Cambridge University Press Macroeconomics for Business
Book SynopsisInterpreting and applying macroeconomic analysis to the global economic environment and understanding the tools used to do so is fundamental to making good managerial decisions. Presuming no background in economic theory and prioritizing international application, this textbook introduces macroeconomics to business students. It explains how to understand domestic and global macroeconomic developments, policies, and data, and makes extensive use of case studies and data sets to present modern macroeconomics in a globalized world. Each chapter has several specific data exercises and practices as well as an international application focusing on the global perspective. By providing a host of international material, this book is useful for instructors and students around the globe.Trade Review'This textbook is an invaluable resource for business students and practitioners interested in various macroeconomic topics and the most pressing issues of macro policy. Davidson, Hauskrecht, and von Hagen rigorously introduce the foundations of modern macroeconomic theory with clarity and grace. The depth and breadth of the macroeconomic analyses make this book a necessary reference for students and business executives.' Sunny Wong, University of Houston'Davidson, Hauskrecht, and von Hagen provide a modern and thorough approach to macroeconomics, loaded with go-to time-series indispensable for managers, policy-makers, and researchers alike. They also develop a simple and elegant common model that carries across chapters, ideal for Business-oriented Master's programs. With emphasis on an ever more global business arena, Macroeconomics for Business is a unique blend of currency in the field and theoretical parsimony for a data-driven world.'

Cambridge University Press The Economics of Platforms
Book SynopsisDigital platforms controlled by Alibaba, Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook,Netflix, Tencent and Uber have transformed not only the ways we do business, but also the very nature of people''s everyday lives. It is of vital importance that we understand the economic principles governing how these platforms operate. This book explains the driving forces behind any platform business with a focus on network effects. The authors use short case studies and real-world applications to explain key concepts such as how platforms manage network effects and which price and non-price strategies they choose. This self-contained text is the first to offer a systematic and formalized account of what platforms are and how they operate, concisely incorporating path-breaking insights in economics over the last twenty years.Trade Review'This is a promising textbook for anyone eager to understand platforms as a business model and an economic concept. The book's systematic review of platform theories — in a wonderful mix of digestible algebra, intuitive explanation, and real world cases — is very much needed, especially when the public discussion about platforms is riddled with anecdotes and speculations. I cannot wait for the second book in this series, which will focus more on the concurrent policy debates about platforms. Both books have the potential to become a 'go-to' reference for platform economics, and to hopefully foster a deeper, healthier, and more comprehensive discussion about platform-related policies.' Ginger Zhe Jin, University of Maryland'This is the book many have been waiting for. A book that takes two decades of new research into platform economics and synthesizes them for students and researchers. It will itself be the platform for others to build upon.' Joshua Gans, University of Toronto'It's hard to imagine our lives without platforms. We use them in virtually all areas of our daily lives, both privately and professionally: for our social contacts and to inform ourselves, to buy books, clothes and tools, to listen to music and watch movies, to sell old furniture, rent rides, housing opportunities and much more. The influence of the large platforms in particular has become so dominant that they are increasingly coming under the scrutiny of competition authorities, with major competition proceedings looming on the horizon. Belleflamme and Peitz's book could not have been published at a better time. Suitable for more and less technically interested readers alike, the book offers a helpful introduction to the not always easy subject matter. I expect it to become an invaluable companion for students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the years to come.' Monika Schnitzer, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich'Questions about digital platforms are paramount in today's economy. Belleflamme and Peitz have written a book for people who want to understand many of the drivers of success that have been hypothesized by economists. This is a very useful book to read for people who are interested in policy or firm strategy. It is particularly valuable because unlike many textbooks it focuses on the cutting edge of economics research.' Catherine Tucker, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'Paul Belleflamme and Martin Peitz put their many years of research and policy work into this comprehensive book that covers the key economic and policy aspects of platforms, which have been playing an increasingly important role in our lives. The authors successfully walk the tightrope between rigor and accessibility for a broader audience, making it an ideal book for those seeking an introduction to platform economics. Key aspects of network effects, direct and indirect externalities, pricing, and platform design strategies are covered in depth, balancing theoretical concepts with empirical facts and case studies. The Economics of Platforms: Concepts and Strategy will surely provide an excellent resource and reference for policy makers, business practitioners, researchers, and students of both undergraduate and graduate level programs.' Steve Tadelis, University of California, Berkeley'A comprehensive and rigorous exposition of the economic analysis of platforms. The book covers in an accessible way a wide range of topics such as design, information management, pricing, or start-up. The presentation is clear, including material at the forefront of the economic literature. Written by two leading scholars in the domain, the book caters to a wide range of readers, from students and professors to businessmen and policy makers, with minimum economic background. A must-read for anyone interested in the economics of platforms.' Bruno Jullien, Toulouse School of Economics'Numerous books have been written about platforms but none of them cover the economics behind platforms in any depth. This path-breaking book fills the gap, covering the key concepts and applications of platform strategy in an accessible but thorough way. As well as being a must-read for practitioners and academic scholars who want to understand platform strategy, it is an ideal textbook for business school or economics courses on the digital economy or platforms. Extensive real world cases from around the world bring to life the economic analysis and numerical examples.' Julian Wright, National University of SingaporeTable of ContentsPrologue; 1. Platforms: Definitions and Typology; 2. Ratings, Recommendations and the Use of Big Data; 3. An Economic Primer on Network Goods; 4. Growing a Platform; 5. Platform Pricing; 6.

