Public Policy

Global Public Policy Imperatives

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>

Economics for Public Policy

Markets, State, and People

Everyone eats, but rarely do we investigate why we eat what we eat. Why do we love spices, sweets, coffee? How did rice become such a staple food throughout so much of eastern Asia? Everyone Eats examines the social and cultural reasons for our food choices and provides an explanation of the nutritional reasons for why humans eat what they do, resulting in a unique cultural and biological approach to the topic. E. N. Anderson explains the economics of food in the globalization era, food's relationship to religion, medicine, and ethnicity, and offers suggestions on how to end hunger, starvation, and malnutrition. Anderson also brings insight into the historical and scientific underpinnings of our food customs. This thoroughly updated third edition incorporates the latest food scholarship, including breakthrough findings that have been made in archaeology and nutrition, the new science of food production, and the effects of climate change and pandemics on food supply chains. A perennial classic in the anthropology of food, Everyone Eats feeds our need to understand human ecology by explaining the ways that cultures and political systems structure the edible environment.

Sustainable Business Development

This open access volume connects normative foundations, strategic decision-making, and hands-on implementation of sustainable business development practices within a single volume, rather than treating them as separate domains. It brings together perspectives ranging from ethics, leadership education, and societal transformation to firm-level governance, consumer behavior, and applied circular economy tools—offering an integrated view of sustainability across levels of analysis. Another distinguishing feature is its strong practice–theory balance: conceptual contributions are consistently linked to real-world cases, methodologies, and actionable instruments. Finally, the volume stands out for its truly global authorship, with contributors from many countries and regions worldwide.Academics and researchers working on sustainable development, policymakers, and corporate executives managing organizational change and development will find this book of interest.

Foundations, Strategies and Practices for Sustainable Business Transformation

Noch nie gab es so viel Reichtum - und das ist ein Problem für uns alle!In kaum einem anderen westlichen Land ist Vermögen so ungleich verteilt wie bei uns - und die Schere geht immer weiter auf. Dieses Buch zeigt das schockierende Ausmaß der Ungleichheit in Deutschland. Dass die Vermögen der Reichen von Generation zu Generation immer weiter wachsen, während jeder Sechste in Armut lebt, ist gesellschaftliches Dynamit. Martyna Linartas zeigt, dass es von unserem politischen Willen abhängt, daran etwas zu ändern, und wie eine gerechte Lösung aussehen könnte.In dieser hellsichtigen und fundierten Analyse wird das politische Tabuthema unserer Zeit seziert: Dass wir die Reichen nicht besteuern, gefährdet unseren Wohlstand, unsere Umwelt und unsere Demokratie. Aber es geht auch anders - wenn wir nur wollen! Anhand von exklusiven Interviews mit der mächtigen Wirtschaftselite über Ungleichheit und das Zusammenspiel von Wirtschaft und Politik sowie einer einmaligen historischen Analyse zeigt sich, wie eine Besteuerung von Überreichen funktionieren kann. Dieses Buch gibt uns alle Argumente an die Hand, um jetzt zu handeln.'Ganz wenige haben zu viel. Zu viele haben ganz wenig. Dieses Buch verdeutlicht dies grandios und zeigt die Auswege aus dem Wahnsinn auf.' - Tilo Jung

Theorien für die Soziale Arbeit

Integrated Mega-Models and Systems Science

This open access book offers a systematic introduction to operational thinking as a distinctive Chinese cognitive framework for understanding and governing complex systems. Drawing on five millennia of Chinese civilization, it traces how strategic wisdom evolved from Yu the Great’s flood control, Dujiangyan and the Three Gorges Project to today’s South–North Water Transfer, “Dual Carbon” strategy, smart cities and AI-enabled decision-making. This book provides an original “trinity” framework of systems thinking, coordinated planning thinking, and balancing thinking, explaining how structural cognition, process integration, and conflict coordination work together to solve multi-objective, multi-constraint problems. Through rich historical and contemporary cases—from classical texts such as The Art of War, Qimin Yaoshu and Discourses on Salt and Iron to modern mega-projects, digital platforms and resilient supply chains—it shows how Chinese governance wisdom has been continuously transformed into modern methodologies for optimization, risk control and strategic planning. Methodologically, this book develops a complete toolkit of “structural cognition–process integration–conflict coordination,” supported by cognitive models, case analysis, and digital-intelligent teaching tools. It demonstrates how operational thinking can guide national governance modernization, regional coordinated development, industrial upgrading, and personal time- and life-management (for example, via the “Four Quadrants Rule”). By integrating traditional culture, systems science, management science and AI, this book builds an independent knowledge system of operational thinking with Chinese characteristics, contemporary value and global relevance. It helps readers move from “cognitive mapping” to “practical navigation,” and from intuitive judgment to data- and model-driven decision-making.

The Mind of Operations

Two of the world's leading researchers on behavior and decision-making join forces to equip readers with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to live our best, most human lives in an age of machines. “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous.” —E.O WilsonOur choices and experience of the world are increasingly shaped by powerful interests and godlike technology. Somebody else is deciding what ‘good’ choices look like—and often that means good for them, not for you. From the social media apps hijacking your attention and algorithms quietly curating your reality, to the markets profiting from confusion and AI systems slowly eroding your thinking: your choices are shaped by people who understand your psychology better than you do, and use that knowledge for their own ends. Against this backdrop, it is easy to feel diminished and 'done to'.This book is about fighting back—individually and collectively—and becoming the best of ourselves. Becoming super-humans. Drawing on over 1,000 experiments run across more than 70 countries, Halpern and Costa show how you can boost your own agency and decision-making, how we can upgrade our systems and institutions so that it is easier for everyone to choose well, and how we can shape AI so that it amplifies human capability rather than replacing it.Super-Human ultimately asks us to make the biggest choice of all: in an age when machines can think, decide and even feel on our behalf—what kind of humans do we want to be? <ul><li>Human. Reclaiming agency and becoming a better decision-maker (Chapters 1-3). Understanding how human attention and sense-making works, so that we can self-guide, rather than be hacked by others - and more effectively turn our intentions into action.</li><li>Supra-human. Building systems that support us to choose well together. (Chapters 4-7). Humans are social creatures, who think aloud and together. It's a feature not a fault. Social networks, markets and institutions strongly enable us to achieve things we could never do alone, but also operate as ‘supra-human’ influences on our behavior. Yet individually and collectively we have power to channel and shape them too - more power than we realize</li><li>Super-human. Shaping the technology that will shape us. (Chapter 8) AI could be the ultimate ‘bicycle of the mind’, but it can also become a crutch rather than a coach. It poses opportunity and challenge - to boost our capabilities to superhuman levels, or to become our inadvertent master.</li><li>Future-human. What kind of humans do we ultimately want to be? (Conclusion) Our minds today have been shaped by the technologies and institutions of our ancestors, in ways they could not have anticipated. We can make choices that will alter our minds and those that follow: what shall we choose?</li></ul>
