Our obsession with land is the driving force behind human history. It has sparked revolutions and fuelled economic booms as well as financial crises. Land is the world's oldest and most important asset, and it governs the course of our lives more than any other form of wealth. But this immense power is also what makes it so dangerous. In The Land Trap, The Economist's Wall Street editor Mike Bird reveals a sweeping, global history that shows how fortunes have been built - or destroyed - all on the bedrock of land. It has become the linchpin of the world's banking system and it affects everything from soaring housing prices to geopolitical tensions. From the speculative land grabs of colonial America to China's modern-day real estate crisis, this gripping narrative shows how the economics of land can make and break families, businesses, and even entire nations. This is the book for anyone who wants to see beyond markets and money to the hidden game being played out on the ground beneath our feet.

Ekonómia nie je veda o číslach, grafoch a tabuľkách. Je to veda o ľuďoch. O tom, ako sme vykročili z jaskýň, začali spolupracovať a napokon pristáli na Mesiaci. Všetci, nielen študenti ekonómie, by mali poznať príbeh o pôvode našej prosperity. A spolu s ním aj odpovede na tri najdôležitejšie otázky ekonómie: Ako ľudia začali hrať hry s kladným súčtom, v ktorých vďaka spolupráci platí, že 1 + 1 = 3? Za akých podmienok je finančne úspešný človek zároveň aj spoločensky prospešný? A ako ceny prepájajú milióny mozgov naprieč celou planétou, čím umožňujú koordináciu bez koordinátora? Okrem odpovedí na tieto otázky nájdete v knihe zhrnuté aj poznatky pätnástich držiteľov Nobelovej ceny za ekonómiu a dozviete sa: • Prečo by sme mali prejavovať úctu podnikateľom, ktorí skrachovali? • Ako dokážeme na Slovensku v automobilovej fabrike vychovať ošípané? • Prečo je človek jediný druh, ktorý má vďaka väčšiemu počtu hladných krkov plnšie bruchá? • Ktorý ekonóm zachránil Rakúsko pred socializmom – a mohol zachrániť aj Slovensko? • Čo majú spoločné ekonómovia a netopiere? • Ako je možné, že nikto na svete nevie vyrobiť ceruzku? • Aký je rozdiel medzi ekonómiou atómov a ekonómiou bitov?

From the winners of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics Why would a man in Morocco who doesn't have enough to eat buy a television? Why do the poorest people in India spend 7 percent of their food budget on sugar? Does having lots of children actually make you poorer? This eye-opening book overturns the myths about what it is like to live on very little, revealing the unexpected decisions that millions of people make every day. Looking at some of the most paradoxical aspects of life below the poverty line - why the poor need to borrow in order to save, why incentives that seem effective to us may not be for them, and why, despite being more risk-taking than high financiers, they start businesses but rarely grow them - Banerjee and Duflo offer a new understanding of the surprising way the world really works.

How the world's oldest asset secretly shapes our modern economy. In The Land Trap, Mike Bird-Wall Street editor at The Economist-reveals how this ancient asset still exerts outsize influence over the modern world. From the speculative land grabs of colonial America to China's real estate crisis today, Bird shows how fortunes are built-and destroyed-on the bedrock of land. Tracing three centuries of history, Bird explores how land quietly became the linchpin of the global banking system, driving everything from soaring housing prices to rising geopolitical tensisons. As governments wrestle with inequality and land grows ever scarcer, The Land Trap offers a powerful new framework for understanding the hidden force behind today's most urgent challenges. This is the book for anyone who wants to see beyond markets and money to the real game being played on a foundation as old as civilization itself. Timely, provocative, and essential, The Land Trap will change how you see the ground beneath your feet.

