史家杨国强以通贯的视野和绵密的思维,在历史的因果之间,重现近代中国“两头不到岸”的徊徨。
近代史学家杨国强教授最新力作。他以隽永的文笔带领读者走入20世纪初年的历史场景,重现晚清末期至民国初年这一过渡时代的思想、政治与社会:数千年来的历史中国在层层分解中走向支离破碎;时人以变应变、各自恢张的新法和西法在现实中国却一败涂地。这期间,科举停置、变法立宪、辛亥鼎革及新文化运动等重大议题次第登场,以前所未有的广泛程度造就了一种“速成的现代化”。作者透过这一段历史的矛盾、错杂、人物之多变和世事的纷乱,寻究这种激变、剧变挟前所未有的烈度和深度造成断裂、脱节、摧折乃至四分五裂的由来、内涵和结果。

哲学
侯外庐 主编; 张岂之等 编著 上海书店出版社
复旦大学教授葛兆光先生认为,《中国思想通史》“几乎笼罩了半个世纪”。但“无论如何,这是一部规模宏大、内容丰富、线索复杂而且文献翔实的著作,要对它进行细致的分析必须极其认真”。
本书是结合哲学思想和社会政治思想一起编著的,大体依据侯外庐主编的五卷六册本《中国思想通史》的主要论点编写的,从这个意义上讲,本书也可看作是《中国思想通史》的缩写本。但是在编写过程中有所侧重、有所补充、有所发展,实际上是一个再创作的过程,而并非《中国思想通史》的简单重复和节略。本书曾在2004年于本社出版过一次,后被列入“世纪文库”重新出版。此次新版增加了再版说明,以满足广大中国思想史爱好者及其学人的需求。

事实真的如此吗?本书通过宫廷政治视角,围绕宋代宫廷政治斗争中聚讼纷纭的关键事件,如陈桥兵变、斧声烛影、澶渊之盟、绍熙政变等,摆脱既有定论的束缚,力图从史料中寻找未被遮蔽和美化的蛛丝马迹,还原宋代宫廷政治权力的聚散变幻,最大限度地发掘两宋宫廷斗争的真相。
(美)理查德 派普斯 著; 郝葵 译 民主与建设出版社著名俄国史学者理查德·派普斯的代表作之一,是他对俄罗斯国家制度与社会的集大成之作,表达了他对俄罗斯历史与文化的深刻而独特的见解。

Think risk :a practical guide to actively managing riskby Shital Thekdi and Terje Aven Routledge
Risk is the single most prevalent and enduring factor that influences every individual, organization, and society. People often seek protection from negative risk events, but also seek to take advantage of opportunities arising from positive risk events.

We seek to leverage evidence and reason to find our own balance between both positive and negative outcomes in an uncertain world.
This groundbreaking book delivers practical concepts and tools that empower readers to leverage innovations in risk science to improve their abilities to interpret, assess, communicate, and handle risk. It provides a practical non-quantitative approach to understanding the risk and making better decisions involving risk.

Through an engaging parable about the travails of an upcoming young manager, Shiv Kundra, whose leadership style hampers both his ability to lead and his ability to deliver, the authors outline the fascinating concept of 'leading from the back'.by Michael Skapinker PearsonWe are in increasingly uncertain times where senior executives are looking for high level and practical business advice from experts and peers on what works - what doesn't and how to navigate their way through the challenges of modern corporate life.

Leadership team alignment :from conflict to collaborationby Frédéric Godart and Jacques Neatby Stanford University PressDebunking much of the received wisdom regarding the sources of leadership team dysfunctionality, Leadership Team Alignment presents a targeted strategy for building and managing a top executive team to gain competitive advantage.

When teams work :how to develop and lead a high-performing teamby Mike Brent, Fiona Dent and Nigel Melville FT PublishingDeveloping high performance teams and effective teamwork is a perennial issue for team leaders and team members alike.

We think the combined experience of the authors and their direct experience of working with both sports and organisational teams is unique. The combination of an academic perspective with a high level practical experience of coaching and leading high performance teams brings clarity and understanding to the concepts, balanced with a pragmatic perspective on how to put these into practice.

Arguing that Simon Sinek's "start with why" approach is compelling yet flawed and Peter Drucker's claim that "culture eats strategy for breakfast" is a myth, Richard Nugent creates a clear, accessible blueprint for a more successful, collaborative and efficient organization. Illustrated with fascinating case studies from the likes of LEGOLAND, Wagamama and The Empire State Building, The Alignment Advantage cuts through organizational silos and inter-departmental tensions to provide an aligned and strategic approach that will allow you to build your success, refine your processes and align your efforts to target your customers and clients.The digital transformation roadmap :rebuild your organization for continuous changeby David L Rogers Columbia University PressToday, every business is talking about digital transformation.

Rogers argues that businesses must transform not just products and business models―they must transform the organization itself. Based on two decades of research and advising companies around the world, Rogers identifies the five biggest barriers to digital transformation: vision, priorities, experimentation, governance, and capabilities. He then shows how any business can evolve by heeding the lessons of companies such as Disney, Walmart, Mastercard, Air Liquide, and the New York Times Company.

经济
韦森 著 上海三联书店
凯恩斯是世人公认的20世纪最伟大的经济学家,也是当代经济学殿堂中被误解最多的思想家。
经济学家韦森基于近十几年来对凯恩斯著作和文章的研读及对其生平的梳理,发现凯恩斯并非如世人所误解那样是一个彻底的政府干预论者甚至计划经济的支持者,他一生都在反对通货膨胀。作为货币经济学家的凯恩斯,有诸多理论贡献对于理解当今世界的经济问题仍颇具启发性。特别值得重视的是,凯恩斯非常强调预期,尤其是企业家的预期,在现代市场经济波动中的作用,认为资本的边际效率的周期性变动取决于企业家的预期,而企业家的预期决定了投资,投资决定了就业,决定了经济增长,这才是现代市场经济产生经济周期的根本性原因。

哲学
马克思 :技术思想家(法)科斯塔斯 阿克塞洛斯 著; 张富公 译 南京大学出版社
马克思的思想超越时代,但直接阅读马克思的著作、领悟马克思的思想往往具有一定的门槛,那么阅读研究马克思思想的著作不失为接近这位伟人、进入其哲学殿堂的有效途径。本书作为“开放马克思主义”倡导者、《争鸣》(Arguments)期刊主编阿克塞洛斯研究马克思思想的专著,在当代马克思主义研究界具有较大影响,曾多次再版,并被翻译成多种语言。
在阿克塞洛斯的笔下,马克思是一个技术思想家:他宣告人们能够通过征服世界而超越自我异化;他指认“技术的胜利,似乎是以道德的败坏为代价换来的”,并不是希望人们摆脱现代技术,而是想使技术摆脱掉一切使它变得非人性的东西,从而将技术自身的力量和人类的力量解放出来。

在本书中,赵向阳博士针对以上弊端进行了比较深入的批判和反思,并且介绍了过去十来年自己的一些探索。这种反思与批判可能不是成体系的,不是特别完整,但是展现了难能可贵的真诚,以及在孤独中特立独行的勇气。

转折 :1947年中共中央在陕北刘统 著 上海人民出版社
1946年6月,国民党当局发动全面内战。战争初期,在我军粉碎了国民党妄图速胜的企图后,国民党军队改行重点进攻陕北和山东解放区,延安陷入危急。面对国民党胡宗南等部的进逼,毛泽东和党中央作出了主动撤离延安的战略抉择。自1947年3月起的一年多时间,中共中央开始了艰苦的陕北转战,成功实现了战场形势由被动到主动的历史性转折。

大变局 :晚清改革五十年谌旭彬 著 浙江人民出版社1861年,咸丰皇帝逃往承德,并死于避暑山庄。为了壮大国力,摆脱面对西方的弱势局面,在慈禧和奕䜣的带领下,大清王朝开启了自上而下的变革之路。改革之路,并非一帆风顺,通过总理衙门的创设、同文馆的建立、近代海关系统的引入、洋务军工企业的创办、外交使团的西行、广学会的成立、废除武举、昆明湖里练兵等事件,大清并未走向愿望中的强大,而是一步步走向了帝国的灭亡。
在1861-1911这五十年里,有许多历史人物值得关注和研究,如缺乏理政常识的太后、连汉献帝都不如的光绪、被逐离政坛的恭亲王等权谋与争斗不绝如缕的清廷高层;还有深埋改革主张的冯桂芬、选择性“开眼看世界”的斌椿、时代的出局者徐继畬、身陷教案的曾国藩等有挣扎但又怯懦的官僚士大夫;同时也有挑战君权神圣的严复、要做陈涉的官二代谭嗣同等图变图强的有识之士;也有在天下观与国家观的碰撞时,作为惨淡时代中流砥柱,但又困于传统礼教之中难以自拔的乡绅;以及生活本就已经支离破碎、濒临崩溃的底层民众。

Economics
The meaning of shared value :new perspective on creating shared valueby Floriana Fusco, Paolo Ricci and Patrick O'Sullivan Routledge
The concept of Creating Shared Value (CSV) – creating 'economic' value in a way that also creates value for the whole of society – has risen in prominence as a corporate policy and a strategy in recent years, mainly for third sector or development organisations. However, while it has received considerable interest among business leaders and practitioners, it has also sparked a bitter debate among academics, proponents and sceptics of the idea. Starting from this argument, the book develops a meta-critical examination of the hidden presuppositions of both supporters and critics of Creating Shared Value, particular in relation to the concept of value.

Politics
How states think :the rationality of foreign policyby John J. Mearsheimer and Sebastian Rosato Yale University Press
To understand world politics, you need to understand how states think. Are states rational? Much of international relations theory assumes that they are. But many scholars believe that political leaders rarely act rationally. The issue is crucial for both the study and practice of international politics, for only if states are rational can scholars and policymakers understand and predict their behavior.
John J. Mearsheimer and Sebastian Rosato argue that rational decisions in international politics rest on credible theories about how the world works and emerge from deliberative decision‑making processes. Using these criteria, they conclude that most states are rational most of the time, even if they are not always successful.

The myth of artificial intelligence :why computers can't think the way we doby Erik J Larson The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press
Ever since Alan Turing, AI enthusiasts have equated artificial intelligence with human intelligence. A computer scientist working at the forefront of natural language processing, Erik Larson takes us on a tour of the landscape of AI to reveal why this is a profound mistake.
AI works on inductive reasoning, crunching data sets to predict outcomes. But humans don’t correlate data sets. We make conjectures, informed by context and experience. And we haven’t a clue how to program that kind of intuitive reasoning, which lies at the heart of common sense. Futurists insist AI will soon eclipse the capacities of the most gifted mind, but Larson shows how far we are from superintelligence―and what it would take to get there.

Material world :the six raw materials that shape modern civilizationby Ed Conway Alfred A. Knopf
In fact, we dug more stuff out of the earth in 2017 than in all of human history before 1950. For every ton of fossil fuels, we extract six tons of other materials, from sand to stone to wood to metal. And in Material World, Conway embarks on an epic journey across continents, cultures, and epochs to reveal the underpinnings of modern life on Earth—traveling from the sweltering depths of the deepest mine in Europe to spotless silicon chip factories in Taiwan to the eerie green pools where lithium originates.
Material World is a celebration of the humans and the human networks, the miraculous processes and the little-known companies, that combine to turn raw materials into things of wonder. This is the story of human civilization from an entirely new perspective: the ground up.

