Climate will be decided in the global southMankind is on a dangerous journey in the Anthropocene. The destination is not yet fixed. Arriving at a good life for all within planetary boundaries is still possible. But at present, the journey is more likely to lead to an overheating of the Earth. Health and life would then be massively endangered for many living beings - including humans.A positive development is still possible, but it requires a global transformation of economy and society. The prosperous states and companies are well advised, to respect the interests of the global south and future generations, and to use wisely use the considerable financial resources in a cooperation of equals. This book- highlights past carbon missions and their consequences,- reflects on the main drivers of future emissions, - discusses strategies like green growth, de-growth, - presents market-based instruments like carbon trading and carbon border adjustment and- emphasises the key role played by the emerging countries of the global south. It is not only a matter of justice but furthermore in the interest of the rich countries in the global north to contribute massively to financing a "green leapfrogging" of the global south into a carbon-free prosperity. Failing to achieve it will bring unspeakable losses and suffering to many people all over the planet.

This book journeys through human history, beginning with the tribal age and ending with an option for what's to come after the knowledge age. It examines the profound influence that culture, civilization, and materialism have on the distribution of wealth, knowledge, and power. It critically examines the shortcomings of current education and healthcare systems, shedding light on the difficulties nations face in effectively addressing the needs of citizens and population including refugees. The author challenges the existing societal frameworks, advocating for the adoption of novel political and economic systems firmly grounded in the principles of justice, freedom, and equity. At the core of this is a folk-political system that values productivity and empowers workers and workforces to innovate.Written for a discerning audience of economists, policymakers, scholars, and students, the book shifts the paradigm of the knowledge age away from issues with power and toward a future that values justice, freedom, and sustainability. Readers will gain invaluable insights into reshaping our societies, fostering inclusive economic growth, and ensuring a better world for all.

They believe that they can achieve their goals, no matter how difficult they may seem.· They have a positive attitude. They always look for the good, even when circumstances are difficult.· They are flexible. They can adapt to change and are open to new ideas and opportunities.· They are persistent.

This book explores the early work and activities of Joan Robinson that focused on economic development within underdeveloped countries, in particular India before independence. By analysing the style of Robinson's thinking and economic analysis, and based on the works of Indian contemporaries, parts of The British Crown and the Indian States previously unattributed to her are seen to exhibit her preoccupation with poverty, backwardness, unemployment, the population problem, international trade, and the role of the state. Through keeping in mind Robinson's later work, the development of her ideas can be reflected upon, alongside critical perspectives. It also reveals the beginnings of her role as a public intellectual.This book aims to shed new light on Joan Robinson's work on development and to provide insight to an overlooked part of her research. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought, development economics and economic history.

This book is unique in that it challenges scholarly views on financial inclusion and poverty reduction while also relating financial inclusion and poverty reduction to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The book deviates from the usual method of analyzing financial inclusion, which relies on bank accounts or microcredit as success criteria, and instead discusses how the Fourth Industrial Revolution is facilitating digital financial inclusion. With a five-fold goal, this book investigates both past and present readings and understandings of poverty and financial inclusion. To begin, it provides a thorough introduction to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and financial inclusion in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Second, the book dives quite extensively into the theories of financial inclusion in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Third, the book reconstructs the theory of financial inclusion, moving from traditional to digital financial inclusion, highlighting the role of digital financial inclusion in the transition from an informal financial money market to a formal financial system. The fourth goal is to evaluate the tools and effects of digital financial inclusion on poverty. Finally, it provides case studies of digital financial inclusion and the future of digital financial inclusion in emerging and developing countries. This book will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners in a range of disciplines, including finance, development economics, and consumer economics.

This book is a treatise on cultural globalization and the global political economy. By introducing the transnational public domain in the study of Chinäs Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the book goes beyond existing theoretical frameworks involving both the ¿clash between civilizations¿ and the ¿time-worn division¿ of the world into North and South. It advances a new focus on the theoretical and empirical elements that canvass global cultural behaviours and reactionary attitudes to the expanding Chinese economic norms, cultures and values in different national contexts. Readers of political theory, global political economy, globalization, international relations, political sociology, cultural sociology, public policy and foreign policy analysis will find interest in the book. Whereas new nationalism couples with globalism, both concepts are rediscovered through various socio-economic contexts of BRI policy discourses, which produce conflicts, solidarities, new economic partnerships, and cooperation and resistance as types of contemporary nationalism. The new nationalism is approached as a dual-sided, relational, and dialectical phenomenon which readers will capture by paying particular attention to both the global and local scales of the social responses to the BRI.

