Con un bilancio di 280 miliardi di dollari e più di 10.000 dipendenti, la Banca mondiale è l'istituzione leader nella lotta alla povertà, eppure molti la accusano di aggravare il divario tra paesi ricchi e paesi poveri. Poche istituzioni scontano una percezione pubblica così distante dalla loro "missione". A cosa si deve questo scarto? Alla mancanza di informazione sul suo operato? All'inadeguatezza della Banca di fronte a un contesto mondiale in rapida evoluzione? O al prevalere, nella sua agenda, di interessi diversi da quelli dei paesi più poveri?

The World Trade Organization (WTO) began in 1995, but even in the first 10 years of its existence it generated debate, controversy, and even outrage. Rulings on beef hormones and tuna-dolphin cases provide graphic examples of how the organization regulates and intrudes into areas of individual consumer choice, ethical preferences, and cultural habits. This deep and far-ranging impact of the WTO on peoples' everyday lives means that it is not just an institution of interest to economists, but to everyone.

There have been numerous books examining the 2008 financial crisis from either a US or European perspective. Tamim Bayoumi is the first to explain how the Euro crisis and US housing crash were, in fact, parasitically intertwined. Starting in the 1980s, Bayoumi outlines the cumulative policy errors that undermined the stability of both the European and US financial sectors, highlighting the catalytic role played by European mega banks that exploited lax regulation to expand into the US market and financed unsustainable bubbles on both continents.

A century ago, migrants often crossed an ocean and never saw their homelands again. Today, they call - or Skype - home the moment their flight has landed, and that's just the beginning. Thanks to cheap travel and easy communication, immigrants everywhere stay in intimate contact with their native countries, creating powerful cross-border networks. In Borderless Economics, Robert Guest, The Economist's business editor, travels through dozens of countries and 44 American states, observing how these networks create wealth, spread ideas and foster innovation.

A spirited and incisive survey of economic geography, A World Made for Money begins with the author stopped at a red light in Norman, Oklahoma. Observing the landscape of drugstores and banks, and for that matter the stoplight and roads themselves, Bret Wallach observes, "Everything I see has been built to make money" or, at the very least, to facilitate making money. This, he argues, is a global phenomenon that nonetheless has occurred only within the past hundred years or so.

Sorto nel 1995 per governare e sviluppare il commercio internazionale, considerato un fattore chiave della crescita in tutti i paesi, già nel 1999 il WTO è il principale bersaglio della protesta no global che esplode a Seattle e mette sotto accusa la sua politica di liberalizzazione. Ma come funziona realmente il WTO? Come vengono prese le decisioni al suo interno e qual è il suo ruolo nelle controversie commerciali tra i vari paesi?

Dapprima ignorati, poi osteggiati, quindi accolti come benefattori del capitalismo finanziario barcollante, infine colpiti da pesanti perdite nella crisi finanziaria internazionale: i fondi sovrani sono saliti alla ribalta dell'opinione pubblica con investimenti eclatanti in aziende degli Stati Uniti e dell'Unione Europea. I paesi del Golfo, Singapore, Cina, Libia, Russia, nonché la Norvegia, grazie ai loro ingenti surplus energetici e commerciali, sono i principali protagonisti di questo scenario. Come nascono i fondi sovrani? Quali sono le loro strategie di investimento?

Politik und Geldpolitik in Europa haben sich von den Grundsätzen verabschiedet, die in der Vergangenheit die Garanten des Erfolgs für den Kontinent waren. Die Finanzkrise und ihre nicht enden wollenden Nachbeben verleiten eine verunsicherte und überforderte Elite an den Schaltstellen der Macht dazu, ihr Heil in Staatsplanung, Intervention und Bürokratie zu suchen. Allen voran entzieht sich die Geldpolitik von Mario Draghi als Chef der Europäischen Zentralbank jeglicher Kontrolle. Auf dem Weg der Eurorettung ist sie zur ungebremsten Staatsfinanzierung degeneriert.

Ideas about globalization have become so completely accepted that they are now embraced as the conventional. This book presents a very different position, based on a serious look at the history of globalization and a reader-friendly presentation of the economic data that dramatically refute the accepted truths advanced by so many commentators.

Globalization is about Americans outsourcing product development and services to other countries. Globality is the next step, where rapidly developing economies from around the world are now competing with us head to head. The authors present a strong case that the economic climate in which we have lived is going to change in unprecedented ways.

America is in decline, and the rise of the East suggests a bleak future for the world’s only superpower - so goes the conventional wisdom. But what if the traditional measures of national status are no longer as important as they once were? What if America’s well-being was assessed according to entirely different factors? In The Upside of Down, Charles Kenny argues that America’s so-called decline is only relative to the newfound success of other countries.

Is Social Security really going bust, and what does that mean to me? If I hire an immigrant, am I hurting a native-born worker? How much can presidents really affect economic outcomes? Why does the stock market go up when employment declines? What's a "living wage?" Why do I feel so squeezed? If you'd like to know the answers to these questions, premier economist Jared Bernstein is here to help.

In this incisive new book, Michael Mandelbaum argues that the era marked by an expansive American foreign policy is coming to an end. During the seven decades from the U.S. entry into World War II in 1941 to the present, economic constraints rarely limited what the United States did in the world. Now that will change. The country's soaring deficits, fueled by the huge costs of the financial crash and of its entitlement programs - Social Security and Medicare - will compel a more modest American international presence.
