Economic thought / Heinz D. Kurz (2016)

Públic ISBD Títol : Economic thought : a brief history Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Heinz D. Kurz Altre editor : New York : Columbia University Press Data de publicació : 2016 Nombre de pàgines : 208 p. Dimensions : 22 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-231-17258-5 Nota general : Inclou índex Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economia -- Història Classificació : 00 Economia Resum : In this concise yet comprehensive history, Heinz D. Kurz traces the long arc of economic thought from its emergence in ancient Greece to its systematic presentation among the classical thinkers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to the influential work of scholars such as Paul Samuelson and Kenneth J. Arrow. With a keen eye for how economic insights are acquired, lost, and reborn, Kurz focuses on the dynamic individuals who give old ideas new life and the historical events that provoke different approaches and theories. Over the course of this journey, Kurz explains what Adam Smith meant by the "invisible hand"; how Karl Marx's "law of motion" works in capitalist economies; the roots of the Austrian economists' emphasis on the problems of information, incomplete knowledge, and uncertainty; John Maynard Keynes's principle of effective demand and economic stabilization; and the insights and challenges offered by growth theory, welfare economics, game theory, and more. He concludes with a deft summation of world economists' major concerns today and their critical relation to world events.

Building the new american economy / Sachs, Jeffrey D. (2017)

Públic ISBD Títol : Building the new american economy : smart, fair & sustainable Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Sachs, Jeffrey D., Autor Editorial : New York : Columbia University Press Data de publicació : 2017 Nombre de pàgines : 130 p. ll. : il., gràf. Dimensions : 21 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-231-18405-2 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economia -- Estats Units d'Amèrica Classificació : 00 Economia Resum : In this passionate and powerful book-part manifesto, part plan of action-the renowned economist Jeffrey D. Sachs offers a practical strategy to move America, seemingly more divided than ever, toward a new consensus: sustainable development. Sustainable development is a holistic approach that emphasizes economic, social, and environmental objectives in shaping policy. In focusing too much on economic growth, the United States has neglected rising economic inequality and dire environmental threats. Now, even growth is imperiled. Sachs explores issues that have captivated the nation and political debate, including infrastructure, trade deals, energy policy, the proper size and role of government, the national debt, and income inequality. Not only does he provide illuminating and accessible explanations of the forces at work in each case, but he also presents specific policy solutions. His argument rises above the pessimism born of political paralysis, economic stagnation, and partisanship to devise a brighter way forward, achievable both individually and collectively. In Building the New American Economy, Sachs shows how the United States can find a path to renewed economic progress that is fair and environmentally sustainable.

The age of sustainable development / Jeffrey Sachs (2015)

Públic ISBD Títol : The age of sustainable development Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Jeffrey Sachs Menció d'edició : 4a ed. Editorial : New York : Columbia University Press Data de publicació : 2015 Nombre de pàgines : xvi, 543 p. ll. : il., col., mapes Dimensions : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-231-17314-8 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Desenvolupament sostenible Classificació : 034 Desenvolupament de l'economia Resum : Jeffrey D. Sachs is one of the world's most perceptive and original analysts of global development. In this major new work he presents a compelling and practical framework for how global citizens can use a holistic way forward to address the seemingly intractable worldwide problems of persistent extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and political-economic injustice: sustainable development. Sachs offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Far more than a rhetorical exercise, this book is designed to inform, inspire, and spur action. Based on Sachs's twelve years as director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, his thirteen years advising the United Nations secretary-general on the Millennium Development Goals, and his recent presentation of these ideas in a popular online course, The Age of Sustainable Development is a landmark publication and clarion call for all who care about our planet and global justice.

Risk, choice and uncertainty / Szpiro, George S. (2020)

Públic ISBD Títol : Risk, choice and uncertainty : Three centuries of Economic decision-making Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Szpiro, George S., Autor Editorial : New York : Columbia University Press Data de publicació : 2020 Nombre de pàgines : 250 p ll. : il. Dimensions : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-231-19474-7 Nota general : Inclou bibliografia i índex Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economia -- Filosofia Història econòmica Classificació : 01 Ciència econòmica Resum : At its core, economics is about making decisions. In the history of economic thought, great intellectual prowess has been exerted toward devising exquisite theories of optimal decision making in situations of constraint, risk, and scarcity. Yet not all of our choices are purely logical, and so there is a longstanding tension between those emphasizing the rational and irrational sides of human behavior. One strand develops formal models of rational utility maximizing while the other draws on what behavioral science has shown about our tendency to act irrationally. In Risk, Choice, and Uncertainty, George G. Szpiro offers a new narrative of the three-century history of the study of decision making, tracing how crucial ideas have evolved and telling the stories of the thinkers who shaped the field. Szpiro examines economics from the early days of theories spun from anecdotal evidence to the rise of a discipline built around elegant mathematics through the past half century's interest in describing how people actually behave. Considering the work of Locke, Bentham, Jevons, Walras, Friedman, Tversky and Kahneman, Thaler, and a range of other thinkers, he sheds light on the vast scope of discovery since Bernoulli first proposed a solution to the St. Petersburg Paradox. Presenting fundamental mathematical theories in easy-to-understand language, Risk, Choice, and Uncertainty is a revelatory history for readers seeking to grasp the grand sweep of economic thought.

Non-Consensus investing / Bhansali, Rupal J. (2019)

Públic ISBD Títol : Non-Consensus investing : being right when everyone else is wrong Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Bhansali, Rupal J., Autor Editorial : New York : Columbia University Press Data de publicació : 2019 Nombre de pàgines : 280 p. ll. : il., gràf. Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-231-19230-9 Nota general : Inclou Índex Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Inversions Classificació : 7 Inversions i gestió de carteres Resum : At a time when many proclaim the death of active investing, Rupal J. Bhansali, global contrarian, makes a clarion call for its renaissance. Non-consensus thinking has resulted in breakthrough successes in science, sports, and Silicon Valley. Bhansali shows how to apply it to the world of investing to improve one's odds of achieving above-average returns with below-average risks. Her upside-down investment approach focuses on avoiding losers instead of picking the winners, asking the right questions instead of knowing the right answers, and scoring upset victories to achieve the greatest bang for one's research buck. Through a series of counterintuitive concepts and contemporary case studies from her firsthand experience of investing in fifty markets around the globe, Bhansali describes how to perform differentiated fundamental research to uncover mispriced stocks. She candidly shares her failures and mistakes as well as her successes and triumphs. She also weaves in her personal journey, recounting how she overcame the odds to succeed in a male-dominated profession and offering advice on breaking the glass ceiling. Non-Consensus Investing is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand why active investing disappointed and how it can succeed-analysts and amateurs, fiduciaries and financial advisors, aspiring and practicing money managers, as well as students or investment enthusiasts.
