Adam Smith

The Wealth of Nations

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.

The Art of Monetary Policy

Der Ökonom Daniel Stährlegt eine fundierte Kritik an der Übermachtseiner eigenen Disziplin und deren Einfluss auf die Politik und unser Zusammenleben vor.Ökonomen und Ökonominnen sitzen im Zentrum der Macht, beraten Regierungen und Unternehmen, lenken die Geschicke von Staaten und Institutionen. Ihr gigantischer Einfluss erstreckt sich von der Politik bis in unsere Privatsphäre, sie bestimmen die Höhe unseres Lohns und unser Match auf der Dating App. Ob in der Klimakatastrophe oder der Pandemie: Weltweit legen wir unser Vertrauen in eine faktenfreie Wissenschaft, die kein Konzept von Moral oder Gerechtigkeit kennt - und das kostet Menschenleben. Daniel Stähr legt eine überfällige Intervention aus den eigenen Reihen vor, die zeigt: Es könnte auch ganz anders sein.'Differenziert und souverän erzählt Daniel Stähr von der Übermacht der Ökonomen. Sorgfältig legt er Ideologien frei, wo absolute Objektivitätsansprüche wuchern, und führt uns nebenher äußerst unterhaltsam durch die Geschichte der Wirtschaftswissenschaften.' Theresia Enzensberger

“Mind-expanding . . . The Score is so exuberant and readable that the depth and seriousness of its insights almost sneak up on you.” —Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times “Brilliant and wildly original . . . The Score is socially attentive, historically literate and imbued with sensual glee.” —Becca Rothfeld, The Washington Post “I give this excellent book five stars.” —Stuart Jeffries, Financial Times A philosophy of games to help us win back control over what we value The philosopher C. Thi Nguyen—one of the leading experts on the philosophy of games and the philosophy of data—takes us deep into the heart of games, and into the depths of bureaucracy, to see how scoring systems shape our desires. Games are the most important art form of our era. They embody the spirit of free play. They show us the subtle beauty of action everywhere in life in video games, sports, and boardgames—but also cooking, gardening, fly-fishing, and running. They remind us that it isn’t always about outcomes, but about how glorious it feels to be doing the thing. And the scoring systems help get us there, by giving us new goals to try on. Scoring systems are also at the center of our corporations and bureaucracies—in the form of metrics and rankings. They tell us exactly how to measure our success. They encourage us to outsource our values to an external authority. And they push on us to value simple, countable things. Metrics don’t capture what really matters; they only capture what’s easy to measure. The price of that clarity is our independence. The Score asks us is this the game you really want to be playing?

The Score

'One of the most original and important books on Africa in years' FINANCIAL TIMES'A compelling case for the continent's potential' Bill GatesThe birth of new nations, independent democracies, the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo; the African continent is booming. So why do myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land and overpopulation remain?In a groundbreaking new study of Africa's developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views about the continent's presumed resistance to growth, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management. Considering everything from settler colonialism to soil conditions, mineral extractivism to disease development and eradication, Studwell persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people and states across Africa, has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world's second largest continent - and an optimistic look to its future.

** A Financial Times Best Summer Book of 2025** A sweeping history of capitalism as seen through the eyes of its fiercest critics At a time when we are faced with fundamental questions about the sustainability and morality of the economic system, Capitalism and Its Critics provides a kaleidoscopic history of global capitalism, from colonialism and the Industrial Revolution to the ecological crisis and artificial intelligence. John Cassidy adopts a bold new approach: he tells the story through the eyes of the system's critics. From eighteenth-century weavers who rebelled against early factory automation to Eric Williams's paradigm-changing work on slavery and capitalism, to the Latin American dependistas, the international Wages for Housework campaign of the 1970s, and the modern degrowth movement, this absorbing narrative traverses the globe. It looks at familiar figures - Smith, Marx, Luxemburg, Keynes, Polanyi - from a fresh perspective, but also focuses on many less familiar, including William Thompson, the Irish proto-socialist whose work influenced Marx; Flora Tristan, the French proponent of a universal labour union; John Hobson, the original theorist of imperialism; and J. C. Kumarappa, the Indian exponent of Gandhian economics. Blending biography, panoramic history, and lively exploration of economic theories, Capitalism and Its Critics illuminates the deep roots of many of the most urgent issues of our time.

Bestselling author and transformational speaker Ryan Leak shares research-based strategies for working with even the most challenging people to create more collaborative and productive teams. Who is the most complicated person you work with? You probably don’t have to think very hard to answer that question. You already know their name, their job title, their quirks, and their flaws. You have firsthand experience with the mental and emotional fallout they leave in their wake. You’ve seen the problems their complexity creates for everyone on their team. You wish you could fix them, solve them, ignore them, or teleport them to a parallel dimension. But you can’t. You have to work with them. (You could quit, but your next job will have a complicated person waiting for you.) That means you need effective strategies to collaborate with (nearly) anyone. Especially the picky, prickly, problematic ones. Drawing from his global consulting experience with teams and leaders from the glitz of sports and entertainment, to the number-crunching world of finance, to the meticulous realms of insurance, pharma, and manufacturing, Ryan Leak provides proven strategies for…<ul><li>Seeing challenging individuals as human beings to understand rather than problems to solve</li><li>Detoxing unrealistic expectations and getting comfortable with complicated</li><li>Learning to communicate effectively in complex environments</li><li>Embracing healthy disagreement as a tool to discover better solutions</li><li>Setting boundaries that let people into your world without letting them run your world</li></ul> “The process of learning to collaborate with difficult individuals is transformative—it’s a gateway to greater creativity, stronger teams, and increased productivity,” Leak explains. “On the other side of complicated is the wonderful, wide-open world of effective collaboration and a workplace you love.”

Cómo trabajar con gente complicada / How to Work With Complicated People: Strategies For Effective Collaboration With (Nearly) Anyone

“A tale of rapacious colonialism, Cold War spy games, dazzling technical innovation, big business rivalry, big power geopolitics . . . Niarchos has produced an unflinching, landmark work on the nature of extractive capitalism.” —Patrick Radden Keefe, New York Times best-selling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals—essential for the decarbonization of our economies—and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global “energy transition”—the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world’s economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs. In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia’s seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress? With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.

The Best Decisions You'll Ever Make

Busting the myth of “groupthink,” a powerful look at how our ability to influence one another can accelerate individual and collective intelligence. A leading expert on social networks and behavior change delivers new principles of social influence to improve collective intelligence. For years, scientists have struggled to discover the formula to produce the world’s smartest teams. But the solution has been elusive&nbsp;because they have focused on individual intelligences. In Goodthink, Damon Centola shows how to build teams, design online platforms, and create office spaces that sharpen our thinking individually and align our intelligence collectively. The secret, it turns out, is in the shape of our networks. How did MIT’s Building 20, populated with outcasts and eccentrics, become one of the most innovative and productive research hubs in American history? Why did increasing the number of online echo chambers unexpectedly reduce political polarization? How can popular “herding behavior” make crowds more intelligent? This book has the answers. Taking us behind the scenes of the most successful systems of collective intelligence in the modern world, it introduces a new science of what it means to be smart. Every day, each of us faces four critical decision-making challenges: choosing, coordination, cooperation, and creativity. Goodthink describes the tell-tale signs of when effective structures are at work, enabling us to “read the room” and begin to shift the dynamics at play. It also reveals how to know when things are failing and what to do to fix them. Delivering path-breaking insights currently at work within Fortune 500 companies, global philanthropic organizations, and government agencies, the book reveals underlying dynamics of group intelligence that have gone overlooked. Showing us how these principles work to make us feel more confident, more connected, and more engaged, Goodthink leaves us feeling smarter—because we are!
