Man Vs. Markets by Paddy Hirsch of NPR’s "Marketplace" is economics explained, pure and simple, for the layperson who wouldn’t know a "bond" from an "option," and who believes that a "future" is when we’ll all have flying cars. Here is an illuminating, insightful, and wonderfully witty journey of discovery through the often confusing financial markets, offering clear, relatable explanations and definitions of the system’s various instruments, yet less simplistically than the popular …for Dummies series. Man Vs. Markets is a must-read handbook for everyday investors, serious students of finance and economics, and everyone who wants to understand what they’re reading when they open their newspapers to the business section.

Free Download Sacha Hepburn, "Home economics: Domestic service and gender in urban southern Africa "
English | ISBN: 1526162024 | 2022 | 256 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Domestic service has long been one of the largest forms of urban employment across southern Africa. Home economics provides the first comprehensive history of this essential sector in the decades following independence and the end of apartheid. Focusing on Lusaka and drawing wider comparisons, the book traces how Black workers and employers adapted existing models of domestic service as part of broader responses to changing gendered employment patterns, economic decline, and endemic poverty. It reveals how kin-based domestic service gradually displaced wage labour and how women and girl workers came to dominate kin-based and waged domestic service, with profound consequences for labour regulation and worker organising. Theoretically innovative and empirically rich, the book provides essential insights into debates about gender, work, and urban economies that are critical to understanding southern Africa’s post-colonial and post-apartheid history.

Free Download Understanding Ludwig Lachmann’s Economics
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009479369 | 54 Pages | PDF (True) | 0.8 MB
Ludwig Lachmann is a central but underappreciated figure within the Austrian school of economics. Although his understanding of institutions, his appreciation of the heterogeneity of capital, his emphasis on subjectivity, and his focus on the dynamism and uncertainty of the real world have become dominant positions amongst Austrian economists, he is still viewed as something of an outsider. As such, the contributions of Lachmann’s economics are arguably misunderstood. This Element attempts to tease out and discuss the critical contributions of Lachmann’s economics. Arguably, one way in which to understand Lachmann’s economics is by seeing it as unified in considering, in various ways, a single conceptual ‘problem’ – the apparent tension between the dynamic nature of social reality and the intelligible nature of the social world. Approaching Lachmann with this theme in mind allows us to put things together more coherently than other exegetical strategies.
