Story
Governments today in both Europe and the United States have succeeded in casting government spending as reckless wastefulness that has made the economy worse. In contrast, they have advanced a policy of draconian budget cuts - austerity - to solve the financial crisis. We are told that we have all lived beyond our means and now need to tighten our belts. This view conveniently forgets where all that debt came from. Not from an orgy of government spending, but as the direct result of bailing out, recapitalizing, and adding liquidity to the broken banking system.

Story
The independence of the Federal Reserve is considered a cornerstone of its identity, crucial for keeping monetary policy decisions free of electoral politics. But do we really understand what is meant by "Federal Reserve independence"? Using scores of examples from the Fed's rich history, The Power and Independence of the Federal Reserve shows that much common wisdom about the nation's central bank is inaccurate.

Story
An eye-opening account of how Congress today really works - and doesn’t - that follows the dramatic journey of the sweeping financial reform bill enacted in response to the Great Crash of 2008. The founding fathers expected Congress to be the most important branch of government and gave it the most power. When Congress is broken - as its justifiably dismal approval ratings suggest - so is our democracy.

Story
In one lifetime GDP, or gross domestic product, has ballooned from a narrow economic tool into a global article of faith. It is our universal yardstick of progress. As The Little Big Number demonstrates, this spells trouble. While economies and cultures measure their performance by it, GDP ignores central facts such as quality, costs, and purpose.

Story
In this incisive new book, Michael Mandelbaum argues that the era marked by an expansive American foreign policy is coming to an end. During the seven decades from the U.S. entry into World War II in 1941 to the present, economic constraints rarely limited what the United States did in the world. Now that will change. The country's soaring deficits, fueled by the huge costs of the financial crash and of its entitlement programs - Social Security and Medicare - will compel a more modest American international presence.

Story
Con un bilancio di 280 miliardi di dollari e più di 10.000 dipendenti, la Banca mondiale è l'istituzione leader nella lotta alla povertà, eppure molti la accusano di aggravare il divario tra paesi ricchi e paesi poveri. Poche istituzioni scontano una percezione pubblica così distante dalla loro "missione". A cosa si deve questo scarto? Alla mancanza di informazione sul suo operato? All'inadeguatezza della Banca di fronte a un contesto mondiale in rapida evoluzione? O al prevalere, nella sua agenda, di interessi diversi da quelli dei paesi più poveri?

Story
We Are Better Than This fundamentally reframes budget debates in the United States. Author Edward D. Kleinbard explains how the public's preoccupation with tax policy alone has obscured any understanding of government's ability to complement the private sector through investment and insurance programs that enhance the general welfare and prosperity of our society at large.

Un'economia sommersa che secondo le stime Istat assorbe circa 250 miliardi di euro, ovvero il 17% della ricchezza nazionale, un fenomeno di massa legato anche alle disfunzioni dell'amministrazione pubblica e alla struttura del nostro sistema produttivo, nonché alla cultura e alla storia del nostro paese. Il volume espone tutto quello che si sa su un secolo di evasione fiscale in Italia: chi, come, quanto, perché, e indica i possibili rimedi a questo grave problema economico e sociale.

Story
"Una tantum" e ticket, investimenti e agevolazioni fiscali: con l'ineluttabilità del succedersi delle stagioni, la finanziaria diviene ogni autunno il tema centrale della politica italiana, l'appuntamento capace di incidere in modo significativo sulla nostra vita quotidiana. Introdotta nella nostra legislazione nel 1978, la "manovra" è stata uno strumento politico determinante sia negli anni '80, quando rappresentò il mezzo perverso per alimentare la spesa pubblica, sia successivamente, quando divenne il tramite virtuoso del risanamento.

Story
Dapprima ignorati, poi osteggiati, quindi accolti come benefattori del capitalismo finanziario barcollante, infine colpiti da pesanti perdite nella crisi finanziaria internazionale: i fondi sovrani sono saliti alla ribalta dell'opinione pubblica con investimenti eclatanti in aziende degli Stati Uniti e dell'Unione Europea. I paesi del Golfo, Singapore, Cina, Libia, Russia, nonché la Norvegia, grazie ai loro ingenti surplus energetici e commerciali, sono i principali protagonisti di questo scenario. Come nascono i fondi sovrani? Quali sono le loro strategie di investimento?
