      Bankruptcy, bubbles and bailouts

      The inside history of the Treasury since 1976

      by Aeron Davis

      Despite its integral role in the ups and downs of Britain's economy, the Treasury has escaped critical public and academic scrutiny. The financial and economic crises of the last four decades have all been blamed on others. From greedy unions and financiers to inept regulators and politicians, the scapegoats for the bubbles, crashes, depressions, the banking crisis, productivity gap and decline of industry have been identified and vilified by the media. The Treasury is presented as the saviour that cleans up the mess of others. It is a bedrock of government stability, a beacon of rational cosmopolitanism, a bulwark against the madness of Brexit. This book argues that the reverse is true. While many others have contributed, it is the Treasury more than any other institution, public or private, which is responsible for socio-economic disparities in the UK, as well as the Brexit paralysis. In the words of civil servants, former Chancellors, and Treasury officials, this book offers the definitive but unofficial inside story on this elite institution.

      Bankruptcy, bubbles and bailouts

      The inside history of the Treasury since 1976

      by Aeron Davis

      The Treasury is one of Britain's oldest, most powerful and most secretive institutions. It has played a central role in shaping the country's economic system, yet all too often it has escaped public scrutiny. The Treasury is often present as a bedrock in times of crisis, rescuing the nation's finances from posturing politicians and the combustions of world financial markets. However, there is another side to the story. Between the highs there have been many lows, from botched privatisations to dubious private finance initiatives, from failing to spot the great financial crisis to facilitating ever-growing inequalities. Going behind the scenes, this book offers an inside history of the Treasury, in the words of chancellors, advisors and civil servants themselves. It shows the shortcomings as well as the successes, the personalities and the ideas that have shaped Britain's economy since the mid-1970s. Based on interviews with over fifty key figures, it offers a fascinating, alternative insight on how and why the UK economy came to function as it does today, and why reform is long overdue.

      Foundations of social ecological economics

      The fight for revolutionary change in economic thought

      by Clive L Spash

      This book explores radical dissent from orthodox mainstream economics, and sets out a theoretically grounded vision for the emerging paradigm of social ecological economics. At the heart of this paradigmatic shift lies an acknowledgement of the inextricable embeddedness of economies in biophysical reality and social structure. The struggle for this transformative vision unfolds through a critical examination of mainstream environmental thought, followed by a nuanced evaluation of contributions from Marxists, socialists, critical institutionalists, feminists and Post-Keynesians grappling with the urgent environmental crisis. Synthesising insights from these diverse and heterodox schools, the book navigates the philosophical underpinnings of science, embracing a critical realist approach that challenges not only mainstream economic thought but also eclectic pluralism, relativism and strong constructionism. The question of what constitutes revolutionary science is explored in light of works by Kuhn, Schumpeter and Neurath, emphasising the pivotal role of values and ideology in works from Marx to Gramsci. Building on these radical and philosophical foundations, the book articulates a preanalytic vision of social ecological economics, dismantling entrenched notions of growth and efficiency in favour of a framework centered on social provisioning and needs embedded in ethics. In a thought-provoking conclusion, the book applies its analytical lens to the multiple crises of modernity within industrialised capital-accumulating economies. An agenda for social ecological transformation toward diverse alternative economies emerges, providing a compelling call to action in the face of contemporary challenges.

      Lexicon of Islamic Heritage of Economic Thought

      by Group of authors

      Muslim scientists have a significant contribution to the development of great economic sciences, which contributed to achieving economic renaissance throughout the Islamic civilization history. In the context of seeking to regenerate Islamic heritage, emphasizing Muslims role and their contributions to economic thinking contrary to western and Arab allegations with western ideology, which denied the existence of economic thinking before the methodically birth of modern economic science. This study aims to provide a scientific database for researchers in Islamic heritage and economic thinking, contribute to research development and economic analysis, study writers’ surrounding environment and its impact on their economic thoughts. It also seeks to draw attention to the importance of lexical authoring and its role in the development of scientific research. The idea of the project is based on shedding light on Muslims’ heritage in Economics from the end of the second century - as an onset of economic thought features in Islamic literature and records - until the fall of the Islamic Caliphate, realizing intellectual development in Economics among muslims as much as possible, and grasping how it could be made use of and benefited from in formulating and developing a modern economic theory. That is through presenting the key economic ideas included in the books: Money, Kharaj, Waqfs and Sharia Politics and other works concerned with economic subjects, financial transactions and the like and its economic analysis in Islamic fiqh.

      The Big Reset Revised Edition

      War on Gold and the Financial Endgame

      by Willem Middelkoop

      Amid the turmoil in the Eurozone, economic problems in Russia, stagnation in Japan, and rumblings that China may slip into recession, the one reliable asset is the American dollar. While it may encounter ups and downs, investors for decades have been confident that it will never lose a substantial part of its value. That may be about to change. In The Big Reset, Willem Middelkoop lays out the case for an inevitable monetary reset, one that will be designed to keep the United States in the driver's seat, but will include strong roles for the Euro and China's Renminbi-and, crucially, gold. This fully revised edition of Middelkoop's book takes into account developments since its original publication, which have only strengthened the case for the coming return of gold.

      The Age of Unproductive Capital

      New Architectures of Power

      by Author(s): Ladislau Dowbor

      This book offers a very direct and readable analysis of the main challenges facing our societies today, such as reducing inequality, protecting the planet, and in particular mobilizing our financial resources which linger in tax havens and feed speculation, instead of funding the sustainable development we need. It precisely considers the most important factors, including corporate governance, financialization, capturing political power, and the limits to adequate national economic policies in a world dominated by global finance. The book’s presentation of how sensible and productive policies are dismantled will be highly interesting for the international community, whether in the academic, corporate or government spheres.
