Hardback. Condizione: New. A powerful deconstruction of humanity's most influential invention, from the acclaimed economists J. W. Mason and Arjun Jayadev.Money is everywhere in our daily lives. It lurks in the swipe of a card at the grocery store, in looming student-loan debts, in the prices of things we want, and in our subconscious navigation of the modern world. Money is an invisible convenience that saves us, as a society, the hassle of bartering for goods and services-a reflection, in our pockets and on our phones, of the hard facts of scarcity and desire. Or is it something more?In this revelatory book, economists J. W. Mason and Arjun Jayadev explain how and why money is so deeply misunderstood by the world it dominates-as well as the dangerous social implications of this misunderstanding. Against Money tackles the most dearly held "truths" of economics, arguing that the world of money has never been an impartial representation of the world of things. Instead, its existence in different forms-debt, capital, liquidity, and interest-increasingly shapes events in the real world rather than just reflecting them. Sometimes money enables new forms of cooperation; more oftenit facilitates domination. Human existence is not just facilitated by money but also governed by it.In the tradition of works by Thomas Piketty and David Graeber, Against Money is an erudite, disruptive exposé of the illusions and tyrannies of money. Mason and Jayadev present a radically different way of thinking about money-imagining a hopeful future in which it no longer dictates the possibilities of our collective existence.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. One of the most pressing issues in development today is the employment challenge in low- and middle-income countries. As more young people enter the labor force-and as structural transformation unfolds amid deindustrialization, technological disruption, and global competition-the question of how to create sufficient decent jobs has become central to the economic future of the Global South. Although this is a shared challenge across developing regions, it is particularly acute in Africa, where rapid demographic change and urbanization are colliding with limited industrial expansion.Bringing together leading international scholars, The Future of Work in Developing Countries examines the employment problem from multiple perspectives. Early chapters develop conceptual frameworks around corporations and the global hierarchy of production. Subsequent contributions investigate the dynamics of structural transformation, the role of firms in linking production and labor to surplus, and the design of industrial and technology policies. Later chapters turn to detailed case studies-especially from Africa-that illustrate the possibilities and limits of different growth paths, and comparative insights from Asia and Latin America provide further perspective.By combining rigorous theoretical analysis with grounded empirical research, this book demonstrates that employment creation is not an automatic byproduct of growth but a political and institutional project. It offers fresh insights for scholars of development, political economy, and economic history, as well as for policy makers seeking strategies to promote inclusive transformation in Africa and beyond.…
