Excerpt from Post-War Economic Policy and Planning, Vol. 5 The fourth report of the House Special Committee on Postwar Economic Policy and Planning, issued September 8, 1944, contained a brief discussion of the principal problems of agriculture in the postwar reconversion period. Shortly after the publication of that report the Subcommittee on Agriculture and Mining undertook a series of hearings to investigate further the problems discussed in the fourth report. As a first step the subcommittee felt it was important to inquire into the longer range goals toward which our agriculture should seek to reconvert. Without a clarification of our objectives in this field it seemed clear-that no constructive national policy could be developed other than one of temporizing with immediate problems and complaints. The subcommittee's inquiry was begun on August 23, 1944, with testimony from Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard and War Food Administrator Marvin Jones. After receiving statements from these two administrative officials, it was felt that a canvass should be made of the views of the leading nongovernmental students of agricultural problems. The bulk of these hearings therefore record the views of some of the people who have been associated with programs for agriculture and have made exhaustive studies of its problems. In inviting its witnesses to appear at the hearings, the subcommittee asked for suggestions upon four basic questions: 1. Basic long-run policies to lessen instability of income resulting from variations in production and in demand; 2. Basic policies to place agriculture on a satisfactory self-sustaining basis in long run; 3. Policies to promote higher levels of consumption and nutrition; and 4. Relationship between our foreign trade policy and domestic agriculture policies. On the basis of this testimony the subcommittee plans to reexamine the major goals to be sought in framing agricultural legislation to the end that specific laws may be coordinated and directed toward more definitely understood goals. One of the assignments of the House Special Committee on Postwar Economic Policy and Planning has been that of studying and reporting to the Congress upon the basic components of a coordinated postwar economic policy for the Nation. It is the plan of this Subcommittee on Agriculture and Mining to examine the problems of agriculture from the points of view both of the farmers themselves and also of the national well-being and the attainment of our goal of a stable and prosperous economy, one which preserves, protects, and promotes freedom, enterprise, and high attainment. The views expressed in this report of hearings contain valuable contributions to this end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

For much of the twentieth century improvement in the situation of disadvantaged communities was a focus for urban planning and policy. Yet over the past three decades the ideological triumph of neoliberalism has caused the allocation of spatial, political, economic, and financial resources to favor economic growth at the expense of wider social benefits. Susan Fainstein's concept of the "just city" encourages planners and policymakers to embrace a different approach to urban development. Her objective is to combine progressive city planners' earlier focus on equity and material well-being with considerations of diversity and participation so as to foster a better quality of urban life within the context of a global capitalist political economy. Fainstein applies theoretical concepts about justice developed by contemporary philosophers to the concrete problems faced by urban planners and policymakers and argues that, despite structural obstacles, meaningful reform can be achieved at the local level. In the first half of The Just City, Fainstein draws on the work of John Rawls, Martha Nussbaum, Iris Marion Young, Nancy Fraser, and others to develop an approach to justice relevant to twenty-first-century cities, one that incorporates three central concepts: diversity, democracy, and equity. In the book's second half, Fainstein tests her ideas through case studies of New York, London, and Amsterdam by evaluating their postwar programs for housing and development in relation to the three norms. She concludes by identifying a set of specific criteria for urban planners and policymakers to consider when developing programs to assure greater justice in both the process of their formulation and their effects.

Early in the twenty-first century, a quiet revolution occurred. For the first time, the major developed economies began to invest more in intangible assets, like design, branding, and software, than in tangible assets, like machinery, buildings, and computers. For all sorts of businesses, the ability to deploy assets that one can neither see nor touch is increasingly the main source of long-term success. But this is not just a familiar story of the so-called new economy. Capitalism without Capital shows that the growing importance of intangible assets has also played a role in some of the larger economic changes of the past decade, including the growth in economic inequality and the stagnation of productivity. Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake explore the unusual economic characteristics of intangible investment and discuss how an economy rich in intangibles is fundamentally different from one based on tangibles. Capitalism without Capital concludes by outlining how managers, investors, and policymakers can exploit the characteristics of an intangible age to grow their businesses, portfolios, and economies.

A classic work in political philosophy, intellectual history and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians and scholars for half a century. Originally published in 1944, it was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. This new edition includes a foreword by series editor and leading Hayek scholar Bruce Caldwell explaining the book's origins and publishing history and assessing common misinterpretations of Hayek's thought. Caldwell has also standardized and corrected Hayek's references and added helpful new explanatory notes. Supplemented with an appendix of related materials and forewords to earlier editions by the likes of Milton Friedman, and Hayek himself, this new edition of The Road to Serfdom will be the definitive version of Friedrich Hayek's enduring masterwork.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize With deft portraits of many world figures, Dean Acheson analyzes the processes of policy making, the necessity for decision, and the role of power and initiative in matters of state. Acheson (1893–1971) was not only present at the creation of the postwar world, he was one of its chief architects. He joined the Department of State in 1941 as Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs and, with brief intermissions, was continuously involved until 1953, when he left office as Secretary of State at the end of the Truman years. Throughout that time Acheson's was one of the most influential minds and strongest wills at work. It was a period that included World War II, the reconstruction of Europe, the Korean War, the development of nuclear power, the formation of the United Nations and NATO. It involved him at close quarters with a cast that starred Truman, Roosevelt, Churchill, de Gaulle, Marshall, MacArthur, Eisenhower, Attlee, Eden Bevin, Schuman, Dulles, de Gasperi, Adenauer, Yoshida, Vishinsky, and Molotov.

Regional economic development has attracted the interest of economists, geographers, planners and regional scientists for a long time. And, of course, it is a field that has developed a large practitioner cohort in government and business agencies from the national down to the state and local levels. In planning for cities and regions, both large and small, economic development issues now tend to be integrated into strategic planning processes. For at least the last 50 years, scholars from various disciplines have theorised about the nature of regional economic development, developing a range of models seeking to explain the process of regional economic development, and why it is that regions vary so much in their economic structure and performance and how these aspects of a region can change dramatically over time. Regional scientists in particular have developed a comprehensive tool-kit of methodologies to measure and monitor regional economic characteristics such as industry sectors, employment, income, value of production, investment, and the like, using both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis, and focusing on both static and dynamic analysis. The 'father of regional science', Walter lsard, was the first to put together a comprehensive volume on techniques of regional analysis (Isard 1960), and since then a huge literature has emerged, including the many titles in the series published by Springer in which this book is published.
