Offering the first scholarly analysis of the economic nature of
blockchains and the formation of the blockchain economy, this
timely book explores the future of global capitalism. Applying the
institutional economics of Ronald Coase and Oliver Williamson, the
authors highlight how blockchains are poised to reshape the nature
of firms, governments, markets and civil society. Chapters apply
basic economic principles to explore blockchains and distributed
ledger technologies through the framework of institutional
economics. The book suggests ways in which cryptocurrencies such as
Bitcoin may develop further in the future, bringing us back to a
barter economy which removes the need for a third person in
economic transactions. Outlining a ledger-centric view of the
economy, the authors explore how blockchains and
dehierarchalisation will reduce the demand for government
regulation. Institutional economists and scholars will greatly
appreciate the thorough analysis of the development of
institutional cryptoeconomics and insight into the future of
blockchains that this book offers. Computer and technology
scientists will also find this book to be a valuable read, as well
as those working specifically in the blockchain industry.

They've all given their names to London pubs! This book covers over
650 pub names across all 32 London boroughs as well as the City of
London, revealing the stories of Elizabethan actors, puritanical
plotters, Titanic survivors, treasured cuddly toys and many many
more... Each of them contributes to our understanding of London,
taking in its political, cultural and social history. A must have
for anyone wanting to learn more about London through the unique
medium of one of its most enduring and endearing institutions,
pubs. Read this and you'll never look at your local in the same way
again!
When Julia Child arrived in Paris in 1948, 'a six-foot-two-inch,
thirty-six-year-old, rather loud and unserious Californian', she
barely spoke a word of French and didn't know the first thing about
cooking. As she fell in love with French culture - buying food at
local markets, sampling the local bistros, and taking classes at
the Cordon Bleu - her life began to change forever. We follow her
extraordinary transformation from kitchen ingenue to
internationally renowned (and internationally loved) expert in
French cuisine. Bursting with Child's adventurous and humorous
spirit, My Life in France captures post-war Paris with wonderful
vividness and charm.
This highly innovative and original book proposes evolutionary
microeconomics as a synthesis of the collective schools of
heterodox economic thought with complex systems theory and graph
theory. The book charts a research programme for evolutionary
economics that encompasses the theory of dynamic efficiency and
emergence in markets, a computational model of the learning and
interacting agent, a competence based theory of the firm and the
household, and, via a theory of expectations and plans, an
agent-based foundation to macroeconomics. Principally a work of
meta-theory, The New Evolutionary Microeconomics argues for a
radical refocus of microeconomic research toward the evolutionary
nature of institutions, preferences, technology and knowledge. This
challenging new book should prove timely and important for
evolutionary and computational economists as well as those in the
fields of managerial economics, business studies and marketing.

Zilliacus lived through turbulent years. He was an enemy of fascism
from the 1930s, and after the Second World War worked against Cold
War hysteria through meetings and contascts with Stalin,
Khrushchev, Tito and Castro. Ernest Bevin hated the critical
Gateshead Member of Parliament, and this led to his expulsion from
the Labour Party. Zilliacus fought back and was re-admitted. In
1955 he won the parliamentary seat of Manchester Gorton for Labour.
This biography, based on the Zilliacus Papers and other sources,
traces the life of this remarkable man and throws light upon people
and events over the first decades of the 20th Century. 'A brilliant
biography of a brilliant man.' Tony Benn