养老金改革 :原则与政策选择(英)尼古拉斯 巴尔, 彼得 戴蒙德 著; 欧阳葵 译 中国人民大学出版社强制性养老金是一个世界性现象。然而,在给定的固定缴费率、月度性给付以及法定退休年龄下,养老金制度与三个长期趋势(死亡率下降、生育率下降以及提前退休)之间呈现出了不一致性。
本书为养老金设计的经济学原理提供了一个广泛的非技术性解释。巴尔与戴蒙德的分析包括了劳动力市场、资本市场、风险分担以及性别与家庭的问题,将现收现付制系统与积累制系统进行了比较,并意识到积累制的合适采纳程度取决于一个国家的具体国情。与良好制度设计的经济学原理一样,养老金政策必须也要考虑一个国家执行制度的能力。因此,在理论分析的基础上,本书讨论了许多国家养老金制度或好或坏的执行经验,特别是智利与中国的养老金制度。

社会
未来十大趋势 :商业, 文化, 消费(美)玛丽安 萨尔兹曼 著; 杨晨光 译 中译出版社
2000年,全球陷入对“千年虫”电脑故障的恐慌之中,人们普遍预期它将导致全球经济危机。然而,没有在一夜之间陷入混乱的人类,反而逐渐陷入之后二十年的经济波动、生态焦虑和部落主义中,这些变化均是在新全球化和数字化文明的背景下发生的。
在这场变革中,高级趋势观察家玛丽安·萨尔兹曼的预测逐渐变为现实。她揭露了人类从千禧年转折点到大流行时代的生命轨迹:混乱和分离成为新常态、公平和正义问题越来越受到关注、能源的可持续性发展和环境保护问题成为全球焦点、呼吸空间变成了地球生物最大的奢侈品、生活和工作方式的数字化愈发显著、人类社会向多元化、开放和包容发展的同时也面临着新的矛盾和挑战。萨尔兹曼游走于不同的技术和时间之间,将商业、生活、消费、家庭及娱乐等元素相互连接,为我们解读十五年之后的新世界提供了前瞻性的洞察。

通过 18个月的田野调查、9年的跟踪寻访,与400多位高新技术行业的失业者的深入交流,人类学家卡丽·莱恩深刻呈现了这群失业者的遭遇,并挖掘出隐藏在这一群体背后的生存哲学——“一人公司”:在精英主义与新自由主义的理念下,白领很少将自己的失业归咎于“制度”或雇主,而是倾向于责怪自己,或将失业视为全球经济中商业周期和竞争的必然结果。由此,所有的工作都变成临时的,不再存在职业忠诚,个人为自己的职业生涯负责,做自己的后勤与财务,把自己当作商品来推销,当作一家“一人公司”来经营。
他们小心经营着自己的“一人公司”。然而,当泡沫破灭,将一切寄托于自己的努力,还是唯一的出路吗?

赵宏 著 云南人民出版社
本书是中国政法大学行政法学赵宏教授的法律随笔,以近年的时事新闻引入,普及公权与私权的界限。
"对个人而言,法无禁止即可为;对公权而言,法无授权即禁止。" 法律说到底,真正关心的是每个人的自由与权利。行政法作为"小刑法",与公民生活息息相关,比如给孩子起名"韦我独尊"是否寻衅滋事?能否通过穿衣立法,以防止伤害民族感情?网暴事件背后的平台是否有责任等。随着公众权利意识的提高,从行政法视角切入普法,是法治科普拼图中不可或缺的一块。权力的边界,就是个人自由的边界。

Economics
The economic government of the world :1933-2023by Martin Daunton Farrar Straus and Giroux
In this vivid landmark history, the distinguished economic historian Martin Daunton pulls back the curtain on the institutions and individuals who have created and managed the global economy over the last ninety years, revealing how and why one economic order breaks down and another is built. During the Great Depression, trade and currency warfare led to the rise of economic nationalism―a retreat from globalization that culminated in war. From World War II came a new, liberal economic order. Squarely reflecting the interests of the West in the Cold War, liberalism faced collapse in the 1970s and was succeeded by neoliberalism, financialization, and hyper-globalization.
Now, as leading nations are tackling the fallout from Covid-19 and threats of inflation, food insecurity, and climate change, Daunton calls for a return to a more just and equitable form of globalization. Western imperial powers have overwhelmingly determined the structures of world economic government, often advancing their own self-interests and leading to ruinous resource extraction, debt, poverty, and political and social instability in the Global South. He argues that while our current economic system is built upon the politics of and between the world’s biggest economies, a future of global recovery―and the reduction of economic inequality―requires the development of multilateral institutions.
Just price in the markets :a historyby Charles R. Geisst Yale University PressThe question of what constitutes a fair price has been at the center of market interactions since the time of Aristotle. Should a seller sell to the highest bidder, or is there some other standard, such as a morally defined price, to be applied? Charles R. Geisst traces the ways that philosophers, religious leaders, and economists have sought to answer that question, from antiquity through the modern era.
Today, pricing is seen as an economic inevitability, dictated by the laws of supply and demand. But this has not always been the case. As Geisst argues, the idea of a just price was once a moral concept, long before it was an economic one.Wealth supremacy :how the extractive economy and the biased rules of capitalism drive today's crisesby Marjorie Kelly Berrett-Koehler PublishersA powerful analysis of how the bias towards wealth that is woven into the very fabric of American capitalism is damaging people, the economy, and the planet, and what the foundations of a new economy could be.
This bold manifesto exposes seven myths underlying wealth supremacy, the bias that institutionalizes infinite extraction of wealth by and for the wealthy, and is the hidden force behind economic injustice, the climate crisis, and so many other problems of our day.

But unless you change the organizational structures—the practices, processes, and systems that surround and support individual behaviors—your change efforts will not take root. Structural inclusion makes behavioral inclusion stick.
The authors provide assessment tools and case studies of organizations that have implemented each discipline, highlighting what worked and what tripped them up. And they take a wider view, showing how inclusive organizations practicing the five disciplines can address what they call society’s four vital tasks: diversify leadership, eradicate polarization, achieve justice, and save the planet. This is a complete guide to how to make your organization a systematic, process-oriented engineer of change for the full range of your stakeholders.
Breaking through :communicating to open minds, move hearts, and change the worldby Sally Susman Harvard Business Review PressA global pandemic. A roller-coaster economy. Political tensions ready to ignite, and common civility at an all-time low. For leaders, the pressures and the stakes could not be higher. And in such a stormy, often dangerous world, communications can no longer be considered a soft skill. The ability to reach people and drive public conversation is a rock-hard competency.
In this wise and inspiring book, Sally Susman, the renowned head of corporate affairs at global biopharmaceutical giant Pfizer, tells the fascinating story of how the company managed the massive communications challenge that came with Covid-19 and the race to produce an effective vaccine. Just as crucial as creating the vaccine itself was the task of winning people's hearts and minds, and Susman highlights the principles that enabled her to break through, connect, and help move people forward, not only at Pfizer but over a long and stellar career.

Communications

Many of us dread having to convey our ideas to others, often feeling ill-equipped, anxious, and awkward.

In Think Faster, Talk Smarter, Stanford lecturer, podcast host, and communication expert Matt Abrahams provides tangible, actionable skills to help even the most anxious of speakers succeed when speaking spontaneously. Abrahams provides science-based strategies for managing anxiety, responding to the mood of the room, and making content concise, relevant, compelling, and memorable. Drawing on stories from his clients and students, he offers best practices for navigating Q&A sessions, shining in job interviews, providing effective feedback, making small talk, fixing faux pas, persuading others, and handling other impromptu speaking tasks.

Self-empowerment
Working identity :unconventional strategies for reinventing your careerby Herminia Ibarra Harvard Business Review Press
In this update of the groundbreaking classic, bestselling author Herminia Ibarra presents a model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from "career experts"—and is tailor-made for changing careers in today's uncertain world. Career transition is not a linear path toward some predetermined identity, according to Ibarra, but a crooked journey along which we try on a host of "possible selves" we might become. Successful reinvention comes not from deciphering and analyzing our past, but from inventing and testing our possible futures.
Clear thinking :turning ordinary moments into extraordinary resultsby Shane Parrish Portfolio/PenguinClear Thinking gives you the tools to recognize the moments that have the potential to transform your trajectory and reshape how you navigate the critical space between stimulus and response. As Parrish shows, we may imagine we are the protagonists in the story of our lives. But the sad truth is, most of us run on autopilot. Our behavioral defaults, groomed by biology, evolution, and culture, are primed to run the show for us if we don’t intervene. At our worst, we react to events without reasoning, not even realizing that we’ve missed an opportunity to think at all. At our best, we recognize these moments for what they are, and apply the full capacity of our reasoning and rationality to them.
Through stories, mental models, and more, Parrish offers the missing link between behavioral science and real-life outcomes. The result is a must-have manual for optimizing decision-making, gaining competitive advantage, and living a more intentional life.

复杂经济学 :经济思想的新框架(美)布莱恩 阿瑟 著; 贾拥民 译 浙江科学技术出版社
传统经济学的思想框架和知识谱系越来越难以解释这个快速变化的世界。“复杂经济学”创始人布莱恩·阿瑟认为,当今世界面临的既不是市场失灵的问题,也不是政府失灵的问题,而是理论失灵的问题,确定性思想是这一切的根源。阿瑟在多年研究的基础上提出了“复杂经济学”这一经济思想新框架,指出经济不一定处于均衡状态,不确定性才是经济世界的主旋律。
这是一本见证“复杂经济学”成长的著作,你将看到“复杂性思维”在经济学领域是如何发展起来并形成一门崭新的学科。本书通过“爱尔法鲁酒吧问题”和“圣塔菲人工股票市场”两个重要项目,将复杂思维和经济学系统的融合过程娓娓道来,对于我们理解当今所处的时代环境具有深刻的启示。
大逆转 :美国市场经济的深层困境(法)托马斯 菲利庞 著; 蒙长玉, 段小力 译 格致出版社 : 上海人民出版社,为什么美国的手机套餐费用要比欧洲贵得多?在为这个简单问题寻找答案的过程中,经济学家菲利庞基于各种实证数据,踏上了一段充满发现的探究之旅,得出了一个令人惊讶的结论:曾经是自由竞争市场模板的美国,正在放弃健康的市场竞争。
本书通过对美国制造业和服务业产业集中度的长期追踪,令人信服地证明,在过去二十年里,美国各行业都只剩下少数大企业称雄,弱势企业早已被逐出市场,美国经济的市场竞争性已经被大大削弱。而与此同时,长期以来因竞争僵化和反垄断薄弱而饱受诟病的欧洲,却在美国擅长的“竞争游戏”中击败了美国。
(德)马克斯 韦伯 著; 杨一 译 民主与建设出版社《世界经济通史》是德国经济学家、社会学家马克斯·韦伯的代表作,内容是其在慕尼黑大学所作的一系列讲演的笔记汇编,阐述了他毕生关注的课题——资本主义的兴起。
全书分别考察了前资本主义的农业、工矿业、商业及现代资本主义兴起的经济导因与文化根源,探讨典型的日耳曼定居制度的传布、演变及其内容,也将日耳曼农村组织与苏格兰敞地制度、俄罗斯米尔(村社)土地制度、中国的井田制、印度的村落等做了比较研究,揭示了国家和民族发展和崛起的原因,阐释对资本主义的全局性思考和宏观解析。被誉为“研究资本主义理论方面的经典读本”。
小麦战争 :谷物如何重塑世界霸权(美)斯科特 雷诺兹 尼尔森 著; 黄芳萍 译 中译出版社要了解各个帝国的兴衰史,我们必须循着河流沿岸、港口之间以及横跨海城的粮食贸易路线进行探寻。历史学家斯科特·雷诺兹·尼尔森在《小麦战争》中揭示了:通过努力控制这些路线,可改变世界强国之间的力量均势。
19世纪初,俄罗斯帝国通过乌克兰境内的敖德萨港口向欧洲大部分地区供应食物。但在美国内战之后,成吨的美国小麦开始涌入大西洋,食品价格暴跌。这些廉价的外国粮食推动了德国和意大利的崛起、哈布斯堡王朝和奥斯曼帝国的衰落。这也是第一次世界大战与俄国革命爆发的关键因素之一。作者从公元前一万年娓娓道来,讲述了谷物重塑世界霸权的历程,透过历史档案,重现英国、法国、荷兰、比利时、乌克兰与俄罗斯帝国如何因谷物的运输与供给兴盛,又如何因为美国廉价的小麦与全球化贸易遭遇挑战。

