The Story of Economics

Economics

In this book, Scott Alan Carson&nbsp;considers&nbsp;the relationship between economic development and net nutrition. Highlighting new health patterns found from a thorough analysis of more than 320,000 height observations across imprisoned individuals and the general public in the 19th- and 20th-century United States, the book highlights a new history of United States net nutrition, health, and urbanization.The book begins with historical observations regarding wealth, income, agricultural productivity, transportation revolution, and disease in urban landscapes. Chapters span the Barker hypothesis, nutritional variations by region, migratory patterns, and domestic residence. Analysing data related to height, race, gender, socioeconomic status, and disease, Carson reveals previously unexplored and undetected health variation. The book examines the historical health of the American populace during industrialization as it relates to broader economic change and public well-being.Exploring the human cost of urbanization, the book offers economists, anthropometric researchers, economic historians, and anthropologists a new way to conceptualize the relationship between historical health data and urbanization.Scott Alan Carson&nbsp;
 is Professor of Economics for the College of Arts &amp; Sciences at the University of Texas, Permian Basin. He has been a Visiting Professor at the University of California, Berkeley for over 20 years.

Economic Welfare and Health During Development

<div>
In this book, José Rente Nascimento explores the economic, environmental, social, and cultural dynamics of the Amazon. The book weaves five centuries of transformation, highlighting geographical conditions, Amerindian resource stewardship, the rubber boom, postcolonial policies, and today’s development pressures. Spanning infrastructure, mining, ranching, and agricultural expansion, the book analyzes Amazonian challenges within their historical context.
Drawing on lessons from both failed policies and successful initiatives, Nascimento addresses urgent contemporary issues, including deforestation, indigenous welfare, land tenure, forest-based development, and the complex balance between environmental protection and sustainable growth.
More than a historical account, this book presents a conceptual framework that links past trajectories to present challenges, providing an essential and inspiring resource for students, policymakers, researchers, and all those seeking to learn from Amazonia’s history to secure its sustainable future.

The Amazonian Odyssey

Sports Economics, Management and Policy

Soccer has become "big business." The aggregated market value of the first and second division teams from the "Big 5" European Leagues (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) is nearly EUR12 billion. Using systematic and anecdotal evidence from the "Big 5" and additional evidence from other European and some of the South American Leagues (Brazil and Argentina), this book explores the development of soccer as the world's most important team sport and addresses competitive balance across the a large number of leagues. The book also provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the market for players, coaches and referees as well as the demand for soccer, both on TV, at the gate, and in the betting office. Finally, the economic implications of pertinent recent problems, such as hooliganism and racism, are addressed.

Most of the discussion about player salaries, head coach dismissals, stadium subsidies, ticket prices and TV contracts is not very well informed and is based on prejudices. Assembling and interpreting the relevant and available information from an economic viewpoint provides the reader with a fresh new perspective on those subjects. Econometric evidence is presented in the form of graphs and figures instead of regression coefficients and is supplemented by anecdotal evidence. "Economic jargon" will be limited to a minimum in order to give readers a more intuitive understanding of the material.

Conquering the Pitch

The legal concepts that can fundamentally inform the economics of institutions In Legal Institutionalism, the eminent economist Geoffrey Hodgson proposes a new analytic approach for understanding modern economic institutions. Law helps to constitute some of the key features of modern market economies. Moreover, there is evidence that many people believe that obeying the law is important in itself, especially when it is deemed just, legitimate, and uncorrupt. Consequently, he argues, the role of law must be considered in analyses of the nature and dynamics of modern economic institutions and the motivations of economic agents. Hodgson lays out the basic approach and intellectual assumptions of legal institutionalism, citing such thinkers as Adam Smith and Karl Marx as well as insights from institutional economics, law, philosophy, psychology, and social theory. He considers how legal institutions emerged and evolved throughout history, stressing their importance in large-scale, complex economies. Informal rules and relations are vital as well, he explains, but these often rely on face-to-face contact, with smaller numbers of people. He shows that by examining relevant legal rules and relations alongside important informal rules, we can improve our understanding of the nature and role of property, contracts, money, and firms. Revisiting the socialist calculation debate on the feasibility of socialist planning, Hodgson argues that both sides paid insufficient attention to legal issues and underestimated the importance and inevitability of mixed economies. This milestone work by Hodgson has major implications for both theory and policy, suggesting new approaches to economic development, the theory of the firm, and countering the policy extremes of markets versus states.

