A Machine-Generated Literature Review

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This edited volume reinterprets Italy’s economic development through the lens of culture. Building on Nicola Rossi’s earlier monograph, this book argues that Italy’s long-term economic performance is best explained not by institutions or resources alone, but by enduring cultural attitudes; particularly a persistent scepticism toward markets, innovation, and economic modernity.Bringing together contributions from scholars across economics, history, sociology, law, and cultural studies, the volume examines how these attitudes are expressed in domains such as literature, cinema, education, fashion, legal systems, and public discourse. It treats these cultural “conversations” as key evidence of how Italians have understood and debated growth, modernity, and state intervention over time. The book is structured in two parts: the first traces long-term cultural continuities since unification, while the second examines the post-war “economic miracle” as a brief period in which a pro-growth culture temporarily prevailed before receding. Overall, the volume offers an interdisciplinary account of how cultural beliefs have shaped Italy’s economic trajectory and its tensions with modern economic change.&nbsp;Nicola Rossi
 is Chair of the Commission on the Unobserved Economy and Tax and Social Security Evasion at the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance, and former Full Professor of Political Economy at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. His research focuses on economic history, public policy, and the cultural determinants of economic performance. He is the author of 
 Reframing Italian Economic History, 1861–2021
 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024) and has published widely on growth, institutions, and Italian economic development.

Perspectives on Growth and Development

The Role of Culture in Italian Economic History, 1861-2021

Enorme Ungleichheiten, Klimakatastrophe, schleichende Faschisierung, unumschränkte polizeiliche Kontrolle - das Spektakel des Kapitalismus ist eine riesige Obszönität, die den politischen Vorstellungshorizont zunehmend beschränkt. Dass unter solchen Umständen der Gedanke aufkommt, man solle keine Hoffnungen in die vom Kapitalismus kolonisierten Staatsorgane setzen, ist leicht nachvollziehbar. Doch was ist die Alternative? Wie können wir uns eine Welt vorstellen, die nicht mehr von Institutionen, Bürokratie, Polizei, Lohnarbeit und dem Diktat des Geldes beherrscht wird? Wie lässt sich ein Leben denken - und leben - jenseits von Hierarchie und Herrschaft? 

 In seinem leidenschaftlichen Gespräch mit Félix Boggio Éwanjé-Épée begibt sich der französische Soziologe und Ökonom Frédéric Lordon mitten hinein in die von existenziellen Katastrophen geplagte Gegenwart und zeichnet so mitSchärfe, Witz und intellektueller Brillanz, dabei politische Theorie mit der spinozistischen Idee des Anderswerdens verknüpfend, die Konturen eines Denkens, das nicht resigniert, sondern Mut macht - Mut dazu, sich die eigene Vorstellungskraft zurückzuerobern.

India Studies in Business and Economics

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of India's path toward inclusive development, focusing on the socio-economic challenges. It explores the talked about&nbsp;
 Bharatiya 
 model, emphasizing equity, empowerment, and community participation in decision-making.
 
 The book is structured in four comprehensive sections. The introductory section establishes the framework of the 
 Bharatiya
 Model, challenging established economic paradigms and tracing economic concepts from ancient Indian literature. The second section, "Indic Market Economy," explores technological advancement, industrial growth, agricultural transformation, and digital innovation. The "Welfarism" section addresses critical social aspects including healthcare, education, poverty reduction, and women's empowerment. The final section, "Pragmatism," delves into fiscal policies, trade reforms, banking sector evolution, and taxation systems. Each chapter provides authoritative insights into India's development journey. The book presents detailed analysis of various initiatives and reforms, particularly those implemented or accelerated in the past decade, while offering historical context from 2001 onwards for comprehensive understanding. Through a blend of historical context and contemporary analysis, the book aims to illuminate India's approach to fostering growth while striving for social justice and sustainable development.
 The target audience includes three key groups: researchers seeking real-world data and analytical frameworks for studying India's growth trajectory; policymakers requiring evidence-based insights for crafting effective interventions across sectors; and corporate leaders looking to understand the complexities and opportunities within the Indian market. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars examining India’s socio-economic landscape. It offers a wealth of real-world data and insights on critical topics such as green economy initiatives, fiscal policies, and tax reforms, enabling policy makers to ground their work in reliable information.