极速应对 :美国应对2007-2009年全球金融危机背后的逻辑(美)本 伯南克, 蒂莫西 盖特纳, 亨利 保尔森 梁内利 编; 孙天琦, 杨柳, 赵冰喆等 译 中信出版社
《极速应对》由本·伯南克、蒂莫西·盖特纳、亨利·保尔森和梁内利等人于2019年组织编写,是一线危机应对者对2007—2009年全球金融危机时期美国政府所采取的应对措施的全面回顾。
作者们亲身参与了当时的危机应对,他们以一线作战时的一手信息为基础,全面复盘了危机演变历程、当时的应对措施以及这些政策措施背后的考量,总结了应对中的经验教训,提出了反思建议。很多改善或继承也体现在2023年3—5月对美国硅谷银行、签名银行、第一共和银行,甚至瑞士信贷银行的风险应对和处置中,每家出险银行从爆发风险到解决问题仅用了不到一周时间,两个月内就平息了一场可能冲击欧美甚至冲击全球的银行危机(主要是对几家全球系统重要性银行以及部分美国区域银行的冲击)。
作者在书中指出,“危机爆发10年后,我们认为全面回顾美国的应对政策,包括我们的决策依据、对政策有效性的评估以及对未来的教训等,是有必要的”,“我们撰写本书的想法很简单:我们欠未来的危机应对者一份指导手册,一份我们自己在应对危机时从未得到过的手册”。

白色天空下 :当自然不再自然(美)伊丽莎白 科尔伯特 著; 叶盛 译 上海译文出版社
《白色天空下》是普利策奖得主、《大灭绝时代》作者科尔伯特的新作,延续前作话题,关注不断逼近的第六次大灭绝。
“人类改造自然”是本书的主题。过去,人类为了自身的生活便利改造自然,现在和未来将为了弥补过去造成的破坏而改造自然。通过采访世界各地最前沿的科学项目,科尔伯特描述的是一个人工痕迹越来越多的世界:人类已不可能将自然恢复成原本的样子,甚至无法仅靠减排等手段减缓大灭绝到来的速度,只有大胆而谨慎地干预自然,才有可能逆转全球变暖。
如果说《大灭绝时代》是对已经过去的“反常的自然史”的回顾,那么《白色天空下》就是对未来世界的展望。书中所讲述的未来并非遥不可及,我们中的许多人可能在有生之年就能够见证天空变成白色,碳被大量转换成石头埋到地下,经过基因改造的个体消灭入侵物种……我们甚至可能目睹这些为解决问题而进行的自然干预所带来的新问题。

Move fast & fix things :the trusted leader's guide to solving hard problemsby Frances Frei and Anne Morriss Harvard Business Review PressSpeed has gotten a bad name in business, much of it deserved. When Facebook made "Move fast and break things" an informal company motto, it fueled a widely held belief that we can either make progress or take care of people, one or the other. A certain amount of wreckage is the price we have to pay for inventing the future.
Leadership experts Frances Frei and Anne Morriss argue that this belief is deeply flawed—and that it keeps you from building a great company. Helping executives and entrepreneurs solve their toughest problems over the past decade, Frei and Morriss learned that the trade-off between speed and excellence is false. The best change leaders solve hard problems with fierce urgency while making their organizations—employees, customers, and shareholders—even stronger. They move fast and fix things.

The idea chase :seven principles for breakthrough innovationby Albert H. Segars World Scientific"Breakthrough" innovation is often difficult to achieve. Great ideas hide in places that are not obvious. They often first appear as bits and pieces of fragmented ideas rather than something fully revealed. In addition, the story behind chasing ideas is as elusive as the ideas themselves. Some say that breakthrough innovation is magical, unlearnable, or inborn. It is a wonderful fairy tale of inspiration. However, evidence does not fully support the "inspiration" hypothesis. A successful Idea Chase is a combination of inspiration and disciplined hard work. These important ingredients cannot be separated, they work together to reveal something that is unseen by others. Artists, authors, musicians, as well as leaders of some of the most innovative organizations have mastered this approach. It is a skill that can be described, developed, and managed.
As described in this book, the story of innovation is built on seven key principles and a toolbox of supporting methods: Be Ambitious, Create Chemistry, Define Roles and Responsibilities, Build Trust, Lean on Data, Show Perseverance, and Embrace Sacrifice.

Centennials :the 12 habits of great, enduring organisationsby Alex Hill Cornerstone PressProfessor Alex Hill has conducted seven years of groundbreaking research into a clutch of organisations that have outperformed their peers for over 100 years - from NASA to the New Zealand All Blacks, from Eton College and the Royal College of Arts to the Royal Marines and the Royal Shakespeare Company. And what he has found is that these very different organisations all share remarkably similar strategies when it comes to building and maintaining excellence and success - strategies that frequently fly in the face of conventional business wisdom.
Here Professor Hill shares the twelve traits that have set these organisations apart for over a century, from the way they analyse success and failure to their approach to finding the best people and the brightest new ideas. In so doing, he identifies the strategies and habits that you can employ in your company to create a strong and stable core and to ensure the same long-term prosperity. In short, he shows you how to build a promising enterprise into an enduring, great organisation.Irresistible :the seven secrets of the world's most enduring, employee-focused organizationsby Josh Bersin Ideapress PublishingIn this leadership book, renowned industry analyst Josh Bersin introduces a new way to think about organizational design, employee engagement, and employee development.

Biography
George Soros :a life in fulledited by Peter L. W. Osnos Platform Books, Harvard Business Review Press
The name George Soros is recognized around the world. At age 91, Soros still looms large on the global stage, and yet the man himself is surprisingly little understood. Asking people to describe Soros is likely to elicit different and seemingly contradictory answers.
Biographers have attempted to tell the story of George Soros, but no single account of his life can capture his extraordinary, multifaceted character. Now, in this ambitious and revealing new book, Soros's longtime publisher, Peter L. W. Osnos, has assembled an intriguing set of contributors. Some have worked closely with Soros, while others have wrestled with issues and quandaries similar to his in their own endeavors. Their collective expertise shines a new light on Soros's activities and passions and, to the extent possible, the motivation for them and the outcomes that resulted.

I, human :AI, automation, and the quest to reclaim what makes us uniqueby Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic Harvard Business Review PressIt's no secret that AI is changing the way we live, work, love, and entertain ourselves. Dating apps are using AI to pick our potential partners. Retailers are using AI to predict our behavior and desires. Rogue actors are using AI to persuade us with bots and misinformation. Companies are using AI to hire us—or not.
In I, Human psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic takes readers on an enthralling and eye-opening journey across the AI landscape. Though AI has the potential to change our lives for the better, he argues, AI is also worsening our bad tendencies, making us more distracted, selfish, biased, narcissistic, entitled, predictable, and impatient.

Invention and innovation :a brief history of hype and failureby Vaclav Smil The MIT Press
The world is never finished catching up with Vaclav Smil. In his latest and perhaps most readable book, Invention and Innovation, the prolific author—a favorite of Bill Gates—pens an insightful and fact-filled jaunt through the history of human invention.
Drawing on his vast breadth of scientific and historical knowledge, Smil explains the difference between invention and innovation, and looks not only at inventions that failed to dominate as promised (such as the airship, nuclear fission, and supersonic flight), but also at those that turned disastrous (leaded gasoline, DDT, and chlorofluorocarbons). And finally, most importantly, he offers a “wish list” of inventions that we most urgently need to confront the staggering challenges of the twenty-first century.

Finance
Money and empire :Charles P. Kindleberger and the dollar systemby Perry Mehrling Cambridge University Press
Charles Kindleberger ranks as one of the twentieth century's best known and most influential international economists. This book traces the evolution of his thinking in the context of a 'key-currency' approach to the rise of the dollar system, here revealed as the indispensable framework for global economic development since World War II. Unlike most of his colleagues, Kindleberger was deeply interested in history, and his economics brimmed with real people and institutional details. His research at the New York Fed and BIS during the Great Depression, his wartime intelligence work, and his role in administering the Marshall Plan gave him deep insight into how the international financial system really operated. A biography of both the dollar and a man, this book is also the story of the development of ideas about how money works.
Up close and all in :life lessons from a Wall Street warriorby John Mack with Linda Kulman Simon ElementFrom John Mack, former CEO of Morgan Stanley, an intimate personal memoir and riveting business story, recounting how he helped grow the company from 300 to 50,000 employees over four decades, transformed a notoriously competitive culture into a successful and collaborative one, and lead the company through the 2008 financial crisis.
During his thirty-four-year tenure at Morgan Stanley, John Mack’s goal was to build the strongest and most productive team on Wall Street. His ability to motivate his employees to do their best work, especially in times of crisis, was fostered by his willingness to slash through bureaucracy and stand up to powerful interests. A forceful personality, one journalist said Mack was “described as ‘charismatic’ so regularly that it could be part of his name.”The Bitcoin dilemma :weighing the economic and environmental costs and benefitsby Colin L. Read Palgrave MacmillanThere are few innovations that have the potential to revolutionize commerce and have evolved so quickly that there remain significant misunderstandings about their operation, opportunity, and challenges as has Bitcoin in the dozen years since its invention. The potential for banking, transacting, and public recording of important records is profound, but can be displacing if not done with appropriate care, and is downright dangerous if certain pitfalls are not noted and avoided. Among other things, this book proves the existence of a Bitcoin dilemma that challenges the conventional wisdom which mistakenly asserts the incredibly intensive energy consumption in Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency mining will be remedied by more efficient mining machines or sustainable power sources.
Beating inflation :an agile, concrete and effective corporate guideby Hermann Simon and Adam Echter SpringerIs unabated inflation the new normal? Inflation is back and here to stay.

