Since the 1992 Earth Summit, there have been increased efforts on an international scale to address global climate change. Reducing the increased levels of CO2 and other "greenhouse gases," which are believed to be contributing to this climatic change, will require major effort on the part of the world’s governments. This means that the environmental, economic, social, and political consequences of climate change must be understood, and that strategies to mitigate climate change must also address these issues.

Free Download Milton Friedman, Gary S. Becker, Kyle Snyder (Narrator), "Milton Friedman on Economics: Selected Papers"
English | ASIN: B0D9R98MYJ | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~07:26:00 | 205 MB
On his death in the autumn of 2006, Milton Friedman was lauded as "the grandmaster of free-market economic theory in the postwar era" by the New York Times and "the most influential economist of the second half of the 20th century" by the Economist. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1976, Friedman was both a highly respected economist and a prominent public intellectual, the leader of a revolution in economic and political thought that argued robustly in favor of virtues of free markets and laissez-faire policies.
Milton Friedman on Economics: Selected Papers collects a variety of Friedman’s papers on topics in economics that were originally published in the Journal of Political Economy. Opening with Friedman’s 1977 Nobel Lecture, the volume spans nearly the whole of his career, incorporating papers from as early as 1948 and as late as 1990. An excellent introduction to Friedman’s economic thought, Milton Friedman will be essential for anyone tracing the course of twentieth-century economics and politics.

Free Download Making Sense of Chaos: A Better Economics for a Better World (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0D6C52C83 | 2024 | 9 hours and 38 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 274 MB
Author: J. Doyne Farmer
Narrator: J. Doyne Farmer
From a pioneer in the field of complexity science and chaos theory, a plan for solving the world’s most pressing problems. We live in an age of increasing complexity-an era of accelerating technology and global interconnection that holds more promise, and more peril, than any other time in human history. The fossil fuels that have powered global wealth creation now threaten to destroy the world they helped build. Automation and digitization promise prosperity for some, unemployment for others. Financial crises fuel growing inequality, polarization, and the retreat of democracy. At heart, all these problems are rooted in the economy, yet the guidance provided by economic models has often failed.

Free Download Left Behind: A New Economics for Neglected Places (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CQ8SN3BV | 2024 | 11 hours and 42 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 335 MB
Author: Paul Collier
Narrator: Peter Noble
From the bestselling author, the fate of the poorest regions of the world-some of which exist in the richest nations-is examined. Using examples of the "left behind" regions, renowned development economist Paul Collier shows that centralized western economies have been the most ineffective to alleviate poverty-even if nationally the country seems to be growing. In Left Behind, Collier examines how the assumption that any impoverished area will find a way to progress through market forces has devastated nations all over the world. With keen insight, he draws lessons from such disparate fields as behavioral psychology, evolutionary biology, and moral philosophy to explain how we can adapt to the needs of individual economies in order to build a brighter and fairer global future.

Free Download Smart Grid Economics: A Field Experimental Approach to Demand Response (Advances in Japanese Business and Economics, 32) by Takanori Ida, Makoto Tanaka, Koichiro Ito
English | January 4, 2024 | ISBN: 9819985765 | 152 pages | MOBI | 7.23 Mb
This book aims to report on a cutting-edge research project of the smart grid in Japan, resting on the three pillars of field experiments, behavioral economics, and big data. The field experiments on the smart grid were conducted in four regions in Japan―Yokohama city, Toyota city, Keihanna Science City, and Kitakyushu city―over a three-year period from 2012 to 2014 after the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, and the subsequent accident at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plants. Our focus here is on demand response in the smart grid environment, which we also discuss in the context of power system reforms. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, policy makers, and business leaders.
