Avni Agarwal: The Economics of Uncommon
Sense

The Economics of Uncommon Sense

The Hidden Game

Offers an interdisciplinary corporate governance perspective on the rising global adherence to ESG principles, exploring its historical roots and regulatory evolution to serve both academic and professional audiences.

This book concerns a unique approach of assessing the high increasing rates of adherence to ESG principles through the perspective of an interdisciplinary, corporate governance approach. As regulatory authorities and related authorities globally demand adherence and a genuine adoption of a standardised understanding and implementation of ESG principles, new methods of assessment are being agreed. Despite its importance, ESG has not been successfully analysed within this context. It could serve as a unique textbook to lecturers in addition to its main purpose as a general book for specialists and practitioners in the fields such as law, economics, management and governance. As large companies are in particular need to comply with ESG adoption, this book assesses the history of its roots in the City of London and its development through Lord Mervyn King and the King Laws in South Africa.

There will be great pressure on large companies to be rated as ESG compliant or they will lose their ratings status in the world economy. This book charts this course and assesses the outcomes. The importance of these outcomes cannot be underestimated, and countries such as South Africa are finding they will be stranded economically if they do not comply. In this book, the authors assess these important issues and what rating systems will be acceptable to maintain high levels of investment on the LSE, JSE by pension funds, asset management companies and banks in listed companies. They also analyse the Maritime sector in detail which is based financially in the City of London and which is not covered in related books despite it being a sector that carries controls 95% of world trade.

Corporate Governance in Practice

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

LE SYSTÈME DU MILLIONNAIRE SILENCIEUX

This is a book about choices. Not the kind you make when you decide who to marry, whether to quit your job, or when to go for a hike. It's about the kind that hardly existed a hundred years ago but now govern our lives. The kind that have architects.Choose Your Captivity exposes the hidden forms of designed choice that, by determining the options made available to us, are deployed to steer our attention, behaviour and desires, influencing everything from what we eat to where we live and how we vote. It introduces the architects who first devised and applied these insidious tools, from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who in less than a generation helped transform a handful of online platforms into the richest corporations in history. By constraining our actions, shaping our choices and even our identities, they have made the world we know today.Open your eyes to the immense power wielded by the choice architects - and how to escape it.

Most people build resumes.
Few understand the life being built alongside them.
This book explores what doesn't get documented-the decisions made without clarity, the transitions taken without certainty, and the personal trade-offs behind every professional milestone. These are the moments that never appear on a résumé, that no professional biography can truly capture. And yet, they form the spine of a person. Everything else is built on top of them.
Across three decades of work, change, and reinvention, Things You Do Not Find in a Resume offers a rare and honest look at how careers actually evolve-not in straight lines, but through choices, context, and lived experience.
If you are an aspiring entrepreneur building something, a mid-career professional rethinking your direction, or someone simply trying to make sense of where you are, this is a story you will find yourself in.

The Untold Journey of Ambition and the Life Built Beyond the Resume

Things You Do Not Find in a Resume

A single wrong assumption can leave a business undervalued, costing its owners real money, or overvalued, inviting tax scrutiny and legal risk. Valuation is as much art as science, and its most dangerous errors hide in plain sight: the wrong method for the wrong company, a mismatched valuation date, a terminal growth rate that defies economics, a peer group that was never truly comparable.This report is a practitioner's field guide to those traps. Structured as a series of errors paired with clear, professional resolutions, it covers the full spectrum of valuation practice - methodology selection, Discounted Cash Flow, Net Asset Value, Comparable Companies and Transaction Multiples, Rule 11UA computations under the Income-tax Act, AIF portfolio valuations, fixed income securities, ESOPs, and convertible instruments.Distilled from over 300 real-world engagements across India, the USA, the UK, the UAE, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia, it is written for valuers, CFOs, investors, auditors, and finance professionals who want valuations that are not just computed - but defensible.

Valuation Errors and Its Resolution

“This book offers a novel and timely contribution to understanding decision-making in the digital age.&nbsp; Based on a unique blend of philosophy, neuroscience but also theological insights that are backed up with empirical evidence and metaphorical analogies, this book is a behavioral economics treasure that brings hallmarks of behavioral insights to life in a palpable way.&nbsp; A must-read for all who are curious about behavioral applications in a contemporary world that challenges the core of humanness with artificial intelligence, financial market volatility based on regulatory uncertainty but also geopolitical tensions refocusing us back to religious values.” –Julia M. Puaschunder, International University of Monaco
This book presents a thorough overview of contemporary investing challenges and analyses how behavioral and neuroeconomics research can inform our understanding of the investment landscape today. It brings forward an original conceptual framework – the Triadic system (Deterministic-Stochastic-Divine) to analyse our understanding of rational behaviour.
Combining economic theory with practical insights and applications, the book explores major obstacles to rational, informed investing, and how psychological biases shape financial and emotional decisions. Integrating perspectives from behavioral finance and neuroeconomics into the domain of personal finance, the book both advances research in this emergent field while outlining practical long-term wealth management strategies. Chapters consider topics such as the role of social media bombardment on investment decisions, postmoney theory and the concept of ‘buying life, buying health’, traditional investment planning versus the speed of fintech platforms, and the multifaceted impact of AI on investing. This will be a fascinating read for academics working on corporate finance and asset management, behavioral finance and economics, and artificial intelligence, as well as professionals working in these related areas.

The Human StandardHow Care, Trust and Respect Transform the WorkplaceIn today's fast-changing business environment, organisations invest millions in technology, systems and processes-yet many continue to struggle with disengaged employees, declining trust, poor teamwork, conflict, absenteeism and high staff turnover. The real challenge is rarely the systems; it is how people are led.In The Human Standard, leadership coach and Human Resources professional Kobus Willemse presents a refreshing and practical approach that places people back at the centre of organisational success. Drawing on almost four decades of executive HR experience, together with insights from neuroscience, psychology and behavioural science, he demonstrates that sustainable business performance is built on three essential human needs: Care, Trust and Respect (CTR).Rather than offering another management theory, this book provides a practical leadership framework that any organisation can implement. Through real workplace examples, reflective questions and actionable strategies, readers will learn how to create psychologically safe environments, build trust-based relationships, improve accountability, reduce conflict, strengthen employee engagement and develop high-performing teams.The Human Standard challenges leaders to move beyond managing policies and procedures toward leading people with intentionality, consistency and genuine influence. It explains why the brain responds so powerfully to care, trust and respect, and how these principles directly impact motivation, productivity, innovation and organisational culture.Whether you are a CEO, executive, HR professional, business owner, manager, supervisor or team leader, this book offers practical tools that can immediately improve leadership effectiveness and workplace performance.If you believe that people are an organisation's greatest asset-but want to know how to unlock their full potential-The Human Standard provides the roadmap.Because when people thrive, organisations flourish. And when leaders consistently demonstrate Care, Trust and Respect, they don't merely manage performance-they transform lives, teams and businesses.

The Human Standard

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.
