The global and sovereign debt crises have shown that the effect on individual economies of a common economic shock can be very different across the euro area.
At this event José Leandro, from the European Commission, DG ECFIN presented a special edition of the Quarterly Report on the Euro Area. The presentation of the report was followed by comments by Antoine Berthou and Robert Anderton.

"The Economy for the Common Good" comprises the basic elements of an alternative economic framework. It employs three approaches:
1. Market values and social values should no longer oppose each other. The same values that contribute to fulfilling interpersonal relationships should be awarded in the economy.
2. Conformity with the constitution. The economy should function in accordance with the values and objectives established by the constitutions of western democracies, which is currently not the case.
3. Economic success should no longer be measured with monetary indicators (financial profit, GDP), but by what is really important, i.e. utility values (basic needs, quality of life, communal values)
Market values and social values should no longer oppose each other.
The first draft of this model, including the Common Welfare Balance Sheet, was developed between 2009 and 2010 by a dozen entrepreneurs from Austria.
Practical Implementation
In the fiscal year 2011, 60 companies in three countries created the Common Welfare Balance Sheet. They were supported and advised by Common Welfare Consultants; auditors reviewed the Common Welfare Balance Sheet. Towards the end of 2011, the number of pioneers has risen to 150; over 500 companies from 13 countries support the overall process of the Common Welfare Economy.
Overall Process
Increasingly, different working parties are forming around the model and the pioneer companies. Editors, scientists, speakers, ambassadors, ... numerous people offer their skills and knowledge in order to contribute to the joint development of the Common Welfare Economy.
Energy Fields and Communities
In eight countries: Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Spain, Argentina and Honduras -- Energy Fields (regional support groups) have emerged. They surround supporting companies and communicate the idea in their local area. There have been the first requests by communities to become a Common Welfare Community.
Open Process
The model of the Common Welfare Economy is based on two core elements: the Common Welfare Balance Sheet and the 20 Cornerstones. By constantly integrating feedback, we have continually readjusted the model and will do so in the years to come. At the end of this process, economic conventions need to take place, first on a communal level, then on a nationwide level. By popular vote, parts of the model shall be anchored in the constitution.
Participate
Everyone can contribute to the Common Welfare Economy with their specific skills or interests -- be it as a company, as a consumer, as a working party or as an Energy Field, in schools and universities or in residential communities. Every day their number grows. Join the process!

In a challenge to conventional views on modern monetary and fiscal policy, Professor Bill Mitchell of Newcastle University in Australia has emerged as one of the foremost exponents of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), a heterodox challenge to the prevailing paradigms which dominate how mainstream economics is taught and economic policy implemented. In his works, and the interview below, Mitchell presents a coherent analysis of how money is created, how it functions in global exchange rate regimes, and how the mystification of the nature of money has constrained governments, and prevented states from acting in the public interest.

Economic integration reduces or eliminates trade barriers among nations, and coordinates monetary and fiscal policies.
The aim is to reduce costs for consumers and producers, as well as to increase trade between the countries participating in the agreement. The more integrated economies become, the fewer trade barriers exist, and the more politically coordinated they are.
Countries can agree to different levels of economic integration:
A preferential trade agreement is a trading bloc where members reduce or remove tariffs on certain goods imported and exported throughout their region.
A free trade area is a bloc in which countries reduce or remove tariffs on all goods among member nations. An example is the North American Free Trade Agreement.
In a customs union, member countries reduce or remove tariffs among themselves and impose a common tariff against non-member countries.
Countries involved in a common markets bloc freely exchange all goods, services, labor and capital.
An economic union is a common markets bloc among members that also share one trade policy with non-members.
And in a monetary union, nations share a single currency, such as the euro.
The good thing about economic integration is its members pay smaller expenses to trade, which can spur economic growth.
But one member of a bloc can bring others down if its economy or growth slows. The more integrated the economies become, the less flexibility the governments of member nations have to make adjustments that would benefit themselves.

We have an increasingly complex financial system and a correspondingly complex system of regulation to go with it. Constructing a proper regulatory framework not only entails an understanding of economics and finance, but also law, since much of the regulation is enacted via legislation.
So how does the law interact with finance?
To answer that question, Katharina Pistor, a grantee of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, professor at Columbia University Law School, and the director of Columbia’s Center on Global Legal Transformation, is developing a Legal Theory of Finance that makes big strides in this area.
In this interview, Pistor focuses in particular on the paradoxical relationship between law and finance. On the one hand, finance needs law to provide credibility. After all, financial assets are contracts, the value of which depends on their legal validation. But on the other hand, changing conditions in the financial world over time necessitate flexibility in law. An overly rigid legal system can render regulation irrelevant if financial innovation ultimately surpasses laws designed for another era. In a worst-case scenario, legal rigidity also can play a role in causing a financial accident.
In the United States, the Dodd-Frank legislation represents one response to this challenge. In Europe, the melding of finance and the law is even more complex because policy makers, regulators, and legislators are dealing with 17 different nations, all of which operate with a common currency but in a series of different national jurisdictions with vastly different legal traditions and precedents.
The tension in Europe has become particularly acute in relation to some of the unconventional measures undertaken by the European Central Bank in response to the existential threat to the euro itself. The supranational powers that the ECB has arrogated to itself under the guise of maintaining “financial stability” or “improving the monetary transmission mechanism,” have come under challenge in Germany’s Constitutional Court. Can a national constitutional court effectively invalidate an entire program undertaken by a supranational central bank, which ostensibly is responsible for a common monetary policy?
This is one of the issues that Professor Pistor discusses in the exchange below. As the interview illustrates, this is a highly controversial area where no definitive answers have been reached. But ultimately this tension between law and finance represents yet another profound challenge to the survival of the European Monetary Union.

