Realistic Optimism
In the age of AI, leadership does not follow technology. It shapes its trajectory. Artificial intelligence holds extraordinary potential. Yet without thoughtful stewardship, that promise risks being wasted or misused in ways that erode trust, destabilise systems, and harm people. The question is not whether AI will transform our world, but how leaders choose to shape that transformation. How do we harness AI in ways that are powerful yet people-centred? How do we move at pace without sacrificing trust, cultural readiness, or Inclusive AI by Design? Grounded in enterprise experience and lived insight, Jamal D. Sakara Hamidu offers a practical guide for leaders determined to act with urgency, not haste; to lead with inclusion by intention, not exception; and to embed ethics, culture, and sustainable value at the core of AI transformation. Drawing on deeply transformational work with global organisations, from EY to Deutsche Bank, and on his experience building Barika Intelligence, he presents a compelling alternative to hype-fuelled manifestos and fear-driven narratives. At the heart of this book is The RAPP Way(R), a future-ready methodology designed to help organisations confront the real challenges of AI adoption: ethical complexity, evolving regulation, cultural resistance, workforce readiness, the emotional cost of change that accompanies transformation, and the short-term pressures that too often derail long-term success. Realistic Optimism offers a bold and balanced path forward for executives and policymakers seeking to lead with purpose, foresight, and integrity in the competitive age of AI.

Crypto Crises
Markets do not merely rise and fall; they teach. This book shows how crypto's greatest booms and busts reveal crypto market cycles driven by market psychology as much as code. It is for readers who want fewer sleepless nights and better decisions, not hot tips. Across crisp case studies and calm explanations, you will learn to spot common tells in exchange risk, understand stablecoin design, and read investor behavior without getting lost in jargon. You will see how defi risks often bundle leverage in friendly packaging, why scam detection begins with incentives, and how to build risk management habits that travel from bitcoin history to newer experiments. The result is a practical way to create a long term strategy you can actually follow. No forecasts, no promises, just a clearer mental model for volatile assets and a simple operating manual for the next cycle.
Bitcoin vs. Banks
A struggle over the rules of value is unfolding in plain sight. On one side sit institutions that manage risk through hierarchy; on the other, a neutral network that clears value without permission. This book explains what is at stake when bitcoin vs banks becomes more than a slogan: it becomes a question about citizenship, autonomy, and the architecture of trust. Clear, grounded chapters unpack central banking history, the mechanics of banking power structures, and why a decentralised currency can both empower and expose. Readers seeking perspective on institutional adoption and the regulation of bitcoin will find a practical lens rather than hype. You will learn how incentives shape custody, how narratives move boardrooms, and how design choices hardwire rights into payment rails. For investors of ideas, policy watchers, and builders, this is a field guide to economic sovereignty and the future of money. It offers language to debate monetary policy debate with confidence and tools to imagine financial system reform without naive promises. The result is clarity: who gains control, who bears risk, and how your money's pathways define your freedom.

Economic Governance Technology
Economic Governance Technology was written with not only the belief, but also a sense of certainty, that insights and tools provided by modern science and technology, combined with basic human values and basic logic, will allow the creation of a new economic governance technology. This technology will make it possible to build efficient and productive economies, ensuring full employment and a fair distribution of wealth - all without having to go through depressions, major recessions, or large fluctuations in the interest rate. Moreover, all this can be done even amid major shifts in technology, natural disasters, and epidemics. Peter G. Hammerschlag, a mechanical engineer with a large variety of experience in the real economy of making goods and providing services, in large companies and in small companies, outlines such a technology in this book. He does so using basic, practical language that even the lay person can grasp. The ideas he presents can be viewed initially as an additional branch of economics. However, they will eventually make substantial parts of present-day economics obsolete. This new technology, when fully developed, will make it possible to monitor, guide and, when needed, control an economy for the benefit of all, ensuring productivity, full employment, a fair distribution of wealth, and sufficient allocation of resources to public services and preparations for the future.