While dating from post-Classical economists such as Thorstein
Veblen and Joseph Schumpeter, the inception of the modern field of
evolutionary economics is usually dated to the early 1980s. Broadly
speaking, evolutionary economics sees the economy as undergoing
continual, evolutionary change. Evolutionary change indicates that
these changes were not planned, but rather were the result of
selection processes. These often involved winners and losers, but
most importantly, they resulted in actors learning what was and
wasn't working and moving to the latter. Evolutionary economics, in
contrast to mainstream economics, emphasises the relevance of
variables such as technology, institutions, decision rules,
routines, or consumer preferences for explaining the complex
evolutionary changes in the economy. In so doing, evolutionary
economics significantly broadens the scope of economic analysis,
and sheds new light on key concepts and issues of the discipline.
This handbook draws on a stellar cast-list of international
contributors, ranging from the founders of the field to the newest
voices. The volume explores the current state-of-the-art of the
field of evolutionary economics at the levels of the micro (e.g.
firms and households), meso (e.g. industries and institutions), and
macro (e.g. economic policy, structure and growth). Overall, the
Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics provides an excellent
overview of current trends and issues in this rapidly developing
field.
This book sets out a clear and logical framework for the teaching
of reading throughout different age groups, whereby systematic
progression can be developed within a structured framework. A
detailed set of recommendations are offered and are both
illustrated and justified, for the teacher to examine and use. Much
has been written about the importance of skilled and efficient
reading and language usage in the early years of education, but all
too few teachers are aware of the need for the development of
reading skills in an ordered sequence with older children as well.
Problems such as the motivation of the learner, the place of
reading in a mass media age, the extent and classification of
reading failure and the diagnosis of reading problems are examined,
and the complexities of the linguistic background and of linguistic
deprivation are covered thoroughly.

'I couldn't put it down. . . an important book, raw and simple
enough that you can't help but feel it deeply' James Rebanks,
author of The Shepherd's Life Talented and ambitious, Monica Potts
and her best friend, Darci, were both determined to make something
of themselves. How did their lives turn out so different? Growing
up gifted and working-class in the foothills of the Ozarks, Monica
and Darci became fast friends. Bonding over a shared love of
learning, they pored over the giant map in their classroom, tracing
their fingers over the world that awaited them, vowing to escape
their broken town. In the end, Monica left Clinton for university
and fulfilled her dreams. Darci, along with many in their circle of
friends, did not. Years later, working as a journalist covering
poverty, Monica discovers what she already intuitively knew about
the women in Arkansas. Their life expectancy had steeply declined
-- the sharpest such fall in a century. As she returns to Clinton
to report the story, she reconnects with Darci, and finds that her
once talented and ambitious best friend is now a statistic: a
single mother of two, addicted to meth, jobless and nearly
homeless. Deeply aware that Darci's fate could have been hers, she
retraces the moments in each of their lives that led such similar
women toward such different destinies. Why did Monica make it out
while Darci became ensnared in a cycle of poverty and opioid abuse?
Gripping and unforgettable, The Forgotten Girls is a story of
friendship and lost promise in 21st century America.

The subject of Menopause is just beginning to break the barrier of
taboo, and become a mainstream discussion point, but that
discussion has until now been very serious, medical, and, we would
argue, heterosexual and white. This anthology of poems and short
fiction aims to address that, with wild and wonderful writing from
humour and anger, relief and distress, by women who have
experienced menopause, whether naturally or as a result of surgery;
with a healthy dose of views from the global majority and the
lesbian, bisexual and trans communities. With contributions from
Adele Evershed, Alison Habens, Alyson Hallett, Amanda Addison, Anne
Caldwell, Anne Eccleshall, Anne Macaulay, Cath Holland, Cheryl
Powell, Chloe Balcomb, Claire Booker, Claire Lynn, Clare Starling,
Ellesar Elhaggagi, Elizabeth A Richter, Em Gray, Erica Borgstrom,
Genevieve Carver, Ginger Strivelli, Helen Campbell, Jane Ayres,

Seabright, Julie-Ann Rowell, Karen F Pierce, Kavita A Jindal, Kim
Whysall-Hammond, Lucy Lasasso, Marina Sanchez, Martha Patterson,
Mary Mulholland, Rachel Playforth, Ruth Higgins, Sian Northey,
Susan Bennett, Susan Cartwright-Smith, Tessa Lang, Tina Bethea Ray,
Victoria Bailey, and Victoria Ekpo.
This three volume set gathers together selected key articles in
evolutionary economics, ordering these into the domains of micro
analysis (concerned with agents), meso analysis (concerned with
rule populations and trajectories) and macro analysis (concerned
with the structure and development of the whole economy). This
authoritative collection, with an original introduction by the
editors, will be of interest to scholars and researchers seeking to
understand how evolutionary economics fits together and to advance
such an integrated approach.