This book examines inflation from multiple perspectives and offers actions and strategies for companies to cope with and manage it to ensure their survival. For businesses and consumers, it is not a question of eliminating inflation, but how to cope with it in order to suffer as little damage as possible. This includes not just price management, but also sales, finance, purchasing, cost management along with digitalization and innovation activities in equal measure. It also requires corporate cultural change, which if managed fast and successfully, the prospects of defeating inflation and thus ensuring the survival of the company are good.

Management
by Bent Flyvbjerg with Dan Gardner Currency
In fact, no less than 92% of megaprojects come in over budget or over schedule, or both. The cost of California’s high-speed rail project soared from $33 billion to $100 billon—and won’t even go where promised. More modest endeavors, whether launching a small business, organizing a conference, or just finishing a work project on time, also commonly fail. Why?

Self-empowerment
Stolen focus :why you can't pay attention-and how to think deeply againby Johann Hari Crown
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Post, Mashable, Mindful
We think our inability to focus is a personal failure to exert enough willpower over our devices. The truth is even more disturbing: our focus has been stolen by powerful external forces that have left us uniquely vulnerable to corporations determined to raid our attention for profit. Hari found that there are twelve deep causes of this crisis, from the decline of mind-wandering to rising pollution, all of which have robbed some of our attention.
Crucially, Hari learned how we can reclaim our focus—as individuals, and as a society—if we are determined to fight for it. Stolen Focus will transform the debate about attention and finally show us how to get it back.Buy back your time :get unstuck, reclaim your freedom, and build your empireby Dan Martell Portfolio/PenguinLearn to conquer the one real hurdle to scaling your company and growing rich: Time

Now, in his first book, Buy Back Your Time, he teaches entrepreneurs at every level how to scale their business, fast, while avoiding burnout.

Economics
Economic prehistory :six transitions that shaped the worldby Gregory K. Dow and Clyde G. Reed Cambridge University Press
Around 15,000 years ago, almost all humans lived in small mobile foraging bands. By about 5,000 years ago, the first city-states had appeared. This radical transformation in human society laid the foundations for the modern world. We use economic logic and archaeological evidence to explain six key elements in this revolution: sedentism, agriculture, inequality, warfare, cities, and states. In our approach the ultimate cause of these events was climate change. We show how shifts in climate interacted with geography to drive technological innovation and population growth. The accumulation of population at especially rich locations led to creation of group property rights over land, stratification into elite and commoner classes, and warfare over land among rival elites. This set the stage for urbanization based on manufacturing or military defense and for elite-controlled states based on taxation. Our closing chapter shows how these developments eventually resulted in contemporary global civilization.

Finance
Sustainable investing in practice :ESG challenges and opportunitiesby Simon Smiles and James Purcell Kogan Page Limited
The compelling promise of progressing profits, purpose and the planet is what drives sustainable investing. Yet the field is also packed with challenges and pitfalls for the finance industry.
Sustainable Investing in Practice provides a pragmatic steer for how finance professionals can navigate the realities of ESG investing so they can achieve the impact they desire. It addresses the obvious problems - a lack of common standards, opaque vocabulary, irrelevant data - that investors face. And it explains the skewed incentives and compromises that have held sustainable investing back. Yet it does not dwell on obstacles and defeat. Instead, it shows readers how to develop sustainable strategies and improve outcomes, covering critical topics such as ESG ratings, data and disclosure policies and multi-asset portfolios, while also documenting successful practices and pointing out how to modify inadequate ones.Quantitative hedge funds :discretionary, systematic, AI, ESG and quantamentalby Richard D Bateson World ScientificWelcome to the secretive club of modern hedge funds, where important players in the world of investing and capital markets have invested close to $4 trillion globally.

Bucking the buck :US financial sanctions and the international backlash against the dollarby Daniel McDowell Oxford University PressThe US dollar is the world's indispensable currency. The dollar's preeminent status gives the United States enormous coercive powers which it flexes in the form of financial sanctions to punish its adversaries. Over the last twenty years, Washington has relied on financial sanctions with greater and greater frequency. Bucking the Buck argues that the more the United States wields the dollar as a weapon of foreign policy, the more its adversaries will move their international economic activities into other currencies to avoid Washington's coercive reach. Through a combination of case studies and statistical analysis, the book establishes a relationship between US financial sanctions and the rise of "anti-dollar" policies, which are designed to reduce an economy's reliance on the US currency. Though some anti-dollar policies fail to achieve this goal, McDowell's analysis indicates that in many cases they are successful. Patterns of "de-dollarization" following sanctions are clear.

Sebastian Harvard Business Review PressTo be a top performer in the digital economy—to become truly future ready—you need a playbook. Now you have one.
In their years of working with senior executives around the world, MIT research scientists Stephanie Woerner, Peter Weill, and Ina Sebastian noticed that these leaders knew they had to transform their businesses, but lacked a coherent framework and a common language—a playbook—to guide and motivate their employees and keep everyone focused on a common goal.

Based on years of rigorous research with data from more than a thousand companies—BBVA, CEMEX, DBS, Fidelity, Maersk, and many others—the book provides a powerful, field-tested "four pathways" framework that offers insights into the important dimensions at which a firm must excel in order to be competitive, as well as the organizational disruptions that every firm must manage as part of the transformation journey.
Exit path :how to win the startup end gameby Touraj Parang McGraw HillIn 2008, Touraj Parang's award-winning startup, Jaxtr, had 10 million users, raised nearly $20 million from top-tier Silicon Valley investors, and seemed poised to sail straight through the Great Recession. But, by January of 2009, Jaxtr’s only hope for survival was to find a buyer―sadly, it was too late for that.
In Exit Path, Touraj draws on the lessons learned from that chaotic experience and the extraordinary successes that followed once he (and the entrepreneurs he advises) made creating and executing an exit strategy a top priority. For too long entrepreneurs have been failing to establish the requisite relationships and properly prepare for the most important milestone in their life cycle: a sale to an acquirer. But in today’s hyper competitive and interconnected business world, that is no longer an option. In this first-of-its-kind, comprehensive guide, you'll discover the surprising reasons few startups succeed while many fail―and you’ll learn that implementing an exit strategy early will empower you to take charge of your startup’s ultimate fate, maximizing its potential for success while mitigating the risks of failure.

Business educators use cases to give students the experience of solving real challenges while standing in the shoes of real-life business leaders and asking 'why?'.

History
Palo Alto :a history of California, capitalism, and the worldby Malcolm Harris Little, Brown and Company
NATIONAL BESTSELLER.
In PALO ALTO, the first comprehensive, global history of Silicon Valley, Malcolm Harris examines how and why Northern California evolved in the particular, consequential way it did, tracing the ideologies, technologies, and policies that have been engineered there over the course of 150 years of Anglo settler colonialism, from IQ tests to the "tragedy of the commons," racial genetics, and "broken windows" theory. The Internet and computers, too. It's a story about how a small American suburb became a powerful engine for economic growth and war, and how it came to lead the world into a surprisingly disastrous 21st century. PALO ALTO is an urgent and visionary history of the way we live now, one that ends with a clear-eyed, radical proposition for how we might begin to change course.

Biography
Yellen :the trailblazing economist who navigated an era of upheavalby Jon Hilsenrath Harper Business, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers,
At the dawn of the 21st century, many of America’s leaders believed that free trade, modern finance, technology, and wise government policy had paved the way for a new era of prosperity. Then came a cascade of disasters—a bursting tech bubble, domestic terror attacks, a housing market implosion, a financial system crisis, a deadly global pandemic. These events led to serial recessions, deepened America’s political fractures and widened the divide between those best off and everyone else.
Award-winning economics writer Jon Hilsenrath examines what happened, viewing events through the experiences of two historic figures: Janet Yellen was Treasury Secretary, Federal Reserve Chairwoman and Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. Her husband, George Akerlof, was an imaginative Nobel prize–winning economist.
In telling their story, Hilsenrath explores long-running intellectual battles over the fragile balance between unruly democratic government and unpredictable markets. He introduces readers to the cast of modern intellectuals and policy makers who deciphered, shaped, and steered these systems through prosperity, chaos, and reformation. And he explains what went wrong, why, and what might happen next.

Microprediction :building an open AI Networkby Peter Cotton The MIT Press
How a web-scale network of autonomous micromanagers can challenge the AI revolution and combat the high cost of quantitative business optimization.
The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is leaving behind small businesses and organizations that cannot afford in-house teams of data scientists. In Microprediction, Peter Cotton examines the repeated quantitative tasks that drive business optimization from the perspectives of economics, statistics, decision making under uncertainty, and privacy concerns. He asks what things currently described as AI are not “microprediction,” whether microprediction is an individual or collective activity, and how we can produce and distribute high-quality microprediction at low cost. The world is missing a public utility, he concludes, while companies are missing an important strategic approach that would enable them to benefit—and also give back.

Self-empowerment
The power of regret :how looking backward moves us forwardby Daniel H. Pink Riverhead Books
Named a Best Book of 2022 by NPR and Financial Times.
Everybody has regrets, Daniel H. Pink explains in The Power of Regret. They’re a universal and healthy part of being human. And understanding how regret works can help us make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and bring greater meaning to our lives.
Drawing on research in social psychology, neuroscience, and biology, Pink debunks the myth of the “no regrets” philosophy of life. And using the largest sampling of American attitudes about regret ever conducted as well as his own World Regret Survey—which has collected regrets from more than 15,000 people in 105 countries—he lays out the four core regrets that each of us has. These deep regrets offer compelling insights into how we live and how we can find a better path forward.

江绪林 著 上海文艺出版社

Economics
by Bernie Sanders with John Nichols Crown
A progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status quo that has enriched millionaires and billionaires at the expense of the working class, and a blueprint for what transformational change would actually look like.
It’s OK to be angry about capitalism. Reflecting on our turbulent times, Senator Bernie Sanders takes on the billionaire class and speaks blunt truths about our country’s failure to address the destructive nature of a system that is fueled by uncontrolled greed and rigidly committed to prioritizing corporate profits over the needs of ordinary Americans.
by Matthew Desmond Crown“Urgent and accessible . . . Its moral force is a gut punch.”—The New Yorker
In this landmark book, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond draws on history, research, and original reporting to show how affluent Americans knowingly and unknowingly keep poor people poor. Those of us who are financially secure exploit the poor, driving down their wages while forcing them to overpay for housing and access to cash and credit. We prioritize the subsidization of our wealth over the alleviation of poverty, designing a welfare state that gives the most to those who need the least. And we stockpile opportunity in exclusive communities, creating zones of concentrated riches alongside those of concentrated despair. Some lives are made small so that others may grow.by World Bank World Bank GroupGlobal growth is projected to slow significantly in the second half of this year, with weakness continuing in 2024. Inflation pressures persist, and tight monetary policy is expected to weigh substantially on activity. The possibility of more widespread bank turmoil and tighter monetary policy could result in even weaker global growth. Rising borrowing costs in advanced economies could lead to financial dislocations in the more vulnerable emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs). In low-income countries, in particular, fiscal positions are increasingly precarious. Comprehensive policy action is needed at the global and national levels to foster macroeconomic and financial stability. Among many EMDEs, and especially in low-income countries, bolstering fiscal sustainability will require generating higher revenues, making spending more efficient, and improving debt management practices. Continued international cooperation is also necessary to tackle climate change, support populations affected by crises and hunger, and provide debt relief where needed.