EN - ECON Committee - Monetary Dialogue with Mario DRAGHI, President of the European Central Bank: opening statement by Mario DRAGHI - FULL version - 23.09.2015 - European Parliament, Brussels.
EXTRACTS from the transcript - Mario DRAGHI, President of the European Central Bank: "Over the summer, industrial production and other indicators of economic activity showed signs of resilience. At the same time, the macroeconomic environment has become more challenging. Our September macroeconomic projections indicated a weaker economic recovery and a slower increase in inflation rates than we had expected earlier this year. The inflation rate will remain close to zero in the very near term, before rising again towards the end of the year. (...)
Should some of the downwards risks weaken the inflation outlook over the medium term more fundamentally than we project at present, we would not hesitate to act. The asset purchase programme has sufficient in-built flexibility. We will adjust its size, composition and duration as appropriate, if more monetary policy impulse should become necessary. (...)
As there are signs that the financing of the euro area economy has tended to shift to non-banks, the coverage of the macroprudential framework needs to start being extended to the shadow banking sector so as to address risks in the financial sector as a whole. (...)
(Concerning the agreement with Greece) An agreement was reached. If it is completely implemented, the new programme will put Greece in a position to grow again and to reap the full benefits of participating in our common currency. (...)
First, despite the best efforts of all actors involved, the crisis has shown that monetary union requires a political centre; a centre that can take the relevant fiscal, economic and financial decisions for the Euro area as a whole in a swift and transparent manner with full democratic legitimacy and a clear set of responsibilities given to it by the legislators. It is in this spirit that I have called repeatedly for a move from rules-based coordination to sharing of sovereignty within common institutions. The report proposes a Euro area treasury as one example. Such ideas now need to be spelled out. (...)
Most imminently, we should move towards completing banking union through a common backstop for the Single Resolution Fund and through a European deposit insurance scheme. Both are essential to create a truly single banking system to mirror our single currency, and both are crucial to underpin the credibility of banking union and finally achieve its initial promise, namely breaking the bank-sovereign nexus, making the financial system more resilient, and protecting the interests of taxpayers. (...)
In addition, we need to prevent imbalances – whatever their nature – from developing into a crisis environment. Therefore, we need a new convergence process based on the capacity of our economies to withstand shocks and grow out of them quickly. This would imply not only a more robust financial system as just described, but also stronger governance over structural reforms and a tighter control of national fiscal policies. (...)"

The Law of Damages- Butterworths Common Law SeriesThe Law of Damages- Butterworths Common Law Series
BOOK REVIEW. THE LAW OF DAMAGES 2nd Edition Butterworths Common Law Series General Editor: Professor Andrew Tettenborn Editor: David Wilby QC ISBN: 978-1-4057-5109-4 LexisNexis www.lexisnexis.co.uk THE BEST BOOK FOR THE BENCH ON DAMAGES An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers Issues with respect to damages concern money: from how much a Claimant might gain if successful, to how much he might lose if he isn't, working under our original rigid common law remedy of monetary payment as the first stop to sort things out. This is a big book and there is much detail which many may feel they do not need in smaller firms but it does give tremendous authority to your practice as, in our view, it is the most readable of the current crop of 'damages' books. Andrew Tettenborn and David Wilby QC have blended practical guidance, paragraph by paragraph, with the academic and the judicial approaches to achieve the best advice which judges and advocates need in the courtroom when the real decisions on awards need to be made or advised on. All this may sound perfectly straightforward, but, as every lawyer knows, damage cases can be extraordinarily complex, not to mention emotionally fraught, especially in common law jurisdictions, where such cases frequently raise issues of law -- hence the editors' observations that 'in damage cases, appeal courts pronounce on questions of principle to an extent astonishing to a European observer.' There has, therefore, been -- and continues to be -- a pressing need for an authoritative, yet straightforward and accessible detailed guide to this area of law, which certainly, 'The Law of Damages' amply provides with its positioning as the book we would see on the judicial bench during proceedings and one which practitioners will need to consult. The intention behind this quite indispensable work, is to provide 'authoritative but user-friendly' coverage of the whole of the law of damages in contract and tort: the authors do just this! Within almost 1,000 pages and 36 chapters, 'The Law of Damages' gives bulky coverage of the full range of issues pertaining to damages and the assessment of damages. New material in the second edition reflects the continually changing landscape in this area where, in the editors' words, 'old certainties are undermined and old approaches discredited' so we welcome this fresh statement of law from the excellent Butterworths Common Law Series as an important addition to the damages debate at its highest professional level. The structure of the book is commendably straightforward. Beginning with general principles, it then deals with damages for individual wrongs and for breaches of particular common types of contract of special help to Counsel. Part One -- General Principles -- covers the full range of issues, from scope of damages, measures of damages, financial loss, and damages for non-pecuniary loss , to contributory negligence, the right to interest and the effect of death, bankruptcy, assignment and so forth. Part Two -- Damages Other Than For Personal Injury -- deals with everything from physical damage and trespass to land and chattels, to interference with goods, misrepresentation, wrong to the person , agency relationships, professional liability, contracts for the sale of goods, land and other assets and of course, much more. Part Three places personal injury damages in a separate category which merits a separate section of the book. This is a reflection of the increase in this type of case and the fact that personal injury has become, as the editors note, a separate subject in its own right 'with its own quirks and technicalities'. It is the professional practitioner's book of the moment in this field and one of the leading works. Research resources are copious, with at least 20 pages of Tables of Statutes, Cases, Statutory Instruments and European Legislation -- and at the back, a 67 page index, reassuringly detailed for fast, easy reference to whatever you want to know or the sort of thing the judge will ask... or possibly look for personally in the law library so you can be one step ahead! Damages, as an area of law, have become pivotal within most legal practices, hence the need for this authoritative work of reference on every law library shelf. It is a compliment to the more established "McGregor" and "Kemp & Kemp" rather than its direct competitor. Tettenborn & Wilby ask the questions going through our minds towards to the conclusion of a case in their well constructed paragraphs to give the best book for the bench on damages currently around. -

