Springer Texts in Business and Economics

The third volume of this textbook contains problem sets that allow models to be applied to specific scenarios. The aim of these problems is to show the relevance of the results these models provide to analyse events, provide recommendations, or critique decisions made. This is achievable without referring to the details of the model and the formal mathematical results but using the often scarce information provided to approach the problem intuitively, informed by the models discussed in volumes I and II. Using such an approach also strengthens the understanding of the implications these models have for decision-making in banks or by policymakers.

An innovative grimdark fantasy, with expansive world-building, powerful female characters and political intrigue, for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Scott Lynch. The follow up to the award winning The Last Blade Priest. Two in the eye of the storm. Two in touch with the end. Syzenne. A princess? Or a mere bargaining chip in a contest between two powers? Duna. A teenage girl dragged into a war by a fanatical priest? Or a child who can break mountains? As blood-thirsty elves sweep the land, as religions crumble and rumours spread of an empire of the dead revived it is two young women who hold the key. As the world spirals down into war, The Last Blade Priest must face the fear and wonder of The Dead Man’s Empire. In The Holy Mountain, W.P. Wiles has created an epic fantasy of incredible richness and originality. A celebration of the genre and breath of fresh air.

The Dead Man's Empire

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>

Economics for Public Policy

Markets, State, and People

A challenge to incentivization as a dominant framework for understanding and governing people From corporate management and consumer behavior to public health and climate policy, incentives are widely treated as a neutral and effective way to shape how people act. In this book, Guus Dix shows that incentives are not simple policy nudges; they lull us into a passive understanding of ourselves as being merely responsive to changes others make to our environment. They foster a politics of incremental tweaks to a socially and ecologically destructive economic system that we are expected to accept without question. Dix argues that it is time to challenge the reign of incentives in contemporary science and public life. Dix traces the evolution of the incentive, from the engineering of performance charts and rewards for factory workers to combating gridlock at Britain’s National Health Service. He describes the function of incentives under socialism, theories of adjustment incentives developed at the Harvard Business School to manage employees, and incentivizing whole economies—both socialist and capitalist. He shows that incentivization is a distinct way of wielding power. Incentives have become part of a quasi-universal governing philosophy that keeps us from addressing such major issues as poverty and the climate crisis. Finally, Dix analyzes the limits of incentivization, arguing that being governed by incentives keeps us from considering government policies that have the potential to bring about meaningful and transformative change.

A Critical History of a Powerful Idea

A Novel

Symphony of Monsters

Kaoru Touno hat ein Gerücht gehört: Die Gesetze von Raum und Zeit gelten nicht für den Urashima-Tunnel. Wenn du ihn findest, gehst du hindurch und findest auf der anderen Seite alles, was dein Herz begehrt ... im Tausch gegen die Jahre deines Lebens.
 

 In der Nacht, in der Kaoru zufällig vor einem Tunnel steht, der dem Gerücht verdächtig ähnlich sieht, muss er an Karen denken, seine Schwester, die er vor fünf Jahren bei einem Unfall verloren hat. Zu Kaorus Überraschung wird er von der neuen Austauschschülerin Anzu Hanashiro verfolgt, die ihm verspricht, ihm bei seinen Experimenten mit dem mysteriösen Tunnel zu helfen - aber was will sie dafür von Kaoru? Und was wird er noch zu geben haben, wenn der Tunnel mit ihm fertig ist?

Wer wissen möchte, wie es um den Westen bestellt ist, muss nur die James-Bond-Reihe befragen. 
 50 Shades of Grey
 lässt ein Aufblühen der Prüderie erkennen, und die Rückkehr des Autoritarismus haben bereits 
 Star Wars
 und die diversen Verfilmungen von Marvel-Comics vorweggenommen. Vor allem große Blockbuster führen uns die herrschenden Ideologien unserer Zeit vor Augen. Doch wenn wir bloß schauen, sehen wir sie nicht.
 
 Wolfgang M. Schmitt zeigt, wie uns der Film - gerade dank seiner Künstlichkeit, der Montage, Stars und Spezialeffekte - einen anderen, mit der Brille der Fiktion geschärften Blick auf die Realität und auf uns selbst eröffnet. Sein ungewöhnlicher Ratgeber ist eine Liebeserklärung an Hollywood und zugleich ein flammendes Plädoyer für ein ideologiekritisches, kontraintuitives Sehen.

Roman Fever

Tildas (Luna Wedler) Tage sind streng durchgetaktet: studieren, an der Supermarktkasse sitzen, schwimmen, sich um ihre kleine Schwester Ida (Zoë Baier) kümmern - und an schlechten Tagen auch um ihre Mutter (Laura Tonke). Zu dritt wohnen sie im traurigsten Haus der 
Fröhlichstraße in einer Kleinstadt, die Tilda hasst. Ihre Freunde sind längst weg, leben in Amsterdam oder Berlin, nur Tilda ist geblieben. Denn irgendjemand muss für Ida da sein, Geld verdienen, die Verantwortung tragen. Nennenswerte Väter gibt es keine, die Mutter ist alkoholabhängig. 
Eines Tages aber geraten die Dinge in Bewegung: Tilda bekommt eine Promotion in Berlin in Aussicht gestellt, und es blitzt eine Zukunft auf, die Freiheit verspricht. Und Viktor (Jannis Niewöhner) taucht auf, der große Bruder von Ivan, den Tilda fünf Jahre zuvor verloren hat. Viktor, der - 
genau wie sie - immer 22 Bahnen schwimmt. Doch als Tilda schon beinahe glaubt, es könnte alles gut werden, gerät die Situation zu Hause vollends außer Kontrolle...
