The aim of this Element is to understand how far mathematical theories based on active particle methods have been applied to describe the dynamics of complex systems in economics, and to look forward to further research perspectives in the interaction between mathematics and economics. The mathematical theory of active particles and the theory of behavioural swarms are selected for the above interaction. The mathematical approach considered in this work takes into account the complexity of living systems, which is a key feature of behavioural economics. The modelling and simulation of the dynamics of prices within a heterogeneous population is reviewed to show how mathematical tools can be used in real applications.

Economics and fiction often pursue parallel objectives. Economists analyse human decisions and interactions in markets and other institutions. Fiction writers also provide keen insights into individual minds and motives, examining how their characters respond to conflict and tensions in varied situations. This book explores the insights to be gained from developing this parallel.In each chapter, economists discuss classic or contemporary literary creations exploring economic incentives that motivate the characters, the economic mechanisms that tie them together, and/or the economic context in which they live and develop. Exploring the synergy across economics and literature offers new understandings of themes including capitalism and colonialism, marriage and markets, gender norms, inheritance and estates, and the political economy of poverty. The broad and deep range of literary works includes writers from Shakespeare and Goethe, through Chekov and Steinbeck, to recent Nobelists Abdulrazak Gurnah and Han Kang. By offering new understandings of both economics and literature, readers will gain deeper insights into people's thought processes, choices, and consequences.This book will captivate readers in economics, social sciences and the humanities and open their minds to the viewing of economic ideas and concepts through the prism of great works of literature.

Reconceiving Identities in Political Economy comprises one volume in an unprecedented three-volume set, collectively subtitled Decolonial Reconstellations. Together with Volume One (Dynamics of Deep Time and Deep Place) and Volume Two (Dissolving Master Narratives), it gathers thinkers from across world regions and disciplines who reconfigure critical global thought. Collaboratively conceived, the volumes are founded on the observation that we cannot fully uproot the epistemological-material violence of coercive systems, nor fully (re)imagine more ethical visions of planetary community, without shared attention to the deeper histories of place and peoples that shape the present. Accordingly, the volumes gather social scientists and humanists, Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, and intersectional and materialist thinkers who reconceptualize longue-duree history and its afterlives. They engage in the dual project to dismantle eurocentric, colonial, androcentric frameworks and to make visible the legacies of care and creative world-making that have sustained human communities. Uncovering pasts that are as complex and dynamic as the present, the contributors brilliantly transform notions of temporality, polity, conjuncture, resistance, and experimentation within histories of struggle and alliance. They richly decolonize political imaginaries. The co-editors' introductions articulate fresh frameworks of "deep place" and "deep time" freed from eurocentric modernity paradigms, indicating pathways toward decolonial collaboration and institutional change.Decolonial Reconstellations offers invaluable resources for researchers and teachers in decolonial, postcolonial, anti-colonial, and Indigenous studies, and will also strongly appeal to feminist, anti-racist, Marxist, and critical theory scholars across disciplines.

A new paradigm for developing a sustainable solution for the economy and the food chain A Taste for Change argues that civil society must take the initiative to create a new paradigm of existence that centers on the common good, ecological transition, and active involvement in the development of a sustainable solution for the economy and the food chain. Giraud and Petrini engage with the revolutionary concepts captured in Pope Francis's recent encyclicals centering on the Earth-based spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi. This deep exploration of surrounding food systems, indigenous wisdom, economic structures, and politics is based on the premise that the ecological transition urgently needs to be accelerated to avoid the most dramatic consequences of the climate crisis. Academics, students, and activists from a wide array of disciplines will find A Taste for Change a dialogue worthy of careful consideration and an inspiring call to action.

Why are contracts incomplete? Transaction costs and bounded rationality cannot be a total explanation since states of the world are often describable, foreseeable, and yet are not mentioned in a contract. Asymmetric information theories also have limitations. We offer an explanation based on 'contracts as reference points'. Including a contingency of the form, 'The buyer will require a good in event E', has a benefit and a cost. The benefit is that if E occurs there is less to argue about; the cost is that the additional reference point provided by the outcome in E can hinder (re)negotiation in states outside E. We show that if parties agree about a reasonable division of surplus, an incomplete contract is strictly superior to a contingent contract. If parties have different views about the division of surplus, an incomplete contract can be superior if including a contingency would lead to divergent reference points.

Care is the foundation of organic life. But its fate in the economy is precarious and uncertain. The labour of care is arduous and underpaid. Yet without it health and vitality are impossible. Care itself ends up leading a curious dual life. In our hearts it's honoured as an irreducible good. But in the market it's treated as a second class citizen - barely recognised in the relentless rush for productivity and wealth.How did we arrive in this dysfunctional place? And what can we do to change things? What would it mean to take health seriously as a societal goal? What would it take to adopt care as an organising principle in the economy? Renowned ecological economist Tim Jackson sets out to tackle these questions in this timely and deeply personal book. His journey travels through the history of medicine, the economics of capitalism and the philosophical underpinnings of health. He unpacks the gender politics of care, revisits the birthplace of a universal dream and confronts the demons that prevent us from realising it. Irreverent, insightful and profoundly inquisitive, The Care Economy offers a bold and accessible manifesto for a healthier and more humane society.

