Saks D: On Our Bikes

On Our Bikes

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment group and a control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

How Economists Use Natural Experiments to Decipher Our World

Daughters, Diplomats, and Death

In collaboration with JVL Media—a captivating exploration of why many high-performing Black business leaders attribute their transformational leadership qualities to their experiences growing up in the Black Church and how we can foster these skills in younger generations despite waning church attendance.The Black church in the U.S. has long been a “one-stop shop” for developing Black leaders, teaching them many of the qualities required to lead effectively in today’s ultra-competitive, digital, and swiftly transforming corporate world. Many high-performing Black leaders benefited from their experiences growing up in this cultural institution steeped in rich history.Merging cultural study with applied neuroscience and tenets of positive psychology, L. Michelle Smith dissect how these qualities are demonstrated by leaders across industries, from resiliency to their sense of undeniable purpose, their ability to build community and collaborative environments, the delivery and language of their speaking style to their unique leadership flair. She reveals how this historic institution has served as a timeless wellspring of leadership development, empowerment, and cultural preservation and ultimately, is Black leaders’ “secret sauce.”Call and Response also explores whether the Black Church will be able to continue to ingrain these skills in future generations. Smith examines how cultural shifts have resulted in a decline in church attendance, how online attendance has risen since the Covid pandemic, and finally, how Black leaders may—or may not—be passing these traditions down to their children.

Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos - bis Mai 2015 Sprecher der basisdemokratischen zapatistischen Befreiungsbewegung EZLN im Südosten Mexikos und als SubGaleano heute weiterhin eine der kollektiven Stimmen der Zapatistas in der Öffentlichkeit - spricht über den Zusammenhang von Krieg und Politischer Ökonomie, insbesondere über die politische Ökonomie als Fortführung des Krieges und den Krieg als Fortführung der Politischen Ökonomie.

»Dieser Vierte Weltkrieg setzt das ein, was wir Zerstörung nennen. Es werden Gebiete zerstört und entvölkert. In der Stunde des Krieges wird das Gebiet zerstört und zur Wüste. Nicht aus Zerstörungswut, sondern um es zu rekonstruieren und neu zu ordnen. (...) Nach der Zerstörung muss aufgebaut werden. Die Rekonstruktion macht aus den Gebieten einen anderen Ort. Einen Ort, den die Gesetze der Märkte bestimmen.« (SCIM)

Die vorliegende Textsammlung zeichnet die Kontinuität innerhalb der Theoriebildung der Zapatistas von 1994 bis zur heutigen Zeit nach und bietet so die Möglichkeit, ihre selbst geschaffene Autonomie und internationalistische Praxis kennenzulernen. Wie sie selbst sagen: »Die Reflexion von Theorie wird Metatheorie genannt. Die zapatistische Metatheorie ist unsere Praxis.« (SCIM) Wir hören eine Stimme aus dem globalen Süden, die von Krieg, aber auch von Widerstand und Organisierung spricht.

Die vorliegenden Schriften sind sowohl Einführung in als auch Ergänzung zum Buch »EZLN: Das kritische Denken angesichts der kapitalistischen Hydra«, das im Herbst 2016 ebenfalls bei Unrast erschienen ist.

The creator and CEO of ProWritingAid uses the latest science of peak performance and psychology to reveal how, in only four minutes a day, writers can become "creative athletes" and unlock their greatest asset: their mind.The Writer's Mind solves the biggest problem in writing: the unfinished manuscript.Most writers don't struggle because they lack talent, discipline, or ideas. They struggle because of what happens in their minds when they sit down to write. Even motivated, skilled writers find themselves blocked by self-doubt, perfectionism, procrastination, and emotional exhaustion. The creative brain must constantly switch between imagination and focus-often over long periods-and this unique mental demand makes writing feel harder than it needs to be.In The Writer's Mind, Chris Banks draws on neuroscience, positive psychology, cognitive behavioral science, and a decade of first-hand research with millions of writers to reveal a simple truth: mindset-not craft-is the primary factor that determines whether writers finish their work or quietly give up.Introducing writers to how their brains actually work, including the concept of the mind as an 'energy landscape' shaped by habits, beliefs, and emotional patterns, readers learn how common 'writing blocks' form, why their biggest strengths often hide their biggest limitations, and how small, intentional mental practices can rewire creativity, focus, and resilience. These tools help writers quiet their inner critic, escape overthinking, build sustainable focus, and develop a healthier relationship with their creative work.Blending science and storytelling, The Writer's Mind reframes writing from an uphill battle into a sustainable creative practice. It offers writers not inspiration alone, but a clear, compassionate operating manual for consolidation, consistency, and joy.

The Writer's Mind

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

A practical guide to building shared strategy that positively impacts culture and performance. The SOAR framework has been used for over twenty years in business, government, education, healthcare, and community settings. Strategy is most powerful when the people responsible for delivering it shape it. Yet, strategy often breaks down because the people expected to implement it were never involved in its creation. Valuable knowledge goes untapped, people become disconnected from decisions, and strategy struggles to translate into meaningful action. The SOAR Effect offers a better way forward. Developed by Jackie Stavros and grounded in more than two decades of research and global practice, SOAR helps readers build strategy through strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results. The real-world stories and practical guidance demonstrate how shared strategy fosters trust, collaboration, purpose, and alignment. Readers learn how to do the following: <ul><li>Bring the right people into strategic decision-making</li><li>Identify the strengths of a team or organization to create value</li><li>Explore opportunities to expand possibilities for growth and innovation</li><li>Articulate aspirations that give people clear direction and a future they care about</li><li>Define meaningful results and connect them to action plans</li><li>Build shared capability so people at every level can think, plan, lead, and act strategically</li></ul> With case studies, questions, sample designs, and companion resources, this book gives readers a repeatable approach for creating a strategy that lives in the organization long after the planning session ends.

ASAP: As SLOW as Possible

How most investing decisions differ from what the data say works—and how replacing myth with measurement can improve outcomes. The Accidental Venture Capitalist examines how early-stage investment decisions are actually made—and why so many of them diverge from what the evidence says should work. Written by an academic-turned-venture capitalist Scott Shane, the book sits at the intersection of rigorous research and lived investing experience. Its central premise is simple but uncomfortable: in venture capital, folklore and intuition dominate practice, even though decades of empirical research offer more reliable guidance on selection, pricing, portfolio construction, and incentives. The book follows the full arc of the venture process, from fund design and deal sourcing to valuation, syndication, follow-on investing, governance, and exits. Each chapter takes a familiar maxim—“bet on the jockey,” “do more diligence,” “double down on winners”—and tests it against large-sample academic evidence and real investment outcomes. Shane’s analysis is grounded in power-law economics, behavioral decision-making, and incentive alignment. And he is transparent about mistakes as well as successes, treating his own funds as a living laboratory rather than a victory lap. The book also offers practical tools—checklists, heuristics, simple models—that translate evidence into decisions investors can actually implement.
