Economics as Social Theory

Amartya Sen - who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economic Science in 2003 - is one of the leading economists of his generation. The important new book provides an exposition and assessment of Amartya Sen's socio-economics, both positive and especially normative, including his contributions to welfare economics, ethics and the theory-and-policy approach of 'human development'. The exposition and assessment will include discussion of the historical and intellectual contexts. The book also analyzes Sen's contributions to philosophy, the second field in which Sen has published and held appointments.

@text Amartya Sen - who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economic Science in 2003 - is one of the leading economists of his generation. He is best known for his deep critique of the liberal and utilitarian inheritances in economics, including the treatment (or neglect) of values and value-judging in public contexts; and his construction of a partial alternative, including entitlements analysis, the capabilities approach and, extending from those two, an integrative development philosophy centered on the direct and instrumental values of freedom and democracy. The important new book provides an exposition and assessment of Amartya Sen’s socio-economics, both positive and especially normative, including his contributions to welfare economics, ethics and the theory-and-policy approach of ‘human development’. The exposition and assessment will include discussion of the historical and intellectual contexts. The book also analyzes Sen's contributions to philosophy, the second field in which Sen has published and held appointments.

Advances In Entrepreneurial Economics And Sustainable Development

This book presents a new perspective on the challenges of the contemporary global economy from the standpoint of entrepreneurship. From this viewpoint, it elucidates the consequences of entrepreneurial activities for the world economy, addressing the exacerbation and alleviation of its pressing issues.The book's central thesis is this: most challenges facing today's global economic system can be addressed with high efficiency and at an accelerated pace through deregulation and the enhancement of entrepreneurial market freedom. This approach will foster a surge in entrepreneurial innovation and marketing activities, and optimize cross-border investment flows.The global repercussions of entrepreneurial activities are examined in detail, reinterpreted through the lens of sustainable global economic development. It offers practical recommendations for optimizing entrepreneurial endeavors to maximize their contribution in solving world problems pressing the global economy.Certain chapters of the book focus on the sustainable development of entrepreneurship in developing countries to support the resolution of global economic challenges, particularly highlighting the unique experiences and prospects of Central Asia. Scholars studying global economic issues as well as government and corporate leaders involved in entrepreneurial management will find this book particularly useful.

The Role Of Entrepreneurship In Resolving Modern Global Economic Problems: A Systemic Review

The acclaimed author of How Asia Works brings his "pithy, well-written and intellectually vigorous" (Financial Times) reporting to Africa, revealing essential, promising lessons about the engines of economic growth across the continent In the 1980s, countries across Asia stunned the world with meteoric economic growth--but when eyes turn to Africa today, it is often to lament corruption, violence and poverty rather than to scout the next developmental frontrunners. Yet some African nations, even in the face of challenging geography and the crippling legacies of colonialism, have found remarkable success. In How Africa Works, Joe Studwell draws on extensive research and travel across the continent to explore what's worked and what hasn't, and shows how the rapidly rising population--seen as alarming by so many--will be foundational to Africa's flourishing. Highlighting the insights and achievements of African leaders rather than the international community that presumes to know better, Studwell shows that there is a clear developmental path many successful nations have followed. He puts the spotlight on four countries that have seen exceptional economic growth--Botswana, Mauritius, Ethiopia and Rwanda--and that demonstrate the promise as well as the particular challenge of the African context. Prosperity is well within reach, thanks to huge leaps forward in education and favorable demographics, but embracing winning polices and sidestepping misguided foreign interests will be key. Studwell's book is essential, optimistic reading for anyone looking to understand the next chapter of global development.

Success and Failure on the World's Last Developmental Frontier

How Africa Works

The birth of new nations, independent democracies, the defeat of settler colonialism, the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo; the African continent is booming. So why do myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land and unfounded concerns about overpopulation remain?In a groundbreaking new study of Africa's developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views about the continent's presumed resistance to growth, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management. Considering everything from settler colonialism to soil conditions, mineral extractivism to disease development and eradication, and across case studies from Rwanda to Botswana, Studwell persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people and states across Africa, has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world's second largest continent - and an optimistic look to its future.

Some innovators are luminous shooting stars--think Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein, Sylvia Plath, Bob Dylan, Steve Jobs--who make bold leaps early and suddenly, then lose their creativity. Others are late bloomers--Paul Cezanne, Charles Darwin, Virginia Woolf, Alfred Hitchcock, Warren Buffett--who show little early promise, but spend long periods doggedly pursing distant goals, and attain greatness in old age. By analyzing the careers of scores of great innovators, this book reveals systematic differences in the motivations and methods of these two types, and their very different patterns of creativity over the life cycle. The result is a new and deeper unified understanding of the sources of human creativity.

When in their lives are innovators most creative, and why? This book summarizes more than two decades of research prompted by this question. The result is an authoritative statement of a new unified theory of creativity, that overturns both popular and scholarly beliefs about the sources of human inventiveness. David Galenson shows that there are two distinctly different kinds of creativity in virtually every discipline. They result from very different goals and methods, and each produces a specific pattern of discovery over the life cycle. 

Conceptual innovators make bold leaps to formulate new ideas. The most radical conceptual innovations are made by brash young geniuses, who often lose their creativity thereafter. Great conceptual innovators analyzed in this book include Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein, Orson Welles, Sylvia Plath, Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan, and Steve Jobs. 

Experimental innovators make discoveries gradually and unobtrusively, through careful observation and generalization. They gain knowledge over time, and make their greatest contributions late in their lives. Great experimental innovators considered in this book include Paul Cezanne, Charles Darwin, Virginia Woolf, Robert Frost, Alfed Hitchcock, John Coltrane, and Warren Buffett. 

From analysis of the careers of scores of artists, scholars, and entrepreneurs, this book provides a new understanding of the creative processes of great innovators, and reveals the systematic patterns that underlie the two life cycles of creativity. It will be of interest to anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of the sources of human creativity.
