'A powerful and punchy explanation of why misinformation is a problem that affects us all - be that in finance, politics, media, business or anywhere else. Edmans offers clear ideas about how to counter this, not just in our own lives but also across society as a whole. Timely and very provocative!' - Gillian Tett, Editor-at-Large, Financial Times'Not only brilliantly researched and written but immensely practical' - Andy Haldane, former Chief Economist at the Bank of England'A timely book and, despite the nerdy statistical theories, is often quite funny' Harry Wallop, The TimesA ground-breaking book that reveals why our human biases affect the way we receive and interpret information, with practical suggestions for how to think more critically* Featured in Adam Grants 8 New Idea Books to Start Spring *Our lives are minefields of misinformation. Stories, statistics and studies lie to us on a daily basis. Not only this but, as Professor Alex Edmans reveals, our brains lie to us too. He argues that we need to acknowledge and understand the role that our own human biases play in interpreting and digesting the information that we consume. It's only when we do, that we can actively resist being manipulated, and make informed decisions that improve our lives.'A passionate and dispassionate call to truth - and how to achieve it - in a world of growing disinformation' - Will Hutton, author of The State We're In

The story of the people of Buland Masjid, a community of migrants in Delhi. In Dreaming a Paradise, Chitvan Gill draws on years of research and photographic reportage to unveil the tales of individuals driven to escape poverty, violence, and despair in search of happiness and a place to call home. At the heart of this book lies Buland Masjid, an unauthorized colony on the Yamuna riverbank in Delhi, India, which thrives with restless industry even under the unyielding grip of poverty. The women and men of this colony recycle scrap, repair machines, manufacture clothes, run schools, and sell delicious food, breathing new energy into a once-desolate economy. However, beneath the surface lies a tale of urban planning gone awry, reflecting the comprehensive failure of those in power. Delving into the lives of those cast aside and walled off from Indias vast wealth, this book highlights the huge divide between modern Indias haves and have-nots, and the inherent contradictions in a nation grappling with its identity. In a compelling exploration of humanitys journey, Dreaming a Paradise reveals the triumphs, tragedies, hopes, and hardships of resilient souls seeking their own patch of heaven amidst chaos. From the eternal cycles of loss and discovery, we witness the formation of civilizations and the timeless yearning that defines the human condition

"The problem of poverty is global in scope and has devastating consequences for many essential aspects of life: health, education, political participation, autonomy, and psychological well-being. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy and Poverty presents the current state of philosophical research on poverty in its breadth and depth. It features 39 chapters divided into five thematic sections: 1. Concepts, theories and philosophical aspects of poverty research 2. Poverty in the history of Western philosophy and philosophical traditions 3. Poverty in non-Western philosophical thought 4. Key ethical concepts and poverty 5. Social and political issues The handbook not only addresses questions concerning individual, collective, or institutional responsibility towards people in extreme poverty and the moral wrong of poverty, but it also tackles emerging applied issues that are connected to poverty such as gender, race, education, migration, and climate change. Additionally, it features perspectives on poverty from the history of Western philosophy, as well as non-Western views that explore issues unique to the Global South. Finally, the first section of essays provides an overview of the most important aspects of social science poverty research, which serves as an excellent resource for philosophers and philosophy students unfamiliar with how poverty is empirically researched in practice. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy and Poverty is an essential resource for students and researchers in philosophy, political science, sociology, development studies, and public policy who are working on poverty"--

Der Begriff des Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalts ist vieldeutig, sowohl in der öffentlichen Debatte als auch in den Sozialwissenschaften. Daher stellt sich die Frage, wie der wechselseitige Wissenstransfer zwischen Forschung, Zivilgesellschaft und Politik gelingen kann. Der Band diskutiert, mit welchen Methoden gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt heutzutage erforscht wird und unter welchen Bedingungen forschungsbasierter Wissenstransfer zur Beantwortung gesellschaftlicher Fragen und Probleme eingesetzt werden kann. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode

"Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) has become the mainstay of many health care systems to estimate the value of medical interventions, and is used at least as a reference point in many more. The subject is taught widely in graduate programs involving health care, such as Master of Public Health, Master of Public Policy, and courses in medical schools and graduate business school courses. It is also taught extensively through online and in-person courses from such organizations as the Society for Medical Decision Making and ISPOR-The International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research, which has approximately 15,000 world-wide members. The Tufts University registry of CEA studies now contains over 11,000 entries. Clearly, cost-effectiveness analysis is a large and active "industry.""--
