This book is an unprecedented consideration of the challenges of what we can do for generations yet to come. Many growing intergenerational conflicts of interest, such as climate change and fiscal sustainability, are the result of the historically new progress of increasing human power, and the resolution of those conflicts demands a new intergenerational ethic. The book offers fresh new ideas for resolving intergenerational conflicts through the exploration of an entirely new field, conceptualized in philosophy, developed in economics, and tested in experiments. In¿particular, this work develops the theory of intergenerational cooperation based on a new relationship of direct reciprocity between generations. From experimental results, the possibility of intergenerational cooperation through Kantian categorical imperative is shown. The book also examines the effectiveness of inviting representatives of future generations, which are called "imaginary future generations", into the deliberations for current policy decisions. The original Japanese edition of this book was awarded the 66th Nikkei Prize for Excellent Books in Economic Science. The prize was established in 1958 to contribute to the advancement of academics and knowledge in the fields of economics, management, and accounting, as well as to its general dissemination and application.

This book offers a unique, critical exploration of concepts and practices of social sustainability through both a critical concept analysis as well as empirical studies of practices that undermine social sustainability. It addresses the questions: What is the main role of social relations and social practice in the transition from fundamentally unsustainable societies and local practices towards a sustainable future? And how does economical sustainability reduce or enhance social sustainability? The chapters in this work define and understand social sustainability in relation to principles such as solidarity, community, welfare, reciprocity, and regenerative co-existence. These principles are analyzed through the lens of emotions, respect, carefulness, sensitivity, and art, to establish counter-principles and narratives to principles like growth, efficiency, capitalism, and mastery of nature. Such counter-narratives to mainstream understandings and histories of economy aid in shedding light on a variety of different aspects of sustainability. The book presents a methodological plurality including conceptual and empirical approaches, praxis-oriented and inductive approaches. The chapters present interdisciplinary approaches concerning welfare, ecology, sociology, organization and economy, social psychology and aesthetics and therefore appeal to a broad audience of scholars and academics.

What we consume has become a central?perhaps the central?feature of modern life.Our economies live or die by spending, and we increasingly define ourselves by our possessions. This ever-richer lifestyle has had a profound impact on our planet. How have we come to live with so much stuff, and how has this changed the course of history?In Empire of Things, Frank Trentmann unfolds the extraordinary story of our modern material world, from Renaissance Italy and late Ming China to today's global economy. While consumption is often portrayed as a recent American export, this monumental and richly detailed account shows that it is, in fact, a truly international phenomenon with a much longer and more diverse history. Trentmann traces the influence of trade and empire on tastes, as formerly exotic goods like coffee, tobacco, Indian cotton, and Chinese porcelain conquered the world, and explores the growing demand for home furnishings, fashionable clothes, and convenience that transformed private and public life. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries brought department stores, credit cards, and advertising, but also the rise of the ethical shopper, new generational identities, and, eventually, the resurgence of the Asian consumer. With an eye to the present and future, Trentmann provides a long view on the global challenges of our relentless pursuit of more?from waste and debt to stress and inequality. A masterpiece of research and storytelling many years in the making, Empire of Things recounts the epic history of the goods that have seduced, enriched, and unsettled our lives over the past six hundred years. Praise for Empire of Things?Empire of Things is a masterpiece of historical research . . . a delight to read.??The Times (UK) ?Empire of Things is something to behold; a compelling account of consumerism that revels in its staggering breadth and depth. Frank Trentmann has written a necessary and important book about one of the defining characteristics of our times.??Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana, winner of the Whitbread Prize, and A World on Fire?Impeccably scholarly, vividly detailed, and delightfully written, Empire of Things is the indispensable starting point for anyone who wants to understand how, in the last half millennium, every effort to restrain consumers has failed, while revolutions in consumption keep piling up stuff and waste.??Felipe Fernández-Armesto, author of Millennium and Civilizations ?In this magisterial volume, Frank Trentmann takes us through time and across national borders to provide a comprehensive history of how people the world over have come to live with more and more things. Here is the crucial backstory to every consumer exchange.??Lizabeth Cohen, author of A Consumers' Republic ?Empire of Things is an extraordinary, Braudelian achievement. It is impossible to imagine that any one person would be able to do a better job than Frank Trentmann.??John Brewer, author of The Pleasures of the Imagination, winner of the Wolfson History Prize

Consumer advertising appeals in television commercials are strategic techniques employed by advertisers to capture the attention and interest of their target audience. These appeals leverage various psychological, emotional, and rational factors to influence consumers' attitudes and behaviors. A closer examination of television commercials reveals a diverse range of advertising appeals that advertisers utilize to create memorable and impactful messages. One common type of advertising appeal is emotional appeal. Advertisers often tap into consumers' emotions, aiming to create a strong connection between the product or service and positive feelings. This could include evoking happiness, nostalgia, love, or even empathy. For example, a commercial for a family car might depict heartwarming scenes of a family enjoying quality time together, associating the product with the emotional value of family bonding. Conversely, advertisers also employ fear as a powerful emotional appeal. This approach relies on instilling a sense of urgency or anxiety in viewers, compelling them to take action. Anti-smoking campaigns, for instance, often use graphic imagery and emotionally charged narratives to evoke fear and discourage smoking. The fear appeal is designed to provoke a strong emotional response that can influence consumer behavior and decision-making. In addition to emotional appeals, rational appeals focus on logic, facts, and reasoning to persuade consumers. These commercials provide information about the product's features, benefits, and competitive advantages. This approach is common in advertisements for technology products, where consumers are often swayed by specifications, performance metrics, and comparisons with competing brands. Rational appeals aim to engage the audience's intellect and convince them based on the product's functional attributes. Another widely used advertising appeal is the humor appeal. Comedic elements in commercials serve to entertain and amuse viewers, creating a positive association with the product or brand. Humor can make a commercial memorable, and the positive emotions elicited can contribute to brand recall and consumer liking. However, it's crucial for advertisers to ensure that humor aligns with the target audience's preferences and does not overshadow the product or message.Celebrity endorsements represent a form of testimonial appeal, leveraging the popularity and credibility of well-known personalities to promote a product. Celebrities can lend their influence to enhance a brand's image, establish trust, and create a sense of aspiration among consumers. This appeal is often used in industries such as fashion, beauty, and luxury goods, where associating with a celebrity can elevate the perceived value of the product.Moreover, advertisers frequently employ the scarcity appeal to create a sense of urgency and exclusivity. Limited-time offers, exclusive deals, or products in short supply can drive consumers to take immediate action, fearing they might miss out. This appeal capitalizes on the psychological principle that people are often more motivated to acquire something if they perceive it as scarce or exclusive.

