Fixing the Climate
Strategies for an Uncertain World
Charles F. Sabel, David G. Victor - 2022-08-02
Calificación de Goodreads
This thought-provoking book argues that solving the global climate crisis requires a different approach than what we have seen from top-down global treaties. Fixing the Climate advocates for local partnerships and experimentation with new technologies to quickly learn the best solutions, which can then be spread globally. The authors explain that some of the most iconic environmental policy successes were the result of this experimentalist approach. They argue that local experimentation can help societies deploy the technologies and policies necessary to tackle this daunting global problem, and finally lead to self-sustaining reductions in emissions.

Calificación de Goodreads
This book explores how and why the United States pivoted to become the world's leading superpower, leading the postwar world.

Weaving together a sophisticated and impassioned narrative, the author questions the wisdom of US supremacy and explores the intellectual path that brought us to today's global entanglements and endless wars.

A wonderful book about how ideas — in particular the way we frame apparent alternatives such as international “isolationism” vs “engagement” — shape our perception of interests. ⁦@stephenwertheim⁩      fuente

Las personas más raras del mundo
How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous
Joseph Henrich - 2020-09-08
Calificación de Goodreads
Un relato audaz y épico sobre cómo la coevolución de la psicología y la cultura creó la peculiar mente occidental que ha moldeado profundamente el mundo moderno. Quizás usted sea RARO: criado en una sociedad occidental, educada, industrializada, rica y democrática. Si es así, eres bastante peculiar psicológicamente. A diferencia de la mayor parte del mundo actual, y de la mayoría de las personas que han existido, las personas RARAS son muy individualistas, obsesionadas con sí mismas, orientadas al control, inconformistas y analíticas. Se centran en sí mismos -sus atributos, logros y aspiraciones- por encima de sus relaciones y roles sociales. ¿Cómo llegaron a ser las poblaciones WEIRD tan psicológicamente distintas? ¿Qué papel desempeñaron estas diferencias psicológicas en la revolución industrial y la expansión global de Europa durante los últimos siglos? En ‘El pueblo más raro del mundo’, Joseph Henrich se basa en investigaciones de vanguardia en antropología, psicología, economía y biología evolutiva para explorar estas cuestiones y otras más. El autor explica los orígenes y la evolución de las estructuras familiares, el matrimonio y la religión, así como el profundo impacto de estas transformaciones culturales en la psicología humana. Al trazar un mapa de estos cambios a través de la historia antigua y la antigüedad tardía, Henrich revela que las instituciones más fundamentales del parentesco y el matrimonio cambiaron drásticamente bajo la presión de la Iglesia Católica Romana. Fueron estos cambios los que dieron lugar a la psicología WEIRD que coevolucionaría con los mercados impersonales, la especialización laboral y la libre competencia, sentando las bases del mundo moderno. Provocador y atractivo tanto por su amplio alcance como por sus sorprendentes detalles, El pueblo más raro del mundo’ explora cómo la cultura, las instituciones y la psicología se moldean mutuamente, y explica lo que esto significa tanto para nuestro sentido más personal de quiénes somos como individuos como para las fuerzas sociales, políticas y económicas a gran escala que impulsan la historia humana.

Ghost Work
How to Stop Silicon Valley from Building a New Global Underclass
Mary L. Gray - 2019-05-07
Calificación de Goodreads
"Ghost Work" by Mary L. Gray and Siddharth Suri is a revelatory expose on the invisible human workforce that powers the web. These "ghost workers" are responsible for making the internet appear smart by performing tasks like flagging X-rated content, proofreading, and designing engine parts. An estimated 8 percent of Americans have worked in this "ghost economy," and the number is growing. However, these workers are often paid less than legal minimum wages, have no benefits, and can be fired at any time. Gray and Suri explore how to ensure that this new kind of work creates opportunity rather than misery for those who do it.

Facing the New Anxieties
Paul Collier - 2018-12-04
Calificación de Goodreads
This thought-provoking book by renowned economist Paul Collier diagnoses the failures of capitalism and presents a pragmatic, realistic vision for how we can repair it. Deep divisions in society, including those between rural and urban, educated and less educated, and wealthy and developing countries, have led to the rise of populism and socialism. Collier offers original and ethical solutions to heal these rifts, drawing on his personal experiences and insights from other social scientists. He shows us how to save capitalism and move beyond the intellectual baggage of the past century.