法律
张守东 著 东方出版社
一本写给传统中国法的叙事诗,一次对传统中国法的 “沿波讨源”。
历史上中华法律或紧或松,都是华夏长河的潮涨潮退,我们无法完全复现千年来的水文,但可以拣拾岸边的卵石,感受被文化涛涛冲刷的它们,是怎样大小不一、触感不同,由此尝试追溯中华法律文明的源头,进而细究一个个真实案例下的历史故事、法律变迁,品味这永不停息的法律文化脉络,感叹她静水流深、源源不绝。
通过鞭辟入里的阐述,作者证明了:在法律技术层面,中国大可不必妄自菲薄,我们并不落后于同期西方法律,甚至犹有胜之,虽因近代发展进程而退出历史舞台,但“传统中国法”并未终结也不会终结,它是广大中华儿女可以随时追溯、时刻省思的灵感来源,它会帮助这个“古老的自由与正义国度”成为人类命运共同体中力行自由与正义的主体。

本书作者何善蒙老师用通俗易懂的语言,讲解以孔孟老庄等十四位中国古代哲人的思想,展现中国先哲的人生境界,为现代人的生活提供启示。孔子的思想告诉我们,生活越是艰难,越要保持纯粹的乐观主义,坚守内心的道德准则;老子的思想告诉我们,人在入世时要正视自己的欲望,学会与之和解;庄子的思想告诉我们,人活于世,始终无法脱离俗世,此时更要放下执念,不与俗世斤斤计较。现代人关于出世与入世的困惑,都能从先哲的思想中找到透彻解答。
(法)皮埃尔 阿多 著 ; 姜丹丹 译 上海译文出版社本书是法国当代哲学家皮埃尔·阿多和芝加哥大学教授戴维森以及法国高等社会科学研究院副教授卡尔利埃的对话录。阿多是一个优秀的哲学家,也是一个能够把奥勒留、普罗提诺、斯多葛派说清楚的传递者。他以渊博的学识指出,在古代,哲学并不是体系的建构,而是对生活的选择,是旨在建立一种智慧效果的亲身体验,简言之,是走向智慧之路的实践。
跟随皮埃尔·阿多,读者将领会如何阅读和诠释古代的智慧,为什么古希腊、罗马的哲学可以帮助我们更好地生活。“做哲学,即学习面向死亡”,要学会“活在此刻,犹如最后一次也是初次看到世界一样”。不再注意未来,而是观察自身,不把世界视为我们行动的简单框架,而是在自身中看它,为自己看它。这是既具存在价值也具伦理价值的立场。

许倬云 著 九州出版社世界文明正在发生着变局!许倬云从全球大历史的视角,以两条主线分别勾勒出东西方文明三千年来发展的路线图及各自的异同:两者长期以来平行发展,也存在各自发展的“峰与谷”及转折点;最终,中国形成大一统国家,欧洲走向了列国并立,直至现代民族国家的形成。明清以来中国一落千丈,欧洲人则发现新大陆,开启了以工业革命为基础的现代文明。从此以后,西方世界所形成的现代文明,引领着世界文明的方向。本书从地理环境、社会制度、思想文化等方面,以两相对照的方式剖析了两者的成败因缘,并指明了中华文明复兴可能面临的机遇与挑战。
(澳)约翰 祖布尔茨基 著 ; 马百亮 译 中信出版社印度5000年历史的速写!客观还原一个真实的印度!
它是亚洲东西两部分之间的支点,也是海上丝绸之路的关键节点;它是和中国并列的四大文明古国之一,也是世界第三和第四大宗教的发源地。如今,它的人口位列世界人口榜头位,它的影响力已超越印度洋、覆盖全球。它就是印度,一个神奇而又充满矛盾的国家,一个与中国巨龙毗邻而居的南亚巨象。
在5000年的历史长河中,印度容纳了宗教、文化、语言、种族和政治的多样性,外来文明从来不曾真正征服印度,反而被印度吸纳甚至同化。独立以来,基于多元文化的世俗民族主义也一直是印度的立国之本。但新的问题正在出现。未来或许可期,但这取决于印度人民如何应对巨大的挑战。也许,印度人民可以从他们5000年的文明史中找到一些答案。

演讲
有声的中国 :演说的魅力及其可能性陈平原 著 商务印书馆
演说,是现代中国非常重要的文化现象之一。而这声音的背后,有人、有文、有思想、有时代。虽然相较于文字,声音更易于消失于历史的深处,但那些留存下来的珍贵演讲,那些关于演讲氛围的生动描摹,那些对于演讲现场的光影留念,都为我们复原了一个“有声”的现代中国。
陈平原教授的这部新作,可以说是一次特殊的探索:通过钩稽“演说”的变化,兼及阅读(文字)、倾听(声音)与观看(图像)三种触摸历史的路径,呈现出一个有声有色、有动有静的现代中国,也借以透视整个时代的政治与文化氛围。

China Economic Update, June 2023:Sustaining Growth through the Recovery and Beyondby World Bank World Bank Group
Economic activity bounced back in Q1 2023 with the removal of mobility restrictions and a surge in spending on services. However, growth momentum has slowed since April, indicating that China's recovery remains fragile and dependent on policy support. China's GDP growth is projected to rise to a 5.6 percent in 2023, led by a rebound in consumer spending. The economic recovery offers an important opportunity for policymakers to refocus their efforts on achieving China's longer-term development objectives.
The poverty paradox :understanding economic hardship amid American prosperityby Mark Robert Rank Oxford University PressThe paradox of poverty amidst plenty has plagued the United States throughout the 21st century--why should the wealthiest country in the world also have the highest rates of poverty among the industrialized nations? Based on his decades-long research and scholarship, one of the nation's leading authorities provides the answer. In The Poverty Paradox, Mark Robert Rank develops his unique perspective for understanding this puzzle.
Americans experiencing poverty tend to have certain characteristics placing them at a greater risk of impoverishment. Yet poverty results not from these factors, but rather from a lack of sufficient opportunities in society. In particular, the shortage of decent paying jobs and a strong safety net are paramount. Based upon this understanding, Rank goes on to detail a variety of strategies and programs to effectively alleviate poverty in the future. Implementing these policies has the added benefit of reinforcing several of the nation's most important values and principles.

Money games :the inside story of how American dealmakers saved Korea's most iconic bankby Shan, Weijian JOHN WILEY
Money Games is a riveting tale of one of the most successful buyout deals ever: the acquisition and turnaround of what used to be Korea's largest bank by the American firm Newbridge Capital.
Full of intrigue and suspense, this insider's account is told by the chief architect of the deal itself, the celebrated author and private equity investor Weijian Shan. With billions of dollars at stake, and the nation's economic future on the line, Newbridge Capital sought to become the first foreign firm in history to take control of one of Korea's most beloved financial institutions.
In the secret world of private equity, few buyouts have been written about with such clarity, detail, and insight―and none with such completeness, covering not only the dealmaking but also the transformation and eventual exit of the investment.

King—one of the few to warn ahead of time about the latest inflationary upheaval—identifies key lessons from the history of inflation that policy makers chose not to heed.

10x is easier than 2x :how world-class entrepreneurs achieve more by doing lessby Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy Hay House BusinessDan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think.
10X is not the outcome; it's a counterintuitive process you can apply every time you want exponential growth in your life and business. To make 10X possible, you must focus on expanding what Dan defines as your four most important freedoms—time, money, relationship, and purpose. 10X is fundamentally about quality vs quantity, and the quality of your freedoms determines the results you achieve.

Intended consequences :how to build market-leading companies with responsible innovationby Hemant Taneja with Kevin Maney McGraw HillWALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER
A pioneering venture capitalist provides an actionable framework for founders and executives to create innovative, enduring companies built for growth and for societal good.
The Milton Friedman philosophy that companies exist only to increase shareholder value is dead and buried. The old Silicon Valley tenets of “move fast and break things,” minimum viable products, and hyper engagement at any cost must be replaced with new principles for an era of responsible innovation. We can no longer manage businesses solely for growth. With innovation comes responsibility: to generate returns beyond profits and to recenter technology as a force for good in the world. This requires a shift in the way organizations approach and value work.

(美)克劳迪娅 戈尔丁, 劳伦斯 F. 卡茨 著; 贾拥民, 傅瑞蓉 译 格致出版社 : 上海三联书店 : 上海人民出版社
2023年诺贝尔经济学奖得主克劳迪娅·戈尔丁作品。
美国在20世纪实现了令世人瞩目的经济增长,成为全球经济霸主。与经济持续增长形成鲜明对比的,是美国贫富差距的大起大落。在20世纪前四分之三的时间里,美国的贫富差距持续缩小。但是从20世纪70年代开始,美国的经济不平等重新爆发,直至21世纪初。今天美国的贫富差距,重新又回到与20世纪初持平的程度。是什么造成了美国经济不平等在前后两个时期迥然不同的走势?
本书认为,技术变革与教育这两股力量的角逐,决定了经济体中贫富差距的走势。技术变革会提高对高技能劳动者的需求,提升他们的工资溢价;而教育则会增加对高技能劳动者的供给,降低他们的工资溢价。在技术变革与教育进步之间,存在着一种类似赛跑的关系,两者之间的相对领先和落后,决定着收入不平等的演变趋势。
(美)理查德 塞勒, 卡斯 桑斯坦 著; 姜智勇 译 中信出版社什么是我们一生中耗时最多、最费心力的事?是做出大大小小的决策。但是,我们往往深陷难以计数的偏见和非理性中,做出荒谬的判断。这本书要解决的就是这样一个核心问题:如何通过助推在不需要强迫的情况下巧妙地引导人们做出更理性的选择。
事实上,自《助推》十多年前首次出版以来,这个书名及其传达的思想就已经深入人心,并在商界人士、政策制定者、各类消费者以及每一个关心个人与社会的公民中引发一轮又一轮的热议与行动,在各个经济领域催生了无数行为科学家团体。《助推》终极版就是在这个背景下,两位作者重新思考、梳理、总结自己过去十多年在政府内外的经验,以及各类新学科、新研究成果,全新修订和撰写的终极版本,为我们日常生活中面临的各种各样的问题提供了丰富的新见解。
(澳)约翰 奎金 著; 张茜 译 九州出版社提高最低工资会造成失业?如果没有政府等外部干预,经济就不会衰退?市场是解决一切问题的万能灵药?这些都是已畅销70余年的名著《一课经济学》中的经典论断。然而现实并非如此。尤其在全球贫富差距不断扩大、衰退与萧条此起彼伏、失业率居高不下的当下,《一课经济学》的解释力受到了前所未有的挑战。诺贝尔经济学奖获得者保罗·萨缪尔森就说:“若有人鼓吹‘一课经济学’,我建议,回到第二课。”
在本书中,澳大利亚经济学巨擘约翰·奎金以极具穿透力的思想精彩地讲授这两堂课。他没有把目光局限在对理论的雕琢上,而是通过对经济运行现实的梳理和洞察,回答了市场如何运转、危机因何发生、失业从何而来、贫富差距如何弥合、宏观调控是否有效等经典经济问题。全书没有公式和计算,零基础的读者也可以通过本书轻松掌握经济学分析现实问题的思路,清醒认识世界的真相。

