Exploring the evolution of global capitalism, this book presents a unique narrative through the perspectives of its critics. It spans from colonialism and the Industrial Revolution to contemporary challenges like ecological crises and artificial intelligence. By featuring both well-known figures such as Marx and lesser-known critics like William Thompson and Flora Tristan, the narrative offers a rich tapestry of economic thought. Blending biography and history, it sheds light on the roots of today's pressing economic debates and movements.

Veteran New Yorker staff writer John Cassidy offers a provocative take on the misguided economic thinking that produced the 2008 financial crisis—now with a new preface addressing how its lessons remain unheeded in the present, as we're facing the worst economic catastrophe since the Great Depression. A Pulitzer Prize Finalist An Economist Book of the Year A Businessweek Best Book of the Year For fifty years, economists have been developing elegant theories or how markets facilitate innovation, create wealth, and allocate society's resources efficiently. But what about when they fail, when they lead us to stock market bubbles, glaring inequality, polluted rivers, and credit crunches? In this updated and expanded edition of How Markets Fail, John Cassidy describes the rising influence of "utopian economies"—the thinking that is blind to how real people act and that denies the many ways an unregulated free market can bring on disaster. Combining on-the-ground reporting and clear explanations of economic theories Cassidy warns that in today's economic crisis, following old orthodoxies isn't just misguided—it's downright dangerous.

Spielerisch und voller Witz führt es dem verkannten Künstler - ob klein, ob groß - den Pinsel, animiert zu lockeren Strichen und Schmierern und lässt Kunstwerke aus Farbklecksen entstehen. Es arbeitet mit Farbspritzern und Wischtechnik, erklärt, wie Farbverläufe entstehen, wie man Farben mischt und wie man sie kombiniert. Es taucht in Landschaften, zaubert bunte, seltsame Tierchen hervor, beschäftigt sich mit Licht und Schatten, Anatomie und Körperteilen, Perspektive und Fluchtpunkt, wagt sich an Landschaften und Stillleben und ermuntert schließlich dazu, eine kleine Geschichte in Bildern zu erzählen. Es gibt hier keinen Fehler - außer dem, zu selbstkritisch zu sein. Und wenn man die vielen, auf spezielles Papier gedruckten Seiten schließlich bunt bespritzt, bekleckst und bemalt hat, wird klar: In jedem steckt ein Künstler, man muss ihn nur entdecken!

The relationship between eternity and time is a common subject for theologians and philosophers. What difference does it make for this discussion that God became man and inhabited time in Jesus Christ? In God's Time for Us, James J. Cassidy examines the theology of Karl Barth to show that God is our Father who does not neglect us for lack of time; he is the God who has time to be with us. God also quite literally has time in his own being by virtue of the incarnation. Cassidy shows that Barth seeks a rapprochement between eternity and time, which is overcome by Jesus Christ. There is today a resurgence in interest in the theology of Barth, especially among evangelicals. Yet Barth is often read without discernment and discussed in churches without full understanding. Cassidy illuminates his thought so evangelicals can make a better, more well-informed appraisal of the man and his theology. Provided by publisher

Půl století rozvíjejí ekonomové po celém světě elegantní teorie o tom, jak trhy usnadňují inovace, jak vytvářejí bohatství a jak efektivně alokují zdroje, které má společnost k dispozici. Co se ale stane, když trhy selhávají? Když nás zavádějí až k bublinám na trhu s cennými papíry, ke křiklavým nerovnostem, ke znečištěným řekám nebo k úvěrovým krizím? V knize Jak selhávají trhy (How Markets Fail) americký publicista John Cassidy popisuje stoupající vliv "utopické ekonomie" - myšlení, které je slepé k tomu, jak jednají skuteční lidé, a které popírá existenci spousty způsobů, jimiž může neregulovaný volný trh vyvolat katastrofu. Cassidy kombinuje reportážní postupy založené na faktech a srozumitelné vysvětlování ekonomických teorií, aby upozornil na to, že za současné ekonomické krize je úporné setrvávání na starých ortodoxních "pravdách" nejen pošetilé -, ale vysloveně nebezpečné.

How did we get to where we are? This title shows that the roots of our financial failure lie not with individuals, but with an idea - the idea that markets are inherently rational.
