This introduction to the economic history of the global economy and the process of globalization since 1850 tracks and explains changes in international trade, migration, and capital flows. All key indicators of globalization rose between 1850 and 1914 during the first wave of globalization. Between 1918 and 1939 the global economy stagnated, suffering a momentous collapse during the Great Depression. After World War II, the global economy re-emerged and integration deepened.

Wage-Labour and Capital & Value, Price, and Profit by Karl Marx is a compelling introduction to Marxist economic theory, combining two of his most influential works. In Wage-Labour and Capital, Marx explores the relationship between labor and capital, illuminating how the commodification of labor under capitalism generates profit for capitalists at the expense of workers. In Value, Price, and Profit, Marx delves deeper into the mechanisms of capitalist economies, discussing the labor theory of value, the creation of surplus value, and the inherent exploitation of wage labor.

This is the definitive and singular account of an epic theme park mania that roiled East Asia for three decades. Beginning in the 1990s, Japan, Korea, and China were gripped by a feverish pursuit of theme park grandeur. Over the next 30 years, developers and visionaries across East Asia built, dreamed, and destroyed some of the largest, most fantastical wonderlands ever conceived.

In An Economy of Strangers, Avinoam Yuval-Naeh historicizes the association of Jews with the economy by focusing on one specific time and place - the financial revolution that England underwent from the late seventeenth century that coincided with the reestablishment of the Jewish population there for the first time in almost four hundred years. European Christian societies had to that point shunned finance and constructed a normative system to avoid it, relying on the figure of the Jew as a foil.

Il prestigioso premio Nobel è universalmente riconosciuto come la più alta onorificenza scientifica e culturale del nostro tempo. Ma il "premio per l’Economia in memoria di Alfred Nobel", nato successivamente su iniziativa della Banca di Svezia, fin dall’inizio ha suscitato polemiche e contestazioni, persino tra gli stessi vincitori. Con questo premio aggiuntivo, infatti, la scienza economica è stata collocata sullo stesso piano della fisica, della chimica e della medicina, ossia di quegli ambiti della ricerca che Alfred Nobel reputava "i maggiori servizi resi all’umanità".

Increasingly, we are witnessing popular uprisings around the globe that, contrary to historical insurrections confined to less developed countries and poverty, now share common banners of struggle such as inflation, inequality, elite abuse, immigration, all at the heart of globalization and capitalism which, at the risk of losing its monopolistic and privileged position of the last four decades, requires equally dramatic adjustments. 

The story of the economists who championed the rise of free markets and fundamentally reshaped the modern world. As the post-World War II economic boom began to falter in the late 1960s, a new breed of economists gained in influence and power. Over time, their ideas curbed governments, unleashed...

During the twentieth century, Vietnam and Poland were both victims not only of devastating wars, but also of socialist planned economies that destroyed whatever war hadn’t already. In 1990, Vietnam was still one of the poorest countries in the world, while Poland was one of the poorest in Europe. But in the three decades since then, both countries have drastically improved their citizens’ standards of living and escaped the vicious cycle of national poverty.

We live in a world of seemingly limitless consumer choice. Yet, as every shopper knows without thinking about it, many everyday goods—from beds to batteries to printer paper—are available in a finite number of "standard sizes." What makes these sizes "standard" is an agreement among competing firms to make or sell products with the same limited dimensions. But how did firms—often hotly competing firms—reach such collective agreements?
