Elakhe E: Fiscal and Monetary Policy and
Economic Growth in Nigeria. A Comparati

Fiscal and Monetary Policy and Economic Growth in Nigeria. A Comparative Analysis

A provocative look at America's compulsion to consume and our obsession's surprising--and strange--origins. In a capitalist society, people sell their labor to purchase staples like food, shelter, and anxiety medication. That's the equation of everyday economic life that we've always been told is true. Except, is it really that simple anymore? No matter how unmaterialistic you may think you are, odds are that deep within is a drive to consume because it feels good: books you won't read, clothes you won't like and might wear even less, a replacement phone whose novelty runs out as quickly as its upgrade hits the market. But what drives this impulse? In Growth Machines, Mark Joseph Stelzner shows how today's consumers are now programmed by a US economy intent on infinite growth to work for goods they've been convinced they need and conditioned to want. Stelzner establishes the gaps between economic thinking and economic reality, arguing that consumption is no longer just a reflection of needs, but rather, it reflects a need for transaction--in many cases, a treat we seek out because it feels good. We work not only to be able to consume the essentials for living, but also to consume for consumption's sake. Yet such consumption doesn't make us happier. Stelzner traces this strange nature of consumption to an environmental source: an economy that demands growth. To keep its economy pumping, the US must keep Americans consuming. This makes Stelzner's book an uncomfortable reflection on how we internalize our economy. To be an American is to consume; to consume is what makes America.

Studies in International Law

This book examines international humanitarian law (IHL) in Africa. Taking a dual approach it looks initially at the African context before exploring contemporary armed conflicts. The first part addresses the marginalization of IHL in Africa, by theorizing the reasons for it and identifying clear strategies for enhancing IHL within the continent's armed conflict debates. The second part examines the core challenges posed by contemporary armed conflict. Two case studies underpin this: the Boko Haram insurgency in West Africa and armed conflict in South Sudan. This thought-provoking work addresses the dearth of literature presenting African stakeholders' expertise on IHL in the region.

National Bureau of Economic Research Conference Report

A wide-ranging collection of research examining the intricate economics of place-based policies. After decades of skepticism about place-based policies, recent initiatives such as Opportunity Zones and elements of the Inflation Reduction Act signal renewed policy interest in targeting economically distressed areas. This volume surveys empirical findings from the US and Europe on the effectiveness of these policies, explores new theoretical rationales for geographic targeting, and examines the institutional contexts that shape policy design and implementation. The contributors evaluate major place-based initiatives and consider nontraditional approaches to supporting regional economies, including large-scale industrial interventions, public employment reallocation, and economic development on Native American reservations. This collection is not limited to empirical policy impact evaluations as it takes a broader-ranging perspective. The contributors present evaluation evidence while also emphasizing the features, implementation processes, and institutional settings that shape policy effectiveness. They address critical questions such as: What new insights from economic theory can inform the design of place-based policies? What lessons from past policies are reflected--or ignored--in current approaches? How does US policymaking compare with European practices, and what takeaways can be derived from the comparison of the two? The Economics of Place-Based Policies provides policymakers with evidence-based guidance on the design of effective interventions while offering researchers a comprehensive foundation for future study of how public policy can address geographic economic disparities.