Case studies span Greece, Italy, the United States, Thailand, and the Middle East, providing insights into global patterns of demographic and regional disparities.
The Cost of Cool
The city of Austin consistently leads lists of fastest-growing and most-desirable places to live--a simultaneous source of pride and anxiety for residents. In The Cost of Cool: Austin's Tech Growth and the People Left Behind, author Jon Roberts and his contributors investigate Austin's evolving identity and tackle a question posed repeatedly by community and business leaders nationally: How did Austin, Texas, become a global tech leader? More broadly, this book focuses on economic development and policy dilemmas faced by growing cities while maintaining both social equity and the elusive qualities of "place" that attract creative and innovative talent.Echoing themes raised by other urbanist scholars, Roberts and his collaborators do not shy away from the controversial aspects of tax incentives, environmental issues, cultural loss, and economic exclusion. While tackling the problems raised by unbridled growth, they also address concerns of younger workers who are increasingly prioritizing "place" over "job."Finally, and perhaps most importantly, The Cost of Cool emphasizes the centrality of vision: for growth (as Austin's population doubles every twenty years); for openness (often driven by the influence of the South by Southwest conference and Austin's music scene); and for the future of the tech industry (including the implications of forty years of commitment to semiconductors, software, and social media). The Cost of Cool informs the ongoing debate over how to foster economic growth without degrading the quality-of-life characteristics that help make it possible.
Foundations of Macroeconomics
This book presents an integrated framework for understanding macroeconomics by linking economic theory, policy analysis, and real-world practice within a unified analytical structure. It examines how aggregate output, employment, inflation, and growth emerge from the interaction of households, firms, markets, and institutions, with particular attention to the microeconomic foundations that shape macroeconomic outcomes. Core topics include macroeconomic measurement, labor and capital markets, expectations, fiscal and monetary policy, and the conditions under which economic systems function efficiently or experience prolonged periods of underperformance. The book is intended for students, academics, and readers with an interest in economics who seek a rigorous yet structured treatment of macroeconomic analysis beyond introductory surveys. It adopts a theoretical and analytical approach, supported by formal reasoning, graphical analysis, and selected mathematical tools, while emphasizing the integration of classical and non-classical perspectives to clarify policy choices in both short-run stabilization and long-run economic performance.

How to Think Like an Economist
This book will leave the reader not just smarter - but wiser. -- Professor Erik Angner, Stockholm University, author of How Economics Can Save the World We live in the economy - and we are part of it. Living through a pandemic, governments had to work out how to put economies into a deep freeze without destroying them. Avoiding climate catastrophe means changing economies so that they don't bake the world. In explaining how economic thinking is indispensable to tackling these huge problems, this book is a sure-footed guide, spanning Aristotle's ideas about restraining consumption, Adam Smith's thinking about the importance of moral character for sustained economic development, and Esther Duflo's ongoing work to help the world's poorest communities lift themselves out of poverty. It shows how the greatest economic thinkers - Karl Marx, Maynard Keynes, and Friedrich Hayek, among many others - have enabled us to see the world differently, and how we can make it better. It shows that economic thinking emerged, long before there were economists - and that good economics is about much more than the economy, so everyone should understand these vital ideas. Entertaining and educational, you'll soon be rethinking what you know about economics, especially when the book shows how women found a place in the development of ideas even when discrimination denied them any formal role.

