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

Yale Program on Financial Stability Series

A critical examination of the Federal Reserve-told by the policymakers, economists, and observers who know it bestThe Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful institutions in the world-and one of the least understood. Drawing on twenty-one interviews with former governors, reserve bank presidents, staff economists, lawmakers, journalists, scholars, international central bankers, and investors, Fed Reckoning explores how the institution has navigated the defining upheavals of the modern era: the global financial crisis, the pandemic shock, the post-2021 inflation surge, and the banking turmoil of 2023. It traces the modern Federal Reserve from Volcker to Powell, examining its evolving approach to the dual mandate, financial stability, regulation and supervision, and communication.Just as importantly, these interviews reveal the people behind the institution: their judgments, disagreements, frustrations, and sense of mission. The result is a candid, deeply informed portrait of the Federal Reserve at a moment when its power is immense, its independence is under pressure, and its future path is far from certain-and essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how it makes and defends its decisions.

Fed Reckoning

This book challenges the view that legal positivism should be reduced to a conceptual analysis of legal validity. Instead, Elena Namli reclaims legal positivism as a theory of the relationship between law, morality, and politics. Presenting novel interpretations of the classical works of Herbert L. A. Hart, Joseph Raz, and Jürgen Habermas, Namli frames legal positivism as a theory that makes possible a moral and political critique of valid law. Moreover, this book defends the dialectical relationship between law, politics, and morality by combining a positivist approach to legal validity with a constructivist ethical theory which strengthens the critical potential of legal positivism. Legally valid norms may not always be morally justified, but understanding the moral quality of legal regulations is essential for comprehending modern law.

Legal Positivism, Politics, and Critical Ethics

Is shrimp becoming Ecuador's new oil&nbsp;– and at what cost? Valerie Lenikus uncovers the political-economic drivers and the socio-ecological implications of extractivism: how export-led aquaculture has razed mangroves, displaced coastal livelihoods, and sharpened struggles over land and natural resources. Based on the Latin American debate on extractivism, historical conditions and inequalities, and the controversial constitution of 2008, the complex power relations on different spatial levels are depicted, linking the central role of the state and its policies with concrete struggles of communities.

Constitutionalism in Asia

This book uses the concept of 'constitutional moments' as a lens to study constitutional developments in 15 Asian jurisdictions in the last few decades. Whereas the theory of constitutional moments was originally developed by Bruce Ackerman in the context of American constitutional history, this book adapts and further develops this theory to elucidate and understand contemporary Asian constitutional phenomena. A broader conception of constitutional moments is developed that goes beyond Ackerman's concept of a highly-mobilised public effecting a significant transformation in the prevailing constitutional paradigm, with the 'moment' unfolding over a long duration. The chapters in this volume aim to identify key changes, developments, trends, transformations, and events that have had a profound impact on the polity and constitutional landscape, with lasting ripple effects that continue to affect recent constitutional developments of each jurisdiction concerned. Viewed collectively, these moments present a snapshot of the key issues in contemporary Asian constitutional developments. While the project of constitutionalism first began in the West, this book tells exciting stories from Asian jurisdictions as major laboratories of constitutionalism in the twenty-first century. It demonstrates that while significant progress has been achieved, the struggle for constitutionalism in Asia is still very much a work in progress, facing many trials and challenges in many places. Both hope and danger abound.

Managing Monetary Policy Under Crisis

The Central Bank of Libya

The discovery of major offshore oil reserves in 2015 set Guyana on a transformative path, culminating in the establishment of its oil industry and positioning the country among the world’s top producers per capita. This rapid ascent contrasts sharply with decades of underdevelopment, when the country remained at the bottom of the global ladder despite its rich natural resources. Today, Guyana faces the dual challenge of managing newfound wealth and safeguarding against the resource curse and Dutch disease, all within a context of political polarization, ethnic diversity, and governance distress.
 
 This book examines the democratic foundations essential for stability and development, focusing on electoral system design and reform. It explores twelve systems in practice worldwide, the nuanced properties that shape electoral outcomes, and the implications of diversity for inclusive governance. The chapters also explore election management structures, which are critical to democratic legitimacy and fairness.
 
 Drawing on international experience and a growing body of literature, this book argues that Guyana’s development ambitions hinge on institutional strengthening—beginning with electoral reform. Electoral reform would take a targeted approach to improving fairness, reducing zero-sum governance, and creating conditions for sustainable democracy. The resulting book underscores the need for a comprehensive, consultative process and highlights the enduring roles of civil society and political elites in shaping institutional change.

