		&lt;p&gt;  Includes bibliographical references and index.   &amp;quot;In the decades preceding COVID-19 there were nine pandemics or near-pandemics, from SARS to Ebola. Despite this turbulent recent history, many governments were unprepared for the recent pandemic and remain ill-equipped for the next. Our impact on future generations has never been greater, and the challenges we face will increasingly play out over the long term. Climate change is accelerating, antibiotic resistance is rising, underground aquifers are depleting, natural disasters catch us off guard, fish stocks are dwindling, and automation and population aging may transform our economies. Drawing on insights from behavioural science, Future-Generation Government offers a fresh perspective on short-termism and proposes clear, practical reforms that can help leaders respond to tomorrow&amp;apos;s challenges without compromising today&amp;apos;s democratic rights and freedoms. People value the present over the future, research shows, so governments balance the scales by rewarding future-planning behaviours: granting tax deductions for retirement savings, for example. Future-Generation Government explains how individuals, in turn, should reward our governments for making durable policy decisions that anticipate future crises&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Under the influence of big data and artificial intelligence, some democracies are being transformed, for better or worse, as relations between citizens, political parties, governments, and corporations are being redrawn. Artificial Democracy explores the ways in which data collection and analytics, and their application, are changing political practices, government policies, and even democratic parties themselves. With an international roster of multidisciplinary contributors, this highly topical collection takes a comprehensive approach to big data&amp;apos;s effects on democracy, from the use of microtargeting in electoral campaigns to the clash between privacy and surveillance in the name of protecting society. Artificial Democracy tackles both the dangers and the potentially desirable changes made possible by the symbiosis of big data and artificial intelligence. It explores shifts in how we conceptualize the citizen-government relationship and asks important questions about where we could be heading&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Making large investments -- 6. Living with risk -- 7. Securing retirement -- Part III. The solution : fixing personal finance. 8. The promise and peril of technology -- 9. Shove! -- 10. We can do better.  &amp;quot;We interact with the financial system every day, whether taking out or paying off loans, making insurance claims, or simply depositing money into our bank accounts. Fixed exposes how this system has been corrupted to serve the interests of financial services providers and their cleverest customers--at the expenses of ordinary people. John Campbell and Tarun Ramadorai diagnose the ills of today&amp;apos;s personal finance markets in the United States and across the globe, looking at everything from short-term saving and borrowing to loans for education and housing, financial products for retirement, and insurance. They show how the system is &amp;quot;fixed&amp;quot; to benefit those who are wealthy and more educated while encouraging financial mistakes by those who aren&amp;apos;t, making it difficult for regular consumers to make sound financial decisions and disadvantaging them in some of the more consequential economic transactions of their lives. Campbell and Ramadorai describe how some even opt out of the financial system altogether, relying on unregulated and often shady mechanisms to implement necessary financial functions, with dire consequences for individuals, families, and the economy more broadly. With the explosive growth of the global middle class, longer lifespans, and greater numbers of seniors managing their money alone, the pitfalls of personal finance now affect billions of people around the world. Fix proposes concrete solutions that harness the expertise of economists, the power of government, and the speed of technology to restore fairness and trust in our broken system and make it work for ordinary people&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

		&lt;p&gt;  Inclues bibliographical references and index.   &amp;quot;Written especially for the public sector but applicable far beyond it, The Three Pillars of Public Management offers government managers insights that, for the first time, speak directly to their situation. Unlike other management books that promote fads and private-sector models or focus on politics, policy, and government-wide reforms, this book offers tangible suggestions to improve public service agencies or individual work sites. Proving that public service excellence is not an oxymoron but an achievable reality, The Three Pillars of Public Management provides a framework, based on the experiences of senior managers and a survey of top-performing public service organizations around the world, for building and sustaining effective public service organizations. The authors find that success in serving the public rests on three pillars: the aim, or mission, of the organization; the character of the people and the institution; and the tools available to achieve the aim. The Three Pillars of Public Management is an important resource for practitioners at all levels of public service, from central agencies and top national departments, to regional, state, or provincial governments and municipalities. With an easy-to-read style, inspiring examples, and a checklist of questions at the end of each chapter the book is a valuable tool for improving the public sector workplace and helping public servants to make a difference&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Veteran facilitator Larry Sressler has found that what makes the crucial difference in these situations is the leader&amp;apos;s presence. You have to master a way of being that allows you to remain effective no matter how hot things get. Dressler shows how to cultivate six &amp;quot;stances&amp;quot;--mental, emotional, and physical--that will keep you steady, impartial, purposeful, compassionate, and good-humored. Drawing on his own experiences and the insights of thirty-five distinguished practitioners, he helps you to keep your cool and make the kind of inventive, split-second decisions these pressure-cooker situations demand&amp;quot;--Back cover. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

