Download or read book Human Centred Economics written by Richard Samans and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-02 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines the chronic underperformance of economies with respect to inclusion, sustainability and resilience. It finds that the standard liberal economic growth and development model has evolved over the past century in a fundamentally unbalanced manner that underemphasizes the crucial role of institutions – legal norms, policy incentives and public administrative capacities – in translating market-based growth in the production of goods and services into broad and sustainable gains in social welfare at the household level. Correcting this imbalance of emphasis in economic theory and policy between markets and institutions, production and distribution, and national income and household living standards is the single most important step required to transcend 20th century trickle-down “neoliberalism” and replace it with a more human-centred model of economic progress in the 21st century. The book breaks new ground by integrating the principal institutional dimensions of the social contract into the heart of macroeconomic theory and presenting extensive corresponding reforms of domestic and international economic policy to refocus them on the median living standards, rather than primarily aggregate wealth or GDP, of nations. This is the bottom-line measure of national economic performance, and it depends on the strength of both markets of exchange and institutions in such areas as labour and social protection, financial and corporate governance, competition and rents, anti-corruption, infrastructure and basic necessities, environmental protection, education and skilling, etc. Extensive comparative data are presented demonstrating that countries at every level of economic development have ample policy space to narrow their “welfare gaps” – their underperformance on these and other key aspects of household living standards relative to the frontier of leading policy practice in peer countries.
Download or read book Beyond the Kitchen Table written by Priscilla McCutcheon and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-10-18 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, there has been an increasing amount of scholarship focused on race and food inequity. Much of this research is focused on the United States and its densely populated urban centers. Looking deeply into Black women's roles—economically, environmentally, and socially—in food and agriculture systems in the Caribbean, Africa, and the United States, the contributors address the ways Black women, both now and in the past, have used food as a part of community building and sustenance. They also examine matrilineal food-based education; the importance of Black women's social, cultural, and familial networks in addressing nutrition and food insecurity; the ways gender intersects with class and race globally when thinking about food; and how women-led science and technology initiatives can be used to create healthier and more just food systems. Contributors include Agnes Atia Apusigah, Neela Badrie, Kenia-Rosa Campo, Dara Cooper, Kelsey Emard, Claudia J. Ford, Hanna Garth, Shelene Gomes, Veronica Gordon, Wendy-Ann Isaac, Lydia Kwoyiga, Gloria Sanders McCutcheon, Eveline M. F. W. Sawadogo/Compaore, Ashante M.

Download or read book What Should I Do with My Money Economic Insights to Build Wealth Amid Chaos written by Bryan Kuderna and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eye-opening panoramic guide providing the economic literacy you need to be in control of your money decisions and get on the path to long-term financial independence “We are all on this earth together, and so is our money,” Bryan Kuderna writes. “You must understand that money, your money, rests at the heart of every major issue in the world.” Kuderna, a Certified Financial PlannerTM and nationally recognized financial advisor, knows first-hand that the key to wise financial decisions is a deep understanding of economics. When his clients ask him, “What should I do with my money?” Kuderna has found the conversation quickly turns from one of personal finance to a 360-degree view of economics, illustrating why and how issues on the global stage and the kitchen table are directly connected. In What Should I Do with My Money?, Kuderna explains how economies and markets are affected by the way people live, learn, love, work, play, and pray—for it is these behaviors that determine how groups, corporations, and nations make money or lose money. Using history, storytelling, and sage insights, Kuderna takes you on a panoramic tour of the nine most important domains impacting your wealth: POPULATION—a rapidly growing and shifting balance of givers and takers ENTITLEMENTS—the past, present, and future of Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, pensions, and stimulus programs EDUCATION—costs and benefits of college and student loans ECONOMIC PHILOSOPHY—political and monetary beliefs that govern our world ENVIRONMENT—the sustainability of our planet amid global warming, plastics, and finite natural resources TECH—opportunities and threats from the fastest-growing sector of the stock market WAR—the use of proxy wars, civil military fusion, cyber, and economic attacks RELIGION—how faith has steered economies from the stone age to the space age PERSONAL FINANCE—a plan to attain the Three I’s: Impact, Independence, and Income Each chapter includes special features explaining the “macro” problem and what it means to your personal “micro” world―helping you connect the dots of global issues to your own financial plan. Now more than ever you might feel overwhelmed, the victim of existing economic structures, but wait and see how there has been no better time for you to take control and build wealth.

Jargon-free and written for all investors-experienced, beginner, and everyone in between-The Investment Answer distills the process into just five decisions-five straightforward choices that can lead to safe and sound ways to manage your money.
