Kholowa J: In the Beginning God Created
them equal

In the Beginning God Created them equal

Wie Deutschland aus seiner mentalen Depression findet | Ein Kompass, um die Herausforderungen der Zukunft aktiv zu gestalten

German Mut

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

Was wir übersehen, wenn wir gegen Rechts kämpfenDie AfD wächst nicht trotz ihrer rückwärtsgewandten Familienpolitik, sondern wegen ihr. Teresa Bücker legt offen, wie extrem rechte Bewegungen über Familien- und Geschlechterthemen in den Mainstream dringen. Denn während das konkrete Engagement für eine gerechte Fürsorgepolitik bei den demokratischen Parteien fehlt, politisiert die AfD die Sorgen von Familien. Bückers Analyse zeigt: Die Mitte verkennt diese Strategie. Um sie zu kontern, muss die Gesellschaft begreifen, dass Familienpolitik kein weiches Thema ist, sondern Herzstück der Demokratie. Das muss allen klar sein, die sich wirksam gegen die rechtsautoritäre Verschiebung stellen wollen.

The Social Optimization of Collective Judgment: A Multiobjective Framework from Consensus to Human-Machine Collaboration presents a unified treatment of expert judgment aggregation under uncertainty. The book demonstrates how a broad family of optimization-based aggregation methods can be understood within a single framework built on simplex-constrained quantile averaging. It develops aggregation models that progressively incorporate consensus, fairness, social welfare, altruism, reproducibility, scalability, and human-machine collaboration, providing both theoretical foundations and practical implementation guidance. The book begins with the foundations of classical pooling and optimization-driven aggregation before developing socially grounded aggregation methods that incorporate fairness, welfare, and altruistic objectives. It then addresses scalable and reproducible optimization techniques, including hierarchical aggregation and convex reformulations. A dedicated chapter examines the integration of large language models as virtual experts within auditable decision processes. Five worked case studies apply the framework to building information modeling and digital twin maturity assessment, digital transformation barriers, rail transit accessibility, and human-machine forecasting, followed by a discussion of challenges, open problems, and future research directions. The book will be valuable to researchers and graduate students in decision analysis, operations research, group decision-making, computational intelligence, forecasting, and social choice; data scientists and machine learning researchers working on calibration and ensemble methods; policy analysts, public administration specialists, engineers, economists, finance professionals, transportation researchers, and public health analysts who require transparent and reproducible approaches to combining expert judgments under uncertainty.

A Multiobjective Framework from Consensus to Human-Machine Collaboration

The Social Optimization of Collective Judgment

Introduces a data-driven framework for measuring governance through a fourteen-component Macro-Governance Index, demonstrating its strong predictive power for national development outcomes and offering practical tools to diagnose governance gaps and guide policy interventions.
Every year, governments borrow trillions, spend billions on development programs, and publish volumes of economic statistics-yet no widely accepted framework exists for answering a deceptively simple question: is governance actually working? Traditional approaches rely on subjective expert assessments or narrowly focused indices that measure inputs rather than outcomes. Macro-Governance Theory proposes that governance can be measured with the same empirical rigor we bring to medicine, engineering, and economics-and that doing so is essential if citizens and policymakers are to hold institutions accountable for results. 

Drawing on 26 years of publicly available data across 170 countries, the book constructs the Macro-Governance Index (MGI)-a fourteen-component composite spanning infrastructure, connectivity, financial inclusion, human capital, security, institutional quality, and economic integration. The MGI correlates with the UN Human Development Index at r = 0.97, and this relationship is not driven by income alone: controlling for GNI, the framework retains substantial independent predictive power, confirming that governance infrastructure-not just wealth-determines whether nations deliver well-being to their citizens. 

The book reveals patterns that conventional measures miss. Novel metrics for credit access and household-level financial reach show that the effective economic gap between the Global North and Sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 70× rather than the 53× that standard income comparisons suggest-a hidden disparity with profound implications for development policy. A governance simulation framework models how investments in one dimension cascade through others, enabling policymakers to identify the highest-leverage interventions for their country's specific development stage. 

Seven detailed case studies-Singapore, Rwanda, Estonia, Botswana, Chile, Costa Rica, and Lebanon-demonstrate how the framework diagnoses governance strengths and weaknesses in practice. An analysis of the ten fastest-rising nations reveals that while successful governance strategies differ radically across political systems, they share common patterns in infrastructure sequencing and institutional development that the MGI captures and quantifies. 

Designed for dual utility, the book serves as an analytical framework for researchers and policymakers and as an accessible assessment tool for citizens through the companion website grademygovernment.com. A full reproducibility dataset covering all 170 countries across seven benchmark years is included, making this not just an argument for governance science but its working prototype.

Willkommen in Utopia! – die kuriose neue Welt der Tech-Milliardäre

This book invites a reorientation of tourism towards accountability, restorative practices and social impact This book examines the dominant profit-driven paradigms that have traditionally underpinned tourism development. By bridging theory and practice, this book challenges conventional industry perspectives and advocates for a more sustainable and socially conscious approach to tourism development. It invites readers to question long-held assumptions, confront uncomfortable truths and engage with emergent ideas and practices that are pushing the boundaries of what socially responsible tourism can and should be. Through insightful case studies and empirical research, this book equips readers to rethink the social impact of tourism and demonstrates that profitability and accountability are not contradictory objectives but mutually reinforcing dimensions of resilient and regenerative tourism systems.

Beyond Profits

Rethinking Social Impact and Accountability in Tourism

This book reframes the question of how Africa industrializes, and is the first to address a key challenge facing African economies today: achieving structural transformation alongside decarbonization, i.e. industrializing and greening simultaneously, rather than sequentially as earlier developers did. 

Drawing on primary fieldwork across five national economies - Ethiopia, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa - and six strategic sectors, accounting for 40% of Africa's GDP and a third of its population, Arkebe Oqubay advances the concept of Green Productive Transformation, in which structural economic change and decarbonization are treated as mutually constitutive imperatives rather than competing objectives. The comparative evidence demonstrates that where government policy, industrial hubs, and firm capabilities are strategically aligned, productive transformation and green transformation reinforce each other; where they are not, industrial growth follows the path of least environmental resistance, producing carbon lock-in. 

Just transition and energy transition frameworks are designed primarily with industrialized economies in mind. This book challenges the utility of these frameworks for Africa, and instead advances a domestically-driven alternative, grounded in structural transformation theory, green industrial policy, and the political economy of late development. No single green pathway exists for Africa: the evidence presented here reveals conditional pathways shaped by national context, sectoral configuration, and policy choice. A green, productive Africa is not an inevitable outcome of global technological change, but it is genuinely within reach, and the first step is getting the analysis right.

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.
