Maynard House

Maynard S: The Broken Ladder

The Broken Ladder

How Britain's Young People Were Priced Out of Work, Security and Independence

The global economic edifice built after World War II is a source of unprecedented prosperity. It cannot function without open and predictable international trade, and the peaceful international relations that are its foundation. The rules that enable trade are under attack. Social divisions and great power rivalry have eroded the political support for open trade. The consequence is fragmentation of world trade, its separation into blocks that advance domestic producers or favored nations nearby. These blocs are themselves often pulled apart by competing agendas. The prospects are for vastly reduced economic efficiency and - most ominously - heightened geopolitical tensions. The questions about why this is happening, how economic fragmentation will evolve, and how to respond to it, are uppermost in the minds of policymakers and businesses across the world. These are the questions that Uri Dadush seeks to answer. Since the uncertainty cannot be dispelled, it must be better managed.

Geopolitics, Trade Blocks, and the Fragmentation of World Commerce

How to Manage Your Employees & Workplace

The Employer's Legal Handbook

A centuries-spanning tour de force that speaks directly to the present, The Global Origins of Capitalism will reshape our understanding of economic history. Democratic market societies are in crisis. Social dislocation, anomie, and global ecological collapse live side-by-side with unimaginable wealth. Alongside real global improvements in health and longevity we find ourselves buffeted by a never-ending cycle of forces beyond our power or understanding. Gradually over a thousand years, and then quickly in the blink of an historical eye, capitalism has taken over human life, transforming our social relations and very consciousness. In The Global Origins of Capitalism, Yochai Benkler describes how this out-of-human-control dynamic evolved to the point where it overwhelmed all opposition, bringing with it both unimaginable prosperity and recurring patterns of inequality and social dislocation, and why all efforts to tame it have, to this point, failed. In doing so, Benkler provides a major reinterpretation of the entire history of modern capitalism, from the founding of Baghdad--the first major proto-capitalist node in a half-globe-spanning network through which institutions and knowledge, technologies and raw materials, people and products flowed--to the present. Innovation, production, trade, and distribution have always involved creation and leveraging of power, yet power is an issue that, over time, the mainstream economics profession came to treat as secondary or even insignificant. For that reason, only a new institutional political economy, one that puts power at the core of our analysis, can help us grasp our condition and point us toward solutions. New technologies created amazing new possibilities for production, but also triggered unemployment, migration, and conflict as new ways of doing things disrupted settled ways of life, making some poor and others rich. The invention of finance made the first capitalist states the most powerful countries in the world, but also introduced the boom-bust cycles that have destabilized modern societies ever since. After charting the entire trajectory of global capitalism through this political-economic prism, Benkler closes with an analysis of our present crisis, in which the system that has governed our lives since the 1970s is collapsing around us. A centuries-spanning tour de force that speaks directly to the present, The Global Origins of Capitalism shows how economic history and political history are really one and the same.

Power, Productivity, and the Evolution of Modern Market Societies

The Global Origins of Capitalism

In a moment of interlocking and compounding crises that many commentators have aptly termed the "polycrisis," a leading economist offers a clear-eyed account of the underlying trends fueling the global instability and market mayhem that have come to characterize contemporary capitalism. 
 
Rampant inequality. Unchecked climate change. A global pandemic. And now, seething international divisions and the escalatory spiral of war and state violence. As the world moves toward the end of the 2020s, each of the pieces of this mosaic are becoming impossible to ignore, but how do they all fit together? And where is it all heading? 
 
To answer these questions, Marxist economist Michael Roberts draws on his forty-plus years of experience working in various financial institutions in the City of London to provide an empirically grounded and wide-ranging appraisal of the global situation. 
 
Roberts takes readers on a tour of the contemporary global economy, first by turning back to the Great Recession of 2008, and then offering a granular look at the economic priorities and contradictions of every region of the world. 
 