RBNZ Monetary Policy Statement Extended ReviewRBNZ Monetary Policy Statement Extended Review
Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens said yesterday in a speech on Australia, New Zealand and the International economy that the threat of a global catastrophe had declined in recent weeks. At moments like this, it is hazardous to make predictions, Stevens said at a Trans Tasman Business Circle lunch in Sydney. However, it seems to me that the key elements of dealing with the root issues in the crisis are starting to come into place. Policy-makers in the major countries do get it. The plans are not precisely uniform across countries that is never achievable anyway but we can, I think, see the shape of a broad common outline. It addresses the issues of liquidity, capital and confidence. There is much more work to be done yet on the design details, and one area in which further international co-operation would be helpful is in the area of making these various guarantee arrangements broadly consistent, Stevens said.

Market values and social values should no longer oppose each other. The same values that contribute to fulfilling interpersonal relationships should be awarded in the economy. 2. Conformity with the constitution. The economy should function in accordance with the values and objectives established by the constitutions of western democracies, which is currently not the case. 3. Economic success should no longer be measured with monetary indicators (financial profit, GDP), but by what is really important, i.e. utility values (basic needs, quality of life, communal values) Market values and social values should no longer oppose each other.

Explaining Economic Integration
Economic integration reduces or eliminates trade barriers among nations, and coordinates monetary and fiscal policies. The aim is to reduce costs for consumers and producers, as well as to increase trade between the countries participating in the agreement. The more integrated economies become, the fewer trade barriers exist, and the more politically coordinated they are. Countries can agree to different levels of economic integration: A preferential trade agreement is a trading bloc where members reduce or remove tariffs on certain goods imported and exported throughout their region. A free trade area is a bloc in which countries reduce or remove tariffs on all goods among member nations. An example is the North American Free Trade Agreement. In a customs union, member countries reduce or... -
Katharina Pistor: Creating A Legal Foundation For Finance
We have an increasingly complex financial system and a correspondingly complex system of regulation to go with it. Constructing a proper regulatory framework not only entails an understanding of economics and finance, but also law, since much of the regulation is enacted via legislation. So how does the law interact with finance? To answer that question, Katharina Pistor, a grantee of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, professor at Columbia University Law School, and the director of Columbia’s Center on Global Legal Transformation, is developing a Legal Theory of Finance that makes big strides in this area. In this interview, Pistor focuses in particular on the paradoxical relationship between law and finance. On the one hand, finance needs law to provide credibility. After a... -

European Integration - Lecture 11
Europe poses a natural playground – or laboratory – for theories of the appropriate level of monetary integration, in particular, for the theory of optimal currency areas. Yet Europe does not even fulfill the national criterion. Shocks are not common, labor mobility is modest, and political integration is very low. On the face of it, Europe is not currently an optimal currency area. Yet progress in the past four decades strongly suggest that Europe’s fulfillment of the criteria for a monetary union is endogenous; the Euro project may bring about the very fulfilment of the preconditions for monetary union that were not met at the outset. In that respect, monetary union is as much a political as an economic project which, while costly, is likely to yield large long-run dividends in peace and... -

"The Economy for the Common Good" comprises the basic elements of an alternative economic framework. It employs three approaches:
1. Market values and social values should no longer oppose each other. The same values that contribute to fulfilling interpersonal relationships should be awarded in the economy.
2. Conformity with the constitution. The economy should function in accordance with the values and objectives established by the constitutions of western democracies, which is currently not the case.
3. Economic success should no longer be measured with monetary indicators (financial profit, GDP), but by what is really important, i.e. utility values (basic needs, quality of life, communal values)
Market values and social values should no longer oppose each other.
The first draft of this model, including the Common Welfare Balance Sheet, was developed between 2009 and 2010 by a dozen entrepreneurs from Austria.
Practical Implementation
In the fiscal year 2011, 60 companies in three countries created the Common Welfare Balance Sheet. They were supported and advised by Common Welfare Consultants; auditors reviewed the Common Welfare Balance Sheet. Towards the end of 2011, the number of pioneers has risen to 150; over 500 companies from 13 countries support the overall process of the Common Welfare Economy.
Overall Process
Increasingly, different working parties are forming around the model and the pioneer companies. Editors, scientists, speakers, ambassadors, ... numerous people offer their skills and knowledge in order to contribute to the joint development of the Common Welfare Economy.
Energy Fields and Communities
In eight countries: Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Spain, Argentina and Honduras -- Energy Fields (regional support groups) have emerged. They surround supporting companies and communicate the idea in their local area. There have been the first requests by communities to become a Common Welfare Community.
Open Process
The model of the Common Welfare Economy is based on two core elements: the Common Welfare Balance Sheet and the 20 Cornerstones. By constantly integrating feedback, we have continually readjusted the model and will do so in the years to come. At the end of this process, economic conventions need to take place, first on a communal level, then on a nationwide level. By popular vote, parts of the model shall be anchored in the constitution.
Participate
Everyone can contribute to the Common Welfare Economy with their specific skills or interests -- be it as a company, as a consumer, as a working party or as an Energy Field, in schools and universities or in residential communities. Every day their number grows. Join the process!

