Taxes in America offers a clear, concise explanation of how our tax system works, how it affects people and businesses, and how it might be improved, in an accessible and occasionally humorous manner.

Above all, Levinson shows that we must understand the economic disaster of the 1970s if we want to overcome the problems we face today: the sluggish growth and political polarisation that define our time had their origins in the crisis of the post-war economy.

On 26 January, 2009, during the depths of the financial crisis and having just completed five years as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the author was sworn in by President Barack Obama as the seventy-fifth Secretary of the Treasury of the US.

This revised edition of the first complete translation of the seminal work 'Die Philosophie des Geldes' by Georg Simmel includes a new preface by David Frisby.

A History of Money looks at how money as we know it developed through time. Starting with the barter system, the basic function of exchanging goods evolved into a monetary system based on coins made up of precious metals and, from the 1500s onwards, financial systems were established through which money became intertwined with commerce and trade, to settle by the mid-1800s into a stable system based upon Gold. This book presents its closing argument that, since the collapse of the Gold Standard, the global monetary system has undergone constant crisis and evolution continuing into the present day.

In The Conscience of a Liberal Paul Krugman, one of the US s most respected economists and outspoken commentators, lays out his vision of a New Deal for a fairer society. After the Second World War it seemed that, in the West, society was gradually becoming more equal. Welfare States had been established in many countries, there was a general reduction in income inequality and in America Franklin D. Roosevelt s New Deal seemed to ensure strong democratic values and broadly shared prosperity. So what went wrong? Why, in the past thirty years, has the gap between the poor and the super-rich become such a gulf? Why are we so disillusioned with the political system? And what can be done about this huge economic inequality and bitter polarization? Krugman argues that the time is ripe for another era of great reform. Here he outlines a programme for change, explaining what can be done to narrow the wealth gap. And he shows how a new political coalition can both support and be supported by reform, making our society not just more equal but more democratic. The Conscience of a Liberal promises to reshape public debate and become a touchstone work.

A Nobel Prize-winning economist tells the remarkable story of how the world has grown healthier, wealthier, but also more unequal over the past two and half centuriesThe world is a better place than it used to be. People are healthier, wealthier, and live longer. Yet the escapes from destitution by so many has left gaping inequalities between people and nations. In The Great Escape, Nobel Prize-winning economist Angus Deaton-one of the foremost experts on economic development and on poverty-tells the remarkable story of how, beginning 250 years ago, some parts of the world experienced sustained progress, opening up gaps and setting the stage for today's disproportionately unequal world. Deaton takes an in-depth look at the historical and ongoing patterns behind the health and wealth of nations, and addresses what needs to be done to help those left behind.Deaton describes vast innovations and wrenching setbacks: the successes of antibiotics, pest control, vaccinations, and clean water on the one hand, and disastrous famines and the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the other. He examines the United States, a nation that has prospered but is today experiencing slower growth and increasing inequality. He also considers how economic growth in India and China has improved the lives of more than a billion people. Deaton argues that international aid has been ineffective and even harmful. He suggests alternative efforts-including reforming incentives to drug companies and lifting trade restrictions-that will allow the developing world to bring about its own Great Escape.Demonstrating how changes in health and living standards have transformed our lives, The Great Escape is a powerful guide to addressing the well-being of all nations.

The most damning criticism of markets is that they are morally corrupting. Even Adam Smith, who famously celebrated markets, believed that there were moral costs associated with life in market societies.

A Nobel prize winner challenges us to throw off the free market fundamentalists and reclaim our economy.

The primary architects of the response to the 2008 financial crisis offer a magnificent big-picture synthesis - from why it happened to where we are now.

"As the 2008 financial crisis ravaged economies, central banks turned to quantitative easing to prevent a return to the 1930s. There wasn't a repeat of the Great Depression, but there certainly wasn't a recovery. Instead, there was a decade of stagnation. It's clear: QE failed. In this book, Frances Coppola makes the case for a different type of QE"--

