Global South

Karl Polanyi and the Global South

Understanding the Many Paths beyond Capitalism

"[O]ne of the most original and important books on Africa in years."--Financial Times"Challenges outdated narratives and makes a compelling case for the continent's economic potential."--Bill GatesThe acclaimed author of How Asia Works brings his "pithy, well-written and intellectually vigorous" (Financial Times) reporting to Africa, revealing essential, promising lessons about the engines of economic growth across the continentThe culmination of twenty years spent studying Asian economics, Joe Studwell's celebrated How Asia Works revealed the key policies behind the meteoric growth of the "Asian tigers." The question he kept hearing from those inspired by his clear-eyed understanding of global development: what about Africa? He was finally convinced to investigate further when the inquiries began coming from Africans themselves. A decade of research, travel and on-the-ground reporting began.Studwell expected that Africa's challenging geography and its crippling legacies of colonialism would necessitate a unique developmental recipe. Yet to his astonishment, the African countries that succeeded did so by embracing the very same strategies their Asian counterparts had--strategies that are far different from those foisted on Africa by the international community. He explores these winning policies via four countries that have seen exceptional economic growth (Botswana, Mauritius, Ethiopia and Rwanda) and that demonstrate both the promise and the particular challenge of the African context. Highlighting the achievements of local leaders, Studwell argues that prosperity is well within reach and that the rapidly rising population--seen as alarming by so many--will be foundational to Africa's flourishing. How Africa Works is essential, optimistic reading for anyone looking to understand the next chapter of global development.

Tourism, the SDGs, and Partnerships

From the author of A People's Guide to Capitalism, a clear-eyed look at cryptocurrencies from the left, cutting through the glitz and the scams to reveal how crypto mirrors and exacerbates the crises of capitalism. 
 
Cryptocurrencies have gone from being fringe investments relevant only to hardcore adherents to a $3.7 trillion industry with a direct line to Donald Trump's White House. The promises of crypto are wide-ranging, preying on a basic reality: people are disaffected by an economic and financial system that has excluded them and wonder if cryptocurrencies can offer a more transparent and inclusive alternative. 
 
Challenge any of these notions, or raise concerns about crypto's associations with money laundering, the speculative bubbles ballooning around these assets, or the disastrous climate implications of the technology behind crypto, and you'll be told by proselytizers that you simply don't understand. That complexity is often intentional, serving as a shield from critical scrutiny. 
 
Enter Crypto-Capitalism, Hadas Thier's deft, accessible examination of the rise and fall and rise again of crypto. Drawing on years of reporting on the industry, its insiders, and the ordinary people impacted by its wild peaks and busts, Thier explains how cryptocurrencies work, elucidates the context and implications of their rise, and debunks the utopian mythology that animates their boosters. 
 
By showing that systemic exploitation and domination are inherent in a crisis-ridden capitalist economy and are matters of class power, not technology, Thier convincingly cuts through the froth and the lies of financial dystopia. Along the way, she opens up alternative avenues for imagining what economic democracy could actually look like.

The New Financial Dystopia

Crypto-Capitalism

In vielen gesellschaftlichen Debatten sind zwei unversöhnliche Lager entstanden, die im Feind-Freund-Schema denken und handeln, die aber zu Gemeinsamkeit und Kompromiss nicht mehr in der Lage sind. Das trägt verhängnisvoll zur Delegitimierung unserer demokratischen Institutionen bei.&nbsp;
 
 Gerade angesichts der Herausforderung der Dekarbonisierung und der weltpolitischen Lage mit aggressiven autokratischen Regimen auf dem Vormarsch können sich die demokratischen Wohlstandsnationen Europas und Nordamerikas eine solche Selbst-Schwächung nicht leisten. Eine Stärkung des sozialen Vertrauens und Zusammenhalts ist notwendig, um die Zukunft zu bestehen. Hierbei kommt der Wirtschaft eine Schlüsselrolle zu. Wir brauchen eine Ökonomie der Versöhnung.&nbsp;
 
 Die Geschichte insbesondere des New Deals und der sozialen Marktwirtschaft hat gezeigt: Es ist möglich, über große wirtschaftspolitische Programme nicht nur gesellschaftliche Spaltung zu überwinden, sondern auch Frieden zu sichern. Diese Programme sind heute nicht wiederholbar – unabdinglich wird aber sein, in sozialen Zusammenhalt gezielt zu investieren. Es geht nicht bloß um materielle Besserstellung, sondern um umfassende gesellschaftliche Teilhabe und soziale Anerkennung aller gesellschaftlichen Gruppen.&nbsp;

Ökonomie der Versöhnung

Seit Jahren wird versprochen, die Klimakrise mit CO¿-Preisen, Effizienzsteigerungen und grünem Wachstum zu lösen. Doch während Emissionen bepreist werden, steigen sie weiter; während erneuerbare Energien ausgebaut werden, wächst der Rohstoffverbrauch. Dieses Buch nimmt diese Widersprüche ernst - und zieht Konsequenzen.

Franz Garnreiter zeigt anhand konkreter Beispiele, warum marktwirtschaftliche Klimapolitik an ihre Grenzen stößt: warum Emissionshandel die Dekarbonisierung nicht beschleunigt, warum "grünes" Wachstum neue Abhängigkeiten von Metallen und Ressourcen schafft und weshalb die Hauptlast der Klimazerstörung bei jenen landet, die am wenigsten dazu beitragen.

