Disease is presented in the context of family and culture, and the effects of inequality and problems of limited resources are addressed. The authors have a wealth of experience in front line healthcare and provide practical, evidence-based management guidelines for all the common and less common conditions likely to be encountered. This fourth edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate the latest research findings and management guidelines. It includes an expanded section on maternal and child health, but careful editing has generated a slimmer volume, whilst retaining all of the essential content. This is the one essential text for medical students and healthcare professionals wanting a complete and up-to-date reference book on medicine in Africa.MedicineAfricaEpidemiologyAfricaMedicineEpidemiology616.0096Mabey DavidUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910786033403321Principles of medicine in Africa3750860UNINA04972nam 2200721 a 450 991078570350332120200520144314.01-283-65772-40-226-23726-510.7208/9780226237268(CKB)2670000000275441(EBL)1040696(OCoLC)813536027(SSID)ssj0000759260(PQKBManifestationID)12315954(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000759260(PQKBWorkID)10784482(PQKB)11048223(StDuBDS)EDZ0000099435(DE-B1597)524294(OCoLC)990530263(DE-B1597)9780226237268(Au-PeEL)EBL1040696(CaPaEBR)ebr10611370(CaONFJC)MIL397022(NBER)w17687(MiAaPQ)EBC1040696(EXLCZ)99267000000027544120120305d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCapitalizing China[electronic resource] /edited by Joseph P.H.

Its current growth trajectory suggests that the size of its economy could soon surpass that of the United States. Some argue that continued growth and the expanding middle class will ultimately exert pressure on the government to bring about greater openness of the financial market. To better understand China's recent economic performance, this volume examines the distinctive system it has developed: "market socialism with Chinese characteristics." While its formal institutional makeup resembles that of a free-market economy, many of its practices remain socialist, including strategically placed state-owned enterprises that wield influence both directly and through controlled business groups, and Communist Party cells whose purpose is to maintain control of many segments of the economy. China's economic system, the contributors find, also retains many historical characteristics that play a central role in managing the economy. These and other issues are examined in chapters on China's financial regulations, corporate governance codes, bankruptcy laws, taxation, and disclosure rules.NBER-Conference ReportMixed economyChinaChinaEconomic conditions1976-2000ChinaEconomic conditions2000-ChinaEconomic policy1976-2000ChinaEconomic policy2000-china, economics, economic growth, communism, socialism, capitalism, central government planning, middle class, labor, commerce, industry, financial market, state owned business, communist party, regulations, corporate governance codes, bankruptcy laws, taxation, disclosure, mixed economy, public policy, prosperity, nation building, stock markets, securities, capital accumulation, saving rates, banking, finance, nonfiction, history.Mixed economy330.951Fan Joseph P.