管理学家莱恩哈德·K. 斯普伦格结合自己的亲身经历和多年的实践经验颠覆性地提出,我们熟悉的员工激励之路其实是一条死胡同,所有脱离动机的激励都是无效的,管理者应该从员工的内在动机入手,赋予管理工具真正的意义。作者在书中介绍了共识管理、对话式领导、避免消极、重塑关系网、给予信任、发展人才、找到工作的意义、保护自由空间、维护自尊等管理工具,同时提供了一个简单而有效的薪酬管理体系,将动机神话映射到现实,旨在帮助企业和管理者提升企业的绩效。

哲学
真实与虚拟 :后真相时代的哲学金观涛 著 中信出版集团股份有限公司
知名学者、思想家金观涛新著,为后真相时代提供不会被科技进步颠覆的哲学。
真实性哲学的探索来自对现实问题的反思。真实性的丧失难以避免,其背后是现代社会价值基础的坍塌。在前著《消失的真实》中,作者从历史的角度讲述了这一问题出现的根源,而这本书将延续这一提问,试图寻找解决问题的方法。
作者认为,要找到这一方法,最根本的是要破除科学与人文割裂导致的现代人对科学发展的迷信与幻想,建立一种科学认识论的新框架。首先,要讲清楚“什么是现代科学”,它给我们带来了什么,又面临什么问题。其次,立足于此,从哲学的视角审视科学的各个领域,包括对元宇宙、人工智能等前沿科技进展的反思。最后,通过借鉴“科学真实”,直面“社会真实”与“个人真实”,寻找一种将科学、人文社会和艺术统一起来的理论。不同文明的超越视野,现代社会价值基础的重建,以及日新月异的科学发展,都将在这种崭新的哲学中获得理解。

Economics
by Fabio Terra Routledge
Widely recognized as one of the greatest economists in history, there has been a surge of interest in the work of John Maynard Keynes since the financial crisis of 2008 with people looking for solutions to rebalance the economy.
This book provides an introduction to Keynes’ thoughts on capitalism, the State, and macroeconomics. It starts with Keynes’ epistemological theory of his A Treatise on Probability (1921), from which aspects such as uncertainty and the decision-making process, both later important in his economic work, can be drawn. The book then pursues Keynes’ economic writings. From A Tract on the Monetary Reform (1923) and A Treatise on Money (1930), it shows Keynes’ pursuit of a full understanding of the role of money in the economy. Keynes masterfully demonstrated the knowledge he gained through his 1936 masterpiece The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. Going beyond Keynes’ classic, this book also explores his later work on economic policy prescriptions and finally his concept of State and economic development.
by Luis Suarez-Villa RoutledgeTechnology and Oligopoly Capitalism is a major contribution to our understanding of how technology oligopolies are shaping America’s social, economic, and political reality.
Technology and Oligopoly Capitalism’s critical, multidisciplinary perspective provides a systemic vision of how oligopolistic power shapes these forces and phenomena. An inclusive approach spans the spectrum of technology oligopolies and the ways in which they deploy their power. Numerous, previously unpublished ideas expand the repertory of established work on the topics covered, advancing explanatory quality―to elucidate how and why technology oligopolies operate as they do, the dysfunctions that accompany their power, and their effects on society and nature. This book has no peers in the literature, in its scope, the unprecedented amount and diversity of documentation, the breadth of concepts, and the vast number of examples it provides.

Finance
Scaling impact :finance and investment for a better worldby Kusisami Hornberger Palgrave Macmillan
The global challenges confronting us ― climate change, poverty, inequality, and many others ― can feel overwhelming. Those of us who believe in market-based solutions to these challenges get even more disheartened when we regularly see our existing capitalist system failing us, often causing more harm than good. Many examples show how the capitalist tools of finance and investment can and make real, positive impact. Approaches like blended finance and impact investing can help accelerate progress against the world’s biggest remaining collective challenges. How can we continue to make capitalism work better by scaling these approaches and others?
This book looks at how we can start making these necessary changes using strategies, structures, and practices that take advantage of capitalism's strengths. Its goal is to demonstrate how a reimagined financial system can be more inclusive and accountable to all. By shifting away from extractive, short-term practices in the name of shareholder primacy, we can move toward a system that values the role of all stakeholders.
Manias, panics, and crashes :a history of financial crisesby Robert Z. Aliber, Charles P. Kindleberger and Robert N. McCauley Palgrave MacmillanIn the Eighth Edition of this classic text on the financial history of bubbles and crashes, Robert McCauley joins with Robert Aliber in building on Charles Kindleberger's renowned work.
McCauley draws on his central banking experience to introduce new chapters on cryptocurrency and the United States as the 21st Century global lender of last resort. He also updates the book's coverage of the recent property bubble in China, as well as providing new perspectives on the US housing bubble of 2003-2006, and the Japanese bubble of the late 1980s. And he gives new attention to the social psychology that leads people to take the risk of investing in Ponzi schemes and asset price bubbles. For the first time in this revised and updated edition, figures highlight key points to ensure that today’s generation of finance and economic researchers, students, practitioners and policy-makers―as well as investors looking to avoid crashes―have access to this panoramic history of financial crisis.
Capital allocation :principles, strategies, and processes for creating long-term shareholder valueby David R. Giroux McGraw Hill EducationThe intelligent deployment of capital is one of the most effective ways to create long-term value. But despite this, there are very few capital allocation experts on the boards of the largest publicly traded companies, and academic research consistently finds that most firms deploy capital sub-optimally.
Capital Allocation aims to educate senior leaders, board members, investors, students, and anyone interested in business on this important topic. Until now very little has been written on capital allocation outside of academia, even though the strategic deployment of excess capital is an increasingly significant source of competitive advantage for many companies.

The experience mindset :changing the way you think about growthby Tiffani Bova Portfolio/PenguinIn the war for customer acquisition, businesses invest millions of dollars to improve customer experience. They deliver packages faster, churn out new products, and endlessly revamp their UI, often putting greater strain on employees for diminishing returns. According to Tiffani Bova, this siloed focus on customer experience – without considering the impact on your staff – actually hinders growth in the long run. The most successful companies adopt an Experience Mindset that strengthens both employee experience (EX) and customer experience (CX) at the same time.
Based on exclusive research from two Salesforce-sponsored studies of thousands of employees and c-suite executives, The Experience Mindset details exactly how your company can adopt an Experience Mindset, at scale. It’s not enough to know that happy employees equals happy customers. You must have an intentional, balanced approach to company strategy that involves all stakeholders – IT, Marketing, Sales, Operations, and HR – with KPIs and ownership over outcomes.For blood and money :billionaires, biotech, and the quest for a blockbuster drugby Nathan Vardi W.

by Stephen Wolfram Wolfram Media, Inc.

What's going on inside its "AI mind"? In this short book, prominent scientist and computation pioneer Stephen Wolfram provides a readable and engaging explanation that draws on his decades-long unique experience at the frontiers of science and technology.

Creators take control :how NFTs revolutionize art, business, and entertainmentby Edward Lee Harper BusinessIf you buy an NFT, do you own anything? Critics say no. Then why are people spending so much money to own them—to the tune of $27 billion in 2021? And why are big businesses and venture capital firms investing hundreds of millions to develop NFTs for people’s use in the metaverse, a purely imaginary world?
In Creators Take Control, Edward Lee offers a compelling new theory he calls “Tokenism” that answers these perplexing questions. Using vivid examples, Lee lucidly explains how NFTs operate—and how they fundamentally change our understanding of ownership. Tokenism is an artistic, cultural, and technological movement that creates value in a new kind of ownership of a new type of property—symbolized by a virtual token—through a process of technological abstraction and artificial scarcity effectuated by NFTs. Ownership becomes virtual. What Cubism did in radically changing the twentieth-century perspective of creating and viewing art through cubes, Tokenism does today in altering our perspective of owning art and other things through tokens. Both movements radically reimagine what’s possible.

Outlive :the science & art of longevityby Peter Attia with Bill Gifford Harmony
Wouldn’t you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health.
For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting.
This is not “biohacking,” it’s science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia’s aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual.

(美)詹姆斯 M. 布坎南 著; 刘志铭 译 广西师范大学出版社本书是诺贝尔经济学奖得主布坎南探究“成本”概念的小册子。篇幅虽小,但四两拨千斤,因为“成本”是经济分析的根基或起点,不同的概念可能走出截然不同的研究路径,得出不同的结论或政策含意。
布坎南指出成本概念的混乱是许多经济理论错误的根源,因此,他梳理了自亚当·斯密以来的成本理论史,强调了被遗忘的伦敦学派传统的主观成本说。他认为,机会成本作为一种现实中从未实现的替代选择,只存在于决策者的主观评价之中,并不存在可加以测度的“客观成本”。在后半部分,布坎南尝试将主观成本理论应用到公共品、税收、公债和非市场的决策上。他强调,该理论对于征兵和犯罪等热点话题,亦可有新的解释。
(美)黛布拉 萨茨 著; 尚义晗 译 浙江人民出版社泰坦尼克号正在沉没,你身在船上,购买的那张船票没有给你救生艇逃生的机会,望着头等舱的乘客涌向他们专属的救生艇,你是否感到义愤填膺?毕竟你踏上这艘号称永不沉没的巨轮,正是为了解决缺钱的问题。让我们推翻这些假设,现在你有大量的资产,购买一张头等舱船票对你来说毫不费劲,你也知道所谓永不沉没只是噱头,但鬼使神差地你还是买了张不带救生艇的船票。泰坦尼克号正在沉没,除了后悔你是否仍然觉得有一丝不公?你觉得,有一些最低限度的东西不应该用金钱来交换,而应该平等地甚至是强制地提供给每一个人。
从泰坦尼克号的思想实验出发,本书逐一探讨为何我们会愤怒于某些东西被标价和交易——童工、奴役、肾脏等。作者考察了古典经济学和当代经济学对此类市场的观点,综合了来自自由至上主义和平等自由主义哲学阵营的不同意见,在此之上对泰坦尼克号思想实验的条件一步步调整,考察条件改变之后我们是否仍觉得有问题,总结我们反感此类市场的深层理由:此类市场破坏了我们以平等者身份互动的能力,它们是有毒的。

