Wired for Innovation : How Information Technology Is Reshaping the Economy
Two experts on the information economy explore the true economic value of technology and innovation. A wave of business innovation is driving the productivity resurgence in the U.S. economy. In Wired for Innovation, Erik Brynjolfsson and Adam Saunders describe how information technology directly or indirectly created this productivity explosion, reversing decades of slow growth.They argue that the companies with the highest level of returns to their technology investment are doing more than just buying technology; they are inventing new forms of organizational capital to become digital organizations.These innovations include a cluster of organizational and business-process changes, including broader sharing of information, decentralized decision-making, linking pay and promotions to performance, pruning of non-core products and processes, and greater investments in training and education. Innovation continues through booms and busts. This book provides an essential guide for policy makers and economists who need to understand how information technology is transforming the economy and how it will create value in the coming decade.

Hydrogen Economy, The: Fundamentals, Technology, Economics
The 'Hydrogen Economy' is very broad subject ranging from the potential use of hydrogen for domestic use to the mass production of hydrogen replacing coal, natural gas (LNG) and conventional transport fuels.For any given project, there are many alternatives to consider for each stage of making, storing and transporting hydrogen.The book aims to assist proponents, and financiers of hydrogen projects to identify the optimum alternatives and identify hurdles and approaches to overcome them.This book attempts to describe an optimum approach to implement and its cost. It sets out to identify hurdles to implementation which may not be apparent to those entering the field for the first time.The book covers the various means and costs of production from fossil fuels (with carbon capture) - blue hydrogen - electrolysis - green hydrogen - or biomass.The book covers hydrogen storage as liquid or compressed gas and transport, through pipelines as liquid or by an intermediary fluid such as ammonia or a hydrocarbon.The book also discusses the production and costs of hydrogen delivery at the user end of a logistics chain.It also compares the relative energy value of energy delivered hydrogen versus the current suite of conventional fuels.

Free market economy or planned economy?
The choice between a free market economy and a planned economy depends on the specific goals and values of a society. A free market economy allows for individual freedom and competition, which can lead to innovation and efficiency. However, it can also result in inequality and lack of regulation. On the other hand, a planned economy allows for more control and distribution of resources, but it can stifle individual initiative and innovation. Ultimately, the decision between the two depends on the balance a society seeks between individual freedom and social equality.
-
Why market economy and not planned economy?
A market economy is preferred over a planned economy because it allows for individual freedom and choice in economic decision-making. In a market economy, prices are determined by supply and demand, leading to efficient allocation of resources. Additionally, competition in a market economy encourages innovation and productivity, driving economic growth. On the other hand, a planned economy, where the government controls production and distribution, can lead to inefficiencies, lack of innovation, and limited consumer choice.
-
How are planned economy and shortage economy related?
A planned economy is a system in which the government controls and regulates production, distribution, and prices of goods and services. In a planned economy, resources are allocated based on a central plan rather than market forces. A shortage economy occurs when there is a lack of goods and services available for consumers due to factors such as poor planning, inefficiency, or external shocks. In a planned economy, the risk of a shortage economy is higher as the government may not accurately predict or meet the demands of the population, leading to imbalances in supply and demand.

What is the difference between social market economy, free market economy, and planned economy?
A social market economy combines elements of both a free market economy and a planned economy. It allows for private ownership of businesses and resources, while also implementing government regulations to ensure fair competition and social welfare. In contrast, a free market economy relies on minimal government intervention, allowing businesses to operate with little regulation. On the other hand, a planned economy is centrally controlled by the government, with decisions regarding production, distribution, and pricing made by central authorities.

Reinventing Education: Beyond the Knowledge Economy
The need for change in the education system is obvious and overwhelming.But each stakeholder group has its own ideas about why the system is broken and how to fix it.Competing priorities, political inertia and diminishing budgets maintain the dysfunctional status quo.This essential text examines the underlying causes behind the key challenges facing schools and argues that we need to move from knowledge transfer systems to a deliberately developmental approach that transforms capabilities including emotional regulation, systems thinking, critical analysis, creativity and collaborative capability. The chapters provide a framework for designing, constructing and implementing school systems that can transform the outcome in a classroom, school or trust. Topics covered include:Why education is a ‘wicked’ problemWhy development must be central and sit alongside knowledge transfer (as AI takes over ‘expertise’)How motivation and value systems evolve and are key to changeHow to drive behaviour change to transform outcomesWhat human-centred means now in a reinvented systemOffering much-needed insights, guidance and solutions for teachers, school leaders and policy-makers, this book will be valuable reading for all those interested in school improvement and education policy.