Book SynopsisDrawing on a trove of personal accounts and cutting-edge research, a “timely and extremely important” book (The Washington Post) from the acclaimed, award-winning author of Thank You, Mr. Nixon that shows how our worldviews are shaped—and what that might mean for the shared future of the United States and China. As East and West become more and more entwined, we also continue to baffle one another. What’s more important—self-sacrifice or self-definition? Do we ultimately answer to something larger than ourselves—a family, a religion, a troop? Or is our mantra “To thine own self be true”? Gish Jen shows how our worldviews are shaped by what cultural psychologists call independent and interdependent models of selfhood. Coloring what we perceive, remember, do, make, and tell, imbuing everything from our ideas about copying to our conceptions of human rights, these models help explain why the

Rowman & Littlefield Extreme Wine
Book SynopsisIn Extreme Wine, wine economist and best-selling author Mike Veseth circles the globe searching for the best, worst, cheapest, most expensive, and most over-priced wines. Mike seeks out the most outrageous wine people and places and probes the biggest wine booms and busts. Along the way he applauds celebrity wines, tries to find wine at the movies, and discovers wines that are so scarce that they are almost invisible. Why go to such extremes? Because, Mike argues, the world of wine is growing and changing, and if you want to find out what's really happening you can't be afraid to step over the edge. Written with verve and appreciation for all things wine, Extreme Wine will surprise and delight readers.Trade ReviewOf all the wine blogs in the wide, wide blogosphere, one that I look forward to reading the most is Mike Veseth’s Wine Economist. There’s nothing else quite like it—a blend of economic insight . . . and often irreverent winespeak. -- Lettie Teague * The Wall Street Journal *Wine expert and editor of the popular Wine Economist blog, Veseth (Wine Wars) returns with an entertaining and informative survey of the wine landscape, past and present. Here, “extreme” is used to define many aspects of wine culture, ranging from the extreme temperatures necessary for preparing a proper icewine, to the low pricing of Two Buck Chuck and Thunderbird, to the wildly expensive pastime known as “wine tourism.” Veseth acts as an enthusiastic host who is more than willing to share his insights. For example, he explains how to quickly judge the quality of a wine by tilting the glass to a 45 degree angle (the more intense the color of the wine near the edge of the glass, the better it is) and why one should never order Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio at a restaurant (it is popular and routinely overpriced as a result). He even includes a chapter on celebrity wines—apparently former NBA player Yao Ming’s wine is worth checking out—and a fun wine-related filmography, with countless sources for additional information in every section. This entertaining read will surely resonate among fellow oenophiles and novice wine-oes alike. * Publishers Weekly *No wine-making or wine-selling professional can afford to ignore Veseth’s blog, which illuminates wine’s often murky economics. Here he expounds on wine’s outliers, revealing those wines that have unusual histories, are particularly expensive or cheap, or are made under the most difficult conditions. Taking what could be an esoteric subject and making it compelling for any wine drinker, Veseth probes the best and worst that the world’s vineyards produce. He chronicles booms and busts, relating how Prohibition actually became a boon for vineyards as home winemakers of the era snapped up grapes by the case for cross-country shipment. Explaining the impact of international currency markets, he documents how Australia’s strong dollar has dampened exports. Veseth also details why the cheapest wines aren’t necessarily the worst nor the most expensive the best. Surprisingly, celebrities’ involvement in winemaking has produced some bottlings that transcend the media status of the vineyards’ owners. Not just for