Start engineering coherence. The future belongs to coherent nations.
The 8 Laws of Employee Experience
Organizations around the world have lost their way. It's time to get back to basics and focus on what really drives people and performance. In chasing talent, organizations have turned employee experience into an entitlement culture - lavishing perks without accountability, lowering standards in the name of empathy, and confusing short-term fixes with long-term solutions. The result? Performance suffers, leaders are scared to lead, and culture drifts. The 8 Laws of Employee Experience is a reset, a new framework to build a future-ready organization in an AI driven world. Best-selling author and professionally trained futurist Jacob Morgan shows that employee experience must return to its core: a value exchange where employees contribute, grow, and lead, and where organizations enable them to thrive. Based on over 100 CHRO interviews at companies like Verizon, Delta, Hilton, IBM, and LVMH, Morgan lays out eight unshakeable laws that form the new operating system for the future of work. This book isn't just about where we are today - it's about where employee experience is going over the next decade, and how leaders can design the future instead of being dragged into it. After reading this book you'll learn how to: Separate signal from noise in an era of trend-chasing with the STEEPLE methodology Discover the eight laws required to build a future-ready organization and how to implement them Use futurist frameworks like the Cone of Possibilities to map out multiple employee experience scenarios Conduct a future-ready audit to see where your company stands today and where it must go next Explore the five potential futures of employee experience and how to steer your organization towards the right one Challenge the myth that employee experience is about making people happy Combining insights from CHROs who are collectively leading millions of people around the world with a futurist framework, The 8 Laws of Employee Experience: How to Build a Future-Ready Organization offers a blueprint to design organizations that don't just adapt to the future but build it. You'll see what works, what fails, and what the future demands.
Basic Ideas of National Socialist Economic Policy
Basic Ideas of National Socialist Economic Policy (Second Edition) presents a carefully assembled collection of foundational economic writings from one of the most consequential political movements of the twentieth century. Centered on the work of early economic theorist Gottfried Feder and supplemented with additional contemporary texts, this volume offers readers direct access to the economic concepts, arguments, and priorities that shaped a distinct and highly structured worldview.Rather than offering retrospective interpretation or modern commentary, the book allows the original authors to speak in their own words. It traces how questions of finance, labor, property, agriculture, and state authority were woven into a unified economic framework intended to address national crisis, social dislocation, and systemic instability. The result is a coherent presentation of an alternative economic model that rejected both laissez-faire liberalism and orthodox Marxism, proposing instead a state-directed order grounded in production, obligation, and long-term national planning.This second edition expands the scope of the original work by situating Feder's economic program alongside related period documents and policy statements. Together, these texts illuminate how economic theory was translated into political demands, and how abstract principles were articulated as practical solutions to unemployment, debt, land reform, middle-class decline, and food security. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of agriculture, the restructuring of credit, and the relationship between private property and public responsibility.The volume also reproduces key programmatic statements in full, enabling readers to examine the economic dimension of the movement's platform as it was formally presented. By preserving the language, structure, and internal logic of these documents, the book serves as a valuable resource for understanding how economic policy was framed as inseparable from broader social and political goals.Intended for serious readers, researchers, and students of economic history, political theory, and twentieth-century Europe, Basic Ideas of National Socialist Economic Policy offers a rare primary-source window into an influential and highly disciplined system of thought. It does not seek to persuade or reinterpret, but to document and preserve-providing the materials necessary for informed study of one of history's most ambitious attempts to redefine the relationship between economy, state, and society.

Navigating economic development in Cameroon
This book is an analytical compendium of Cameroon's economic development policies, from 1960 to 2006. It opens with the country's colonial economic experiences and proceeds with an analysis of its initial economic development guidelines in the early 1960s, fundamentally based on development planning and planned liberalism, executed through Five Years Development Plans. Cameroon's early development emphasis was on industrialisation, later deduced to be too costly and slow in spurring growth. Agriculture was thus endorsed in the early 1970s, as a primary strategy to boost real development in the country. It was in this backdrop that precepts like the green revolution, self-reliance development, food self-sufficiency and others were adopted. The book rounds off with the different measures implemented by the Cameroon government, Bretton Woods institutions and others, to restore and sustain the country's economy during and after the economic crisis. It argues that while the principles underlying Cameroon's economic development were resilient, they fell short of expected outcomes.

When not writing or speaking, Advik loves to play guitar, explore new ideas, solve problems, and find practical ways to apply financial concepts in everyday life. His goal is simple: to empower young readers to take control of their financial future and believe that they can make a difference starting now.