Capturing the essence of history's most influential economists in enjoyable and illuminating biographical sketches, this book shows how the great economic thinkers are still relevant today. We live in the economy - and we are part of it. Living through a pandemic, governments had to work out how to put economies into a deep freeze without destroying them. Avoiding climate catastrophe means changing economies so that they don't bake the world. In explaining how economic thinking is indispensable to tackling these huge problems, this book is a sure-footed guide, spanning Aristotle's ideas about restraining consumption, Adam Smith's thinking about the importance of moral character for sustained economic development, and Esther Duflo's ongoing work to help the world's poorest communities lift themselves out of poverty. It shows how the greatest economic thinkers - Karl Marx, Maynard Keynes, and Friedrich Hayek, among many others - have enabled us to see the world differently, and how we can make it better. It shows that economic thinking emerged, long before there were economists - and that good economics is about much more than the economy, so everyone should understand these vital ideas. Along the way, the book quietly subverts what you think you know about economics, especially by showing how women found a place in the development of ideas even when discrimination denied them any formal role.

The celebrated scientist and author of Why Information Grows reveals how knowledge moves, drives progress and shapes the world We all understand that knowledge shapes the fate of business and the growth of nations, but few of us are aware of the principles that govern its movement. In The Infinite Alphabet César A. Hidalgo, world-renowned for his work on economic complexity, unravels the laws describing the growth and diffusion of knowledge. To understand it, he shows, we must accept that it is not a single thing, but an ever-growing tapestry of unique ideas, experiences and received wisdom: an infinite alphabet that we are only beginning to fathom. Hidalgo walks you through the 'three laws' that predict how knowledge grows, moves, and decays. Through dozens of stories, he takes the reader from a failed attempt to build a city of knowledge in Ecuador to the growth of China's innovation economy, explaining why aircraft manufacturers in Italy began manufacturing scooters after the Second World War and how migrants like Samuel Slater shaped the industrial fabric of the United States. By the end of this journey, you will understand everything from why knowledge grows exponentially in the electronics industry to what mechanisms allow knowledge to cross geographic borders, social networks, and professional boundaries. These principles will teach you how knowledge shapes the world.

'More than anyone alive, Branko Milanovic was likely to propound a grand theory of our perplexing global moment... With brilliance, panache, and reliability, he has done it' Samuel Moyn Global neoliberalism is on its last legs, while a new international economic order is taking hold. Trade blocs, tariff wars, economic sanctions, and national champions are in; nationalism, anti-immigration movements and the far-right are on the rise. Liberalism is being rejected by the civic realm, as the status quo of the past fifty years crumbles. What remains in its wake? Drawing on original research, leading economist Branko Milanovic reveals the seismic shifts that are shaping our world. He details the facts: how the rising economic power of Asia is creating a new global 'middle class' in the greatest reshuffle of incomes since the Industrial Revolution. He explores our fears: why are we becoming increasingly unhappy, when the world is becoming richer and more equal? And he shows us the fight ahead: as plutocracy returns, global war threatens, and a new system silently shapes our nations, driving malcontent to breaking point. In The Great Global Transformation, Milanovic provides an invaluable guide to the new 21st century.

Today's dominant tech platforms are the most effective tools ever created for extracting wealth, destabilising the societies they plunder by creating vast inequality. One of the world's pre-eminent anti-monopoly experts explains how and why we must take back control. Our world is ruled by a handful of tech platforms. They provide great conveniences and entertainment but also stand as some of the most effective instruments of wealth extraction ever invented, seizing immense amounts of money, data and attention from all of us. An economy driven by tech and AI could enrich us, yet it could also marginalize entire industries, widen the wealth gap and foster a two-class nation. As technology evolves and our markets adapt, can society cultivate a better way? Is it possible to balance economic growth and egalitarianism, or are we too late? Tim Wu, the preeminent scholar and former White House official who coined the phrase 'net neutrality', tells the story of an internet that promised widespread wealth and democracy, only to aid the spread of autocracy instead. From generative AI and predictive social data to antitrust and cryptocurrency, Wu frames our current moment within key lessons from recent history. And, perhaps most importantly of all, Wu envisions a future where technological advances serve the greatest possible good - for everyone.