Economic integration reduces or eliminates trade barriers among nations, and coordinates monetary and fiscal policies.
The aim is to reduce costs for consumers and producers, as well as to increase trade between the countries participating in the agreement. The more integrated economies become, the fewer trade barriers exist, and the more politically coordinated they are.
Countries can agree to different levels of economic integration:
A preferential trade agreement is a trading bloc where members reduce or remove tariffs on certain goods imported and exported throughout their region.
A free trade area is a bloc in which countries reduce or remove tariffs on all goods among member nations. An example is the North American Free Trade Agreement.
In a customs union, member countries reduce or remove tariffs among themselves and impose a common tariff against non-member countries.
Countries involved in a common markets bloc freely exchange all goods, services, labor and capital.
An economic union is a common markets bloc among members that also share one trade policy with non-members.
And in a monetary union, nations share a single currency, such as the euro.
The good thing about economic integration is its members pay smaller expenses to trade, which can spur economic growth.
But one member of a bloc can bring others down if its economy or growth slows. The more integrated the economies become, the less flexibility the governments of member nations have to make adjustments that would benefit themselves.

Katharina Pistor: Creating A Legal Foundation For Finance

We have an increasingly complex financial system and a correspondingly complex system of regulation to go with it. Constructing a proper regulatory framework not only entails an understanding of economics and finance, but also law, since much of the regulation is enacted via legislation.
So how does the law interact with finance?
To answer that question, Katharina Pistor, a grantee of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, professor at Columbia University Law School, and the director of Columbia’s Center on Global Legal Transformation, is developing a Legal Theory of Finance that makes big strides in this area.
In this interview, Pistor focuses in particular on the paradoxical relationship between law and finance. On the one hand, finance needs law to provide credibility. After all, financial assets are contracts, the value of which depends on their legal validation. But on the other hand, changing conditions in the financial world over time necessitate flexibility in law. An overly rigid legal system can render regulation irrelevant if financial innovation ultimately surpasses laws designed for another era. In a worst-case scenario, legal rigidity also can play a role in causing a financial accident.
In the United States, the Dodd-Frank legislation represents one response to this challenge. In Europe, the melding of finance and the law is even more complex because policy makers, regulators, and legislators are dealing with 17 different nations, all of which operate with a common currency but in a series of different national jurisdictions with vastly different legal traditions and precedents.
The tension in Europe has become particularly acute in relation to some of the unconventional measures undertaken by the European Central Bank in response to the existential threat to the euro itself. The supranational powers that the ECB has arrogated to itself under the guise of maintaining “financial stability” or “improving the monetary transmission mechanism,” have come under challenge in Germany’s Constitutional Court. Can a national constitutional court effectively invalidate an entire program undertaken by a supranational central bank, which ostensibly is responsible for a common monetary policy?
This is one of the issues that Professor Pistor discusses in the exchange below. As the interview illustrates, this is a highly controversial area where no definitive answers have been reached. But ultimately this tension between law and finance represents yet another profound challenge to the survival of the European Monetary Union.

EN - ECON Committee - Monetary Dialogue with Mario DRAGHI, President of the European Central Bank: opening statement by Mario DRAGHI - FULL version - 23.09.2015 - European Parliament, Brussels.
EXTRACTS from the transcript - Mario DRAGHI, President of the European Central Bank: "Over the summer, industrial production and other indicators of economic activity showed signs of resilience. At the same time, the macroeconomic environment has become more challenging. Our September macroeconomic projections indicated a weaker economic recovery and a slower increase in inflation rates than we had expected earlier this year. The inflation rate will remain close to zero in the very near term, before rising again towards the end of the year. (...)
Should some of the downwards risks weaken the inflation outlook over the medium term more fundamentally than we project at present, we would not hesitate to act. The asset purchase programme has sufficient in-built flexibility. We will adjust its size, composition and duration as appropriate, if more monetary policy impulse should become necessary. (...)
As there are signs that the financing of the euro area economy has tended to shift to non-banks, the coverage of the macroprudential framework needs to start being extended to the shadow banking sector so as to address risks in the financial sector as a whole. (...)
(Concerning the agreement with Greece) An agreement was reached. If it is completely implemented, the new programme will put Greece in a position to grow again and to reap the full benefits of participating in our common currency. (...)
First, despite the best efforts of all actors involved, the crisis has shown that monetary union requires a political centre; a centre that can take the relevant fiscal, economic and financial decisions for the Euro area as a whole in a swift and transparent manner with full democratic legitimacy and a clear set of responsibilities given to it by the legislators. It is in this spirit that I have called repeatedly for a move from rules-based coordination to sharing of sovereignty within common institutions. The report proposes a Euro area treasury as one example. Such ideas now need to be spelled out. (...)
Most imminently, we should move towards completing banking union through a common backstop for the Single Resolution Fund and through a European deposit insurance scheme. Both are essential to create a truly single banking system to mirror our single currency, and both are crucial to underpin the credibility of banking union and finally achieve its initial promise, namely breaking the bank-sovereign nexus, making the financial system more resilient, and protecting the interests of taxpayers. (...)
In addition, we need to prevent imbalances – whatever their nature – from developing into a crisis environment. Therefore, we need a new convergence process based on the capacity of our economies to withstand shocks and grow out of them quickly. This would imply not only a more robust financial system as just described, but also stronger governance over structural reforms and a tighter control of national fiscal policies. (...)"