Der besondere Blick dieses Buches liegt auf Zeiträumen und Machtverhältnissen, die in der Klimadebatte meist ausgeblendet werden: auf 250 Jahren kapitalistischer Expansion, auf der Konzentration von Reichtum und Entscheidungsmacht und auf der systematischen Verlagerung ökologischer Kosten in den Globalen Süden. Statt abstrakter Appelle fragt das Buch konkret, welche Wirtschaftsweise innerhalb planetarer Grenzen überhaupt tragfähig ist - und was dafür grundlegend anders werden muss.

Stories, Lessons, and Advice from the Inventor of America's Original Multi-Tool

The Leatherman Book

A searing exposé of the new tools of corporate profiteering and a field guide to the deceptive tactics companies are using to cheat consumers out of their money—and how we can get ahead of them—from a leading voice in economic policy and executive director of a corporate watchdog think tank Everywhere you turn, Americans are getting ripped off: Landlords use software to band together and organize artificial rent hikes. Ride-sharing apps spike the price of trips when your phone is about to die. Online ticket sellers hide behind exorbitant processing fees. And car companies install software that reports your driving behavior to insurance companies so that they can raise your premiums. Price gouging is the latest frontier in corporate profiteering—and it’s gutting the American economy and your wallet. In Gouged, economist and veteran consumer advocate Lindsay Owens takes us inside the corporate boardrooms where pricing decisions are made, uncovering the tricks, traps, and outright fraud corporations use to jack up the price you pay at checkout. From data collection to drone surveillance, modern technology provides companies a staggering arsenal of sophisticated tools to squeeze as much money out of consumers as possible, bringing in record profits as a result. Drawing on original reporting, shareholder meeting transcripts, and rigorous economic analysis, Owens takes aim at big-tech behemoths, airlines, health insurance companies, and more to pull back the curtain on how price gougers are coming for almost every line item in your household budget, from doctors’ visits to rent, groceries, and even your summer vacation. Gouged arms us with the essential knowledge we need to first recognize, then sidestep the traps that corporations try to conceal from us. In a world where price gouging has become ubiquitous, Gouged is necessary reading for anyone looking to stay an informed consumer, save money rather than surrender it to greedy CEOs, and stand up for fair prices in America.

The End of a Fair Price--and What That Means for Your Wallet

Gouged

The selected letters of Walter Eucken from the years 1933 to 1945 shed light on previously unknown aspects of his biography and offer insights into a range of personal and academic relationships that were of great significance for the genesis of his work as well as for the formation and activities of the Freiburg School and the Freiburg Circle. The letters are an important source for the genesis of Eucken's two major works. They make it evident how and why, in the mid-1930s, he abandoned his plan to write a "Theoretical Economics" and instead focused entirely on the "Foundations of Economics." The letters also reveal how his work on the "Foundations" led him to the later, posthumously published "Principles of Economic Policy." For many questions concerning the history of ordoliberalism and Eucken's biography and works, the letters are the decisive source. They show his conduct during the processes of political conformity in 1933/34 and provide an impression of Eucken's assessment of the general political situation and of specific political events. In some draft letters, Eucken's criticism of Nazi policies becomes openly visible. Some letters hint at the threats he and his family faced under the Nazi regime and the depth of his engagement with the basic tenets of Nazi conceptions of science. The letters also make clear his reflections on religion and worldview and their relationship to science. The letters make it possible to trace Eucken's path toward his understanding of order and "ordo" as well as the relationship between freedom and order. It becomes evident that Eucken's and the ordoliberal school's essential conception of order and freedom was a direct result of their confrontation with National Socialism.

Critical University Studies

How the cult of capitalism reshaped the American university--and hollowed it out from within.Over the past several decades, American universities have been remade as engines of entrepreneurial ambition. Technology transfer offices, business incubators, pitch competitions, innovation hubs, and leadership centers now sit at the heart of campus life, radically altering how institutions describe their purpose, structure curricula, and imagine student success. The Start-Up Factory argues that this shift has come at a steep cost.James Rushing Daniel traces the rise of entrepreneurialism in higher education and shows how universities came to embrace the figure of the founder as both ideal and benefactor. Business leaders--many of them major donors--are celebrated as singular visionaries, their values imported into academic life and framed as models for intellectual work. This reverence, Daniel argues, has narrowed the university's sense of public responsibility for distorted academics, and transformed institutions into finishing schools for aspiring entrepreneurs. Moving across policy and historical documents, institutional rhetoric, teaching materials, site visits, and interviews, The Start-Up Factory documents how entrepreneurial thinking has reshaped the pedagogy, culture, and mission of the American university.The consequences of this entrepreneurial focus extend far beyond campuses. By promoting the myth of the self-made billionaire, universities help legitimize extreme inequality and normalize forms of power that undermine democratic life. At a moment of deep institutional crisis, when the influence of the billionaire class on college campuses is increasingly absolute and the future of higher education is uncertain, The Start-Up Factory offers a clear-eyed account of how universities arrived here--and why reclaiming their autonomy has become an urgent task.
