Economics - Compact Basic Knowledge for Beginners: How to Easily Understand the Fundamentals of Economics and Gain Insight into the Economy, Financial Markets, and Social Models

Routledge International Studies in Money and Banking

Advanced and emerging economies within Asia Pacific are exploring Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) as the next step towards digital public money to ensure monetary systems are appropriate, adaptive, and future-proof. Each jurisdiction will encounter its own subtly unique challenges in implementation. Focused on the Asia Pacific region, this book examines the motivations behind CBDC adoption, the design and technological requirements, and the policy challenges faced by central banks.Using nations within Asia Pacific as case studies, it asks whether the potential design of CBDC will be influenced by the jurisdiction's regulation of legal tender and the central bank's motivations for exploring CBDC, considering the required technological capabilities. In addition to legislative and practical considerations domestically, each nation within the region must consider how its CBDC will be received within a region where perspectives and approaches on CBDC differ substantially. Despite little detail being confirmed regarding the eventual composition of some jurisdictions' CBDC, the book provides policymakers with reflections regarding the formulation of CBDC and its potential structure. Through a considered analysis of legal tender regulation, central bank motivations, and the technological capabilities of CBDCs, the book provides readers with insights into navigating implementation challenges and pursuing broad public adoption.Whether you are a researcher, academic, policymaker, economist, or simply interested in the future of money, this work presents an unbiased, structured approach to understanding how CBDCs could reshape our economic landscape and offers a critical perspective on what this technological evolution means for financial systems around the world.

In the years following the Second World War, the main economic goal of countries, and the main standard by which economies were judged, was the performance of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which was defined and measured, following rules created by statisticians and economists who had developed the official national accounts statistics, mostly in the 1930s. The pursuit of the growth of GDP has remained an overwhelming objective for most economists, politicians and international organizations. This book examines several concepts and processes related to economic growth, such as environmental degradation and climate change; income distribution and poverty; a vibrant civil society; and personal happiness and tackles the important question of whether growth itself can create problems that reduce its welfare value to populations.It weaves together two stories, the first concerns the invention of a statistical index, while the second explores the set of phenomena to which it applies. The author argues that reducing our dedication to economic growth should not be interpreted as stunting the growth of countries' GDPs at their current level, but rather as focusing on paying more attention to the factors that may reduce the social benefits of this growth.The book addresses an important topic that has recently been an object of study in multiple fields, such as economics, history and ecology. It combines historical, analytical, and policy-oriented approaches into a single study and will attract the attention of scholars, researchers, economists, political scientists, and philosophers, at a time when many traditional policies are being questioned and are under discussion.

Renowned economist Josh Ryan-Collins provides the ideal pedagogical resource for anyone concerned with the major role central banks play in shaping all of our economic opportunities and daily lives. This book provides a concise, authoritative overview of the history and stated purpose of central banks. With critiques of principles and actions that have emerged since the 2008 crash, Ryan-Collins's own and others' proposals offer a solution of how to reform them. In a clear, easy-to-follow structure, it offers historical-normative descriptions of the evolution and role of central banks alongside "myth-busting" chapters explaining the salient critiques of, and proposed alternatives to, principles at the heart of central-bank thinking. Along the way, it covers the major issues preoccupying critical central banking studies and political economics today, including housing inequalities, climate change, digital currencies, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence.

This book is driven by the urgency of addressing the triple energy challenge- energy sustainability, security, and affordability. It explores a timely and policy-relevant research question, examining how effective green fiscal policies are in fostering the adoption of energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable technologies. It assesses whether such instruments are more effective when implemented in isolation or as part of a coordinated policy-mix, and investigates the right design, dosage and sequencing of their deployment. The analysis centers on three principal fiscal instruments-environmental taxes, green investment subsidies, and green investment tax credits-and distinguishes between different types of green technologies, namely superior cleaner production technologies and inferior end-of-pipe solutions.The book provides a comprehensive and empirically rigorous evaluation of green fiscal policies and their role in the green transition, framing them as a crucial corrective mechanism capable of bridging the gap between private and social returns to green innovation. It offers a comprehensive review of modern econometric methodologies employed in this growing field-including fixed effects models, categorical treatment matching, difference-in-differences, complementarity and sequential analyses -and contributes an original empirical study on the impact of fiscal rule changes on technology adoption outcomes. Lastly, it offers policy recommendations for the implementation of green fiscal policies.This volume serves as a valuable resource for a broad readership, including graduate students, academic researchers, international organizations, and policy professionals-particularly those concerned with finance and the environment.

