Hardback. Condition: New. Widely used since the mid-twentieth century, GDP (gross domestic product) has become the world's most powerful statistical indicator of national development and progress. Practically all governments adhere to the idea that GDP growth is a primary economic target, and while criticism of this measure has grown, neither its champions nor its detractors deny its central importance in our political culture. In The Power of a Single Number, Philipp Lepenies recounts the lively history of GDP's political acceptance-and eventual dominance. Locating the origins of GDP measurements in Renaissance England, Lepenies explores the social and political factors that originally hindered its use. It was not until the early 1900s that an ingenuous lone-wolf economist revived and honed GDP's statistical approach.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Leichte Lagerspuren -Wie gelang in England, den USA oder in Frankreich einst der Systemwechsel zur parlamentarischen Demokratie Welche Gründe führten ihre Befürworter an Und warum vollzog sich dieser Wandel in Deutschland erst relativ spät Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, befasst Philipp Lepenies sich mit Wegmarken der Demokratiegeschichte. Zu seinen Protagonisten zählen die englischen Levellers, der Amerikaner James Madison und der Franzose Abbé Sieyès, Georg Forster in Mainz, Friedrich Jucho in Frankfurt und Hugo Preuß in Weimar. Aus dem Wissen um das Werden der Demokratie lassen sich Erkenntnisse gewinnen, die helfen, sich gegen ihr drohendes Vergehen zu stemmen - in einer Zeit, in der sich der Souverän immer häufiger gegen das System entscheidet, das ihm die höchste politische Macht einräumt. 264 pp. Deutsch.…
