Navigating the AI Frontier in Business:
Balancing Economy, Ecology, and Inclusio

Navigating the AI Frontier in Business: Balancing Economy, Ecology, and Inclusion

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.

A Charter to Remake the Indian State and Unleash a Nation's Potential

The Second Republic

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the 21st century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.

Is shrimp becoming Ecuador's new oil&nbsp;– and at what cost? Valerie Lenikus uncovers the political-economic drivers and the socio-ecological implications of extractivism: how export-led aquaculture has razed mangroves, displaced coastal livelihoods, and sharpened struggles over land and natural resources. Based on the Latin American debate on extractivism, historical conditions and inequalities, and the controversial constitution of 2008, the complex power relations on different spatial levels are depicted, linking the central role of the state and its policies with concrete struggles of communities.

This open access book critically analyses a wide range of consumer law issues generated or exacerbated by the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things challenges many of the dichotomies which have shaped current laws: goods-services, hardware-software, tangible-intangible, online-offline. The book focuses on 4 specific challenges: things-as-service, liability, bricking of physical devices through software control, and the potential for enhanced personalisation, especially for digital assistants. The chapters analyse specific applications such as smart homes, connected cars, and consumer wearables with a view to providing innovative solutions to the new challenges posed by the Internet of Things, and to steer the development of the Internet of Things in a fairer direction. As well as offering an important analysis of the potential for smart consumer laws in the Internet of Things, the book also provides important insights into the growing divergence between Germany's and the UK's consumer laws since Brexit. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by UKRI (Arts and Humanities Research Council) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

The Instant New York Times bestseller 'Masterful' - Adam Grant 'So interesting' - Pandora Sykes 'Wonderful' - Angela Duckworth An essential read to become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Range. We are constantly told to 'keep our options open' and 'think outside the box' - but what if endless freedom is exactly the problem? Drowning in a dizzying excess of choice often leads to dread, anxiety, and burnout. In Inside the Box, award-winning author David Epstein reveals a powerful truth: to thrive, you don't need more freedom. You need to build your own box. From navigating an uncertain future to building a life, intentional boundaries breed brilliance: <ul><li>Relationships: Couples who consciously commit are more satisfied than those who simply 'keep their options open'.</li><li>Artificial Intelligence: A lack of advanced microchips forced engineers at DeepSeek into brilliant workarounds, producing a model to rival ChatGPT.</li><li>Business: General Magic - a tech startup with limitless funding - failed spectacularly because they refused to set internal limits.</li><li>Science: The periodic table wasn't born from boundless genius, but the strict demands of a textbook deadline.</li><li>Music: Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett produced the bestselling solo piano album of all time by adapting to a broken piano.</li></ul> Constraints are not obstacles - they are powerful tools we can wield. Weaving gripping storytelling with cognitive science, Inside the Box proves the secret to expanding your potential isn't chasing endless options. It's taking back control and choosing the right limits. 'David Epstein's first two books - The Sports Gene and Range - were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best . . . I won't think about my own work the same way ever again' - Malcolm Gladwell

The Hidden Power of Embracing Limits

Inside the Box

China hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine beeindruckende Transformation vollzogen. Dennoch wird das Bild Chinas in der westlichen Welt oft von veralteten Vorstellungen und Klischees bestimmt.

Die chinesische Regierung bereitet sich strategisch auf dieses neue Zeitalter des 21. Jahrhunderts vor. Europa und die Europäische Union sollten es ihr gleichtun. Dafür ist jedoch entscheidend, dass wir uns zunächst darüber klar werden, welche Ziele und Interessen wir in dieser neuen globalen Ordnung verfolgen wollen.&nbsp;Der InhaltDieses Buch soll mit verschiedenen Sichtweisen dazu beitragen ein Verständnis zu schaffen, Wissen zu vermitteln und persönliche Erfahrungen zu teilen.

China hat in den vergangenen Jahren eine atemberaubende Entwicklung erlebt. Trotzdem ist das China-Bild besonders in der westlichen Welt von Vorstellungen und Klischees geprägt.

 Das zukünftige wirtschaftliche Zentrum der Welt sind nicht mehr der Atlantik und Europa. Die Zukunft wird sich um den Pazifik abspielen. Die Chinas Regierung wappnet sich für dieses kommende Zeitalter im 21. Jahrhundert. Wir in Europa und der EU sollten das besser auch tun. Dazu müssten wir uns aber darüber einig sein, was wir eigentlich wollen.

