Managerial economics
"Now in its sixth edition, Ivan Png's Managerial Economics has been extensively revised with an introductory chapter emphasizing decision-making and behavioral biases, intensive application to current business and economic issues including technology, globalization, and pandemics, a closing chapter highlighting business responses to climate change, as well as a streamlined presentation focusing on the economics that managers need to know. As always, the text presents the key concepts of microeconomics intuitively, without sophisticated mathematics. Throughout, it emphasizes actual management applications. The new sixth edition is updated with fresh up-to-date vignettes and discussion questions from all over the world and enhanced with detailed instructor supplements. It is an ideal text for any course focusing on the practical application of microeconomic principles to management. Truly useful economics for managers. In the words of one professor, "I can use your book for serious conversation with adult students.""--

The misruling elites: the state, local elites, and the social geography of the Chinese Revolution

AbstractThe existing scholarship has developed six main explanations to account for the success of the Chinese Revolution, which has been anomalous for major paradigms derived from cross-national comparisons. Methodologically, we use a social geographical approach to test these existing explanations systematically by constructing and analyzing a unique dataset of Communist growth in 93 counties in the three most contested provinces during its most pivotal period of ascendence. Theoretically, we advance and test an alternative perspective, based on the groundwork of Tocqueville and Fei Xiaotong, that integrates the state-centric theory, elite theory, and cultural analysis. Our perspective emphasizes the interplay between state centralization and local elite structure, which leads to intensified state extraction and local elite fracturing, thus creating favorable conditions for revolution. The quantitative analysis strongly supports the importance of the Japanese invasion but provides limited support for many other conventional explanations. The analysis largely confirms the Tocqueville-Fei perspective on state centralization, elite fracturing, cultural change, and revolution. The findings are buttressed by a detailed case study of Lianshui County. The study unveils a common structural challenge that a modernizing state faces in an agrarian status society, to recreate its political legitimacy while disrupting local elite structure. It also sheds historical light on the evolution of state-society relationship through the Chinese Revolution.
