Autowala P: Energy Policy, Consumer
Behavior, and Solar Photovoltaic System

Energy Policy, Consumer Behavior, and Solar Photovoltaic Systems in the United States

Two of the world's leading researchers on behavior and decision-making join forces to equip readers with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to live our best, most human lives in an age of machines. “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous.” —E.O WilsonOur choices and experience of the world are increasingly shaped by powerful interests and godlike technology. Somebody else is deciding what ‘good’ choices look like—and often that means good for them, not for you. From the social media apps hijacking your attention and algorithms quietly curating your reality, to the markets profiting from confusion and AI systems slowly eroding your thinking: your choices are shaped by people who understand your psychology better than you do, and use that knowledge for their own ends. Against this backdrop, it is easy to feel diminished and 'done to'.This book is about fighting back—individually and collectively—and becoming the best of ourselves. Becoming super-humans. Drawing on over 1,000 experiments run across more than 70 countries, Halpern and Costa show how you can boost your own agency and decision-making, how we can upgrade our systems and institutions so that it is easier for everyone to choose well, and how we can shape AI so that it amplifies human capability rather than replacing it.Super-Human ultimately asks us to make the biggest choice of all: in an age when machines can think, decide and even feel on our behalf—what kind of humans do we want to be? <ul><li>Human. Reclaiming agency and becoming a better decision-maker (Chapters 1-3). Understanding how human attention and sense-making works, so that we can self-guide, rather than be hacked by others - and more effectively turn our intentions into action.</li><li>Supra-human. Building systems that support us to choose well together. (Chapters 4-7). Humans are social creatures, who think aloud and together. It's a feature not a fault. Social networks, markets and institutions strongly enable us to achieve things we could never do alone, but also operate as ‘supra-human’ influences on our behavior. Yet individually and collectively we have power to channel and shape them too - more power than we realize</li><li>Super-human. Shaping the technology that will shape us. (Chapter 8) AI could be the ultimate ‘bicycle of the mind’, but it can also become a crutch rather than a coach. It poses opportunity and challenge - to boost our capabilities to superhuman levels, or to become our inadvertent master.</li><li>Future-human. What kind of humans do we ultimately want to be? (Conclusion) Our minds today have been shaped by the technologies and institutions of our ancestors, in ways they could not have anticipated. We can make choices that will alter our minds and those that follow: what shall we choose?</li></ul>

The global healthcare landscape is profoundly transformed, driven by technological advancements, demographic shifts, evolving patient expectations, and new economic paradigms.The New Health Economy explores how emerging innovations-such as artificial intelligence (AI), personalized medicine, digital health solutions, and value-based care-reshape healthcare delivery, costs, and accessibility. This book will provide a roadmap for leaders to navigate the future of healthcare while addressing challenges related to ethics, equity, regulation, and sustainability. Drawing upon cutting-edge research, expert insights, and real-world case studies, The New Health Economy presents a compelling vision of healthcare's future and the economic forces driving it. The book blends economic theory with practical solutions, demonstrating how key players-from government agencies and hospitals to startups and Big Tech-are redefining healthcare systems globally. The healthcare industry is at an inflexion point. Traditional models are struggling with rising costs, ageing populations, and the burden of chronic diseases. Meanwhile, innovations in digital health, data analytics, and biotechnology offer unprecedented opportunities to enhance patient outcomes and economic efficiency.This is a timely, research-backed book that provides a comprehensive, forward-thinking guide for navigating the rapid transformations in healthcare. By blending economic analysis with healthcare innovation, it offers readers an invaluable resource for understanding not just where healthcare is going, but how to shape its future.

The New Health Economy

Economics is vital, but its labyrinth of equations can make it feel disconnected from the real world. Enter a powerful tool: the metaphor.From longtime economics journalist Peter Coy comes an approachable and fun guide to the metaphors that unlock its power. With nearly 500 alphabetized entries, complemented by playful illustrations, Economics Without Numbers demystifies concepts, exploring their origins, the truths they express, and where they fall short. The result is a delightful and original primer on economic ideas and history that's perfect for students and anyone who wants to understand what makes the world go 'round.Coy has spent decades collecting these vivid metaphors. From "trickle-down economics" (the idea that making the rich richer will help the poor) to "inductivist turkey" (a parable about the perils of assuming that a trend will persist without knowing its cause), Coy brings economics to life.

Economics without Numbers

Palgrave Studies of Marketing in Emerging Economies

This book explores the issue of sustainable consumption in the African context, filling a significant gap in literature. Relating specifically to SDG 12, ‘Responsible consumption and production,’ this two-volume edited collection argues that the core drivers of sustainable consumption in the African context are considerably different than in other regions. For example, studies show that developed countries tend to have a greater interest in sustainability compared to developing countries, and that Africa lags behind in adopting sustainable consumption practices. &nbsp;
 Offering a deeper understanding of this issue, authors explore how and why consumers make decisions, and what influences them towards sustainable behaviour, identifying the key drivers and challenges to sustainable behaviours. Volume I focuses on understanding the core issues and covers topics such as understanding consumer responses to green marketing strategies, the role of trust in sustainable consumption choices, and sustainable fashion, to name a few. Volume II focuses on the innovative ways that organizations in Africa drive forward the targets of SDG 12, and explores the use of technology and AI, social media, in contexts &nbsp;such as the tourism and retail industries.

Foreign Direct Investment has been a major topic of discussion among economically disadvantaged nations. This book examines FDI regulation in weak economies to assess whether it is balanced. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between FDI regulation and sustainable development, with a particular focus on the relevant laws, practices, systems, and organisations governing entry regulations and incentives for foreign investment, as well as the protection of the environment and human rights, with special attention to labour rights, involuntary displacement, and the protection of both investors and the state in which they invest.

A ground-breaking framework that redefines price formation as the structural foundation of sustainability, The Price of Sustainability argues that 'true pricing' can restore long-term and inclusive economic viability. Through grounding in rigorous fieldwork, financial analysis, and the economic insights of Rudolf Steiner, this book exposes the reality behind today's pricing; that they are systematically falsified and don't reflect the reality of sustaining labour, nature and capital. To counter this, Andrillon introduces the concept of true pricing as a diagnostic framework, discerning when a price reflects viability, and when it conceals impending collapse. In the opening chapters, the author guides you through both the contemporary failure of sustainable development and the shortcomings of economic approaches to this issue. Transitioning from diagnosis to construction, Chapter 4 formalizes the concept of a "true price"; it argues that a price is only true if it enables the full reproduction of labour, nature, and capital across time. The following chapters present the operational core of this framework, illustrating how it can be used across sectors as a practical evaluative method. Bridging political economy, sustainability science, and economic theory while offering a highly original contribution to debates on degrowth, post-capitalism, and ecological transition, this innovative text is the perfect companion for undergraduate students, postgraduate students, scholars and policy-makers working at the intersection of sustainability, political economy, ecological economics, development studies, and accounting.
