Unemployment and Inflation in Economic Crises
by Michael CarlbergThis book studies unemployment and inflation in economic crises, first considering the scenario of a demand shock in Europe. In that case, monetary and fiscal interaction would cause widespread oscillations in European unemployment and European inflation. And what is more, there would be equally far-reaching fluctuations in the European money supply and European government purchases. These monetary and fiscal interactions would have no effects on the American economy. Second, it examines the scenario of a supply shock in Europe, in which monetary and fiscal interactions would have no effects on European unemployment or European inflation; there would also be an explosion of European government purchases and an implosion of the European money supply. Monetary and fiscal interactions would produce uniform oscillations in American unemployment and American inflation. Lastly, we would also see an implosion of both the American money supply and American government purchases.

The Unemployed
by Eli GinzbergThis classic study of the effect of unemployment and of the ways of relieving it upon actual, typical families of the 1930s and 1940s is a vivid, startling picture of the demoralizing influence and consequences of America's relief policies during the Depression years. The study comprises an incisive interpretation of the problem and a series of absorbing human interest stories of representative families on relief cases selected from experiences of relief, including the records of families from various religious groups in an exhaustive study conducted in New York City.Most research on unemployment of the 1930s conspicuously lacks studies of the unemployed themselves. Yet, this is the crux of the matter necessary to truly understand the cbnsequences of unemployment then and now, so as to deal with it intelligently and efficiently. This book deals with what employment does to people. It answers important questions about the unemployed that are rarely asked. Who are they? Did they fail to earn a living even in prosperous times? What precipitated their unemployment? Do they prefer relief to work? Did unemployment bring about changes in how they think and feel? This is a volume of continuing relevance, and will be of interest to legislators, economists, social scientists, social workers, and psychologists.

Unelected Power: The Quest for Legitimacy in Central Banking and the Regulatory State
by Paul TuckerGuiding principles for ensuring that central bankers and other unelected policymakers remain stewards of the common goodCentral bankers have emerged from the financial crisis as the third great pillar of unelected power alongside the judiciary and the military. They pull the regulatory and financial levers of our economic well-being, yet unlike democratically elected leaders, their power does not come directly from the people. Unelected Power lays out the principles needed to ensure that central bankers, technocrats, regulators, and other agents of the administrative state remain stewards of the common good and do not become overmighty citizens.Paul Tucker draws on a wealth of personal experience from his many years in domestic and international policymaking to tackle the big issues raised by unelected power, and enriches his discussion with examples from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and the European Union. Blending economics, political theory, and public law, Tucker explores the necessary conditions for delegated but politically insulated power to be legitimate in the eyes of constitutional democracy and the rule of law. He explains why the solution must fit with how real-world government is structured, and why technocrats and their political overseers need incentives to make the system work as intended. Tucker explains how the regulatory state need not be a fourth branch of government free to steer by its own lights, and how central bankers can emulate the best of judicial self-restraint and become models of dispersed power.Like it or not, unelected power has become a hallmark of modern government. This critically important book shows how to harness it to the people's purposes.

Uneconomic Economics and the Crisis of the Model World (Building a Sustainable Political Economy: SPERI Research & Policy)
by M. WatsonWhat has gone wrong with economics? Economists now routinely devise highly sophisticated abstract models that score top marks for theoretical rigour but are clearly divorced from observable activities in the current economy. This creates an 'uneconomic economics', where models explain relationships in blackboard rather than real-life markets.
Uneconomic Economics And The Crisis Of The Model World (Building a Sustainable Political Economy: SPERI Research & Policy)
by Matthew WatsonMatthew Watson analyses the political response to imploding markets through the lens of the history of thought, asking 'what has gone wrong with economics?' against the backdrop of the global financial crisis. The most important historical trend, he suggests, is the development of an 'uneconomic economics' whereby attention is placed on explaining relationships in perfectly efficient blackboard markets rather than the much more chaotic institutions encountered in everyday economic interactions. Economists now routinely devise highly sophisticated abstract models which are theoretically rigorous but fail to capture the way businesses are actually undertaken. The acknowledgement of a gap between models and the real world has led many commentators to initially pronounce that the financial crisis was equally a crisis of economics. The author shows, though, that the subsequent redefinition of the crisis as a problem of over-extended state spending has successfully rehabilitated the model world of orthodox economics opinion.

