Magnuson J: Self, Society and Economy

Self, Society and Economy

21st Century Progressivism and the Original Schools of Pragmatism and Institutional Economics

Economics is vital, but its labyrinth of equations can make it feel disconnected from the real world. Enter a powerful tool: the metaphor.From longtime economics journalist Peter Coy comes an approachable and fun guide to the metaphors that unlock its power. With nearly 500 alphabetized entries, complemented by playful illustrations, Economics Without Numbers demystifies concepts, exploring their origins, the truths they express, and where they fall short. The result is a delightful and original primer on economic ideas and history that's perfect for students and anyone who wants to understand what makes the world go 'round.Coy has spent decades collecting these vivid metaphors. From "trickle-down economics" (the idea that making the rich richer will help the poor) to "inductivist turkey" (a parable about the perils of assuming that a trend will persist without knowing its cause), Coy brings economics to life.

An A-to-Z Guide for the Rest of Us

Economics without Numbers

Decisions are everywhere--from a group's choice of pizza to a decision on a family vacation to the elections of political leaders. Central to the functioning of our organizations is the belief that these decisions reflect the wishes of voters. Yet most voting rules are unreliable and can lead to unfair outcomes. And, while a large body of academic literature describes the flaws and limitations of standard voting methods, little is known about why they occur.

In Fair Voting Methods, Donald G. Saari explores the difficulties that have plagued social choice theory for over seventy-five years. Focusing on ranked choice voting and group decision-making, Saari expands on Arrow's impossibility theorem and presents a more precise statement: all standard voting rules either fail to always rank the candidates to determine who is preferred to whom, or the voting outcomes can result in inferior choices that are not what the voters wanted. Saari then identifies and resolves the structures that negatively impact voting systems. While Arrow's seminal result asserted that the problems of standard voting systems are unavoidable, Saari makes a bold and compelling case that there are indeed usable fair voting methods. He introduces one such method that achieves Arrow's objectives of always ranking candidates with outcomes that reflect voters' intent. The book concludes by applying insights from voting theory into other topics where parts are also assembled into wholes, including judgement aggregation, corporate structures, crime prevention, the US Electoral College, and standard scientific procedures.

Fair Voting Methods

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.

The Political Economy of Financial Capitalism

Marx and Financialisation

What can a Roman coin, a Chumash shell necklace, and a Bitcoin tell us about world history? This book traces the surprising life of money across centuries and civilizations. The Daily Life of Money in History offers an eye-opening look at how humans have exchanged value across time and cultures. Each of the 150 entries explores a single object-beautifully illustrated and deeply contextualized-to uncover how people bought, sold, traded, saved, and survived through the ages. Designed with researchers, educators, students, and curious readers in mind, this richly visual volume brings together cultural history, economic life, and global exchange in a highly accessible format. Each object includes origin details, historical purchasing power, and its legacy today-making it an ideal reference for classrooms, libraries, and history lovers alike.

The Daily Life of Money in History

Lead a business that runs without you and outlasts you. Dan Martell's Buy Back Your Time gave entrepreneurs the blueprint to get unstuck and reclaim their freedom. Now he's back with the lesson that separates founders who scale from founders who stall: learning to let go - and why doing it right changes everything. Let Go to Grow is the book every ambitious leader needs but won't see coming. The entrepreneurs who build great companies without burning out don't win because the market cooperates or their strategy is perfect. They win because they stop white-knuckling their business. Most founders respond to pressure the only way they know how: push harder, do more. Martell shows you why that kills your potential and why real leverage starts the moment you decide to change yourself before you change the business. His three levels of letting go rewire how you lead yourself, your team, and your company so it scales without you carrying it. In this book, you'll discover how to become a "full-spectrum leader," someone who leads with calm authority, holds high standards, and builds systems that grow beyond them. You'll learn: <ul><li>The mindset shift that turns your team into "owners" who chase outcomes and not paychecks.</li><li>How to extend trust at scale and watch your people rise to meet it.</li><li>How to embed culture so deep your team carries it forward without you in the room, and a full toolkit of frameworks to drive excellence at every level.</li></ul> You cannot grow a company you refuse to release. And you cannot release it until you grow. Dan Martell shows you how to do both at once. Let go without losing control, build a company where people think like owners, and lead a movement that scales with or without you in the driver's seat. Let Go to Grow is the next evolution. It starts with you.

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.

Prediction Markets and the Future of Democracy

The Big Bet

Every morning, Craig Wahl walks his dog Winston through quiet, tree-lined streets, and every morning, Winston stops, sniffs, backtracks, and finds his own way forward. It is not a straight line. Neither is leadership.The Walk: Leadership When There Is No Finish Line delivers the unpolished truth: Leadership is an endless, messy, and grueling walk where clarity runs out and pressure stays high. Drawing on his own experience navigating bankruptcies and IP lawsuits and scaling a team from eight to nearly three hundred employees, Wahl maps the terrain leaders actually walk: trust rebuilt daily, accountability nobody wants to own, and the quiet endurance required to keep showing up.The Walk bypasses academic theory to address what most leadership guides skip: toxicity without villains, high-performer alignment, and the discomfort of leading outside the room. Through practical tools like the "Failure Audit" and the "Toxicity Response Ladder," executives learn to turn reflection into action."Leadership doesn’t break people because they don’t care enough. It breaks them because they care deeply and no one prepared them for the cost of that care."When corporate doors chain shut and proximity no longer guarantees alignment, only one question remains: What will a leader be remembered for? Step onto the pavement and discover how to keep walking.

Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream

Bad Company

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;