How can the Kingdom of God transform the powerlessness of the poor?Jayakumar Christian argues that in order to provide sustainable solutions to powerlessness, poverty and oppression, it is critical to challenge and redefine power from the perspective of the kingdom of God.

This study contends that proper urban environmental management strategies are vital to the sustainable development of cities in any country. It demonstrates that cities as drivers of sustainable development can be positive forces in support of social equality, cultural vitality, economic prosperity and environmental sustainability. It takes a primary focus on Ibadan, Nigeria.Most cities in sub-Saharan Africa have become badly degraded. Leaders and planners rarely fully grasp the meaning of the concept of sustainable development, and fail to combine their bids to achieve economic development with urban environmental management strategies. The book describes how reformation and transformation are still possible, in Ibadan and elsewhere, and discusses the Sustainable Ibadan Project (SIP) as a methodology to turn Ibadan into a globally competitive and sustainable city. It will be of interest to urban planners worldwide, and to researchers and students of the Global South.

The art, fashion and wine industries are currently at various stages in their efforts to embrace and transition towards sustainability. While sustainability commitments are a necessary condition for progress, they are not sufficient. Instead, there is a need for sweeping transformative change that includes giving serious consideration to indigenous worldviews without recolonizing them. Sustainability in Art, Fashion and Wine includes findings from recent research and contributes to a new understanding of familiar concepts such as sustainability, (de)colonization and corporate responsibility in the art, fashion and wine industries by adopting critical lenses and incorporating them with innovative perspectives on circular business models and digitalization. It endeavors to present remedies for effectively combating climate change and promoting social good. While discussing specific issues such as sub-contracted labor, safe working conditions, living wages, environmental degradation, mismanaged waste, and more, the book argues that recognizing the significant role western colonization has played - and continues to play - in the developing world in our current conception of capitalism is itself unsustainable. To understand the true meaning of sustainability - to fully recognize the looming deadlines we face in combating the climate crisis and instituting sustainability as a new normal - the acceptance of a new conception of capitalism, one antithetical to colonization and exploitation, is required. Contributors to this book address these issues by applying a critical studies approach to their respective chapters, allowing the book to set out what real sustainability could and should look like in the art, fashion and wine industries.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a critical economic indicator that measures the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders during a specific period, typically a year or a quarter. While GDP is primarily an economic metric, its impact on society is profound and far-reaching.First and foremost, GDP reflects the overall economic health of a nation. A growing GDP signifies a thriving economy with increased job opportunities, higher incomes, and improved living standards for citizens. This economic prosperity often translates into a higher quality of life, as individuals and families have more resources to meet their basic needs, access healthcare, and pursue education.GDP also influences government policies and social programs. Higher GDP levels generate greater tax revenues, enabling governments to invest in infrastructure, healthcare, education, and social welfare programs. This, in turn, can lead to reduced poverty rates, improved public services, and a more equitable distribution of wealth. Conversely, a stagnant or declining GDP can strain public finances, making it challenging for governments to maintain essential services.Additionally, GDP plays a pivotal role in international relations and trade. Nations with robust GDP figures often wield greater political influence and negotiating power on the global stage. Strong economies can attract foreign investments, enhance diplomatic ties, and foster international cooperation, which can result in improved international stability and peace.However, it is essential to note that GDP alone does not provide a complete picture of societal well-being. It does not account for income inequality, environmental sustainability, or the distribution of wealth. Therefore, a narrow focus on GDP growth can sometimes mask social issues, such as income disparities or environmental degradation, which need to be addressed separately.In conclusion, the impact of GDP on society is multi-faceted. It influences economic prosperity, government policies, international relations, and the overall well-being of a nation's citizens. However, it is crucial to complement GDP with other indicators to ensure a comprehensive understanding of societal health and progress.

