An urgent rethinking of the Western approach to mental health, which treats the symptoms rather than the exploitative systems causing our distress—by a Rhodes Scholar and Harvard Medical School physician-anthropologist—offering lessons from the rest of the world. What if the mainstay of mental health care involved cancelling onerous debt, giving poor people free housing, and paying reparations to the descendants of slavery and colonialism? In Empire of Madness, Dr. Khameer Kidia re-evaluates the Western approach to mental health, which medicates symptoms instead of changing the structures that harm the human psyche. A physician and researcher whose own family suffers from the psychological effects of colonialism, Kidia highlights the limitations of the Western mental health model by reporting from the front lines of mental health crises at home, in the clinic, and during a decade of fieldwork. Clear-eyed and openhearted, Kidia asks the nuanced questions unaddressed by our current mental health model: How do history, culture, and politics shape mental distress? Are hoarding and burnout medical diagnoses or social problems? Why are schizophrenia outcomes sometimes better in poor countries without antipsychotics? Can a traditional healer treat mental illness better than a Western-trained clinician? For those living in poverty, can cash replace pills? With rigorous research, cutting analysis, and illuminating prose, Kidia invites us to reimagine mental health as a global idea where our wellbeing is mutual and everyone’s voice—patients, caregivers, and healthcare workers alike—matters.

Welche gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen hatte die Covid-19-Pandemie? Die Beiträger*innen aus Gesundheits-, Politik- und Medienwissenschaft sowie Soziologie und Pädagogik betrachten die Ausnahmesituation aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive und zeichnen ein facettenreiches Bild. Covid-19 erweist sich dabei nicht nur als Katalysator bestehender Krisendynamiken, sondern auch als Beleg für die Multidimensionalität gesellschaftlicher Krisen. Besonders im Fokus steht die krisenhafte Nähe heterogener Gesellschaftsbereiche, die einen fundierten Einblick in die Transversalität und Interdependenz zeitgenössischer Krisen zulässt - auch über den akademischen Tellerrand hinaus.

This fourth title in this innovative series establishes connections between jurisdictions which would not conventionally 'speak' to one another, on topics which would not otherwise have been discussed. Over four parts, it looks at questions of: trusts actors; trusts applications; trusts environments; and trusts futures. Chapters are co-written by two (or more) authors, to give a novel perspective on comparative trusts law. This approach allows for a rigorous, systematic exploration of the varied ways in which trusts law manifests across the Asia-Pacific region. An expert and welcome new addition to this leading book series in comparative private law.

Das Buch behandelt das umfangreiche Gebiet der Medizin in einigen Schwerpunktthemen und weist auf ökonomische Zusammenhänge zu diesen Themen hin.&nbsp;Die Notwendigkeit, medizinische mit ökonomischer Forschung und Lehre zu verknüpfen, wird nicht mehr in Frage gestellt, da die Kosten im Gesundheitswesen ausufern. Ein aktuelles Beispiel für überproportional steigende Kosten im Gesundheitswesen sind die Ausgaben für Medikamente, die stärker zunehmen als das Bruttoinlandsprodukt (BIP). Die Kostendiskussion muss daher weiter auf allen Ebenen des Gesundheitswesens vom niedergelassenen Arzt bis zum Krankenhaus, von der pharmazeutischen Industrie bis zu den Spitzenverbänden der Selbstverwaltung geführt werden, da die wirtschaftlichen Konsequenzen einer rationalen medizinischen Versorgung analysiert, kritisch diskutiert, bewertet und transparent dargestellt werden müssen.&nbsp;Es fehlt bisher ein Basislehrbuch der Medizin für Ökonomen, also ein Buch, das medizinische Inhalte auf das für Gesundheitsökonomen relevante Maß begrenzt und dabei versucht, medizinische Maßnahmen im Zusammenhang mit Kostenbewertungen zu veranschaulichen.&nbsp;Das wesentliche Anliegen des vorliegenden Buches ist daher die Verbindung ärztlichen Denkens und Handelns mit ökonomischen Überlegungen, da der Dialog zwischen Ökonomen und Mediziner nur auf der Basis gemeinsamen Wissens effizient geführt werden kann.

