Sommario/riassunto

In Apocalypse Now?, Duncan Forrester argues that disorders and atrocities including the Gulag, the Holocaust, 9/11, the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and the Tsunami disaster have shown us that we stand in the midst of an apocalyptic age of terror with striking similarities to the time in which Christianity was born. He asks how religious ideas can play a positive role in the midst of conflicts and disasters and argues that there are huge resources in the Christian tradition that can be productively deployed for a constructive and faithful response.

Sommario/riassunto

For several decades, fast-growing East Asia has been the envy of the developing world. Not only has East Asia outperformed all other regions of the world, but it also recovered surprisingly swiftly from the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis and the 2008-09 global financial crisis. Nevertheless, investment in the region remains subdued relative to pre-Asian crisis levels. Are current investment rates too low and, given greater investment, could the region grow even more rapidly? This book brings together a rich array of papers analyzing the determinants of, and impediments to, investment
