The Political Economy of Electricity

Autor: Mark Cooper

Número de Páginas: 362

Providing critical insights that will interest readers ranging from economists to environmentalists, policymakers, and politicians, this book analyzes the economics and technology trends involved in the dilemma of decarbonization and addresses why aggressive policy is required in a capitalist political economy to create a sea change away from fossil fuels. The environmental damage across the globe is a result of the success of capitalist industrialism—250 years of carbon pollution resulting from consumption of fossil fuels to drive the economy and the worldwide aspiration to ever-increasing levels of economic development. But capitalism has also produced the tools to solve the problems it has created in the form of a technological revolution in low-carbon renewables, distributed resources, and intelligent systems to integrate supply and demand. This book comprehensively examines the political economy of electricity and analyzes the challenge of transforming today's electricity sector to meet the dual goals of decarbonization and development expressed in the Paris Agreement. Author Mark Cooper defines the dilemma of development and decarbonization as the great challenge facing...

Un contrat social pour l'âge entrepreneurial

Autor: Nicolas Colin

Número de Páginas: 259

Le numérique se diffuse à tous les secteurs de l’économie. Il bouleverse au passage la production, la consommation et le travail. Il met à l’épreuve nos institutions et force tous les agents économiques à se repositionner. Imaginer un nouveau contrat social pour l’économie d’aujourd’hui est un enjeu à la fois social, économique et politique. L’âge entrepreneurial, qui succède à l’économie fordiste du XXe siècle, a besoin de ce nouveau contrat social afin d’aligner les intérêts des uns et des autres : les entreprises et les ménages ; les travailleurs et les consommateurs ; les pouvoirs publics et les entrepreneurs. Ce livre s’adresse à tous les citoyens qui aspirent à renouer avec la prospérité et la stabilité que la France a connues à l’époque des Trente Glorieuses. Il propose l’équivalent du programme du Conseil national de la Résistance de 1944, mais en phase avec le monde d’aujourd’hui. La route est encore longue. Ceux qui s’apprêtent à embarquer doivent s’attendre à rencontrer de nombreux obstacles et à s’exposer à bien des dangers. Ce livre a été écrit pour eux. Nicolas Colin est un haut fonctionnaire qui...

The Digitalization Conundrum in India

Autor: Keshab Das , Bhabani Shankar Prasad Mishra , Madhabananda Das

Número de Páginas: 318

This book examines the nature, extent and implications of rapid strides digitalization has made in India since the turn of the millennium. These have been examined not merely in the sphere of information and communication technology (ICT) but its multifarious applications spreading across almost all aspects of production, services and institutions which have profound repercussions for the transformation of the society and economy at the micro, meso and macro levels. With contributions from both ICT scholars and social scientists, this book presents diverse scenarios and unravels challenges faced in the process of technical applications, access by the users of these disruptive technologies (automation, e-commerce, big data analytics & algorithms, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, etc.) which, unlike heavy machines (embodied technology), mostly defy physical space, pace of mobility and inoperability between technologies. Chapters in this volume address challenges and possibilities in establishing and operating intricate engineering infrastructure, technical and societal constraints encountered in broad-basing digitalization across layers of educational and social skills...

The Business Blockchain

Autor: William Mougayar

Número de Páginas: 129

The definitive pioneering blueprint covering the what, why and how of the blockchain. Blockchains are new technology layers that rewire the Internet and threaten to side-step older legacy constructs and centrally served businesses. At its core, a blockchain injects trust into the network, cutting off some intermediaries from serving that function and creatively disrupting how they operate. Metaphorically, blockchains are the ultimate non-stop computers. Once launched, they never go down, and offer an incredible amount of resiliency, making them dependable and attractive for running a new generation of decentralized services and software applications. The Business Blockchain charts new territory in advancing our understanding of the blockchain by unpacking its elements like no other before. William Mougayar anticipates a future that consists of thousands, if not millions of blockchains that will enable not only frictionless value exchange, but also a new flow of value, redefining roles, relationships, power and governance. In this book, Mougayar makes two other strategic assertions. First, the blockchain has polymorphic characteristics; its application will result in a multiplicity ...

Tomorrow's Economy

Autor: Per Espen Stoknes

Número de Páginas: 380

How we can achieve healthy growth--more regenerative than destructive, restoring equity rather than exacerbating inequalities. In Tomorrow's Economy, Per Espen Stoknes reframes the hot-button issue of economic growth. Going beyond the usual dialectic of pro-growth versus anti-growth, Stoknes calls for healthy growth. Healthy economic growth is more regenerative than destructive, repairs problems rather than greenwashing them, and restores equity rather than exacerbating global inequalities. Stoknes--a psychologist, economist, climate strategy researcher, and green-tech entrepreneur--argues that we have the tools to achieve healthy growth, but our success depends on transformations in government practices and individual behavior. Stoknes provides a compass to guide us toward the mindset, mechanisms, and possibilities of healthy growth.