geeky wine snobs. * Booklist *Veseth (Wine Wars), who blogs at the Wine Economist, takes readers on a whirlwind tour of the world’s wines in the titular superlatives. Readers may be familiar with French wines, but get ready to explore Canada’s Icewine (made from grapes frozen to 17 degrees Fahrenheit). These highly concentrated wines (popular in Asia) sell for prices ranging from $50 to $500. Veseth discusses how Prohibition (1920–33) impacted the wine industry (most wineries went out of business) as well as loopholes in the Volstead Act that allowed four million gallons of wine to be legally produced in 1925. The most expensive wine should be no surprise to readers: Bordeaux 2009. What’s the worst wine? Veseth writes, “That’s easy: look down!” Wines can be judged by their prices, with the cheaper wines located at the bottom of the wine shelves. Veseth asserts that celebrity wines such as those made by Yao Ming, Martha Stewart, and Paul Newman don’t necessarily harm the “real wine” industry and, in fact, encourage wine drinkers to try new varieties. VERDICT History buffs and adventurous wine drinkers are sure to find interesting tidbits about the industry and encounter new wines to hunt down. Highly recommended. * Library Journal *Extreme Wine shows just how fascinating and dynamic the wide world of wine really is, with new appellations, wineries, and winemaking techniques constantly emerging. So, if you are an explorer, the horizon is continually shifting, limitless. * Gayot’s Blog *This book is not for the snifferati and spitterati. It is an incredible and balanced study of the extremities of the wine world and wines of the world. Veseth even found our 600 bottles of extreme wine made in South Africa. -- Emil Den Dulk, owner, De Toren Private Cellar, South AfricaExtreme Wine is a must-read for wine lovers and people in the wine industry. It helps me to look at the industry from various unique angles. I found myself jotting down idea after idea while reading the book—of which many are now part of my plan for promoting Grace Vineyard in China. Highly recommended! -- Judy Leissner, CEO, Grace Vineyard, ChinaCongratulations to Mike Veseth for his outstanding book on the global wine world. It takes a very creative mind and a keen eye to see the center from the ‘extreme’ edges without distorting reality. It is a book that grabs you from the very beginning and once you start reading, you can hardly leave it before reaching its end. -- Aldo Biondolillo, Tempus Alba, ArgentinaA provocative, engaging, and seriously entertaining journey covering all the vineyards under the sun. Mike Veseth provides a delightful sensory experience that will greatly increase the reader's enjoyment of wine. -- Cobus Joubert, Maison Joubert, South AfricaExtreme Wine is as broad as it is fascinating, with Mike Veseth’s always perceptive insights into what makes the world of wine tick. His book is a must read for all of us who eat, sleep, and breathe the rich and wonderful life of wine, and it opens its hidden extremes to the novice who might otherwise wonder why we find it so immensely rewarding. -- Bartholomew Broadbent, CEO, Broadbent Selections, United StatesThanks to Mike Veseth, readers will discover and understand the philosophy that leads each producer to create his or her own wines. All our family is very proud to be considered ‘extreme wine’ people! -- Giuseppe and Rafaella Bologna, owners, Braida Winery (maker of Bricco dell’Uccellone), Italy[Veseth] writes about wine business issues with a down to earth populist ease. His enthusiastic, chatty style resembles a conversation over a glass of Merlot in a wine bar. He makes his subject highly accessible and clearly loves this world. . . . [His] ‘popular wine economics’ approach fill[s] a real gap in a readable and informative way. . . . [A] good introduction for students and those not experienced in wine business issues. There are useful insights for us old shire horses of the trade too. . . . For encouraging us to stop looking at our shoe laces and focus on the big picture he deserves many readers. * Harpers Wine & Spirit *Table of ContentsChapter 1: X-Wines: In Vino Veritas?

