Creating a New World Economy: Forces of Change and Plans for Action

How is the global economy affected by increased militarization, inequality between nations and classes, environmental degradation, and U.S. economic decline? What are the current debates and issues? Can free enterprise and government deregulation solve global economic problems? As the world's attention is focused on the global economy, 25 activist economists address these and many other questions. Essays in "Creating a New World Economy" describe in accessible language such complex topics as the international debt, Keynesianism, trade policy, immigration, and drug trade. In addition to analyzing current topics and debates, contributors also offer alternative strategies on topics frequently neglected in traditional economics curricula. Essays explain development strategies and markets in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Japan. For students, activists, and general readers, this timely collection explains national and international economic dilemmas that will increasingly challenge us in the next century. Author note: Gerald Epstein is Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and a staff economist for the Center for Popular Economics. Julie Graham is Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and a staff economist for the Center for Popular Economics. Jessica Nembhardt specializes in international finances, macroeconomic policy, and development. She received her Ph.D. in economics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

The Political Economy of Central Banking: Contested Control and the Power of Finance, Selected Essays of Gerald Epstein

'Monetary policy is not just a matter of optimal stabilization policy; it is also fundamentally a matter of politics. But while this observation is commonplace, it is not adequately incorporated into economists' reasoning and analysis. Gerald Epstein's work represents perhaps the most prominent exception to this last rule. Reading him provides a salutary reminder that we need to pay closer attention to this political aspect when thinking about central banks and what they do.' - Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley, US
 Central banks are among the most powerful government economic institutions in the world. This volume explores the economic and political contours of the struggle for influence over the policies of central banks such as the Federal Reserve, and the implications of this struggle for economic performance and the distribution of wealth and power in society.
 Written over several decades by Gerald Epstein and co-authors, these works explore why central banks do what they do, and how they could better operate. Epstein shows that central banks are a contested terrain over which major economic and political groups fight for control; and demonstrates that though in the US and most other countries, private bankers have the upper-hand in this political struggle, they don t always win.
 Graduate students, faculty and advanced undergraduates in economics, political science and sociology who are interested in central banking and finance as well as specialists who focus on central banking will find greater understanding of central banks through The Political Economy of Central Banking.

Gerald Epstein, M.D., a leading pioneer in the field of mindbody medicine, introduces a breakthrough book that can quite literally save - and perhaps indefinitely extend -- your life. In Healing into Immortality, Dr. Epstein outlines a proven program of self-healing based on 45 years of clinical practice and a lifetime of investigation into the role of the mind as the source of illness and health. Physical symptoms are only the outward manifestation of a mind and body out of synch with spirit. Through the power of mental imagery, will and memory we can restore ourselves to wholeness, heal virtually every kind of disease and prevent illness. Utilizing the healing stories of the Bible and western spiritual practices, Dr. Epstein has revived a tradition of healing more than five thousand years old. Complete with case histories, exercises, and visualizations, here is the definitive guide to using your mind to heal your body.