Palgrave Studies in African and Development Economics

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the land economy of Ghana, a country that has experienced rapid economic changes and complex governance challenges. Bringing together ideas from across economics, property law, sociology, and environmental science, it offers unique insight into how land is acquired, owned, managed, valued, utilised, and conserved within a diverse legal framework. Practical solutions are offered to address common land related issues, such as tenure insecurity, land disputes, and market inefficiencies, and to maximise the land’s economic potential, in line with sustainable development principles.This book is an essential resource for understanding the land economy and Africa’s rapidly evolving economic landscape. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in the land economy and development economics.Felix Nikoi Hammond

Milton Friedman and Economic Debate in the United States

The fourth installment of the sweeping account of the most influential economist in modern times, focusing on his crossover into the public sphere. Milton Friedman is widely recognized as one of the most significant contributors to economics in the modern age. Yet no previous study has distilled Friedman's vast body of writings into an authoritative account of his research, his policy views, and his interventions in public debate. Through his sweeping series on the most influential economist of the second half of the twentieth century, Edward Nelson closes this gap: Milton Friedman and EconomicDebate in the United States is the defining narrative on the famed public intellectual--the first to grapple comprehensively with Friedman's research output, economic framework, and legacy. Volume 4 of Nelson's intellectual and policy biography offers an exacting portrait of Friedman's career following his departure from the University of Chicago. Spanning 1977 to 1979, Nelson's narrative details Friedman's move to California and his greater immersion in public policy, including his project with Rose Friedman and television professionals to create a TV series giving his viewpoint. Nelson details the successes and failures of Friedman's years of extraordinary influence, including: <ul><li>His warnings about US inflation returning to double digits in 1979;</li><li>The changes in professional thinking in the US economics profession and policymaking toward acceptance of Friedman's view that inflation is a monetary phenomenon;</li><li>The rise of Paul Volcker to head of the Federal Reserve and his integration of monetarist ideas into US monetary policy;</li><li>Friedman's proposal to phase in a zero-tariff arrangement in the United States; </li><li>His role in the tax revolt of the 1970s--including his break with the emerging supply-side economics movement on the effects of tax cuts;</li><li>The second oil-price shock and Friedman's critique of the Carter Administration's energy policy;</li><li>The resilience after 1976 of Ronald Reagan's presidential ambitions and Friedman's 1979 endorsement of Reagan for president in the 1980 election.</li></ul>Drawing upon a large body of documentary sources, interviews with dozens of the people closest to Friedman, and his own expertise in Friedman's research area of monetary analysis, Nelson offers the definitive account of what proved to be pivotal years for Friedman and the field of economics.

Critical and Post-Keynesian Perspectives

A History of Modern Macroeconomics

“I really enjoyed reading this. Robert Ippaso covers inflation from Hammurabi to COVID-19 in an entertaining manner, illustrating the social impact—including the reactionary impacts—of inflation. The book provides a wealth of information about inflation. Eager readers: Be prepared to take the book page by page, section by section. This is a great book.”—Bryan Taylor, Chief Economist, Finaeon Inc. and author of 
 A Global History of Currencies
 &nbsp;
 Inflation, Its Victims, and Its Profiteers&nbsp; examines four millennia of monetary turbulence to show that inflation is neither modern nor mysterious—merely humanity's oldest recurring argument between what things cost and what people will accept.Tracing price instability from Mesopotamian grain edicts to twenty-first-century currency crises, the book identifies the patterns that connect ancient debasement, wartime finance, and contemporary policy failures. Economic incentives, political pressures, and the enduring irrationality of human behaviour collectively shape every inflationary episode — and history suggests today's are no more unprecedented than they feel.Seven sections move from conceptual foundations to forensic case studies: how industries from automotive manufacturing to oil have adapted; how criminal networks thrive in inflationary environments; how professions insulate themselves from monetary erosion; how central banking, dollarization, and digital currencies have each promised stability with mixed results. The centrepiece surveys inflation crises across civilisations — Mesopotamia to modern Latin America — before a closing chapter projects likely trajectories in developed economies over the next quarter-century.A book for anyone who suspects that rising prices deserve more than a newspaper column — and that the past has rather more to say about the present than policymakers prefer to admit.&nbsp;Robert Ippaso
 is an economist, economic historian, and international entrepreneur whose four decades of business experience across six continents inform his reading of inflation as a living force rather than an academic abstraction. He holds a PhD in Entrepreneurship and Innovation and a BA (Hons) in Economics and Economic History.