	&lt;td&gt;&#xD;
		&lt;p&gt;  Second printing, and first paperback, with a new afterword by the author, 2017.   &amp;quot;In The Curse of Cash, acclaimed economist and bestselling author Kenneth Rogoff explores the past, present, and future of currency, showing why, contrary to conventional economic wisdom, the regulation of paper bills--and now digital currencies--lies at the heart of some of the world&amp;apos;s most difficult problems, but also their potential solutions. When it comes to currency, history shows that the private sector often innovates but eventually the government regulates and appropriates. Using examples ranging from the history of standardized coinage to the development of paper money, Rogoff explains why the cryptocurrency boom will inevitably end with dominant digital currencies created and controlled by governments, regardless of what Bitcoin libertarians want. Advanced countries still urgently need to stem the global flood of large paper bills--the vast majority of which serve no legitimate purpose and only enable tax evasion and other crimes--but cryptocurrencies are like $100 bills on steroids. The Curse of Cash is filled with riveting insights of the most pressing issues facing monetary policymakers, from quantitative easing to alternative inflation targeting regimes. It also explains in detail why, if low interest rates persist, the best way to reinvigorate monetary policy is to implement fully effective and unconstrained negative interest rates. Provocative, engaging, and backed by compelling original arguments and evidence, The Curse of Cash as sparked widespread debate and its ideas have moved to the center of financial and policy discussions&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Peak dollar dominance.  &amp;quot;Our Dollar, Your Problem argues that America&amp;apos;s currency might not have reached today&amp;apos;s lofty pinnacle without a certain amount of good luck. Drawing in part on his own experiences, including with policymakers and world leaders, Kenneth Rogoff animates the remarkable postwar run of the dollar--how it beat out the Japanese yuan, the end of reliably low inflation and interest rates, political instability, and the fracturing of the dollar bloc. Americans cannot take for granted that the Pax Dollar era will last indefinitely, not only because many countries are deeply frustrated with the system, but also because overconfidence and arrogance can lead to unforced errors. Rogoff shows how America&amp;apos;s outsized power and exorbitant privilege can spur financial instability--not just abroad but also at home&amp;quot;--Book jacket. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

		&lt;p&gt;     &amp;quot;In 2009, Simon Sinek ignited a movement to help people find a greater sense of purpose at work and added a new word to the lexicon of business: why. People and companies now regularly talk about their why. Sinek&amp;apos;s videos have been seen by over a billion people around the world, including more than 65 million who&amp;apos;ve watched his TED talk based on Start With Why. Sinek starts with a fundamental question: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? Start With Why shows that leaders who&amp;apos;ve had the greatest influence in the world all think, act, and communication the same way--and it&amp;apos;s the opposite of what everyone else does. People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common but they inspired people not with what they did... but why they did it. Sinek provides a new, easy to understand framework that inspires people to build organizations and lead movements in a more powerful and effective way. And it all starts with why&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher . &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

But a veneer of high-class service disguised a darker, much dirtier reality. From its sterile Zurich headquarters, Credit Suisse banked dictators and drug dealers, hid stolen Nazi gold, and helped corrupt bankers fleece the firm&amp;apos;s own clients of billions of dollars. Its top executives oversaw a global operation that laundered money for autocrats; they hired spies to track one another through the cobbled streets of the Swiss financial capital; and they helped clients hide their money from the world&amp;apos;s tax authorities. This is the story of a tawdry total meltdown of one of the biggest, most influential, and most scandal-ridden banks on the planet. Duncan Mavin is uniquely sourced to tell the story of Credit Suisse&amp;apos;s scandal-ridden demise, with dozens of inside-the-room contacts that spill exclusive details about the bank onto these pages. The bank&amp;apos;s collapse, in March of last year, was the biggest shock to the financial system since the Financial Crisis of 2008, and sparked a media frenzy. But only Duncan has had access to key sources within the bank&amp;apos;s executive suite--including former CEOs--and the inner circle that brings this critical, rollicking story to life&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

