For more than three decades, Jeffrey D. Sachs has been at the forefront of international economic problem solving. But Sachs turns his attention back home in The Price of Civilization, a book that is essential reading for every American. In a forceful, impassioned, and personal voice, he offers not only a searing and incisive diagnosis of our country’s economic ills but also an urgent call for Americans to restore the virtues of fairness, honesty, and foresight as the foundations of national prosperity.

He's one of America's most capable, canny, candid, and independent financial experts. Now David M. Walker sounds a call to action. Comeback America is a tough-minded, innovative, inspiring guide to help us avoid the approaching economic abyss and put the country back on track again.

A century ago, the idea of 'the economy' didn't exist. Now economics is the supreme ideology of our time, with its own rules and language. The trouble is most of us can't speak it. This is damaging democracy. Dangerous agendas are hidden inside mathematical wrappers; controversial policies are presented as 'proven' by the models of economic 'science'. Government is being turned over to a publicly unaccountable technocratic elite. The Econocracy reveals that economics is too important to be left to the economists

The United States has been epitomized as a land of opportunity, where hard work and skill can bring personal success and economic well-being. The American Dream has captured the imagination of people from all walks of life, and to many, it represents the heart and soul of the country. But there is another, darker side to the bargain that America strikes with its people - it is the price we pay for our individual pursuit of the American Dream.

In looking at the forces that shaped the 2016 presidential election, one thing is clear: Much of the population believes that our economic system is rigged to enrich the privileged elites at the expense of hard-working Americans. This is a belief held equally on both sides of political spectrum, and it seems only to be gaining momentum.

Before the global financial meltdown of 2008, India's economy was thriving and its GDP growth was cruising at an impressive 8.8 percent. The economic boom impacted a large section of Indians, even if unequally. With sustained high growth over an extended period, India could have achieved what economists call a "take-off" (rapid and self-sustained GDP growth). The global financial meltdown disrupted this momentum in 2008.

This book is a critical assessment of five years of the brand of economics Prime Minister Narendra Modi has championed, often referred to as "Modinomics". Brought into power with the biggest political mandate in almost three decades, did the NDA government succeed in gainfully transforming India's economic trajectory or did it squander a once-in-a-generation opportunity? The book conjectures it is the latter, and analyses why the Modi government's stewardship of the economy is a "great disappointment".

From world-renowned economist Paul Collier, a candid diagnosis of the failures of capitalism and a pragmatic and realistic vision for how we can repair it.

Spanning nine countries, filled with heroic tales of bold decisions and self-sacrifice, and probing vast historical undercurrents, "The Miracle" takes readers inside private boardroom meetings, heated business negotiations, factory floors, and presidential cabinet sessions for a behind-the-scenes look at the events that shaped Asia's economic ascent - and will shape the world in the century to come.

In this time of tumult, when Britain is wrestling with the question of what sort of nation it wishes to be, its politics is stuck. Power is hoarded by a distant and unresponsive centre, and our two largest political parties have both been captured by those on their outer edges. Too many of us have been left politically homeless. In Start Again, Philip Collins, Times journalist and until recently a lifelong Labour voter, offers a road map to a different political destination.

Ein einzigartiger Einblick in die Hinterzimmer der Macht. Auf öffentlicher Bühne inszeniert sich Olaf Scholz sorgfältig als sachorientierter Macher. Doch wie sieht die Realität hinter den Kulissen aus? Nichts verrät darüber so viel wie seine Verwicklung als Hamburger Bürgermeister in das 47-Millionen-Euro Steuergeschenk an eine Privatbank. Nie hat er so sehr die Kontrolle über sein Image verloren, keine Affäre war so gefährlich für ihn. Und keine verrät so viel über ihn. Gestützt auf Zeugen und neue Dokumente enthüllt dieses Buch Scholz' Rolle in dem Skandal.

