Sustainability and the Future of International Trade

Confronting the Triple Crisis of Inequality, Security and Climate

Why the consequences of a prolonged period of weaker economic growth will be more profound than anyone dares to predictIn the heady progress of the post-war era, our lifestyles changed, our political systems adapted, and rapid economic growth became the model of every developed economy. But this prevailing consensus is falling apart around us. Growth is now, at best, no more than anaemic. Policymakers dream about an AI revolution and tweak their fiscal rules to accommodate a newly-austere economic reality but, all the while, government debt soars, financial markets become increasingly jittery, and voters lose trust in their politicians.Celebrated economist Stephen D. King asks how our politics will adapt to such persistently low growth. While leaders make fiscal promises based on a future that is unlikely to materialise, nationalism thrives, battlelines are drawn between perceived winners and losers, and the rules-based international order crumbles. The absence of growth triggers invidious political wrangling over tax, welfare, defence and infrastructure, intensifies competition for resources, and leads to social instability.King shows how our new world is governed by them-and-us divisions over limited economic spoils. This is the political economy of plunder.&nbsp;

Understand how circular economy principles reshape business strategy and practice. The Circular Economy by Suzanne Smit and Uthayasankar Sivarajah is a practical and theory-informed textbook for postgraduate and final-year undergraduate students studying Circular Economy, Sustainable Business and related business and management courses. Aligned with contemporary module outcomes, it addresses why circular economy thinking is essential for modern business and how organizations can embed sustainability across core functions. The textbook examines how businesses can plan, implement and manage circular transitions by integrating circular economy principles, metrics and decision-making frameworks into everyday business activity. Structured around four interrelated stages, it explores strategic planning, resource organization, leadership and control mechanisms that enable organizations to move from linear to circular models. Real-world examples from Ikea, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, The Guararapes Group and Flying Tiger demonstrate how circular strategies are applied in practice across industries and regions. This textbook includes: - A four-part framework covering planning, organizing, leading and controlling circular economy initiatives - Clear explanations of circular economy theories, strategies and performance metrics - Application of circular principles to finance, operations, supply chain management and business storytelling - Real-world examples illustrating how organizations manage circular transitions - Online resources including lecturer slides and a lecturer's manual Whether studying sustainable business or preparing for roles in strategy, operations or sustainability, this textbook equips students with the knowledge and practical insight needed to support and lead circular transformation in organizations.

'Excellent' Aaron Bastani 'Provocative ... An entertaining, sweeping read' Financial Times Every leader comes to power promising growth: think back to the campaigns of Boris, Truss, Sunak, Starmer, Trump. Yet real-term income hasn't improved in the UK since 2008. Across the West, growth has stagnated for well over a decade, leading to cost of living crises, political instability and rising social tensions. Is real economic growth still possible? And with the climate emergency accelerating beyond repair, should we still be pushing for it? In Icarus Economics, acclaimed economist John Rapley argues that the problem of growth is inherently tied up with the climate crisis. We often assume that poor countries will bear the brunt of climate change, pandemics, and other exogenous shocks, but this book argues the opposite: western societies have more wealth and capital to lose and are less inherently resilient. In this book, he shows us how rich countries can grow their own economies by helping poor countries to decarbonise - and in the process, mitigate the effects of climate change.

Growth, Degrowth, and the Future of the West

Icarus Economics

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.

In The Four Paradigms in Economics: Theories, Concepts, and Analytical Tools, Kavous Ardalan demonstrates how these four paradigms explain any economics phenomenon differently, and therefore, together they provide a broader and deeper understanding of the economic phenomenon under consideration. The main theme of The Four Paradigms of Economics is that social theory can usefully be conceived in terms of these four key paradigms: functionalist, interpretive, radical humanist, and radical structuralist. The four paradigms are founded upon different assumptions about the nature of social science and society, and therefore, provide different explanations of any phenomenon. The book also looks at the major prevailing schools of thought in economics (Neo-Classical Economics, New Institutional Economics, Behavioral Economics, Austrian Economics, Post-Keynesian Economics, Institutional Economics, Social Economics, Radical Economics, and Marxist Economics) from the point of view of the four paradigms and locates them within the four-paradigm framework.

