Reviews and Prospects of a Unified Currency. Rück- und Ausblicke Auf Eine Einheitliche Währung
About one decade has elapsed since the introduction of the Euro: Has the Euro proved to be a stable currency? Doubts might be left. Large segments of the financial system seem to be coming apart at the seams, bailout plans have been approved. Is even a withdrawal from the European Unification going to be likely? This sounds popular, but this may be an undertaking with an uncertain ending. The contributions do not intend to give rash answers. A strengthening of the Euro is necessary, and should be preferred to its abolition. To make the Euro fit for the future is the order of the day.

The research in this book explores how UK supermarkets have handled the economic recession. There have been casualties from the economic recession but the UK supermarkets industry has not had any victims of the recession. Why is this the case? The answer to this question is revealed in this book.
INTEREST Interest is the price paid for borrowed funds, that is, for hiring and
purchasing of capital. Net interest also called as pure interest is the payment
made exclusively for the use of capital. Gross interest is the gross amount of interest paid for the use of borrowed funds. It is a broader term than net interest
Gross interest = Net interest + payment for risk + management cost +
compensation for inconvenience Time preference theory of interest: This theory
developed by Prof. Fisher is ...
THE AUSTRIAN THEORY Like the monetarist theory (which developed a theory
of the business cycle after it had been used as an explanation of economic
phenomena), the Austrian theory of the business cycle developed from what was
originally a theory of interest rates and their effects on the capital structure.
Application as an explanation of economic fluctuations became obvious since the
central banking mechanism allowed interest rates to be temporarily altered at the
whim of the ...
An Inquiry into Profits, Capital, Credit, Interest, and the Business Cycle
Schumpeter proclaims in this classical analysis of capitalist society first published in 1911 that economics is a natural self-regulating mechanism when undisturbed by "social and other meddlers." In his preface he argues that despite weaknesses, theories are based on logic and provide structure for understanding fact. Of those who argue against him, Schumpeter asks a fundamental question: "Is it really artificial to keep separate the phenomena incidental to running a firm and the phenomena incidental to creating a new one?" In his answers, Schumpeter offers guidance to Third World politicians no less than First World businesspeople. In his substantial new introduction, John E. Elliott discusses the salient ideas of The Theory of Economic Development against the historical background of three great periods of economic thought in the last two decades.

Schumpeter. CHAPTER V INTEREST ON CAPITAL PRELIMINARY REMARKS
AFTER mature consideration I submit for the second time the theory of interest
which I originally published in the first edition of this book, unaltered apart from
quite unimportant verbal changes. To all objections which have come to my
attention my only answer is to refer to the original text. They have merely induced
me not to ...
This book argues that Keynesian economists have betrayed Keynes' theory and policy conclusions, and that the world has been misled about those policies. Keynesians have focused attention on policies for dealing with effects of economic failure as they arise, whereas Keynes was concerned with the cause and then the prevention of economic failure.
Recognition of this relationship opened the path to recognition of the multiple-
equilibrium nature of the economic system, re-enforced the leading role for
investment and led to the decisive rejection of the classical theory of interest.
Linking this development with the first, the release of the saving constraint on
economic activity through the existence of bank money was finally recognised to
affect not only prices in the long run – as Keynes thought up to and including the
Treatise – but ...
