Handbook of Political Economy

Handbook of Political Economy: Volume 1

The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series

The Bear and Philosophy

In 1977, The Economist coined the term "Dutch disease" to describe the damage to the real economy when wealth derives from resource exports rather than productive work. On April 1, 1978, the Second Amendment to the IMF's Articles of Agreement came into force, ending gold's monetary role within the IMF system and consolidating the transition to pure fiat money. With "money" no longer backed by anything real, the alchemists' dream of a "Philosopher's Stone"--the ability to create seemingly limitless wealth out of nothing--appeared to have been realized. But while real wealth produced by human labor is finite, fiat money creation is not subject to the same physical constraint. The result was a new and far more powerful variant of Dutch disease: the Philosopher's Stone Disease. The Money Powers' financialization of economies and imposition of neoliberalism increasingly privileged finance over production. Over the next four decades, the consequences extended beyond economics, eroding the cultural and civilizational heritage and traditions of large swaths of the global population. The socioeconomic impact of this pure fiat-money regime, globally and within the United States, has been an across-the-board deterioration, while its benefits accrued overwhelmingly to less than 0.01 percent of the population. Yet creating money cannot create the real goods it commands. The system therefore depends upon a steady external supply of real goods and the recycling of part of the resulting surpluses into U.S. financial assets. Energy revenues from West Asia have been key to sustaining it. A resurgent Iran thus posed an existential threat to the UK-established and U.S.-dominated oil order. Sanctions, assassinations, proxy wars, color revolutions, terrorist attacks and mass psychological manipulation followed, but failed to achieve their objective. If Iran emerges victorious from the war launched against it in 2026 and breaks U.S. control over the oil-rich Levant, the petrodollar recycling system will suffer a massive blow, accelerating withdrawal from U.S. Treasuries. The dilemma is stark: financial dominance ultimately requires real power to enforce it, while the Philosopher's Stone Disease has hollowed out the productive and military foundations of that power. Why the West Can't Recover: The Philosopher's Stone Disease explains why there may be no way back.

The Philosopoher's Stone Disease

Why the West Can't Recover

An innovative approach for understanding how law matters in contemporary social movements that rise to meet the twin challenges of American democracy: promoting liberal values of equality and inclusion, while fortifying the rule of law itself. Fifty years after the Civil Rights Movement, America confronts a new democratic reckoning. What role do-and should-lawyers play in strengthening collective action at this pivotal moment? In Lawyers and Movements, Scott L. Cummings offers an innovative answer to this age-old question, breaking from the legacy of legal liberalism to reveal the essential, yet underappreciated, work of lawyers in social struggle-redefining legal mobilization in transformative times. Building from a sweeping analysis of progressive legal theory and practice, Cummings challenges foundational critiques of lawyers as inaccurate and ill-suited to the current context. In response, he advances a new theory of legal mobilization in which control over law is at the heart of movements rising to meet the twin challenges of contemporary liberalism: promoting inclusion and equity, while fortifying democratic institutions. A call to radically rethink how lawyers contribute to progressive change, Lawyers and Movements asserts a timely challenge to democracy in crisis.

Legal Mobilization in Transformative Times

Lawyers and Movements

From the bestselling author of Do Hard Things and Win the Inside Game comes a guide to showing up in the moments that demand your best and shape who you become. We’ve all been there. The nerves, pressure, doubts, and that voice in our head screaming “what if I’m not good enough?” Once we enter the arena, everything changes, and none of us are immune. Even an Olympic champion muttered on the starting line, "What the hell am I doing here?" Yet, we fundamentally misunderstand pressure and how to rise to the occasion. It’s time to redefine what it means to step up and compete. We’ve been sold a one-dimensional picture of the competitor: fearless, ruthless, dominant, the alpha dog. But fear and doubt aren’t a sign of weakness. They’re the price of admission. Drawing on new science and an original survey of over 2,000 high performers across sport, business, and the arts, Magness shows us that the best aren't defined by fearlessness or fire. They're defined by range: the ability to summon the right state at the right moment. They’re able to be fierce without becoming reckless, focused without becoming rigid, and driven without losing the people beside them. Step Into the Arena is about more than just performing. The arena isn’t just a stadium or a stage. It’s the blank page, the difficult conversation, and every moment when we care deeply, the outcome is uncertain, and failure stings. In a world of curated feeds and sideline critics, the arena is one of the last places of unfiltered truth. It’s where we stop hiding, risk failure for something worthy, and find out what we're made of. It asks something larger of us: What are we striving for? How will we strive? And who will we become in the process? For everyone who has ever known exactly what they were capable of, and watched the moment take it away, it's time to take it back. Step into the arena. It's where you'll find out who you are.

The World Economic Forum and COVID-19

Modern Studies in European Law

This book examines the structural tensions at the heart of European economic governance and their impact on European democracy. It argues that lasting legitimacy and stability require a fundamental rethinking of how collective resources are raised and managed at supranational level and how Member States are accounted for fiscal discipline. The separation of monetary authority and economic decision-making, entrenched since the Maastricht Treaty, has generated a system marked by competence asymmetry, mutual economic and financial dependence of both the EU and Member States, constrained national policy space, and indirect democratic control. Drawing on law, economics, and political science, the book develops a comparative institutional analysis of how political, market, and judicial processes have shaped responses to financial crises, sovereign distress, pandemic and geopolitical-era interventions. It shows how the growing reliance on top-down rules, provision of financial assistance, and judicial restraint has altered relationships between institutions, governments, and individuals, with significant consequences for legitimacy and accountability. Rather than defending incremental adjustment, the book advances a normative and institutional alternative. It proposes a framework in which collective decision-making is supported by transparent financial contribution by individuals, and where responsibility for economic choices is matched by meaningful consequences at different levels of governance. Central to this vision is a rebalancing between shared fiscal capacity and decentralised responsibility, primarily by market-based mechanisms to address sovereign distress. By linking goal selection to institutional choice, the book offers a coherent roadmap for reform that prioritises ongoing involvement of EU citizens, more effective Member State fiscal accountability, and mutual independence. It will be of particular interest to scholars of public law, economic governance, and constitutional change, as well as policymakers seeking sustainable models for managing complex, multi-level political systems.
