Beyond Banking: The Economic and Social Benefits of Financial Inclusion

A fairer, healthier, more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. The renowned co-author of The Spirit Level shows us the way.'An uplifting vision for solving inequality that benefits everyone' ANDY BURNHAM'Poverty and inequality are at the heart of all our problems. Kate Pickett's book shows how tackling them must be at the heart of our solutions too' ZACK POLANSKI'Just what these times are crying out for' KATE RAWORTHHow do we ensure that everyone has good health and receives the care they need? How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish? How do we ensure safety, justice and a sustainable environment for all?In this inspiring book, world-leading social scientist Kate Pickett shows that to make a good society - in which everyone has what they need to be well, and everyone would be better off - we must prioritise the health, care, education and rehabilitation of those who have the least and suffer the most. Drawing on decades of proven solutions and success stories from around the globe, The Good Society cuts to the essence of the challenges we face and presents us with a practical, perspective-shifting vision for how to tackle them.'Genuinely transformative. A powerful and deeply humane vision that focuses on what really matters' DANIEL CHANDLER'Daringly optimistic' FINANCIAL TIMES'Electrifying' POLLY MORLAND'Vital ... shines a light for hope' INDEPENDENT

The traditional product lifecycle is rapidly losing its explanatory power in today's industrial landscape. Competitive advantage is no longer created primarily at the point of sale but is continuously generated throughout the entire lifecycle through the intelligent integration of products, services, data, and adaptive business models.
This book introduces Lifecycle Value Management as a novel paradigm for engineering, managing, and expanding value across multiple product lifecycles. It argues that industrial systems should no longer be regarded as linearly ageing assets but as dynamic, reconfigurable value systems whose performance, functionality, and economic potential can be continuously enhanced, regenerated, and reinvented. Inspired by the Turritopsis paradigm—the extraordinary biological ability to restart a lifecycle under specific conditions—the book develops a fundamentally new perspective on industrial value creation. It demonstrates how data-driven diagnostics, intelligent services, continuous feedback, digital twins, and targeted reconfiguration enable technical systems to transition repeatedly into new value-generating states instead of following an inevitable path of decline. At the heart of the book is the Lifecycle Value Architecture (LVA), complemented by an integrated operating model structured around the dimensions of Strategy, Data, Performance, and Resilience. Together, these frameworks provide managers, engineers, and researchers with a systematic approach for transforming conventional manufacturing businesses into adaptive, service-oriented, and data-driven value ecosystems. The book combines rigorous scientific foundations with numerous industrial case studies and practical management frameworks. Rather than treating lifecycle management as a maintenance discipline, it establishes it as a strategic capability for creating sustainable competitive advantage, increasing customer value, and unlocking new sources of long-term profitability.
Written for researchers, graduate students, engineers, executives, and decision-makers, this book provides both the conceptual foundation and practical guidance required to rethink industrial systems as continuously evolving value systems and to shape the future of industrial value creation.

Das Fachbuch verknüpft die Diskussion virtueller Währungen mit möglichen Auswirkungen von Bitcoin und Co. auf Zentralbankpolitik. Es richtet sich sowohl an Wissenschaftler, Experten und Praktiker als auch an interessierte Laien. Im ersten Teil bietet es einen Überblick über Geld, Geldtheorien und die Funktionsweise des konventionellen Geldsystems sowie seine aktuellen Probleme und Herausforderungen. Zu letzteren zählen insbesondere virtuelle Währungen, allen voran Bitcoin. Der zweite Teil des Buches widmet sich daher zunächst ausführlich ihrer Abgrenzung zu Fiatgeld, ihren Nutzern und Regulierungsfragen. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt schließlich auf der Bedeutung virtueller Währungen für Zentralbanken im Hinblick auf Auswirkungen auf den Geldmarkt und weitere relevante Politikfelder. Hier werden mögliche Reaktionen der Zentralbanken diskutiert und ob virtuelle Währungen eine ernstzunehmende Gefahr für das Geldschöpfungsmonopol sowie eine tatsächliche Konkurrenz im Geldsystem darstellen. Das Buch schließt mit einem Blick auf die Blockchain-Technologie und ihrer Bedeutung für verschiedene Finanzbranchen.

How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Uncovering how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence-based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, antitrust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.

Traditional approaches to labor economics posit workers as homogeneous, which can make it difficult for scholars to identify and learn from the complexities of a nation's workforce. In this book, economist Jeremiah M. Allen provides new ways to make sense of the concept of human capital.&nbsp;The book begins with foundational concepts in economics. &nbsp;Later chapters explore worker heterogeneity in labor markets, long-run equilibrium, and economic decisions based on worker preference and ability. The book also contextualizes concepts related to human capital, including skillset diversity, worker preferences, and worker ability. By integrating prospect theory and expected utility, the book draws connections between microeconomic principles and fundamentals.&nbsp;Human Capital Theory
 examines real-world scenarios and economic phenomena, equipping students, researchers, and scholars with the tools needed to analyze and conceptualize human capital today. Readers will come away from the book with enhanced knowledge of labor economics in the context of education economics and policy.

Realising that the need for conservation of the Outstanding Universal Values (OUVs) of World Heritage Sites still remains much more dominant than a holistic approach towards the wider social, economic and environmental implications, the book "World Heritage and Sustainable Development" aims to examine and propose ways in which sustainable cultural development can become an integral part of successful conservation and management within the context of World Heritage Sites (WHSs). In order to do so, thematic chapters concentrating on issues of building conservation, climate change and human development within the context of World Heritage Sites (WHSs) will be included.
