstated but, "understated" inflation by using the same fancy tricks that Tanuka wants to use more of. This argument is left unaddressed.

Further, he says that as a result of this digital deflation, stocks should have higher multiples than they have now based on the inverse relationship between inflation and stock prices. But any 1st year math student will tell you that as inflation approaches zero (or negative in this case) the model breaks down.

This silliness and oversimplification I suppose is reflective of what our society has become. Fad based. Everyone wants to try the new diet, everyone wants to get rich quick, and every hack wants to write a book, but unfortunately does not want (or has not the capacity) to do any real thinking. My father always told me that if you don't understand something, then you shouldn't show people how dumb you are by talking. Sage advice Mr. Tanuka.

Keeping inflation down was actually causing deflation.......2004-04-01

His theory points out the government measurement of the state of economy was done with missing key components which are the sources of new economy drivers: digialization. The monetary policy derived from the missing measurement, digital deflation effects, would lead to a bad policy. Indication of low inflation was actually "deflation". Graham Tanaka has an excellent insight!

Everyone should read this book.

Insightful!.......2004-03-01

Imagine that companies throughout the economy had access to new, better technology every year, and made better products without raising prices - in fact, while cutting prices. Now imagine that the regulators and policymakers used outmoded measurements and models that ignored these quality improvements and this downward price trend. Imagine that the Federal Reserve saw a risk of rising prices even when prices were falling. Imagine that the Fed kept tightening the economy unnecessarily, sending interest rates up, slowing growth, inducing stock market crashes and recessions, and doing the opposite of what it should. If you can imagine all this, you have a picture of U.S. economic reality as seen by author Graham Tanaka. It's a picture no one, especially investors, should disregard. We found his book immensely interesting - too long by half, with too many repetitious references to his previous publications (perhaps just his way of saying, "I told you so"), often tendentious and labored, but not to be ignored. Just be cautioned: this sounds somewhat like the bubble speak we heard at the end of 1999 and the beginning of 2000 - other times of strong growth without inflation.

Dow 30,000.......2004-01-08

Sadly, another book like Dow 20,000 attempting to justify the excessive valuations of equities in their portfolio. You'd think one would learn that there is no "new economy" after the last bubble where these technology buffs lost more then half of their assets (perhaps that doesn't mean too much to a portfolio manager, after all it's not their money they're losing), but hope is a good thing, it's just no substitute for research.

Were steel, concrete, railroads, the transatlantic telegraph, aircraft, or electricity any less revolutionary when they appeared? Certainly not. It's just that those with a myopic view of history somehow believe that the era in which they occupy is "new". It may be recent, but it's not new.

Bloody Awful!.......2003-12-10

As an educator of finance I read scores of business book per year (fortunately most of them are provided to me free of charge from the publishers), but it is a rarity that one is so bad that I feel compelled to besmirch it. However I've wasted hours reading this rubble and am irritated that this "book" could make it to publication.

How does Tanaka think that lowering the Fed Funds rate beyond 1% will help? It is a pity that a somewhat educated man has not read Daniel Leigh's "Monetary Policy and the Dangers of Deflation: Lessons from Japan". Additionally, it is a poor all round read and is probably the most redundant thing I've read since Cat in the Hat.

The only deflation I foresee, is the sales price as the publisher is left with piles of unread books. For environmental sake, I hope that if Tanaka ever feels compelled to write again, he will publish his work online and save some more worthy trees.