Pliny's Roman Economy : Natural History, Innovation, and Growth
The first comprehensive study of Pliny the Elder’s economic thought—and its implications for understanding the Roman Empire’s constrained innovation and economic growthThe elder Pliny’s Natural History (77 CE), an astonishing compilation of 20,000 “things worth knowing,” was avowedly intended to be a repository of ancient Mediterranean knowledge for the use of craftsmen and farmers, but this 37-book, 400,000-word work was too expensive, unwieldy, and impractically organized to be of utilitarian value.Yet, as Richard Saller shows, the Natural History offers more insights into Roman ideas about economic growth than any other ancient source.Pliny’s Roman Economy is the first comprehensive study of Pliny’s economic thought and its implications for understanding the economy of the Roman Empire. As Saller reveals, Pliny sometimes anticipates modern economic theory, while at other times his ideas suggest why Rome produced very few major inventions that resulted in sustained economic growth.On one hand, Pliny believed that new knowledge came by accident or divine intervention, not by human initiative; research and development was a foreign concept.When he lists 136 great inventions, they are mostly prehistoric and don’t include a single one from Rome—offering a commentary on Roman innovation and displaying a reverence for the past that contrasts with the attitudes of the eighteenth-century encyclopedists credited with contributing to the Industrial Revolution.On the other hand, Pliny shrewdly recognized that Rome’s lack of competition from other states suppressed incentives for innovation.Pliny’s understanding should be noted because, as Saller shows, recent efforts to use scientific evidence about the ancient climate to measure the Roman economy are flawed. By exploring Pliny’s ideas about discovery, innovation, and growth, Pliny’s Roman Economy makes an important new contribution to the ongoing debate about economic growth in ancient Rome.

Deglobalization : China-US Rivalry in the Innovation Economy
The emerging conflict between the US and China has an inherent tendency towards a development of deglobalization.It is the historical prerequisites for this deglobalization that are examined in this book.These assumptions are largely based on what is termed the second wave of globalization, based on increasing technological competition between the US and China, as well as China's expansion along the New Silk Road. In this book, the author makes a distinction between the Old Globalization and the New Globalization.The Old Globalization was characterized by competition over costs in general and wage costs in particular, while the New Globalization is categorized by new competencies and skills, especially technological capabilities and technological innovations.The second wave, which is driven by technological innovations, lays the foundation for a counter-strategy on the part of the US to stem the Chinese technological expansion.It is this new strategy that confines the second wave of globalization from China and lays the foundation for deglobalization. The book analyses US-China relations from a fresh perspective, namely a systemic thinking approach.The focus is the emerging innovation economy, which leads to tension and deglobalization.The book is grounded in evolutionary economics and uses conceptual generalization in its descriptions, analysis, theoretical reflections, and real-world cases.The key message is that the economy of the future will be characterized by coordinated wave movements: economic growth mainly controlled by private capital alternating with economic downturns that necessitate collective solutions and government interventions.The book offers policy suggestions, which include promoting effective macroeconomic policies, and extending microeconomic cooperation schemes, related to the innovation economy.

Is Germany a centrally planned economy, a social market economy, or a free market economy?
Germany is considered a social market economy. This means that while it operates within a free market framework, the government plays a significant role in regulating the economy and providing social welfare programs. The social market economy model aims to balance economic freedom with social responsibility, promoting competition and entrepreneurship while also ensuring social security and a fair distribution of wealth. This approach has been a key factor in Germany's economic success and stability.

How do planned economy and social market economy differ?
A planned economy is one in which the government controls all aspects of economic production and distribution, including setting prices and determining what goods and services are produced. In contrast, a social market economy is a system in which the government plays a more limited role, allowing for private ownership and competition while also providing social safety nets and regulations to ensure fair competition and protect consumers. In a planned economy, the government has a central role in decision-making, while in a social market economy, the market plays a more significant role, with government intervention focused on ensuring fairness and social welfare.

'Economy or Environment?'
Both the economy and the environment are important and interconnected. It is essential to strike a balance between economic growth and environmental protection to ensure sustainable development. Neglecting the environment can have long-term negative impacts on the economy, while a healthy environment can support a thriving economy. Therefore, it is crucial to consider both aspects in decision-making processes to achieve a harmonious and sustainable future.
