Less than a decade ago, China did not have a single high-speed train in service. Today, it owns a network of 14,000 miles of high-speed rail, far more than the rest of the world combined. Now, China is pushing its tracks into Southeast Asia, reviving a century-old colonial fantasy of an imperial railroad stretching to Singapore, and kicking off a key piece of the One Belt One Road initiative, which has a price tag of $1 trillion, and reaches inside the borders of more than 60 countries.

In September 2011, sheriff’s deputies in Iowa encountered three ethnic Chinese men near a field where a farmer was growing corn seed under contract with Monsanto.

In this powerful, incisive book, David Pilling reveals the hidden biases of economic orthodoxy and explores the alternatives to GDP, from measures of wealth, equality, and sustainability to measures of subjective well-being.

The future of finance–the way Wall Street operates and how individuals manage their money–is on the verge of upheaval. And the force underlying the change comes from China, where finance and technology are being merged into a system with consequences that resonate far beyond China’s border. The changes of this global revolution in finance and technology–fintech–will be as powerful as those wrought in social media, retailing and advertising by giants such as Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Twitter, which have overturned how we shop and communicate.

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, Thomas Friedman, in The World Is Flat, declared globalization the new economic order.

Die Digitalisierung war erst der Anfang. Jetzt startet die größte Revolution der Menschheitsgeschichte. Flugtaxis, autonome Fahrzeuge, 3D-gedruckte Häuser, Fleisch aus dem Labor - was nach Science-Fiction klingt, ist bereits Realität.

What do a barracks for British troops in the Falklands War, a floating jail off the Bronx, and temporary housing for VW factory workers in Germany have in common? The Balder Scapa: a single barge that served all three roles. Though the name would eventually change to Finnboda 12. And then to Safe Esperia. And later on, to the Bibby Resolution. And after that . . . in short, a vessel with so many names, and so many fates, that to keep it in our sights—as the protagonist of this fascinating economic parable—Ian Kumekawa has no choice but to call it, simply, the Vessel.

How do the rich keep getting richer, while dodging the long arm of the law? The ultra-rich seem to live in a different world from the rest of us. That world is called offshore. Hidden from view, the world's ultra-rich can use offshore finance to escape tax obligations, labor and environmental safety regulations, campaign finance rules, and other laws that get in their way.

Climate change is the greatest challenge our society faces. Still, our policymakers continue to put off effective action. We direly need a reliable, socially just concept as all encompassing as the problem itself to meet global warming and our planet's limits head on.

During the pandemic, government deficits skyrocketed to record highs while central banks primed the printing presses—and the time has come to pay for it. The ramifications of international COVID-19 spending could potentially last for decades, and inevitably one of the first consequences will be that central banks will lose control of interest rates, and subsequently, growth and inflation targets. The genie will be out of the bottle.

Vor einigen Jahren begann Ray Dalio beunruhigende politische und wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen zu bemerken, denen er in seiner 50-jährigen Karriere noch nie zuvor begegnet war.

Successful platforms now reach that milestone in an average of four years. In The Platform Paradox, Wharton professor Mauro F. Guillén highlights a key incongruity in this new world.
