Over the past two centuries, economic growth has freed billions from poverty and made our lives far healthier and longer.

At this time of uncertainty about growth and its value, award-winning economist Daniel Susskind provides an essential reckoning. In a sweeping analysis full of historical insight, he argues that we cannot abandon growth but shows instead how we must redirect it, making it better reflect what we truly value.

In 1995, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin re-defined the next thirty years of currency policy that ushered in exceptional prosperity and cheap foreign goods, but the strong dollar policy also played a role in the devastating hollowing out of America’s manufacturing sector. Meanwhile, abroad, the United States increasingly turned to the dollar as a weapon of war. In Paper Soldiers, Saleha Mohsin reveals how the Treasury Department has shaped U.S. policy at home and overseas by wielding the American dollar as a weapon—and what that means in a new age of crisis.

"The National System of Political Economy" by Friedrich List, first published in 1841, is a seminal work that advocates for economic nationalism and the strategic use of protectionist policies to foster a country's economic development. List argues against the prevailing doctrine of free trade and presents a comprehensive framework for promoting domestic industry and infrastructure. His ideas have had a lasting impact on the development of industrial policy and international trade theory. The book remains a significant contribution to the understanding of economic development.

What makes the dream of self-employment so alluring, so pervasive in today's world? Benjamin C. Waterhouse offers a provocative argument: the modern cult of the hustle is a direct consequence of economic failures—bad jobs, stagnant wages, and inequality—since the 1970s. With original research, Waterhouse traces a new narrative history of business in America, populated with vivid characters—from the activists, academics, and work-from-home gurus who hailed business ownership as our economic salvation to the upstarts who took the plunge. Some flourish; some squeak by. Some fail.

Story
Hoekom is ons ryker as ons voorsate? Wat het ’n Indonesiese vulkaan en die Groot Trek gemeen? Hoe wen jy ’n Wêreldbeker? Dit is maar enkele van die vrae wat die gewilde Rapport-rubriekskrywer Johan Fourie onderhoudend verken in hierdie heerlik leesbare reis deur die geskiedenis. Hoekom floreer een groep, maar ’n ander bly ’n sukkelbestaan voer? Fourie wys waarom die bouers van ’n samelewing–eerder as dié wat afbreek–uiteindelik seëvier. Boeiend en verrassend.

Story
L’economia tocca quotidianamente la vita di tutti noi. È lo strumento usato dai governi per prendere decisioni i cui effetti riguardano intere nazioni; studia il modo e l’efficienza con cui le società utilizzano le proprie risorse; cerca di capire perché certe persone hanno ciò che serve per un’esistenza soddisfacente e altre no; regola questioni fondamentali come la scelta di costruire un ospedale, una scuola o una fabbrica.
