Can Democracy and Capitalism Be
Reconciled?

Can Democracy and Capitalism Be Reconciled?

Property Rights and Conflict Over Land in China

Illiberal Law and Development

The acclaimed author of How Asia Works brings his "pithy, well-written and intellectually vigorous" (Financial Times) reporting to Africa, revealing essential, promising lessons about the engines of economic growth across the continent In the 1980s, countries across Asia stunned the world with meteoric economic growth--but when eyes turn to Africa today, it is often to lament corruption, violence and poverty rather than to scout the next developmental frontrunners. Yet some African nations, even in the face of challenging geography and the crippling legacies of colonialism, have found remarkable success. In How Africa Works, Joe Studwell draws on extensive research and travel across the continent to explore what's worked and what hasn't, and shows how the rapidly rising population--seen as alarming by so many--will be foundational to Africa's flourishing. Highlighting the insights and achievements of African leaders rather than the international community that presumes to know better, Studwell shows that there is a clear developmental path many successful nations have followed. He puts the spotlight on four countries that have seen exceptional economic growth--Botswana, Mauritius, Ethiopia and Rwanda--and that demonstrate the promise as well as the particular challenge of the African context. Prosperity is well within reach, thanks to huge leaps forward in education and favorable demographics, but embracing winning polices and sidestepping misguided foreign interests will be key. Studwell's book is essential, optimistic reading for anyone looking to understand the next chapter of global development.

Working Nature offers a history of the energy economy and its representations over the 19th and 20th century. Russ argues that "Energy" is not a thing nor an ability, but a social relation to nature forged in capitalist industrialisation. The concept of energy mediates the appropriation of diverse natural forces - water, steam, coal, electricity – altering the way these forces would naturally behave to perform work in production. From the valuation of coal and crafting of the current to the formalization of the substitution of energy commodities, it asks how engineers, scientists and economists achieved the production and circulation of nature’s work against social and natural resistance. In so doing, they undermined the very purpose of the energy economy - to emancipate humanity from nature. Can there be a human reconciliation with nature’s resistance for our time?

Economics is sold as pure and apolitical: scientific, neutral, exact. This urgent book exposes its true role: to convince us there's no alternative to capitalism. We live in a world dominated by the dogma that austerity is necessary, unemployment natural, endless wars inevitable and central banks all-powerful. It doesn't have to be this way.In her bold, groundbreaking manifesto, economist Clara E. Mattei tears the mask off our economic system. She unpacks key concepts like growth, inflation, unemployment and balanced budgets to show how they're weaponized to enforce market dependence, not freedom, stripping us of the power to shape the democratic decisions that govern our daily lives. Enduring problems such as poverty and inequality are not accidents or bugs in the economy, but core features - justified with pseudoscientific models to support a system that unfairly rewards people with the most resources.Why should we accept this? Capitalism, Mattei argues, isn't inevitable, scientific, or natural - it's a relatively young system that can be replaced. Inspired by a lineage of political resistance, Escape From Capitalism calls for us to challenge the broken economics of our times, and pave the way towards liberation.