Electoral Reform for a Stable Democracy in Guyana

Oil, Diversity, and Electoral Justice

This collection explores the relationship between race, racism, and human rights law. It seeks to illuminate, in particular, how the European Court of Human Rights articulates the category of race, how human rights are experienced (differently) by racial minorities, and whether the European Convention on Human Rights has the tools to recognise and address racial harms. By centring race, it considers how Convention rights would look through the lens of race and ultimately interrogates if human rights law is part of the solution or part of the problem. In pursuing these inquiries, the collection brings together two fields of scholarship that have largely developed independently of each other, namely law and race, and European human rights law. Drawing upon rich expertise from theorists and human rights scholars, it is the first of its kind to systematically analyse race and racism in relation to a wide range of themes in European human rights law, including state violence, terrorism, privacy, protest, migration, hate speech, religion, domestic abuse, reproductive freedom, medicine, education, and climate change.

Race, Racism, and the European Convention on Human Rights

This book explores what judges do and how they perceive their roles in the context of growing dissensus over liberal democracy. Focusing on the European landscape, it asks eighteen judges how they perceive their roles when judicial independence and democracy are under pressure. The book features interviews with judges from various EU and non-EU Member States and courts, complemented by a series of academic commentaries discussing the relationship between law and politics in times of dissensus over liberal democracy. Each narrative reveals unique personal experiences and reflections, shedding light on the role of the judiciary and the rule of law in the face of contemporary challenges. While the book engages with these issues through European narratives, its findings contribute to broader debates beyond Europe and the EU.

Insights from European Judges

Dissensus over Liberal Democracy

Relationships in trade and investment between Europe, the United States, and sub-Saharan Africa have long been asymmetrical, marked by systemic overcharges, underpayments, and exploitative practices. This book highlights a concept called kleptomation: a systematic, sustained theft of labor, resources, and wealth. Chapters examine the depth, breadth, and persistence of this economic injustice, exploring the inauthentic accumulation of wealth on the part of the West over the course of several hundred years.In the book, economist Richard F.&nbsp;America&nbsp;proposes a unified framework for reparations to address centuries of wrongful enrichment, illicit transactions, and hidden subsidies that have fueled Western prosperity. This framework is clearly defined and grounded in redistributive economic justice. Acknowledging previous attempts to repair the damage caused by kleptomation, this book presents a 40-year plan that international development executives, policymakers, and program managers can use to scale up capital transfers for development programs in Africa.Drawing on historical analysis and contemporary policy debates, the book exposes flaws in international trade accounting that obscure the true scale of wealth extraction. It calls for sustained capital transfers and structural reforms to recover unjust enrichment and accelerate Africa’s development over the next four decades. The resulting resource provides practical guidance for policymakers, development practitioners, and global institutions—including the World Bank, the European Union, the African Union, and civil society—seeking to end chronic poverty and achieve broadly shared prosperity within 40 years.Richard F.&nbsp;America&nbsp;
 is Professor of Practice Emeritus in the&nbsp;McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. His research focuses on&nbsp;community reinvestment and investing in Africa. He is the author of numerous&nbsp;books and scholarly and professional articles. His seminal article, “What Do You
 
 People Want?” (Harvard Business Review, 1969), helped set the stage for the ongoing discussion of a form of reparations in the United States. His work in Africa has focused on improving management education, impact investing, and corporate philanthropy, strengthening African business schools, and expanding local and community-based economic development. He is the editor of

Restoring Africa’s Stolen Wealth

Das auf mehrere Bande angelegte Werk prasentiert nahezu das gesamte deutsche Verfassungsrecht des Zeitraumes zwischen 1806 und 1918. Hiermit wird der sich gleichsam schrittweise vollziehende Ubergang von einem traditionell standischen oder gar furstlich-absolutistischen zu einem zumeist monarchisch-konstitutionellen System aufgearbeitet, dessen jaher Untergang schlielich in die nationalstaatlich-republikanisch gepragte demokratisch-parlamentarische Staatsform Weimars mundet. Mit dem Gesamtwerk steht dem Fachpublikum eine leicht zugangliche, bislang nicht gekannte Fulle von Dokumenten zur Verfugung, die fur die verfassungsrechtliche Entwicklung Deutschlands und seiner einzelnen Staaten von zentraler Bedeutung waren. Dabei wird groer Wert auf die authentische, d. h. buchstaben- und zeichengetreue Ubernahme der Texte gelegt. Dem jeweiligen Dokumententeil sind in jedem Band "Historische Einfuhrungen" vorangestellt. In diesem Rahmen werden an den einschlagigen Dokumenten orientierte (verfassungs-) rechtliche, zeitlich wie territorial ubergreifende entwicklungsgeschichtliche Darstellungen vorgenommen. In dem hier vorliegenden 3. Band werden erstmals uber 450 Verfassungsdokumente prasentiert, welche fur die verfassungsstaatliche Entwicklung des Groherzogtums Berg und des Herzogtums Braunschweig pragend waren. Begleitet wird diese Textedition durch eine ausfuhrliche historische Einfuhrung.