Michigan State University Press Imagining China: Rhetorics of Nationalism in an
Book SynopsisStanding as the world's two largest economies, marshaling the most imposing armies on earth, holding enormous stockpiles of nuclear weapons, consuming a majority share of the planet's natural resources, and serving as the media generators and health care providers for billions of consumers around the globe, the United States and China are positioned to influence notions of democracy, nationalism, citizenship, human rights, environmental priorities, and public health for the foreseeable future. These broad issues are addressed as questions about communication-about how our two nations envision each other and how our interlinked imaginaries create both opportunities and obstacles for greater understanding and strengthened relations. Accordingly, this book provides in-depth communication-based analyses of how U.S. and Chinese officials, scholars, and activists configure each other, portray the relations between the two nations, and depict their shared and competing interests. As a first step toward building a new understanding between one another, Imagining China tackles the complicated question of how Americans, Chinese, and their respective allies imagine themselves enmeshed in nations, old rivalries, and emerging partnerships, while simultaneously meditating on the powers and limits of nationalism in our age of globalization.Trade ReviewThis volume is a fresh and fascinating rhetorical exploration of the stories humans have invented to imagine China in the age of globalization. It is indispensable reading not only for intercultural communication scholars, government officials, educators, students, and political scientists but also for anyone keenly interested in the unforgettable power of words to move our thoughts and actions." - Carolyn Calloway-Thomas, Chair, Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, Indiana University, and author of Empathy in the Global World: An Intercultural Perspective

Kumarian Press The Post-Corporate World: Life After Capitalism
Book SynopsisThis work investigates the growing gap between the promises of new global capitalism and the reality of insecurity, inequality, social breakdown, spiritual emptiness and environmental destruction. It looks at what went wrong and offers solutions based on examples from new biology. The author examines ways in which economic values and institutions are shaped by certain beliefs about the nature and meaning of life. Modern societies have been shaped more than is realized, by beliefs embedded in the story told by Newtonian physics of a clockwork universe in which life is an accident and consciousness an illusion. This theory has led to the creation of competitive, individualistic, and materialistic societies grounded in a Hobbsian philosophy that there is no moral purpose to life and therefore good is merely that which brings pleasure and evil that which brings pain. This text outlines specific measures to free the creative powers of individuals and societies through the realization of a radical democracy, the local rooting of capital through stakeholder ownership, and a restructuring of the rules of commerce to create "mindful market" economies that combine market principles with a culture that nurtures social bonding and responsibility.Trade Review“If you secretly wonder why the hyped promise of capitalism doesn’t match the all too common and difficult struggle to make ends meet you will be fascinated by this account of where our economy went wrong and how we can change. Korten makes the economic principles that got us where we are today plain, simple , and accessible.” —Vicki Robin, coauthor of Your Money or Your Life “Korten argues convincingly that Adam Smith would be appalled by much that Wall Street has done in recent decades, and he raises a host of provocative quesions about the emerging global economic order. Not everyone will agree with Korten’s answers, but everyone will be enriched by considering his questions.” —Denis Hayes, Chair and CEO, Earth Day 2000 “The Post Corporate World does for our view of corporatism what Betty Friedan did for our view of women and Rachel Carson did for our view of the environment. . . . Passionately and gracefully written. . . it will twist your mind about the world and how you are living in it.” —Peter Block, author of Stewardship and The Empowered Manager “A refreshing signpost for the future.” —Professor Klaus Schwab, President, World Economic Forum, Geneva “If you want to understand what is really happening in the world, read David Korten. The Post-Corporate World points to what must come next if human beings ard other creatures are to have a livable future.” —John B. Cobb, Jr., Professor Emeritus of Religion, Claremont Graduate School, and coauthor of For the Common Good “An earthshaking book—a product of brilliant thinking from one of history’s most groundreaking intellecutals and activists.” —Lynne Twist, Co-chair, State of the World Forum Table of ContentsPrologue: A story for the Third Millennium. Part 1 - A deadly tale: the siren's song; the naked emperor; the Midas curse. Part 2 - An epic story: life's incredible journey; making choices; learning to live. Part 3 - To free life's creative power: radical democracy; rooted capital; mindful markets. Part 4 - Setting a new course: telling a new story; reclaiming our cultures; creating right livelihoods. Epilogue: Step to maturity.
