Inflation is back, and its impact can be felt everywhere, from the grocery store to the mortgage market to the results of elections around the world. Yet the conventional wisdom about inflation is stuck in the past. Since the 1970s, there has only really been one playbook for fighting inflation: raise interest rates, thereby creating unemployment and a recession, which will lower prices. But this simple story hides a multitude of beliefs about why prices go up and how policymakers can wrestle them back down, beliefs that are often wrong, damaging, and have little empirical basis.

Andrew Mellon, one of the most accomplished businessmen of his era, is almost unknown today. To this shy, diffident (but brilliant) man fell the daunting task of collecting the war debts from European governments still devastated by WWI and struggling to recover economically.

Mellon vs. Churchill presents Winston Churchill through a different lens, focusing on his service as Chancellor of the Exchequer when Great Britain was the largest debtor to the US.

A sweeping, deeply researched chronicle of the COVID-19 pandemic, weaving together science, politics, and personal freedoms.

The book doesn’t just tell the story of a virus—it lays bare the cultural and political divide that shaped America’s uneven and often painful response. Gruner’s writing is crisp, and he breaks down complex topics without dumbing them down.

“I’m really good at what I do, yet no-one other than my direct boss knows how good I am. I over-rely on my technical expertise, which I increasingly realise is not enough. I hate going to functions and don’t want to be seen as the schmoozer. I know I’m better than this, yet my career, position or salary isn’t reflecting it.” If this sounds familiar, then YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. I look forward to sharing some of the insights I’ve gained over the past 20 years, training and speaking to people all over the world about how to increase their business networks.

Newly minted research economists are equipped with a PhD’s worth of technical and scientific expertise but often lack some of the practical tools necessary for “doing economics.” With this book, economics professor Marc Bellemare breaks down the components of doing research economics and examines each in turn.

Dieses Buch erzählt eine große Geschichte, die Jahrtausende alte Geschichte der Wirtschaft. Vom Beginn der landwirtschaftlichen Revolution bis zur Digitalisierung deckt es die verborgenen wirtschaftlichen Kräfte hinter Krieg, Innovation und sozialem Wandel auf. Es zeichnet nach, wie der Kapitalismus und das heutige Marktsystem entstanden sind, und stellt die wichtigsten Ideen und Menschen vor, die die Wirtschaft für immer geprägt haben.

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.

Ever wonder why you've had more strategy conversations than you can count, but not a single strategist discussion you can remember? That's because strategy has made a career out of ignoring the strategist—until now. Strategists First will help you learn what every strategist needs to know, including: who strategists are, what strategists believe, how strategists behave, where strategists thrive, when strategists strike, and why strategists matter.

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.

Drive through rural America and you’ll see small town after small town empty and decaying.

En este breve ensayo, ¿Qué es el Dinero?, Tolstói analiza el dinero no solo como herramienta económica, sino como símbolo de poder y desigualdad. Sostiene que el dinero permite a unos pocos vivir a expensas del trabajo de muchos, y que su acumulación casi siempre implica injusticia. Para él, el sistema económico moderno es inmoral porque legitima la explotación y aleja al ser humano de una vida sencilla y justa.
