Evolutionary Economics and Social Complexity Science

This is the first book to present a new approach of institutional design as an evolutionary applied policy based on coherent conceptualization and methodology, and to study the actuality and implications of diversifying real/virtual community currencies. In contrast to a de facto standard theory, an institutional ecosystem can be composed of various institutions that continue to coexist with changing relative frequencies. In this view, diversified monetary institutions with local rules are feasible and realistic. Community currencies are worldwide attempts to redress such problems as financial instability, chronic stagnation, and decline of communities caused by globalization of the economy. Considering those alternative movements as a new type of policy, "evolutionist institutional design", this book clarifies the feasibility and significance of community currencies in the current era of globalization. The book also provides a better understanding than mainstream approaches of such platform institutions as money that determine fundamental means of cognition and action of interacting agents. Money is a symbolically generalized communication medium in the mesodomain that mediates between socioeconomic performance and patterns in the macrodomain and motives and cognitive frameworks in the microdomain. Conventional national systems of money and finance are platform institutions that determine basic replicators for a capitalistic market economy to evolve. In contrast, community currencies conveying both economic and social/cultural values are distinct platform institutions that are expected to endogenously change such basic replicators in outer and inner institutions for agents to a noncapitalistic market economy. These currencies are considered target institutions for "media design" in the framework of evolutionist institutional design.

Understanding China

This book sorts out the causes, consequences and the evolution path of China's economic reform process from the historical dimension of China's economic policy changes, from which the long-standing contradictions and conflicts between the two different models can be seen throughout the process, i.e. the market economy and the state-dominated economy (e.g., Lenin's 'special state capitalism') as well as the potential risks that will be brought by the pause of market and law reform on China's economic and social development. The dispute on the paths exists and will continue, which builds the great complexity and arduousness since China's Reform and Opening-up. This book is written by Chinese economist Jinglian Wu, which helps readers to understand the history and logic behind China's reform and opening-up, as well as the challenges China is facing.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE • WINNER OF THE 2025&nbsp;ZÓCALO&nbsp;BOOK PRIZE A humanitarian leader with more than two decades of experience working for the United Nations takes aim at the global food crisis—revealing how hunger anywhere affects lives everywhere and what steps we can take to change course. "This book should be required reading for the entire human race." —Jonathan Safran Foer, author of We Are the Weather At the turn of the twenty-first century, more than 150 countries pledged to eradicate hunger by 2030. But with only a few years left, we’re far from reaching that goal. Instead, hunger is on the rise—America itself recently experienced levels of food insecurity not seen since the Great Depression. How could the richest nation in the world have so many people going hungry? In The New Breadline, aid worker and activist Jean-Martin Bauer unravels this paradox. Bauer’s family fled to America during the terrors of the Duvalier dictatorship in Haiti. Now on the brink of mass starvation, Haiti and its grim history inspired Bauer to make food justice his life's work. During his long career with the UN, Bauer learned firsthand that the problem of hunger is always political—and like all political conditions, hunger, he knew, was something we could work to change. Drawing from his fieldwork in the most hunger-prone countries across the globe—from Haiti, where elites hoard imported French cheese, to Madagascar, where foreign corporations are snatching up valuable land from local farmers, to right here in America, where the lines at food banks continue to grow—Bauer weaves profound personal insight with a keen understanding of the structural systems of racism, classism, and sexism that thwart true progress in the battle against hunger. The New Breadline is an inspiring call to action to end what he persuasively argues is one of the greatest threats to our society, boldly envisioning a world where we can always feed ourselves and one another.

Hunger and Hope in the Twenty-First Century

The New Breadline

The purpose of this book is to reaffirm the significance of the link between taxation and public spending as essential to the very existence of the social contract and to the system of rights and duties on which social cooperation in a democracy is based. Drawing on ideas from economics, political science, and philosophy, the book advances the fundamental principle of fiscal democracy within a society governed by norms of reciprocity and cooperation. By examining the current economic and political order, where the public sector is deployed to preserve property values and sustain the capitalist economy, the narrative of neoliberalism is challenged through the reinstatement of fiscal democracy as a means of fulfilling the social contract.

Using a novel argument in support of Rawls’s property-owning democracy, this book presents a framework for a democratic welfare state that is both just and universal. It will be of interest to students and researchers in political economy, fiscal policy, and welfare economics.

Springer Climate

This book argues for the urgent need for evidence-based solutions to the climate crisis by bridging scientific progress, policy, and finance. It offers a comprehensive framework for achieving climate justice through green economics, sustainable financing, and equitable adaptation measures. Despite progress, global emissions continue to rise, and adaptation efforts remain inconsistent. The book assesses these gaps and proposes aligning economic incentives, financial instruments, and governance structures with climate goals.

Addressing the unequal burden of climate change, the volume further discusses mechanisms for inclusive green finance and equitable adaptation strategies. It also examines the impact of climate change on public health, advocating for integrated frameworks that prioritize prevention and resilience. The book calls for a shift from project-based funding to portfolio-level investments in clean energy and reforestation. Combining technology, social sciences, and economics, the book promotes community-driven solutions and effective communication strategies to strenghten informed, coordinated action toward a sustainable future.

India Studies in Business and Economics

This book is a collection of essays written to reflect analytical understanding of contemporary Indian economy in the backdrop of approaching deadline of 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Dedicated to the memory of late Professor Dhiresh Chandra Bhattacharya, a legendary teacher, an author of a&nbsp;pioneering Indian textbook on the economy of divided India, and the second President of the 
 Bangiya Arthaniti Prishad
 (Bengal Economic Association), this volume uses modern methodologies of economics and econometrics to reflect on prime issues facing the Indian economy. The theoretical and empirical research on some aspect of India’s economic development, have been analyzed by eminent scholars, with a focus on growth and structural change, reforms and macroeconomy, food and nutritional security, and sustainable development. The book examines the inclusive growth paradigm in India in the context of rising inequality in income and wealth distribution, and the tenets of longterm behavior of the economy in the context of GDP growth. It highlights the need of GDP growth to be juxtaposed against the imperatives of distributional challenges that the economy has been facing even after 75 years. The book is useful for the students and researchers of economics, in India and abroad, and points to the required policy initiatives to be undertaken by policy planners.
