The central objective of this report is to identify the main impediments to productivity growth faced by Kenyan firms. The top constraints identified by the Kenyan managers were tax rates, access to finance, corruption, security, infrastructure services (electricity and transportation), and business licensing. Kenya has reduced the corporate tax rates in recent years. Nevertheless, objective indicators suggest that the tax burdenDirections in development (Washington, D.C.).Private sector development.InvestmentsKenyaBusiness enterprisesKenyaCorporate cultureKenyaElectronic books.InvestmentsBusiness enterprisesCorporate culture330.96762Iarossi Giuseppe918318MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454337803321An assessment of the investment climate in Kenya2111435UNINA04300nam 22006371 450 99623724930331620231229153559.01-283-12083-6978661312083090-04-20183-110.1163/ej.9789004201293.i-434(CKB)2670000000092671(EBL)717525(SSID)ssj0000502865(PQKBManifestationID)11302639(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000502865(PQKBWorkID)10521657(PQKB)11712326(MiAaPQ)EBC717525(OCoLC)727950106(OCoLC)694616496(nllekb)BRILL9789004201835(PPN)174388616(EXLCZ)99267000000009267120101229d2011 uy 0engurcn#nnn|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPlato and the poetsedited by Pierre Destrée, Fritz-Gregor HerrmannLeiden ;Boston :Brill,2011.1 online resource (xxii, 434 pages)Brill eBook titles 201190-04-20129-7 Includes bibliographical references (p.

Herrmann.Plato’s discussions of poetry and the poets stand at the cradle of Western literary criticism. Plato is, paradoxically, both the philosopher who cites, or alludes to, works of poetry more than any other, and the one who is at the same time the harshest critic of poetry. The nineteen essays presented here aim to offer various avenues to this paradox, and to illuminate the ways poetry and the poets are discussed by Plato throughout his writing career, from the Apology and the Ion to the Laws. As well as throwing new light on old topics, such as mimesis and poetic inspiration, the volume introduces fresh approaches to Plato’s philosophy of poetry and literature.Mnemosyne, Supplements328.Classical poetryHistory and criticismTheory, etcCriticismHistoryGreek poetryHistory and criticismTheory, etcLiteraturePhilosophyHistoryClassical poetryHistory and criticismTheory, etc.CriticismHistory.Greek poetryHistory and criticismTheory, etc.LiteraturePhilosophyHistory.881.0109Destrée Pierre947354Herrmann Fritz-Gregor1224580NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK996237249303316Plato and the poets2843030UNISA04989oam 22011534 450 991079859840332120230808193904.01-4983-5810-11-4755-5837-6(CKB)3710000000735805(MiAaPQ)EBC4518395(Au-PeEL)EBL4518395(CaPaEBR)ebr11391006(CaONFJC)MIL918053(OCoLC)948782468(IMF)TIIEA(EXLCZ)99371000000073580520020129d2016 uf 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierTaming Indian Inflation /Paul Cashin, Rahul AnandWashington, D.C. :International Monetary Fund,2016.1 online resource (244 pages) illustrations1-5135-4125-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.CAUSES OF INFLATION.Inflation dynamics in India: what can we learn from Phillips Curves? /Roberto F.
