Small is beautiful : economics as if people mattered
\"Small is Beautiful is Oxford-trained economist E.F. Schumacher's classic call for the end of excessive consumption. Schumacher inspired such movements as \"Buy Locally\" and \"Fair Trade\", while voicing strong opposition to \"casino capitalism\" and wasteful corporate behemoths. ... [It] presents eminently logical arguments for building our economies around the needs of communities, not corporations.\"-- Back cover.

Geoökonomische Verwerfungen und das deutsche Wirtschaftsmodell: Krise und Möglichkeiten zur Neuorientierung
Über viele Jahrzehnte galt der hohe Exportüberschuss der deutschen Wirtschaft großen Teilen der Bevölkerung als ein besonderes Qualitätsmerkmal. Auch wenn dieser Exportüberschuss den Regierungen von Deutschlands Handelspartnern oft ein Dorn im Auge war, ließ man sich von solchen Beschwerden nicht beirren. Deutschland wurde sogar als „Exportweltmeister“ (Hesse 2024) bezeichnet, ein Titel, der immerhin weniger fragil ist als jener eines Fußballweltmeisters. In der Tat ist die Exportorientierung der deutschen Wirtschaft deutlich höher als jene aller anderen großen Industrieländer. Andreas Nölke diskutiert die Möglichkeiten des deutschen Wirtschaftsmodells zur Neuorientierungen im Angesicht geoökonomischer Verwerfungen. Schlagwörter: Wirtschaft, Handel, Export, Geopolitik

Finance and philosophy : why we're always surprised
Taking the 2008 financial crisis as his jumping off point, Alex Pollock deftly illustrates how private firms and governments alike have failed to understand the shifting risks that financial systems create. With candor, clarity, and wit, he uncovers the persistent uncertainties inherent in banking, central banking, and economics. -- Provided by publisher.

High and rising economic costs of biological invasions worldwide
Biological invasions are responsible for substantial biodiversity declines as well as high economic losses to society and monetary expenditures associated with the management of these invasions1,2. The InvaCost database has enabled the generation of a reliable, comprehensive, standardized and easily updatable synthesis of the monetary costs of biological invasions worldwide3. Here we found that the total reported costs of invasions reached a minimum of US$1.288 trillion (2017 US dollars) over the past few decades (1970–2017), with an annual mean cost of US$26.8 billion. Moreover, we estimate that the annual mean cost could reach US$162.7 billion in 2017. These costs remain strongly underestimated and do not show any sign of slowing down, exhibiting a consistent threefold increase per decade. We show that the documented costs are widely distributed and have strong gaps at regional and taxonomic scales, with damage costs being an order of magnitude higher than management expenditures. Research approaches that document the costs of biological invasions need to be further improved. Nonetheless, our findings call for the implementation of consistent management actions and international policy agreements that aim to reduce the burden of invasive alien species

The handbook of evolutionary economic geography
\"This wide-ranging Handbook is the first major compilation of the theoretical and empirical research that is forging the new and exciting paradigm of evolutionary economic geography. The book's distinguished contributors set out the theoretical, methodological and empirical foundations of an evolutionary perspective on the economic landscape. In so doing, they explore the interplay between organizational dynamics, industrial dynamics and space; analyse the nature and spatial evolution of networks; address the evolution of institutions in territorial contexts; and explore the evolution of agglomerations and clusters. This original reference work will undoubtedly play an important and formative role in influencing the future research agenda of evolutionary economic geography. It will strongly appeal to scholars, researchers and students in economic geography, regional economics, evolutionary economics, industrial economics, management and organizational studies, and related fields.\"--Publisher's information.

Hidden Potential
Informality remains widespread in South Asia despite decades of economic growth. The low earnings and high vulnerability in the informal sector make this a major development issue for the region. Yet, there is no consensus on its causes and consequences, with the debate polarized between a view that informality is a problem of regulatory evasion and should be eradicated, and another that equates informality with economic exclusion. Recent advances in analyzing informality as the outcome of firm dynamics in distorted economic environments can help reconcile them. Building on these advances, the approach adopted in this volume clarifies that there are different types of informality, with different drivers and consequences. The report has four main messages that underscore the need for a multipronged strategy. First, informality in South Asia is dominated by firms that happen to be outside the purview of regulations because they are small, as opposed to those that remain small to escape regulations. Second, reforms of business regulations tend to have small direct effects on the informal sector, although they could have sizable indirect impacts on it if they succeed in removing major inefficiencies in the broader economy. Third, e-commerce platforms offer new opportunities to informal firms and workers, but many of them lack complementary skills or credit to benefit from such technologies. Fourth, a combination of contributory and non-contributory programs recognizing the heterogenous saving capacities of informal workers may be necessary to achieve more universal coverage of social insurance

Analysis of the InvaCost database shows that the costs of biological invasions have markedly increased between 1970 and 2017 and show no sign of slowing down, highlighting the importance of evidence-based and cost-effective management actions.
