Mensen gebruiken wereldwijd meer dan 160 verschillende munteenheden, elk met hun eigen monopolie binnen de landsgrenzen.

In Geldnood kijken we naar de geschiedenis van geld door de bris van technologische vooruitgang. Politiek speelt lokaal en tijdelijk een rol, maar uiteindelijk is het technologie die structurele, wereldwijde veranderingen aanjaagt.

Is humanity ready to give up knowledge to machines?

In clear and accessible prose, Dalton and Logan illustrate the nature and varieties of creative destruction, how it is central to innovation and entrepreneurship, and why it is important for economic growth.

Вот и наше общество – такой же социальный организм, где все роли взаимосвязаны и все винтики образуют открытую систему, которую называют экономикой! Экономика – это способ жизни общества. Неудивительно в таком случае и следующее равенство: здоровая экономика = здоровое общество.

For the past several decades, politicians and economists thought that high levels of inequality were good for the economy. But because America’s middle class is now so weak, the US economy suffers from the kinds of problems that plague less-developed countries. As Hollowed Out explains, to have strong, sustainable growth, the economy needs to work for everyone and expand from the middle out.