What emerges from this accounting of the polycrisis is the inescapable fact that capitalism's rapacious drive toward profit over and against any geopolitical boundaries or ecological limits threatens both humanity and the planet.&nbsp;

Depression, Polycrisis, and the World Economy in the 2020s

Time Is Running Out

Why the career ladder you were climbing has come apart, and what to do about it.Your job title may still be intact. The meetings continue; the monthly presentation still needs producing. But AI is already taking on the reporting, coordination, research and analysis work that once justified whole teams. The change seldom arrives with a dramatic announcement. It's more insidious than that: the hire is paused, the contractor is not renewed, the promotion evaporates.Written by someone building the tools behind this shift, The Next Rung looks at the knowledge-work middle: project leads, analysts, account managers, operations teams and managers whose jobs depend on orchestration. It traces the pressure from boardroom economics to kitchen-table arithmetic, and asks what happens when professional incomes and mortgages are exposed at the same time.Inside, you'll find: <ul> <li> The roles AI is quietly hollowing out </li> <li> Why the 'junior grind' is disappearing </li> <li> The 80/20 Collapse in professional work </li> <li> A practical audit of your exposure and runway </li> <li> The human capabilities that still matter </li> <li> Routes towards trades, portfolio work and community enterprise </li> <li> What AI's gains mean for housing, welfare and inequality. </li> </ul>This is a clear-eyed notebook from inside the transition, focused on judgement, resilience and building work with more human value. It will let you know where you stand, strengthen your options, and help you make your next move before the ladder disappears beneath you.

Why AI is breaking the career ladder, and how to find your next step

The Next Rung

The everyday experiences of racialized employees are the direct and indirect by-products of systemic racism. Racism at Work analyses the interplay between prejudice and discrimination and how discriminatory potentials are embedded silently in the entire employment system, ranging from recruitment and applicant selection to performance evaluations, promotions, and terminations. This book exposes the problems of the status quo by digging deep into existing institutional structures and processes and unearthing how they perpetuate social injustice. Management consultant Bobby Siu insists that legislation, civic administration, human resources policies and procedures, and union and employee responses to racism must be re-directed and re-structured to achieve the complete elimination of racism in employment. This book also recommends concrete political actions, reform in legislation, public policies and education, organizational programs, workplace practices, and enforcement mechanisms to remove system defects and recalibrate them in a new direction. Based on research studies and jurisdictional experiences, the recommendations presented have the power to better the lives of all people in the labour force. A microcosm for the bigotry and hate baked into the fabric of our societies, this book seeks to put an end to racism in workplaces and employment practices in hopes of effecting global political change and social justice.

Racism at Work

Routledge Studies in North American Politics

Speaking to wider debates of U.S. foreign policy and grand strategy, its interests and motivations in International Relations and International Political Economy, and processes of regionalism with regard to political-economic integration. NAFTA-land Security present a clear, important and original argument to all those struggling with how best to understand the overall policy aims that drive U.S. thinking, and how they relate to global trends and developments in U.S. foreign policy.

The award-winning author of The Entrepreneurial State and Mission Economy offers a scathing indictment of a global financial system that incentivizes taking over making and extraction over creation."A stimulating analysis of the underlying causes of inequality and growth which forces us to confront long-held beliefs about how economies work and who benefits." -Martin Wolf, Financial TimesThe Value of Everything is a penetrating and passionate argument that modern capitalism has failed to clearly delineate between value creation and value extraction. As economist Mariana Mazzucato shows, from Silicon Valley to Wall Street and beyond, foggy notions of value create confusion between rents and profits, reward extractors rather than creators, and distort the measurements of growth and GDP. Asset management companies profit exorbitantly off of income generated elsewhere; big pharma uses value-based pricing to justify astronomically high prices for vital medicines that are publicly funded. In the process, innovation suffers and inequality widens. Now updated with a new preface, The Value of Everything reignites the debate over how we measure value in our society-and in so doing, shows how we can shape our economy to be more innovative and inclusive.

Making and Taking in the Global Economy

The Value of Everything

How have the main traditions of political economy understood the notion of economic and political crisis? To answer this question, Peter Burnham returns to the primary writings of the pre-classical, classical and neoclassical traditions to explore how thinkers from the mercantalists to Habermas and Streeck have theorised the concept of crisis and how these theories can be used to interpret crisis in contemporary capitalism. Political Economy and Crisis provides an accessible and comprehensive exposition of the main traditions of political economy and an assessment of their competing approaches to understanding and defining capitalism. It reveals the extent to which crisis can be viewed as beneficial or problematical, exogenous or endogenous, a crisis in capitalism, or a crisis of capitalism. The notion of the "financialization of capital" and the character of the global economy is particularly explored. This book is suitable for introductory courses on the theoretical foundations of political economy and international political economy as well as broader courses on the history of economic thought and the development of the post-Bretton Woods world economy.