A wide variety of new forms of money have been developed in recent decades as a challenge or complement to the official, dominant currencies. LETS, Local Currencies, Carbon Currencies and Bitcoins are all examples of this new trend. These currencies are at the heart of a larger movement that questions the present state of money and argues that new currencies might help to build resilient economies and "warmer" social relations.This book focuses on radical alternative proposals as well as on small-scale experiments, and makes use of the analytical tools of philosophy and of economics, with one main question in mind: Can alternative currencies constitute desirable alternatives to the present monetary system? Overall, the book will raise serious doubts regarding the capacity of such currencies to deliver on their promises. In part, it will show that several arguments in favour of alternative currencies are lacking in consistency and clarity, and are thus in need of thorough revision. More fundamentally, it will argue that these currencies either fail to fulfil their objectives or that their fulfilment would entail significant conflicts with justice and economic efficiency.This book is addressed to researchers in economics, politics, and philosophy of money, especially those working on alternative monetary systems.

Vergesellschaftung, Sozialisierung, Gemeineigentum: Muten derlei Ideen angesichts globaler oekonomischer Entwicklungen ? Privatisierung, Vermoegenskonzentration, kapitalistische Landnahme ? nicht antiquiert an? Wenn auch nicht allenthalben auf den Schild gehoben, so bleibt der Begriff der Vergesellschaftung hartnaeckig in der Diskussion ? als Gegenentwurf zu herrschenden Eigentumsverhaeltnissen, in Kampagnen wie ?Deutsche Wohnen & Co. enteignen? oder als Antwort auf die Klimafrage. Juergen Leibiger fragt nach Geschichte und Wesen eines zentralen Begriffs der politischen Oekonomie: Laesst sich dieser schon mit Art. 15 GG, dem ?Vergesellschaftungsartikel?, umreissen? Kam, was in den Laendern des Sozialismus umgesetzt wurde, der Sache bereits nahe? Was koennen eine Commons-Theorie oder Genossenschaftsmodelle zu alternativen Eigentumsformen beitragen? Der Band geht Marx’schen Auffassungen wie auch der Schule der Wirtschaftsdemokratie, des Anarchismus oder des Raetekommunismus nach. Bei allen Differenzen duerfte ein gemeinsamer Nenner, so Leibiger, in der Schaffung einer ≫Assoziation≪ liegen, ≫worin die freie Entwicklung eines jeden die Bedingung fuer die freie Entwicklung aller ist≪ (Marx/Engels).

This book examines the relationship between neoliberalism and insecurity beginning with the post-World War II period and continuing up through the present. Neoliberalism - the dominant political economic perspective which elevates competition above all else at both the structural and individual levels - has increased the amount of insecurity (e.g., food, energy, job) across the world. It provides a theoretical and empirical analysis of how and why neoliberalism and insecurity have become intertwined over the last half century.The book takes a novel approach to the study of neoliberalism, insecurity, and their intersection. First, in addition to examining specific types of insecurity, the overall concept of insecurity is defined and theorized as a fundamental part of neoliberal capitalism. Second, to help bypass the structural vs. individual binary that has come to characterize much of the neoliberalism literature, a field-theoretic framework heavily influenced by the work of Pierre Bourdieu, is employed.As such, it will be of great interest for researchers in neoliberalism, insecurity, and Bourdieu's theory of practice - including advanced undergraduate students and graduate scholars from sociology, anthropology, geography, political science, and public health.

Buchanan believed that individuals are fundamentally willing to cooperate with others. It was at the center of his works in public finance in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and also crucial to his work in public choice in the 1960s. The purpose of this book is to show which forms this belief took over these two decades or so, and to explain the continuity between these forms. We adopt a historical approach that allows us to recount the story of how Buchanan came to develop a theory of collective action, including his conception of cooperation in small groups, to implement a technical condition about the pricing of public goods he defended early in his career. We describe the different steps Buchanan took, the encounters that influenced him, and the events and challenges that led him to revise his views to make room for this fundamental philosophical conviction.

Functional Economy is a concept that is often associated with ecological transition and sustainable development. It prioritizes the use of a service or good rather than its sale, and tends to encourage cooperation. This model supports the transition to a more ecological and equitable economic and social environment. This book presents the different approaches to the Functional Economy and the ways in which the various players (companies, public institutions and citizens) are adopting and adapting them through innovation. Depending on their degree of sustainability and their scope, these innovations can have major economic, social and environmental impacts. Particularly at the local territorial level, those involved in innovation need to be supported as closely as possible if they are to overcome the hurdles they face and reap the rewards of the transformations brought about by this socio economic model, which is built around functionality.

Discourses around research excellence and quality are predominant within the economic sciences, with various forms of ranking playing a central role. They make "excellence" in research and teaching visible, but they also create hierarchical orders between researchers, institutions, publication outlets and countries.The authors of this volume analyse the role of rankings in shaping and transforming economics from different theoretical, methodological, and disciplinary perspectives. The various contributions explore the specific situation in different countries as well as global developments within economics and beyond. In addition, the book contributes to an overall debate about the role and function of rankings in academia. The analysis focuses on four aspects: rankings and social hierarchies, rankings and paradigmatic hegemonies, rankings and regulations/policies, as well as rankings and critique/alternatives.The book addresses scholars in economic sociology, economics, higher education and science studies.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

Assuming only a previous course in basic microeconomics, Economics of Crime and Enforcement is an innovative book which is strongly linked to the new theoretical and empirical journal literature.Showing the power of microeconomics in action, Yezer covers a wide array of topics, including: benefit-cost and the imprisonment decision, enforcement games, juvenile crime, private enforcement, economics of three-strikes law, broken windows strategies, police profiling, crime in developing countries, as well as guns, drugs, and capital punishment. This second edition has been fully updated to reflect the latest developments in the field and features new chapters on behavioral economics and crime and crime and large cities. Problem questions provided at the end of each chapter allow students to reinforce their microeconomics skills and to gain insight into the way they can be applied to case and application examples.Teaching resources, including PowerPoint slides and answers to problem questions, provide further support for instructors delivering courses on the economics of crime in a variety of settings.