Why do people cooperate with one another when they have no incentive to do so? Why do we hold onto possessions of little value? And why is the winner of an auction so often disappointed? Over thirty years ago, Richard Thaler introduced readers to behavioral economics in his seminal Anomalies column, written with collaborators including Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. These provocative articles challenged the fundamental idea at the heart of economics that people are selfish, rational optimizers, and provided the foundation for what became behavioral economics. That was then. Now, three decades later, Thaler has teamed up with economist Alex Imas to write a new book. Every chapter starts with an original Anomaly, retaining the spirit of its timestamp. Then, shifting to the present, they provide current updates to each, asking how the original findings have held up and how the field has evolved since then. It turns out these findings still show up almost everywhere. Anomalies pop up in people's decisions to save for retirement and how they carry outstanding credit card debt. Even experts fail to optimize. The key concept of loss aversion explains missed putts by golf pros and the selection of which stocks to sell by portfolio managers. In this era of meme stocks and Dogecoin, it is hard to defend the view that financial markets are highly efficient. The good news, however, is that the anomalies have got much funnier. With both readability and rigor, The Winner's Curse illuminates these ideas for anyone - from those with a cursory understanding of economics to fellow economists. Each chapter provides a key insight into human behavior so readers learn how to better understand the choices made by their friends, colleagues, and customers, and might just become better at making decisions themselves.

Marx a Engels měli pravdu, když v Komunistickém manifestu konstatovali, že volné trhy během krátké doby vytvořily vetší prosperitu a více technologických inovací než všechny předchozí generace dohromady. O půldruhého století později všechny dukazy ukazují, že kapitalismus vysvobodil z hladu a chudoby miliony lidí. Dnešní narativy o globálním kapitalismu – sdílené pravicovými i levicovými populisty, ale také velkou částí politického a ekonomického establishmentu – sice nepopírá, že generoval prosperitu, tvrdí však, že se bohatství dostalo do příliš úzkého okruhu. Rozšířil se pohled na globální ekonomiku jako na geopolitickou hru s nulovým součtem, kde je třeba bojovat o kontrolu nad novými inovacemi, zavádět obchodní bariéry a znovu znárodňovat hodnotové řetězce. Kapitalismus je zároveň obviňován z prohlubující se nerovnosti, populistických revolt, klimatických změn a z globálního vzestupu Číny. Johan Norberg v této pronikavé a vášnivé analýze naopak obhajuje kapitalismus a klíčovou roli, kterou v dnešním nejistém světě hraje volný trh. Tvrdí, že odklon od globálního kapitalismu by nejen zastavil hospodářský růst, ale zároveň by ještě více prohloubil sociální vyloučení těch nejzranitelnějších – a pro chudé tohoto světa by to byla smrtící rána.

IT'S NOT IN YOUR HEAD. IT'S IN THE DATA. To be a woman today is to be overwhelmed from every angle. The data proves that the odds are still stacked against us - biologically, culturally, economically. But that same data can empower us to make choices that will reclaim our time, energy and help us find joy. In Femonomics, economist Corinne Low explodes the myths about what makes women successful and happy such as: - What if flexible working isn't the answer, and we actually need more boundaries? - What if the gender happiness gap was as important as the gender pay gap? - What if you had the power to prioritise things you actually value, rather than the things that other people value? - What if being more 'successful' actually meant putting family before work? Femonomics gives you the tools to design the life you want. It will teach you how to turn your time into money, how to work out what you value, how to invest in the right partner, how to plan your career at every stage, how to organise your family life - and ultimately how to make the world work for you.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award How 1,000 years of global history show why technological and economic progress is often followed by stagnation and even collapse In How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies-the United States and China-have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change. By examining key historical moments-from the rise of the steam engine to the dawn of AI-Frey shows why technological shifts have shaped, and sometimes destabilized, entire civilizations. He explores why some leading technological powers of the past-such as Song China, the Dutch Republic, and Victorian Britain-ultimately lost their innovative edge, why some modern nations such as Japan had periods of rapid growth followed by stagnation, and why planned economies like the Soviet Union collapsed after brief surges of progress. Frey uncovers a recurring tension in history: while decentralization fosters the exploration of new technologies, bureaucracy is crucial for scaling them. When institutions fail to adapt to technological change, stagnation inevitably follows. Only by carefully balancing decentralization and bureaucracy can nations innovate and grow over the long term-findings that have worrying implications for the United States, Europe, China, and other economies today. Through a rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, and technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future requires us to draw the right lessons from the past.

