Ruinous Ends

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>

This book is an ambitious research work that incorporates recent findings on communication and knowledge in organizations and includes contributions from global researchers. It brings together researchers from various countries who are active in this field and describes research on communication and knowledge that considers the development of ICT under the positivist paradigm (Part I) as well as research on communication and knowledge that focuses on language under the interpretivist paradigm (Part II). By approaching research on communication and knowledge in organizations using these two paradigms, this book presents a clear and energetic overview of the characteristics of both.

This multi-perspective examination provides deep insight into the many ways people can better understand conflict, with practical application to various roles and settings. Kenneth H. Fox provides a broadly interdisciplinary examination of conflict insights and dives into implications of how this can inform more reflective, insightful, and comprehensive conflict practice across a range of professional and personal settings. While the book is grounded in theory, it is written to be practical and accessible to students and practitioners. The book is organized into 3 parts. Part 1 introduces several metaphors that help the reader envision conflict in complementary ways and examines the importance of adopting multiple perspectives for broadening insights into conflict. It also introduces technical language that helps clarify the implications of conflict intervention and invites the readers to appreciate and engage in reflective and reflexive conflict practice. Part 2 examines sample conflict theories from six, broad disciplinary perspectives: the body; the non-conscious mind; the strategic mind; language and symbols; the co-creation of meaning; and social systems, structures, and the conflict ecosystem. Together, these 6 perspectives help provide a holistic sense of the conflicts we experience. Part 3 shifts focus to practical application of the insights examined. It discusses how the various perspectives impact the work of a conflict practitioner in general as well as particular practice roles and settings.

A Counterintuitive Guide for Humans to Have More by Doing Less

Unhinged Habits

'Mezrich's books are the sort of engrossing reads you pick up in the airport then find the blockbuster film on the plane' - Evening Standard In September 2022, the chess world watched in disbelief as Magnus Carlsen, widely considered the greatest player in history, faced an unthinkable defeat against the nineteen-year-old American upstart, Hans Niemann. When Carlsen withdrew from the prestigious Sinquefield Cup and subtly accused Niemann of cheating, shockwaves hit the chess community, igniting the biggest scandal in the sport's history. Checkmate dives deep into this modern-day drama, tracing the parallel rises of Carlsen, the stoic virtuoso, and Niemann, the fiery disruptor. Niemann denied the accusations, even as past online cheating incidents surfaced, while powerful entities like Chess.com, a billion-dollar online arena, became entangled in the escalating controversy. As the scandal went viral, it became clear that more was at stake than a single game. Checkmate is a story of ambition, genius and greed set against the backdrop of a once-niche game exploding into a global, multi-billion-dollar phenomenon. It's a compelling exploration of a world where tradition collides with innovation, and a new generation, forged in the digital age, threatens to upend everything.
