Circular Economy Implementation for
Sustainability in the Built Environment

Circular Economy Implementation for Sustainability in the Built Environment

Capitalism has resulted in stupendous growth and prosperity in the Western world, underlining its importance as an engine for creation and innovation. Communism arose to counter capitalism's ills as a method of wealth distribution, as manifested through the increasing gap between the rich and poor even in the most prosperous nations. Yet no country is either truly capitalist or communist, and the simplistic polarization of the world into two camps ignores the vital importance of systems that promote both innovation and equitable distribution. This book offers an insightful discussion on the ills that capitalism and communism have meant to address, and the pitfalls of the two approaches, most importantly with regards to the misconceptions of "profit," the misfit child of economics and accounting. Analysis is also extended to consider behavioral theories from a needs perspective, including marginal theory and behavior based on fear. Finally, the concept of the new, "middle way" of entrepreneurism is advocated, in which the voices of all stakeholders (including the environment and the earth itself) are considered in any endeavor, thereby addressing the iniquities in distribution, while emphasizing the creative and innovative needs of all individuals.

Residual: A Sub-distributive System For The Market Economy

This book examines the metaverse as an emerging digital ecosystem shaped by the convergence of blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, virtual worlds, and augmented and virtual reality. It explains how digital economies operate within virtual environments, covering foundational concepts such as decentralized platforms, NFTs, blockchain gaming, digital ownership, and the technological infrastructure that supports immersive online experiences. The content places the metaverse within a broader historical and economic context, outlining how it builds on earlier internet models while introducing new forms of interaction, value exchange, and digital identity. The book is intended for general readers, students, and professionals who want a clear and structured understanding of the metaverse without requiring advanced technical knowledge. It adopts an explanatory and descriptive approach, combining conceptual analysis with real-world examples, project overviews, and discussions of risks, challenges, and use cases, providing an educational overview of how virtual worlds and digital economies function and evolve.

What the Metaverse Is and How Virtual Worlds and Digital Economies Work

Inside the Metaverse

Most innovation advice breaks down when technology leads the market.
For decades, we've been taught that innovation starts with customer validation, empathy maps, and rapid feedback loops. That approach works when problems are well understood and solutions are incremental. But it quietly fails when feedback loops are slow, expensive, or nonexistent, when the technology itself must exist before customers can even imagine what is possible.
Build First, Market Later is a contrarian but practical book for engineers, technical founders, and system builders working at the edge of what is possible. It explains why breakthrough innovation rarely starts with market demand, why customers often cannot articulate needs for capabilities that do not yet exist, and why the most important innovations emerge from building first, then engaging the market when it is ready.
This book is not a rejection of Lean Startup or design thinking. It is an explanation of their limits, and a guide to when different innovation methods actually apply.
Drawing on examples ranging from lasers and semiconductors to software platforms, AI systems, medical technology, and open-source infrastructure, Farhad Abtahi shows how innovation fails not because of bad ideas, but because of misordered steps. Validation without physics. Stories without systems. Markets consulted before capabilities exist.
Build First, Market Later does not offer a recipe. It offers something more useful: a way to reason about innovation when the usual playbooks stop working.
If you are optimizing features, this book is not for you.
If you are building something that has never existed before, it is.

An Economist's Guide to Saving Time, Making Money, and Living Well

The Best Decisions You'll Ever Make

A silent revolution is underway in India today. Starting in 2020, twelve states have rolled out unconditional cash transfers to nearly 118 million women. While the media disparages these transfers as 'freebies', Wages for Housework: India's Experiment with Unconditional Cash Transfers to Women offers the first book-length study of these transfers, using social reproduction feminism, particularly the wages for housework campaign, to theorize unconditional cash transfers as providing economic recognition of women's unpaid domestic and care work. Against the backdrop of a low female labour force participation rate, a residual welfare regime, and an entrenched culture of gendered familialism wherein women are presumed responsible for care, the book addresses arguments for and against unconditional cash transfers in feminist economics and welfare theory. In doing so, it recollects the vision of the founding mothers of the Indian Constitution who advocated for the recognition of women's unpaid work. It traces how Indian courts have, since Independence, treated women's unpaid domestic and care work as being on par with an occupation to hold that the economic recognition of unpaid work is a step towards the constitutional vision of equality and dignity. Through an in-depth study of unconditional cash transfers in three states, namely, Goa, Assam, and West Bengal (implemented in 2013, 2020, and 2021, respectively), Kotiswaran elaborates on state-specific welfare regimes and analyses the implementation of cash transfers through interviews with bureaucrats, academics, feminist activists, and women beneficiaries to understand if and how they have resulted in women's empowerment, whether in terms of education, paid employment, or the gendered division of labour. In conclusion, the work posits that unconditional cash transfers represent an unprecedented and welcome expansion of the Indian welfare regime and to be truly gender transformative, they need to be embedded in a broader feminist agenda for care.

“Mind-expanding . . . The Score is so exuberant and readable that the depth and seriousness of its insights almost sneak up on you.” —Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times “Brilliant and wildly original . . . The Score is socially attentive, historically literate and imbued with sensual glee.” —Becca Rothfeld, The Washington Post “I give this excellent book five stars.” —Stuart Jeffries, Financial Times A philosophy of games to help us win back control over what we value The philosopher C. Thi Nguyen—one of the leading experts on the philosophy of games and the philosophy of data—takes us deep into the heart of games, and into the depths of bureaucracy, to see how scoring systems shape our desires. Games are the most important art form of our era. They embody the spirit of free play. They show us the subtle beauty of action everywhere in life in video games, sports, and boardgames—but also cooking, gardening, fly-fishing, and running. They remind us that it isn’t always about outcomes, but about how glorious it feels to be doing the thing. And the scoring systems help get us there, by giving us new goals to try on. Scoring systems are also at the center of our corporations and bureaucracies—in the form of metrics and rankings. They tell us exactly how to measure our success. They encourage us to outsource our values to an external authority. And they push on us to value simple, countable things. Metrics don’t capture what really matters; they only capture what’s easy to measure. The price of that clarity is our independence. The Score asks us is this the game you really want to be playing?
