As the current capitalist system has been increasingly struggling to respond to the problems and uncertainties in the global economy, this book aims to identify the main economic, social, and ecological problems and discusses solutions for a more inclusive and sustainable economic system. Written by an international selection of contributors, it takes a wider perspective beyond classical orthodox economics.By doing so, this book covers a wide range of topics, such as global warming and climate change, food and energy scarcity, rising inequality and debt issues, health, ecological, economic, and political crises, degrowth, green new deals, solidarity, economy, artificial intelligence, technological change, smart solutions, and smart cities. Discussing these topics, the book presents answers to the question of whether the current capitalist system is viable and provides suggestions for a fair, inclusive, and modern economic system.Taking a comprehensive approach, thebook will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of heterodox and alternative economics.

Econ Journal Watch maintains an ongoing series of studies on classical liberalism by country. The first articles appeared in 2015. A selection of chapters from that series are here republished largely unchanged from their appearance as articles, though some also contain a postscript (written around January 2023). This second of three anticipated volumes contains chapters on Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil.

Socioeconomic development has drawn increasing attention in academia, industries, and governments. The relationship between big data and its technologies and socioeconomic development has drawn certain attention in academia. Socioeconomic development depends not only on big data, but also on big data technologies. However, the relationship between big data and socioeconomic development is not adequately covered in current research. The Handbook of Research on Driving Socioeconomic Development With Big Data provides an original and innovative understanding of and insight into how the proposed theories, technologies, and methodologies of big data can improve socioeconomic development and sustainable development in terms of business and services, healthcare, the internet of everything, sharing economy, and more. Covering topics such as corporate social responsibility, management applications, and process mining, this major reference work is an excellent resource for data scientists, business leaders and executives, IT professionals, government officials, economists, sociologists, librarians, students, researchers, and academicians.

This volume examines the relationship between trade liberalization policies and income inequality in developing countries. Using survey data for 54 developing countries, the book explores the potential trade-off between the gains from trade and the distribution of those gains and provides a quantification of the inequality-adjusted welfare gains from trade. The book begins with an introduction to the model and its methodology. Chapter 2 sets up the model and derives the formulas for the welfare e¿ects of trade policy. Chapter 3 uses the tari¿ data and the survey data to estimate those welfare e¿ects in 54 countries. Chapter 4 discusses the gains from trade and their distribution. Chapter 5 evaluates and quanti¿es the trade-ö between income gains and inequality costs of trade. Chapter 6 presents robustness tests and results from alternative models of the impacts of trade. The last chapter reviews the Household Impacts of Trade database and dashboard, which provides datafor replication and a platform that allows researchers to simulate agricultural tari¿ policy shocks. Providing a comprehensive empirical analysis of the effects of trade policy on inequality in developing countries, this volume will be of interest to researchers and students of economic inequality, development, and international trade as well as policymakers interested in the inequality and poverty consequences of trade policy.

This book covers a wide range of the issues in development studies. Recognizing the existence of manifold challenges in achieving and sustaining economic development, it is divided into four sections-(i) The Macroeconomy: Foreign Trade, Structural Transition and the Environment, (ii) Health and Standard of Living, (iii) Education, Human Capital and Evolution of the Employment Quality in India, and (iv) Banking and Credit: Access, Efficiency and Stability. The book brings together a right mix of senior and young economists who use cutting edge econometric techniques and/ or revisit a perennial question with much sharper focus and tools to unravel insights that are important and will inform tomorrow's theorisation and policy making. The volume looks at important questions like spatial concentration of low infant and child health outcomes, trade liberalisation and export quality, intergenerational occupational mobility, multidimensional poverty incidence in rural India, robustness of the banking sector, to name a few. To do so, the contributions use novel and esoteric methods like machine learning, spatial econometrics, system GMM, quintile regression and counterfactual decomposition (QRCD), and so on. The rich collection holds importance for researchers and policy makers alike, and also for practitioners working in different developmental sectors..

