There is a conspicuous void of analyses about the economic and policy analysis of heart disease research funding in the United States and in other countries. This book discusses the economic and policy dimensions of heart disease research—the leading cause of death in the United States and globally—and it provides a comprehensive overview of the contributions of the primary US funding agency for heart disease research, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) within the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). It offers policymakers metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the US Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program—a key funding program within NHLBI. It includes information focused on health policy, reauthorizations of the NHLBI’s programs, and more. The resulting book provides a useful structure to help decision makers understand the use and allocation of resources that support health research.

The Economics of Heart Disease Research

Strategic lessons for monetary policy from the last two tumultuous decades based on insights from Sun Tzu, the Chinese philosopher and author of The Art of War. When central banks were forced to innovate and develop a multifaceted set of new weapons in response to the 2008 global financial crisis and 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the result was a substantial expansion in their authority and reach. In The Art of Monetary Policy, Kristin Forbes draws lessons for monetary policy of the last two decades from the principles of Sun Tzu, the author of The Art of War, a Chinese philosopher and military strategist from the fifth century BC. Tzu proposed several key principles for success—tenets that apply to monetary policy and the battlefield today: (1) plan in advance for the next battle; (2) accept and adapt to the inevitability of powerful, external shocks outside your control; (3) establish a strong tactical position; (4) develop a variety of weapons that can be combined for different maneuvers and situations; (5) maintain flexibility so that you can quickly modify your strategy; and (6) consider the longer-term costs when evaluating the trade-offs of different approaches. These principles provide insights into what central banks did (and did not) do well over the last two decades, as well as how they should deploy interest rates, balance sheets, emergency support programs, forward guidance, and macroprudential tools in the future. While the optimal strategy in both war and monetary policy is more of an “art” than a science, adopting these principles can improve our ability to battle the next crisis and build more resilient economies during peaceful periods.

Sustainable Finance

This book discusses the transformative role of green financing in steering the transition towards low-carbon economies. Specifically focusing on small enterprises in emerging and developing countries, the book unveils the peculiar green financing challenges synonymous with underdeveloped financial systems. Furthermore, it uncovers the essential contributions these entities can make towards sustainable development and innovative financing strategies amidst conventional barriers in accessing traditional financing schemes.
Through a comprehensive examination of innovative financial instruments and mechanisms, such as green bonds and loans, this publication illustrates the pathways through which green financing can provide vital capital and encourage sustainable practices. While highlighting the critical role of green finance in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, this book explores the complex and uneven landscape of green financing, addressing methodological challenges such as defining green projects, lack of data, and measuring environmental impact. It calls for international cooperation in mobilizing funds, sharing knowledge, and building capacities to overcome these challenges and develop a sustainable green financing framework. Drawing knowledge from successful case studies, technological advancements in finance, and supportive policies and regulations, the book contributes to innovative financial models. It builds a robust knowledge base to inform decision-making and guide the global community towards a sustainable and resilient future. This book is an indispensable resource for policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, and academics.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE • WINNER OF THE 2025&nbsp;ZÓCALO&nbsp;BOOK PRIZE A humanitarian leader with more than two decades of experience working for the United Nations takes aim at the global food crisis—revealing how hunger anywhere affects lives everywhere and what steps we can take to change course. "This book should be required reading for the entire human race." —Jonathan Safran Foer, author of We Are the Weather At the turn of the twenty-first century, more than 150 countries pledged to eradicate hunger by 2030. But with only a few years left, we’re far from reaching that goal. Instead, hunger is on the rise—America itself recently experienced levels of food insecurity not seen since the Great Depression. How could the richest nation in the world have so many people going hungry? In The New Breadline, aid worker and activist Jean-Martin Bauer unravels this paradox. Bauer’s family fled to America during the terrors of the Duvalier dictatorship in Haiti. Now on the brink of mass starvation, Haiti and its grim history inspired Bauer to make food justice his life's work. During his long career with the UN, Bauer learned firsthand that the problem of hunger is always political—and like all political conditions, hunger, he knew, was something we could work to change. Drawing from his fieldwork in the most hunger-prone countries across the globe—from Haiti, where elites hoard imported French cheese, to Madagascar, where foreign corporations are snatching up valuable land from local farmers, to right here in America, where the lines at food banks continue to grow—Bauer weaves profound personal insight with a keen understanding of the structural systems of racism, classism, and sexism that thwart true progress in the battle against hunger. The New Breadline is an inspiring call to action to end what he persuasively argues is one of the greatest threats to our society, boldly envisioning a world where we can always feed ourselves and one another.

Understanding China

This book sorts out the causes, consequences and the evolution path of China's economic reform process from the historical dimension of China's economic policy changes, from which the long-standing contradictions and conflicts between the two different models can be seen throughout the process, i.e. the market economy and the state-dominated economy (e.g., Lenin's 'special state capitalism') as well as the potential risks that will be brought by the pause of market and law reform on China's economic and social development. The dispute on the paths exists and will continue, which builds the great complexity and arduousness since China's Reform and Opening-up. This book is written by Chinese economist Jinglian Wu, which helps readers to understand the history and logic behind China's reform and opening-up, as well as the challenges China is facing.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Deftly written, Chokepoints is a compelling and dramatic narrative about the new shape of geopolitics." — Daniel Yergin, The Wall Street Journal "A timely, riveting world tour...[An] absorbing book." — The Economist “Remarkable...One of the most important books on economic warfare ever written.” —&nbsp;Paul Kennedy, author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers The epic story of how America turned the world economy into a weapon, upending decades of globalization to take on a new authoritarian axis—Russia, China, and Iran. It used to be that ravaging another country’s economy required blockading its ports and laying siege to its cities. Now all it takes is a statement posted online by the U.S. government. In Chokepoints, Edward Fishman, a former top State Department sanctions official, takes us deep into the back rooms of power to reveal the untold history of the last two decades of U.S. foreign policy, in which America renounced the gospel of globalization and waged a new kind of economic war. As Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Ayatollah Khamenei wreaked havoc on the world stage, mavericks within the U.S. government built a fearsome new arsenal of economic weapons, exploiting America’s dominance in global finance and technology. Successive U.S. presidents have relied on these unconventional weapons to address the most pressing national-security threats, for good and for ill. Chokepoints provides a thrilling account of one of the most critical geopolitical developments of our time, demystifying the complex strategies the U.S. government uses to harness the power of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Big Oil against America’s enemies. At the center of the narrative is an eclectic group of policy innovators: the diplomats, lawyers, and financial whizzes who’ve masterminded America’s escalating economic wars against Russia, China, and Iran. Economic warfare has become the primary way the United States confronts international crises and counters rivals. Sometimes it has achieved spectacular success; other times, bitter failure. The result we live with today is a new world order: an economic arms race among great powers and a fracturing global economy. Chokepoints is the definitive account of how America pioneered this new, hard-hitting style of economic war—and how it’s changing the world.

“A well-written interesting read, this book analyzes the actions of central banks amid the subprime crisis. It is a must read for those interested in economic policy, economic and financial history, and central banks.”–
 Sonali Garg
 , Assistant Professor, New Delhi Institute of Management and author of 
 The Telegraph and Stock ExchangesThis book explores the evolving role of the credit channel in contemporary macroeconomic policy and financial stability. In ten analytical chapters, Cristina Pecuiti examines the dual function of the credit channel—as both a conduit for monetary policy transmission and a macroeconomic stabilizer—within the broader context of capitalist economies.Grounded in both theoretical inquiry and empirical investigation, the volume first establishes the conceptual foundations of the credit channel, drawing on influential contributions from leading economists. Pecuiti systematically demonstrates the channel’s critical role in amplifying or mitigating the effects of monetary interventions, thereby shaping macroeconomic outcomes.A central focus of the book is the empirical analysis of the credit channel’s performance during the European subprime crisis. Pairing case studies with policy evaluations, Pecuiti assesses the measures adopted by EU Member States to preserve credit flows and support economic recovery. This analysis not only underscores the operational significance of the credit channel during periods of financial distress but also highlights its potential as a strategic policy instrument.The concluding chapters advocate for a structural rethinking of capitalism’s financial architecture, emphasizing the need for central banks to integrate the credit channel more explicitly into their policy frameworks. By doing so, the book argues that monetary authorities can foster conditions conducive to sustainable growth, price stability, and crisis prevention.The resulting book contextualizes modern economic governance and highlights the transformative potential of credit channels.&nbsp;Cristina Peicuti
 is a professor and the scientific director of a research chair at the École Supérieure de Commerce de Paris (ESCP BS). Peicuti is the author of several books, including&nbsp;
