Ellis J: The Austerity Instinct

The Austerity Instinct

Why You Still Live Like You're Broke, Even Though You're Not

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

How To Live An Extraordinary Life

Palgrave Studies in Public Debt, Spending, and Revenue

This book examines the interplay of professional norms and political accountability in the process of making decisions about whether, how, and how much debt state and local governments should incur. The careful analysis of accountability in actual decisions, focusing particularly on whether and how individual and collective decision-making behavior responds to general (stipulated) norms and situational (negotiated) expectations in their broader social contexts, is a familiar approach in the study of management and public organizations generally, but has not been extensively applied to this area of public financial decision making. Political economists, especially those identified with the public-choice approach, have done extensive macro-level normative and theoretical analysis of public debt, but not in an empirically rich fashion. This book therefore constitutes a missing link that uses analyses of selected cases to advance conceptual understandings of organizational accountability spaces in general, and decisions to incur public indebtedness and the implications of those decisions specifically, by examining the intersection of the macro, meso, and micro levels of expectations for and practices of public financial decision making.

Contributions to Economics

This book is of interest to economists working in applied demand analysis, marketing professionals studying product substitution and complementarity, and policymakers evaluating the effects of taxes, subsidies, and regulatory interventions on consumer behavior. Applying the analytical framework on the internal structure of consumption, this book explores how different categories of consumer spending interact and how these relationships shape the broader structure of consumption.The analyses focus on timely and policy-relevant issues, including the distributional impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, the implementation of safe drinking water standards (with particular attention to low-income households), and the potential effects of carbon taxes on consumer expenditures.A key strength of the framework lies in its ability to derive comprehensive arrays of own- and cross-price elasticities from household expenditure survey data—even in the absence of direct price information.

Discover how inclusive capitalism can restore American greatness and secure the nation's economic future for everyone Capitalism For All: Inclusive Economics and the Future-Proofing of America by John Hope Bryant presents a revolutionary framework for rebuilding American prosperity through economic inclusion rather than division. As the founder and CEO of Operation HOPE, America's first non-profit social investment banking organization, and a former vice-chairman of the President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, Bryant brings decades of frontline experience empowering underserved communities. This book addresses America's growing economic inequality and social fragmentation by demonstrating how inclusive capitalism - not exclusionary policies - can restore the middle class, revitalize the American Dream, and maintain our position as the world's leading economy. Bryant's comprehensive analysis spans three critical sections: making the case for capitalism that works for all Americans, providing practical strategies for implementation, and charting the path forward on domestic and global stages. The book tackles everything from rebuilding opportunity ladders and leveraging technology as an equalizer to preparing for AI's impact and creating sustainable jobs of the future. With detailed business plans for America and insights into stakeholder capitalism, Bryant offers both diagnosis and cure for our economic challenges, concluding with a vision of America as a global model for inclusive prosperity. Key insights and strategies include: <ul> <li>The Middle Class as America's Superpower How expanding rather than contracting our middle class strengthens national security and economic competitiveness</li> <li>Futureproofing Through Technology Concrete plans for ensuring AI and emerging technologies lift all Americans rather than leaving communities behind</li> <li>Stakeholder Capitalism in Action Real-world examples and frameworks for businesses to drive inclusive growth while maintaining profitability</li> <li>Global Leadership Through Inclusion How inclusive economics positions America as a beacon of opportunity and strengthens our international influence</li> <li>Practical Implementation Tools Detailed playbooks and business plans for creating systemic change at community, corporate, and policy levels</li> </ul> Capitalism For All serves business leaders, policymakers, community organizers, and engaged citizens who recognize that America's strength lies in its people's collective prosperity. Whether you're seeking to understand how economic inclusion drives national competitiveness or looking for actionable strategies to build a more equitable capitalism, Bryant provides both the moral imperative and practical roadmap for ensuring the American Dream remains achievable for all.

Budgeting Workbook For Dummies

In a novel application of the work of neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics to the philosophy of business, Robert CB Miller argues that free-market capitalism requires virtues to mitigate its flaws and to enhance its strengths. Ethics in a Capitalist Economy begins with an outline of modern virtue ethics, deriving from Aristotle and Aquinas and reinvigorated in the 20th century by writers including Elizabeth Anscombe and Philippa Foot. Taking up the idea that human nature determines the virtues, Miller sets out three types of virtue specific to economic activity: contractual, behavioural and entrepreneurial. With reference to major historical and contemporary thinkers including Adam Smith, John Locke, David Hume, Alasdair MacIntyre, Mary Midgeley and Steven Pinker, the book shows the flaws in the market economy and the ways in which these flaws can be mitigated by the application of particular virtues in order to encourage human flourishing. The book includes three case studies investigating the practice (or absence) of virtues in real world situations: on the career of Warren Buffett, on insights from behavioural economics and on the philanthropic efforts of business leaders. This book combines practical considerations with a detailed and accessible reading of the theory of virtue ethics and its relation to human nature in political economy.

Ethics in a Capitalist Economy

Classroom Companion: Economics

This textbook offers a distinctive and accessible approach to the economics of uncertainty by placing risk-sharing at the core of the analysis. Rather than relying on the standard principal-agent or mechanism-design framework, it develops a unified perspective that interprets insurance, incentives, and financial arrangements as variations on the possibilities and limits of sharing risk under information frictions.A key strength of the book is its focus on environments in which all agents are exposed to risk. By moving beyond the common assumption of a risk-neutral principal with deep pockets, it provides a more realistic and broadly applicable framework for analysing moral hazard, adverse selection, signalling, and banking models. This perspective enables readers to understand asymmetric information not merely as a contracting problem, but as a constraint on socially valuable risk-sharing arrangements.The exposition combines rigour with accessibility. Formal models are presented with propositions, proofs, and exercises, while requiring only intermediate microeconomics, basic calculus, and elementary probability. This makes the book ideally suited for advanced undergraduate and master’s courses, as well as for readers seeking a clear and coherent introduction to modern information economics.