Growth
One of Barack Obama's 10 Favorite Books of the YearOne of the New Yorker's Best Books of the YearFinalist for the Financial Times Best Book of the Year A vivid account of the past, present, and future of economic growth, showing how and why we must continue to pursue it while responding to the challenges it creates. Over the past two centuries, economic growth has freed billions from the struggle for subsistence. Yet prosperity has come at a price: environmental destruction, desolation of local cultures, the emergence of vast inequalities. Many respond that now is the time to shrink our economic footprint. But Daniel Susskind argues that such "degrowth" would be folly. Instead, we must keep growth but redirect it, making it better reflect our values. Growth: A History and a Reckoning shows how policymaking in the second half of the twentieth century came to revolve around a single-minded quest for greater GDP. The growth obsession has been met with the assertion that "we cannot have infinite growth on a finite planet." Susskind shows, though, that growth is a product not of resource exploitation but of new ideas. In that sense, growth really can be infinite. Still, he says, critics are right to insist that we can no longer focus on upsides alone. We must confront tradeoffs: societies will have to deliberately pursue less growth for the sake of other goals. These will be moral decisions, not simply economic ones, demanding the engagement not just of politicians and experts but of all citizens.
The Policy Nexus
Have you ever wondered how the world's most powerful economic decisions are actually made? This book, The Policy Nexus, takes you inside the engine rooms of global economic policy. It explores how nations manage their economies using monetary and fiscal strategies. We journey from the theories of Keynes to the modern challenges of inflation targeting. The book examines the tools central banks use, like interest rates and quantitative easing. It also dives into government tools like taxes and stimulus spending. You'll see these ideas in action through 15 distinct case studies from around the world. We'll look at the US Federal Reserve's post-pandemic strategy and Japan's long battle with deflation. We'll analyze Germany's shift away from austerity and China's management of its currency. From Brazil's fight against hyperinflation to the UK's path after Brexit, each chapter connects a core theme to a real country's experience. The book explains how recent crises have forced an unprecedented level of coordination between governments and central banks, blurring the traditional lines between them. Most books treat monetary and fiscal policy as separate subjects. The Policy Nexus argues this view is outdated and no longer tenable. Instead of a dry, country-by-country survey, this book uses a unique theme-driven approach. This comparative framework provides a deep and nuanced understanding of how economic theory is applied in the real world. It allows you to see how different nations have grappled with shared challenges, from sovereign debt crises to the limits of central bank independence. The book gives you a holistic view, revealing the deep interdependencies between monetary, fiscal, and financial stability policies. It also digs into the political economy of these decisions-the pressures, institutions, and politics that are just as important as the economic models themselves. It is this focus on the interconnected, real-world policy nexus that offers a practical and insightful guide to the modern macroeconomic landscape.

