Gender and Race in European Economic Governance
The dominance of certain groups in policy-making and the silence around race and gender in economic policy-making is commonplace to the point of being unremarkable.This book makes what has been unremarkable into something very remarkable.Any analysis of economic governance that ignores gender and race is inherently partial and such exclusion is itself an act of power, one that stabilises dominant ideas and prevents their contestation.This book shows how to overcome such limited analysis, and highlights how an analysis that takes account of the roles played by gender and race enables a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of economic governance in the EU. By focusing on the constitutive nature of racialized and gendered ideas in the narratives and reforms of the late 2000s, Muireann O’Dwyer offers an original study of European economic governance.She shows how an intersectional analysis can be used to answer key questions, in particular through demonstrating how gender and race play essential roles in generating both legitimacy and coherence for individual economic policies and the overall economic governance system. The book draws upon empirical work focused on key policy documents and examines significant discourses of the regime of economic governance: that of the European economic sphere, that of expertise and knowledge, and that of a particular growth model that has to come to dominate European economic policy.It also connects this analysis to broader debates about European integration, and it serves as a practical demonstration of the application of intersectionality to economic policy.

Good Governance and Economic Growth : Complimentary or Problematic?
Governance has been incorporated into the development models of many countries because of its role in ameliorating inequalities in society.This book explores whether good governance boosts or hinders economic growth with perspectives from countries like India, the USA, Nigeria, Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and others, and on groups of developing nations like BRICS and ASEAN. Governance has twin roles within economic systems.The first is where it guides administrators and the second is the normative role where it may act as a stimulus to economic growth and development.With the help of empirical investigations, this book analyses the interrelationships between good governance and inclusive and sustainable economic growth, productive employment, political stability, and decent work for all.It assesses the impact of various governance indicators and policy strategies on the economy and the GDP of countries in the Global North and South.The book also focuses on roadblocks to good governance such as violent conflicts, corruption, international threats and crises and its implication on economic growth.This volume will be of interest to students and researchers of economics, political science, social science, international relations, public administration, and sociology.

How are economic cycles and economic growth related?
Economic cycles and economic growth are closely related. Economic cycles refer to the fluctuations in economic activity, including periods of expansion and contraction. Economic growth, on the other hand, refers to the long-term increase in a country's output of goods and services. During an economic expansion phase of the cycle, there is typically higher economic growth, as businesses invest and consumer spending increases. Conversely, during a contraction phase, economic growth tends to slow down or even turn negative. Therefore, economic cycles can have a significant impact on the overall level of economic growth in a country.

"Equality before, but justice first?"
"Equality before, but justice first" suggests that while equality is important, it should not come at the expense of justice. This phrase emphasizes the need to address systemic injustices and inequalities in order to achieve true equality. It implies that simply treating everyone the same does not necessarily address the underlying issues of discrimination and oppression. Instead, it calls for prioritizing justice in order to create a more equitable society for all.

How does economic growth occur in the economic cycle?
Economic growth occurs in the economic cycle through a combination of factors. During the expansion phase of the cycle, businesses invest in new equipment and technology, leading to increased productivity and output. This increased production leads to higher employment levels and consumer spending, further fueling economic growth. Additionally, during this phase, consumer and business confidence is high, leading to increased investment and spending. Overall, economic growth occurs as a result of increased production, employment, and investment during the expansion phase of the economic cycle.

Women Money Power : The Rise and Fall of Economic Equality
In Women Money Power, financial journalist Josie Cox tells the compelling story of women’s fight for financial freedom, the social and political hurdles that have kept them from equality-?and the work that remains to be done. “A bold, fascinating, and hugely important book. Unforgettable.”-Jonathan Eig, author of King: A Life and The Birth of the Pill“A necessary and riveting read.”-Francesca Donner, former gender director at the New York Times For centuries, women were denied equal access to money and the freedom and power that came with it.They were restricted from owning property or transacting in real estate.Even well into the 20th century, women could not take out their own loans or own bank accounts without their husband’s permission. They could be fired for getting married or pregnant, and if they still had a job, they could be kept from certain roles, restricted from working longer hours, and paid less than men for equal work.It was a raw deal, and women weren’t happy with it. So they pushed back. Women, Money, Power is an inspirational account of brave pioneers who took on social mores and the law, including the “Rosies” who filled industrial jobs vacated by men and helped win WWII, the heiress whose fortune helped create the birth control pill, the brassy investor who broke into the boys’ club of the New York Stock Exchange, and the namesake of landmark equal pay legislation who refused to accept discrimination. But as any woman can tell you, the battle for equality—for money and power—is far from over.Cox delves deep into the challenges women face today and the culture and systems that hold them back.This is a fascinating narrative account of progress, women’s lives, and the work still to be done.

The UK Regional-National Economic Problem : Geography, globalisation and governance
In recent years, the United Kingdom has become a more and more divided society with inequality between the regions as marked as it has ever been.In a landmark analysis of the current state of Britain’s regional development, Philip McCann utilises current statistics, examines historical trends and makes pertinent international comparisons to assess the state of the nation. The UK Regional–National Economic Problem brings attention to the highly centralised, top down governance structure that the UK deploys, and demonstrates that it is less than ideally placed to rectify these inequalities.The ‘North-South’ divide in the UK has never been greater and the rising inequalities are evident in almost all aspects of the economy including productivity, incomes, employment status and wealth.Whilst the traditional economic dominance of London and its hinterland has continued along with relative resilience in the South West of England and Scotland, in contrast the Midlands, the North of England, Northern Ireland and Wales lag behind by most measures of prosperity.This inequality is greatly limiting national economic performance and the fact that Britain has a below average standard of living by European and OECD terms has been ignored.The UK’s economic and governance inequality is unlikely to be fundamentally rebalanced by the current governance and connectivity trends, although this definitive study suggests that some areas of improvement are possible if they are well implemented.This pivotal analysis is essential reading for postgraduate students in economics and urban studies as well as researchers and policy makers in local and central government.

What is the difference between economic system and economic process?
An economic system refers to the structure and organization of an economy, including the institutions, laws, and policies that govern economic activity. It encompasses the overall framework within which economic decisions are made, resources are allocated, and goods and services are produced and distributed. On the other hand, an economic process refers to the specific actions and activities that take place within an economic system, such as production, consumption, investment, and trade. While the economic system sets the rules and parameters for these processes, the economic process involves the day-to-day activities and transactions that drive the economy.
