This book is a forthright and novel examination of efforts to
improve national and global governance over the last forty years.
Much has changed since Michel Foucault considered, and rejected,
economics and neoliberalism as a potential mechanism for
individuals to govern themselves and their nations. Nonetheless,
his approach, which focused on the evolution of social development
through interaction of many disciplines and biopolitical forces,
remains highly relevant. Neoliberalism became a dominant political
force from the 1980s to the present. It has failed however to
address issues of inequality, to ensure economic stability, or to
tackle the problems of people and nations that have been
marginalized by industrial progress and international conflict.
Market forces alone cannot meet the needs of global society. Now,
however, developments in behavioural theory, institutional theory
and analysis, accounting theory and accountability practice are
providing tools that are developing comprehensive and
evidence-based measures of well-being that promise to broaden and
strengthen the field of socio-economic policy-making. Resolute,
albeit long-term, steps to establish widely accepted standards of
accountability, the book argues, are essential to guide policies
and address the formidable governance issues of global security,
information technology, social inequality, and economic and
financial crises that the world faces at the beginning of the 21st
century.

'Tell me, Muse, of the man of many turns, who was driven far and
wide after he had sacked the sacred city of Troy' Twenty years
after setting out to fight in the Trojan War, Odysseus is yet to
return home to Ithaca. His household is in disarray: a horde of
over 100 disorderly and arrogant suitors are vying to claim
Odysseus' wife Penelope, and his young son Telemachus is powerless
to stop them. Meanwhile, Odysseus is driven beyond the limits of
the known world, encountering countless divine and earthly
challenges. But Odysseus is 'of many wiles' and his cunning and
bravery eventually lead him home, to reclaim both his family and
his kingdom. The Odyssey rivals the Iliad as the greatest poem of
Western culture and is perhaps the most influential text of
classical literature. This elegant and compelling new translation
is accompanied by a full introduction and notes that guide the
reader in understanding the poem and the many different contexts in
which it was performed and read.