重思社会科学研究 :不同的工具, 通用的标准(美)亨利 E. 布雷迪, 戴维 科利尔 主编; 韩永辉, 谭舒婷 译 格致出版社 : 上海人民出版社
本书对经典著作《社会科学中的研究设计》进行了深入的重思,探讨了政治学和社会科学领域的研究方法。全书共分为两大部分,第一部分聚焦于方法论上的争论,不仅包括对KKV所涉及问题的持续性争论以及对标准定量模板与日俱增的批判,还包括对定性和定量研究工具如何进一步完善因果推断的新观点。第二部分则聚焦于因果推断这一重要研究工具的讨论,包括过程追踪、因果过程观察以及基于回归的推断和基于事先设计的推断。此外,研究者对社会科学中自然实验的复杂假设和平衡取舍知之甚少,本书通过探索这些关键工具扩展了方法论视野。
(美)托马斯 索维尔 著; 夏维勇 译 民主与建设出版社战争、选举、犯罪、税收、贫困等政治和社会议题总能引起两派人针锋相对的论战。有心之人不难发现,同一派人在主题相距甚远的议题上也总会站在一起。其中原因为何?托马斯·索维尔认为,一切论争归根结底是两种截然不同的人性的观念的冲突。所以,对人性持有相同观念的人,无论身份、财富、价值排序相差多大,在论战中总会选择同一阵营。
观念的冲突是政治论争的根源,它深刻地影响了经济、司法、军事、哲学乃至政治决策,进而塑造了历史。本书不仅以全新的视角不加评判地梳理了西方近代政治思想史的脉络,更将观念的冲突与现实世界中引起热议的事件联系起来。读者可以以此书为思辨的契机重新整理思想史和历史事件,亦可学会在探讨现实问题时一举击穿本质。

政治
抵达 :一部政治演化史包刚升 著 上海三联书店
“人类政治从何而来?” “人类政治在哪里?” “人类政治向何处去?”
对于政治领域的关键三问,本书从演化论视角给出了回应。聚焦人类政治演化的基本脉络,本书将不同政体与政治模式视为一个个“政治物种”,分析早期国家诞生的社会条件,从国家分化与演化的维度阐述城邦国家、一般国家、帝国的兴起与衰落,从政体分化与演化的维度讨论君主政体、封建政体、立宪政体、民主政体的差异与转换,以及人类不同群体在塑造有效国家与有效约束国家上的一系列差异如何形塑了不同时空的政治模式。
如果将人类政治演化比喻为一条大河,那么理解这条大河过去的基本流向后,或许就会更加明了今天我们所处的位置以及未来要抵达的方向。

传记
顾宏义 著 广东人民出版社
赵匡胤生逢五代这一动荡分裂、“易君如骰棋”的极乱之世。他的家世平平无奇,年方及冠就为家庭生计,不得不离家求职,在历经长达一年半一无所获的流浪之后,终于被当时的后汉重臣、后来的后周太祖郭威收为帐下亲兵。以此为起点,他仅在约十年间就快速跃升为后周的高级将领,并于一举篡夺政权,成为叱咤风云、君临天下的开国皇帝,不仅南征北战、统一疆域,更通过收拢兵权、厘革官制、大兴文教、鼓励农商等手段稳定了宋初局势,奠定了绵延三百余年的赵宋王朝的基业。
本书既在陈桥兵变、金匮之盟与斧声烛影等宋初诸疑案上,有异于成说之新见,在宋太祖针对宋初乱局于政治、经济、文化、军事等各方面的政策上,亦深稽博考,融叙事与考辨一体,全面地展示了一位与“秦皇”“汉武”“唐宗”比肩的千古一帝的个人形象与千秋功业,更借赵匡胤的传奇一生,重现了五代末至宋初的历史风云。
为了国家, 不惜一切 :本-古里安传(以色列)汤姆 塞格夫 著; 李栋, 单凌 译 浙江人民出版社以色列不能没有本-古里安,就像西方不能失去耶路撒冷。犹太民族将乌托邦式的复国梦变为现实,这一切都与这个名字紧密相联。在以色列著名历史学家塞格夫笔下,本-古里安既承载着同国家荣辱与共的非凡故事,又隐藏着杀伐决断、忧郁多情的矛盾人性。
塞格夫以时间为线,用鸿篇巨制展现了现代以色列之父本-古里安一生的起伏沉沦——他发动巴勒斯坦本地犹太劳工,壮大犹太复国主义力量;他拒绝二战后的分治和托管,为了建国不惜将血肉之躯送上战场;他向德国索要巨额赔款,吸引犹太移民,为新生的以色列提供充盈的养分……塞格夫的精彩叙事、丰富细节,刻画出本-古里安软硬兼施的政治手腕和复杂多变的性格,也投射出20世纪诡谲云涌的世界格局。这不仅是一部关于本-古里安的个人传记,更是一部踩在巨人肩上的以色列国缔造史。
奥本海默传 :美国"原子弹之父"的胜利与悲剧(美)凯 伯德, 马丁 J. 舍温 著; 汪冰 译; 方在庆 审校 中信出版社本书是关于“原子弹之父”罗伯特·奥本海默的最为完整的一部传记,也是克里斯托弗·诺兰执导的电影《奥本海默》的灵感来源。奥本海默是美籍犹太裔物理学家,曾被三次提名诺贝尔奖。他是美国的普罗米修斯,在他的带领下,科学家们为自己的国家从自然手中夺取了令人惊叹的太阳之火。在这之后,他不仅睿智地申明了核弹的危害,也充满希望地提及了核能的潜在益处。奥本海默成为同代人中最著名的科学家,同时也是20世纪最具争议性的人物之一。奥本海默成为“原子弹之父”并非偶然,他在一种重视独立探究、实验探索和自由思考的文化氛围中长大,这种文化体现的正是科学的价值观。
在本书长达25年的写作过程中,作者参考了成千上万份文献记录,它们来自国内外的档案资料和个人收藏。本书还参考了国会图书馆中奥本海默自己留存的大量文件,以及联邦调查局在超过25年的对奥本海默的监视活动中积累的数千页记录,作者还采访了奥本海默的近百名密友、亲人和同事。

Un-civilizing America :how win-win deals make us betterby William Bonner WileyIn Un-Civilizing America – How Win-Win Deals Made Us Rich, bestselling author William Bonner delivers an incisive and engrossing account of the American economy, the four simple steps to earning money the honest way, and why many choose the dishonest way instead. He also discusses the shadow groups that influence America behind the scenes and how their power grew so large they lost the need to remain hidden, and what really drives the government’s phony wars―including the War on Drugs and the US-China trade war.
In the book, you’ll learn why the best kinds of economies run on “win-win” deals and how companies and individuals use market-set prices to maximize their utility.
Europe and Central Asia Economic Update, Fall 2023:Sluggish Growth, Rising Risksby Ivailo Izvorski, Sergiy Kasyanenko, Dorothe Singer, and Hrisyana Doytchinova World BankEconomic growth for the emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) of the Europe and Central Asia region has been revised up to 2.4% for 2023. The pickup in growth reflects improved forecast for war-hit Ukraine and for Central Asia as well as consumer resiliency in Türkiye and better-than-expected growth in Russia because of a surge in government spending on the military and social transfers. Nevertheless, growth remains weak relative to the long-term pre-pandemic averages. Downside risks cloud the outlook for the 23 EMDEs in Europe and Central Asia. High inflation may persist amid heightened volatility in global commodity markets and a surge in energy prices. Global financial markets may become more volatile and restrictive due to tightening financing conditions. Global growth for 2020-2024 is the weakest than during any five-year period since 1990 and may weaken further.

Better money :gold, fiat, or Bitcoin?by Lawrence H. White Cambridge University Press
The recent rise of dollar, pound, and euro inflation rates has rekindled the debate over potential alternative monies, particularly gold and Bitcoin. Though Bitcoin has been much discussed in recent years, a basic understanding of how it and gold would work as monetary standards is rare. Accessibly written by a pioneering economist, Better Money explains and evaluates gold, fiat, and Bitcoin standards without hype.
White uses simple supply-and-demand analysis to explain how these standards work, evaluating their relative merits and explaining their response to shocks, allowing for informed comparisons between them. This book addresses common misunderstandings of the gold standard and Bitcoin, using historical evidence to review the history of money with emphasis on the contest between market and government provision.

Management
Solid Growth :Strategies of Industrial Champions in Global Marketsby Olaf Plötner, Johannes Habel and Bianca Schmitz World Scientific Publishing
This book examines global strategies for industrial champions. In particular, it highlights three categories of supply in industrial markets: premium products, low-price products, and complex digital solutions. The authors identify opportunities for creating synergies between these three strategies and address the overarching question: How can the company of the future be organized?
The imperfectionists :strategic mindsets for uncertain timesby Robert McLean and Charles Conn WileyThe world is changing faster and faster, with increasing uncertainty and threat of disruption in every business and nonprofit segment. Conventional approaches to strategy development and problem solving no longer work―there is no stable industry or market equilibrium structure that we will return to “when change abates.” Most company planning processes are fantasy; market conditions are changing too quickly for arm-chair strategizing to be useful. As a consequence, many management teams are stuck in a wait-and-see posture in response to extreme uncertainty in the post-Covid environment, while others are making panicky bets, including ‘leap before you look’ acquisitions.
In this sequel to their Amazon-bestseller, Bulletproof Problem Solving, Conn and McLean introduce a novel approach to strategic problem solving. Based on a decade of research and 30 new case studies, The Imperfectionists posits a dynamic approach to developing organizational direction under uncertainty based on harnessing six reinforcing strategic mindsets, which they call curiosity, dragonfly eye, occurrent behaviour, collective wisdom, imperfectionism, and show and tell.
Business model innovation:strategic and organizational issues for established firmsby Constantinos Markides Cambridge University PressDigital technologies have allowed for the proliferation of new business models, something that has attracted the attention of academic research. Much of this research has focused on (i) understanding what a business model is and its theoretical connection to the concept of strategy, and (ii) exploring what business model innovation is and what its sources and outcomes are. Less work has gone into studying the issues that established firms face in business model innovation – such as how to respond to the arrival of a disruptive business model in one's industry, or how to compete with dual business models or how to migrate from one business model to another.
This Element approaches the topic of business model innovation from the perspective of the established firm and examines the unique strategic and organizational issues that big, established companies face when a new business model enters their markets.
by Wai Fong Boh and Thara Ranvindran World Scientific PublishingIf you are an aspiring entrepreneur or a newly initiated one trying to figure out the path to traverse in the course of an uncertain entrepreneurial journey, then this book is for you. If you are a manager looking to innovate and improve your offerings, you will likely find some useful tips in this book.
This book aims to guide entrepreneurs and managers on how to go about identifying business opportunities through innovation. It presents lessons and insights gleaned from original research, conducted amongst hundreds of global entrepreneurs, that explored how they went about identifying business opportunities and developing effective business strategies. Besides appropriate business examples from around the world that illustrate some important principles of ideation and execution, we also discuss how companies transform themselves in the face of challenges and difficulties.
Making wise decisions in a smart world :responsible leadership in an era of artificial intelligenceby Peter Verhezen World Scientific PublishingGood and smart decisions should be distinguished from wise decision-making — especially in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) where algorithms are increasingly used to automate business processes or to augment the accuracy and speed of decisions. This book argues why specific forms of intelligence as well as consciousness and enhanced conscience are crucial to make wise decisions — with consciousness to be clearly distinguished from intelligence.
It also addresses why machine learning and smart computers (AI) are plausibly able to make "smart" (and thus to a certain extent "intelligent") decisions but definitely unable to help us to become wiser. In essence, optimizing a desired output in a business context will require a balanced approach with cognitive awareness and ethical reflection — synthesizing intuitive and algorithmic thinking — encompassing short-term profit and longer-term envisioning, and aiming to optimize created and captured value for shareholders while taking the concerns of those who have a real stake in the organization seriously.

