How Economics Can Save The World - Simple Ideas To Solve Our Biggest Problems (Paperback): Erik Angner How Economics Can Save The World - Simple Ideas To Solve Our Biggest Problems (Paperback)
Erik Angner
R380 R351 Discovery Miles 3 510 Save R29 (8%) In Stock

Economics has the power to make the world a better, happier and safer place: this book shows you how.

Our world is in a mess. The challenges of climate change, inequality, hunger and a global pandemic mean our way of life seems more imperilled and society more divided than ever; but economics can help!

From parenting to organ donation, housing to anti-social behaviour, economics provides the tools we need to fix the biggest issues of today. Far from being a means to predict the stock market or enrich the elite, economics provides a lens through which we can better understand how things work, design clever solutions and create the conditions in which we can all flourish.

With a healthy dose of optimism, and packed with stories of economics in everyday situations, Erik Angner demonstrates the methods he and his fellow economists use to help improve our lives and the society in which we live. He shows us that economics can be a powerful force for good, awakening the possibility of a happier, more just and more sustainable world.

Social Workers Count - Numbers and Social Issues (Paperback): Michael Anthony Lewis Social Workers Count - Numbers and Social Issues (Paperback)
Michael Anthony Lewis
R1,557 Discovery Miles 15 570 In Stock

Social work students are often required to take courses in the domain of quantitative literacy, but struggle with the relative inattention to policy and social issues of special significance to professional social workers. These courses, as well as the books written for them, may also present mathematical demands many social workers are unprepared to meet. However, issues such as poverty measurement, adjustment of the purchasing power of social welfare benefits, demographic strains on the Social Security program, and probability theory as a means of estimating the likelihood of child abuse or neglect represent only a few of the many quantitative problems related to the concerns of professional social workers. Written in an accessible style, Social Workers Count provides social workers and those in neighboring disciplines with the background necessary to engage the quantitative aspects of policy and social issues relevant to social work.

If, for most of the past in most parts of the world, most women have been 'hidden from history', black women in South Africa have been doubly hidden, both as women and because they are black. Three women - two of them black - meet in the pages of this title. Lily Moya was a Transkei schoolgirl growing up in lonely and alien surroundings. She sought help with her education from Mabel Palmer, an elderly white academic, then Organiser of the Natal University College's Non-European section. The third was Subusisiwe Makhanya, a remarkable Zulu woman and a pioneer social worker. Their letters illuminate more of the South African condition than the majority of history textbooks; the generosities, yet humiliations, of white liberalism; the nature of mission education; the socialisation of black girls; and the dilemmas they confront. They also reveal the separate worlds which we all inhabit, but which are made more frightening and more separate by the divisions of age, ethnicity and race.

Do Not Leave Quietly - A Call for Everyday People to Rise Up and Defeat Evil (Paperback): Mario Murillo Do Not Leave Quietly - A Call for Everyday People to Rise Up and Defeat Evil (Paperback)
Mario Murillo; Foreword by Lance Wallnau
R416 R382 Discovery Miles 3 820 Save R34 (8%) In Stock

What does it mean to "leave quietly"? It means making the worst mistake of your life. By leaving quietly, you inflict unspeakable harm on your children and grandchildren.

The battle is raging. Two realms are seeking to influence the natural world—light and darkness. There is no middle ground. Depending on how you participate in life, either Heaven or Hell will advance its agenda into the Earth. The Holy Spirit is trying to show us what is at stake. He is trying to create something that will stop an evil every bit as hideous as Hitler. His voice is crying out to everyone, from celebrity pastors to Christian billionaires to everyday believers. He is ordering us to toss aside petty squabbles and build a movement that can destroy the nameless horror we face.

Mario Murillo is a bestselling author, popular blogger, and minister of the Gospel. As an evangelist for nearly 50 years, Murillo has weathered many cultural shifts, but his message has remained steadfast. In the midst of our current cultural climate, God is seeking to raise an army of prophetic people whose voices shape the direction of the nation.

Do Not Leave Quietly is a prophetic war cry for every reader to:

  • Be ignited with a holy resolve to stop the enemy's plans.
  • Expose and defeat woke and cancel cultures, and win the war on our freedom.
  • Activate the key to seeing signs and wonders to impact your community.
  • Advance the light of God’s Kingdom in the spheres of influence you are called to impact.

Lord, let me use the rest of my life to strike terror into the heart of evil! Say that prayer. Make it your own. If you can do that with faith and sincerity, then you are ready to read this book.
