greed is dead paul collier john kay

Two of the UK''s leading economists call for an end to extreme individualism as the engine of prosperity ''provocative but thought-provoking and nuanced'' TelegraphThroughout history, successful societies have created institutions which channel both competition and co-operation to achieve complex goals of general benefit. These institutions make the difference between societies that thrive and those paralyzed by discord, the difference between prosperous and poor economies. Such societies are pluralist but their pluralism is disciplined.Successful societies are also rare and fragile. We could not have built modernity without the exceptional competitive and co-operative instincts of humans, but in recent decades the balance between these instincts has become dangerously skewed: mutuality has been undermined by an extreme individualism which has weakened co-operation and polarized our politics.Collier and Kay show how a reaffirmation of the values of mutuality could refresh and restore politics, business and the environments in which people live. Politics could reverse the moves to extremism and tribalism; businesses could replace the greed that has degraded corporate culture; the communities and decaying places that are home to many could overcome despondency and again be prosperous and purposeful. As the world emerges from an unprecedented crisis we have the chance to examine society ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The world-renowned economist offers a ground-breaking new vision for inclusive prosperity Left behind places can be found in prosperous countries—from South Yorkshire, integral to the industrial revolution and now England’s poorest county, to Barranquilla, once Colombia’s portal to the Caribbean and now struggling. More alarmingly, the poorest countries in the world are diverging further from the rest of humanity than they were at the start of this century. Why have these places fallen behind? And what can we do about it? World-renowned development economist Paul Collier has spent his life working in neglected communities. In this book he offers his candid diagnosis of why some regions and countries are failing, and a new vision for how they can catch up. Collier lays the blame for widening inequality on stale economic orthodoxies that prioritize market forces to revive left behind regions, and on the arrogant, hands-off and one-size fits all approach of centralized bureaucracies like the UK Treasury.

Migrace je jednou z nejnaléhavějších a nejkontroverznějších otázek naší doby - vehementně diskutovaná, prodchnutá ideologií, hluboce rozdělující. Komu by mělo být dovoleno migrovat a komu ne? Jaké jsou argumenty pro a proti omezování počtu imigrantů? Paul Collier, renomovaný ekonom a autor bestseleru Miliarda nejchudších, v této knize jasně a výstižně vykládá, jaké dopady má migrace na společnost, a k čemu by vedla neomezená migrace. Na základě vlastního výzkumu i výsledků výzkumů dalších odborníků autor vysvětluje problém migrace ze tří perspektiv - z perspektivy migrantů samotných, dále těch, kteří zůstávají ve své vlasti a nakonec z perspektivy obyvatel zemí, které migranty přijímají. Imigrace je jednoduchou ekonomickou rovnicí, ale její dopady jsou složité. Exodus potvrzuje, jak zásadní bude migrační politika ve světě, a zároveň navrhuje řešení, která by pomohla zrychlující se migraci zvládnout. Kniha nabízí provokativní a velmi výstižnou analýzu problému, který se dotýká nás všech.

: Hluboké rozpory trhají křehké předivo společnosti západního světa: prosperující města stojí proti odstrčenému venkovu, špičkově vzdělaná elita proti lidem, pro něž je kvalitní vzdělání finančně nedostupné, bohaté země proti chudým. Jak se tyto propasti rozšiřují, ztrácí se i náš smysl pro morální závazky vůči druhým lidem, na němž byl založen poválečný vzestup sociální demokracie. Kdekdo umí na současné společenské disproporce poukazovat, od populistů po intelektuály, ale zatím nikdo nepřišel s realistickým nápadem, jak situaci řešit. Oceňovaný sociolog zde načrtává vlastní uskutečnitelné vize a podrobně předvádí, jak lze kapitalismus zachránit před ním samým - a nás před myšlenkovými stereotypy 20. století. "Skvěle napsaná a důležitá kniha. Přečtěte si ji." Martin Wolf, Financial Times "Je to nejrevolučnější kniha v oblasti společenských věd od dob Keynese. Doufejme, že bude i stejně vlivná." George Akerlof "Mistrovsky vyvážená kombinace osobní zkušenosti a nejpronikavějších analýz z různých oborů společenských věd. Ekonom Paul Collier se věnuje současnému rozdrolení ‚opěrných sloupů sounáležitosti‘ (rodiny, zaměstnání, národa) a frustraci, která otevřela dveře populismu všeho druhu. Vyzývá k prakticky založené politice, která by dokázala kočírovat kapitalismus (který nefunguje v zájmu většiny), přebudovala ‚obléhaný střed‘ politického spektra a obnovila cit pro ‚etiku komunity‘ současného společenského života."

Europe is facing its greatest refugee crisis since the Second World War, yet the institutions responding to it remain virtually unchanged from those created in the post-war era. Going beyond the scenes of desperation which have become all-too-familiar in the past few years, Alexander Betts and Paul Collier show that this crisis offers an opportunity for reform if international policy-makers focus on delivering humane, effective and sustainable outcomes - both for Europe and for countries that border conflict zones. Refugees need more than simply food, tents and blankets, and research demonstrates that they can offer tangible economic benefits to their adopted countries if given the right to work and education. Refuge sets out an alternative vision that can empower refugees to help themselves, contribute to their host societies, and even rebuild their countries of origin.

The world is in a mess. For more than a billion people, everyday life is played out against the backdrop of civil wars, military coups and failing economies.

Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize 2016We all depend on the finance sector. We need it to store our money, manage our payments, finance housing stock, restore infrastructure, fund retirement and support new business. But these roles comprise only a tiny sliver of the sector''s activity: the vast majority of lending is within the finance sector. So what is it all for? What is the purpose of this activity? And why is it so profitable?John Kay, a distinguished economist with wide experience of the financial sector, argues that the industry''s perceived profitability is partly illusory, and partly an appropriation of wealth created elsewhere - of other people''s money. The financial sector, he shows, has grown too large, detached itself from ordinary business and everyday life, and has become an industry that mostly trades with itself, talks to itself, and judges itself by reference to standards which it has itself generated. And the outside world has itself adopted those standards, bailing out financial institutions that have failed all of us through greed and mismanagement. We need finance, but today we have far too much of a good thing. In Other People''s Money John Kay shows in his inimitable style what has gone ... Unknown localization key: "more"

If you want to go in one direction, the best route may involve going in another. This is the concept of ''obliquity'': paradoxical as it sounds, many goals are more likely to be achieved when pursued indirectly. The richest men and women are not the most materialistic; the happiest people are not necessarily those who focus on happiness, and the most profitable companies are not always the most profit-oriented as the recent financial crisis showed us.Whether overcoming geographical obstacles, winning decisive battles or meeting sales targets, history shows that oblique approaches are the most successful, especially in difficult terrain. John Kay applies his provocative, universal theory to everything from international business to town planning and from football to managing forest fire.

This book provides a guide to the complexities of modern finance. It describes the basics of investment and the sophisticated innovations of the modern financial system. It explains how the follies of finance have threatened the stability of the world economy, and describes an environment that is complex and sophisticated, but greedy, cynical and self-interested. This book explains how to put your finances in the only hands you can confidently trust - your own. Readers will learn everything they need to be their own investment manager. They will recognise their investment options, the institutions that try to sell them, and how to distinguish between fact and fiction in what companies say. They will discover the principles of sound investment and the research that supports these principles. Crucially, they will learn a practical investment strategy and how to implement it. Leading economist and hugely successful investor John Kay uses his academic credentials and practical experience to lay out the key principles of investment with characteristic clarity and dry humour. This is the only book about finance and investment anyone needs, and the one book they must have.

The period from 1939 to 1945 saw some of the most devastating and remarkable events in living memory. Laboring beneath a daily burden of fear, sacrifice, deprivation and uncertainty, soldiers and civilians of all nationalities were driven to extremes of selfless loyalty, dogged determination or bitter cruelty by the demands of a world at war. This book tells the stories of the men and women who lived and died during the Second World War, from politicians to factory workers, and from High Command to the conscripted men on the front lines. The experience of war is brought to life through a wealth of contemporary documentation, private writings and historical research, whilst the political, military, and historical significance of the war is assessed and examined. From Europe''s Western and Eastern Fronts to the war at sea, and from the Pacific to the Mediterranean and North Africa, every fighting front of the Second World War is covered in this truly comprehensive volume.

Algorithms for Automating Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) presents information on the gathering of information and extraction of actionable intelligence from openly available sources, including news broadcasts, public repositories, and more recently, social media. As OSINT has applications in crime fighting, state-based intelligence, and social research, this book provides recent advances in text mining, web crawling, and other algorithms that have led to advances in methods that can largely automate this process. The book is beneficial to both practitioners and academic researchers, with discussions of the latest advances in applications, a coherent set of methods and processes for automating OSINT, and interdisciplinary perspectives on the key problems identified within each discipline. Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples, editors Robert Layton, Paul Watters, and a distinguished list of contributors discuss Evidence Accumulation Strategies for OSINT, Named Entity Resolution in Social Media, Analyzing Social Media Campaigns for Group Size Estimation, Surveys and qualitative techniques in OSINT, and Geospatial reasoning of open data.

In this radical and visionary new book, McKenzie Wark argues that the all-pervasive presence of data in our networked society has given rise to a new mode of production, one not ruled over by capitalists and their factories but by those who own and control the flow of information. Yet, if this is not capitalism anymore, could it be something worse? What if the world we’re living in is more dystopian than the techno utopias of the Silicon Valley imagination? And, if this is the case, how do we find a way out? Capital Is Dead offers not only the theoretical tools to analyse this new world of information, but the ones to change it, too.Drawing on the writings of the Situationists and a range of contemporary theorists, Wark offers a vast panorama of the contemporary condition and the classes that control it.

ELIOT PRIZELONGLISTED FOR THE CHRISTOPHER EWART-BIGGS MEMORIAL PRIZEI guess I must have been in two mindsabout the new dayas the daylight godsbegan to march in straight linesgoing I don't know where. from 'The Spare Room'In his first collection for more than a decade, Tom Paulin revisits themes of place, occupation, conflict and legacy, primarily in the context of his native Northern Ireland. Stories and memories, even histories, are shown to be both frail and persistent, troubling and vital. There is a powerful austerity in play as he sets aside the rhetorical force and linguistic dazzle for which he is renowned, to speak simply of later life and the losses it brings: 'if only some idea / could find its way / through enemy territory / then I'd at last begin / to look up at the sky.' As outward-looking as ever, he also includes here intimate and resonant versions from Brecht and Ronsard, and from the contemporary Palestinian poet, Walid Khazendar.
