Story
Who is the richest person in the world, ever? Does where you were born affect how much money you'll earn over a lifetime? How would we know? Why, beyond the idle curiosity, do these questions even matter? In The Haves and the Have-Nots, Branko Milanovic, one of the world's leading experts on wealth, poverty, and the gap that separates them, explains these and other mysteries of how wealth is unevenly spread throughout our world, now and through time.

Story
Thomas Piketty's work has proved that unfettered markets lead to increasing inequality. Without meaningful regulation, capitalist economies will concentrate wealth in an ever smaller number of hands. Armed with this knowledge, democratic societies face a defining challenge: fending off a new aristocracy. For years Piketty has wrestled with this problem in his monthly newspaper column, which pierces the surface of current events to reveal the economic forces underneath.

Story
In the graveyard of economic ideology, dead ideas still stalk the land. The recent financial crisis laid bare many of the assumptions behind market liberalism--the theory that market-based solutions are always best, regardless of the problem. For decades, their advocates dominated mainstream economics, and their influence created a system where an unthinking faith in markets led many to view speculative investments as fundamentally safe.

Story
Proper stewardship of natural assets and liabilities is a matter of planetary urgency: natural resources have the potential either to transform the poorest countries or to tear them apart, while the carbon emissions and agricultural follies of the rich world could further impoverish them. The Plundered Planet charts a course between unchecked profiteering on the one hand and environmental romanticism on the other to offer realistic and sustainable solutions to dauntingly complex issues.

Story
Ogni comunità ha bisogno di giustificare le proprie disuguaglianze: l'uomo deve trovare le ragioni di queste disparità per non rischiare di vedere crollare l'intero edificio politico e sociale. In questa chiave, anche molte ideologie del passato non appaiono più così irragionevoli, se paragonate al nostro presente. Conoscere la molteplicità delle traiettorie e delle biforcazioni della storia può infatti aiutarci a interrogare le fondamenta delle nostre istituzioni e a intuire le loro trasformazioni.

Story
The Narendra Modi government's sudden demonetization of '500 and '1,000 notes in November 2016 failed to put a dent in the black economy but caused untold hardship to hundreds of millions of Indians. It has crippled the country's economy for a long time to come. In this book, Arun Kumar, the country's leading authority on the black economy, tells us why Modi's gambit failed.

Story
The financial crisis that crested in 2008 destroyed the credibility of the economic thinking that had guided policymakers for a generation. But what will take its place? In How the Economy Works, one of our leading economists provides a jargon-free exploration of the current crisis, offering a powerful argument for how economics must change to get us out of it. Roger E. A. Farmer traces the swings between classical and Keynesian economics since the early 20th century, gracefully explaining the elements of both theories.

Story
In The Silo Effect, award-winning journalist Gillian Tett examines the structural development of institutions such as UBS, Sony and the Bank of England. While the world is increasingly interlinked in some senses, it remains profoundly fragmented in others. As organisations become larger and more global than ever before, they are apt to be divided and sub-divided into numerous different departments to facilitate productivity. However, there is a trap to the inevitability of these silos.

Story
What is the GDP, and what does it mean? Why does the stock market go down when interest rates go up? What causes a dreaded recession? Economics impacts everyone's life, but most people take on faith what they read in the newspaper. Now, for anyone who doesn't know much about economics, noted economist Todd Buchholz explains it all simply and clearly. With refreshing wit and irreverence, Buchholz takes listeners by the hand and reveals the basic rules behind everything from food prices to trade deficits.

Story
The recent economic crisis was a dramatic reminder that capitalism can both produce and destroy. It's a system that by its very nature encourages predators and creators, locusts and bees. But, as Geoff Mulgan argues in this compelling, imaginative, and important book, the economic crisis also presents a historic opportunity to choose a radically different future for capitalism, one that maximizes its creative power and minimizes its destructive force.

L'imperativo della nostra economia è la crescita - continua, inarrestabile, vertiginosa. È il metro con cui giudichiamo il valore delle nostre società e il prodotto interno lordo è il suo indicatore principale, lo specchio magico che ci dice quanto le nostre economie sono belle e sane, senza, dirci nulla su quanto stiamo bene noi e quanto staranno bene i nostri figli.

Achtsamkeit und Nachhaltigkeit sind zu Modebegriffen geworden. Sie sind aber ebenso zentrale Pfeiler der aktuellen Suffizienz-Bewegung und der jahrtausendealten Lehre des Buddha. Mit Niko Paech und Manfred Folkers loten zwei Experten aus, welche Potenziale die beiden Denkrichtungen mitbringen, um unseren zerstörerischen Wachstumspfad zu verlassen. Über eine provokante Abrechnung mit den Wachstumstreibern kapitalistischen Wirtschaftens und das Besinnen auf die Tugenden eines konsumbefreiten Lebens entwickeln sie eine "Kultur des Genug".