THE BEST BOOK FOR THE BENCH ON DAMAGES
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
Issues with respect to damages concern money: from how much a Claimant might gain if successful, to how much he might lose if he isn't, working under our original rigid common law remedy of monetary payment as the first stop to sort things out. This is a big book and there is much detail which many may feel they do not need in smaller firms but it does give tremendous authority to your practice as, in our view, it is the most readable of the current crop of 'damages' books.
Andrew Tettenborn and David Wilby QC have blended practical guidance, paragraph by paragraph, with the academic and the judicial approaches to achieve the best advice which judges and advocates need in the courtroom when the real decisions on awards need to be made or advised on.
All this may sound perfectly straightforward, but, as every lawyer knows, damage cases can be extraordinarily complex, not to mention emotionally fraught, especially in common law jurisdictions, where such cases frequently raise issues of law -- hence the editors' observations that 'in damage cases, appeal courts pronounce on questions of principle to an extent astonishing to a European observer.'
There has, therefore, been -- and continues to be -- a pressing need for an authoritative, yet straightforward and accessible detailed guide to this area of law, which certainly, 'The Law of Damages' amply provides with its positioning as the book we would see on the judicial bench during proceedings and one which practitioners will need to consult.
The intention behind this quite indispensable work, is to provide 'authoritative but user-friendly' coverage of the whole of the law of damages in contract and tort: the authors do just this! Within almost 1,000 pages and 36 chapters, 'The Law of Damages' gives bulky coverage of the full range of issues pertaining to damages and the assessment of damages. New material in the second edition reflects the continually changing landscape in this area where, in the editors' words, 'old certainties are undermined and old approaches discredited' so we welcome this fresh statement of law from the excellent Butterworths Common Law Series as an important addition to the damages debate at its highest professional level.
The structure of the book is commendably straightforward. Beginning with general principles, it then deals with damages for individual wrongs and for breaches of particular common types of contract of special help to Counsel.
Part One -- General Principles -- covers the full range of issues, from scope of damages, measures of damages, financial loss, and damages for non-pecuniary loss , to contributory negligence, the right to interest and the effect of death, bankruptcy, assignment and so forth.
Part Two -- Damages Other Than For Personal Injury -- deals with everything from physical damage and trespass to land and chattels, to interference with goods, misrepresentation, wrong to the person , agency relationships, professional liability, contracts for the sale of goods, land and other assets and of course, much more.
Part Three places personal injury damages in a separate category which merits a separate section of the book. This is a reflection of the increase in this type of case and the fact that personal injury has become, as the editors note, a separate subject in its own right 'with its own quirks and technicalities'.
It is the professional practitioner's book of the moment in this field and one of the leading works. Research resources are copious, with at least 20 pages of Tables of Statutes, Cases, Statutory Instruments and European Legislation -- and at the back, a 67 page index, reassuringly detailed for fast, easy reference to whatever you want to know or the sort of thing the judge will ask... or possibly look for personally in the law library so you can be one step ahead!
Damages, as an area of law, have become pivotal within most legal practices, hence the need for this authoritative work of reference on every law library shelf. It is a compliment to the more established "McGregor" and "Kemp & Kemp" rather than its direct competitor. Tettenborn & Wilby ask the questions going through our minds towards to the conclusion of a case in their well constructed paragraphs to give the best book for the bench on damages currently around.

Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens said yesterday in a speech on Australia, New Zealand and the International economy that the threat of a global catastrophe had declined in recent weeks.
At moments like this, it is hazardous to make predictions, Stevens said at a Trans Tasman Business Circle lunch in Sydney.
However, it seems to me that the key elements of dealing with the root issues in the crisis are starting to come into place. Policy-makers in the major countries do get it. The plans are not precisely uniform across countries that is never achievable anyway but we can, I think, see the shape of a broad common outline. It addresses the issues of liquidity, capital and confidence. There is much more work to be done yet on the design details, and one area in which further international co-operation would be helpful is in the area of making these various guarantee arrangements broadly consistent, Stevens said.

Europe poses a natural playground – or laboratory – for theories of the appropriate level of monetary integration, in particular, for the theory of optimal currency areas. Yet Europe does not even fulfill the national criterion. Shocks are not common, labor mobility is modest, and political integration is very low. On the face of it, Europe is not currently an optimal currency area. Yet progress in the past four decades strongly suggest that Europe’s fulfillment of the criteria for a monetary union is endogenous; the Euro project may bring about the very fulfilment of the preconditions for monetary union that were not met at the outset. In that respect, monetary union is as much a political as an economic project which, while costly, is likely to yield large long-run dividends in peace and economic prosperity for the continent.