The Government and Politics of the European Union

This book offers a novel jurisprudential account of law by arguing for a conceptual understanding of participation as foundational to a general explanation of law and legitimate authority. In doing so, the book challenges dominant accounts, arguing that the existing failure to separate an explanation of law's authority from the concept of its legitimacy has left a general explanation of law incomplete. From this, the book argues, both general jurisprudence and broader society have suffered. This is especially so for societies that tend to fall outside the Euro-American concern of much mainstream analytical jurisprudence. The historical experience of such societies, however, reveals much of normative and analytical significance. Bringing together normative, historical archival, and case study analysis, the book develops a positive account of law that highlights the importance of participation as a multifaceted process in the continuous historical development of law and legal system in any society. This account, the book argues, is crucial to a more complete explanation of law's authoritative function and normative legitimacy. The book's account of participation, further, foregrounds a broader and more normatively robust understanding of the relationship between a general explanation of law and other philosophically fundamental ideals, namely: freedom, justice, democracy, and deliberation. The book's examinations, which integrate arguments from scholarship in African political philosophy with mainstream arguments in analytical jurisprudence, lead it to new and original answers to longstanding questions in legal philosophy about the nature of law's authority, it's legitimate justification and, the grounds also, for collectively disobeying it.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER USA TODAY BESTSELLER NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB MUST READThe definitive book on excellence: a practical guide to creating, contributing, and actualizing your potential amid the craziness of modern life, from bestselling author Brad Stulberg"An absolutely beautiful book."—Steve Kerr, nine-time NBA Champion; Coach of the Golden State Warriors and Team USAWhether you are practicing guitar, pushing your limits at the gym, leading a team, honing a craft, studying medicine, or giving yourself the time and space to finally write that book, the pursuit of excellence is a big part of what makes life worth living—and it is for all of us. Unlike "pseudo-excellence," which is about hustle culture and hacks, genuine excellence is about challenging yourself in worthwhile endeavors, focusing on what matters most, and expressing the unique qualities that make you who you are. Too often, we get caught up in convenience and distraction to the detriment of our true potential. The good news is that we can set ourselves on a better path, one that includes more aliveness and resonance, more connection to self and others.Here, Stulberg finds convergence between modern science, age-old philosophy, and daily practice to explain that we are wired to strive for excellence—it is what we are here to do, core to our humanity. Yet our environment often works against us. The path he shares to reclaim excellence means learning about: <ul><li>Defining, living, and working in alignment with your values</li><li>Cultivating focus and concentration</li><li>The power of prioritizing consistency over intensity</li><li>Building durable confidence</li><li>The connection between mastery and mattering</li><li>Developing the courage to care deeply</li><li>Designing environments that support excellence</li><li>Selecting goals based not just on what you want to achieve, but on who you want to become</li><li>Overcoming the traps, pitfalls, and barriers to excellence including alienation, chasing a never-ending supply of dopamine, and addiction to external validation and the opinions of others</li><li>Applying the principles and insights of excellence to one's organizations and communities</li></ul> At its core, excellence is a deeply-fulfilling process of becoming—the best performer, and person, you can be.

A Guide to True Greatness and Deep Satisfaction in a Chaotic World

The Way of Excellence

This book explores how COVID-19 represents an inflection point for re-thinking and re-making democracy across the English-speaking world in an age where states are facing a future of overlapping crises. Years after the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic started to unfold, have we yet learned the deep lessons essential to maintaining and improving democracy to meet crisis challenges? Produced with the benefit of distance from the most acute period of the pandemic, the book contextualises the COVID-19 crisis as revealing pre-existing vulnerabilities and intensifying challenges of governance, inclusion, and distrust, while also spurring democratic innovation and shifting the parameters for reform. Six national case studies - Australia, Ireland, Canada, Aotearoa New Zealand, UK and USA - reveal the heterogeneity of the Anglosphere as an imagined democratic space. Viewed in the round, pandemic responses ranged from the chaotic to the internationally lauded, although even the latter have featured acute deficiencies in democratic practice, which underscores the need to gather the lessons learned. Yet, in all states, the public and political temptation to simply move on, in an act of communal forgetting and collective return to "normalcy," presents a real risk of failing to prepare for more democratic future crisis responses. This collection takes the long view, approaching its subject from multiple perspectives that examine the heterogeneity of the Anglosphere as an imagined democratic space. Taking a cross-disciplinary approach and bringing together both leading and emerging experts on democracy, constitutionalism, and the rule of law, this book powerfully combines the insights of retrospective analysis with future-focused contemplation of where our democracies are heading.

Democracy’s Power to Meet Tomorrow’s Polycrisis

Pandemocracy in the Anglosphere

This book explores the historical, comparative and global dimensions of the constitutional phenomenon. From the origins of constitutionalism to the diverse trajectories of North American and European constitutionalism, the book considers pivotal moments in the emergence and evolution of formal Constitutions as the main structure of constitutional governance. It presents a critical inquiry into the realities that lie beneath the surface of formal constitutional documents. From the struggles for democratic governance in Latin America to Asia's delicate balance between tradition and modernity and Africa's post-colonial arrangements, the book poses a critical query: amidst the promises of democratic ideals, do formal Constitutions always translate into effective governance? What are the lessons of 'facade' Constitutions on the tension between formal documents and the realities of governance? The book explores the past and present of constitutional governance in the first quarter of the 21st century and offers insights on the future of constitutionalism. By assessing the normative quality of Constitutions and exploring the intrinsic link between them and representation, it offers an understanding of the essence and trajectories of constitutional thought and practice. The Rise of Constitutionalism is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the enduring legacy and evolving nature of the constitutional phenomenon.
