Mission economics / Mazzucato, Mariana (2020)

Públic ISBD Títol : Mission economics : a moonshot guide to changing capitalism Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Mazzucato, Mariana, Autor Menció d'edició : 1a ed Editorial : Penguin Books Data de publicació : 2020 Nombre de pàgines : 244 p. ll. : il., gràf. Dimensions : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-241-43531-1 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economia Classificació : 01 Ciència econòmica Resum : The extraordinary efforts that took mankind to the moon 50 years ago were more than a scientific feat of aeronautics. They required new forms of collaboration between the public sector (notably, NASA) and private companies. This book asks: what if the same level of boldness - the boldness that set inspirational goals, took risks and explicitly recognized that this requires large spending but will be worthwhile in terms of long-term growth - was applied to the biggest problems of our time, climate change, disease and inequality, to name only a few? Mariana Mazzucato argues that applying innovation to societal goals and structuring government budgets more explicitly to the long-term, as the moon programme did, we can do government differently.

Greed is dead / Collier, Paul M. (2021)

Públic ISBD Títol : Greed is dead : Politics after individualism Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Collier, Paul M., Autor ; J. A. (John Anderson) Kay, Autor Editorial : Penguin Books Data de publicació : 2021 Nombre de pàgines : 194 Dimensions : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-14-199416-1 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Història econòmica Classificació : 017 Història econòmica Resum : Two of the UK's leading economists call for an end to extreme individualism as the engine of prosperity Throughout history, successful societies have created institutions which channel both competition and co-operation to achieve complex goals of general benefit. These institutions make the difference between societies that thrive and those paralyzed by discord, the difference between prosperous and poor economies. Such societies are pluralist but their pluralism is disciplined. Successful societies are also rare and fragile. We could not have built modernity without the exceptional competitive and co-operative instincts of humans, but in recent decades the balance between these instincts has become dangerously skewed: mutuality has been undermined by an extreme individualism which has weakened co-operation and polarized our politics. Collier and Kay show how a reaffirmation of the values of mutuality could refresh and restore politics, business and the environments in which people live. Politics could reverse the moves to extremism and tribalism; businesses could replace the greed that has degraded corporate culture; the communities and decaying places that are home to many could overcome despondency and again be prosperous and purposeful. As the world emerges from an unprecedented crisis we have the chance to examine society afresh and build a politics beyond individualism.

The price of time / Chancellor, Edward (2023)

Públic ISBD Títol : The price of time : The real story of interest Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Chancellor, Edward, Autor Editorial : Penguin Books Data de publicació : 2023 Nombre de pàgines : 432 Dimensions : 21 ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-8020-6015-7 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economia Classificació : 00 Economia Resum : All economic and financial activities take place across time. Interest coordinates these activities. The story of capitalism is thus the story of interest: the price that individuals, companies and nations pay to borrow money. In The Price of Time, Edward Chancellor traces the history of interest from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia, through debates about usury in Restoration Britain and John Law ' s ill-fated Mississippi scheme, to the global credit booms of the twenty-first century. We generally assume that high interest rates are harmful, but Chancellor argues that, whenever money is too easy, financial markets become unstable. He takes the story to the present day, when interest rates have sunk lower than at any time in the five millennia since they were first recorded - including the extraordinary appearance of negative rates in Europe and Japan - and highlights how this has contributed to profound economic insecurity and financial fragility. Chancellor reveals how extremely low interest rates not only create asset price inflation but are also largely responsible for weak economic growth, rising inequality, zombie companies, elevated debt levels and the pensions crises that have afflicted the West in recent years - conditions under which economies cannot possibly thrive. At the same time, easy money in China has inflated an epic real estate bubble, accompanied by the greatest credit and investment boom in history. As the global financial system edges closer to yet another crisis, Chancellor shows that only by understanding interest can we hope to face the challenges ahead.

The great crashes / Yueh, Linda (2023)

It's time we learned from them. 'Remarkably accessible' The Times There is very little that is certain in economics, except this: there will be another financial crisis. But while we may not be able to stop the next one, we can predict and contain it. The Great Crashes tells the stories of ten historic financial events - from the Wall Street Crash and the dot com boom and bust to the COVID pandemic - and what we can learn from them. Combining her clear-eyed analysis with compelling storytelling, renowned economist Professor Linda Yueh uses these meltdowns to extract a critical three-step framework to help us to recognise the early signs of a crash, mitigate the effects and even prevent them in the future. It is a book that offers urgent lessons for the modern world.