The Netherlands (Listeni/ˈnɛðərləndz/; Dutch: Nederland [ˈneːdərˌlɑnt]) is the main constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is a small, densely populated country, located in Western Europe and with three island territories in the Caribbean. The European part of the Netherlands borders Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, and the North Sea to the Northwest, sharing maritime borders with Belgium, the United Kingdom and Germany.The largest and most important cities in the Netherlands are Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam. Amsterdam is the country's capital,while The Hague holds the Dutch seat of government and parliament.The port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe – as large as the next three largest combined.
The Netherlands' name literally means "Low Countries", influenced by its low land and flat geography, with only about 50% of its land exceeding one metre above sea level.Most of the areas below sea level are man-made. Since the late 16th century, large areas (polders) have been reclaimed from the sea and lakes, amounting to nearly 17% of the country's current land mass.
With a population density of 407 people per km² – 497 if water is excluded – the Netherlands is a very densely populated country for its size. Only Bangladesh, South Korea, and Taiwan have both a larger population and a higher population density. Nevertheless, the Netherlands is the world's second-largest exporter of food and agriculture products, after the United States.This is due to the fertility of the soil and the mild climate.
The Netherlands was one of the first countries in the world to have an elected parliament, and since 1848 it has been governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, organised as a unitary state. The Netherlands has a long history of social tolerance and is generally regarded as a liberal country, having legalised abortion, prostitution and euthanasia, while maintaining a progressive drugs policy. In 2001 it became the world's first country to legalise same-sex marriage.
The Netherlands is a founding member of the EU, Eurozone, G-10, NATO, OECD, WTO and a part of the trilateral Benelux economic union. The country is host to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and five international courts: the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Court and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. The first four are situated in The Hague, as is the EU's criminal intelligence agency Europol and judicial co-operation agency Eurojust. This has led to the city being dubbed "the world's legal capital".The Netherlands is also a part of the Schengen Area.
The Netherlands has a market-based mixed economy, ranking 17th of 177 countries according to the Index of Economic Freedom.It had the thirteenth-highest per capita income in the world in 2013 according to the International Monetary Fund. In 2013, the United Nations World Happiness Report ranked the Netherlands as the fourth happiest country in the world, reflecting its high quality of life

Economists' Misadventures in the Tropics: Loans, Investment, Education (2002)
Economic development is the sustained, concerted actions of policy makers and communities that promote the standard of living and economic health of a specific area. Economic development can also be referred to as the quantitative and qualitative changes in the economy. Such acts can involve multiple areas including development of human capital, critical infrastructure, regional competitiveness, social inclusion, health, safety, literacy, and other initiatives. Economic development differs from economic growth. Whereas economic development is a policy intervention endeavor with aims of economic and social well-being of people, economic growth is a phenomenon of market productivity and rise in GDP. Consequently, as economist Amartya Sen points out, "economic growth is one aspect of the proc... -

UKIP - Nigel Farage Simon Heffer Bromley By-Election June 26-06
Just days before the election, UK Member of Parliament Candidate Nigel Farage talks about the issues. Simon Heffer, associate editor of the UK's newspaper 'The Daily Telegraph' joins in. The issues of Immigration, Jobs, The Criminal Justice system, and Taxes are discussed with an emphasis on leaving the European Union. Nigel explains his views on national issues for all to hear. The importance of leaving the European Union and self government is emphasized as 70% of the laws people in the UK live under are now made by the unelected and unaccountable European Commission. National sovereignty is at stake and Nigel freely points this out to the audience. He is highly in favor of the UK making its own laws again and governing its own country instead of the EU which is rife with corruption an... -

Technical debt is a common analogy to describe the cost of code mess and poor architecture. However, how far can the monetary analogy go? In this session we will look at insights from the Lorax and “environmental debt”. Specifically, we will build an argument for why the monetary comparison communicates the wrong idea about how technical debt is measured and how it impacts business. We will conclude with identifying measures and practices to mitigate technical debt.
This session might be for you if you deal with the challenge of communicating the business cost of technical debt, you want a clearer understanding of what technical debt is and how to measure it, or you want advice on how to mitigate against technical debt.
The key takeaway from this session will be an improved strategy for identifying, measuring, preventing, and communicating technical debt.

In Segment One, Jerry discusses the latest in global news that impacts YOU. The topics include:
The latest from the G-8 Summit 2013
The real agenda behind the coming Transatlantic Union
The latest global economic news including an assessment of this week's market action.
At this week's G-8 Summit held in Northern Ireland, the United States and the European Union agreed to forge ahead with their bold plan to create a free trade area known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. (TTIP) It is also referred to as the Transatlantic Union or the Transatlantic Common Market.
According to popular economist and author, Jerry Robinson:
"While the idea of a Transatlantic Common Market can be seen as far back as 1948 in the global security integration of NATO, it first gained major momentum in April 2007 when President George W. Bush approved the Transatlantic Economic Council. This Council is a permanent international body that seeks to provide deeper economic integration between the U.S. and the EU. On April 30, 2007, President Bush, along with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and current EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, signed this agreement without any U.S. Senate or Congressional approval. The Council seeks to harmonize a large number of complex U.S and EU regulations in preparation for a free trade zone by 2015.
Together with the business community, the TTIP is being sold as a painless economic stimulus plan that will create more jobs in both areas. In the words of current EU President, 'José Manuel Barroso, the TTIP is "the cheapest stimulus plan one can imagine.'
There have been numerous attempts at commercial integration between the U.S. and the EU. But of course, you cannot have a common market without first creating a system of common standards and regulations.
The Transatlantic Union is a covert attempt at enlarging the influence of the corrupt European Union initially through a "free trade zone." However, it will inevitably lead to the creation of a political union, then finally a monetary union, as this has long been the goal of those who seek global governance."

