Review Knowledge Management: Critical Perspectives on Buisness and Management (Critical Perspectives on Business and Management) / RoutledgeFalmer:This collection reprints the major scholarship of new writers with a fresh perspective on the role of knowledge management at team, organizational, and interorganizational levels. Many of the articles and book chapters here take a holistic rather than functional approach, and treat knowledge as the organization's most important source of capital. The materials emphasize the crucial role of human agents, with information technology playing only a secondary or supporting role in knowledge management. That is, only human agents are able to externalize tacit knowledge and combine it dialectically to create a new social reality. As a result, knowledge management draws inspiration and ideas from economics, philosophy, psychology, and sociology.

Review A Financial History of the United States (3-volume set) / M.E. Sharpe:This encyclopedic work chronicles the growth and expansion of banking, securities, and insurance since the colonial period. The author traces the origins of American finance to the older societies of Europe and North Africa, and shows how English merchants transferred their financial systems to America. He explains how financial matters dominated the founding and development of the colonies, and how financial concerns incited the Revolution. And he shows how the Civil War began the transformation of America from a small economy largely dependent on foreign capital into a complex capitalist society. From the Civil War, this account of the nation's financial history proceeds through periods of frenzied speculation, quiet growth, sudden panics, and furious periods of expansion, right up through the incredible growth of the stock market during the 1990s and the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001.

Review John A. Hobson: Critical Assessments of Leading Economists / Routledge:John Atkinson Hobson was a controversial figure in the history of economic thought. As an advocate of an apparently fallacious theory of over-saving, a critic of the orthodox theory of distribution, and a proponent of a theory of imperialism which was later taken up by Lenin, Hobson was generally condemned as a heretic by the rest of the economic establishment. His fortunes changed, rather belatedly, in 1936, when Keynes paid tribute to Hobson's work in The General Theory as anticipating his own theory that society can, under some circumstances, save too large a proportion of its income-thrift then being a vice, not a virtue. Hobson's influence was international and the impact of his writings was widespread. This collection reprints the essential scholarship on Hobson's economic, social and political thought, with helpful introductions which provide the reader with guidance and context.

Review The Economics of Innovation (Critical Concepts in Economics) / Routledge:"The Economics of Innovation" is a new title in the "Routledge Major Works" series, "Critical Concepts in Economics". Edited by Cristiano Antonelli, a leading scholar in the field, it is a four-volume collection of canonical and the best cutting-edge research. Many would argue that the economics of innovation is founded on the work of Joseph Schumpeter (1883-1950), though its origins can also be traced to the writings of Adam Smith (1723-90) and Karl Marx (1818-83). In modern, knowledge-based economies, characterized by rapid innovation, interest in the area has exploded in recent decades and innovation economics is increasingly the object of professional and highly specialized research. The resultant body of scholarly literature is characterized by its multiplicity of perspectives from within economics, and, indeed, across the social sciences as a whole. Furthermore, methodologies borrowed from the natural sciences, such as epidemiology, life-cycle analysis and Darwinian evolution, have also contributed to recent advances. The sheer scale of the growth in the research corpus-and the breadth of the field-makes this collection especially timely and welcome. Volume I ("Innovation and Growth: The Classical Legacy") brings together material from and about the foundational sources of the classical analysis of the endogenous determinants of technical change, with the writings of Smith and Marx providing the two key points of departure. Volume II ("Innovation and Competition: The Schumpeterian Legacy") collects key research following the work of Kenneth J. Arrow (b. [+]
1921), in particular his two 1962 papers on the economics of learning and the economics of knowledge. Schumpeter's contribution to the economics of innovation is unparalleled. A key definition of innovation; an understanding of the concentration of innovation in time and space with the notion of 'gales of creative destruction'; and the analysis of the fundamental role of the corporation are all based on his thinking. Volume III ("Innovation and Knowledge: The Arrovian Legacy") brings together the best - and most influential - work produced in Schumpeter's wake. The material collected in Volume IV ("Innovation and Complexity") elaborates a single approach where innovation is considered as a key emergent property of an economic system recognized as both dynamic and complex, i. e. constituted by heterogeneous components that interact and change both the architecture and the performance of the whole. In this approach innovation is the result of a path-dependent, collective process that takes place in a localized context, if, when and where a sufficient number of creative reactions are made in a coherent, complementary and consistent way. Broadly speaking, this approach is the result of the integration of the strands of analysis identified in the preceding three volumes within the new emerging paradigm of complexity. With a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, "The Economics of Innovation" is an essential collection destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital research resource.