I denne let formidlede, præcise og humoristiske bog svarer den verdensberømte økonom Yanis Varoufakis på sin datter, Xenias, tilsyneladende enkle spørgsmål om, hvad økonomi egentlig er for noget. Gennem både personlige historier og referencer til berømte myter – lige fra Frankenstein og Faust til ‘The Matrix’ – forklarer han, hvordan økonomi som begreb voksede frem og har formet både menneskehedens historie og former vores liv i dag. Det er fortællingen om, hvordan byttehandler med frugt og hvede blev til penge og senere til markeder og stater med hære til at beskytte dem og bureaukratier til at styre dem. Men det er også fortællingen om, hvordan uligheden i verden blev til. I vores samfund er økonomi blevet det politiske modersmål, og økonomer betragtes som vismænd, men samtidig tror mange af os, at det handler om så komplekse ideer, at vi ikke kan være med. Her insisterer Yanis Varoufakis på, at hvis de grundlæggende økonomiske ideer ikke kan formidles uden fremmedord til et ungt menneske, så bliver de så abstrakte, at de ikke handler om den verden, vi deler. På én gang varm, intim og tilgængelig inviterer ‘Samtaler med min datter om økonomi’ os alle sammen – unge som gamle – ind i samtalen, så vi kan være med til at vælge, hvilken verden, vi vil have.

Pengesystemet i Danmarks præges af, at private banker udvider pengemængden med nye kontopenge, når de yder lån. Som nationalbankdirektør Hugo Frey Nielsen udtrykker det: ”Bankerne skaber indlån og dermed penge i forbindelse med, at de låner penge ud”. Dette system er essentielt ustabilt. I gode tider kaster banker nyskabte penge ind på bl.a. boligmarkedet og puster boligpriserne i vejret. Finansbobler dannes og springer, recession og arbejdsløshed følger, og økonomisk ulighed øges.   Et andet system er muligt. Bankerne bør fratages retten til at skabe kontopenge. Nationalbankens ret til at skabe rigets penge kan opdateres, så også kontopenge skabes til glæde for fællesskabet. Ulighed vil mindskes, stabilitet øges. Foreningen Gode Penge fremlægger her sit reformforslag. Pengeskabelsen nationaliseres, men bankerne forbliver private. De skal gøre dét, de fleste mennesker tror, de gør i dag: Låne allerede eksisterende penge ud, ikke skabe nye.

How philosophical differences between Eurozone nations led to the Euro crisis-and where to go from hereWhy is Europe's great monetary endeavor, the Euro, in trouble? A string of economic difficulties in Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy, and other Eurozone nations has left observers wondering whether the currency union can survive. In this book, Markus Brunnermeier, Harold James, and Jean-Pierre Landau argue that the core problem with the Euro lies in the philosophical differences between the founding countries of the Eurozone, particularly Germany and France. But the authors also show how these seemingly incompatible differences can be reconciled to ensure Europe's survival.As the authors demonstrate, Germany, a federal state with strong regional governments, saw the Maastricht Treaty, the framework for the Euro, as a set of rules. France, on the other hand, with a more centralized system of government, saw the framework as flexible, to be overseen by governments. The authors discuss how the troubles faced by the Euro have led its member states to focus on national, as opposed to collective, responses, a reaction explained by the resurgence of the battle of economic ideas: rules vs. discretion, liability vs. solidarity, solvency vs. liquidity, austerity vs. stimulus.Weaving together economic analysis and historical reflection, The Euro and the Battle of Ideas provides a forensic investigation and a road map for Europe's future.

A dollar is a dollar-or so most of us believe. Indeed, it is part of the ideology of our time that money is a single, impersonal instrument that impoverishes social life by reducing relations to cold, hard cash. After all, it's just money. Or is it? Distinguished social scientist and prize-winning author Viviana Zelizer argues against this conventional wisdom. She shows how people have invented their own forms of currency, earmarking money in ways that baffle market theorists, incorporating funds into webs of friendship and family relations, and otherwise varying the process by which spending and saving takes place. Zelizer concentrates on domestic transactions, bestowals of gifts and charitable donations in order to show how individuals, families, governments, and businesses have all prescribed social meaning to money in ways previously unimagined.

What happens in the City has never affected us moreIn this excellent guide, now fully revised and updated, leading financial journalist Philip Coggan cuts through the headlines, the scandals and the jargon to explain the nuts and bolts of the financial system.What causes the pound to rise or interest rates to fall? Which are the institutions that really matter? Why is it we need the Money Machine - and what happens when it crashes? Coggan provides clear and concise answers and shows why we should all be more familiar with a system we so intimately depend upon.

Why the gold standard is due for a comeback A reserve currency can only function as such if there is a general consensus that it provides a stable store of value. Without this trust, money, no matter what form it takes, will be abandoned-either suddenly in a crisis, or gradually over time-in favor of something else.
