Milton Friedman, père du courant monétariste et fondateur de l'école de Chicago, y défend la liberté économique comme condition nécessaire à toute liberté politique. Il y présente sa propre vision du libéralisme et son analyse pointue est encore et toujours d'actualité.

In today's dynamic business landscape, understanding the economic roles of accounting is essential: more than simply measuring change in value, accounting information plays a vital role facilitating exchanges, whether within an organization itself or in capital markets. In The Economics of Accounting, Richard M. Frankel, S. P. Kothari, and Luo Zuo take the view that earnings and other accounting outputs help firms function more efficiently by making contracts more effective, aiding decision-making, bridging information gaps, enabling price discovery, and reducing trading costs.

In Meaningful Economics, Bart J. Wilson challenges economics to directly engage human beings as we really are, not as economists ideally assume. Wilson argues that economic science is as much about purposes and human values as it is about incentives. Moreover, he shows how the outcomes of our decisions (costs and benefits) and the origins of our decisions (motives and goals) can be understood in an integrated way.

You're a professional watching endless money printing erode your savings, pensions, and purchasing power. Central banks demand perpetual inflation to service ballooning debt—but free markets thrive on deflation, savings, and innovation. aBundance exposes this deadly paradox and reveals Bitcoin as the fix: its 21-million cap, proof-of-work, and peer-to-peer network deliver sustainable abundance for savers and builders.

Niko Paech forderte 2012 in »Befreiung vom Überfluss« eine radikale Abkehr von diesem Weg. Er warnte vor den falschen Versprechen »grünen« Wachstums und prognostizierte, dass trotz aller Klimagipfel und »nachhaltigen« Produkte die Zerstörung der Umwelt weiter voranschreiten würde. Und er behielt recht. Sein legendäres Manifest prägte die Debatte über den Kapitalismus. Nun liegt es in einer aktualisierten Auflage vor, die von Fridays for Future über Pandemie bis zur wachsenden Politikverdrossenheit neue Entwicklungen einbezieht. Paechs Gedanken sind heute aktueller denn je.

In Beyond Material Salvation, Licensed Insolvency Trustee Shawn Stack pulls back the curtain on Canada’s debt system, exposing how insolvency isn’t just about numbers—it’s about identity, shame, exploitation, and the stories we’re told about what we owe and to whom. With the insight of a professional and the compassion of someone who’s seen real people in crisis, Stack challenges the myths surrounding bankruptcy, credit counselling, and “financial responsibility.” He offers an unflinching look at how the system often rewards silence and shame while punishing honesty and vulnerability.

على مدار سبعة عشر نزهة، تناقش الدكتورة ريبيكا كامبل بعض المفاهيم الاقتصادية وتتعمق في كيفية تطبيقها على حياتنا بالنسبة للبشر والكلاب على حد سواء. لا يحتوي هذا الكتاب على أي رسوم بيانية، أو جداول لأن مونتي لا يستطيع قراءتها وبكل تأكيد، لن تعثر هنا على تفاضل أو تكامل.

Вы удивитесь, обнаружив, как легко и логично объясняются многие парадоксы российской жизни, если взглянуть на них с точки зрения институциональной теории. Институты — это правила, которые не могут быть идеальными из-за возникающих сил трения — трансакционных издержек.

Fleeced: Canadians Versus Their Banks is a stunning exposé of the inner workings of our six major banks, demonstrating how they are set up to avoid competing with one another, squeeze their customers, evade risk, stifle innovation, and produce staggering profits that enrich bank executives and shareholders.

Benjamin Franklin, presidente, inventor, escritor, embajador y mucho más, es sin duda una gran elección para iniciar esta colección de economía y educación financiera. Para el lector primerizo supone una buena introducción al mundo de la educación financiera, tal y como nuestras abuelas nos la habrían dado: a base de refranes.

The Myth That Made Us exposes how false narratives—of a supposedly post-racist nation, of the self-made man, of the primacy of profit- and shareholder value—maximizing for businesses, and of minimal government interference—have been used to excuse gross inequities and to shape and sustain the US economic system that delivers them. Jeff Fuhrer argues that systemic racism continues to produce vastly disparate outcomes and that our brand of capitalism favors doing little to reduce disparities.

Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience―including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals.

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.

Bazată pe o serie de prelegeri înregistrate, cartea de față abordează trei probleme fascinante: banii, în contrast cu adevărata bogăție, spiritualitatea unui materialism mai profund și modul în care tehnologia și concepțiile filozofice ne ghidează spre o legătură tot mai intensă cu universul pe care îl locuim. Vei explora numeroase alte teme pline de clarviziune, dar și de umor, mai relevante ca oricând.
