Macroeconomic–Theory and Its Failings

Macroeconomic–Theory and Its Failings

Edited By: Steven Kates

This is a book about the global fi nancial crisis and the economic theories that have been used fi rst to understand its causes and thereafter to contain the damage it has brought. But it is more than that. It is a book about the inadequacies of the economic theories that are being used to deal with the present global economic meltdown. The one and only unifying feature of the articles collected together within these covers is that each and every one of the authors disagrees with the standard mainstream neoclassical macroeconomic models that have been applied in attempting to comprehend what has gone on and then, more importantly, have been used to devise policies to bring this recession to an end. This book is thus about the usefulness or otherwise of existing textbook economics to deal with the present crisis. But while all disagree with the standard mainstream model, it should also be understood that the various authors in this collection do not necessarily agree with each other. [download]

Sex and The Brain

 

By: Gillian Einstein

 

There are many assumptions embedded in any established scientific field that make a paper picked up and read at one point in time di‰cult to scrutinize and read critically. Without knowing what ideas have come before and how deeply they are lodged in the formulation of an experiment, one can be judging the depth of a work based on the tip of the iceberg. The purpose of this section is to take you to the early days of the field in which investigators were trying to put a quantifiable spin on the intuition that females and males are di¤erent; but how? and give you the understanding necessary to unpack the assumptions from which papers in subsequent sections build. Papers in Part I take you to the earliest or the most elegant experiments that contributed to these understandings. [download]

Kamasutra–Classic Lovemaking Techniques Reinterpreted for Today’s Lovers

By: Anne Hooper’s

When I was first asked to write a commentary for a new edition of the Kama Sutra, I was less than enthusiastic. In the ’60s and ‘70s there seemed to be dozen of versions of the Kama Sutra. All were removed from my own lifestyle, and I did’nt feel there was much I could relate to in the text. Although I’m fascinated by human sexual nature, I’m not very interested in sex practiced as a style of gymnastics. I would defend freedom for the aficionado of sophisticated sexual positions, but I’ve never felt that atlethic poses had much to do with my own sex life. What’s next. [download]
