Boles D: The Nearest Hand

Silver, Stimulus, Silicon, and the Five-Century Story of Who Gets Paid First

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;

Critical and Post-Keynesian Perspectives

A History of Modern Macroeconomics

The award-winning author of The Entrepreneurial State and Mission Economy offers a scathing indictment of a global financial system that incentivizes taking over making and extraction over creation "A stimulating analysis of the underlying causes of inequality and growth which forces us to confront long-held beliefs about how economies work and who benefits." -Martin Wolf, Financial Times The Value of Everything is a penetrating and passionate argument that modern capitalism has failed to clearly delineate between value creation and value extraction. As economist Mariana Mazzucato shows, from Silicon Valley to Wall Street and beyond, foggy notions of value create confusion between rents and profits, reward extractors rather than creators, and distort the measurements of growth and GDP. Asset management companies profit exorbitantly off of income generated elsewhere; big pharma uses value-based pricing to justify astronomically high prices for vital medicines that are publicly funded. In the process, innovation suffers and inequality widens. Now updated with a new preface, The Value of Everything reignites the debate over how we measure value in our society-and in so doing, shows how we can shape our economy to be more innovative and inclusive.

The Value of Everything

Evidence over Ideology: Thomas Sowell's Intellectual LegacyEconomist and social theorist Thomas Sowell has shaped how millions think about markets, culture, and public policy through bestselling books, syndicated columns, and viral videos that have reached new generations.This collection brings together leading scholars--Steven Pinker, Condoleezza Rice, Niall Ferguson, John H. Cochrane, Glenn C. Loury, Roland G. Fryer Jr., and others--to honor Sowell's extraordinary career spanning six decades and more than 40 books.These essays don't just celebrate--they extend and challenge Sowell's ideas with fresh research and contemporary analysis, applying his core insights to today's most pressing questions: <ul><li>Culture and Economics: Glenn C. Loury and Roland G. Fryer Jr. explore how cultural forces shape economic outcomes, testing Sowell's claims about the relationships between norms, institutions, and inequality.</li><li>Migration and Ethnicity: Nancy Qian follows Sowell's tracks to analyze how immigrant communities develop economically, examining cultural transmission across generations.</li><li>Developing Economies: Paola Sapienza applies Sowell's framework to contemporary challenges in Vietnam and other developing nations, examining state-owned enterprises, industrial policy, and the knowledge problem in centralized planning.</li><li>Education and Human Development: Eric A. Hanushek and Margaret E. Raymond apply Sowell's framework to debates about school choice, charter schools, and what drives student achievement.</li><li>Knowledge and Public Policy: Steven Pinker and others examine the limits of expertise and how incentive structures shape decision-making in government and institutions.</li><li>Late-Talking Children: Stephen Camarata examines how Sowell challenged medical orthodoxy through personal research on bright children who talk late, questioning expert consensus even beyond economics.</li></ul>Sowell has made an impact by following evidence wherever it leads--regardless of inconvenient truths. This volume shows why his analytical approach remains essential to policy professionals, scholars, and anyone questioning conventional wisdom about inequality, education, and government intervention.

Design, Production and After-lives

A challenge to incentivization as a dominant framework for understanding and governing people From corporate management and consumer behavior to public health and climate policy, incentives are widely treated as a neutral and effective way to shape how people act. In this book, Guus Dix shows that incentives are not simple policy nudges; they lull us into a passive understanding of ourselves as being merely responsive to changes others make to our environment. They foster a politics of incremental tweaks to a socially and ecologically destructive economic system that we are expected to accept without question. Dix argues that it is time to challenge the reign of incentives in contemporary science and public life. Dix traces the evolution of the incentive, from the engineering of performance charts and rewards for factory workers to combating gridlock at Britain’s National Health Service. He describes the function of incentives under socialism, theories of adjustment incentives developed at the Harvard Business School to manage employees, and incentivizing whole economies—both socialist and capitalist. He shows that incentivization is a distinct way of wielding power. Incentives have become part of a quasi-universal governing philosophy that keeps us from addressing such major issues as poverty and the climate crisis. Finally, Dix analyzes the limits of incentivization, arguing that being governed by incentives keeps us from considering government policies that have the potential to bring about meaningful and transformative change.

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.

Milton Friedman and Economic Debate in the United States

The third installment in the definitive account of the famed economist's role in economic debate--and his lasting influence on economic policy. Milton Friedman is widely recognized as one of the most significant contributors to economics in the modern age. Yet no previous study has distilled Friedman's vast body of writings into an authoritative account of his research, his policy views, and his interventions in public debate. Through his sweeping series on the most influential economist of the second half of the twentieth century, Edward Nelson closes this gap: Milton Friedman and EconomicDebate in the United States is the defining narrative on the famed public intellectual--the first to grapple comprehensively with Friedman's research output, economic framework, and legacy. Volume 3 chronicles Friedman's activities from 1973 to 1976, encompassing his final years at the University of Chicago and a period that saw his further ascension in national prominence. In the mid-1970s, economic news dominated American political discourse as the nation endured double-digit inflation and recession. It was during this time that Friedman's views became a center of economic debate in both the research world and public debate, while his explanation for "stagflation" formed part of the critique of stabilization policy that would lead to his 1976 Nobel Prize. Nelson details the controversies that Friedman faced in the media--including his contrarian stances on inflation's cure, the economic implications of oil price shocks, and the social responsibility of business--and how Friedman concluded that the world needed a "new Adam Smith" to press the case for free markets. Drawing upon a large body of documentary sources, interviews with dozens of the people closest to Friedman, and his own expertise in Friedman's research area of monetary analysis, Nelson provides the definitive account of the formative (and uneven) events in Friedman's foray into life as a public intellectual and how his research permanently shifted economic thinking.
