Corporatism and Neoliberalism in a Global Era

The World Economic Forum and COVID-19

Introduces a data-driven framework for measuring governance through a fourteen-component Macro-Governance Index, demonstrating its strong predictive power for national development outcomes and offering practical tools to diagnose governance gaps and guide policy interventions.
Every year, governments borrow trillions, spend billions on development programs, and publish volumes of economic statistics-yet no widely accepted framework exists for answering a deceptively simple question: is governance actually working? Traditional approaches rely on subjective expert assessments or narrowly focused indices that measure inputs rather than outcomes. Macro-Governance Theory proposes that governance can be measured with the same empirical rigor we bring to medicine, engineering, and economics-and that doing so is essential if citizens and policymakers are to hold institutions accountable for results. 

Drawing on 26 years of publicly available data across 170 countries, the book constructs the Macro-Governance Index (MGI)-a fourteen-component composite spanning infrastructure, connectivity, financial inclusion, human capital, security, institutional quality, and economic integration. The MGI correlates with the UN Human Development Index at r = 0.97, and this relationship is not driven by income alone: controlling for GNI, the framework retains substantial independent predictive power, confirming that governance infrastructure-not just wealth-determines whether nations deliver well-being to their citizens. 

The book reveals patterns that conventional measures miss. Novel metrics for credit access and household-level financial reach show that the effective economic gap between the Global North and Sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 70× rather than the 53× that standard income comparisons suggest-a hidden disparity with profound implications for development policy. A governance simulation framework models how investments in one dimension cascade through others, enabling policymakers to identify the highest-leverage interventions for their country's specific development stage. 

Seven detailed case studies-Singapore, Rwanda, Estonia, Botswana, Chile, Costa Rica, and Lebanon-demonstrate how the framework diagnoses governance strengths and weaknesses in practice. An analysis of the ten fastest-rising nations reveals that while successful governance strategies differ radically across political systems, they share common patterns in infrastructure sequencing and institutional development that the MGI captures and quantifies. 

Designed for dual utility, the book serves as an analytical framework for researchers and policymakers and as an accessible assessment tool for citizens through the companion website grademygovernment.com. A full reproducibility dataset covering all 170 countries across seven benchmark years is included, making this not just an argument for governance science but its working prototype.

A Data-Driven Framework for Measuring and Improving Governance Across Nations

Macro-Governance Theory

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>

Developments in Physical & Theoretical Chemistry

Physical Chemistry at the Intersection of Combustion and Atmospheric Sciences provides the first detailed exploration of overlapping scientific problems in physical chemistry within the domains of combustion and atmospheric chemistry. Specific problems addressed in this book include detailing the current state of knowledge and future research needs on topics, such as the role of organic hydroperoxide reactivity in both atmospheric chemistry and combustion, the importance of peroxy radicals produced in biofuel and hydrocarbon combustion that control chain-branching, and in tropospheric chemistry, affect OH-budgeting and the formation of aerosols that impact air quality. Significant attention is also paid to the influence of functional groups on combustion reaction mechanisms as well as downstream effects on gas-phase chemical reactions in atmosphere. Specifically, problems connecting gas-phase reactions of functionalized organic molecules present in combustion emissions to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation are addressed. In addition, remaining challenges in understanding the subsequent physical and chemical processes involving SOA will be addressed. It is written primarily for research staff scientists, R&amp;D personnel (laboratory and industry), graduate students, and professors in the fields of physical chemistry, atmospheric science, and chemical engineering.

Eine kritische Betrachtung gesamtwirtschaftlicher Beratung

Wahrheit und Irrtum in der Wirtschaftspolitik

Two former Walt Disney Imagineering leaders and designers take on a major gap in team leadership: the lack of a reliable method for collaboration that consistently drives success, innovation, and efficient problem-solving while also minimizing burnout and interpersonal friction. Drawing on their experience at Walt Disney Imagineering and additional work with companies such as Sony, Heineken, and Mattel, Tricia Cerrone and Edward J. van Luinen, Ed.D share a practical approach leaders can apply in any industry, on any team, right away. At Disney, Tricia and Edward were tasked with co-leading a global high-stakes, multi-year initiative across 120+ disciplines; in the process of uniting creative, technical, and operational teams around shared outcomes, they developed and later refined the collaborative leadership skills and repeatable method presented in this book. Their simple, human approach centers on five everyday behaviors-Generosity, Resourcefulness, Co-Creation, Action, and Gratitude-guided by Noble Purpose and an Instant Implementation Roadmap. The result is a clear, step-by-step way to build trust, unlock ideas, move faster, and sustain energy without new software, restructures, or big budgets. And the ripple effects are powerful: greater innovation, faster decisions, healthier culture, organic professional growth, more resilient people, stronger ROI, and higher engagement. Inside you'll get: A repeatable method that fits any leadership style or team structure. Stories and examples from Disney and beyond that show the method in action. Immediate techniques for safer teams, better brainstorms, quicker pilots, and meaningful recognition. A plan to scale collaboration and overcome common barriers like ego, silos, and burnout.

A Roadmap to Stronger Leaders, Happier Teams, and Big Results

Collaborate to Compete

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.
