Clark J: Essentials of Economic Theory

Essentials of Economic Theory

This book proposes a radical rethink of how we fund our economy. Rather than disentangling public and corporate finance, this book shows how the two are forced to feed a never-ending force: growth. By re-visiting how money is created in our economy, the book proposes a new way of funding the economy using interest-free money creation.
Economic evaluation techniques like Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) reinforce the idea that to receive funding, a project need to generate economic growth. However, this book argues that the priority of the economics discipline should be to illuminate resource allocation and scarcity and propose ways to make the economy self-sustainable, helping to avoid inflation and poverty. To do this, the book highlights that not all public needs—such as social housing or other non-profit services—require economic growth. It argues that by decoupling public funding from taxation and interest-based borrowing, governments could more effectively fund essential public services that do not need to be profitable, thereby freeing the public sector from the growth imperative imposed by the current financial system. With practical applications for sectors including healthcare, environmental policy and sustainability, the book’s interdisciplinary approach – incorporating insights from economics, finance, public policy, anthropology and more – will be a valuable tool for scholars and practitioners in diverse fields.
Simon Combes is a Lecturer in Economics at University College London. His research interests cover health, migration, economic evaluation techniques, macroeconomics and general economics.

This book presents a comprehensive and innovative analysis of decarbonisation and the reshaping of risk in contemporary financial and institutional systems. It develops a multidimensional approach that integrates finance, behavioural dynamics and governance within ongoing technological and climate transformations. The novelty of the volume lies in reframing decarbonisation as a structural reconfiguration of risk, rather than merely a regulatory or reporting challenge. It emphasises the fact that research and analysis of environmental, sustainability, and governance (ESG) dynamics are gaining centre stage in the academic sphere, but the problem of low transparency, and more specifically the lack of disclosure, is under-estimated, and the topic has gained insufficient attention to date.The book offers an in-depth description of the different approaches to transition and climate risk regulation through the critical analysis of the actions implemented by the main regulatory authorities and introduces a comprehensive analysis of climate risks and related scenarios using stress testing. It rethinks the concepts of risk, profit, and responsibility in the context of a pro-environmental attitude and adopts an interdisciplinary approach by exploring ESG issues from a quantitative, institutional, and behavioural perspective. This volume examines the transition and the costs connected with decarbonisation, focusing on the problems of disclosure and reporting, and considers the role of financial innovation and data-driven technologies in shaping transition dynamics, while developing a co-evolutionary framework linking risk, responsibility, and institutional design.The book is therefore positioned as a key reference for academics, advanced students, and researchers concerned with decarbonisation, transition risk, sustainable finance, and the evolving governance of financial and institutional systems.

Decarbonisation and the Reshaping of Risk

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>

Economics for Public Policy

Markets, State, and People

In a moment of interlocking and compounding crises that many commentators have aptly termed the "polycrisis," a leading analyst offers a clear-eyed account of the underlying economic trends fueling the global instability and market mayhem that have come to characterize contemporary capitalism. 
 
Rampant inequality. Unchecked climate change. A global pandemic. And now, seething international divisions and the escalatory spiral of war and state violence. As the world moves toward the end of the 2020s, each of the pieces of this mosaic are becoming impossible to ignore, but how do they all fit together? And where is it all heading?&nbsp; 
 
To answer these questions, economist and Marxist commentator Michael Roberts draws on his forty-plus years of experience working in various financial institutions in the City of London to provide an empirically grounded and wide ranging appraisal of the global situation.&nbsp; 
 
Roberts takes readers on a tour of the contemporary global economy, first by turning back to the Great Recession of 2008, and then offering a granular look at the economic priorities and contradictions of every region of the world. His analysis unearths the fault lines left behind by our most recent financial meltdown and how they fuel the economic engines driving the ecological crisis and resurgence of inter-imperial conflict. 
 
What emerges from this accounting of the polycrisis is the inescapable fact that capitalism's rapacious drive toward profit over and against any geopolitical boundaries or ecological limits threatens both humanity and the planet.

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

Decisions are everywhere--from a group's choice of pizza to a decision on a family vacation to the elections of political leaders. Central to the functioning of our organizations is the belief that these decisions reflect the wishes of voters. Yet most voting rules are unreliable and can lead to unfair outcomes. And, while a large body of academic literature describes the flaws and limitations of standard voting methods, little is known about why they occur.

In Fair Voting Methods, Donald G. Saari explores the difficulties that have plagued social choice theory for over seventy-five years. Focusing on ranked choice voting and group decision-making, Saari expands on Arrow's impossibility theorem and presents a more precise statement: all standard voting rules either fail to always rank the candidates to determine who is preferred to whom, or the voting outcomes can result in inferior choices that are not what the voters wanted. Saari then identifies and resolves the structures that negatively impact voting systems. While Arrow's seminal result asserted that the problems of standard voting systems are unavoidable, Saari makes a bold and compelling case that there are indeed usable fair voting methods. He introduces one such method that achieves Arrow's objectives of always ranking candidates with outcomes that reflect voters' intent. The book concludes by applying insights from voting theory into other topics where parts are also assembled into wholes, including judgement aggregation, corporate structures, crime prevention, the US Electoral College, and standard scientific procedures.

How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital reveals how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare and offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, anti-trust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.
