  • The New Economics of Inequality and Redistribution

    af Samuel Bowles ...
    Serier serie Federico Caffè Lectures
    Economists warn that policies to level the economic playing field come with a hefty price tag. But this so-called 'equality-efficiency trade-off' has proven difficult to document. The data suggest, instead, that the extraordinary levels of economic inequality now experienced in many economies are detrimental to the economy. Moreover, recent economic experiments and other evidence confirm that most ... Læs mere

  • Filthy Lucre

    Economics for People Who Hate Capitalism

    af Joseph Heath ...
    Economists have a bad reputation. Not only do they assume that everyone is self-interested and amoral, they are almost always cheerleaders for the free market. As a result, most people who do not already share their beliefs ignore everything that economists have to say. This is a problem. Even among the highly educated, economics is a minefield of fallacies and errors. Among those who know little ... Læs mere

  • Retirement In Canada

    af Thomas R. Klassen ...
    Serier serie In Canada
    A century ago, the average Canadian lifespan was 60; today, we can expect to live 20 years longer than that. And recent generations have witnessed other major social shifts in Canada, from women entering the workforce to alterations in traditional career patterns, from evolutions in the once-inviolable nuclear family to the decline of employer pension schemes. As the arc of our lives continues to ... Læs mere

  • The Soulful Science

    What Economists Really Do and Why It Matters - Revised Edition

    af Diane Coyle ...
    For many, Thomas Carlyle's put-down of economics as "the dismal science" rings true--especially in the aftermath of the crash of 2008. But Diane Coyle argues that economics today is more soulful than dismal, a more practical and human science than ever before. The Soulful Science describes the remarkable creative renaissance in economics, how economic thinking is being applied to the paradoxes of ... Læs mere

  • Economics Rules

    Why Economics Works, When It Fails, and How To Tell The Difference

    af Dani Rodrik ...
    The economics profession has become a favourite punching bag in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Economists are widely reviled and their influence derided by the general public. Yet their services have never been in greater demand. To unravel the paradox, we need to understand both the strengths and weaknesses of economics. Dani Rodrik argues that the multiplicity of theoretical ... Læs mere

  • The Economics Anti-Textbook

    A Critical Thinker's Guide to Microeconomics

    af Rod Hill, Tony Myatt ...
    Mainstream textbooks present economics as an objective science free from value judgements; that settles disputes by testing hypotheses; that applies a pre-determined body of principles; and contains policy prescriptions supported by a consensus of professional opinion. The Economics Anti-Textbook argues that this is a myth - one which is not only dangerously misleading but also bland and boring. ... Læs mere

  • The New Financial Order

    Risk in the 21st Century

    af Robert J. Shiller ...
    In his best-selling Irrational Exuberance, Robert Shiller cautioned that society's obsession with the stock market was fueling the volatility that has since made a roller coaster of the financial system. Less noted was Shiller's admonition that our infatuation with the stock market distracts us from more durable economic prospects. These lie in the hidden potential of real assets, such as income ...