The Art of Digital Transformation: A System Integrator's Playbook Technology is fundamentally reshaping business, requiring a digital transformation that is more than mere evolution-it's a complete reimagining of the enterprise. For over 25 years, I've navigated this revolution, from the early days of global PeopleSoft and Oracle eBS to the pioneering forefront of Oracle Fusion Cloud transformations. My journey spans continents and diverse industries-from Fortune 500 energy and aerospace giants to critical public sector institutions. As a former Big-Four Consulting Partner and now a Managing Director at Optimum Transformation Advisory, I've had the privilege of leading massive, intricate programs, architecting business process redesigns, and deploying modern platforms that drive immense value. This book distills that quarter-century of experience, including directing and delivering eight cloud enterprise global programs and solutioning over 65 strategic roadmaps. These are case studies in the intricate balance of scope, schedule, budget, and resources, all orchestrated to unlock measurable business value. Digital transformation is not just about adopting new tech; it's about reimagining your entire enterprise footprint. It demands understanding Value Realization Frameworks, leveraging powerful enterprise applications (Oracle, Salesforce, SAP), and implementing a Capability-Led Business Process Design. The Art of Digital Transformation is your system integrator consulting playbook. It moves beyond technicalities to explore the strategic vision, meticulous planning, and leadership required to truly innovate and achieve unparalleled success in the digital age. The journey to cloud technologies begins now.
Capitalism
A New York Times Notable Book - A Financial Times Best Book of the Year "A learned, formidable and vivid story... Readers around the world will study and ponder this monumental work of history, agreeing and arguing with it, all the while affirming its generational importance, for decades to come." -- Marcus Rediker, The New York Times "Epic... Read this book and you will learn innumerable things you did not previously know culled from places you have never been... [Readers], including me, will be genuinely grateful for exposure to this breadth of scholarship and be glad to have a valuable tool of reference on their shelves." -John Kay, Financial Times A landmark event years in the making, a brilliant global narrative that unravels the defining story of the past thousand years of human history No other phenomenon has shaped human history as decisively as capitalism. It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organize our politics. Sven Beckert, author of the Bancroft Prize-winning Empire of Cotton, places the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework, tracing its history during the past millennium and across the world. An epic achievement, his book takes us into merchant businesses in Aden and car factories in Turin, onto the terrifyingly violent sugar plantations in Barbados, and within the world of women workers in textile factories in today's Cambodia. Capitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from trading communities across Asia, Africa, and Europe, capitalism's radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. But then it burst onto the world scene, as a powerful alliance between European states and merchants propelled them, and their economic logic, across the oceans. This, Beckert shows, was modern capitalism's big bang, and one of its epicenters was the slave labor camps of the Caribbean. This system, with its hierarchies that haunt us still, provided the liftoff for the radical transformations of the Industrial Revolution. Fueled by vast productivity increases along with coal and oil, capitalism pulled down old ways of life to crown itself the defining force of the modern world. This epic drama, shaped by state-backed institutions and imperial expansion, corresponded at no point to an idealized dream of free markets. Drawing on archives on six continents, Capitalism locates important modes of agency, resistance, innovation, and ruthless coercion everywhere in the world, opening the aperture from heads of state to rural cultivators. Beckert shows that despite the dependence on expansion, there always have been, and are still, areas of human life that the capitalist revolution has yet to reach. By chronicling capitalism's global history, Beckert exposes the reality of the system that now seems simply "natural." It is said that people can more easily imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. If there is one ultimate lesson in this extraordinary book, it's how to leave that behind. Though cloaked in a false timelessness and universality, capitalism is, in reality, a recent human invention. Sven Beckert doesn't merely tote up capitalism's debits and credits. He shows us how to look through and beyond it to imagine a different and larger world.

From Crash to Conflict
A world once convinced of progress was brought to its knees when prosperity turned to ruin. As banks collapsed and unemployment soared, despair spread faster than recovery ever could. Out of this turbulence emerged not only hunger and hardship but also the seductive promises of authoritarian voices. This book reveals how the Great Depression history was not simply an economic downturn but the spark that ignited the rise of fascism in Europe, empowered communists, and fractured fragile democracies worldwide.Through gripping narratives and comparative insights, readers are taken inside the breadlines of America, the rallies of Weimar Germany, the propaganda halls of Moscow, and the militarised ambitions of Japan. Each chapter unpacks how economic collapse and democracy are bound in a precarious relationship-how financial ruin opens doors to ideologies that promise certainty, identity, and revenge.This is not just a history of the 1930s; it is a mirror for our time. As financial crises, polarisation, and populism once again dominate headlines, the book connects the political consequences of Depression to present dilemmas. It asks urgent questions: What makes societies choose extremism over reform? Can institutions survive shocks of similar magnitude today?Readers seeking a deeper understanding of the causes of World War II, the dynamics of authoritarianism and markets, and the enduring lessons from 1930s politics will find both clarity and warning here.- Discover how economic despair dismantled democratic trust- Trace the pathways from history of economic crises to war and global upheaval- Learn why the 1930s remain a guide to understanding democracy under economic stressProvocative, meticulously researched, and globally resonant, this work offers more than historical detail-it equips readers with the insight to recognise how fragile freedom becomes when fear outpaces hope.