		&lt;p&gt;  Includes bibliographical references and index.   &amp;quot;The Routledge Handbook of Housing Economics brings together an international panel of contributors to present a comprehensive overview of this important field within economics. Housing occupies an increasingly central role in modern society, dominating consumer assets and spending, forming an important part of social policy, and being a large enough market to impact the macroeconomy. This Handbook tackles these themes, along with other critical issues such as intergenerational housing inequality and the efficiency and social justice of housing interventions. This volume is structured in four main parts. It starts with eight chapters on microeconomics and housing. This is followed by two shorter sections on macroeconomics and finance. The final main part of the book is concerned with eight chapters on policy dimensions. While many of the chapters are rooted in mainstream economics and finance applied to housing, there are also chapters stressing institutional, behavioural and political economy orientations, as well as those that explicitly challenge more mainstream accounts. The contributing authors are based in Europe, North America and Australia and all draw in international literature to provide state of the art reviews of their topics. This carefully curated Handbook will be essential reading for advanced students, researchers and policy makers in housing economics, urban economics, urban planning, public economics, and real estate economics and finance&amp;quot;-- Provided by publisher. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

It takes a perspective to anticipate where these challenges lie. Wherever appropriate, the book further examines these matters in the Indian context. Anticipating that central banks will be dealing with the after-effects of &amp;quot;do what it takes&amp;quot; monetary policy adopted during and after the financial crisis brought about by the pandemic, the book explores through its eleven chapters topics such as--a balanced assessment of risk management with a particular focus on Basel III; a discussion on large technology, digital finance, and digital insurance; climate change and its attendant risks; cyber-crime; cryptocurrencies; impact of pandemic, bankruptcy, and so on. The book is aimed at banks, staff, regulators, and accountancy firms as well as at graduate students and post-graduate students specializing in economics, commerce, finance, and management&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Introduction -- Why create another development bank? -- Creating and designing the AIIB -- Environmental and social framework -- AIIB in a broader multilateral development finance context -- Reflections and conclusions.  &amp;quot;In 2016 the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) opened its doors as China&amp;apos;s first major foray in creating and leading an international organization with global membership. All major donor countries joined, with the exception of the United States and Japan. Today the AIIB is a medium-sized multilateral development bank (MDB) with a global membership second only to that of the World Bank. This book explains the complexity of the AIIB: a liberal international organization designed by a group of state and MDB experts to reflect the existing norms and rules of development banking while, at the same time, it is the creation of an illiberal state that interacts with the existing order in ways that often contradict those norms and rules. Gutner argues that the AIIB is largely cut from the same cloth as other MDBs and faces similar challenges and criticism. However, a growing contradiction between conflicting Chinese institutional strategies risks turning the AIIB into the Potemkin village of China&amp;apos;s international development and regional governance strategies--a showcase of actions that follow global norms of development banking, within a larger landscape of institutions that do not. The book advances our understanding of how institutional division takes place in the system of MDBs and is a reminder of the importance of a nuanced approach to understanding China&amp;apos;s institutional strategies&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Introduction -- Part 1: Public finance in Canadian society -- The size and composition of Canadian public-sector budgets -- Canadian federalism -- Canadian budget-making authorities -- Part 2: Budget preparation -- Setting the agenda for budget actions -- Formulation of the fiscal framework -- Part 3: The budget vote -- Parliamentary rules -- The parliamentary calendar -- Part 4: Budget implementation -- The budgetary management system -- Optimization of budgetary resources -- Part 5: Budgetary control -- Internal auditing and evaluation mechanisms -- External budgetary audit and evaluation mechanisms -- Conclusion .  &amp;quot;Broken down into five sections explaining how public budgets are developed, Canadian Public Finance presents a comprehensive account of the budget process of the federal, provincial, and territorial governments. With a specific focus on the public policy process, Geneviève Tellier walks readers through the five steps involved in the budget process including agenda-setting, formulation, adoption, implementation, and evaluation. Taking a close look at how much influence key decision-makers actually have over the budget process, Tellier highlights recent events that reveal the political, social, and economic constraints that impact budgetary decisions. Tellier uses key words and textboxes at the end of each chapter to reflect on current issues and new developments in the world of public finance, such as gender-sensitive budgets, performance-based budgeting, and fiscal transparency&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

