Nonviolent Communication
This open access book explores the history of how banks and banking services have become part of everyday life. Taking welfare state Sweden as its setting, the book identifies key cultural challenges and shows how banks and finance companies made inroads into the workplace, the family, spaces of consumption and the world of social movements while also taking on tasks typically associated with state authorities. Focusing on this 'bankification of everyday life' reveals the historical links between the post-war welfare state and the financialised everyday culture of the late twentieth century. This book will be of interest to scholars of economic and cultural history and sociology, as well as those interested in the history of welfare states and the development of commercial surveillance.

Demystifying the Chinese Economy
By the late 19th century, China had degenerated into one of the world's poorest economies. Despite generations of effort for national rejuvenation, China did not reverse its fate until the market-oriented reform.

Demystifying the Chinese Economy, provides insightful answers to why China was so advanced in premodern times and what caused it to become so poor for almost two centuries. It explains how China maintained stability and grew rapidly in its transition to an open, market economy. Featuring three new chapters (and five new appendices) on challenges facing China's economic development and structural reform, this new edition covers topical issues such as the origins of US-Sino trade frictions, the impact of Donald Trump's presidency, and the development of the 'Belt and Road' initiative.

In light of the evolving socio-economic landscape in South Asia and the growing gender disparity in poverty, there is an urgent need to address these issues at the grassroots level to achieve sustainable development. CBOs play a crucial role by providing a platform for women to discuss shared challenges, develop potential solutions and create livelihood opportunities.Drawing on data from Asia's largest women's community network, this book examines how Kudumbashree, as a successful model, can serve as a guiding framework for other community networks across South Asia. It also investigates how demographic factors such as age, marital status, education, income and family size influence women's financial capability. Furthermore, this book delves into the financial wellbeing of women and explores how addressing their needs can contribute to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).By examining global initiatives aimed at empowering women economically, this book offers valuable insights for policymakers, financial social workers, scholars and organisations dedicated to advancing financial wellbeing for women and promoting sustainable development.
Realizing an Alternative Political Economy of Sustainability
Engagement with and between a plurality of progressive, non-neoclassical traditions is an important step in fostering a more capacious understanding of sustainability - both as a concept and as a political objective. To that end, this book provides a critical overview of the development of alternative perspectives on the economics of sustainability, highlighting the presence of various strands of heterodox economics and radical ecology, and arguing that greater engagement between these schools of thought is required to help formulate viable alternatives to the prevailing neoliberal ideology.The chapters in Part I of this volume, "Ecofeminism, Social Ecological Economics, Bioeconomics, Steady State", present a series of concrete policy proposals for building socially just, sustainable socio-economic processes. Each chapter utilizes the acumen of a given heterodox tradition to formulate policy reforms to secure this objective. In Part II, "Heterodox Macroeconomics and Sustainability", the contributors make the case for more radical forms of socio-economic transformation, particularly emphasizing community, local and regional level initiatives for change. The final part, "Circular Economy, Civil Economy and Other Heterodox Contributions", reflects on the potential strategic political-economic contribution of heterodox economics to building more sustainable and just socio-economic practices in a broader sense. These chapters demonstrate that heterodox economics and radical ecology can productively contribute to realizing sustainability in areas such as economic pedagogy, through working in conjunction with other social justice movements, and by challenging extant neoliberal ideologies of sustainability. They also deliberate on some of the institutional and epistemological challenges that confront heterodox practitioners seeking to make such an impact.This volume is essential reading for anyone concerned with a viable alternative conception of the economy and sustainability, including readers from all schools of heterodox economics and radical ecology, and people and organizations involved in various ways in building an alternative political economy of sustainability.

Between Payments and Credit
In unpacking credit relationships and payments over the past 1000 years in addition to how technological innovations are shifting the credit relationships/payments landscape - from barter, commodity money, single layered to dual-layered financial money systems and from CBDC to stablecoins - this book systematically explores the various techniques that have been introduced in an attempt to improve the organisation, efficiency and stability of the IOU economy as a way to mitigate or prevent the universal challenge of the IOU economy from binding. In doing so, the book first unpacks how credit relationships, payments and economic life have developed throughout history, and sheds light on how the adoption of various techniques have led to greater efficiencies in payments across time. In addition, the book also explores how technological innovations are shifting the credit relationships/payments landscape. Subsequently, the book demonstrates how the adoption of five major techniques have to a large extent mitigated (but not eliminated) the threat of the universal challenge of the IOU economy from arising. With this, the book also envisages that the adoption of systems of financial accounts provides a didactic framework for those who are interested in studying topics in credit relationships and payments at an intermediate/advanced level (e.g. masters level university students, academics etc.).
Production for Use
"Production for Use" is a seminal work exploring alternatives to traditional capitalist models, authored by Harold Loeb. Originally published, this thought-provoking analysis challenges conventional economic theories and proposes a system centered on meeting societal needs rather than maximizing profit.Loeb delves into the historical context of economic systems, critiquing the inefficiencies and inequalities inherent in market-driven production. He advocates for a shift towards prioritizing the production of goods and services that directly benefit the population, fostering a more equitable and sustainable society. This edition makes Loeb's important contribution accessible to a new generation of readers interested in economic reform and alternative economic paradigms.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Why Populism?
The rise to power of populists like Donald Trump is usually attributed to the shifting values and policy preferences of voters-the demand side. Why Populism shifts the public debate on populism and examines the other half of the equation-the supply side. Kenny argues that to understand the rise of populism is to understand the cost of different strategies for winning and keeping power. For the aspiring leader, populism-appealing directly to the people through mass communication-can be a quicker, cheaper, and more effective strategy than working through a political party. Probing the long history of populism in the West from its Ancient Greek roots to the present, this highly readable book shows that the 'economic laws of populism are constant.' 'Forget ideology. Forget resentment. Forget racism or sexism.' Populism, the author writes, is the result of a hidden strategic calculus.

An Economic History of the Iberian Peninsula, 700-2000
This is a comprehensive long-run history of economic and political change in the Iberian Peninsula. Beginning with the development of the old medieval kingdoms, it goes on to explore two countries, Portugal and Spain, which during the early modern period possessed vast empires and played an essential role in the global economic and political developments. It traces how and why both countries began to fall behind during the first stages of industrialization and modern economic growth only to achieve remarkable economic development during the second half of the twentieth century. Written by a team of leading historians, the book sheds new light on all aspects of economic history from population, agriculture, manufacturing and international trade to government, finance and welfare. The book includes extensive new data and will be an essential work of reference for scholars of Portugal and Spain and also of comparative European economic development.
National of Political Economy
National System of Political Economy presents Friedrich List's theories on national economics, advocating for protectionist policies to foster industrial development within nations. List argues against the universal applicability of free trade, suggesting that while it may benefit advanced economies, it can hinder the growth of emerging nations. He emphasizes the importance of developing a nation's productive powers through strategic government intervention, particularly in the early stages of industrialization. This work offers a historical perspective on economic thought and provides valuable insights into the debates surrounding globalization, trade, and economic development. List's ideas remain relevant for understanding the complexities of international economic relations and the role of national policies in shaping economic outcomes.
