GLOBAL ECONOMICS Confronting Inequality
International Policy Rules and Inequality
Jonathan D. Ostry, Prakash Loungani, and Andrew Berg
Edited by José Antonio Ocampo
Implications for Global Economic Governance
How Societies Can Choose Inclusive Growth
Foreword by Joseph E. Stiglitz
The widening gap between the very rich and everyone else is often portrayed as an unexpected outcome or as the trade-off we must accept to achieve economic growth. In this book, three International Monetary Fund economists show that this increase in inequality has in fact been a political choice—and explain what policies we should choose instead to achieve a more inclusive economy.
In this book, contributors scrutinize how the rules of global economic governance—or the lack thereof—determine the extent and growth of inequality. They provide an in-depth examination of the rules governing foreign-investment protection, cross-border financial flows, and intellectual property rights, as well as the lack of standards governing international taxation and the channels through which these issues might affect inequality.

Post-Keynesian Theory Revisited
Exploring Spaces of Exchange
Money, Uncertainty, and Employment
Edited by Christian Berndt, Jamie Peck, and Norma Rantisi
Matteo Iannizzotto
This collection of new essays rediscovers the physical space that markets inhabit and explores how the impact of political, social, and economic factors determine the shape of a particular market space. The essays present new research from the fields of geography, economics, political economy, and planning and provide valuable case study material to show how markets are contested, constructed, and placed.
In this advanced introduction, Matteo Iannizzotto showcases post-Keynesianism's contributions to such central issues as the fundamental uncertainty in economic decisions, the theory of liquidity preference, effective demand, and nominal contracts. In each case the author presents the strength of post-Keynesian ideas alongside those of mainstream economics and shows their explanatory power in the light of the 2008 financial crisis.

Stefan Ouma
Innovation and Competitiveness
Global Finance and the Making of Institutional Landscapes
“Fishlow and Vieira Filho highlight the relationship between science, technology, and productivity based on learning and institutional processes. Embrapa, Petrobras, and Embraer are three cases of institutional innovation in Brazil. This book fills an important gap in the international literature on economics and innovation.”
In a world with a growing population that needs to be fed, the financial returns from agriculture are sold as safe bets. The debate that this has prompted has seen financiers blamed for rising land prices, corporate enclosures, the dispossession of smallholder farmers and the expansion of large-scale industrial agriculture. Stefan Ouma speaks to these concerns via an ethnographic journey through the agrifocused asset management industry.

Crude Volatility
The Fracking Debate
The History and the Future of Boom-Bust Oil Prices
The Risks, Benefits, and Uncertainties of the Shale Revolution
Robert McNally
Daniel Raimi
Crafting an engrossing journey from the gushing Pennsylvania oil fields of the 1860s to today's fraught and fractious Middle East, Crude Volatility explains how past periods of stability and volatility in oil prices help us understand the new boom-bust era. Robery McNally explains the consequences of the ebbing of OPEC's power, debunking myths and offering recommendations—including mistakes to avoid—as we confront the unwelcome return of boom and bust oil prices.
Over roughly the past decade, oil and gas production in the United States has surged dramatically—thanks largely to technological advances such as high-volume hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as “fracking.” Daniel Raimi addresses the most common questions and concerns associated with fracking: Does fracking pollute the water supply? Will fracking make the United States energy independent? Does fracking cause earthquakes? How is fracking regulated? Is fracking good for the economy?

Bounded Rationality
Michael Haynes
Michael Haynes argues that too little attention is paid to why productivity grows or fails to grow in certain contexts and explores the difficulties involved in measuring its scope. Haynes examines how real–world variables such as social welfare, automation and the reorganization of global and local economies interact with measurements of efficiency and output. He concludes by discussing whether growth in productivity is sustainable or whether productivity is, in fact, no longer the motor of economic growth that it once was.

In the seventeenth century, English economic theorists lost interest in the moral status of exchange and became increasingly concerned with the roots of national prosperity. This shift marked the origins of classical political economy and provided the foundation for the contemporary discipline of economics. Emily Erikson brings together historical, comparative, and computational methods to explain the institutional forces that brought about this transformation. $35.00 / £30.00 paper 978-0-231-18435-9
