Reybaud L: Economistes Modernes

Economistes Modernes

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.

For&nbsp;today's&nbsp;aspiring&nbsp;leaders,&nbsp;lessons&nbsp;in&nbsp;leadership&nbsp;from legendary Black CEOs Beginning in&nbsp;the late 1990s, a handful of&nbsp;executives&nbsp;rose to become&nbsp;some of the first Black&nbsp;CEOs&nbsp;ever to lead&nbsp;Fortune&nbsp;500&nbsp;powerhouses:&nbsp;Ken Chenault at American Express,&nbsp;Dick Parsons at Time Warner,&nbsp;John Thompson at Symantec,&nbsp;Ursula Burns at Xerox, and&nbsp;Frank Raines at Fannie Mae. In&nbsp;Trailblazers,&nbsp;organizational advisor and&nbsp;journalist&nbsp;Roger O. Crockett&nbsp;recounts the&nbsp;inspiring stories of these titans&nbsp;and&nbsp;relates&nbsp;their hard-won lessons&nbsp;for&nbsp;achieving&nbsp;greatness&nbsp;amid the stunning lack of racial equity that still plagues us today.&nbsp;These trailblazers&nbsp;share&nbsp;an&nbsp;extra&nbsp;dose of&nbsp;resolve and grit, the key to their&nbsp;success despite the&nbsp;difficulties they tackled as Black leaders-what Crockett calls the "alpha-plus" mentality.&nbsp;Trailblazers&nbsp;also&nbsp;homes in&nbsp;on a specific quality that each&nbsp;wielded&nbsp;on their path to the top-from a&nbsp;belief in the power of&nbsp;authentic identity, to&nbsp;a commitment to compromise, or&nbsp;a performance mindset-and offers readers&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;on how to&nbsp;cultivate these qualities&nbsp;in&nbsp;themselves. The&nbsp;members of this group&nbsp;have enlightening perspectives on what it takes&nbsp;for&nbsp;not just&nbsp;Black leaders&nbsp;but any leaders&nbsp;to&nbsp;make it&nbsp;today.¿Their&nbsp;voices&nbsp;are needed now more than ever.

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

Choose Your Captivity

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet?This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement.Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature.Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.

Hope in a Ruined World

Dark Socialism

For American workers, the social contract is broken. This book gives a firsthand view of where the breaks occurred, and a prescription for rebuilding it to give workers their due. With AI making the decisions and CEOs and moguls making the money, sometimes it seems that most workers today might as well be drones. If not for a long string of missed opportunities over the last 50 years, it might have been different. In Roads Not Taken, Thomas Kochan reviews the turning points where the social contract fractured and broke, reducing workers’ voices as well as their compensation, benefits, and status. And in the lessons learned from these historical examples, he identifies the foundation for building a new labor relations system that ensures workers will share in the benefits from AI and puts America on course for an innovative and durable social contract at work. As a longtime advisor to government, labor, and management leaders, Kochan offers an eyewitness perspective on the mounting mistakes made in America’s labor relations system beginning, roughly, with Ronald Reagan’s firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. His book makes a strong case for new strategies on the part of labor unions and other worker advocacy groups, business, and government—strategies not wedded to the legacy labor law and practice that have failed American workers for so long. Recasting the social contract on this basis, Kochan insists, is key to rebuilding our democracy and its institutions after the damage wrought in recent years.

The contributors to this book utilize the Public Choice approach to interpret, analyze, and at times even predict policy outcomes from a variety of contexts around the world. Applications of Public Choice Theory to Public Policy emphasizes how much can be learned from studying real people in the process of navigating political processes and institutional change. The volume directly addresses what the Public Choice approach is, its relationship to policy analysis, and how both can be improved through the incorporation of a diversity of theoretical and empirical strategies. After establishing these strategies, Applications of Public Choice Theory to Public Policy puts this into practice to address issues such as educational reform in Ghana, policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-trust policy, the political role of the Supreme Court in the U.S. and high courts in Latin America, the impact of taking a precautionary approach to energy policy, regulatory burdens as a form of time tax, and the looming uncertainty over how artificial intelligence will be governed as it continues to have an ever greater impact on our lives.

Exposes the anatomy of organizational harm and how to save institutions from toxic culture While we often read about corporate scandals, we are left wondering: why do organizations keep causing harm?​​​​​​​ Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond the senior executives and/or leaders and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include: <ul><li>Boeing focusing so much on its day-to-day share price that it lost sight of ensuring the long-term safety of its 737 MAX airplanes.</li><li>Volkswagen experimenting with monkeys locked in cages breathing exhaust fumes in a desperate attempt to deny the harm of its “clean diesel” engines.</li><li>How the Oakland Police Department taught its rookies to engage in racist and abusive policing practices, resisting decades-long attempts to reform the department.</li></ul> Revealing, accessible, and engaging, Toxic, breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

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.

The Business of Freedom tells the story of Black enterprise through the lives of the people who built it. Some, like Booker T. Washington and Madam C. J. Walker, are familiar figures in the history of Black business. But many are lesser-known strivers whose ambitions briefly illuminated the possibilities of the age. From the hopeful dawn of emancipation to the bustle of Harlem, award-winning historian Shennette Garrett-Scott follows Black entrepreneurs who carved opportunity out of exclusion to build banks, grocery stores, cotton mills, and real estate empires. Their successes were real, but so were the limits imposed by segregation, unequal access to capital, and the violence that shadowed Black prosperity. The Business of Freedom reveals Black capitalism as a strategy for both individual and collective empowerment-and shows why free enterprise alone could never deliver the freedom its champions promised.

The Golden Age of Black Capitalism

The Business of Freedom

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;
