The latter half of the l980s proved to be one of the most remarkable periods in European and Soviet contemporary history, offering the military an opportunity to redesign concepts and reshape forces for the future. This book examines the developments taking place within Soviet military doctrine and the way in which the Soviet Union is likely to orchestrate its armed forces in the face of change and modernization. The author is a British Army officer. His interest in Soviet military affairs began as a result of a tour with the Defence Intelligence Staff at the UK Ministry of Defence.

The Rational Consumer: Theory and Evidence

Since the late 1960s, Robert Hall's research has had a significant impact on the macroeconomic study of consumer behavior. The Rational Consumer brings together eight articles that represent key points in the development of Hall's ideas on consumption over the past two decades. In his introduction, Hall puts this work into perspective, tying together his ideas and pointing to how consumer behavior should work in the future given what he has discovered.Working within the standard intertemporal models of consumption - the overlapping generations model and the infinite lifetime model - Hall's contributions to methodology have been especially important. Particularly noteworthy was his challenge to the prevalent model in which current consumption was seen as deriving from expected future income. Hall argued that consumption was, instead, based upon the actual present discounted value of future income.Robert E. Hall is Professor of Economics at Stanford University.Contents: Introduction. The Allocation of Wealth among the Generations of a Family that Lasts Forever - A Theory of Inheritance. The Dynamic Effects of Fiscal Policy in an Economy with Foresight.

Microeconomics: Principles and Applications

Hall, Robert Ernest

Departing from the encyclopedic nature of most Principles texts, which encourages students to simply memorize concepts and see economics as a collection of unrelated terms, formulas, graphs, and theories, this text provides students with a picture of economics as a unified discipline; a set of interrelated tools and ideas that can be used to look at the world in a different way. This book's concise, less is more approach has been carefully crafted in terms of both content and supporting pedagogy to keep students focused on learning and applying the central ideas used in economic analysis. It uniquely employs a simple methodology throughout to emulate how economists look at problems, and teaches students how to use this same analytical process in developing their own economic analysis skills. Hall/Lieberman's careful focus on core theoretical ideas as well as systematically applying the theoretical tools to interesting real-world questions conveys the message that economics is an integrated, powerful body of knowledge that can be used to address important issues.