Unearthing the Real Process Behind the Event Data: The Case for Increased Process Realism (Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing #412)
by Gert JanssenswillenThis book is a revised version of the PhD dissertation written by the author at Hasselt University in Belgium. This dissertation introduces the concept of process realism. Process realism is approached from two perspectives in this dissertation. First, quality dimensions and measures for process discovery are analyzed on a large scale and compared with each other on the basis of empirical experiments. It is shown that there are important differences between the different quality measures in terms of feasibility, validity and sensitivity. Moreover, the role and meaning of the generalization dimension is unclear. Second, process realism is also tackled from a data point of view. By developing a transparent and extensible tool-set, a framework is offered to analyze process data from different perspectives. From both perspectives, recommendations are made for future research, and a call is made to give the process realism mindset a central place within process mining analyses. In 2020, the PhD dissertation won the “BPM Dissertation Award”, granted to outstanding PhD theses in the field of Business Process Management.
Une politique mondiale pour Nourrir le monde
by Edgard Pisani Marc LebiezLa faim n’a pas disparu, et surtout elle pourrait s’étendre si l’humanité va bien vers les neuf milliards d’individus au milieu du siècle. Il n’est pas certain que le monde puisse nourrir le monde. Les experts internationaux qui négocient dans le cadre de l’OMC sont convaincus que la persistance de soutiens publics à l’agriculture dans certains pays est le principal obstacle actuel au développement des plus pauvres. L’idée paraît évidente, ce n’est pas pour autant qu’elle serait vraie. Pour qu’elle le soit, il faudrait que les denrées agricoles puissent être produites et échangées dans des conditions semblables à celles que l’on observe pour les marchandises industrielles. Cela est plus que douteux. À supposer, en second lieu, que les marchés agricoles puissent être entièrement soumis au mécanisme du libre-échange mondial, celui-ci aurait pour effet (attendu et même espéré) de ruiner les producteurs les moins rentables au profit des plus rentables. Mais peut-on impunément ruiner la moitié des habitants de la terre? Le problème n’est même pas moral, il est concret: que deviennent ces milliards de miséreux? Certains se révoltent ; d’autres émigrent massivement; d’autres encore louent leur force de travail pour des salaires infimes, provoquant la délocalisation de la quasi-totalité des industries du monde, et la ruine des régions où elles étaient installées. Edgard Pisani, dont on connaît l’action tant en faveur de l’agriculture française et européenne que du développement, a réuni une vingtaine d’experts – agronomes, démographes, hauts fonctionnaires, économistes, banquiers, politiques, paysans – et il leur a posé ces questions. Ils ont confronté leurs analyses en séminaire, oralement et par écrit; sur l’essentiel, leurs visions s’accordent. La conclusion peut être ainsi tirée par Edgard Pisani: une agriculture moderne à dimensionartisanale peut assurer la production des denrées alimentaires nécessaires à neuf milliards d’humains, tout en garantissant la survie économique d’un grand nombre d’agriculteurs dans le monde.
Undue Influence: How the Wall Street Elite Puts the Financial System at Risk
by Charles R. GeisstA critical look at over 80 years of conflict, collusion, and corruption between financiers and politicians Undue Influence paints a vivid portrait of the dealings between "the few", in this case members of Congress, the banking community, and the Fed, and sheds light on how radical new deregulatory measures could be introduced by unelected officials and then foisted upon Congress in the name of progress. In the process, the background of the new financial elite is examined-because they are markedly different than their predecessors of the 1920s and 1930s. Undue Influence also brings readers up to speed on other important issues, including how the financial elite has been able to perpetuate itself, how the markets lend themselves to these special interest groups, and how it is possible that after 80 years of financial regulation and regulatory bodies the same problems of financial malfeasance and fraud still plague the markets. Charles R. Geisst (Oradell, NJ) is the author of 15 books, including Wheels of Fortune (0-471-47973-X), Deals of the Century (0-471-26397-4) and the bestsellers Wall Street: A History and 100 Years of Wall Street. Geisst has taught both political science and finance, worked in banking and finance on Wall Street and in London, as well as consulted. His articles have been published in the International Herald Tribune, Neue Zurcher Zeitung, Newsday, Wall Street Journal, and Euromoney.

Undoing Work, Rethinking Community: A Critique of the Social Function of Work
by James A. ChamberlainThis revolutionary book presents a new conception of community and the struggle against capitalism. In Undoing Work, Rethinking Community, James A. Chamberlain argues that paid work and the civic duty to perform it substantially undermines freedom and justice. Chamberlain believes that to seize back our time and transform our society, we must abandon the deep-seated view that community is constructed by work, whether paid or not. Chamberlain focuses on the regimes of flexibility and the unconditional basic income, arguing that while both offer prospects for greater freedom and justice, they also incur the risk of shoring up the work society rather than challenging it. To transform the work society, he shows that we must also reconfigure the place of paid work in our lives and rethink the meaning of community at a deeper level. Throughout, he speaks to a broad readership, and his focus on freedom and social justice will interest scholars and activists alike. Chamberlain offers a range of strategies that will allow us to uncouple our deepest human values from the notion that worth is generated only through labor.
Undoing the Demos: Neoliberalism’s Stealth Revolution (Near Future Series)
by Wendy BrownNeoliberal rationality — ubiquitous today in statecraft and the workplace, in jurisprudence, education, and culture — remakes everything and everyone in the image of homo oeconomicus. What happens when this rationality transposes the constituent elements of democracy into an economic register? In vivid detail, Wendy Brown explains how democracy itself is imperiled.The demos disintegrates into bits of human capital; concerns with justice cede to the mandates of growth rates, credit ratings, and investment climates; liberty submits to the imperative of human capital appreciation; equality dissolves into market competition; and popular sovereignty grows incoherent. Liberal democratic practices may not survive these transformations. Radical democratic dreams may not either.In an original and compelling theoretical argument, Brown explains how and why neoliberal reason undoes the political form and political imaginary it falsely promises to secure and reinvigorate. Through meticulous analyses of neoliberalized law, political practices, governance, and education, she charts the new common sense.Undoing the Demos makes clear that, far from being the lodestar of the twenty-first century, a future for democracy depends upon it becoming an object of struggle and rethinking.
