Bearing in mind that the first two economists are the maximum exponents of the Chicago School and the last two of the Austrian School, it is often concluded that the theories of both schools are similar. This book demonstrates that in reality, there is no convergence or complementariness to be found between both schools of thought. The anthropological categories, contributed by Mises, allow us to uFoundations of the Market EconomyInfrastructure (Economics)AsiaInfrastructure (Economics)Pacific AreaAsiaEconomic conditionsPacific AreaEconomic conditionsElectronic books.Infrastructure (Economics)Infrastructure (Economics)330.15330.1553MiAaPQBOOK9910348224003321Liberalism against liberalism1916146UNINA02651nam 2200613Ia 450 991045017900332120200520144314.01-280-50354-897866105035440-8213-6657-2(CKB)1000000000225241(EBL)459561(OCoLC)519334896(SSID)ssj0000086185(PQKBManifestationID)11112774(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000086185(PQKBWorkID)10031018(PQKB)10991160(MiAaPQ)EBC459561(Au-PeEL)EBL459561(CaPaEBR)ebr10130764(CaONFJC)MIL50354(OCoLC)821691869(EXLCZ)99100000000022524120060501d2006 uf 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrDebt relief for the poorest[electronic resource] an evaluation update for the HIPC initiative /Shonar LalaWashington, DC World Bank20061 online resource (98 p.)Independent evaluation studiesDescription based upon print version of record.0-8213-6656-4 Includes bibliographical references.Contents; Acknowledgments; Foreword; Executive Summary; Acronyms and Abbreviations; 1 Introduction; Tables; Boxes; 2 Delivery of Debt Relief; Figures; 3 Prospects for Debt Sustainability; 4 Policy Performance and Poverty Reduction; 5 Findings; Appendixes; Endnotes; ReferencesThis study evaluates progress under the HIPC initiative since IEG's 2003 evaluation. It finds that the Enhanced HIPC initiative cut debt ratios in half for 18 countries, but in eight of these countries, the ratios have come to once again exceed HIPC thresholds. Debt reduction alone is not a sufficient instrument to affect the multiple drivers of debt sustainability. Sustained improvements in export diversification, fiscal management, the terms of new financing, and public debt management are also needed, measures that fall outside the ambit of the HIPC initiative.Independent evaluation studies.Debt reliefDeveloping countriesDebts, ExternalDeveloping countriesElectronic books.Debt reliefDebts, External336.3/6Lala Shonar1973-1043721MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450179003321Debt relief for the poorest2468886UNINA