Why the West – Not Putin – Is Responsible for the Ukraine Crisis, lecture by John Mearsheimer

Lecture by Professor Mearsheimer, Why the West – Not Putin – Is Responsible for the Ukraine Crisis, was held on 9th December in the Main Auditorium of Collegium Novum at the Jagiellonian University. It was organized by the Polish Society of International Studies and the Association of International and Area Studies of the Jagiellonian University. The lecture was opened by Professor Andrzej Mania, and then it was presided over by doctor Marcin Grabowski from the Chair in the History of Diplomacy and International Politics.
Our guest from the USA discussed the so-called Ukraine crisis from the perspective of offensive realism, a theory of international relations postulated by Professor Mearsheimer himself and quite influential around the world. The theory recognizes regional and world powers as the main actors shaping international relations and limiting the smaller states' and their nations' right to independence.
The first and most detailed part of the lecture was devoted to the roots of the Ukraine crisis. On the one hand, Professor said that the source of the current crisis lies in the long-term direct actions of the West to increase western influence in Ukraine by promising membership in the NATO and the EU and the support it had lent to pro-Western elites within Ukraine. On the other hand, the determination of the Russian Federation to keep exercising its influence in this state is another source of the problem.
Commenting on Russia's reaction to the shift of power in Ukraine, our guest indicated that Russia has on numerous occasions warned the West against the consequences of inviting Ukraine to join the Western institutions. At the same time, Professor Mearsheimer declared he did not agree with the common opinion that the Russian Federation's policy is a result of irrational actions of President Putin or the attempts at creating the great Russia. The professor from Chicago believes that the Russian leader acts logically and in tune with the tenets of realism. Additionally, Russia does not have the potential to rebuild its empire as it is weaker and weaker as a world power.
In conclusion of his lecture, Professor Mearsheimer gave a few recommendations how the crisis could be resolved. First of all, Ukraine should be declared a neutral state, outside of any military or economic alliances (NATO, EU). As a result, it could serve as a buffer state between the NATO and Russia and its allies. Secondly, a plan of economic aid for Ukraine should be prepared by the International Monetary Fund, Russia and the European Union. And thirdly, Ukraine should guarantee minority rights, including the right concerning minority languages.
After the lecture, Professor Mearsheimer answered a number of questions from the audience. They were mostly on the Ukrainians' right to autonomy as well as Poland's security. On the former issue, our guest stressed that he is not an adversary of the Ukrainian state, but he only presents recommendations that are necessary to end the conflict from the point of view of his theory. In relation to Poland, Professor deemed our country secure, mostly because the conflict in the East increased the US interest in the region and Russia itself will be getting weaker and weaker with time due to e.g. its demographics.
At the end, Julian Laufs from the Association of International and Area Studies of JU thanked Professor Mearsheimer and presented him with some gadgets with the AIAS logo.
The lecture gathered around 200 people who filled the Auditorium in Collegium Novum. After the official part, many students stayed to ask Professor some further questions.

The East African Community (EAC) is an intergovernmental organisation comprising five countries in the African Great Lakes region in eastern Africa: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. Uhuru Kenyatta, the President of the Republic of Kenya, is the EAC's current chairman. The organisation was originally founded in 1967, collapsed in 1977, and was officially revived on 7 July 2000. In 2008, after negotiations with the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the EAC agreed to an expanded free trade area including the member states of all three organizations. The EAC is an integral part of the African Economic Community.
The East African Community is a potential precursor to the establishment of the East African Federation, a proposed federation of its five members into a single state. In 2010, the EAC launched its own common market for goods, labour and capital within the region, with the goal of creating a common currency and eventually a full political federation. In 2013 a protocol was signed outlining their plans for launching a monetary union within 10 years.

Economic development is the sustained, concerted actions of policy makers and communities that promote the standard of living and economic health of a specific area. Economic development can also be referred to as the quantitative and qualitative changes in the economy. Such acts can involve multiple areas including development of human capital, critical infrastructure, regional competitiveness, social inclusion, health, safety, literacy, and other initiatives. Economic development differs from economic growth. Whereas economic development is a policy intervention endeavor with aims of economic and social well-being of people, economic growth is a phenomenon of market productivity and rise in GDP. Consequently, as economist Amartya Sen points out, "economic growth is one aspect of the process of economic development."
In the United States, Project Socrates outlined competitiveness as the driving factor for successful economic development in government and industry. By addressing technology directly, to meet customer needs, competitiveness was fostered in the surrounding environment and resulted in greater economic performance and sustained growth.
Economic development typically involves improvements in a variety of indicators such as literacy rates, life expectancy, and poverty rates. GDP does not take into account other aspects such as leisure time, environmental quality, freedom, or social justice; alternative measures of economic well-being have been proposed. Essentially, a country's economic development is related to its human development, which encompasses, among other things, health and education. These factors are, however, closely related to economic growth so that development and growth often go together. Due to globalization growth and development in those countries are interrelated to trends on international trade and participation in Global Value Chains (GVCs) and international financial markets. The last financial crisis had a huge effect on economies in developing countries. Economist Jayati Ghosh states that it is necessary to make financial markets in developing countries more resilient by providing a variety of financial institutions. This could also add to financial security for small-scale producers.
In its broadest sense, policies of economic development encompass three major areas:
Governments undertaking to meet broad economic objectives such as price stability, high employment, and sustainable growth. Such efforts include monetary and fiscal policies, regulation of financial institutions, trade, and tax policies.
Programs that provide infrastructure and services such as highways, parks, affordable housing, crime prevention, and K–12 education.
Job creation and retention through specific efforts in business finance, marketing, neighborhood development, workforce development, small business development, business retention and expansion, technology transfer, and real estate development. This third category is a primary focus of economic development professionals.
One growing understanding in economic development is the promotion of regional clusters and a thriving metropolitan economy. In today’s global landscape, location is vitally important and becomes a key in competitive advantage.
International trade and exchange rates are a key issue in economic development. Currencies are often either under-valued or over-valued, resulting in trade surpluses or deficits.
One unintended consequence of economic development is the intense competition between communities, states, and nations for new economic development projects in today's globalized world. With the struggle to attract and retain business, competition is further intensified by the use of many variations of economic incentives to the potential business such as: tax incentives, investment capital, donated land, utility rate discounts, and many others. IEDC places significant attention on the various activities undertaken by economic development organizations to help them compete and sustain vibrant communities.
Additionally, the use of community profiling tools and database templates to measure community assets versus other communities is also an important aspect of economic development. Job creation, economic output, and increase in taxable basis are the most common measurement tools. When considering measurement, too much emphasis has been placed on economic developers for "not creating jobs." However, the reality is that economic developers do not typically create jobs, but facilitate the process for existing businesses and start-ups to do so. Therefore, the economic developer must make sure that there are sufficient economic development programs in place to assist the businesses achieve their goals. Those types of programs are usually policy-created and can be local, regional, statewide and national in nature.

