Renowned experts in the field have contributed chapters. The book is organized around four themes: (1) the role and macrofinancial linkages of SWF's, (2) institutional factors, (3) investment approaches and financial markets, and (4) the postcrisis outlook. The book also discusses the challenges facing sovereign wealth funds in the coming years, from an inside perspective on countries, including Canada, Chile, China, Norway, Russia, 606 $aSovereign wealth funds 606 $aInvestment of public funds 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSovereign wealth funds. 615 0$aInvestment of public funds. 676 $a332.67/252 701 $aDas$b Udaibir S$0860107 701 $aHoorn$b Han van der$0860108 701 $aMazarei$b Adnan$f1958-$0860109 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451799803321 996 $aEconomics of sovereign wealth funds$91919118 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02229nam 22003733 450 001 9910795674503321 005 20230629214818.0 010 $a1-62894-478-1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6869435 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6869435 035 $a(CKB)20957448300041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9920957448300041 100 $a20220126d2021 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAmerica the Great and Its Self-Destruction $eViewing the Superpower Through the Lenses of Ancient Confucianism and Chaos Theory 210 1$aNew York :$cAlgora Publishing,$d2021. 210 4$d©2021. 215 $a1 online resource (272 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Zhang, Wei-Bin America the Great and Its Self-Destruction New York : Algora Publishing,c2021 9781628944778 330 $aThe accelerating self-destruction of the United States cannot be hidden when the loss of productivity, loss of faith in government, enflamed identity politics and social fragmentation are constant and are clearly documented. Any national assessment should be grounded in facts, and Prof. Zhang provides a plethora of economic data as a baseline for discussion. The figures and graphs reveal many sides of America that we may generally miss.  In addition, Chinese and other Asians familiar with ancient Confucianism have their own sources of wisdom and commentary to guide them in assessing how they and their neighbors think and behave. Here, a Chinese academic familiar with both worlds shares his impressions and his conclusions. Prof. Zhang juxtaposes the political, economic and cultural behavior of America with sparkling quotes from Confucius, Mencius, Xun Zi, as well as Western classical thinkers from Plato to Quesnay and Weber. The book gives us a new perspective on our country -- with insights as well from Chaos Theory. 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization 676 $a973 700 $aZhang$b Wei-Bin$0265725 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795674503321 996 $aAmerica the Great and Its Self-Destruction$93863564 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04111nam 22006975 450 001 9910299606303321 005 20250609111509.0 010 $a3-319-20043-7 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-20043-9 035 $a(CKB)3710000000476933 035 $a(EBL)4178300 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001584850 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16264554 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001584850 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14866315 035 $a(PQKB)10110772 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-20043-9 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4178300 035 $a(PPN)190533137 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6231820 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000476933 100 $a20150916d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aApplied Control of Electrical Drives $eReal Time Embedded and Sensorless Control using VisSim? and PLECS? /$fby Duco W.

Avoiding involved mathematics whenever practical, this book shows the reader how to implement a range of modern day electrical drive concepts, without requiring in depth programming skills. It allows the user to build and run a series of AC drive concepts, ranging from very basic drives to sophisticated sensorless drives. Hence the book is the only modern resource available that bridges the gap between simulation and the actual experimental environment. Engineers who need to implement an electrical drive, or transition from sensored to sensorless drives, as well as students who need to understand the practical aspects of working with electrical drives, will greatly benefit from this unique reference. 410 0$aPower Systems,$x1612-1287 606 $aEnergy systems 606 $aPower electronics 606 $aAutomatic control 606 $aEnergy Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/115000 606 $aPower Electronics, Electrical Machines and Networks$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24070 606 $aControl and Systems Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T19010 615 0$aEnergy systems. 615 0$aPower electronics. 615 0$aAutomatic control. 615 14$aEnergy Systems. 615 24$aPower Electronics, Electrical Machines and Networks. 615 24$aControl and Systems Theory. 676 $a621.85 700 $aPulle$b Duco W.
