[Zhou]'s proposal is China's way of making clear that it is worried that the Fed's response to the crisis -- printing loads of money -- will hurt the dollar and hence the value of China's huge foreign reserves, of which around two-thirds are in dollars. The SDR was created in 1969, during the Bretton Woods fixed exchange-rate system, because of concerns that there was insufficient liquidity to support global economic activity. It was originally intended as a reserve currency, but is now mainly used in the accounts for the IMF's transactions with member countries. SDRs are allocated to IMF members on the basis of their contribution to the fund. Zhou praised John Maynard Keynes' proposal in the 1940s for an international currency, the "Bancor," based on commodities. But as Mark Williams o...

The service economy is an essential part of the national economy, thus the acceleration of the development of the service economy has become a hot topic in the field of economic research and a consensus all over the world. Since the adoption of reform and opening policies, China's service economy has entered a new era of rapid development, especially in recent years. Notwithstanding, there are several domestic scholars considering that China's service economy not only lag behind the developed countries but also many developing countries. Through the comparison of several developed countries and developing countries, this paper analyses the real level of the development of China's service economy. This paper finds out that China's service economy is not simply backward and slow, which me...

In particular, we emphasize continued bilateral support and multilateral initiatives in response to requests expressed from the region; and for formal institutional mechanisms that ensure elections are meaningful expressions of the sovereignty of the people, that power is expressed in accordance with the rule of law, and that economic growth and social policies deliver equitable benefits in the diverse states of the Americas. From the outset it was evident that the success or failure of electoral democracy and economic reform would depend not only on holding periodic elections and getting the economic policies "right," but also on improving state capacity; and that in a region characterized by vast inequalities of wealth and power, with a long history of regime instability and cycles o...

This study addresses the extent of change and regional differences in gender roles in the Vietnamese family based on innovative surveys in northern and southern Vietnam. The similarities and differences in political, economic, and social histories between northern and southern Vietnam provide a compelling setting to investigate the impact of socialist policies and the recent shift from a centrally planned to a market economy on gender stratification in the domestic spheres. We assess determinants of the gender division of household labor among three marriage cohorts that underwent early marital years during 1) the Vietnam War and mass mobilization, 2) nationwide socialist collectivization and economic stagnation, and 3) market reform. We find that Vietnamese wives still do the vast majo...

Beijing's strong response to Canadian protests about human rights in general in China and the treatment of Mr. Celil in particular show that the country's Communist rulers are sensitive to such accusations. There is a good reason for that. China's economic revolution has taken place almost in a human rights vacuum. Beijing's rulers saw the collapse of the Communist system in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe that accompanied economic reform and learned from it. From the suppression of the Falun Gong to the censorship -- the co-opting, in fact -- of the Internet to persecution of ethnic minorities, China's repression is brutal and unrelenting. It fights foreign pressure to reform with bribery -- look how many widgets you can sell here, how much money you can make -- and it often works.

To be fair, Canada's West has benefited from a commodities and resource boom while Ontario's natural resource sector -- forestry -- has been the victim of a high dollar, aging infrastructure and declining demand. About 20 per cent of Ontario's GDP originates in manufacturing, and job creation in Ontario has been dragged down by declines in this sector. To make matters worse, Ontario has embarked on a public sector revenue spree that hurts competitiveness. Over the period 2003-07, Ontario's GDP increased by 17 per cent while provincial government revenues rose 35 per cent and expenditures 24 per cent. Ontario has become a more heavily taxed jurisdiction and increased public spending, yet curiously still ranks near the bottom in provincial per capita rankings of university funding, has a...

Regulating administrative monopoly is the major task of China's "anti-monopoly law" and the greatest challenge in its enforcement. "Anti-monopoly law" has done a special chapter on administrative monopoly for the first time, which is a significant breakthrough of our country's legislation on the regulation of administrative monopoly. But, after all, "anti-monopoly law" is a new law, and due to the limitations of legislation, there are many system deficiencies, on the regulation of administrative monopoly in China's "Anti-monopoly law", which make it can not fully come into play. So, it is necessary to perfect the measures that can make up for the system deficiencies.

Recent studies of publication patterns in accounting history portray a myopic and introspective discipline. Analyses reveal the production and dissemination of accounting history knowledge which focus predominantly on Anglo-American settings and the age of modernity. Limited opportunities exist for contributions from scholars working in languages other than English. Many of the practitioners of accounting history are also shown to be substantially disconnected from the wider community of historians. It is argued in the current paper that interdisciplinary history has the potential to enhance theoretical and methodological creativity and greater inclusivity in the accounting history academy. A practical requirement for this venture is the identification of points of connectedness between...