The Four Paradigms in Economics

When I Grow Up

Independent, inflation-targeting central banks were supposed to deliver stable prices, financial stability and lasting prosperity. Instead, they have presided over financial crises, stagnant growth, rising inequality and the return of inflation. Yet policy makers and politicians have proved remarkably reluctant to challenge the orthodoxy. Why has this model proved so resilient-and what should replace it? In The Gods That Failed, economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that today's macroeconomic policy framework rests on five powerful myths that have shaped economic thinking since the 1980s. From the "natural" rate of interest and the management of inflation expectations to efficient financial markets and the taboos surrounding fiscal dominance and credit policy, these ideas continue to constrain policymakers even as the evidence against them becomes overwhelming. Blending colourful economic history, cutting-edge research and vivid real-world examples, Ryan-Collins opens-up the often opaque and technocratic world of monetary and financial policy for a wide readership and illustrates its fundamental flaws. At a time of repeated economic and financial shocks, ecological breakdown and geopolitical instability, The Gods That Failed argues that rebuilding our economies will require a wholesale rethinking of how central banks, governments and financial institutions work together to manage money, credit and the macroeconomy.

A grounded guide to thinking bigger with AI-and putting both human and machine intelligence to work across business and everyday life In The Intelligence Leap: How Humans + AI will Solve Problems, Reimagine Business, and Improve Lives, Gopi Kallayil, the Global AI Business Strategist and Leader at Google, argues that AI is the most profound invention in human history-for one specific reason. Nearly every major tool before it extended our physical capabilities. AI amplifies our cognitive abilities, which represents a leap in human intelligence. It doesn't replace our natural intelligence; it complements it, so that a single person can now harness the thinking power of an entire team. Drawing on hundreds of conversations with the world's top executives, Kallayil turns that shift into something any leader can actually use. He starts by demystifying AI in plain English-how it works, and what it's genuinely good at versus what it isn't. From there he makes his central case: the biggest breakthroughs won't come from working faster, but from non-linear thinkers who reimagine the problem entirely, the way Uber's founders stitched together maps, GPS, and idle cars into something the taxi and car rental industries never saw coming. AI doesn't hand out big ideas, but it supercharges the people who have them-empowering them to chase even bolder ones and build disruptions that dwarf what we've seen so far. The rest of the book brings all of this down to earth. Kallayil looks at business through four lenses-consumer behavior, marketing, service delivery, and operations-and gives readers practical frameworks alongside case studies from hospitality, retail, financial services, healthcare, and transportation. Throughout, his message stays consistent: this is a moment of extraordinary opportunity, and it belongs to whoever has the best idea and can act on it first. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>A jargon-free explanation of how AI actually works-what it's uniquely good at, and where it still falls short</li> <li>Why non-linear thinking, not raw effort or technical expertise, produces real breakthroughs-and how AI helps those thinkers reach solutions no one else has found</li> <li>The four conditions that spark non-linear thinking inside any organization</li> <li>Case studies from six industries-hospitality, transportation, retail, financial services, auto, and healthcare-showing the same transformation play out in strikingly different ways</li> <li>A grounded, optimistic take on AI's real risks-and the guardrails that let you move fast without getting burned</li> </ul> Ideal for business leaders, entrepreneurs, marketers, and anyone trying to understand where they fit in an AI-powered world, The Intelligence Leap offers a grounded way to combine human and artificial intelligence-to solve problems, transform organizations, and create lasting value.

The Intelligence Leap

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.

Historical Perspectives on Modern Economics

The history of money and banking has undergone three major transformations: from commodity money (e.g. currency backed by gold), to fiat money (e.g. currency not backed by a commodity), and now toward intangible money (e.g. digital forms without any backing). While the shift from commodity to fiat money was momentous, the transition to intangible money has profound implications for banking, monetary policy, and financial stability. Intangible Money, Banking, and Information provides a comprehensive overview of these transformations from the perspective of both the history of economic thought and monetary economics. It shows how advances in information and communication technology have accelerated the transition to intangible money, reshaping how transactions are recorded and how monetary systems function. At the same time, it argues that rapid financial innovation and deregulation have dramatically expanded the scale and complexity of banking and markets-often with destabilizing consequences.