Medizin für Ökonomen

An authoritative and cutting-edge exploration of how land, transportation, and economic forces shape cities, regions, and the distribution of economic activities from a local to a global scale. Land, by its very nature, is immobile and unproduced, creating competition for prime locations that drives disparities in economic outcomes. Transportation, meanwhile, serves as the mechanism for overcoming spatial frictions but imposes costs that influence where firms and individuals choose to locate. Together, these factors explain the emergence and persistence of cities, regional disparities, and even global patterns of economic concentration. In Spatial Economics, Hans R.A. Koster, Stef Proost, and Jacques-François Thisse explore how cities, regions, and the global economy are shaped by the interplay between location, land use, and transportation. The authors examine why economic activities are clustered in large metropolitan areas and dispersed in vast areas, driven by the balance between the gains from concentration and various congestion and pollution costs. Blending classical theories with modern data and modeling approaches, the book addresses urbanization, spatial inequality, and the effects of policies like infrastructure investments and land regulations. Accessible yet rigorous, it offers valuable insights for understanding the geographic organization of economic activity in today's interconnected world.

In a new country, living with a husband she barely knows—and who she fears she’ll never love—Mira is desperate to discover all that her new life in England might offer.And then there’s Tahliil.

The Second Republic is a comprehensive institutional blueprint for India's transition into a developed economy (Viksit Bharat) by 2047. In this book, Ghani, a former World Bank economist and a prominent voice in Indian developmental economics, moves beyond traditional policy debates to focus on the State capacity engine, with his most compelling diagnostic being the two-engine trap. Since the 1991 reforms, India has developed a high-performance private sector engine; however, this is tethered to an obsolete state engine, characterized by nineteenth-century colonial structures and twentieth-century socialist bureaucracy. To address this, India not only needs new laws but a 'Second Republic', a fundamental re-architecting of the state's core institutions to match the dynamism of its people. 

The book introduces the 4F architecture--functions, finances, functionaries, and foundations--as the integrated mechanism for national renewal, analysing why previous reforms have often stalled. With themes including unlocking the gender dividend (Shakti Superpower), building a modern justice platform, and navigating the geoeconomic frontier of artificial intelligence and climate change, it focuses on the 'plumbing' of the nation: the courts, civil services, and digital systems. A manifesto for 2047, The Second Republic is a timely intervention, shifting the goalposts from 'growth at any cost' to 'growth through institutional excellence', making it an essential read for those trying to understand why India's path to $30 trillion requires more than just capital.

"Jeyamohan is one of India's most resourceful makers of literary art" PANKAJ MISHRA Our understanding of contemporary India is incomplete without reading Jeyamohan" VIVEK SHANBHAG, author of Ghachar Ghochar The year is 1878 and the south of India is in the grip of a devastating famine.Aiden Byrne, an Irish police officer and loyal servant to the Crown, encounters two laborers being brutally whipped by the roadside. Their tormentor is an overseer from the Tudor Ice Company, where mammoth blocks of ice, harvested from frozen New England lakes, are broken down for British banquets by workers from the lowest rung of the caste system.When those same laborers are found murdered, Aiden and Kathavarayan, a charismatic young activist, set out on a journey that brings them face-to-face with the bloody toll of the famine raging through the country. Once so fearless in this heat-blasted land, Aiden will now be forced to grapple with his own precarious role in the machinery of empire.A vivid reimagining of the first labor uprising in modern Indian history, White Elephant is a soul-searing novel by one of India's greatest living writers, offering a stirring, indelible argument against the pitiless march and corrupting influence of empire.Translated from the Tamil by Priyamvada Ramkumar