Green Fiscal Policy and Firm Behaviour

Strategic lessons for monetary policy from the last two tumultuous decades based on insights from Sun Tzu, the Chinese philosopher and author of The Art of War. When central banks were forced to innovate and develop a multifaceted set of new weapons in response to the 2008 global financial crisis and 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the result was a substantial expansion in their authority and reach. In The Art of Monetary Policy, Kristin Forbes draws lessons for monetary policy of the last two decades from the principles of Sun Tzu, the author of The Art of War, a Chinese philosopher and military strategist from the fifth century BC. Tzu proposed several key principles for success—tenets that apply to monetary policy and the battlefield today: (1) plan in advance for the next battle; (2) accept and adapt to the inevitability of powerful, external shocks outside your control; (3) establish a strong tactical position; (4) develop a variety of weapons that can be combined for different maneuvers and situations; (5) maintain flexibility so that you can quickly modify your strategy; and (6) consider the longer-term costs when evaluating the trade-offs of different approaches. These principles provide insights into what central banks did (and did not) do well over the last two decades, as well as how they should deploy interest rates, balance sheets, emergency support programs, forward guidance, and macroprudential tools in the future. While the optimal strategy in both war and monetary policy is more of an “art” than a science, adopting these principles can improve our ability to battle the next crisis and build more resilient economies during peaceful periods.

Lessons from Sun Tzu for Central Banks

The Art of Monetary Policy

Financial crises are recurring events that expose weaknesses in risk management, regulation, and supervision. The 2008 financial crisis demonstrated the systemic nature of banking crises and the high cost of taxpayer-funded bailouts, leading policymakers to reform crisis-management frameworks. In the European Union (EU), these reforms included the Banking Union and the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD), which aimed to reduce reliance on public funds and address the "Too Big to Fail" (TBTF) problem. However, the framework has proven less effective for small and medium-sized banks, and recent stress episodes have revealed some inefficiencies, prompting further reforms through the Crisis Management and Deposit Insurance (CMDI) directive.This book examines lessons from past bank failures and evaluates the effectiveness of the EU's post-2008 resolution regime. It combines conceptual analyses with empirical case studies from Europe and the United States, exploring systemic risk, the TBTF dilemma, and the practical challenges of resolution. The cases highlight successes, controversies, and persistent weaknesses, such as liquidity provision, deposit-insurance fragmentation, and the treatment of smaller banks. Overall, the volume argues that although significant progress has been made, bank resolution remains a complex political and institutional challenge, and further reforms are needed to ensure a credible and effective framework for both large and smaller banks.The book is aimed at scholars, researchers and advanced students in the banking, finance and regulatory economics community, as well as regulators, policy makers and professionals working in central banks, supervision authorities, resolution agencies and deposit guarantee schemes.

This book examines the interplay of professional norms and political accountability in the process of making decisions about whether, how, and how much debt state and local governments should incur. The careful analysis of accountability in actual decisions, focusing particularly on whether and how individual and collective decision-making behavior responds to general (stipulated) norms and situational (negotiated) expectations in their broader social contexts, is a familiar approach in the study of management and public organizations generally, but has not been extensively applied to this area of public financial decision making. Political economists, especially those identified with the public-choice approach, have done extensive macro-level normative and theoretical analysis of public debt, but not in an empirically rich fashion. This book therefore constitutes a missing link that uses analyses of selected cases to advance conceptual understandings of organizational accountability spaces in general, and decisions to incur public indebtedness and the implications of those decisions specifically, by examining the intersection of the macro, meso, and micro levels of expectations for and practices of public financial decision making.

With the current architecture of global monetary institutions and governance reaching a crisis point, this book engages with the scholarly and policy debates that have emerged around alternative devices and structures for the management of the international economy.The key question underpinning this edited volume is whether adjustments to the current global economic governance are enough or whether major reform is necessary, and in which direction, to avoid a crash of the system itself. Each contributor explores a specific area for possible adjustment or reform addressing key questions, including: What is the future of the international economic and monetary system? What reforms are to be prioritized to steer the global economy through the challenges of the next decades? What are the necessary steps to be taken during the transition? How can theoretical and policy issues concerning the foundation of a more efficient, multi- layered system of governance be resolved?The book will be of great interest to readers in international monetary systems, economic governance, and international finance and banking more broadly.

Kevin Dowd's Totalitarian Money? provides a comprehensive critique of proposals to establish CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) around the world. He argues that they are economically inefficient, as they provide no benefits that cannot be obtained by other means. He explains why CBDCs are dangerous to financial stability and personal freedom as they enable digital currency to be weaponised against people to comply with the political or social agendas of those in control. Dowd reveals that, despite being promoted by central banks as the next 'big thing', public demand for CBDCs is negligible and they have been rejected by the public wherever they have been introduced. Evaluating the track record of countries that have introduced CBDCs, Dowd explores the drawbacks of CBDCs and explains why the private sector is better equipped to provide a retail digital currency to the general public.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.
