The Far-Right in World Politics
This book addresses the reasons why the contemporary far-right has gained political resonance in a variety of states across both the Global North and South. The rise of far-right forms of politics in recent years throughout a range of geopolitical locales suggests the emergence of a distinct conjuncture in world politics, indicating a common set of enabling conditions and characteristics. It is this unprecedented context in the history of the post-war liberal international order that this edited volume aims to address. In doing so, it brings together a diverse range of scholars, many of whom have developed an internationally recognized expertise in the study of the far-right and Internationa...
Rethinking Corruption
Corruption is perversely useful. It helps both those in government, and those opposing it. Consequently, eliminating it is difficult.
Productivism
What is Productivism It is the notion that "more production is necessarily good" and that the objective of human organization is to achieve measurable levels of growth and productivity.

Neoclassical Economics
What is Neoclassical Economics In the field of economics, neoclassical economics refers to an approach that observes the production, consumption, and valuation (price) of commodities and services as being driven by the supply and demand model. According to this school of thinking, the value of a product or service is established by a hypothetical process that involves the maximization of utility by individuals with limited incomes and of profits by businesses that are confronted with production costs and make use of the information and factors of production that are accessible. By making reference to rational choice theory, this strategy has frequently been defended as being appropriate. How...
Well Spent
Drawing on the Fund’s analytical and capacity development work, including Public Investment Management Assessments (PIMAs) carried out in more than 60 countries, the new book Well Spent: How Strong Infrastructure Governance Can End Waste in Public Investment will address how countries can attain quality infrastructure outcomes through better infrastructure governance—an issue becoming increasingly important in the context of the Great Lockdown and its economic consequences. It covers critical issues such as infrastructure investment and Sustainable Development Goals, controlling corruption, managing fiscal risks, integrating planning and budgeting, and identifying best practices in project appraisal and selection. It also covers emerging areas in infrastructure governance, such as maintaining and managing public infrastructure assets and building resilience against climate change.

A subfield of econophysics, thermoeconomics can be regarded of as the statistical physics of economic value. It is also another name for thermoeconomics.

Cambridge Capital Controversy
What is Cambridge Capital Controversy In economics, the Cambridge capital controversy, sometimes known as "the capital controversy" or "the two Cambridges debate," was a dispute that began in the 1950s and continued far into the 1960s. It was a disagreement between proponents of two different theoretical and mathematical perspectives in economics. The nature and function of capital goods, as well as a critique of the neoclassical perspective on aggregate output and distribution, were the topics of discussion during the debate. A significant portion of the debate took place between economists such as Joan Robinson and Piero Sraffa at the University of Cambridge in England and economists such ...
Political Economy
What is Political Economy An area of study within the fields of political science and economics, political economy is concerned with the examination of economic systems and the political institutions that govern them. Systems such as labor markets and financial markets, as well as phenomena such as growth, distribution, inequality, and trade, and the ways in which these are affected by institutions, laws, and government policy, are among the phenomena that are extensively examined within the subject. With its roots dating back to the 16th century, it is considered to be the forerunner of the contemporary field of economics. A field that draws on theory from both political science and modern ...
Innovation and Economic Development
This book is the fruit of the research ECLAC has amassed, with ten chapters detailing the great strides that have been made of late in ICT. A distinguishing feature of this book is its multi-disciplinary approach to measuring the economic effects of these technologies, which incorporates the neo-classical growth accounting approach and the evolutionarystructuralistapproach. These approaches are noteworthy because, much like the primary message of ECLAC, they exemplify the pivotal importance of technical progress, productivity and structural transformation in economic growth. Innovation and Economic Development identifies several opportunities and challenges for bringing about a more dynamic role of ICT in the process of structural change and productivity growth and contends that accelerating the adoption and efficient use of ICT is essential to any strategy for further success.
Evolutionary Economics
What is Evolutionary Economics There is a school of thinking in economics known as evolutionary economics, which is influenced by the field of evolutionary biology. It regards economic growth as a process rather than an equilibrium and places an emphasis on change, innovation, complex interdependencies, self-evolving systems, and limited rationality as the drivers of economic evolution. Despite the fact that it is not defined by a clear set of principles and that it brings together a variety of methods, it treats economic development as a process. The support for the evolutionary approach to economics in recent decades appears to have initially originated as a criticism of the mainstream neo...
