State of Social Protection Report 2025
The past decade has been a success for social protection, with coverage expanding to 4.7 billion people across low- and middle-income countries. The expansion of social protection is great news for the world's poorest. Yet, across low- and middle-income countries, 2 billion people remain uncovered or inadequately covered by social protection. Furthermore, many of the 4.4 billion people in low- and middle-income countries who benefit from social protection may not receive the type and intensity of support they need in a world in transition. The report documents advances and challenges to strengthen social protection and labor systems across low- and middle-income countries, and discusses avenues to gradually close the coverage gap for the world's poorest. The path of reforms will depend on country context, capacity and fiscal space. In low-income countries, the report argues for a gradual expansion of social protection, prioritizing the coverage of poor and vulnerable populations through social assistance and economic inclusion programs. In middle-income countries, the report calls for strengthening social protection and labor systems, expanding and integrating the offer of services, and increasing reliance on contributory social insurance. The rising frequency of shocks and crises - including climate-related - also calls for major investments in social protection and labor systems' adaptability and preparedness. To achieve more and better social protection, investments in delivery systems (such as social registries, case management, payment and monitoring systems) will be essential, as they support more effective and better tailored social policies, more progressive fiscal policies, and greater shock responsiveness. The time for boosting ambition is now. Growing headwinds of change demand both increased investment and a fundamental shift in approach - from short-term reactions to proactive, long-term adaptation, and from siloed actions to integrated agendas.

The Making of a Permabear
"The tension between what the market is doing and what, by the author's lights, it ought to be doing, will keep investment-minded readers turning these smart and accessible pages....[A] fine and essential work."--James Grant, The Wall Street JournalFrom the renowned iconoclast investor comes a brilliant account of sixty years spent hunting for value and sidestepping bubbles in a changing financial worldWhen Jeremy Grantham entered the investment business in the 1960s, he brought the thrifty Quaker values and Yorkshire independence he had been raised with. While other money managers were focused on blue chip stocks, he studied stock market history and constructed by hand the first indices for small-cap and value stocks. Charting their ebb and flow, he could see clearly the powerful force that would become central to his investment philosophy: mean reversion, "the heartbreaking principle that good times always revert back to more boring, more ordinary times."In the early 1970s Grantham was a pioneer of index investing. Soon after, he co-founded GMO and spent the firm's early earnings on a hard drive the size of an industrial washing machine, becoming the first firm to use a computer for investment analysis. This quantitative style went on to take over the industry. In the late 1990s Grantham acquired notoriety as a "permabear" for refusing to buy into the dotcom mania. Clients left in droves--one called him "dangerously persuasive and totally wrong"--but he was vindicated when the bubble burst in 2000. Yet while his wealth grew, so did his alarm at the disastrous consequences of short-term thinking not just for investors but for the very future of the planet, and he has directed nearly all his wealth to environmental protection.Written with his former colleague, the bestselling financial historian Edward Chancellor, The Making of a Permabear is replete with investment insights and provides a compellingly candid and witty insider's tour of the booms and busts of the past half century.

Many Me
MANY ME is a memoir written primarily for family and friends. I do not suffer from multiple personality disorder or schizophrenia; but there have been many aspects to my life. Many Me's. I struggled, growing up, with what career path to follow, and made a sudden change from engineer to ordained pastor. In retirement, I was able to devote more time to art and writing, and now consider myself an artist, an author, and a poet. This book describes my journey through many possible Me's to the Me I am today. JIM BORNZIN loved to draw as a child; and during high school he worked as an apprentice at his uncle's commercial art studio in Chicago. Jim graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in Science Engineering and worked as an engineering draftsman during the summers. Still uncertain about his future career, he decided to attend Lutheran seminary for a year, just to learn more about his faith and the Bible. His third year took him on internship to Spokane, Washington, where he met his wife-to-be; and became convinced that he could be a pastor, and might even enjoy it!

Coming Into View
An expertly crafted evaluation of forces shaping the economy over the coming decade and portfolio management strategies designed to harness them In Coming Into View: How AI and Other Megatrends Will Shape Your Investments, Vanguard's Global Chief Economist and head of its Investment Strategy Group, Joe Davis, makes a simple and profound argument: that the "status quo" view of the United States economy - one of predictable and relatively constant measures of growth, inflation, and financial returns - is actually deeply unlikely to hold true in the future. The book demonstrates how the promise of artificial intelligence and technological advancement may push against the daunting headwinds of slowing population growth, rising geopolitical tensions and growing national debt, to reshape the economy in ways that conventional thinking overlooks. Davis presents an innovative and original, data-driven framework to consider the probabilities of the coming tug-of-war between AI-fueled growth and inflationary structural fiscal deficits, that can help guide investors as they build investment portfolios to weather uncertain years ahead. Inside the book: Effective strategies for investors attempting to prepare for different economic possibilities and scenarios in the world. New data and models to better quantify the impact of economic forces and uncover the risks of relying on consensus assumptions. Techniques to avoid common investment mistakes in times of economic change, such as doubling down on technology stocks, or avoiding certain types of investments. Guiding investing principles to help achieve greater financial returns, on a risk-adjusted basis. A must-read resource for professional and retail investors, Coming Into View is a startlingly insightful and practical guide for anyone seeking to engage with the financial markets as an informed and confident investor.
