Cambridge University Press Mighty Microeconomics
Book SynopsisBased on a best-selling Japanese text that sold more than 65,000 copies, the book is written in a chatty, colloquial style without compromising the rigor of explaining microeconomic theories. Interspersed with illuminating real-life examples, the book encourages readers to think like an economist with insights on social justice and philosophy.Trade Review'Mighty Microeconomics combines precise arguments, compelling applications, and deep reflection on the problems of the modern age. It takes students on an unforgettable intellectual journey to make them better citizens who can understand and participate in the choices we must make to create a better world.' Paul Milgrom, Leonard and Shirley Ely Professor of Economics, Stanford University'This is one of the best introductions to modern microeconomics. By going through page by page with pen and paper at hand, readers will begin to understand how the activities of selfish and near-sighted people will be spontaneously organized into the social division of labor - a wonder of the 'invisible hand.' Nobuhiro Kiyotaki, Harold H Helm '20 Professor of Economics and Banking, Princeton University'This book provides a self-contained journey from the very basics of economic thinking to the standard graduate-course fare, remaining mathematically rigorous but readily accessible throughout. Those who have never studied economics, those whose life's work is economic research, and everyone in between will find this book valuable.' Larry Samuelson, A. Douglas Melamed Professor of Economics, Yale University'This book gives a great overview of the core ideas in microeconomics. It is ideal as supplementary reading for an undergraduate class, or for self-study by anyone who is interested in seeing what formal microeconomics theory is about.' Drew Fudenberg, Paul A Samuelson Professor of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'Written in a lucid style, Mighty Microeconomics guides complete beginners to an advanced level, advanced enough to be a prudent and well-reserved theorist, through clear, precise, and thoughtful yet plain expositions.'

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Handbook of U.S. Labor Law for the TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisOver the last fifty years in the United States, unions have been in deep decline, while income and wealth inequality have grown. In this timely work, editors Richard Bales and Charlotte Garden - with a roster of thirty-five leading labor scholars - analyze these trends and show how they are linked. Designed to appeal to those being introduced to the field as well as experts seeking new insights, this book demonstrates how federal labor law is failing today''s workers and disempowering unions; how union jobs pay better than nonunion jobs and help to increase the wages of even nonunion workers; and how, when union jobs vanish, the wage premium also vanishes. At the same time, the book offers a range of solutions, from the radical, such as a complete overhaul of federal labor law, to the incremental, including reforms that could be undertaken by federal agencies on their own.Trade Review'Charlotte Garden and Rick Bales have brought together an impressive group of experts to provide a comprehensive look at how our labor laws could and should be strengthened to give workers more collective bargaining power. This book is a valuable contribution to the public debate around a critically important issue at a critically important time.' Lynn Rhineheart, Economic Policy Institute, and former general counsel, AFL-CIO'At a time of increasing income inequality and declining union power, this much-needed volume provides many smart and provocative ideas on how to overhaul our nation's labor laws in order to strengthen unions, increase worker power, and, most important, lift America's more than 150 million workers. In this book, a who's who of labor experts provide one thoughtful essay after another on many of the key issues that unions and workers face today.' Steven Greenhouse, long-time labor journalist and author of Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor'In a year of teacher strikes for the public good, private-sector flight attendants standing strong on behalf of locked-out federal workers, and New York state farmworkers just winning a century-long struggle for collective bargaining rights, this book is exceptionally timely and relevant. Richard Bates and Charlotte Garden have chosen an outstanding group of scholars who are refreshingly forward-looking while still being grounded in the daily reality faced by workers and unions.' Kate Bronfenbrenner, Cornell University'The Cambridge Handbook of US Labor Law for the Twenty-First Century is an important resource. It provides a range of opinion and is rich in thought-provoking ideas. It should soon be on the bookshelves of practitioners, scholars, policy makers, and activists - indeed, anyone interested in labor law and policy, worker rights and activism, unions and employers, collective bargaining, economic fairness, and democracy.' Wilma B. Liebman, former chairman, National Labor Relations Board, and professor, author, and advisor on labor law and workplace policy'The Cambridge Handbook of U.S. Labor Law for the Twenty-First Century represents a highly valuable tool for both the scholars and the practicing lawyers to address practical issues and de lege ferenda policies surveying a wide range of topics in a synthetic and clear way, whose analysis is frequently neglected or underestimated by most.' Prof. Dr Andrea Borroni, Contemporary Labour Law Review'The Handbook of US Labor Law for the Twenty-First Century performs several valuable roles: it is a primer on the current state of the organized labor movement and on the economic, political, social, and cultural consequences of its weakness … In assembling such a large and diverse group of contributors, the Handbook can realistically claim to represent the best of what is on offer in addressing all of these crucial topics for discussion and action.'

HarperCollins Fixer
Book SynopsisA New York Times Editors’ Choice book from the author of the award-winning Tap Out - “a gritty, insightful debut” (Washington Post) - Edgar Kunz’s second poetry collection propels the reader across the shifting terrain of late-capitalist America. Temp jobs, conspiracy theories, squatters, talk therapy, urban gardening, the robot revolution: this collection fixes its eye on the strangeness of labor, through poems that are searching, keen, and wry. The virtuosic central sequence explores the untimely death of the poet’s estranged father, a handyman and addict, and the brothers left to sort through the detritus of a life long lost to them. Through lyrical, darkly humorous vignettes, Kunz asks what it costs to build a home and a love that not only lasts but sustains.
