Milton Friedman and Economic Debate in the United States

Edward Nelson: Milton Friedman and
Economic Debate in the United States, 1

Milton Friedman and Economic Debate in the United States, 1973-1976, Vol. 3

In Devil Take the Hindmost, Edward Chancellor traces the origins of the speculative spirit back to the publicani of ancient Rome and chronicles its revival in the modern world: from the tulip scandal of 1630s Holland and 'stockjobbing' in London's Exchange Alley, to the infamous South Sea Bubble of 1720, which prompted Sir Isaac Newton to comment, 'I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.' This revised and updated edition analyses with characteristic liveliness and precision the end of the dot-com bubble, the property value speculations that culminated in the 2008 financial crisis, the 'Everything Bubble' of the pandemic years and the gigantic speculations of Artificial Intelligence. This is the story of human hopes and folly through the ages, populated by brokers underwriting risks that included highway robbery and the 'assurance of female chastity'; credit notes and lottery tickets circulating as money; wise and unwise investors from Alexander Pope and Benjamin Disraeli to Hillary Rodham Clinton and well-known leaders of our own time.

A History of Financial Speculation

Devil Take the Hindmost

A dazzling exploration of the phenomenon of prediction betting markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? For many, Donald Trump's decisive election victory over Kamala Harris in 2024 was a shock. Traditional polls had the race on a razor's edge. But, for those with eyes on prediction betting markets, a very different story was being told. In recent years, prediction markets have swept the world, fundamentally changing the nature of the gambling market, and making their youthful pioneers billionaires. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction bets allow any difference of opinion - whether on politics, wars, assassinations or popular culture - to be financialised. But are these markets really a new phenomenon? What does it mean when markets get closer to the truth than the institutions we built to protect us? And what happens when those tasked with safeguarding democracy possess financial stakes in its volatility? From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through London coffee house gossip during the Napoleonic Wars, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange, The Big Bet describes the full five-hundred-year arc of a permissive regime which no one designed and no one voted for. Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future of our democratic self-governance. Because they are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world when everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

At the intersection of economic and political history, this book explores the pivotal role of the Irish diaspora in the development of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It examines the strategies their respective authorities used to harness it. While post-partition efforts were limited, from the 1950s onward both Irelands successfully engaged diaspora business elites to attract investment and stimulate growth. Highlighting the discreet yet decisive influence of powerful Irish-American businessmen, the study analyses their complex interactions with Irish policymakers. Marked by mutual interests, strategic collaboration, and subtle power dynamics, these relationships played a crucial role at key moments in Ireland’s economic history.Drawing on a century of previously unpublished archival sources from Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the United States, including government records, parliamentary papers, and contemporary press, this book provides fresh comparative insights into the economic policies of the two Irelands and the enduring impact of the diaspora on Ireland-US relations. Offering a rigorous and engaging analysis, this book demonstrates how the entrepreneurial networks of the Irish diaspora have been instrumental in shaping modern Ireland. It is essential reading for scholars in economic and business history, Irish history, and diaspora studies.&nbsp;&nbsp;Anne Groutel
 is a Full Professor of English-Speaking World Studies at the University of Rouen, France. She was previously a Senior Lecturer at the Panthéon-Sorbonne University. Her research expertise covers the economic history of both Irelands since partition; strategies of the Irish state regarding economic development; political and economic relations between the two Irelands; the influence of the United States and the Irish-American diaspora on the Irish economy; and Ireland’s economic diplomacy and soft power strategies. She is the author of 
 La coopération économique entre les deux Irlandes
 (PUC, 2003) and co-editor of 
 Revisiting the UK and Ireland’s Transatlantic Economic Relationship with the United States in the 21st Century: Beyond Sentimental Rhetoric
 (Palgrave, 2017). She has also co-edited 
 Ireland and Soft Power: Roots, Reach, Realities
 , to be published in 2026 by Manchester University Press.

The Politics and Economics of a Self-Serving Attachment

The Two Irelands and the Diaspora

Renowned economist Josh Ryan-Collins provides the ideal pedagogical resource for anyone concerned with the major role central banks play in shaping all of our economic opportunities and daily lives. This book provides a concise, authoritative overview of the history and stated purpose of central banks. With critiques of principles and actions that have emerged since the 2008 crash, Ryan-Collins's own and others' proposals offer a solution of how to reform them. In a clear, easy-to-follow structure, it offers historical-normative descriptions of the evolution and role of central banks alongside "myth-busting" chapters explaining the salient critiques of, and proposed alternatives to, principles at the heart of central-bank thinking. Along the way, it covers the major issues preoccupying critical central banking studies and political economics today, including housing inequalities, climate change, digital currencies, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence.

Routledge IAFFE Advances in Feminist Economics

In the wake of the global financial crisis, governments in many countries have imposed widespread cuts in public expenditure and social rights, some of which have been so dramatic that they have been described as 'austericide'. This book explores the financial crisis and the policies implemented in response to it in terms of the differences in the ways in which women and men have been affected by it, using an approach which combines feminist economics and a political economy framework. The book's aim is to question conventional economic theories in order to present more critical and realistic policy approaches. The breadth of the book's exploration of the impact of the cuts, exploring issues such as gender stereotyping and the sustainability of welfare systems, moves it beyond other analyses of gender and the crisis.

Austericide in Europe

The Feminist Economics of Austerity

How apprenticeship shaped the English economy Apprenticeship dominated training and skill formation in early modern Europe. Years spent learning from a skilled master were a nearly universal experience for young workers in crafts and trade. In England, when apprenticeship reached its peak, as many as a third of all teenage males would serve and learn as apprentices. In The Market for Skill, Patrick Wallis shows how apprenticeship helped reshape the English economy. Some historians see apprenticeship as a key ingredient in the industrial revolution; others agree with Adam Smith in seeing it as wasteful and conservative. Wallis shows that neither of these perspectives is entirely accurate. He offers a new account of apprenticeship and the market for skill in England, analyzing the records of hundreds of thousands of individual apprentices to tell the story of how apprenticeship worked and how it contributed to the transformation of England. Wallis details the activities of apprentices and masters, the strategies of ambitious parents, the interventions of guilds and the decisions of town officials. He shows how the system of early modern apprenticeship contributed to the growth of cities, the movement of workers from farms to manufacturing and the spread of new technologies and productive knowledge. In this groundbreaking study, Wallis argues that apprenticeship succeeded precisely because it was a flexible institution which allowed apprentices to change their minds and exit contracts early. Apprenticeship provided a vital channel for training that families could trust and that was accessible to most young people, whatever their background.

Apprenticeship and Economic Growth in Early Modern England

The Market for Skill

The lives of the world's poorest are already harder, hotter, and shorter, thanks to the actions and emissions of the world's richest. But just as the rich world's emissions are finally falling, emissions from poorer countries are set to increase drastically. We seem to be caught in an impossible bind-but it's not too late to find a way out. In Just Economics, renowned economists Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo (co-recipients of the 2019 Nobel Prize), and Michael Greenstone propose a radical new approach to combatting the climate crisis, arguing that climate deterioration is inseparable from our polycrisis of mass migration, political instability and the resurgence of populist nationalism. We cannot make progress, they show, without compensating those harmed by climate change and incentivizing developing countries to reduce their emissions, to our benefit too. Morality and self-interest are no longer mutually exclusive. Based on meticulous original research and years of fieldwork around the world witnessing and quantifying the real impact of climate change on those most affected, this inspiring work shows it's not impossible to protect the poor while protecting our future-it's just economics.
