Mentre il profilo delle nostre società veniva profondamente modificato dall'impatto della tecnologia, della finanza e della globalizzazione, ci siamo dimenticati dell'uguaglianza. Ma senza uguaglianza la stessa crescita rallenta e le crepe nella coesione sociale alimentano i populismi, mettendo a rischio la stabilità democratica.

Increasingly, we are witnessing popular uprisings around the globe that, contrary to historical insurrections confined to less developed countries and poverty, now share common banners of struggle such as inflation, inequality, elite abuse, immigration, all at the heart of globalization and capitalism which, at the risk of losing its monopolistic and privileged position of the last four decades, requires equally dramatic adjustments.

In 2020, Emma Holten read an article stating that women were a net ‘deficit’ to society. Women apparently took more than they gave: they took more parental leave, frequently worked part-time, and typically worked lower paying jobs in the public sector. How did we get here? How are the contributions of half the population seen as a loss? In Deficit, Emma Holten traces how economic thinkers – from the Enlightenment onwards – created a value framework that left out ‘women’s work’ and acts of care.

Libéral classique, farouche défenseur de la liberté sous toutes ses formes, Frédéric Bastiat démontre dans les Sophismes économiques les bienfaits de la liberté et les méfaits de la contrainte dans les échanges économiques. Il va reprendre les arguments les plus communs de ses contradicteurs et en démontrer la tartuferie, n'hésitant pas parfois à les pousser jusqu'à l'absurde.

En este libro Máximo E. Jaramillo Molina detalla cómo la narrativa meritocrática resulta funcional para legitimar la extrema acumulación a la par de la pobreza extrema.

H. G. Wells, one of the 20th Century’s greatest writers—author of The Time Machine, War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man—wrote The Open Conspiracy to express his ideas about how a peaceful and cooperative world community could bring happiness and prosperity to all the inhabitants of the earth. Wars would no longer be fought and hunger would not rear its ugly head. Writing shortly after World War One, he writes of the horrible waste of life and immense suffering that extreme nationalism brought to Europe.

The US racial wealth gap is large, and it's compounding. It's time to close it. Minding the Wealth Gap shines a light on people doing this important work and explores how you can get involved too. Generations of public and private practices have left Black households $15 trillion and 400 years behind white households. Minding the Wealth Gap is both a powerful catalyst and a call to arms, urging America's entrepreneurs, executives, government officials, and other leaders to join these efforts and take meaningful steps toward a more equitable future for all.

Un análisis brillante y valiente sobre el verdadero origen de las desigualdades económicas. Los resultados socioeconómicos difieren enormemente entre individuos, grupos y países. Se han ofrecido muchas razones para justificar este fenómeno. Algunos creen que los menos afortunados son víctimas de los más privilegiados; otros piensan que las desigualdades responden a factores genéticos. Thomas Sowell, en cambio, cuestiona la extendida idea de que la explicación de estas diferencias pueda reducirse a un único factor.

Una provocadora refutación de los tabúes y de los clichés moralizantes sobre el enriquecimiento A la mayoría de las personas les gustaría ser ricas, aunque no lo confiesen. En nuestro mundo ser adinerado es sinónimo de ser malo y los afanes económicos crean mala conciencia entre quienes los albergan. Sin embargo, el filósofo Javier Hernández-Pacheco sostiene en este ensayo que, aunque resulte escandalosa, la pretensión de enriquecimiento es expresión de la más noble humanidad.

Taxes connect us to one another, to the common good, and to the future. This is a book about taxes: who pays what and who gets what. More than that, it’s about the role of government, about citizenship and our collective well-being, about the Canada we want. The contributors, leading Canadian practitioners and scholars, explore how taxes have become a political “no-go zone” and how changes in taxation are changing Canada. They challenge the view that any tax is a bad tax and provide broad directions for fairer and smarter approaches.

In this groundbreaking and provocative treatise, Alexander C. Karp, co-founder and chief executive officer of Palantir Technologies, and Nicholas W. Zamiska, head of corporate affairs at the company, offer a searing critique of our collective abandonment of creative and cultural ambition. They argue that in order for the West to maintain its geopolitical advantage—and the freedoms that we take for granted—the software industry must redirect its attention to our most urgent challenges and rebuild its relationship with government.

"Ein unverzichtbarer Leitfaden für alle, die die Zukunft aktiv mitgestalten wollen." Claudia Kemfert Inmitten zahlreicher Krisen und verschärfter gesellschaftlicher Debatten verlieren gerade viele Menschen die Hoffnung auf eine gute Zukunft. Wir scheinen vor einer riskanten Wahl zu stehen: Retten wir die deutsche Wirtschaft, sorgen wir für ein auskömmliches Leben für alle, oder verhindern wir gerade noch die Klimakatastrophe? Ein Team renommierter Expert*innen des Club of Rome und des Wuppertal Instituts widerlegt diese Scheinalternativen.

During the twentieth century, Vietnam and Poland were both victims not only of devastating wars, but also of socialist planned economies that destroyed whatever war hadn’t already. In 1990, Vietnam was still one of the poorest countries in the world, while Poland was one of the poorest in Europe. But in the three decades since then, both countries have drastically improved their citizens’ standards of living and escaped the vicious cycle of national poverty.

In Femonomics, Low examines the hidden economic trade-offs and trade-ups women face and the ways they can enjoy a better deal at work, in life, and at home. She applies economic principles like personal utility function (how we individually maximize profit and joy) and constrained optimization (making the best choice within external limits) to address uniquely female concerns (like the cost of a biological clock). She answers the questions she receives every day from students, colleagues, and journalists behind the scenes.

Something's gone badly awry with environmentalism. We faithfully separate our waste into different streams, but wonder whether it really makes a difference. Global companies announce their commitment to carbon negativity while simultaneously sponsoring oil conferences. American businesses, communities, and individuals assiduously measure their carbon footprints, then implement voluntary emissions-reduction programs, all while trumpeting their do-gooderism. The problem is, none of this will make a dent in solving the civilizational threat of climate change.
