Diane Coyle Bücher

Was haben Angebot und Nachfrage oder der Aufbau eines Monopols mit Sex zu tun? Welche Auswirkungen haben Eingriffe der Regierung auf den Preis meiner Tasse Kaffee zum Frühstück? Warum laufen im Radio immer die gleichen Lieder? Sex, Drugs & Economics ermöglicht einen absolut unverkrampften Eintritt in die Welt der Wirtschaft, die sich vielen „Neulingen“ sonst als trocken und ernst präsentiert. Das gelingt Diane Coyle, indem sie dem Leser die Augen für den unmittelbarsten Zugang zu scheinbar komplizierten Wirtschaftsthemen öffnet: das eigene Leben. Unterhaltsam und ganz ohne komplexe Theorien oder unüberwindbare Zahlen- und Faktenberge wird so verständlich, wie Wirtschaft heute funktioniert. Das ideale Buch zum Verschenken und Selber-Schenken. „Noch nie wurde besser beschrieben, wie man das Leben mit den Augen eines Ökonomen wahrnimmt...“ meint niemand Geringerer als Paul Krugman.

Focusing on the interplay between markets, government, and society, this textbook explores how decisions regarding the use and allocation of economic resources are made. It critiques traditional public policy approaches that prioritize macroeconomic policies and fiscal strategies, emphasizing instead the significance of governmental institutions in fostering growth and societal progress. Through this lens, the book offers insights into the complex dynamics that shape economic decision-making within various social contexts.

This work examines both the need for worldwide change and the folly of those who link that capitalism and globalization is anything but increasing property in both urban neighbourhoods and in developing countries

"To many, Thomas Carlyle's put-down of economics as "the dismal science" is as fitting now as it was 150 years ago, but Diane Coyle argues that economics today is more soulful than dismal, a more practical and human science than ever before. In contrast to Freakonomics, which applied economics to unlikely or even eccentric subjects such as baby names and drug gangs, The Soulful Science describes the remarkable creative renaissance in how economics is addressing the most fundamental questions - and how it is starting to help solve problems such as poverty and global warming. A lively and entertaining tour of the most exciting new economic thinking about big-picture problems, The Soulful Science uncovers the hidden humanization of economics over the past two decades "--

The digital economy, driven by technology, big data, and AI, is transforming both the tools of economics and the phenomena it seeks to analyze. Diane Coyle addresses the significant challenges and opportunities facing economics today, emphasizing its role in helping policymakers tackle global crises such as pandemic recovery, inequality, slow growth, and climate change. She critiques mainstream economics for viewing individuals as "cogs"—self-interested agents in structured environments—while the digital landscape is more accurately described by "monsters"—unpredictable, socially influenced entities. This outdated perspective limits economics' ability to address contemporary issues. Coyle questions the validity of economic individualism in the digital age, the need for new metrics of growth and progress, and the objectivity of economics, given its influence on analysis. Additionally, she highlights the urgent need for greater diversity and inclusion within the discipline to foster innovative solutions. With original insights, the work outlines a roadmap for economics to adapt to societal changes and harness its potential for positive impact in the twenty-first century.

Outdated economic metrics from the 1940s fail to address today's digital economy, distorting policymakers' understanding and responses. Diane Coyle highlights the importance of accurate economic statistics in shaping effective policies that impact people's lives. She argues that current challenges, including stagnant living standards despite technological innovation, necessitate a new framework for data collection and analysis. Coyle suggests that revising our approach to economic measurement is essential for fostering equitable growth and navigating contemporary political and economic landscapes.
