This book illustrates how to anticipate the future using
more than the traditional predictive models (forecasting)
based on the forward projection of past experiences, and
moving into more advanced methods of anticipation logic
(foresight) to build probable scenarios based on weak
signals, emerging trends, coexisting presents and
potential paths of evolution.

In a world in which millions of people, particularly in
developing countries, continue to lead lives plagued by
illiteracy and ill-health, understanding the conditions
that promote social welfare is of critical importance to
political scientists and policy makers alike. Drawing on
a multi-method study, from the late nineteenth century to
the present, of the stark variations in educational and
health outcomes within a large, federal, multi-ethnic
developing country - India - this book develops an
argument for the power of collective identity as an
impetus for state prioritization of social welfare.

The Komagata Maru incident has become central to ongoing
debates on Canadian racism, immigration,
multiculturalism, citizenship and Indian nationalist
resistance. The chapters presented in this book, revisit
the ship’s ill-fated journey to throw new light on its
impact on South Asian migration and surveillance, ethnic
and race relations, anti-colonial and postcolonial
resistance, and citizenship. The book draws on archival
resources to offer the first multidisciplinary study of
the historic event that views it through imperial,
regional, national and transnational lenses and positions
the journey both temporally and spatially within micro
and macro histories of several regions in the British
Empire. It contributes to the emerging literature on
migration, mobilities, borders, and surveillance,
regionalism and transnationalism.

For an invented concept the BRICS has made a serious
impact on global politics. Brazil, Russia, India, China
and South Africa differ greatly from one another, and yet
since 2008 they have stood together to form a distinctive
and growing force in global politics. The book analyzes
the BRICS, from their place in politics to their
influence in providing a different perspective to the
Western world. Considering the economic and diplomatic
implications of the emergence of the powerful group,
Cooper explains how it is both a symbol of, and a vehicle
for, change in our global system.

Traditionally economists have based their economic
predictions on the assumption that humans are super-
rational creatures, using the information we are given
efficiently and generally making selfish decisions that
work well for us as individuals. Economists also assume
that we-re doing the very best we can possibly do - not
only for today, but over our whole lifetimes too. But
increasingly the study of behavioral economics is
revealing that our lives are not that simple.

The clothing industry provides employment for 60 million
workers worldwide. More than a quarter of these workers
are employed in the Asia-Pacific region, where the
industry is based on subcontracted production on behalf
of international buyers. Rapid movements of manufacturing
activity from country to country in search of cost
advantages make clothing workers part of a globalizing
labour market where they increasingly suffer from job
insecurity.

Banks are of central importance for economic growth, the
allocation of capital, competitiveness, and financial
stability. Propelled by technological advances in
financial analysis and financial deregulation, the
banking industry-s investment played a key role in
enhancing national economic growth in the early 21st
century. The global financial crisis in 2007 revealed the
banking world-s feet of clay. Since 2007, the turmoil in
the global financial system has prompted a fundamental
reappraisal of the scale, scope, governance, performance,
safety and soundness of banks and other financial
institutions.

Stock Markets, Investments and Corporate Behavior
examines the nature of stock market growth and decline,
the function of financial markets, and their implications
for commercial companies. Traditionally, finance
academics have attempted to understand financial markets
and commercial companies as physicists approach their
subject matter: with a set of laws in mind that govern
the field. But finance is not physics. The academic-s
approach falsely assumes that financial markets can be
understood as systems within which self-interested
maximizers behave in logical ways that are coordinated by
the invisible hand of the price mechanism.

The World Scientific Handbook of Futures Markets serves
as a definitive source for comprehensive and accessible
information in futures markets. The emphasis is on the
unique characteristics of futures markets that make them
worthy of a special volume. In our judgment, futures
markets are currently undergoing remarkable changes as
trading is shifting from open outcry to electronic and as
the traditional functions of hedging and speculation are
extended to include futures as an alternative investment
vehicle in traditional portfolios.

The remarkable speed at which microcredit has expanded
around the world in the last three decades has piqued the
curiosity of practitioners and theorists alike. By
developing innovative ways of making credit available to
the poor, the idea of microcredit has challenged many
traditional assumptions about both poverty reduction
strategies and financial markets. While this has
encouraged new theorizing about how microcredit works,
the practice of microcredit has itself evolved, often in
unpredictable ways, outpacing the development of theory.

outlooks of major Asian states, they analyse whether
energy policies are expected to evolve along market

Globalization has become one of the defining buzzwords of
our time--a term that describes a variety of complex
economic, political, cultural, ideological, and
environmental forces that are rapidly altering our
experience of the world. In the years since World War II,
we have seen national boundaries fade as financial
markets, manufacturing concerns, information services,
and cultural products (including movies, music, and
television shows) have spread around the earth.
Immigration and tourism have exploded, Japanese cars are
assembled in the United States and American hamburgers
are sold in Toyko. And the Internet connects virtually
everyone on the planet who owns a computer. We are indeed
now living in a borderless world.

The landlord and his emaciated labourer are symbolic of
Indian agriculture. However, this relationship has now
changed as large landowners have fallen from their
superior position. This book explores how this emblematic
pair is becoming a thing of the past. It investigates
whether family labour farms are gaining prominence as a
consequence of the structural transformation of the
economy. The authors work alongside Weberian methodology
of ideal types and develop different types of family
farms among them family labour farms that rely mainly on
family workers, contrasted with capitalist farms that
depend on hired labour.

The rise of the Japanese multinational company (JMNC)
marked, from the 1980s onwards, an historic change in the
structure and in the dynamics of the international
economy. For the first time, businesses from a non-
Western nation established a competitive global presence,
and they did so by bringing their advanced products and
management systems to the developed economies of Europe
and North America. In the last 30 years, our
interpretations of JMNCs have undergone a series of
revisions. Korean firms followed JMNCs in the 1990s and
the Chinese likewise in the 2000s.

Antitrust Law in the New Economy considers a wide range
of problems that arise around one aspect of information
in the marketplace: its quality. Sellers now have the
ability and motivation to distort the truth about their
products when they make data available to intermediaries.
And intermediaries, in turn, have their own incentives to
skew the facts they provide to buyers, both to benefit
advertisers and to gain advantages over their
competition. Consumer protection law is poorly suited for
these problems in the information economy. Antitrust law,
designed to regulate powerful firms and prevent collusion
among producers, is a better choice. But the current
application of antitrust law pays little attention to
information quality.

synthetic and analytic methods to derive projective,
affine and metrical properties, covering both Euclidean
and non-Euclidean geometries. With more than two thousand
years of history, conic sections play a fundamental role
in numerous fields of mathematics and physics, with
applications to mechanical engineering, architecture,
astronomy, design and computer graphics. This text will
be invaluable to undergraduate mathematics students,
those in adjacent fields of study, and anyone with an

successful "business builder" personalities--the Driver,
the Explorer, the Crusader, and the Captain--each
displaying special gifts and predictable gaps or
shortcomings in growing their companies and new ventures.
Built for Growth blends exclusive research findings,
personal interviews, and experienced analysis to
illustrate how each type handles the five dynamic
challenges of building businesses of lasting value:
converting an idea into reality, recruiting inspired
talent, transforming buyers into partners, aligning

von Mises as Praxeology, provides a useful alternative to
more common methods in the study of action and social
phenomena, and more specifically, to leadership in
complex social systems. Rather than being based on
rationality assumptions and algorithmic predictability,
the STV emphasizes transient subjectivity shaped by a
complex world of lacking information, mistakes,
disequilibrium, uncertainty and attempted error
correction that defy mathematization and exact
prediction.
