The monograph is devoted to the problems of increasing the capitalization of the economic space of the country and its regions. The characteristics of the multilevel economic space of the country at different levels of its system organization (economic-organizational, economic-regional, structural levels, including the level of territorial economic and technological structures) are given. The potential of deploying the concept of "economic and geographical location of a city (region)" as an intangible asset is shown. The directions of increasing the capitalization of the country and its region

After a miraculous economic growth, spurred by the Beijing Consensus, China is now facing a slowdown.

It also discusses China’s limitations and future prospects, especially after the onset of a new “cold war” between China and the US, and in particular whether it would fall into the “Thucydides trap,” the conflict between a rising power and the existing hegemon.

The unemployment rate fell, and the mix of employment by occupations, economic sector, and education improved slightly. However, the employment mix by occupational position deteriorated, and the share of registered workers and earnings decreased.

Illicit financial flows (IFFs) drain state finances and economic vitality, with disproportionate impact on developing economies. IFFs—including money laundering, tax evasion, and tax avoidance—pose a transnational problem addressed so far through international regimes of coordination and cooperation. But meaningful reductions in IFFs require addressing the root of the problem: information asymmetries. Developed nations and tax havens know where money is hidden and profits are made, while developing nations do not. Since the international system of global finance creates the incentive structure

In short, this “go anywhere” strategy often uses futures, forwards, and options on equities as well as interest rates and currencies.

Using the case of Uganda, the book traces these socio-cultural and especially moral repercussions of embedding neoliberalism.
