Global Production Sharing, Industrialisation And Trade Patterns: Lessons And Insights From Asia

Fostering Innovation in Business Through Creative Integration

Kintsugi

In The Four Paradigms in Economics: Theories, Concepts, and Analytical Tools, Kavous Ardalan demonstrates how these four paradigms explain any economics phenomenon differently, and therefore, together they provide a broader and deeper understanding of the economic phenomenon under consideration. The main theme of The Four Paradigms of Economics is that social theory can usefully be conceived in terms of these four key paradigms: functionalist, interpretive, radical humanist, and radical structuralist. The four paradigms are founded upon different assumptions about the nature of social science and society, and therefore, provide different explanations of any phenomenon. The book also looks at the major prevailing schools of thought in economics (Neo-Classical Economics, New Institutional Economics, Behavioral Economics, Austrian Economics, Post-Keynesian Economics, Institutional Economics, Social Economics, Radical Economics, and Marxist Economics) from the point of view of the four paradigms and locates them within the four-paradigm framework.

Theories, Concepts, and Analytical Tools

The Four Paradigms in Economics

'One of the most original and important books on Africa in years' FINANCIAL TIMES'A compelling case for the continent's potential' Bill GatesThe birth of new nations, independent democracies, the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo; the African continent is booming. So why do myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land and overpopulation remain?In a groundbreaking new study of Africa's developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views about the continent's presumed resistance to growth, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management. Considering everything from settler colonialism to soil conditions, mineral extractivism to disease development and eradication, Studwell persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people and states across Africa, has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world's second largest continent - and an optimistic look to its future.

Success and Failure on the World's Last Developmental Frontier

How Africa Works

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

Renowned economists Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo (corecipients of the 2019 Nobel Prize), and Michael Greenstone propose a radical new approach to combatting the most serious global crisis of our time: climate change. The lives of the world's poorest are already harder, hotter, and shorter thanks to emissions that disproportionately come from the world's richest. But just as the rich world's emissions are finally falling, poorer countries' are set to increase drastically.We seem to be caught in an impossible bind--but it's not too late. Substantial progress is possible if the wealthiest countries compensate the poorer countries for the harms that their emissions cause and, in exchange, poorer countries commit to climate action. Based on meticulous original research and years of fieldwork around the world, this paradigm-shifting and inspiring book reassures us that we can successfully confront the challenge. We can protect the poor while protecting our future. It's just economics.

Trade Policy, Trade Agreements, And Economic Growth: Essays In International Trade Theory

China is the world's biggest carbon emitter as well as the leading producer of green energy. What lies behind this fascinating contradiction? In recent years, China has built more renewable energy infrastructure than the rest of the world combined and is leading the global shift towards electrification. The Green Superpower: How China Shapes Our Future outlines China's role as a green leader in the upcoming Fourth Industrial Revolution and illustrates how European companies can become more competitive by learning from their Chinese counterparts. Experienced journalist and regional expert Christina Boutrup explores how China is leading the move away from fossil fuels, from how affordable Chinese solar panels are revolutionising the global energy landscape to the electrification of the world's largest car market and the revolutionary implications of autonomous AI technologies. Cautiously optimistic, the author covers key geopolitical trends affecting green economic progress across the world, and ultimately serves a wake-up call: to compete with China's success, Western business leaders need to learn from their Chinese counterparts and treat the green transition as a business case. The balance of global power is poised to shift. No longer copycat manufacturers of inferior products, Chinese firms are at the forefront of the world's potential first "electrostate". Now more than ever it is vital to acknowledge the central role that China plays in the transition to green energy and to learn from their strategies. The Green Superpower is essential reading for policymakers, business leaders, and practitioners who operate at the intersection of environmental policy, security, sustainability and innovation.

How China Shapes Our Future

The Green Superpower

Christine Lagarde is a woman of firsts: first female head of the IMF, first female President of the ECB - and all without a classic career path through the world of finance. In her first autobiography, she recounts her rise, her successes and setbacks, and her fight against prejudice. It sheds light on the great crises of the global economy, her courageous decisions, and her distinctive perspective on power, emancipation, and change. Complemented by the voices of her most important companions, the result is a multifaceted portrait of a woman who breaks boundaries and consistently challenges the status quo.

Lady First

Every leader comes to power promising growth: think back to the campaigns of Boris, Truss, Trump. Yet real-term income isn't improving. Across the West, growth has stagnated for well over a decade, leading to cost of living crises, political instability and rising social tensions. Is real economic growth still possible? And with the climate emergency accelerating beyond repair, should we still be pushing for it? In Icarus Economics, acclaimed economist John Rapley argues that the problem of growth is inherently tied up with the climate crisis. We often assume that poor countries will bear the brunt of climate change, pandemics, and other exogenous shocks, but this book argues the opposite: western societies have more wealth and capital to lose and are less inherently resilient. In this book, he shows us how rich countries can grow their own economies by helping poor countries to decarbonise - and in the process, mitigate the effects of climate change.

Why Rich Economies Are Struggling - and How to Fix Them

Icarus Economics

Independent, inflation-targeting central banks were supposed to deliver stable prices, financial stability and lasting prosperity. Instead, they have presided over financial crises, stagnant growth, rising inequality and the return of inflation. Yet policymakers and politicians have proved remarkably reluctant to challenge the orthodoxy. Why has this model proved so resilient-and what should replace it? In The Gods That Failed, economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that today's macroeconomic policy framework rests on five powerful myths that have shaped economic thinking since the 1980s. From the "natural" rate of interest and the management of inflation expectations to efficient financial markets and the taboos surrounding fiscal dominance and credit policy, these ideas continue to constrain policymakers even as the evidence against them becomes overwhelming. Blending colourful economic history, cutting-edge research and vivid real-world examples, Ryan-Collins opens-up the often opaque and technocratic world of monetary and financial policy for a wide readership and illustrates its fundamental flaws. At a time of repeated economic and financial shocks, ecological breakdown and geopolitical instability, The Gods That Failed argues that rebuilding our economies will require a wholesale rethinking of how central banks, governments and financial institutions work together to manage money, credit and the macroeconomy.

Rethinking Central Banking and Macrofinancial Policy for the Age of Polycrisis

The Gods that Failed

After the Lehman Shock in September 2008, international policy coordination has played a major role to prevent the recurrence of the Great Depression of the 1930s. At the same time, the premier international forum constituted to debate the world economy has shifted from the G-7 of advanced economies to the G-20, which includes emerging economies. This book explores discussions and policy decisions taken at G-7 and G-20 meetings, as well as in debates within the IMF, on policy challenges, including exchange rate policy, the correction of external imbalances, the prevention of financial crises, the solution to the sovereign debt crises of the Euro-zone, development aid policy, and economic cooperation. It also examines international capital flows into and out of emerging markets, power games between emerging markets and advanced economies on the reform of the international monetary system, and the recent policy initiatives in Japan-dubbed "Abenomics." To properly understand the extraordinary transformation of the world economy in recent years and gain some insight into what the future has in store for us, even those moderately well informed on the unfolding of current economic affairs may feel in need of additional guidance. Navigation can be hard without a map. This book is written to meet this need. The purpose of this book is to make the economic turbulences of the recent past make sense to contextualize, give background, supply necessary theoretical explanation, and so join the dots.
