Devil Take the Hindmost

A History of Financial Speculation

In this innovative reinterpretation of African and European economic history, Warren Whatley contrasts how Western European freedom from slavery unleashed freedom dividends across Western Europe whilst African-American slave trades instead produced slavery and underdevelopment in Africa.

Studies in Economic History

This book reveals how the formation of the Chinese socialist system in the 1950s dramatically transformed the nation’s economy, and charts how the newly established economic system functioned during the planned economy period (1949-1978), through focusing on Shanghai, which had served as the center of China’s modern economy since the latter half of the nineteenth century. Drawing on the rich historical primary sources of the Shanghai Municipal Archives, this study examines the impact of the institutional change wrought by the introduction of the socialist system on Shanghai’s economy, through a careful comparison with the economic structure before 1949. Moreover, it also explores the distinctive features of the Chinese socialist system, first and foremost the relationship between local governments and local businesses that came about through the socialist transformation of private enterprise, by analyzing Shanghai’s fiscal structure and a series of key industries, including the textile, machinery, rubber processing, cement, and power industries. This historical study proffers a new understanding of the long-term economic history of modern China across the pivotal 1949 and 1978 divides and sheds light on the origin of what has come to be known as "socialism with Chinese characteristics" today.

The Impact of the Planned Economy and the Socialist Transformation

Shanghai under the Socialist System

North Korea is perhaps the most intriguing, infamous and enigmatic nation of our modern world. Yet how many of us know its full history, and how it came to be? How can we understand such a strange, isolated state? This new edition seeks to provide some answers to these questions. Starting with its origins in the colonial period, Michael J Seth masterfully traces how North Korea transformed itself from a Soviet-style socialist state to the ultra-nationalist, dynastic dictatorship of the 21st century. Born from 20th century Korea's struggles to regain autonomy and achieve modernization, this book follows the story of how a single Korea with a shared ethnic and cultural heritage, evolved into radically different societies. From the birth of the DPRK, through economic collapse, famine and failed revolution, it illuminates North Korea's journey with an engaging understanding of the political, ideological, economic and social forces at play. This edition has been updated to examine recent developments in Korean history, up until 2025, and has analysed over sixty new publications from leading academics. It also incorporates the experiences of prominent North Korean women and analyses the everyday life of ordinary North Koreans, as well as the country's leaders. Seth also uses his expertise to analyse and put more emphasis on Inter-Korean relations Following the evolution of this uncommon nation, North Korea: A History uses the past to answer questions about the present, and above all shows North Korea as a society with a hard-working, long-suffering population who have made great sacrifices in the hopes for a better future. North Korea: A History is also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.

Elements in Econophysics

Classical mechanics provided the conceptual and methodological foundations of neoclassical economics, which has its roots in economic individualism. Since the early twentieth century, statistical mechanics has underpinned a lesser-known approach to economics and finance, one that focuses on aggregates and the interactions between individuals. This has led to the emergence of a new field of research, known as econophysics, which brings to the fore concepts such as emergent properties, power laws, networks, entropy, and multifractality, thereby reshaping economic enquiry.

A Classical Political Economy Approach

Economic Growth and Long Cycles

Despite the 'return of financial crises' since the end of the Bretton Woods era, a new generation of bankers hardly had any experience or any memory of a previous systemic financial crisis. The events of summer 2007 prompted investors, CEOs, and regulators to investigate the past to understand the present and foresee the future. The 2008 financial crisis strengthened the need to place financial crises in long-term historical perspectives, establish parallels, and make comparisons. Such comparisons, however, have remained sparse and generally reduced past financial crises to stylized facts in a quest for lessons that could be drawn rather than analysed their specifics. This book is a contribution of history to the study of financial crises, with a focus on whether and how the memory of previous crises has persisted, faded, or changed over time. Intertwining memory and narrative representations of the reality, it investigates the reasons why some crises have been selectively remembered and others apparently forgotten. It does so with a focus on the new era of financial instability that followed the end of the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates in 1973 - a period marked by a series of financial crises (1974, 1982, 1987, 1997, among others); economic, political, and cultural changes (globalization, deregulation, formalized mathematical economics), and culminating in the global financial crisis of 2008.