Gazprom, Google und der Fluch der Abhängigkeit: Warum Monopole so gefährlich sind. Gazprom, Google, Blackrock, USA, China und Russland: Konzerne und Staaten mit übergroßer Marktmacht greifen tief in unser Leben ein. Der Monopolismus mit seiner Herrschaft über Rohstoffe und Kapital, Energie, Nahrungsmittel und Daten droht den Wettbewerb abzuschaffen. Die Folgen sind weniger Innovation, höhere Preise, aber vor allem wirtschaftliche und politische Abhängigkeiten.

Alan Blinder, one of the world's most influential economists and one of the field's best writers, draws on his deep firsthand experience to provide an authoritative account of sixty years of monetary and fiscal policy in the United States. Spanning twelve presidents, from John F. Kennedy to Joe Biden, and eight Federal Reserve chairs, from William McChesney Martin to Jerome Powell, this is an insider's story of macroeconomic policy that hasn't been told before—one that is a pleasure to listen to, and as interesting as it is important.

Populists on both sides of the political aisle routinely announce that the American Dream is dead. According to them, the game has been rigged by elites, workers can't get ahead, wages have been stagnant for decades, and the middle class is dying. Michael R. Strain, director of economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, disputes this rhetoric as both wrong and dangerous. In this succinctly argued volume, he shows that, on measures of economic opportunity and quality of life, there has never been a better time to be alive in America.

Author Natalie Foster, cofounder of the Economic Security Project, has had a front-row seat to the dramatic leaps forward in government guarantees over the past decade, from student debt relief to the child tax credit expansion. Her brilliantly sketched vision for a new Guarantee Framework is rooted in real life experiences, collaborations with some of today's most important activists and visionaries, and a concrete sense of the policies that are possible—and ready to implement—in twenty-first-century America.

With clarity and moral courage, Shelton charts the course to a brighter future. She’s one of the few economists bold enough to challenge the inflationary policies of the Federal Reserve, emphasizing how today’s policies enrich elites at the expense of—you guessed it—poor and middle-class Americans. This, Shelton insists, must end. And it can end—easily. But Shelton doesn’t stop there. Her vision is for not only America but also for people around the world. Global, economic upliftment, she insists, need not come at the expense of domestic prosperity. We can have both.

Alla fine degli anni Sessanta, Italia, Francia, Germania occidentale e Gran Bretagna – Paesi già colpiti dal terrorismo interno – si trovarono a far fronte a una nuova minaccia: le organizzazioni armate, nate in Medio Oriente, che internazionalizzarono la propria lotta, esportando il terrorismo in Europa. Raggiunsero il loro obiettivo? Generarono il caos internazionale? O invece i Paesi europei riuscirono, almeno temporaneamente, a disarmare i terroristi, includendoli nel sistema delle relazioni internazionali?

The governance of natural resources used by many individuals in common is an issue of increasing concern to policy analysts. Both state control and privatization of resources have been advocated, but neither the state nor the market have been uniformly successful in solving common pool resource problems.

Así no es desmitifica conceptos equivocados y devela verdades incómodas que demasiados mexicanos creen, pero que son falsas. Ideas que asumimos sobre meritocracia, clase media, clasismo, salarios e impuestos, pero que son escandalosamente erradas. Burdas mentiras que sirven para justificar las más grandes injusticias de México.

Dai tempi delle guerre persiane, Oriente e Occidente sono fratelli coltelli, amici e nemici, sogno e incubo. "L’Oriente è l’Oriente, l’Occidente è l’Occidente: e nessuno potrà mai accordarli", dichiara Rudyard Kipling al tempo della fondazione dell’impero britannico d’India. Sulla base dei troppi malintesi generati dal loro confronto sono emersi anche "ismi" ideologici, tanto accaniti tra loro quanto ambigui: orientalismo e occidentalismo, avvolti nel dilatare delle loro contraddizioni. Già Oswald Spengler aveva decretato il "tramonto dell’Occidente".
