Essays zu Werk und Ästhetik

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

Queen II (Ltd. CD)

Beginning with the observation that women’s surnames are often overlooked, marginalized, or lost across generations, 
 Glowing Women
 explores the social, cultural, and institutional factors that shape women’s opportunities for fulfilment, visibility, and self-realization throughout the different stages of their lives. The book addresses a wide range of topics, including family and school education, partner choice, life as a couple, parenthood, domestic responsibilities, self-confidence, gender bias, media representation, employment, career development, and professional recognition.
 Drawing on the author's experience as a university professor, the book combines personal reflections with interviews, anecdotes, and real-life accounts from women researchers in Operations Research. These contributors come from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds and represent countries ranging from Belgium and Brazil to Israel and Nepal. Despite their different circumstances, they reveal strikingly similar experiences in navigating academic careers, balancing professional and personal responsibilities, and seeking recognition for their achievements.Of particular relevance to women in academia and STEM disciplines, the book highlights both the visible and less visible barriers that continue to affect women's participation, advancement, and leadership. Through candid and often inspiring narratives, it offers insights into the challenges faced by women researchers while also celebrating their resilience, accomplishments, and capacity to shape their own paths.Combining personal testimony, professional experience, and reflections on gender and identity, the book offers an engaging perspective on the lives of women researchers in Operations Research. It will be of interest to academics, researchers, students, and professionals seeking to better understand the opportunities and challenges that women encounter in their personal and professional journeys, while contributing to broader conversations about equality, recognition, and inclusion in academia and beyond.

Stories of Identity, Family, and Career in Operations Research

Glowing Women

A manifesto in lectures about the material conditions and absurdities of being a writer and adjunct professor under capitalism-by turns funny, angry, despairing, and hopeful-from a writer who "has invented a new form" (Annie Ernaux). 
 
 In the spring of 2025, Heroines and Drifts author Kate Zambreno taught a weeklong nonfiction "craft" lecture at Columbia University, thinking through the crises of the adjunct loop in the United States and the question of labor and writing in publishing and the university. This project became more absurd, and more urgent, as the Trump administration quickly turned to authoritarianism and the university became complicit with the administration, creating a dystopian and paranoid atmosphere in which students were kidnapped from university housing and student protestors were expelled. How can we study together and create under such conditions? 
 
 The resulting essays are funny, angry, often in despair, and somehow also full of optimism as to the future of writing, even amidst the collapse of the institutions meant to support writers and students. Zambreno engages with texts including Sofia Samatar's Opacities, Fred Moten and Stefano Harney's The Undercommons, Noémi Lefebvre's The Poetics of Work, Heike Geissler's Seasonal Associate, and Samuel Delaney's Times Square Red, Times Square Blue. 
 
 A craft book against a "craft" divorced from political and material realities, Against Nonfiction is for anyone trying to write and make art in impossible times.

Mercatus Studies in Political and Social Economy

“In&nbsp;Disruptive Order, authors Nona and Virgil Storr provide a compelling reassessment of the significance of the Burma Road Riot.… Beyond a solid theoretical intervention, the authors are to be commended for the depth of archival and ethnographic research that makes this study an excellent contribution to Bahamian social-political history and larger studies on public disturbances.”—Christopher Curry, author of&nbsp;Freedom and Resistance
"This book provides a fascinating account of the 1942 riot that occurred in the Bahamas.”—Matthew Moran, author of The Republic and the Riots
“It does not glorify unrest but provides a thoughtful framework to understand why such moments arise and how they shape the trajectory of a people.”—J. Kwasi Thompson, Member of Parliament for East Grand Bahama and Former Minister of State for Grand Bahama and Finance
Are riots more than just breakdowns of order? Are rioters just violently and chaotically disrupting the status quo or are they individuals acting together in a&nbsp;surprisingly orderly manner? In Disruptive Order, Nona Martin Storr and Virgil Henry Storr argue that riots are rule-governed, self-generating, emergent phenomena. Viewing riots as what they call “tensive emergent orders” offers a grammar for discussing riots that foregrounds the motivations and actions of individual rioters, the tacit rules that rioters follow, and the socio-political causes and consequences of riots . Applying this grammar to the 1942 riot that occurred in the Bahamas, Storr and Storr demonstrate how the 1942 riot was not just a momentary outburst but a watershed event in the country’s history, ushering in far-reaching socio-political changes. As we move into an era of frequent extreme protests, Disruptive Order urges us to rethink why the threatened and marginalized sometimes speak through riots and gives us a framework to assess the impact of their speaking in this way.

Nona Martin Storr is Senior Affiliated Scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.&nbsp;
Virgil Henry Storr is Don C. Lavoie Senior Fellow in the Mercatus Center's F.A. Hayek Program in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and Professor of Economics at George Mason University.

Flannery O'Connor on Writing

A bold and brilliant new collection of essays by one of our most important writers of life in America today This new collection gathers together for the first time sixteen essays by one of our most revered chroniclers of life in America, a landmark commentary on family, faith, community, and the threats of modernization. Ranging from the devastating effects of war on children to the endless problems of industrialism and the ubiquitous need for connection and community, Dispatches From Rural America captures a country isolated from its land and beginnings, too focused on mass production and output, and perilously estranged from the spiritual centers that make up the foundation of our lives.&nbsp; On the cusp of the fiftieth anniversary of Berry’s seminal book The Unsettling of America, Dispatches From Rural America is urgent and vital reading in this time of political chaos from one of our most important writers.
