Story
What explains the growing class divide between the well-educated and everybody else? Noted author Brink Lindsey, a senior scholar at the Kauffman Foundation, argues that it's because economic expansion is creating an increasingly complex world in which only a minority with the right knowledge and skills - the right "human capital" - reap the majority of the economic rewards. The complexity of today's economy is not only making these lucky elites richer - it is also making them smarter.

Story
Instead of going where other journalists have gone in search of this story - the board rooms and trading floors of the big Wall Street firms - Scheer goes back to Washington, D.C., a veritable crime scene, beginning in the 1980s, where the captains of the finance industry, their lobbyists and allies among leading politicians destroyed an American regulatory system that had been functioning effectively since the era of the New Deal.

Story
In this incisive new book, Michael Mandelbaum argues that the era marked by an expansive American foreign policy is coming to an end. During the seven decades from the U.S. entry into World War II in 1941 to the present, economic constraints rarely limited what the United States did in the world. Now that will change. The country's soaring deficits, fueled by the huge costs of the financial crash and of its entitlement programs - Social Security and Medicare - will compel a more modest American international presence.

What is the GDP, and what does it mean? Why does the stock market go down when interest rates go up? What causes a dreaded recession? Economics impacts everyone's life, but most people take on faith what they read in the newspaper. Now, for anyone who doesn't know much about economics, noted economist Todd Buchholz explains it all simply and clearly. With refreshing wit and irreverence, Buchholz takes listeners by the hand and reveals the basic rules behind everything from food prices to trade deficits.

We have released the genie from the bottle: climate change is coming, and there's no stopping it.

In Climatopolis, Kahn, one of the worlds foremost experts on the economics of the environment, argues that cities and regions will adapt to rising temperatures over time, slowly transforming our everyday lives.

C'è una linea immaginaria eppure realissima, una ferita non chiusa, un luogo di tutti e di nessuno di cui ognuno, invisibilmente, è parte: è la frontiera che separa e insieme unisce il Nord del mondo, democratico, liberale e civilizzato, e il Sud, povero, morso dalla guerra, arretrato e antidemocratico. È sul margine di questa frontiera che si gioca il grande gioco del mondo contemporaneo.

In Italia - che pure non è tra i Paesi con più elevata disuguaglianza - i dieci individui più ricchi posseggono più risorse economiche dei circa tre milioni di individui più poveri. Molte sono le questioni di natura economica e politica che tale divario solleva. Quanta parte della ricchezza di un individuo deriva dal suo impegno e quanta invece è frutto del caso? Quanto contano eredità e origini sociali? È giusto che lo Stato si preoccupi di redistribuire la ricchezza o non dovrebbe piuttosto assicurare a ciascuno le stesse opportunità?

È giusto cancellare il debito dei paesi più poveri? In che misura può contribuire a combatterne la povertà? Come agisce in questo campo la comunità internazionale? Personalità di governo e celebrità del mondo dello spettacolo, gruppi religiosi e Ong hanno attirato negli ultimi anni l'attenzione dell'opinione pubblica mondiale su questo tema. E si è andata affermando la convinzione che il debito del Terzo mondo sia la più tipica espressione del dominio del ricco sul povero e che sia quindi moralmente giusto abolirlo.

Ne sono prova gli interventi messi in atto dal Fondo monetario in molti paesi per fronteggiare la crisi dei mutui subprime, e il sostegno fornito alla Grecia, che nel maggio 2010 ha rischiato una bancarotta dello stato.

Con un bilancio di 280 miliardi di dollari e più di 10.000 dipendenti, la Banca mondiale è l'istituzione leader nella lotta alla povertà, eppure molti la accusano di aggravare il divario tra paesi ricchi e paesi poveri. Poche istituzioni scontano una percezione pubblica così distante dalla loro "missione". A cosa si deve questo scarto? Alla mancanza di informazione sul suo operato? All'inadeguatezza della Banca di fronte a un contesto mondiale in rapida evoluzione? O al prevalere, nella sua agenda, di interessi diversi da quelli dei paesi più poveri?
