This introduction to the economic history of the global economy and the process of globalization since 1850 tracks and explains changes in international trade, migration, and capital flows. All key indicators of globalization rose between 1850 and 1914 during the first wave of globalization.

The widening wealth gap is all too familiar to many Millennials and GenZers, especially when home ownership and the lack of debt seem like faraway fantasies. And it's no surprise when they only hold about 4.6% of the country's wealth while Boomers held 22% at around the same age. So what happened to the promise of the American Dream? In this entry of his celebrated Hidden History series, Thom Hartmann uncovers the rise of the American middle class through the progressive policies of FDR, through to its downfall with the increasing privatization and economic deregulations of the Reagan era.

What’s it like to start a company, build it to national success, and then see it sold out of bankruptcy? This is the true story of Greg Vetter. He and his brothers started their salad dressing company based on their mother’s secret recipe. Tessemae’s All Natural went from the Vetter kitchen, to local sensation, to national distribution. But the brothers quickly found out that starting a company is easy. Keeping it going is hard.

For the past several decades, politicians and economists thought that high levels of inequality were good for the economy. But because America’s middle class is now so weak, the US economy suffers from the kinds of problems that plague less-developed countries. As Hollowed Out explains, to have strong, sustainable growth, the economy needs to work for everyone and expand from the middle out. This new thinking has the potential to supplant trickle-down economics―the theory that was so wrong about inequality and our economy―and shape economic policymaking for generations.

As workers attempt new modes of employment in the era of the Great Resignation, they face a labor landscape that is increasingly uncertain and stubbornly unequal. With Handcrafted Careers, sociologist Eli Revelle Yano Wilson dives headfirst into the everyday lives of workers in the craft beer industry to address key questions facing American workers today: about what makes a good career, who gets to have one, and how careers progress without established models.

Over the past sixty years, businesses and government have increasingly offloaded financial risk onto US households. The toll has pushed tens of millions of people to the financial breaking point, worsened social inequity, and jeopardized US democracy. In Sharing Risk, consumer advocate and scholar Patricia A. McCoy draws on the nation’s traditions of risk sharing to argue that society should lift up families by pooling and spreading the financial risks that they now must bear alone.

Il prestigioso premio Nobel è universalmente riconosciuto come la più alta onorificenza scientifica e culturale del nostro tempo. Ma il "premio per l’Economia in memoria di Alfred Nobel", nato successivamente su iniziativa della Banca di Svezia, fin dall’inizio ha suscitato polemiche e contestazioni, persino tra gli stessi vincitori. Con questo premio aggiuntivo, infatti, la scienza economica è stata collocata sullo stesso piano della fisica, della chimica e della medicina, ossia di quegli ambiti della ricerca che Alfred Nobel reputava "i maggiori servizi resi all’umanità".

Tehnologia evoluează într‑un ritm exponențial, spune Azeem Azhar, iar noi nu ne vom putea adapta decât dacă ne însușim un ritm progresiv mai lent. Rezultatul?