Change keeps accelerating. Half of key business decision-makers say constant, disruptive change is now a major challenge. Dizzy from a kaleidoscope of fashionable strategies, from digital transformation to hybrid work to disruptive innovation, leaders need a new approach.It's time to embrace a holistic approach to change — to re-architect your business to be fully responsive. A responsive organization, faced with change, doesn't just withstand or flex — it embraces change and continuously exploits it for competitive advantage.The responsive organization stands on three pillars.First, a customer-centric mindset. Gather data relentlessly; spread insights across the organization.Second, operational excellence. Redesign processes for both efficiency and flexibility, with change in mind.Third, enterprise agility. Evolve continuously to deliver more value to customers.You'll learn from groundbreaking organizations that embraced these qualities. Like the credit union where cross-functional teams identified and then eliminated a key customer pain point: blocking questionable charges on debit cards. As it transformed processes and flexed systems, customer satisfaction spiked and service calls dropped by half.Read how a massive health services company reengineered its scheduling systems to boost efficiency — and responded in scant weeks to the challenge of COVID-19. Or the huge tech company division that embraced agility and streamlined product and marketing decisions even as it doubled in size.Four practical steps, iterated over and over, advance the responsive transformation.1. Start with a vision that enables coordinated action.2. Add systems thinking for a holistic perspective on change.3. Empower teams to make decisions quickly and effectively.4. Embrace feedback loops that enable rapid course corrections.The most responsive 15% of companies consistently deliver better business results, from sales growth to share price. Responsiveness changes everything. We'll show you how to embrace it and turn change into your biggest competitive advantage.

In letzter Zeit hat die Öffentlichkeit Bedenken hinsichtlich der Auswirkungen multinationaler Unternehmen aus Schwellenländern geäußert. Die Expansion chinesischer multinationaler Unternehmen nach Europa und die Belt and Road Initiative ist ein prominentes Beispiel, das Hoffnung geweckt hat, aber auch das Bewusstsein für die langfristigen Auswirkungen geschärft hat. Auf der Grundlage einer systematischen Analyse von Internationalisierungstheorien, der Rolle ausländischer Direktinvestitionen und multinationaler Unternehmen in Verbindung mit eingehender empirischer Forschung anhand von Fallstudien in der Türkei, Russland, Lateinamerika, Asien und Europa befasst sich dieser aktuelle Sammelband mit den Chancen und Bedenken im Zusammenhang mit diesem neuen Trend. Darüber hinaus liefert er neue Erkenntnisse, die für Wissenschaftler, politische Entscheidungsträger, regionale Wirtschaftsagenturen und Studenten sowie für die breite Öffentlichkeit von großer Bedeutung sind. Durch die Konzentration auf die (potenziellen) Auswirkungen der Expansion multinationaler Unternehmen aus Schwellenländern auf Europa und die Einbeziehung einer langfristigen Perspektive bietet das Buch eine neue Sichtweise auf ein äußerst kontroverses Thema.

The global challenges confronting us ¿ climate change, poverty, inequality, and many others ¿ can feel overwhelming. Those of us who believe in market-based solutions to these challenges get even more disheartened when we regularly see our existing capitalist system failing us, often causing more harm than good. Many examples show how the capitalist tools of finance and investment can and make real, positive impact. Approaches like blended finance and impact investing can help accelerate progress against the world¿s biggest remaining collective challenges. Yet use of these improved capitalist approaches remains far too subscale. Blended finance and impact investing remain 15 to 200 times smaller than traditional approaches to finance and investment. How can we continue to make capitalism work better by scaling these approaches and others? This book looks at how we can start making these necessary changes using strategies, structures, and practices that take advantage ofcapitalism's strengths. Its goal is to demonstrate how a reimagined financial system can be more inclusive and accountable to all. By shifting away from extractive, short-term practices in the name of shareholder primacy, we can move toward a system that values the role of all stakeholders.

"The book offers a framework for how to make innovation leaps more likely - and shows how radically improved technology can help solve the major challenges the world currently faces"--