China im Blickpunkt des 21. Jahrhunderts

Business today remains tethered to a paradigm that is long out of date. This mindset assumes that universal answers exist: Businesses can simply apply compartmentalized operations and follow linear paths to success. Experienced managers know business doesn't work this way. Where should they turn?In this groundbreaking book, Doug Garnett shows how complexity science reveals a new understanding of how business works that is as useful on the front lines as in the C-suite. This discipline--the study of behaviors in highly interconnected, adapting systems dominated by emergence--is revolutionizing fields from biology and economics to psychology and artificial intelligence. Recognizing a business as a complex adaptive system operating within other complex systems changes our perspective on everything from core concepts of demand, profit, and strategy to the nature of business success. Managers who grasp the order hidden within complexity discover not only a powerful new understanding of their role but also potential for dramatic contributions to success.The Complexity Paradigm features vivid examples ranging from local coffee shops to major corporations like PepsiCo, Boeing, Mattel, Starbucks, and General Motors as well as tech giants such as Apple and AT&amp;T. Grounding eye-opening theory in the realities of business, this foundational look at complexity offers deep insight and value for practitioners and students alike.

Lead with humanity and end the era of management mediocrity. If you've ever vowed to be a better boss than the ones you've had, this book is for you. James (J.R.) Lowry and Daniela De Luca provide an essential roadmap for first-time managers and emerging leaders who refuse to repeat decades of management mediocrity. Drawing on Lowry's experience as a former US Air Force officer, McKinsey partner, and C-suite executive and De Luca's research on career advancement, this comprehensive guide shows how ditching outdated command-and-control habits-and leading with empathy instead-unlocks stronger performance, trust, and engagement in today's teams. Nearly 70 percent of American workers are disengaged, according to Gallup-a clear sign that traditional management approaches are no longer working. In response, Lowry and De Luca offer a practical framework that balances the art and science of management. They reveal the most common misconceptions and mistakes managers make, explain how the manager's role is evolving, and address the mental and emotional preparation required to lead well (even on hard days). Through concrete, actionable practices, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had shows you how to manage with humanity, both in team practices like delegation and coaching, and in challenges such as office politics and burnout. The result is higher team engagement, stronger productivity, and a workplace culture where people can genuinely thrive. Becoming the leader you always wanted to work for is within your reach. With a relatable blend of research, stories, and advice, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had is a clarion call to move beyond the "management meh" that plagues many organizations worldwide. J.R. Lowry and Daniela De Luca invite leaders to reclaim the human element of their work and, in doing so, change their own lives and the lives of those they lead.

A guide to organizational transformation targeting the country's trillion-dollar stagnancy problem-the "frozen middle" of corporate America-and offering strategies to overcome bureaucratic setbacks that hinder innovation, profit, and fulfillment Corporate America has a trillion-dollar problem: the frozen middle-paralysis in the critical layer of management caught between high-level leadership's vision and frontline employees' execution. This paralysis causes even the most promising initiatives to stall out. It traps passionate managers in inertia and stymies senior leadership. And every year it's costing companies billions. As experts in organizational transformation, Jimmy Leppert and Justin Wasserman have spent their careers figuring out how to thaw the frozen middle. Their consulting firm, Empactful Advisors, has led major organizations-including Chevron, Merck, and the Department of Defense-to generate more than $5 billion in cost savings and revenue growth. The key to their success comes from aligning senior leadership and middle management, using empathy and practical frameworks to illuminate the blocks that both sides face, and showing how they can shift from utter disconnect to collaborative goal setting that helps all parties-as well as the company-hit their targets. In Thaw, Leppert and Wasserman share their field-tested methods for turning strategic goals into tangible outcomes. Along the way, they offer a road map for employees at all levels to learn how to move through the bottlenecks that hold their organizations back and facilitate meaningful change. Middle managers will be empowered to unlock stalled careers, and senior leaders will learn how to galvanize their workforce and achieve bold, accelerated change. In the age of AI, a playbook for improving-and celebrating-human contribution is more essential than ever. Sharp, confident, and timely, Thaw is poised to be the definitive book on ending organizational paralysis and unlocking true potential.

He is Professor of Political Economy, past Director and Fellow of the Center for Economic and International Studies, Senior Fellow and Member of the Advisory Board of the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” Foundation, President of the Villa Mondragone Economic Development Association, President Emeritus of the Italian Society of Development Economics, and Chairman of OpenEconomics International, a university spin off focusing on project evaluation and economic development. His former institutional positions include the Governing Board of the Italian Institute of Statistics, the Italian Institute for Economic Planning (President), the National Planning Board, the Italian Parliamentary Budget Committee (Senior Adviser), the Ministry of Economics and Finance (Economic Adviser) the World Bank (Senior Economist and Research Coordinator). He has developed widely published methodologies to evaluate public investment programs, by combining option theory, cost benefit analysis and computable general equilibrium methods, and
 
 has been advising the World Bank and other multilateral institutions on the applications of these methodologies to policies of sustainable development.

This study explores the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the tourism sector, emphasizing its role in enhancing service quality, operational efficiency, and global reach. To assess future impacts, the study uses a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model built on GTAP 11 data. A scenario analyzing €66 billion in AI-tourism investments across G7 and other nations suggests strong short-term returns, particularly for capital and skilled labor, with the U.S. leading due to favorable infrastructure and market conditions. These findings point to the need for skill development and equitable policy design. AI’s capacity to personalize experiences and optimize operations positions it as a key driver of sustainable growth in tourism, with considerable economic spillovers and transformative potential across global markets.
