Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging: Socioeconomic Status

From one of the most important economic thinkers of our time, a brilliant and far-seeing analysis of the current populist backlash against globalization. In The Third Pillar he offers up a magnificent big-picture framework for understanding how these three forces--the state, markets, and our communities--interact, why things begin to break down, and how we can find our way back to a more secure and stable plane.

A unique analysis of the moral and social dimensions of microeconomic behaviour in developing countries, this book calls into question standard notions of rationality and many of the assumptions of neo-classical economics, and shows how these are inappropriate in communities with widespread disparity in incomes.

From Nobel Prize-winning economist Jean Tirole, a bold new agenda for the role of economics in society. Economics for the Common Good is a passionate manifesto for a world in which economics, far from being a "dismal science," is a positive force for the common good. Economists are rewarded for writing technical papers in scholarly journals, not joining in public debates. But Tirole says we urgently need economists to engage with the many challenges facing society, helping to identify our key objectives and the tools needed to meet them.

An accessible, story-driven look at the future of the global economy, written by a leading expert To predict our future, we must look to the extremes so argues the economist Richard Davies, who takes readers to the margins of the modern economy and beyond in his globe-trotting book. In adapting to circumstances that would be unimaginable to most of us, the people he encounters along the way have helped to pioneer the economic infrastructure of the future. At once personal and keenly analytical, Extreme Economies is an epic travelogue for the age of global turbulence, shedding light on today's most pressing economic questions.
