Economics in Two Lessons : Why Markets Work So Well, and Why They Can Fail So Badly / John QUIGGIN / Princeton University Press (2019)
Titre : Economics in Two Lessons : Why Markets Work So Well, and Why They Can Fail So Badly Type de document : e-book Auteurs : John QUIGGIN Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2019 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780691154947 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : A masterful introduction to the key ideas behind the successes?and failures?of free-market economics Since 1946, Henry Hazlitt's bestselling Economics in One Lesson has popularized the belief that economics can be boiled down to one simple lesson: market prices represent the true cost of everything. But one-lesson economics tells only half the story. It can explain why markets often work so well, but it can't explain why they often fail so badly?or what we should do when they stumble. As Nobel Prize?winning economist Paul Samuelson quipped, ?When someone preaches ?Economics in one lesson,' I advise: Go back for the second lesson.? In Economics in Two Lessons, John Quiggin teaches both lessons, offering a masterful introduction to the key ideas behind the successes?and failures?of free markets. Economics in Two Lessons explains why market prices often fail to reflect the full cost of our choices to society as a whole. For example, every time we drive a car, fly in a plane, or flick a light switch, we contribute to global warming. But, in the absence of a price on carbon emissions, the costs of our actions are borne by everyone else. In such cases, government action is needed to achieve better outcomes. Two-lesson economics means giving up the dogmatism of laissez-faire as well as the reflexive assumption that any economic problem can be solved by government action, since the right answer often involves a mixture of market forces and government policy. But the payoff is huge: understanding how markets actually work?and what to do when they don't. Brilliantly accessible, Economics in Two Lessons unlocks the essential issues at the heart of any economic question.

Titre : Hacking Diversity : The Politics of Inclusion in Open Technology Cultures Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Christina DUNBAR-HESTER Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2019 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780691182070 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : A firsthand look at efforts to improve diversity in software and hackerspace communitiesHacking, as a mode of technical and cultural production, is commonly celebrated for its extraordinary freedoms of creation and circulation. Yet surprisingly few women participate in it: rates of involvement by technologically skilled women are drastically lower in hacking communities than in industry and academia. Hacking Diversity investigates the activists engaged in free and open-source software to understand why, despite their efforts, they fail to achieve the diversity that their ideals support.Christina Dunbar-Hester shows that within this well-meaning volunteer world, beyond the sway of human resource departments and equal opportunity legislation, members of underrepresented groups face unique challenges. She brings together more than five years of firsthand research: attending software conferences and training events, working on message boards and listservs, and frequenting North American hackerspaces. She explores who participates in voluntaristic technology cultures, to what ends, and with what consequences. Digging deep into the fundamental assumptions underpinning STEM-oriented societies, Dunbar-Hester demonstrates that while the preferred solutions of tech enthusiasts—their “hacks” of projects and cultures—can ameliorate some of the “bugs” within their own communities, these methods come up short for issues of unequal social and economic power. Distributing “diversity” in technical production is not equal to generating justice.Hacking Diversity reframes questions of diversity advocacy to consider what interventions might appropriately broaden inclusion and participation in the hacking world and beyond.