From a leading economic historian, this is the history of the institutions and individuals who have managed the global economy, from the World Monetary and Economic Conference in the wake of the Great Depression to the present Since the Second World War, organisations created at Bretton Woods - the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development - and afterwards - the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - have left an indelible mark on our contemporary world. Martin Daunton examines the swings of the pendulum over ninety years between the forces of democracy, national determination and globalization. He shows that the structures of economic government have been overwhelmingly shaped by 'first world' powers, often to the dismay of developing countries. He argues that whilst structures cannot be separated from the politics of and between the biggest economies, future global recovery rests on the reduction of inequality and that multilateral institutions are fundamental in fostering inclusive growth.

Významný ekonom 20. století Ludwig von Mises celý svůj život zasvětil trpělivému vysvětlování, proč socialismus nefunguje a ani fungovat nemůže, proč zásahy státu a byrokracie přináší horší výsledky než kapitalismus a soukromé podnikání a jak přebujelost státního aparátu vede k totalitě. V knize Liberalismus popisuje svou vizi státu, v němž jsou uznávány hodnoty jako volný trh, soukromé vlastnictví, vláda práva, mír a tolerance. Jedině v takovém státu se člověk může cítit skutečně svobodný.

An acclaimed economist's observations on four years of events that have shaped the world In this new volume drawn from his columns for the French newspaper Le Monde, renowned economist Thomas Piketty takes measure of the world since 2021: leaders grappling with the aftershocks of a global pandemic; politics shifting rightward in Europe and America; and wars breaking out and escalating, from Russia's invasion of Ukraine to the conflict in Israel and Gaza. Together with an extended introductory essay arguing that an ecological socialism remains the best hope for global equality, these articles present Piketty's vivid first draft of history-on the rise of China, political upheaval, armed conflict, inequity within and between nations, discrimination, and beyond. Despite the gathering clouds, Piketty continues to find reasons for hope.

THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW WOMEN MADE THE WORLD WEALTHY Humanity's journey from poverty to prosperity is filled with men who have become household names. But how many female entrepreneurs, merchants and industrialists can you name? Economica places women at the centre of the story of economic growth. Starting in the Stone Age and continuing to the present day, it takes the reader through the key economic milestones of the past twelve millennia - from the birth of farming to the advent of computing - all told through the experiences of women as well as men. Historian Victoria Bateman weaves a thrilling, globe-spanning narrative that proves women weren't 'missing' from economic life, they were merely hidden from view. We discover the female workers who helped to build the Great Pyramid of Giza, and to plumb the city of ancient Rome; the silk weavers who made a vital contribution to the development of the Silk Road and global trade; the women who dominated London's brewing trade during medieval times; and the brave twentieth-century pioneers who fought to make our economies not just richer but fairer. Economica rewrites our understanding of women's role in the economy, and tells a more accurate economic history of us all.

The tectonic plates of the global order are shifting, creating new pressures that will strain long-standing financial structures. BUT WHERE WILL THE WORLD'S NEW ECONOMIC FAULT LINES EMERGE? AND HOW DISRUPTIVE WILL THEY BE? In a clear and far-reaching reckoning, The Fractured Age lays bare the threats and opportunities that will shape the world economy over the coming decade. It charts the emergence of geopolitical blocs in a world undergoing profound change - blocs whose relative size and economic diversity will be pivotal in reordering everything from goods trade and investment flows to technology transfers and access to critical minerals. As the world enters another period of seismic upheaval and a new global order emerges, understanding which economies will benefit, and which will bear the costs, will be critical for effective decision-making throughout boardrooms and the halls of government. As Chief Economist of one of the world's leading providers of independent macroeconomic and market research, Neil Shearing lays out a stark vision of the peaks and rifts that will unfold, and how they will fundamentally reshape the global economy in this fractured age. As seen on Bloomberg, BBC News, CNN, Channel 4 News and in The Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal and The Guardian
