Megathreats : ten threats to our future and how to survive them / Nouriel Roubini.

Renowned economist Nouriel Roubini was nicknamed 'Dr. Doom', until his prediction of the 2008 housing crisis and Great Recession came true - when it was too late. Now he is back with a much scarier prediction, one that we ignore at our peril. There are no fewer than ten overlapping, interconnected threats that are so serious, he calls them Megathreats. From the worst debt crisis the world has ever seen, to governments pumping out too much money, to borders that are blocked to workers and to many shipments of goods, to the rise of a new superpower competition between China and the U.S., to climate change that strikes directly at our most populated cities, we are facing not one, not two, but ten causes of disaster. There is a slight chance we can avoid them, if we come to our senses - but we must act now.

Russia resurrected : its power and purpose in a new global order / Kathryn E. Stoner.

Too often, we are told that Russia plays a weak hand well. Russia ranks behind the US and China by traditional measures of power like GDP. Yet 25 years removed from its mid-1990s nadir, Russia has become a supremely disruptive force in world politics. How has Russia's resurrection happened and why are observers surprised? Kathryn E. Stoner assesses the revival of Russia and argues that we should look beyond traditional means of power to assess its real strength in international politics.

The passion economy : the new rules for thriving in the twenty-first century / Adam Davidson.

From 'Focus on Intimacy at Scale' to 'Find Your Valuable Five Percent' and 'The Harder Your Core Customer Is to Reach, The Better You Will Do', Adam Davidson lays down the ground rules for success in the new economy. Drawing on inspiring case studies - a sweatshop-owner's daughter fighting for better working conditions, an Amish craftsman meeting the technological needs of his fellow farmers - as well as the latest academic research, he shows us how the twentieth-century economy of scale has given way in this century to an economy of passion.

The 10 rules of successful nations / Ruchir Sharma.

This short primer distils Sharma's decades of global analytic experience into ten rules for identifying nations that are poised to take off or crash. A wake-up call to economists who failed to foresee every recent crisis, including the cataclysm of 2008, the book is full of insights on signs of political, economic, and social change. Sharma explains, for example, why autocrats are bad for the economy; robots are a blessing, not a curse; and consumer prices don't tell you all you need to know about inflation. He shows how currency crises begin with the flight of knowledgeable locals, not evil foreigners; how debt crises start in private companies, not government; and why the best news for any country is none at all. Rethinking economics as a practical art, this resource is a must-read for business, political and academic leaders who want to understand the most important forces that shape a nation's future.

Doughnut economics : seven ways to think like a 21st-century economist / Kate Raworth.

Economics is broken. Its theories have created a world where millions of people live in extreme poverty, even as the personal wealth of the super-rich grows year on year. With human activity causing unprecedented degradation of the planet, climate change now poses an existential threat to everyone on Earth. All the while, economists seem unable to explain the financial crises that periodically shake the foundations of our societies - let alone know what we can do to prevent them.Is there another way of running things?

Economics after capitalism : a guide to the ruins and a road to the future / Derek Wall ; foreword by David Bollier.

From the time it was uttered by Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s, 'There is no alternative' has been the unofficial mantra of the neoliberal order. The illusion of inevitability has long been a bulwark of late capitalism, leaving us unable to imagine anything beyond its crises and inequalities. But as Derek Wall argues in this book, there is in fact an alternative to our crisis-ridden, austerity-inflicted world - and not just one alternative, but many. Challenging the arguments for markets, mainstream economics, and capitalism from Adam Smith onwards, this book provides a step-by-step guide to the writers, movements, and schools of thought critical of neoliberal globalization.

Breakout nations : in pursuit of the next economic miracles / Ruchir Sharma.

Ruchir Sharma shows why the economic 'mania' of the 21st century, with its unshakable faith in the power of emerging markets to continue growing at the astoundingly rapid and uniform pace of the last decade, is wrong. Which countries will rise to become the next economic stars?
