Last Resort
The Financial Crisis and the Future of Bailouts
Eric A. Posner “Rather than blaming the government or the corporations . . .

Bourgeois Equality
How Ideas, Not Capital or Institutions, Enriched the World
Deirdre N. McCloskey “It is a giant of a book about a giant of a topic: the ‘great enrichment’ of humanity over the past 300 years.

Dump your copy of Thomas Piketty and put Deirdre McCloskey on the bookshelf instead.”—Times 2016 768 p. 6 x 9 5 line drawings, 6 tables 476 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-33399-1 $45.00 Your Price: $13.00
The Political Origins of Inequality
Why a More Equal World Is Better for Us All
Simon Reid-Henry “The Political Origins of Inequality makes the bold claim that popular thinking on global development is profoundly and fundamentally flawed because many of the economists who have written many of the best sellers have often been shortsighted. This is an important book about big issues, dismissive of facile solutions, it should change the terms of the debate on why the gaps between us are so wide and what we could do about them.” —Danny Dorling, author of Injustice 2016 208 p. 6 x 9 12 halftones 477 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-23679-7 $25.00 Your Price: $8.00
Down and Out in the New Economy
How People Find (or Don’t Find) Work Today
Ilana Gershon “Gershon vividly illuminates how workers have become ‘brands’ or ‘businesses’ in the new economy. Sounds liberating, but beware. As Gershon shows with numerous examples, the gain of the ‘personal brand’ may entail the loss of the person. And the gain of the ‘personal business’ may entail the loss of loyalty, security, and connection. This is a cautionary tale for all job seekers and the people who hire them.”—Barry Schwartz, author of Why We Work 2017 304 p. 6 x 9 4 halftones 478 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-45214-2 $25.00 Your Price: $8.00