As little girls, we are encouraged to dream endlessly. We are told we can accomplish any feat we put our minds to and no opportunity is out of the realm of possibility as long as we work hard. Is this always true though? When those little girls grow up and enter the workforce, they will realize the existence of deep societal issues contributing to workplace gender inequality which inhibits women from reaching their greatest potentials. Thousands of women, whose stories remain unknown to us, have encountered gender-related obstacles that threatened to break both their resolve and the dreams they spent their childhoods forging. Generation after generation has entered the workplace, each leaving behind revolutionary change. Why shouldn't GenZ - my generation - be the ones to finally create a workforce built on both the stories of the women before us and the dreams of the girls who will come after them? Enclosed in these pages are the voices of women who fought tirelessly to prove to the world that their gender is not a limiting factor - it is a symbol of their courage and resilience. If you believe in a society that nurtures little girls' hopes - not relentlessly crushes them - this book is for you. The first step to meaningful change is simply listening to those who have already changed the world in their own unique way.

As the COVID-19 crisis comes to an end, leaders, organizations, and governments have to develop a "e;new normal"e; for doing business with a focus on protecting the environment, integrating new technologies and adapting to new social changes. Based on empirical studies and conceptual contributions from researchers and practitioners presented at the Griffiths School of Management & IT's 12th Annual Conference on Business, Entrepreneurship and Ethics (GSMAC), this proceedings volume provides a multifaceted perspective on the impact and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on various public and private systems including education, business organizations and consumer behavior. In particular, this book explores the impact of the pandemic on remote work and employee health, sustainable development, and economic growth, among others. It also highlights the role of data analysis in understanding trends, opportunities, and challenges in the above systems.

This book focuses on the recovery and new normal in a post-Covid scenario, drawing important lessons from the pandemic and proposing new ideas for sustainable development, endogenous dynamism, and inclusive growth. The book presents different ideas and perspectives about the present and the future, reflecting on four main fields of our economic reality: macroeconomics, governments, technology, and society. It discusses important topics for future economic scenarios, beginning with an estimation of the economic consequences of the absence of an equitable distribution of vaccines. Further topics discussed include the government's debts sustainability, the probability of an inflation/deflation or of a stagflation scenario, as well as the impact of US and European economic policies on economic growth.  The book further investigates the economic costs of the pandemic, which have fallen most heavily on those least able to bear them. It examines governments subsidies, which supported people and firms through wage subsidies, unemployment benefits, and other fiscal measures, and discusses the question of whether more investment in health care, education, and other public services will still be needed. In a time of immense change and global challenges, this book is a must-read for scholars, researchers, and students of economics, as well as policy-makers interested in a better understanding of economic growth, energy, environment, migration, development, digital transformation, and demography.

*A Times, Financial Times, Observer and Nature Book of the Year*'Spectacular ... this work is planetary in scale' Independent'It offers real, rich hope' Observer, Books of the YearWe still have time to change the world.

There is a power lying hidden in man, by the use of which he can rise to higher and better things. There is in man a greater Self, that transcends the finite self of the senseman, even as the mountain towers above the plain. The object of this little book is to help men and women to bring their inward powers of mind and spirit into expression, wisely and in harmony with universal law; to build up character, and to find within themselves that wondrous Self, which is their real self, and which, when found, reveals to them that they are literally and truly sons of God and daughters of the Most High. There is no way whereby the discipline of life can be avoided. There is no means by which fate can be "tricked," nor cunning device by which the great cosmic plan can be evaded. Each life must meet its own troubles and difficulties: each soul must pass through its deep waters, every heart must encounter sorrow and grief. But none need be overwhelmed in the great conflicts of life, for one who has learned the great secret of his identity with the Universal life and Power, dwells in an impregnable city, built upon and into the Rock of Truth, against which the storms of life beat in vain. While this little work does not offer any vain promises of an easy life- for, if this were possible, it would be the greatest of all disasters-but rather endeavours to show how to become so strong that life looks almost easy by comparison (the life or fate does not change or become easier, but the individual alters and becomes stronger), yet, it does show the reader how to avoid making his life more difficult than it need be. Most people's lives would be less filled with trouble and suffering if they took life in the right spirit and acted in harmony with Universal Law. It is hoped that this little book may help many to come into harmony with life's law and purpose and thus avoid much needless suffering: to find the Greater Self within, which discovery brings with it a realization of absolute security: to bring into expression and wisely use their inner spiritual and mental forces and thus enter a life of overcoming and almost boundless power.

This book contains power dressing secrets for entrepreneurs, professionals and individuals. The book contains all the ingredients that make a big difference in people's lives. It mentions various tools and techniques to help people feel confident about themselves-the way they look, feel and act.
