House Building

This chapter discusses how politicians have been deceived by faith-based, ideologically predetermined anti-planning arguments from free-market think tanks such as Policy Exchange. While ministers were fixating on the planning system as a barrier to house building, they neglected to do the obvious thing: build houses. In time, the ‘war on planning’, a steady stream of reports supported by seminars, newspaper articles, and private lunches and dinners, began to have an impact. Planning came to be widely blamed for the country's failure to build enough homes and, more generally, for holding back economic development. The chapter then looks at four related issues that help explain why a new approach is needed: the rise and fall of council housing; the economic model of the big developers; the rise and fall of the ‘property-owning democracy’; and land values.

Theoretical Insight

The article presents a new approach to the solution to the paradox of value based on the theory of marginal utility of the Austrian School of Economics. The new approach is based on the theory of compound interests and economic bubbles. The study presents valuable theoretical insight towards sustainable economic development. The paper provides a brief formulation of the theory of compound interests, introduces the structure of compound interests model, and shows the relations between simple and compound interests as well as dimensionless interests. It reveals the saturation phenomena, and emphasizes its impact on economic and financial bubbles. The relation between the value of paradox and the price bubbles is presented. The article also explains the possibilities of the phenomenology of growth in formulating the paradox of saturation and studying the paradox of value. The phenomenological method allows to relate prices and financial and economic bubbles into a general entirety. Therefore, this paper deals with very important sustainable development issues as it discusses the market saturation phenomena, economic bubbles, and emotional consumer behavior. The limitations of behavioral theories are pointed out and their misunderstandings of information cascades are emphasized. The article provides the explanation of the nature of economic bubbles by employing the theory of compound interests.

This paper analyzes the performance of the labour market in the predominantly rural areas of Serbia classified according to the OECD criterion of rurality (<150 inhabitants/km?). The research covers 18 NUTS III areas. The analysis emphasizes the structural problems of the aging population, poor education and unfavourable employment structure in the study area. A survey specifically refers to the consideration of demographic labour market index, directing the public policy actions toward different treatment of different rural areas in Serbia. The specific answer is found in the new approach based on innovativeness and the model of creative rural industrialization.

Airborne Survey

The purpose of this paper is to attempt a broad review of some of the factors that influence the economic development of a country and to illustrate in general terms the importance and the application of airborne survey techniques, as a means of collecting the information on which any sound development must be based.The industrial and agricultural revolution that is now taking place on a world-wide scale demands a completely new approach to the problem of economic development. When economic development was slow and confined to small areas it was sufficient perhaps to base that development on limited information. Today, however, the pace is quickening every year, but the speed with which we are obtaining the information, on which such development must be based, is lagging behind.Why is the present position different from any other epoch in world history? The main cause is the industrial revolution, which has produced rapid means of communication, by air and by radio. The Twentieth Century now lives literally as neighbour to the Stone Age.

Education In China

Continuing education for engineers and technicians (CEE) witnessed some growth during the rapid industrial progress of the 1950s but then remained static in the long period of political turmoil. In recent years, the Chinese government has implemented a new approach to foreign policy and has concentrated its attention on economic development. CEE has developed vigorously and has become more popular than ever before. Eight CEE systems have been formed since 1980, training about one million engineers and technicians every year, and contributing a great deal to the modernization of China.
