The Rich Get Richer: The Rise of Income Inequality in the U. S. and the Wor

Author: Dennis Duane Braun

This edition is a penetrating and urgent study of the increasing levels of income inequality in the United States and the world. The erosion of the middle class poses a threat to worldwide economic and political stability, as consumers and their children slowly disappear into growing rates of poverty, crime, and violence. Braun examines the economic plight of all people including those in developing nations where a tiny minority controls much of the wealth, and links this inequality to relationships between Third World nations and multinational corporations. This second edition includes new information on the working poor, Mexico and NAFTA, cross-country perceptions of inequality, mass media and political manipulation, and corporations and their overpaid CEOs.

Table of Contents:

1. Why Increasing Inequality is a Danger to Us All. 2. The Battleground of Ideology: Theories and Underlying Values Surrounding the Explanation of Income Inequality. 3. Economic Inequality Around the World. 4. Multinational Corporations: Income Inequality and Basic Needs. 5. Apple Pie and Economic Pie: The American Path to a Smaller Slice. 6. Sunset in the Sunbelt: How Geographic Variation Hides Income Inequality. 7. Dealing From the Top of the Deck: Some Alternatives and Strategies for Needed Change.

C for Business Programming

Author: John C Molluzzo

One of the only books of its kind to focus soley on business applications, this comprehensive introduction to ANSI C programming conforms to the ANSI C standard and is geared for users with little programming experience. Sensibly o rganized, it explains concepts in a clear, understandable language supported by many fully worked-out examples; highlights important definitions, concepts, and rules; and illustrates key ideas in over 70 complete example programs. Contains nearly 600 exercises, experiments and programming problems of varying types and levels of difficulty. Each chapter: includes exercises on the syntax and semantics of C; and provides programming problems ranging from 10- to 20-line programs to full-scale projects that require the use of several user-defined functions—all emphasizing business applications of C. Covers basic data types, variables, arithmetic operators, precedence rules, and the printf() and scanf() functions in short, easily digestible units. Discusses the basic control structures of programming and their applications, covering such topics as indefinite iteration—with a complete analysis of the while statement—, and the if statement in its major application, processing payrolls. Introduces the idea of a function gradually, and includes detailed sections on the four applications that use functions, namely, calculating interest, approving loan applications, calculating commissions, and displaying a table of powers. Examines how to access array elements and process an array correctly. Explains the importance of pointers, using illustrative programs to show how to count characters in a string, display a string in reverse, and count words ina string. Studies typedef and structures, and exlains how to sort and search a table, including both sequential and binary searches. Offers a thorough treatment of file processing in C. For business managers, and those in computer science fields.

Governments, Globalization, and International Business

Author: John H Dunning

It is a cliche to say that we live in a globalized world in which investment flows, communications, and the operations of multinationals from all parts of the world have changed the character of the international business environment. But the easy concept of globalization poses as many questions as it answers. In this book, a prestigious group of international scholars explores in detail the consequences of globalization--defined as "the deepening structural interdependence of the world economy."