India's Economic Evolution Towards Inclusive Development

Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance

This book presents the first historical study of how the Bank of England shaped the early development of international banking supervision during a period of profound economic and regulatory change. Drawing on extensive archival research across the Bank of England Archives, The UK National Archives, the Bank for International Settlements, and European and private‑sector collections, the book reconstructs the emergence of global supervisory cooperation from the 1970s through the late 1980s. The volume traces the evolution of prudential policy, the growth of macro‑prudential thinking, and the interplay between national sovereignty and the push for international coordination. It provides detailed examinations of the Bank of England’s supervisory practices, the formulation and revision of the UK Banking Acts of 1979 and 1987, the early Basel Committee negotiations, and the parallel development of European Community banking directives. Further chapters illuminate private-sector perspectives and offer a comparative analysis of supervisory systems in France, Germany, the United States, and Japan.Combining financial history, political economy, and the history of central banking, this study brings clarity to the origins of global banking supervision and demonstrates how British regulatory approaches influenced both European harmonisation and the Basel process. It will serve scholars of banking supervision, financial regulation, international monetary cooperation, and modern economic governance.

Palgrave Studies in Classical Liberalism

“Holm’s goal is to clarify and assess F. A. Hayek’s critique of legislation. The author knows the extant literature intimately and brings an interdisciplinary sensibility to his task. The result is a carefully-argued and original contribution to Hayekian studies. “–Bruce Caldwell
 , Research Professor of Economics, Director, Center for the History of Political Economy, Duke University, USA and the author of 
 Hayek's&nbsp;Challenge 
 and 
 Hayek: A Life"This book is an in-depth treatment of F. A. Hayek's incomparable 20th Century contributions to the study of rules, order, and economy."–Vernon Smith
 , Professor of Economics and Law at Chapman University, USA, and 2002 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics
 This book argues for a comprehensive reframing of Friedrich Hayek, one of the most influential economic and social thinkers of the twentieth century. Its focus is on the role of legal philosophy and legislation in understanding Hayek's views on social and economic planning, and in particular his critique of socialism.The book examines Hayek's later works on the shortcomings of legislation as the primary political tool used by governments to coerce otherwise free economic activity. It argues that Hayek's view of social and especially legal rules equates to a reformulation of his critique of planned economies, which has so far been understood in purely economic terms. The book argues&nbsp;that Hayek should be considered an important scholar in the realm of complexity theory, showing that his writing on intertwined legal and economic systems paved the way for a greater understanding of how individual agents and the 'spontaneous order' of the economy is inevitably regulated by the rational social order brought about by moral and legal rules and institutions. The book itself seeks to break the tradition of studying Hayek's work from isolated legal or economic lenses. Cyril Holm 
 is an Associate Professor of Law at Karlstad University, Sweden. His academic background is in economics, the history of science and legal philosophy, the latter of which is currently his primary research interest. He has teaching and research experience at the interface of law, economics, complexity theory, technology and future studies.&nbsp;

“Seddon and Imsirovic provide a sophisticated and empirically rich account of the actors, institutions, and conflicts that make up the ‘pay-to-play’ governance system of the Brent price benchmark. Their book deserves to be widely read.”

 The price of oil is not discovered—it is made. Benchmarks like Brent crude are produced for profit, from information supplied by the very firms with an interest in shaping them. How can such a price be trusted, and who governs it?
 
 This book argues that benchmark authority rests on a “pay-to-play” bargain: firms bear the costs of price making because access confers influence, information, and trading advantage, while governors such as Platts and ICE set the rules. Those rules must channel traders’ opportunism, not eliminate it—too little latitude and participation withers; too much and the system curdles into manipulation. Comparing Brent with rival benchmarks, enduring and failed, and combining quantitative analysis, archival research, and insider interviews, this book reveals how the price that moves the world economy is actually made.

Der globale Kapitalismus befindet sich in der Dauerkrise. Globale Finanzkrise, Eurokrise, 'Flüchtlingskrise', Corona­krise, Krise im Ergebnis der neuen Kriege von der Ukraine bis Nahost: Kaum scheint ein Krisenherd unter Kontrolle, schlägt die Dauerkrise aus einer unerwarteten Richtung zurück. Durch die Krisen verändert sich jedoch, wie schon immer in der Geschichte, auch der Kapitalismus selbst: Neoliberale Weltordnung und unangefochtene US-Hegemonie waren einmal. In den Konflikten um Aufstieg und Abstieg von Großmächten wird der Kapitalismus postliberal: Ent­demokratisierung, Autoritarismus, (Wirtschafts-)Nationalismus, Militarismus, Imperialismus und (Wirtschafts-)Krieg sind die neue Normalität. Am Horizont zeichnen sich die Konturen eines neuen Kalten Kriegs mit Aussicht auf heiße Stellvertreterkriege und Eskalation ab. Aber können die großen Menschheitsfragen wie Frieden, Sicherheit, soziale Ungleichheit, sozialer Zusammenhalt, Demokratie, Nachhaltigkeit, Klimaschutz und Artensterben warten? Ingar Solty zeigt Ursachen und Hintergründe der Krise auf - und Alternativen für eine bessere Zukunft für alle.
