Consumer Economics

'Book of the Year' as chosen by The Conversation'Disconcerting . . . a disturbing and important book' NEW SCIENTIST'Smart and wonderfully readable' NEW YORK TIMESThe bad science and sinister ideas behind Silicon Valley's foolish obsession with immortality, AI paradise and limitless growth.Tech billionaires have decided that they should determine our futures for us. According to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman and more, the only good future for humanity is one powered by technology: trillions of humans living in space, functionally immortal, served by superintelligent AIs.In More Everything Forever, scientist and writer Adam Becker investigates these wildly implausible and often profoundly immoral visions of tomorrow to reveal why, in reality, there is no good evidence that they will, or should, come to pass. The giants of Silicon Valley claim that their ideas are based on science, but the truth is darker: they come from a jumbled mix of shallow futurism and racist pseudoscience. And behind these fanciful visions of space colonies and digital immortality is a cynical power grab, at the expense of essential work spent on solving real problems like the climate crisis.More Everything Forever exposes the powerful myths that dominate Silicon Valley, challenging us to see how foolish, and dangerous, these visions of the future are.

Strive for a 5 Guide for the AP® Microeconomics Examination

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>

This collective volume re-evaluates Joseph Nye's concept of soft power, arguing that its original Western, liberal framework no longer aligns with twenty-first-century multipolarity. While historically linked to post-Cold War American hegemony, soft power has shifted due to the rise of non-Western actors, including China, Turkey, Japan, Vietnam and Russia, which project influence through regional narratives rather than universal norms. These emerging powers often leverage culture, economic support, technological export, and anti-colonial memory to challenge Western influence. Consequently, the traditional distinction between soft and hard power is progressively blurred, as cultural influence is now deeply intertwined with strategic competition. The book concludes that modern global influence is increasingly derived from embodying distinct, non-Western alternatives, transforming soft power into a tool for geopolitical competition rather than universalistic persuasion.

Soft Power Beyond the West

World Scientific Lecture Notes In Economics And Policy

This book attempts to understand the operation and properties of 'market economies'. We do this by carefully examining, refining and in some cases extending the major theorems that Microeconomics has established in response to the Walrasian conjecture. We critically evaluate theorems and results, that assert the existence, uniqueness, stability, optimality and empirical relevance of Walrasian equilibrium states. As a result of our work, we attempt to comment on the wisdom of recommending that socio-economic systems operate as a collection of deregulated competitive markets.

Plate Heat Exchanger Enhancement Techniques: in Support of the Energy Transition and a Circular Economy provides fundamental knowledge on the applications of the plate heat exchanger (PHE) and how it can be optimized to make energy conversion more efficient. In addition, it introduces relevant studies that explain the heat transfer mechanism of the PHE, its design, and how developing more compact and evolved heat exchangers contributes to a sustainable, cleaner, and more energy-efficient future. Researchers, scientists, engineers, professionals, and students working in nanotechnology, materials science, and sustainability will find this volume valuable to their work.

Plate Heat Exchanger Enhancement Techniques

Introduces a data-driven framework for measuring governance through a fourteen-component Macro-Governance Index, demonstrating its strong predictive power for national development outcomes and offering practical tools to diagnose governance gaps and guide policy interventions.
Every year, governments borrow trillions, spend billions on development programs, and publish volumes of economic statistics-yet no widely accepted framework exists for answering a deceptively simple question: is governance actually working? Traditional approaches rely on subjective expert assessments or narrowly focused indices that measure inputs rather than outcomes. Macro-Governance Theory proposes that governance can be measured with the same empirical rigor we bring to medicine, engineering, and economics-and that doing so is essential if citizens and policymakers are to hold institutions accountable for results. 

Drawing on 26 years of publicly available data across 170 countries, the book constructs the Macro-Governance Index (MGI)-a fourteen-component composite spanning infrastructure, connectivity, financial inclusion, human capital, security, institutional quality, and economic integration. The MGI correlates with the UN Human Development Index at r = 0.97, and this relationship is not driven by income alone: controlling for GNI, the framework retains substantial independent predictive power, confirming that governance infrastructure-not just wealth-determines whether nations deliver well-being to their citizens. 

The book reveals patterns that conventional measures miss. Novel metrics for credit access and household-level financial reach show that the effective economic gap between the Global North and Sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 70× rather than the 53× that standard income comparisons suggest-a hidden disparity with profound implications for development policy. A governance simulation framework models how investments in one dimension cascade through others, enabling policymakers to identify the highest-leverage interventions for their country's specific development stage. 

Seven detailed case studies-Singapore, Rwanda, Estonia, Botswana, Chile, Costa Rica, and Lebanon-demonstrate how the framework diagnoses governance strengths and weaknesses in practice. An analysis of the ten fastest-rising nations reveals that while successful governance strategies differ radically across political systems, they share common patterns in infrastructure sequencing and institutional development that the MGI captures and quantifies. 

Designed for dual utility, the book serves as an analytical framework for researchers and policymakers and as an accessible assessment tool for citizens through the companion website grademygovernment.com. A full reproducibility dataset covering all 170 countries across seven benchmark years is included, making this not just an argument for governance science but its working prototype.
