At the Crossroads of Prosperity

Wealth Extraction and the Future of the American Economy

Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy

Economics is often referred to as "the queen of social sciences." This is because mainstream economics has been established as an elegant academic discipline by assuming mankind simply to be homo economicus- an image of human beings showing interest in only material fulfilment and acting solely in his interest. This book challenges this basic perception of human beings.By replacing it with a more realistic and multifaceted human motive as supported by research in various academic disciplines, the book tries to provide a novel and more plausible picture of human society. Specifically, the book takes in such human aspects as pursuing well-being, forming human networks, and the realisation of potential of ability. Thus, if we try to better understand human motives and the society, it becomes necessary to replace the conventional two-sector (market-government) social model with a more general and theoretically superior social model, the "three-sector model" consisting of market-government-non-profit sectors. This book demonstrates the validity of this new view by utilising basic principles of economic policy and social welfare analyses. Moreover, the book has introduced a newly developing practical philosophy in Japan over the last 50 years to achieve both individual well-being and better human society.

*VANITY FAIR'S BEST BOOKS OF 2025*ONE OF NEW REPUBLIC'S BOOKS OF THE YEAR*KIRKUS' BEST NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2025*ONE OF AV CLUB'S BEST BOOKS OF 2025*"[An] indictment of an industry that has cannily tilted the playing field in its favor. Bad Company details how clichéd abstractions like ‘consolidation’ and ‘efficiency’ have given cover to real betrayals.” - The New York TimesA timely work of singular reportage and a damning indictment of the private equity industry told through the stories of four American workers whose lives and communities were upended by the ruinous effects of private equity takeovers.Private equity runs our country, yet few Americans have any idea how ingrained it is in their lives. Private equity controls our hospitals, daycare centers, supermarket chains, voting machine manufacturers, local newspapers, nursing home operators, fertility clinics, and prisons. The industry even manages highways, municipal water systems, fire departments, emergency medical services, and owns a growing swath of commercial and residential real estate.Private equity executives, meanwhile, are not only among the wealthiest people in American society, but have grown to become modern-day barons with outsized influence on our politics and legislation. CEOs of firms like Blackstone, Carlyle, KKR, and Apollo are rewarded with seats in the Senate and on the boards of the country’s most august institutions; meanwhile, entire communities are hollowed out as a result of their buyouts. Workers lose their jobs. Communities lose their institutions. Only private equity wins.Acclaimed journalist Megan Greenwell’s Bad Company unearths the hidden story of private equity by examining the lives of four American workers that were devastated as private equity upended their employers and communities: a Toys R Us floor supervisor, a rural doctor, a local newspaper journalist, and an affordable housing organizer. Taken together, their individual experiences also pull back the curtain on a much larger project: how private equity reshaped the American economy to serve its own interests, creating a new class of billionaires while stripping ordinary people of their livelihoods, their health care, their homes, and their sense of security.In the tradition of deeply human reportage like Matthew Desmond’s Evicted, Megan Greenwell pulls back the curtain on shadowy multibillion dollar private equity firms, telling a larger story about how private equity is reshaping the economy, disrupting communities, and hollowing out the very idea of the American dream itself. Timely and masterfully told, Bad Company is a forceful rebuke of America’s most consequential, yet least understood economic forces.

Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream

Bad Company

A groundbreaking new framework for business leaders and policymakers In Passionomics, Raja Rajamannar introduces an original intellectual framework that equips CEOs, CMOs, strategists, boards, and policymakers with a new lens for driving growth, innovation, and enduring customer loyalty. Where behavioral economics examines how individuals make decisions, Passionomics reveals how collective passion - the synchronized intensity of millions of people acting in concert - moves markets, reshapes industries, and creates extraordinary value for the organizations and institutions that learn to harness it. Rajamannar makes the case through vivid, real-world phenomena every leader recognizes but few have truly decoded: the economic waves generated by a Taylor Swift tour, the industry-wide momentum of Formula 1, the societal mobilization of the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games. These are not anecdotes. They are windows into a dynamic that, once understood, becomes a deliberate strategic advantage - one that transforms how companies build brands, design products, earn loyalty, and compete, and how policymakers shape economies, cities, and public life. Business leaders and policymakers will discover: <ul> <li>A new strategic framework - Passionomics - that explains how collective intensity operates as a distinct and powerful dynamic separate from individual behavior</li> <li>Why passion is a renewable source of innovation, loyalty, and growth - and why the organizations and institutions that ignore it are leaving extraordinary value on the table</li> <li>How to recognize, cultivate, and harness collective passion inside organizations, brands, entire categories, and public institutions</li> <li>Case studies from sports, entertainment, culture, and commerce that reveal the architecture of passion-driven growth</li> <li>A practical lens for boards, CEOs, CMOs, senior leaders, and policymakers who want to move beyond conventional playbooks and unlock step-change performance</li> </ul> Passionomics is essential reading for business leaders and policymakers who sense that something critical is missing from the standard strategic toolkit - and who want a rigorous, original framework for building companies, brands, institutions, and economies that win in ways others cannot replicate.

The Most Overlooked Phenomenon in Business and How to Harness It

Passionomics

This book discusses the astonishing rise of so-called derivatives, economic instruments related to different types of risks, and the changes this has imposed to the functioning of advanced capitalist economies.The market for derivatives has grown exponentially since the 1980s, dwarfing today's traditional financial markets. The conventional view claims that derivatives perform a crucial function in corporate risk management, providing a hedge against undesirable movements in prices. Yet, most transactions considered to be part of derivatives are inherently speculative and significantly increase the levels of risks and occurrence of crises in an economy: for example, instruments known as CDS (credit default swaps) played an important role in the 2007-2008 subprime debacle. Thus, it is necessary to understand the role of these transactions in present-day advanced capitalist economies. Do they add more instability to the economy, including speculative and non-speculative activities, enhancing macroeconomic crises and contributing to destroying income, production, jobs and wealth? Do they provide effective hedging against measurable risks to the operation of capitalist firms, thus allowing corporations to engage in more transactions and expand capital accumulation domestically and internationally, in an environment characterised by increased volatility and uncertainty caused by derivatives themselves?The book addresses these questions and many others, going beyond an emphasis on operational and technical aspects of contracts, and providing a historical, analytical and critical interpretation of the qualitative and quantitative workings of so-called derivatives markets and their role in the financial dynamics of modern advanced capitalist economies.This book is vital reading for those interested in financial markets, risk management, financial history, speculation and instability, regulation and alternative economic theories.

Derivatives and the Transformation of Capitalism

ADVANCED MACROECONOMICS (2ND ED)

Routledge International Studies in Health Economics

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the healthcare sector is certain to boost levels of automation and productivity but, paradoxically, it will also increase the availability of "first line competence." At the same time as demographic trends are affecting demand for health and social care, the technological developments we are seeing make it highly likely that AI will play a decisive role in tackling the challenges our healthcare systems will encounter. This book reveals systemic connections to tackle questions about the potential impact of AI on future challenges in the healthcare sector.Specifically, it develops practical proposals for ways in which AI can be applied to solve these forthcoming issues. It emphasizes the importance of AI in what is known in the literature as human augmentation. The book's innovative perspective is apparent in the way it challenges conventional wisdom in the context of several pressing questions, such as:¿ What opportunities and challenges could arise from the application of AI in the healthcare sector?¿ How can the philosophy of medicine, viewed from a systemic perspective, help us to understand, explain, and resolve some of the future challenges in the healthcare sector?¿ How could AI affect inclusive employment opportunities for people with disabilities?The book also contains an underlying argument to the effect that the rational approach adopted by economists is perhaps less rational when applied to a healthcare sector that is crying out for more "first line competence."The primary readership will be academic, but the book will also appeal to policymakers, consultants, HR departments, healthcare stakeholders, and related practitioners.

