Globalizing Political Economy or Survey of Accounting

Globalizing Political Economy

Author: Nicola Phillips

Despite its claims to global scope and relevance, International Political Economy as a field of study remains entrenched in a narrow set of theoretical, conceptual and empirical foundations derived from the experiences of the advanced industrialized democracies. Bringing together specially commissioned chapters by leading authorities in each key area of debate, Globalizing Political Economy provides a systematic examination and critique of contemporary IPE, and puts forward a new agenda for a truly "global" political economy.

Survey of Accounting: Study Guide and Working Papers

Author: James D Stic

Most accounting books are difficult for business professionals to learn from, due to too much depth and breadth of coverage. This text makes it easy to train yourself or your employees, since it covers only the financial and managerial accounting concepts they really need to know. Managers and other professionals will get a good working knowledge of both how and why accounting is used in business, and in making informed decisions. Plus, financial and managerial topics are both included, and can be covered independently of each other.
