Accounting for Crises
A Marxist History of American Accounting Theory, c.1929 – 2007 by Rob Bryer (Warwick Business School, UK)
“A tour de force: Engaging seriously with Marx’s actual crisis theory — rather than potted versions — and marshalling the author’s deep knowledge of accounting and its history, Accounting for Crises , explain why the United States was the epicentre of both the Great Depression and the Great Recession. The interplay of the tendential fall in the rate of profit, ‘moral hazard’ and ‘swindling’ is central to Rob Bryer’s explanation, as is the role of accounting theory. The first three factors were stressed also by Marx; the last is Bryer’s original contribution.”

Climate Change Economics / Climate Change Policy
How to Cope with Climate Change
by Michael Krause
World Scientific Lecture Notes in Economics and Policy - Vol 20 Public Policy and Climate
Change
Politics, Philosophy and Economics by John Quiggin (University of Queensland, Australia)
The main focus is on the critical economic concept of opportunity cost: The true cost of anything is what you must give up to get it. In a smoothly functioning market, prices determine, and are determined by, opportunity costs. But markets for the emissions that generate global heating do not operate smoothly, if they exist at all. This book explains how policy responses such as carbon taxes and emissions trading markets are products of these ‘market failures’.
Readership: Undergraduates studying Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE).

The Rise of the New Economic Powers and the Changing Global Landscape
by Haico Ebbers
(Nyenrode Business University, The Netherlands)
This book explores the catching-up process of a group of large emerging markets: the New Economic Powers. This process is extremely robust and should be considered as the defining trend of our age, resulting in a pivotal change in world economics and politics. The outcome is that the West cannot dominate the world as it did in the previous 200 years. Today’s world is pluralistic, and the larger emerging markets are becoming increasingly influential. That is the new reality, which at times caused, and will cause, further discomfort and uncertainty in the West.
Readership: University students and academics specialising in developmental economics, political economy, and international economics.

Fact and Fiction in British Finance
Since 1800 by
Ranald Michie
(Durham University, UK)

Nothing of this scale has been attempted before and this is the product of 50 years of research.

Lectures on Dynamic Macroeconomics
Methods and Applications
by Chetan Dave (University of Alberta, Canada), Marco M Sorge (University of Salerno, Italy)
Modern macroeconomic theory is the study of dynamic general equilibrium economic models. Models are defined broadly and allow for situations where markets do not always clear and where prices do not necessarily adjust instantaneously. This text provides an introduction to the study of such models: time can either be modelled in a discrete or continuous fashion, and the environment may be either deterministic or stochastic — this generality accommodates both business cycle and economic growth modelling.
Readership: Graduate and advanced undergraduate students in Macroeconomics; researchers and practitioners in the fields of Theoretical and Applied Macroeconomics and Computational Economics.

Decoding Economic Crises
by Cristina Peicuti, Jean-Marc Daniel (ESCP Business School, France)
Decoding Economic Crises attempts to answer the question of whether American leadership has emerged unscathed from the damage inflicted by the 1975, 1992, 2009 and 2020 recessions and their legacies of debt. Looking forward to the future, there is a particular focus on environmental change. The book interrogates whether devastating crises might ensue, reminiscent of the ‘nutritional trap’ theorised by Nobel Prize winner Angus Deaton. Finally, Decoding Economic Crises asks if there will be a return to times of extreme scarcity as seen prior to the mid-18th century.

In particular, it proposes useful methods to solve the problem of endogeneity in the linear trending regression models when the trend component is either weak or strong. The book also proposes a testing procedure for common trends among trending time series and provides some illustrative examples for using these models and methods in economics, finance, and climate change. Serving as a practical toolbox, this book equips empirical analysts with essential tools to investigate trends in their work and research.

Lectures in Production and Supply
by Barry K Goodwin (North Carolina State University, USA)
This book presents the core components of modern theories of production and market conditions from the supply side. Analysis under conditions of perfect information is initially considered to demonstrate key concepts in production. The focus is on applied empirical models of production within an economic context. Production under conditions of uncertainty and risk aversion is then considered in a comprehensive manner. Mechanisms for the management of production risk, particularly to insurance, are then developed in detail.
Readership: Students and instructors teaching production analysis at the graduate level.

Textbook Game Theory
A Nontechnical Introduction to the Analysis of Strategy (4th Edition) by
Roger A McCain (Drexel University,
USA)
As with the previous editions, this fourth edition relies on teaching by example and the Karplus Learning Cycle to convey the ideas of game theory in a way that is approachable, intuitive, and interdisciplinary. Noncooperative equilibrium concepts such as Nash equilibrium, mixed strategy equilibria, and subgame perfect equilibrium are systematically introduced in the first half of the book. Bayesian Nash equilibrium is briefly introduced. The subsequent chapters discuss cooperative solutions with and without side payments, rationalizable strategies and correlated equilibria, and applications to elections, social mechanism design, and larger-scale games. New examples include panic buying, supply-chain shifts in the pandemic, and global warming.