“A well-written interesting read, this book analyzes the actions of central banks amid the subprime crisis. It is a must read for those interested in economic policy, economic and financial history, and central banks.”–
 Sonali Garg
 , Assistant Professor, New Delhi Institute of Management and author of 
 The Telegraph and Stock ExchangesThis book explores the evolving role of the credit channel in contemporary macroeconomic policy and financial stability. In ten analytical chapters, Cristina Pecuiti examines the dual function of the credit channel—as both a conduit for monetary policy transmission and a macroeconomic stabilizer—within the broader context of capitalist economies.Grounded in both theoretical inquiry and empirical investigation, the volume first establishes the conceptual foundations of the credit channel, drawing on influential contributions from leading economists. Pecuiti systematically demonstrates the channel’s critical role in amplifying or mitigating the effects of monetary interventions, thereby shaping macroeconomic outcomes.A central focus of the book is the empirical analysis of the credit channel’s performance during the European subprime crisis. Pairing case studies with policy evaluations, Pecuiti assesses the measures adopted by EU Member States to preserve credit flows and support economic recovery. This analysis not only underscores the operational significance of the credit channel during periods of financial distress but also highlights its potential as a strategic policy instrument.The concluding chapters advocate for a structural rethinking of capitalism’s financial architecture, emphasizing the need for central banks to integrate the credit channel more explicitly into their policy frameworks. By doing so, the book argues that monetary authorities can foster conditions conducive to sustainable growth, price stability, and crisis prevention.The resulting book contextualizes modern economic governance and highlights the transformative potential of credit channels.&nbsp;Cristina Peicuti

An Examination of Monetary Policy

The Credit Channel and the Subprime Mortgage Crisis

Frontiers in Economic History

This volume examines the state of the economic history discipline around the globe. It raises and answers questions such as: What are its roots, how did it evolve, and what is the current state of the discipline in each country or region presented?

Transcending traditional Western paradigms, the book gathers renowned economic historians from around the globe to engage in a comprehensive dialogue about economic history's global standing. Investigating its role in shaping future economists, addressing pivotal questions, and its symbiotic relationship with economics, contributors analyze economic history's resonance across continents. By doing so, the chapters are not intended to be a survey of the research on each country, but rather an overview of the discipline: its practice, training, and position within the broader economics discipline.

Addressing an academic audience, this book further analyzes the interplay of human capital scarcity and its profound impact on academia, spotlighting the evolution of economic history in diverse cultural and regional contexts. Scrutinizing historical milestones, such as Schumpeter's paradigm-shifting pillars and Romer's reflections, the book discusses the need to redefine economic history's role and takes readers on a journey through economic history from its pivotal role to its integration into the broader discipline.

A Global Perspective

The State of Economic History

Public financial management (PFM) has gone through a period of intense change since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008-2009 and its aftermath. These developments include the financial response to surging global debt, climate and gender considerations, fiscal transparency, fiscal risks, public investment, and digitalization and AI. At the same time, many of the basics of fiscal policy, financial management, budgeting, accounting, and cash and debt management remain in place. This anthology of collected work, first published through the PFM blog hosted by the IMF, describes these key developments from 2008 to 2025 and organizes them by topic. The book tells the story of these changes and their impact, and will be of interest to policymakers, public finance practitioners, scholars, advisors, and financial historians.Richard Allen

Public Financial Management since the Global Financial Crisis

Our economic system has changed, and younger generations are being locked out of the opportunities our parents once had. Generation Fcked* exposes how the system broke, why the old rules no longer work, and what Millennials and Gen Z can do to reclaim their financial futures. Cancel your subscriptions. Make coffee at home. Go to college. Don’t rent. Buy a house to build equity. That advice was built for a different economy. Today, those choices come with far less certainty. With rising inflation, unaffordable housing, stagnant wages, and crushing student debt, the traditional ‘rules of success’ for many working- and middle-class young adults no longer lead to the outcomes once promised. This leaves younger generations searching for strategies that actually work in today’s world. Drawing on Freddie Smith’s personal journey and data-driven insights, Generation Fcked* explores the uncomfortable reality of how the American Dream—homeownership, family, and a secure retirement—has become increasingly difficult for people under forty-five. With a frank, solutions-oriented approach, this modern guide to our financially f*cked reality will help you: <ul> <li>Understand how the economy became so unequal and which institutions profit as the cost of living rises</li> <li>Talk about the generational wealth divide with older generations in ways that encourage empathy, understanding, and productive conversation</li> <li>Decide whether renting or homeownership makes sense for your life, and take meaningful steps toward clearing debt, investing, and saving</li> <li>Build a retirement plan without relying on Social Security or sacrificing your work–life balance</li> <li>Stay informed, advocate for change, and redefine success on realistic, modern terms</li> </ul> The current system isn’t sustainable. By pairing big-picture clarity with actionable, ground-level guidance, Generation Fcked* offers a path toward a more stable, fair, and achievable future, serving as a guide for generations navigating a radically different economy.