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Healthcare

This book looks at the constitutional and regulatory frameworks of loan and debt recovery laws and legislations. It explores different aspects of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (SARFAESI) Act, 2002, along with the issues and challenges in enforcing the Act in India.The book explores the evolution of debt recovery laws in India by analysing various past cases and legislations relating to the recovery of dues by banks and financial institutions. Taking the rights of both banks and borrowers into consideration, it provides a description of the relevant provisions of the SARFAESI Act and its implications. The author analyses relevant case laws and practical experiences to highlight the positives and the issues of the SARFAESI Act that have strengthened the creditor's rights in India. The book also looks at the consolidation of insolvency and bankruptcy laws in India that have contributed to the process of debt recovery while protecting customers.Lucid and comprehensive, this volume will be an indispensable resource for students and researchers of law, business and company law, monetary economics, macroeconomics, Asian law, and comparative law. It will also be useful for teaching faculty, legal practioners and bankers.

The Oxford Handbook of Industry Dynamics

Human enhancement (HE) is considered one of the most profoundly impactful effects of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This book presents the definition, theory, scope, and main challenges of HE from a health policy and healthcare systems perspective. It offers a comprehensive view of the consequences of human enhancement disrupting the status quo in health service delivery and social coherence.The book examines the latest achievements of HE, focusing on four forms of enhancement: cognitive, physical, mood and moral. These forms are supported by the list of specific technologies and techniques used for HE. The book identifies the current trends in HE's development and analyses the challenges that HE poses to health policy and healthcare systems. It discusses the legal and financial aspects of HE, including regulation and shows that the financing of HE goes far beyond the scope of universal health coverage, thus opening the door for private, voluntary insurance and/or out-of-pocket payments. This, in turn, leads towards growing inequalities, which may threaten social cohesion. Readers will receive a structured picture of the latest advances in HE and trends in the field, as well as a list of the challenges and problems that HE generates.The book offers a concise picture of HE for students and researchers across the political sciences, public health, public sector management, and sociology. It will also find an audience among healthcare managers, policymakers, and those who are interested in social change.

Routledge Studies in Development Economics

Despite the abundant literature about development policies and solutions, many developing countries continue to struggle with basic development issues. The author of this book argues that such a situation is due to the absence of an unlearning process that would aid in adjusting negative mindsets and outdated mental models that hinder economic development.This book addresses development issues from the behavioral perspective, linking negative mindsets and behaviors to growth and development strategies and policies. It identifies six mindsets and actions that impede the economic development of underdeveloped nations. Then, it suggests solutions to upgrade the mindsets according to the plans and policies. Moreover, the book highlights the different concepts and phenomena in a straightforward way with simple figures to facilitate their understanding for people who do not necessarily have a background in business or economics. At the same time, it fully respects scientific standards in addressing the topics and themes under discussion. Each chapter identifies the state of mind needed to 'unlearn' with real examples and experiences and offers suggestions to undertake and accomplish the unlearning process.Based on real and clear-cut examples, the book presents the main beliefs and psychological mechanisms that lead to underperforming behaviors of customers, investors, entrepreneurs and policy makers. Thus, the main audience for the book is scholars, students and researchers in economics and development, as well as policymakers, wishing to attempt new approaches to counteract the boomerang effect.

Principles of Macroeconomics

Routledge Focus on Management and Society

It is now widely recognised that rising inequality of income and wealth on the one hand and a slowdown in the rate of economic growth on the other are two of the most important challenges faced today by the global economy as well as by most of the developing economies. This book starts by explaining how these two issues are interrelated. There is no dearth of books on the role that the economic policies of the government can play in meeting these twin challenges. The role of business managers in the private sector of the economy, however, is a relatively neglected area. This book seeks to close this gap in the literature. The central message of the book is that, contrary to popular belief, it is in the interests of private business itself that business managers take into account the effects that their decisions have on the economy as a whole. It is shown that a failure to do so would hurt their own economic prospects in both the short run and the long. Emphasis is given on the importance of an appropriate orientation of managerial decisions and on the role of investors (i.e. the suppliers of capital) in inducing managers to take socially optimal decisions. The book is addressed as much to business managers and students in management courses as to the general reader. Therefore, no prior knowledge of advanced economic theory is presumed. All arguments are built from first principles.
