We all notice when the poor get poorer: when there are more rough sleepers and food bank queues start to grow. But if the rich become richer, there is nothing much to see in public and, for most of us, daily life doesn't change. Or at least, not immediately. In this astonishing, eye-opening intervention, world-leading philosopher and economist Ingrid Robeyns exposes the true extent of our wealth problem, which has spent the past fifty years silently spiralling out of control.

“The go-to guy on minimum wage” (Nobel Laureate and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman) tackles one of the thorniest social issues of our times—income inequality—from a new vantage point with field-leading economics.

When scholars and policymakers consider how technological advances affect the rise and fall of great powers, they draw on theories that center on the moment of innovation—the eureka moment that sparks astonishing technological feats. In this book, Jeffrey Ding offers a different explanation of how technological revolutions affect competition among great powers.

In Unexpected Revolutionaries, Manuela Moschella investigates the institutional transformation of central banks from the 1970s to the present.

New technologies are offering companies, politicians, and others unprecedented opportunity to manipulate us. Sometimes we are given the illusion of power—of freedom—through choice, yet the game is rigged, pushing us in specific directions that lead to less wealth, worse health, and weaker democracy.

Balancing the federal budget is critical for long-term economic stability. It requires a multi-faceted approach encompassing efficiency improvements, revenue reforms, spending adjustments, and economic growth strategies. First, reducing inefficiencies through fraud prevention, administrative streamlining, and eliminating redundancies can save billions while maintaining essential services. Reforming tax expenditures, such as capping deductions or targeting tax breaks for the wealthy, generates significant revenue while promoting fairness.

L’économie est communément considérée comme une puissance maléfique opposée aux « vraies » valeurs, celles de l’humanité, de la socialité, de la nature. Or, le mot d’économie renvoie primitivement aux principes de santé, d’harmonie, de bonne organisation et ce n’est pas par hasard qu’il partage son étymologie avec celui d’écologie. En revenant aux sources de la notion, ce petit ouvrage montre qu’il n’y a pas de « valeurs économiques », que l’économie traduit dans son langage nos valeurs sociales et qu’il importe donc à chacun de s’en saisir.

When Hu Jintao, China's then vice president, came to visit the New York Stock Exchange and Ground Zero in 2002, he asked Hank Paulson to be his guide. It was a testament to the pivotal role that Goldman Sachs played in helping China experiment with private enterprise. In Dealing with China, the best-selling author of On the Brink draws on his unprecedented access to both the political and business leaders of modern China to answer several key questions.

È giunto il momento di smontare uno dei luoghi comuni più duraturo della storia repubblicana, ovvero quello secondo il quale il fascismo è morto e sepolto da fine aprile 1945. Già nel secondo dopoguerra, infatti, la dottrina della continuità dello Stato riportò ai vertici di prefetture e polizia personaggi di schietta fede fascista. Poi si è permessa la ricostituzione di un partito fascista come il Movimento sociale italiano che, tra manganello e doppiopetto, ha avuto un ruolo negli scontri di piazza e ha contribuito perfino all’elezione di presidenti della Repubblica (da Antonio Segni a Giovanni Leone).

In a society marked by extreme inequality of income and opportunity, why should economists care about how people feel? The truth is that feelings of well-being are critical metrics that predict future life outcomes. In this timely and innovative account, economist Carol Graham argues for the importance of hope—little studied in economics at present—as an independent dimension of well-being.

From the close of trading on Tuesday, October 13, 1987, to the close of trading on October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("Dow") fell 769 points or 31 percent. On October 19, 1987, alone, the Dow fell by 508 points or 22.6 percent. Since the early 1920's, only the drop of 12.8 percent in the Dow on October 28, 1929 and the fall of 11.7 percent the following day, which together constituted the Crash of 1929, approached the October 19 decline in magnitude. The events of October demonstrated an unusual frailty in the markets.

These days in America, racism is sporadic, not systemic. Racism is universally viewed as one of the worst characteristics a person can have. Activists invoke it so often because it is such an effective cudgel.

A Tale of Two Economies details the ongoing battle between the material and the monetary economies. The good news is that the development of modern technology in our material economy has us on the brink of prosperity. The bad news is that a turf war over the money supply in our monetary economy is destroying our prospects for enjoying this success. Thus, we have rampant inflation and a growing gap between the rich and the poor today.

Da oltre trent'anni l'Italia vede attuarsi periodicamente soluzioni "irregolari" delle crisi politiche. Ciampi, Monti, Draghi. Da tempo i presidenti della Repubblica si regolano come se fosse in vigore da noi la Costituzione della Quinta Repubblica francese, o forse pensano che sia ritornato lo Statuto Albertino: convocano "qualcuno" che metta le cose a posto.

Gli spaccapietre cinesi, i braccianti macedoni, le badanti ucraine, i rider africani, i bengalesi nei cantieri navali, gli allevatori sikh. Da una parte la necessità delle aziende di competere a livello globale sui mercati, dall’altra la rivoluzione digitale, da un’altra ancora la possibilità di usufruire di servizi e merci a prezzi bassi ci portano a nuove forme di schiavismo, più sottili, più opache, talvolta legalizzate.

Il regno delle Due Sicilie era una specie di paradiso in terra: ben amministrato da un governo illuminato come quello napoletano, aveva raggiunto risultati straordinari che lo ponevano all’avanguardia in Europa. Ma proprio questo benessere aveva acceso la cupidigia del Nord che con la forza delle armi se n’è impadronito, distruggendone l’industria, occupando militarmente i territori e sterminando i ‘briganti’, in realtà eroici resistenti all’oppressione.

Die Energiekrise erschüttert die globale Wirtschaft. Gas und Öl werden als geopolitische Waffen eingesetzt. Zugleich spüren wir die Vorboten der drohenden Klimakatastrophe. Daraus baut eine mächtige Lobby den künstlichen Gegensatz zwischen Klima und Frieden auf. Plötzlich sind Kohle, Fracking und Atomkraft wieder auf der Tagesordnung. Doch wer zahlt den Preis? Haben wir überhaupt noch eine Chance, uns aus den Abhängigkeiten zu befreien? Und wie wird die Energie gerecht verteilt? Deutschlands renommierteste Energieökonomin Professor Dr. Claudia Kemfert gibt Antworten.

Adair Turner became chairman of Britain's Financial Services Authority just as the global financial crisis struck in 2008, and he played a leading role in redesigning global financial regulation. In this eye-opening book, he sets the record straight about what really caused the crisis. It didn’t happen because banks are too big to fail—our addiction to private debt is to blame. Between Debt and the Devil challenges the belief that we need credit growth to fuel economic growth, and that rising debt is okay as long as inflation remains low.

Secondo studi recenti la Russia ha la quota più alta al mondo di dark money, soldi opachi detenuti all’estero: un trilione di dollari. Si stima che un quarto di questi sia collegato a Vladimir Putin e a suoi stretti associati, e il Cremlino sembra sempre più capace di pilotare operazioni aggressive. L'Italia è uno dei pezzi di questo grande gioco: gli oligarchi russi in Italia investono e comprano grandi proprietà. Agiscono portando avanti attività che sono a volte al confine con lo spionaggio.
