A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

'A mash-up of Center Stage meets Magic Mike (with a hearty dose of Dirty Dancing) . . . this might be my new favorite!' Alison Cochrun Allegra Hart has been working her whole life to achieve one goal: become a principal ballerina, and with auditions for her company's next production coming up, she knows it's finally her chance. The catch? The director isn't convinced she has the "sex appeal" for the job. Determined to prove him wrong, Allegra enlists the help of the lead dancer of an all-male exotic dance troupe, a classically trained dancer who is also the sexiest man she's ever met. Cord Donovan swore he'd never get himself involved with the ballet world again, but there's something special about Allegra, and he soon finds himself agreeing to teach her how to ramp up her sex appeal, but only if she helps him choreograph a new partner piece for his show in return. As they practice their moves on and off the stage, the pair find themselves battling a growing attraction. And with the role of her dreams on the line, Allegra is determined not to let a man derail her career, but what if Cord is actually the perfect partner she's been looking for?

The Biohistory of Feminism&nbsp;is a multilayered project that incorporates evolutionary biology to argue that behaviors labelled feminist by human cultures are already found in nature, and that there is no one path to being female.&nbsp;On a planet where asexual reproduction dominates, intersex and parthenogenesis exist and eusocial females contribute to their colonies without reproducing, being female goes beyond motherhood stereotypes dear to those who attempt to perpetuate a universal idea&nbsp;of male dominance in human history. Feminism exists naturally as a series of efforts to express oneself in a multiplicity of ways freely chosen-including the attainment of alpha status as a social animal, managing resources and forming alliances. Elephant matriarchs and alpha female bonobos&nbsp;were&nbsp;there among social animals before the appearance of human monarchs like Wu Zetian and contemporary politicians like Angela Merkel and cultural leaders like Wangari Maathai. Female dolphins and chimpanzees taught cultural traditions before the intellectual achievements of literary figures like Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and scientists like Jane Goodall. The diversity of female expression in nature&nbsp;is natural.&nbsp;

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg waren die im Land verbliebenen Ungarndeutschen zahlreichen Repressionen unterworfen. Ab 1950 konsolidierte sich deren Lage allmählich. Ágnes Tóth analysiert anhand zahlreicher Archivbestände die von vielen Widersprüchen gekennzeichnete Politik der ungarischen Staats- und Parteiführung gegenüber den Ungarndeutschen sowie die Bemühungen der deutschen Minderheit, als Teil der ungarischen Gesellschaft anerkannt zu werden. Dabei mussten sich die Ungarndeutschen nicht nur gegen die Assimilierungspolitik der Staatsmacht behaupten, sondern auch an unterschiedlichste Ausprägungen der kommunistischen Diktatur anpassen. Diese Monografie bietet einen detaillierten Überblick über alle zentralen Aspekte der Lage der deutschen Minderheit in Ungarn, z. B. der Verbandsstrukturen oder des Bildungs- und Pressewesens, wodurch die Autorin die erste Gesamtdarstellung zur Geschichte der Ungarndeutschen während der ersten Hälfte der kommunistischen Herrschaft vorlegt.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Daily Habits for Leading from Any Level

90 Days to Grow Your Influence

From the popular and award-winning staff writer for The Atlantic, an eye-opening look at how the current media landscape has incentivized us to see our fellow citizens as characters in an ongoing entertainment—and how we can fight back against this phenomenon.Whether it’s our reality-television-star President or our expertly curated Instagram feeds, the line between fact and fiction—between what’s real and what’s fabricated for entertainment—has never been more blurred. Screen People explores what happens when we cede our reality to spectacle. Megan Garber explains how today’s internet-inflected culture conditions us to see one another not as people but as characters in an ongoing show, and how some of our most chronic and harmful social conditions—loneliness, depression, mistrust, misinformation, cynicism—stem from our demand for diversion.In ten chapters, each themed around an element of entertainment—from “The Producers,” who edit our reality, to “The Extras,” the strangers we turn into objects of our amusement, to “the Haters,” the worshipful Qanon-types who expect the prophecies of their anonymous leader to play out on live television—Garber argues that this comedy of our daily lives is quickly becoming tragedy. And we can’t understand our politics without first understanding our culture.Like The Anxious Generation but about our media diet, Screen People shows why Megan Garber is one of the most respected and widely-read journalists of our day. It is an urgent, page-turning, and dazzling look at how we entertained ourselves into our current predicament, and how we might find our way out of the maze of misinformation and chaos.