Just days before the election, UK Member of Parliament Candidate Nigel Farage talks about the issues. Simon Heffer, associate editor of the UK's newspaper 'The Daily Telegraph' joins in.
The issues of Immigration, Jobs, The Criminal Justice system, and Taxes are discussed with an emphasis on leaving the European Union. Nigel explains his views on national issues for all to hear. The importance of leaving the European Union and self government is emphasized as 70% of the laws people in the UK live under are now made by the unelected and unaccountable European Commission. National sovereignty is at stake and Nigel freely points this out to the audience. He is highly in favor of the UK making its own laws again and governing its own country instead of the EU which is rife with corruption and is not truly Democratic. The withdrawal of the UK from the 1972 'European Communities Act' is the first step to leave the EU. This can be done with an act of Parliament any time.
Nigel Farage has lived in his district of greater London for many years. I personally have seen him knock on the doors of many businesses and homes in the area, and he is not afraid to get to know and speak with so many residents about the election and where he stands.

The East African Community is the most advanced and ambitious Regional Economic Community in Africa, having made the most linear progress towards a full economic union. It has developed a fully functioning FTA, and has made good progress on establishing a Customs Union. In 2010 it established a Common Market and in 2013 it adopted the EAC Protocol, outlining their plan to launch a monetary union within the next 10 years. Comprising Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, the EAC also serves as a gateway to the EAC-COMESA-SADC Tripartite Free Trade Area, which should come into force in 2017. The political leadership of the EAC Secretariat and Member States and significant investments in trade facilitation and infrastructure along the Northern and Central Corridors are helping drive down trade costs and delivery times for small and medium-sized firms in the entire region and increase intra-regional trade. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) reported that between 2000 and 2012 intra-regional exports by destination averaged 19.5% compared to the Southern African Development Community (SADC), which averaged 10.9%, and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) with 8.7%.

wn.com/Tds Live | Integrating East Africa Progress, Challenges And Future Prospects
The East African Community is the most advanced and ambitious Regional Economic Community in Africa, having made the most linear progress towards a full economic union. It has developed a fully functioning FTA, and has made good progress on establishing a Customs Union. In 2010 it established a Common Market and in 2013 it adopted the EAC Protocol, outlining their plan to launch a monetary union within the next 10 years. Comprising Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, the EAC also serves as a gateway to the EAC-COMESA-SADC Tripartite Free Trade Area, which should come into force in 2017. The political leadership of the EAC Secretariat and Member States and significant investments in trade facilitation and infrastructure along the Northern and Central Corridors are helping drive down trade costs and delivery times for small and medium-sized firms in the entire region and increase intra-regional trade. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) reported that between 2000 and 2012 intra-regional exports by destination averaged 19.5% compared to the Southern African Development Community (SADC), which averaged 10.9%, and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) with 8.7%.
This side event will explore how the unique blend of regional and national political will and innovative and responsive development finance has been used to drive forward the regional integration agenda in the EAC, and ensure it translates into tangible benefits for all East Africans. It will discuss the progress made, the success and the challenges so far, as well as look forward at the future prospects for the region.

Time: 9:00 PDT; 17:00 GMT.
Join us as we ask a panel of lead thinkers in the area to help demystify the role that they play.
During this debate, we'll take a look at the different types of currencies asking our panel what they each mean to them.
1. Time Banking
2. Cryptocurrencies
3. Barter Systems
4. Community Currencies
What are the challenges they seek to address? What are their limitations? How can the limitations be overcome?
What are their common goals and intentions? Will they continue to operate as separate entities, or will they merge into one?
Finally, what about issues that relate to security? How can we 'bank' them for larger investments, such as buying a home? Is there a role for locally produced alternative energy in this? If so, how far off is this and what steps are required?
Lots to cover and all in an hour! Time for questions will be limited, but please feel free to post as a comment and we'll do our best to address them either during or after the debate.
See you there!
Caroline.
