This book looks at the problems fostered by our current economic system - economic inequality, the dominance of Big Tech firms, the loss of privacy and choice, and overuse and abuse of natural resources - and offers a bold solution: a new economic system, free from the design flaws that have contributed to these societal grand challenges.

With the growing popularity of apps such as Uber and Airbnb, there has been a keen interest in the rise of the sharing economy. Michael C. Munger brings these new trends in the economy down to earth by focusing on their relation to the fundamental economic concept of transaction costs. In doing so Munger brings a fresh perspective on the 'sharing economy' in clear and engaging writing that is accessible to both general and specialist readers. He shows how, for the first time, entrepreneurs can sell reductions in transaction costs, rather than reductions in the costs of the products themselves. He predicts that smartphones will be used to commodify excess capacity, and reaches the controversial conclusion that a basic income will be required as a consequence of this new 'transaction costs revolution'.

One of the classic problems in social science is known as 'the dilemma of the commons', in which land, water, and other resources held jointly by social or economic segments tend to be depleted sooner and to a greater extent than privately held assets. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, many aspects of western European society changed fundamentally, including the abolition of common-property rights, which in itself was related to social and economic shifts in that same society. This book intends to put the debate on commons, commoners, and the disappearance of both throughout early modern and modern northwestern Europe in a new light, through new approaches and innovative methodologies. Tine De Moor aims to link the historical debate about the long-term evolution of commons to the present-day debates on common-pool resources, as well as touching upon various disciplines within the social sciences that work on commons issues.

Que vous soyez pour ou contre, de droite ou de gauche, vous croyez tout savoir sur le libéralisme, "sauvage" pour les uns, "salutaire" pour les autres. Mais pourquoi faut-il supprimer la législation sur la concurrence, instaurer la liberté d’immigration, supprimer le monopole de la Sécurité sociale ou encore recourir aux privatisations pour résoudre les problèmes écologiques ? Pourquoi l’euro n’est-il pas une invention libérale ? Pourquoi la mondialisation est-elle préférable à l’intégration régionale ? Pourquoi la politique de stabilisation est-elle une source d’instabilité économique ? Une réévaluation en profondeur de la pensée libérale ; une contribution iconoclaste aux débats sur les principes et la philosophie qui doivent nous guider. Et si le libéralisme, fort des trois principes que sont la liberté, la propriété, la responsabilité, était le véritable humanisme, la seule vraie utopie réaliste qui autorise la plus belle des espérances pour notre temps : la confiance optimiste dans l’individu ?

Traditionally, performance metrics and data have been used to hold organizations accountable. But public service provision is not merely hierarchical anymore. Increasingly, we see partnerships among government agencies, private or nonprofit organizations, and civil society groups. Such collaborations may also use goals, measures, and data to manage group efforts, however, the application of performance practices here will likely follow a different logic. This Element introduces the concepts of "shared measures" and "collective data use" to add collaborative, relational elements to existing performance management theory. It draws on a case study of collaboratives in North Carolina that were established to develop community responses to the opioid epidemic. To explain the use of shared performance measures and data within these collaboratives, this Element studies the role of factors such as group composition, participatory structures, social relationships, distributed leadership, group culture, and value congruence.
