Branko Milanovic is best known as one of the world's leading experts on global inequality. But he is also an unusually wide-ranging and penetrating commentator on subjects across economics and beyond, in politics, history, and culture. This book brings together his most searching, provocative, and entertaining articles of recent years, providing an abundance of vital insights into the evolution and dynamics of the world under capitalism. The volume features important ideas about the struggle to achieve a more equal and prosperous world against not only the predictable forces of deregulation and distraction but new ideas about shrinking the economy to protect the environment. Further from Milanovic's speciality, readers will find an extraordinary array of reflections on subjects including migration, globalization, the politics and economics of Russia and China, the crisis of liberal democracy, economic and literary history, and the intellectual giants of economics. The pieces are united by Milanovic's distinctive voice - humane, wry, and realistic - and by remarkable erudition worn lightly whether the topic is the fall of Constantinople, Jane Austen, or the mores of contemporary soccer. No one can fail to learn from the book, while the sparkling prose, unexpected observations, and sheer importance of the subjects at hand make it a compelling read from start to finish.

Innovation is critical to increasing global prosperity and is also essential to surviving and overcoming the ongoing challenges of pandemics, wars, climate change and systemic financial turmoil.

In Capital Offence award-winning investor Paul Musson shows how the world is becoming increasingly divided on many fronts. One of the root causes of this is that well-intended policymakers have drunk the something-from-nothing Kool-Aid and are convinced that there is such a thing as a free lunch. There isn't. They believe that debt-fueled spending is what leads to economic prosperity. It doesn't. The direct result of these central bank-supported policies is growing wealth disparity where some people are able to extract more from our economic system than they create, while others are left to foot the bill. Most books on this subject speak in a language understood only by those steeped in financial jargon; Paul Musson uses everyday language and analogies to help readers understand why the economy is moving in the wrong direction. The next generation is now poised to be worse off than its predecessors, not because they are less productive, but because older generations are benefiting at their expense - an unsustainable and immoral reality. Paul Musson gives us steps for reform, and while the painful choices ahead are inevitable, facing them now will prevent even greater consequences later.
