"Spending is not the depletion of wealth, it is the transfer of ownership of money. And that transfer of ownership of money activates the economic activity that creates and maintains wealth."........... The classic work on Macroeconomics by John Maynard Keynes called "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" is notoriously difficult to read. It was my initial goal to attempt to read and fully understand Keynes' work and then to produce a study guide of sorts, in order to make his concepts more accessible. This attempt turned into a major project that took years to accomplish. I believe the result of that effort, this book, captures the essence of the most important concepts Keynes discovered. However, in the process I discovered that, in order to properly understand those concepts, new definitions for currently used terms and new ways of organizing macroeconomic models are necessary. One might think that attempts to do so would just make everything more complicated and difficult to understand, but the opposite is true. The way of organizing and explaining the concepts shown in this book leads to the development of a comprehensive and fully consistent model of macroeconomics, a model that is actually easier to understand. I hope you will agree. This a second edition of this book. Included in this edition are improvements in wording and presentation to make it more readable as well as an improved and expanded treatment of international trade.

Description:The prophets exhort us to defend the poor; but we lionize the rich. They assure us that chariots and missiles cannot save us; yet we seek refuge under their cold shadow. They urge us to forgo idolatry; but we compulsively fetishize the work of our hands. Above all, the prophetic Word warns us that the way to liberation in a world locked down by the spiral of violence, the way to redemption in a world of enslaving addictions, the way to genuine transformation in a world of deadened conscience and numbing conformity, is the way of nonviolent, sacrificial, creative love. But neither polite religion nor society is remotely interested in this--which is why Jesus had to "translate" and "midwife" the prophetic insights for his companions in their historical moment. Dan has done the same for us in ours. As this reading of Exodus attests, he has a keen eye for both text and context, and exegetes both with his life. Thus does he help us shed our denial, connect the dots, and move from our pews to the streets.--from the foreword by Ched MyersEndorsements:"Dan Berrigan has given us a prophetic interpretation of the story of a people's liberation from slavery, contagious violence, and the shocking actions of an ambiguous god. Berrigan has lived out a nonviolent exodus from our own pharaohs. His vision parts the waters of empires past and present. This prophet, like Isaiah, sees a divinely given way from the divisive exodus of our spiritual ancestors to the hope of a promised land for everyone."--James Douglass, Catholic Worker, Founder of Mary's House and Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action "The retrieval of the prophetic in Christian faith and practice is an underlying theme of the renewal and revisioning in today's grassroots Catholicism. Perhaps the prophetic voice of our time is that of Daniel Berrigan, SJ, whose insightful writing and courageous vision has now become the blending of activism and mystic wisdom. Berrigan on Exodus--a profound journey back to the very roots of our tradition and a clarion call to let ourselves be freed and chosen for God's work today."--Robert A. Ludwig, Director of the Institute of Pastoral Studies at Loyola University Chicago"In this lyrical, powerful, and dangerous reading of the second book of Moses, Daniel Berrigan does more than explicate or comment upon the text. Instead, heinvites us to fulfill the text through our own questions, reverence and, as Berrigan says, indignation. To read Exodus is to truly participate in the mystery of Scripture. A beautiful, challenging, and invigorating work by one of our most fearless and tenacious contemporary prophets."--Karin Holsinger Sherman, author of A Question ofBeing: The Integration of Resistance and Contemplation in James Douglass's Theology of NonviolenceAbout the Contributor(s):Daniel Berrigan is an internationally known voice for peace and disarmament.

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: In dieser Diplomarbeit werden zwei Begriffe der E-Business-Welt betrachtet, die zur Zeit in aller Munde sind: Portale und virtuelle Marktplätze. Die Begeisterung für die neuen Treffpunkte im Internet ist groß, und besonders der industrielle Sektor wird durch die in dem Zusammenhang propagierten neuen Möglichkeiten der Geschäftsabwicklung in eine kaum gekannte Aufbruchsstimmung versetzt. Wie auf Marktplätzen der realen Welt sollen sich auf dem virtuellen Gegenpart viele Anbieter und Nachfrager treffen und regen Handel betreiben. Zur Zeit ist der elektronische Markt allerdings noch von punktuellen Ein- und Verkaufslösungen geprägt, bei denen jeweils nur einzelne Teile der Geschäftsbeziehungen zwischen zwei Unternehmen vom Offline in das Online übertragen werden. Obwohl diese Lösungen durchaus erfolgreich sind, versprechen sich alle Internet-Dienstleister ein viel größeres Potenzial davon, viele Anbieter und Nachfrager an einem zentralen Punkt, wie im realen Leben, auf einem Marktplatz zusammenzubringen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, ein Konzept zum Aufbau und Aussehen eines virtuellen Marktplatzes vorzustellen und die Potenziale und Gefahren eines solchen Marktplatzes festzustellen. Es soll zudem definieren, wie zum Teil bereits bestehende Komponenten (Geschäftsmodelle, Dienste, Systeme, Techniken) sowie neu zu definierende Dienste kombiniert werden müssen, um die Vision eines virtuellen Marktplatzes zu realisieren. Im Konzept werden hierzu alle zur Durchführung eines Geschäftsprozesses benötigten Marktplatzdienste auf einem virtuellen Marktplatz dargestellt. Diese bilden die Stützpfeiler des Marktplatzes und stellen damit auch die Funktionalitäten dar, die bei einer kritischen Betrachtung der ersten nun entstehenden virtuellen Marktplätze beurteilt werden müssen. Es wird ebenfalls gezeigt, welche Anforderungen die definierten Marktplatzdienste an die technische Plattform und die Marktteilnehmer stellen. So müssen Standards, wie XML, für den Datenaustausch geschaffen werden, damit die Unternehmen direkt aus ihren an den Marktplatz angebundenen betriebswirtschaftlichen Anwendungen heraus Daten und elektronische Dokumente austauschen können. Lösungsansätze zur Standardisierung und speziell für die technische Integration eines Marktplatzes in die vorhandene IT-Infrastruktur eines Unternehmens werden am Beispiel des bekannten ERP-Systems SAP R/3 im letzten Teil der Arbeit vorgestellt und [¿]
