The market / Matthew Watson (2018)

Públic ISBD Títol : The market Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Matthew Watson Editorial : Newcastle upon Tyne, UK : Agenda Publishing Ltd. Data de publicació : 2018 Nombre de pàgines : viii, 174 p. ll. : il., Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-911116-60-8 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Mercats financers Política econòmica Classificació : 5 Mercats financers. Borsa de valors Resum : We have become accustomed to economists and politicians talking about "market forces" as if they are immutable laws of the universe. But what exactly is "the market"? Originally an abstract idea from economic theory - the locus of supply and demand - it has come to inform the way we speak about our relationship to the economic system as a whole. Matthew Watson unpacks the concept to ask what does it really mean to allow ourselves to submit to market forces. And does economic theory really provide insights into the market institutions that shape our everyday life? In tackling these questions, the book provides a major contribution to a deeper appreciation of the dominant economic language of our time, challenging the idea that we can simply defer to the "logic of the market" Nota de contingut : Inclou Glossari de termes, bibliografia i índex Permalink : https://bibliotecatriasfargas.cat/pmb/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=3 The market [text imprès] / Matthew Watson . - Newcastle upon Tyne, UK : Agenda Publishing Ltd., 2018 . - viii, 174 p. : il., ; 24 cm.

Everyday Economics / Coutler, Steve (2017)

Públic ISBD Títol : Everyday Economics : A user's guide to the Modern Economy Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Coutler, Steve, Autor Editorial : Newcastle upon Tyne, UK : Agenda Publishing Ltd. Data de publicació : 2017 Nombre de pàgines : 200 p. ll. : il., gràf. Dimensions : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-911116-36-3 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economia Classificació : 00 Economia Resum : Much of economics is a top-down analysis that simplifies and reduces the huge varieties between individuals to a predictable range of characteristics that lend themselves to systematic analysis. This book eschews this conventional perspective, which sees national economies as simply agglomerations of the activities of millions of people, and instead explores the role played by the individual in the economy, in particular, how the individual experiences the economy. In so doing, the book is able to illuminate the economic landscape for the non-technical reader in a much more engaging and accessible way. Steve Coulter examines those areas of our lives that most direcly connect with the economy - jobs, education, healthcare, housing, personal finance, welfare, consumption - and explores how the individual choices we make are determined. He shows how the things we experience, need and consume fit into a fast-changing and interdependent global economic setting and highlights the role of government and markets in shaping our lives Nota de contingut : Inclou Índex Permalink : https://bibliotecatriasfargas.cat/pmb/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=3 Everyday Economics : A user's guide to the Modern Economy [text imprès] / Coutler, Steve, Autor . - Newcastle upon Tyne, UK : Agenda Publishing Ltd., 2017 . - 200 p. : il., gràf. ; 23 cm.

Whatever it takes / Papaconstatinou, George (2019)

Públic ISBD Títol : Whatever it takes : The battle for post-crisis Europe Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Papaconstatinou, George, Autor Editorial : Newcastle upon Tyne, UK : Agenda Publishing Ltd. Data de publicació : 2019 Col·lecció : Comparative Political Economy Nombre de pàgines : 224 p. ll. : il. gràf. Dimensions : 21 cm. ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-911116-98-1 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Europa Europa -- Política econòmica Classificació : 01(4) Ciència econòmica-Europa Resum : For generations, Europeans have become accustomed to rising prosperity, an increasingly supportive social safety net and the expectation that each generation will fare better than the last. Europe has built a social model that is second to none, and fashioned a continent of disparate nations into a community that shares common values with democratic institutions that are the envy of the world. Yet, Europe, as a common project is increasingly questioned by its citizens. The emphasis on solidarity, the driving force behind the social and economic integration, has given way to suspicion and nationalism. Openness and tolerance are strained by xenophobic, anti-immigrant sentiments, while populists and extremists set the agenda and dominate the policy debate. European countries have borne the brunt of the global economic forces that have strained its institutions and capacity to respond appropriately. Characterised by uncertainty and delay both in handling the Euro crisis, Greece's ongoing economic woes, Brexit and now a migrant crisis, Europe is at a crossroads in its development: a restructuring at the very least, if not a new settlement of power within the union, is on the cards. This book will attempt to understand what "post-crisis Europe" will look like, and what the opportunities are to rethink its economic, social and institutional architecture as well as to address the nagging democratic deficit that undermines its legitimacy as a democratic entity. George Papaconstantinou is uniquely placed to offer commentary on the machinations of the union and its internal behaviour. Appointed Greek Finance Minister by Papandreou in the newly formed government in 2009, he played a key role in the Greek crisis, negotiating the first bail-out with the Troika.

Blockchain and the digital economy / Steinmetz, Fred (2020)

Públic ISBD Títol : Blockchain and the digital economy : the socio-economic impact of blockchain technology Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Steinmetz, Fred, Autor ; Ante, Lennart, Autor ; Fiedler, Ingo, Autor Editorial : Newcastle upon Tyne, UK : Agenda Publishing Ltd. Data de publicació : 2020 Nombre de pàgines : 208 p. ll. : il., gràf. Dimensions : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-7882-1225-0 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economia Classificació : 00 Economia Resum : Blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt digital interaction across our economy and society. As the internet has changed our lives, the potential for blockchain and distributed ledger technologies to do the same is considerable. Fred Steinmetz, Lennart Ante and Ingo Fiedler assess this rapidly developing technology and its imminent economic and societal impact. The ideas behind blockchain technology stem from an open-source movement and build on existing technology to facilitate the exchange of value in general and assets in particular via a protocol on top of the internet. Current platform-based business structures face the risk of being replaced by evolving decentralized ecosystems and individuals are set to become empowered by sovereignty over their digital data and footprints. The book begins by explaining the key concepts of blockchain technology and presents an overview of the involved technical and economic elements. These form the basis for a discussion of the socio-economic implications of this new technology. This is followed by an in-depth analysis of significant case studies in the sectors of energy, digital identity, capital markets, logistics and gambling that outline the risks and benefits of the technology. The book strives to be non-technical and accessible, and to demystify the functionalities of blockchains and their potential for a range of readers in the wider social sciences.