Today's "managerial" capitalism has grown hopelessly out of touch with the people it should be serving. The Support Economy explores the chasm between people and corporations and reveals a new society of individuals who seek relationships of advocacy and trust that provide support for their complex lives.Unlocking the wealth of these new markets can unleash the next great wave of wealth creation, but it requires a radically new approach-"distributed" capitalism. The Support Economy is a call to action for every citizen who cares about the future.

Behavioral Economics is a fascinating field that combines insights from psychology and economics to understand and predict human behavior in decision-making processes. It delves into the intricacies of why people make certain choices, often deviating from traditional economic theories that assume individuals are consistently rational and always act in their best interest.This subchapter aims to provide an overview of Behavioral Economics, shedding light on its fundamental concepts and principles. Whether you are a student, a business professional, or simply curious about human behavior, understanding Behavioral Economics can offer valuable insights into how individuals and societies make decisions.At its core, Behavioral Economics recognizes that humans are prone to biases, cognitive limitations, and emotions that influence their choices. It challenges the traditional economic assumption that individuals always act rationally by exploring the various factors that impact decision-making, such as social influences, heuristics, and framing effects.By studying Behavioral Economics, you will gain a deeper understanding of why people often make seemingly irrational choices. For instance, why do we tend to overestimate our abilities? Why do we prefer avoiding losses rather than acquiring equivalent gains? These questions and more will be answered as we explore the fascinating world of behavioral economics.Throughout this subchapter, we will delve into key theories and experiments that have shaped the field of Behavioral Economics. We will explore concepts like prospect theory, which explains how people evaluate and make decisions under uncertainty, and the endowment effect, which describes our tendency to value objects we own more than identical objects that we do not own.Additionally, we will discuss the practical applications of Behavioral Economics in various domains, such as marketing, finance, and public policy. By understanding the underlying mechanisms that drive human behavior, you will be better equipped to design effective strategies, influence consumer choices, and drive positive change.

Understanding Diversity and InclusionIn today's rapidly evolving world, understanding and embracing diversity and inclusion are paramount for success in both organizational behavior and human resource management. The ability to effectively navigate the complexities of diverse workplaces and foster an inclusive environment has become a crucial skill for leaders and HR professionals alike. This subchapter aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of diversity and inclusion, their significance, and how they can be effectively integrated into organizational practices.Diversity encompasses the wide range of individual differences that exist among people, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, and physical abilities. It goes beyond mere representation, acknowledging the unique perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds that each person brings to the table. Inclusion, on the other hand, refers to creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their fullest potential. It involves actively embracing diversity and fostering a sense of belonging for all employees.Recognizing the importance of diversity and inclusion is not just morally right but also makes good business sense. Numerous studies have shown that diverse and inclusive organizations tend to be more innovative, creative, and adaptable, leading to better decision-making and problem-solving. Moreover, they attract and retain top talent, enhance employee engagement and productivity, and ultimately drive business growth.To effectively implement diversity and inclusion initiatives, organizations must first cultivate a culture of openness and acceptance. This involves developing awareness and sensitivity to different perspectives, challenging biases, and creating opportunities for cross-cultural interactions. It is crucial for leaders and HR professionals to foster an inclusive mindset and actively champion diversity in all aspects of organizational life, from recruitment and talent management to employee development and decision-making processes.Equally important is the need for robust diversity and inclusion policies and practices. Organizations should establish clear goals, metrics, and accountability mechanisms to ensure progress and hold themselves accountable for creating an inclusive workplace. This may involve implementing diversity training programs, establishing employee resource groups, and designing inclusive policies that address unconscious biases and promote equitable treatment.

This book analyzes the conflict that emerges between parties after a breach of contract and how different legal remedies can best reduce conflict. Causes for conflict include equity, efficiency, and ethical reasons that parties might consider and use to blame the other or to justify breach. In the end, if not resolved through apologies or renegotiation, conflict leads to aggrievement and behavioral reactions in form of retaliation by the victim against the promisor in breach. The book provides empirical evidence from laboratory experiments for how individuals react to perceived wrongful acts such as breach of contract and for the function of legal remedies to reduce retaliation by disappointed promisees in providing them compensation. It reveals how the inequality in the outcome, and not the inefficiency of breach of contract, causes aggrievement and retaliation by victims. The book concludes with a comparative law and economic analysis of remedies for breach of contract adopted in different leading jurisdictions, with important normative implications for the American insistence on expectation damages, the French expansion of specific performance with "e;astreinte"e;, the German junction of specific performance, expectation damages, and disgorgement damages, and the British timid acceptance of partial disgorgement damages.The book will appeal to scholars, researchers, and students of economics and law, interested in a better understanding of remedies for breach of contract.
