Summary: This book investigates the performance of economic development under different forms of government, ranging from autocratic states to liberal democracies. Starting with a critical review of the literature on social and economic development, including the works of Frank Knight, Max Weber, Joseph Schumpeter and Peter Drucker, it offers a historical analysis of the expansion of markets, cities and trade in medieval Europe, and the monopolization of trade by the emerging European nation states. The book also presents a case study on the rise and decline of the Dutch Republic, discusses topics such as the disadvantages of the central direction of economic organizations, and federal decentralization as a model for promoting growth and investment, and illustrates how successful companies like Semco and Google are building on centuries-old management principlesSummary: 1 Evolution and Economic Development -- 2 Progress and Decline -- 3 Citizens and Knights in the Low Countries and Italy -- 4 Violence and Discourse in the Low Countries (1100-1600) -- 5 The Republic of the 7 United Provinces (1581-1795) -- 6 Discourse and Development in Modern TimesPPN: PPN: 1658677781Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-ECF | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEF
