The Wealth of Nations

A comprehensive look at causality’s theoretical and practical aspects in economics and finance. In Causal Modeling for Finance and Business, Frank Fabozzi and Sergio Focardi offer a foundation for understanding causal relationships and their importance in complex systems. Topics include the theory of graphs, probabilistic frameworks, structural causal models, algorithms for learning causal structures, and the empirical testing of these models. The book emphasizes applying and deploying causal models in real-world business and investment scenarios. However, it also offers a novel theoretical perspective on causal modeling. Fabozzi and Focardi argue that causation is not a law of nature, but a characteristic of causal systems. If we accept the modern idea of causation as manipulability, causal systems are characterized by causal relationships as well as purely descriptive functional relationships. With these arguments in mind, the book addresses a critical gap in understanding and applying causal reasoning in complex systems. While correlations have often been relied upon in data analysis, decision-making in business and economics demands a deeper understanding of causation and functional relationships to drive actionable outcomes. The book’s objective is to provide a comprehensive resource that bridges foundational theories and practical applications of causal models. By integrating recent advancements in artificial intelligence, probabilistic logic, and graph theory, the authors offer a robust framework for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to harness the power of causality in solving intricate problems.

Causal Modeling for Finance and Business

Con empatía, humor y estrategias prácticas, Sofía Macías te ayuda a construir estabilidad y resiliencia financiera para que, incluso cuando la vida te revuelca, mantengas el rumbo hacia el futuro que sueñas. Crecer no es la trampa. Crecer sin herramientas sí lo es. Aquí tienes las tuyas. Acéptalo: los días en los que la fiesta duraba todo el fin de semana y el lunes trabajabas fresco como lechuga quedaron atrás. Ahora la conversación gira en torno a hipotecas, seguros, colesterol y quién paga qué. Bienvenido a los “tas”. No crezcas, es una trampa… o al menos eso parece. Porque la vida adulta no viene con instructivo. Y cuando tus papás empiezan a envejecer o a enfermar —esos superhéroes a los que siempre acudías— y de pronto te toca decidir por ellos, hacer trámites, pagar tratamientos y ordenar cuentas, entiendes que el dinero ya no es solo para viajes o gustos: es una herramienta para cuidar y cuidarte. Esa experiencia marcó a Sofía Macías e inspiró esta guía de supervivencia financiera. En Finanzas para la vida adulta aprenderás a protegerte sin descarrilar tus finanzas, a cuidar tu salud mental, física y cerebral sin que te cueste un ojo de la cara, a quitarle lo imposible a la compra de casa, a invertir en bienes raíces con poco dinero y a hablar de dinero con tu pareja o familia sin dinamitar la relación. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION With empathy, humor, and practical strategies, Sofía Macías helps you build financial stability and resilience so that—even when life knocks you around—you can stay on track toward the future you dream of. Growing up isn’t the trap. Growing up without the right tools is. Here are yours. Let’s face it: the days when the party lasted all weekend and you showed up to work on Monday feeling fresh as a daisy are long gone. Now the conversation revolves around mortgages, insurance, cholesterol, and who’s paying for what. Welcome to the world of “adulting.” Don’t grow up—it’s a trap… or at least it feels that way. Because adulthood doesn’t come with an instruction manual. And when your parents start to age or fall ill—those superheroes you always relied on—and suddenly it’s up to you to make decisions for them, handle paperwork, pay for treatments, and get their finances in order, you realize that money isn’t just for travel or treats anymore: it’s a tool for caring for them and for yourself. That experience shaped Sofía Macías and inspired this financial survival guide. In Finances for Adult Life, you’ll learn how to protect yourself without derailing your finances; how to care for your mental, physical, and cognitive health without spending a fortune; how to make buying a home feel achievable; how to invest in real estate with limited funds; and how to talk about money with your partner or family without blowing up the relationship.

El líder estoico / The Stoic Leader: Ancient Lessons to Succeed in Business

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!

The New Science of Collective Intelligence

Goodthink

** 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.

“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

This powerful guide draws on strategies from Black resistance movements and merges historical wisdom with modern technology to combat the DEI backlash and build sustainable workplace equity in today’s hostile climate. As the unprecedented backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion intensifies—with corporations dismantling initiatives, lawmakers passing anti-DEI legislation, and post–George Floyd promises abandoned—this tactical handbook arms advocates with revolutionary resistance strategies drawn from Black historical movements. Dr. Janice Gassam Asare transforms centuries of Black resistance wisdom—from Underground Railroad networks to civil rights organizing tactics—into modern resistance plans, wielding ethical AI as a force multiplier to create sustainable change that outlasts corporate whims and political cycles. Each chapter grounds modern workplace tactics in revolutionary approaches of more than twenty prominent Black historical figures, including the following: <ul><li>Ida B. Wells—Documentation techniques for workplace injustice inspired by her work</li><li>Ella Baker and Fred Hampton—Coalition-building methods from the American civil rights movement</li><li>Toni Morrison and Angela Davis—Narrative control strategies drawn from their celebrated writing</li></ul> Whether you’re a DEI practitioner navigating corporate pushback, an employee experiencing equity rollbacks, or a leader committed to sustainable inclusion, this handbook provides battle-tested strategies for preserving workplace equity—even in hostile environments. This isn’t just about surviving the backlash. It’s about reimagining workplaces where everyone thrives.

Can You Run the Economy?

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.
