Eine kritische Betrachtung gesamtwirtschaftlicher Beratung

Wahrheit und Irrtum in der Wirtschaftspolitik

'Excellent' Aaron Bastani 'Provocative ... An entertaining, sweeping read' Financial Times Every leader comes to power promising growth: think back to the campaigns of Boris, Truss, Sunak, Starmer, Trump. Yet real-term income hasn't improved in the UK since 2008. 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.

Economics is vital, but its labyrinth of equations can make it feel disconnected from the real world. Enter a powerful tool: the metaphor.From longtime economics journalist Peter Coy comes an approachable and fun guide to the metaphors that unlock its power. With nearly 500 alphabetized entries, complemented by playful illustrations, Economics Without Numbers demystifies concepts, exploring their origins, the truths they express, and where they fall short. The result is a delightful and original primer on economic ideas and history that's perfect for students and anyone who wants to understand what makes the world go 'round.Coy has spent decades collecting these vivid metaphors. From "trickle-down economics" (the idea that making the rich richer will help the poor) to "inductivist turkey" (a parable about the perils of assuming that a trend will persist without knowing its cause), Coy brings economics to life.

The Middle East region is facing rapid transformation through climate change, shifting global alliances, digital disruption, and changing governance models, so what does this mean for the future of a region as diverse as this one? Middle Eastern Futures: Leadership, Development, and Resilience in a Transforming Region aims to reframe traditional narratives of Middle Eastern politics and development. Rather than viewing the region solely through the lens of conflict or crisis, the book highlights proactive, strategic efforts by governments, civil society actors, and businesses to shape sustainable and adaptive futures. Drawing on a range of case studies--including Gulf states' visions (e.g., Saudi Vision 2030), post-conflict recovery in Iraq and Syria, water and food security initiatives, and youth leadership movements in Lebanon and Palestine--the book foregrounds local agency, innovation, and systemic resilience. The research addresses key themes emerging in contemporary Middle Eastern studies: the evolving nature of political leadership, the redefinition of national development strategies in light of sustainability and economic diversification, and the increasing importance of resilience as both a policy goal and a lived experience. For readers, the interdisciplinary analysis bridges political science, development economics, sociology, and international relations to provide a comprehensive understanding of Middle Eastern transformations.

Behavioural Economics and Experiments

In 2002, John Maraganore left the leadership of an established biotech company with an ambition many thought implausible. Small RNA molecules had been found to stop cells making specific proteins by destroying messenger RNAs. It was one of biology's most exciting recent discoveries. But it seemed unlikely that this RNA interference (RNAi) could ever be applied therapeutically. The molecules were hard to work with and there was no technology for delivering them where they would be needed. Skeptics were plentiful and success unlikely. Nevertheless, Maraganore joined a group of visionary scientists in Cambridge MA to become the founding CEO of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, intent on creating RNAi-based medicines. The Importance of Being Unreasonable is Maraganore's inside account of the two-decade pursuit of an unproven idea and its culmination in creating an entirely new class of medicines capable of silencing disease-causing genes. Along the way, Alnylam faced seemingly intractable scientific problems in chemistry and drug delivery as well as huge challenges in clinical development, financing, and commercialization. Maraganore describes exhilarating breakthroughs and devastating failures, fierce competitors and indispensable collaborators, and bold strategic bets and times of peril for the company's survival. Yet the conviction that transformative science demanded rigorous evidence as well as the willingness to flout conventional wisdom resulted in the development and global deployment of five RNAi-based therapeutics before Maraganore stepped down in 2021. Part scientific adventure, part company-building story, and part reflection on scientific leadership, this book offers a rare view of the biotechnology industry from the inside. Maraganore shows how company culture, resilience, calculated risk, and an unwavering focus on patients can turn scientific possibilities into medicines, and how progress often depends on people unreasonable enough to persist when others say it cannot be done.

The Importance of Being Unreasonable: Building a Company on the Frontiers of Science and Medicine

This book reframes the question of how Africa industrializes, and is the first to address a key challenge facing African economies today: achieving structural transformation alongside decarbonization, i.e. industrializing and greening simultaneously, rather than sequentially as earlier developers did. 

Drawing on primary fieldwork across five national economies - Ethiopia, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa - and six strategic sectors, accounting for 40% of Africa's GDP and a third of its population, Arkebe Oqubay advances the concept of Green Productive Transformation, in which structural economic change and decarbonization are treated as mutually constitutive imperatives rather than competing objectives. The comparative evidence demonstrates that where government policy, industrial hubs, and firm capabilities are strategically aligned, productive transformation and green transformation reinforce each other; where they are not, industrial growth follows the path of least environmental resistance, producing carbon lock-in. 

Just transition and energy transition frameworks are designed primarily with industrialized economies in mind. This book challenges the utility of these frameworks for Africa, and instead advances a domestically-driven alternative, grounded in structural transformation theory, green industrial policy, and the political economy of late development. No single green pathway exists for Africa: the evidence presented here reveals conditional pathways shaped by national context, sectoral configuration, and policy choice. A green, productive Africa is not an inevitable outcome of global technological change, but it is genuinely within reach, and the first step is getting the analysis right.