Violent Saviors
A celebrated economist argues that economic development is not really development unless everyone has the right to consent to their own progress "An innovative and exhilarating read."--Angus Deaton, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics A Financial Times Best Book of the Year For centuries, the developed Western world has exploited the less-developed "Rest" in the name of progress, conquering the Americas, driving the Atlantic slave trade, and colonizing Africa and Asia. Throughout, the West has justified this global conquest by the alleged material gains it brought to the conquered. But the colonial experiment unintentionally revealed how much of a demand there was for self-determination, and not just for relief from poverty. In Violent Saviors, renowned economist William Easterly examines how the demand for agency has always been at the heart of debates on development. Spanning nearly four centuries of global history, Easterly argues that commerce, rather than conquest, could meet the need for equal rights as well as the need for prosperity. Looking to the liberal economic ideas of thinkers like Adam Smith, Milton Friedman, and Amartya Sen, Easterly shows how the surge in global trade has given agency to billions of people for the first time. Narrating the long debate between conquest and commerce, Easterly offers a new and urgent perspective on global economics: the demands for agency, dignity, and respect must be at the center of the global fight against poverty.
The Age of Extraction
A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF 2025 - Tech platforms manipulate attention, extract wealth, and deepen inequality. In this new book, Tim Wu (The Attention Merchants) explains how we can reclaim control and create a balanced economy that works for everyone. "The magic of Tim Wu's The Age of Extraction is its simplicity. Wu deftly breaks down one of the greatest challenges of our age--the unaccountable power of tech platforms--into such digestible pieces that the solutions for what to do become dead obvious. Essential reading."--Karen Hao, author of Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI "It's not just in your head--your online life is draining your wallet.... [The Age of Extraction is] a sharp and eye-opening introduction to how we arrived at platform capitalism--where no good click goes unmonetized."--Kirkus Reviews Our world is dominated by a handful of tech platforms. They provide great conveniences and entertainment, but also stand as some of the most effective instruments of wealth extraction ever invented, seizing immense amounts of money, data, and attention from all of us. An economy driven by digital platforms and AI influence offers the potential to enrich us, and also threatens to marginalize entire industries, widen the wealth gap, and foster a two-class nation. As technology evolves and our markets adapt, can society cultivate a better life for everyone? Is it possible to balance economic growth and egalitarianism, or are we too far gone? Tim Wu--the preeminent scholar and former White House official who coined the phrase "net neutrality"--explores the rise of platform power and details the risks and rewards of working within such systems. The Age of Extraction tells the story of an Internet that promised widespread wealth and democracy in the 1990s and 2000s, only to create new economic classes and aid the spread of autocracy instead. Wu frames our current moment with lessons from recent history--from generative AI and predictive social data to the antimonopoly and crypto movements--and envisions a future where technological advances can serve the greatest possible good. Concise and hopeful, The Age of Extraction offers consequential proposals for taking back control in order to achieve a better economic balance and prosperity for all.
The Vanishing 'Shining City on a Hill'
The U.S. liberal democratic capitalist system has fallen short of its pronouncements. This is evident in the notable challenges faced by the middle class, whose economic and social conditions have deteriorated, leading to discontent, apathy, and a decline in public trust in the country's key institutions. Moreover, the United States has experienced a decline in its global role, influence, and reputation. Once viewed as a beacon of democracy and a leader on the world stage, even if not always merited, America's standing has been undermined by several internal and external challenges. Political polarization, an inconsistent and ineffectual foreign policy, and the absence of a unified vision have diminished allies' trust and emboldened adversaries. Critically, the U.S. media has failed in its essential role to shield the American public from abuses of power and to help establish a reliable and independent framework to identify the risks that threaten core American democratic values. I hope that by reading this book, American workers, parents, students, legislators, judges, corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, politicians, religious and spiritual leaders, financial regulators, journalists, and aspiring citizens will be reminded of America's strength and promise, and recognize the significant impact that individual action, or inaction, has on the quality of the U.S. way of life and sustainability of its ideals. Remaining silent, disengaged, or vilifying other Americans has put our children, grandchildren, and future generations at risk. I also hope that the book's contents will, in some small measure, help counter the pandemic of disinformation and discord infecting U.S. political discourse.
