Climate-Smart Food
This open access book asks just how climate-smart our food really is. It follows an average day's worth of food and drink to see where it comes from, how far it travels, and the carbon price we all pay for it. From our breakfast tea and toast, through breaktime chocolate bar, to take-away supper, Dave Reay explores the weather extremes the world’s farmers are already dealing with, and what ne…

Central banks’ mandates cannot merely be to achieve price stability; they should be enlarged to include promoting financial system stability.

Periphery and Small Ones Matter
Dualism is closely linked with inequality. Any process of development entails forces of dispersion (centrifugal) and forces of concentration or agglomeration (centripetal). The tendency for activities to concentrate is driven by the external economies that exceeds the negative externalities (higher prices, congestion, etc.) caused by the concentration. On the other hand, external economies …

Sociology of Interdisciplinarity
Interdisciplinarity is important. This message is so commonly stated— whether in, for example, call texts published by research funding organisations, university research and impact strategies, or by policymakers and practitioners—that the implications of what is actually being advocated for are often backgrounded or, at worse, forgotten. As such, the lived experiences of those deliv…