		&lt;p&gt;     &amp;quot;A captivating and inspiring memoir by Canada&amp;apos;s first man in space. On October 5, 1984, Marc Garneau made history. Blasting off from the Kennedy Space Center aboard the U.S. Space Shuttle and reaching a speed of 28,000 km/hour, he became the first Canadian to fly to outer space. That monumental achievement, now etched in Canadian history as one of our country&amp;apos;s proudest moments, inspired a nation and ushered in a new era of space exploration for Canada. Twenty-four years later, Garneau made history yet again, becoming the first astronaut to be elected as a Member of Parliament. In between those two milestones in Garneau&amp;apos;s unprecedented career, he was the first Canadian, and the first non-American, to serve as CAPCOM, the voice of Mission Control for the astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle. In the years that followed his historic first voyage to space, Garneau returned to space two more times, becoming the first Canadian to log three trips into orbit, and lead the Canadian Space Agency through its most dynamic years. In the House of Commons, Garneau would ultimately serve in two cabinet posts as Minister of Transport and Minister of Foreign Affairs during some of the biggest events of the past decade: the onset of one of the worst pandemics in modern times; the arbitrary detention of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor by China; the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban; and the death of 85 Canadian citizens and permanent residents aboard Ukrainian Airlines Flight 752, shot down by a missile over Iran. It was no surprise, then, that when Marc Garneau announced his retirement after fourteen years in government, many Canadians lamented the loss of an upstanding parliamentarian who was not afraid to speak up for causes he believed in, even if that meant bucking his own party and its leader. In Making History: Space, Politics, and The Pursuit of a Canadian Dream, Garneau chronicles his once-improbable ascent from a mischievous teenager and rebellious military officer to a decorated astronaut and statesman who represented Canada on the world stage--both on and off the planet. With candour and humour, Garneau describes the highs and lows of his life and career, including the awe he experienced first seeing the earth from space, the tragic loss of his first wife to mental illness and suicide, sailing across the Atlantic and back in a sailboat improbably called &amp;quot;the Pickle,&amp;quot; and witnessing the tragedy of the doomed shuttle Challenger. Honest and illuminating, Making History is a rare journey into the early years of Canada&amp;apos;s space program and an inside account of the joys and challenges of governing from one of Canada&amp;apos;s most distinguished citizens&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

		&lt;p&gt;  Includes bibliographical references and index.   &amp;quot;An incisive, intersectional look at the mother of all gender biases: a resistance to women&amp;apos;s authority and power. Every woman has a story of being underestimated, ignored, challenged, or patronized in the workplace. Maybe she tried to speak up in a meeting, only to be talked over by male colleagues. Or a client addressed her male subordinate instead of her. These stories remain true even for women at the top of their fields; in the U.S. Supreme Court, for example, female justices are interrupted four times more often than their male colleagues--and 96 percent of the time by men. Despite the progress we&amp;apos;ve made toward equality, we still fail, more often than we might realize, to take women as seriously as men. In the Authority Gap, journalist Mary Ann Sieghart provides a startling perspective on the gender bias at work in our everyday lives and reflected in the world around us, whether in pop culture, media, school classrooms, or politics. With precision and insight, Sieghart marshals a wealth of data from a variety of disciplines--including psychology, sociology, political science, and business--and talks to pioneering women like Booker Prize winner Mary Beard, and Hilary Clinton. She speaks with women from a range of backgrounds to explore how gender bias intersects with race and class biases. Eye-opening and galvanizing, The Authority Gap teaches us how we as individuals, partners, parents, and coworkers can together work to narrow the gap. Sieghart exposes unconscious bias in this fresh feminist take on how to address and counteract systemic sexism in ways that benefit us all: men as well as women&amp;quot;--Book jacket. &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

		&lt;p&gt;  Includes bibliographical references and index.   &amp;quot;The epic story of how America turned the world economy into a weapon, upending decades of globalization to take on a new authoritarian axis--Russia, China, and Iran. It used to be that ravaging another country&amp;apos;s economy required blockading its ports and laying siege to its cities. Now all it takes is a statement posted online by the U.S. government. In Chokepoints, Edward Fishman, a former top American sanctions official, takes us deep into the back rooms of power to reveal the untold history of the past two decades of U.S. foreign policy. As Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Ayatollah Khamenei wreaked havoc on the world stage, mavericks within the U.S. government built a fearsome new arsenal of economic weapons. Successive U.S. presidents have relied on these weapons to address the most pressing national security threats, for good and for ill. Chokepoints provides a thrilling account of one of the most transformative developments of our time, demystifying how the U.S. government harnesses the power of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Big Oil against America&amp;apos;s enemies. At the center of the narrative are the trailblazing diplomats, lawyers, and financial whizzes who have masterminded America&amp;apos;s escalating economic wars against Russia, China, and Iran. Control over economic chokepoints--such as the U.S. dollar, advanced microchip technology, and critical energy supply chains--has become the key to geopolitical power in the twenty-first century. The result is a new world order: an economic arms race among great powers and a fracturing global economy. Chokepoints is the definitive account of how America pioneered a new, hard-hitting style of economic warfare--and how it&amp;apos;s changing the world&amp;quot;--Provided by publisher . &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