It also features examples of hot topics such as agile, sustainability and digital transformation.The case for good jobs :how great companies bring dignity, pay & meaning to everyone's workby Zeynep Ton Harvard Business Review PressWorkers want good jobs, and many leaders want to provide them. But they don't think they can offer higher pay and more motivating work without hurting the bottom line. Most business leaders want to win with customers, but their companies are hobbled by a host of service and operational problems largely driven by high employee turnover—turnover that's partly driven by low pay.
It is indeed a vicious cycle, and Zeynep Ton is here to show you the way out: why good jobs combined with strong operations lead to higher productivity and increased competitiveness for the business. And why, more than ever, in a world with tight labor markets, failing to provide good jobs will catch up with you and threaten your business. As the leading scholar on good jobs and president of the Good Jobs Institute, Ton has helped executives at many companies implement a good jobs system.

经济
赶超的逻辑 :文化, 制度与中国的崛起朱天 著; 孟涛 译 北京大学出版社
作者朱天是中欧国际工商学院经济学教授、桑坦德经济学教席教授。
过去四十多年来的经济高速增长彻底改变了中国的经济面貌。哪些因素导致了中国经济的高速增长?对此,国内外有很多不同的解释,如丰富的廉价劳动力、人口红利、特殊的政治经济体制和产业政策、出口导向型的经济模式等等。
本书提出,真正的“中国增长之谜”不是中国的经济增长为什么比发达国家快很多,而是为什么比其他发展中国家快很多。基于翔实的数据和全球比较分析,作者分析并反驳了几种流行的解释,提出中国的崛起是东亚经济增长奇迹的一部分,而造成中国与其他发展中国家之间差异化表现的主要因素,是文化因素,即儒家文化所倡导的对储蓄和教育的重视。
本书不仅有助于澄清公众关于中国经济增长的一些常见误解,帮助其理解中国经济过去增长的原因,也有利于预判中国经济未来增长的前景,分析中国在后疫情时代赶超美国等发达国家的可能性和路径。
龙登高 著 东方出版社21世纪的今天,以市场经济的历史视野去反思,可望更好地把握历史渊源流变与长期趋势。
人类认识市场经历了漫长的岁月,人类在与市场的博弈中不断进步,但至今不能得心应手地驾驭它。如何深入地认识和把握市场,从源头上,从其历史演进过程中,从其变化发展和不同时代的阶段性特征中,本书希望提供一个视角,或者一把钥匙,或者一些思维。从本书中我们可以发现,无论是商品市场,还是土地、劳动力等要素市场,在传统中国都有独特的发展,与同时期的西欧相比具有明显的特点。传统商业与市场具有活力,民间经济时有创新,世界最早的纸币就是民间创新的商业成果,晋商、徽商的经营创新呈现现代性。

文明的抉择 :金融资本主义, 工业资本主义还是社会资本主义(美)迈克尔 赫德森 著; 黄钰书, 宋玮 译 东方出版社本书作者迈克尔·赫德森因债务与货币史研究享誉学术界,受大卫·格雷伯等多位经济学家推崇。早在1968年赫德森教授就预见到美国将不得不让美元与黄金脱钩:2006年,他在论文中通过揭示信贷指数级扩张产生相应债务,准确预测2008年全球经济的崩盘。对于资本主义引发的全球危机,赫德森教授提出“无法偿还的债务应该被取消”,唯有如此才能避免债务通缩贫富分化导致的文明崩溃。
在本书中,赫德森教授将关注点聚焦于工业资本主义和现代金融资本主义之间的区别,他一针见血地指出,在现代金融体系中崛起的新食租群体一一金融寡头在坐享经济租特权的同时也将实体经济拖入了债务通缩的泥潭。这种金融化的进程不仅威胁着美国和西方,也威胁着全世界如何避免,是本书讨论的重要内容,也是本书的价值所在。

心理学
(美)史蒂芬 平克 著; 简学, 简丁丁 译 浙江教育出版社
今天,人类正在攀登科学理解的新高度,但是似乎也正在失去理智。假新闻、江湖郎中、阴谋论和“后真相”仍无处不在。我们该如何弄清哪些是真知灼见,哪些是歪理邪说呢?当代思想家史蒂芬·平克在本书中回答了所有关于理性的问题。平克否定了“人类是非理性的,人类仅仅是充满了偏见、谬误和错觉的穴居人”这一陈词滥调。毕竟,人类发现了自然规律、延长了自身的寿命并丰富了自己的生命,而且为理性本身设定了基准。
理性很重要。它为我们的个人生活和公共领域带来更好的选择,是社会正义和道德进步的终驱动力。对于个体来说,来自生活中的证据表明,推理能力越强的人,生活的越好;对于群体来说,理性是引导道德与物质进步的力量。没有理性,人类的进步就无从谈起。

科学
(比)托马斯 赫托格 著; 邱涛涛 译 中信出版社
霍金在生前发表的最后一篇论文中提出了自上而下的新宇宙学,颠覆了他在《时间简史》中提出的关于时间起源的观点,本书作者托马斯·赫托格正是这篇论文的合著者。在这篇刊登在《高能物理学杂志》上的文章中,他们认为多元宇宙并没有那么多,宇宙的演化在整体上是平滑而有限的。
霍金在他非凡的一生中试图回答,宇宙是如何创造出如此完美且适宜生命生存的环境的?为了解开这个谜团,霍金研究了宇宙的大爆炸起源,但他的早期工作遇到了危机,因为他的数学预测结果显示,在可能产生的所有宇宙中,占最大比例的宇宙种类是无法孕育出生命的。
霍金和托马斯·赫托格对这个问题研究了20年,终于在霍金生命的最后阶段,他们发展出了一种新的可以解释生命的起源的宇宙理论。他们凝视着宇宙全息图,探寻其中的量子力学秘密,惊讶地发现了一个更深层次的进化,在这个进化中,物理定律变得更简单,粒子、力甚至时间本身都消失了。这一发现使他们产生了一个革命性的想法:物理定律并不是一成不变的,而是随着它们所统治的宇宙的形成而诞生和共同进化的。该理论针对宇宙的起源提出了一种激进的新达尔文主义观点。

Economics
Career & family :women's century-long journey toward equityby Claudia Goldin Princeton University Press
Winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics
Drawing on decades of her own groundbreaking research, Claudia Goldin provides a fresh, in-depth look at the diverse experiences of college-educated women from the 1900s to today, examining the aspirations they formed—and the barriers they faced—in terms of career, job, marriage, and children. She shows how many professions are “greedy,” paying disproportionately more for long hours and weekend work, and how this perpetuates disparities between women and men. Goldin demonstrates how the era of COVID-19 has severely hindered women’s advancement, yet how the growth of remote and flexible work may be the pandemic’s silver lining.
Antidiscrimination laws and unbiased managers, while valuable, are not enough. Career and Family explains why we must make fundamental changes to the way we work and how we value caregiving if we are ever to achieve gender equality and couple equity.Billionaires' Row :tycoons, high rollers, and the epic race to build the world's most exclusive skyscrapersby Katherine Clarke CurrencyLonglisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award
In Billionaires’ Row, Katherine Clarke reveals the captivating story of how, in just a few years, the ruthless real-estate impresarios behind these “supertalls” lining 57th Street turned what was once a run-down strip of Midtown into the most exclusive street on Earth, as legendary Trump-era veterans went toe-to-toe with hungry upstart developers in an ego-fueled “race to the sky.” Based on far-reaching access to real estate’s power players, Clarke’s account brings readers inside one of the world’s most cutthroat industries, showing how a combination of ferocious ambition and relentless salesmanship has created a new market of $100 million apartments for the world’s one-percenters—units to live in or, sometimes, just places to stash their cash.
The Chinese way :overcoming challenges for a shared futureby Fabio Massimo Parenti World ScientificThe book aims to communicate to readers in a clear, fluent, and well-documented fashion the new role that China plays in the geography of world power, evaluating its weight, influence, and impact on future developments. China's ambition and its vision of international affairs can be summed up in Beijing's desire to "build a community of common destiny for mankind". Behind this concept lies the desire to present itself as a peaceful nation, interested in a common global development in full compliance with the principles embraced by the United Nations — to be achieved through win-win relationships, capable of bringing mutual benefits to the actors engaged in international cooperation.
China has experienced extraordinary growth in recent decades and intends to continue carving out the space it deserves in various international fora. According to the author, this does not necessarily represent a "threat" — as its Western detractors contend — given the People's Republic's intention to achieve its goals through mutual respect, spatial interconnection, and long-term productive investments.

Going Infinite :The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoonby Michael Lewis W. W. Norton & Company
One of the New Yorker's Best Books of 2023
When Michael Lewis first met him, Sam Bankman-Fried was the world’s youngest billionaire and crypto’s Gatsby. CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically overnight, onto the Forbes billionaire list. Who was this rumpled guy in cargo shorts and limp white socks, whose eyes twitched across Zoom meetings as he played video games on the side?
In Going Infinite Lewis sets out to answer this question, taking readers into the mind of Bankman-Fried, whose rise and fall offers an education in high-frequency trading, cryptocurrencies, philanthropy, bankruptcy, and the justice system. Both psychological portrait and financial roller-coaster ride, Going Infinite is Michael Lewis at the top of his game, tracing the mind-bending trajectory of a character who never liked the rules and was allowed to live by his own―until it all came undone.
The ruble :a political historyby Ekaterina Pravilova Oxford University PressA groundbreaking history of Russia, from empire to the Soviet era, viewed through the lens of its money.
The Russian ruble did not enjoy a particularly reputable place among European currencies. Across two hundred years, long periods of financial turmoil were followed by energetic and pragmatic reforms that invariably ended with another collapse. Why did a country with an industrializing economy, solid private property rights, and (until 1918) a near perfect reputation as a rock-solid repayer of its debts stick for such a prolonged period with an inconvertible currency? Why did the Russian gold standard differ from the European model? In answering these questions, Ekaterina Pravilova argues that politics and culture must be considered alongside economic factors. The history of the Russian ruble offers an opportunity to explore the political reasons behind the preservation of a supposedly backward financial system and to show how politicians used monetary reforms to block or enact political transformations.

They could help us crack the biological processes that generate natural, cheap fertilizer and enable us to feed the world’s growing populations. And they could unravel the fiendishly difficult protein folding that lies at the heart of previously incurable diseases like Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s, helping us to live longer, healthier lives. There is not a single problem humanity faces that couldn’t be addressed by quantum computing.
Told with Kaku’s signature clarity and enthusiasm, Quantum Supremacy is the story of this exciting frontier and the race to claim humanity’s future.

A Best Book of the Year: Economist, Financial Times, CEO Magazine.
We are approaching a critical threshold in the history of our species. Everything is about to change.
Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organise your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy. None of us are prepared.
As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.
In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side, the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other.
