Book Description
When the play began every one paid close attention, for it was a great historical play, and the Japanese go to the theatre and take their children there in order to learn history. There are represented the old wars, the old feuds, the struggle of Daimio against Daimio--in short, the history of old Japan. When an actor gave pleasure, the audience flung their hats on the stage. These were collected by an attendant, and kept until the owners redeemed them by giving a present. For six hours O Hara San and Taro sat in their little box, laughing, shouting, eating, and drinking, while the play went on. Then it was over, for it was only a short play, at a cheap theatre. "Ah!" said their father, "when I was a boy we had real plays.

Liberal order and software-agents - long-established ideas and modern technology are bridged. The impulse for undertaking this effort comes from the observation that it becomes difficult for computer science alone to create order for and within machines. The growing complexity of computer systems, open networks like the Internet, and the increasingly social role of software entities push the traditional quest for total global control out of reach. Economic theory of social order offers extensive experience with such conditions, so that it can complement and guide research in computer science. It is shown that a common understanding between economics and computer science's sub-field of distributed artificial intelligence is possible on the level of software-agents. On this basis, four fundamental problems of social order are encircled: first, the requirement to overcome and prevent state of nature situations in the sense of Thomas Hobbes; second, the necessity to accommodate unpredictable individual actors; third, the challenge of exiting the small worlds of traditional software systems; and fourth, the ambition to reach a transaction cost efficient social order. Economics can contribute to an understanding and to possible solutions of these problems by unfolding the idea of liberal order for software-agents. In a systematic analysis that covers the order of rules, the model of the individual actor, and the order of actions, it is shown that the conditions for liberal order can be created, without exception, in agent-environments.

A Poylcentral Social Order for Machines?.......2001-04-11
As a consequence of scientific specialisation economists tend to know quite little about computer science, and very often IT specialists are igoramuses of sorts in economics. Wagner's study tries successfully to bridge the gap between computer science and modern constitutional and institutional economics. Relying on Nobel-Prize Winner Hayek's seminal work on liberal and selforganizing social order the author gives a very accessible introduction into the prerequisits, principles and achievments of an order, that will most probably be of the greatest importance for the further development of IT: a liberal order of a society of free software-agents serving free human actors.

Book Description
Banking crises occur in both industrial and developing countries, but in Latin America they last longer, affect a larger segment of the banking industry and cost the public more. In Banking Crises in Latin America, distinguished policymakers, academicians and bankers examine the main causes of such crises, how governments can manage them more effectively, and how they can be prevented.
The six sections of the book focus on the salient features of Latin American banking systems, the macroeconomic causes of banking crises, the microeconomic factors leading to bank difficulties, and the particular constraints that make the management of banking crises more complicated in Latin America than in industrial countries. Policy recommendations at both the macro- and microeconomic level aim to improve the resilience of banking systems to unanticipated shocks. The last section of the book turns the focus to experiences of individual countries.
Contributors include Eduardo Aninat, Guillermo Calvo, Michel Camdessus, Sebastian Edwards, Enrique Iglesias, Lawrence Summers and Paul Volcker.
Product Description
Contains new research on the relationship among institutional development, financial development, economic development, boom-bust cycles and banking crisis.

From the supplier: The developing world has been badly hit by three financial crises since the early 1980s. These are the Latin American debt crisis that erupted in 1982, the Mexican currency crisis in 1994-95 and the ongoing Asian economic crisis that started in Jul 1997 when the Thai currency first came under attack. These three crises have a number of similarities, including the significant increase in capital inflows in the months and years leading up to each crisis, the weak state of the financial systems and regulatory regimes of the affected countries, the lack of preparation by investors, the extensive spill over effects, and the use of debt restructuring to achieve economic recovery. They also have a number of differences, including the international economic environment at the time of each crisis. The lessons taught by the Asian crisis are discussed.

Book Description
This volume addresses one of the most topical and controversial issues in banking and financial policy. It explains why governments have felt the need to liberalize banking and finance, for example, by privatizing banks and allowing interest rates to be set by the market. It describes how the consequences have not always been smooth, and considers how financial liberalizations could be approached better in the future. In addition to a clear and concise presentation of current theories and global experience, there are six carefully chosen country case studies.
