Summary

As the need for economic growth takes a salient role in the political discourse of society’s welfare and progress, the middle class, as a social grouping existing within socioeconomic structures, has a multiplier effect – politically and culturally. The middle class serves a vital role in supporting a country’s growth through stimulating economic development and promoting a politically engaged society. By examining Vietnam and Serbia as ideologically attuned countries which differ in economic development, the author draws on functionalist, dimensional paradigms to underline how critical the rise of middle class is in understanding the political stability of modern societies before concluding that society’s sub-social challenges and cultural determinants do affect the course of development and growth. This comprehensive study will appeal to social scientists with interests in political stability, ideological states and development narratives.

    Why Businesses Fail? S01E09

    Nearly two decades ago, there were two or three global standards for reporting the impact of large companies as they went about doing their business. The focus back then was on reporting something called the "Triple Bottom Line", which alluded to the planet, people, and profit (i.e. impact of business on environment, society as well as its financial impact). Then came the United Nations' MDGs or Millennium Development Goals, which were followed by SDGs or Sustainable Development Goals. In 2021, the Stock market regulator SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) made it mandatory for top 100 listed companies to submit their business responsibility reports.
    Failure to operate a business in a sustainable manner poses a bigger risk today than ever before- from drop in share price, to challenges in recruiting high quality talent, and increased burden of compliance.
    In other words, once it was optional to report on sustainable practices. Today, has it become a license to do business? Listen to a thought provoking interview of Gagan Singh, who is Director at CEEW (Council for Energy, Environment and Water). Gagan brings a depth of experience in sustainable reporting and how financial markets view sustainability. He shares specific examples of Indian companies- how market capitalization of a small green energy company is higher than that of the largest thermal power producer in India, and how a cement company was able to raise capital at lower cost in international markets by making commitments to reduce emissions.
    This is an episode of Why Business Fail where one can learn a lot by simply listening and reflecting.

    The origin of the Austrian School of economics is the publication of Carl Menger’s Principles of Economics in 1871. Menger, William Stanley Jevons, and Léon Walras are considered the co-founders of the “marginal revolution” in economics, a shift to the marginal utility theory of value from the labour theory of value. The revolutionists argued that value is not based on the amount of labour expended but reflects how useful people perceive the commodity to be in satisfying their ends. 
    This revolution had radical implications for the way economists understood the world: consumer valuations, and not the amount of effort, is what determines prices. But what determines consumer valuations? This question had long perplexed social scientists. Why do consumers value diamonds, a luxury item, more than water, an essential for life? By introducing the concept of marginal utility, Menger and his co-revolutionaries were able to resolve this paradox. 
    The labour theory of value, however, was not Menger’s only target in his Principles. He was also engaging the German Historical School, which held that economic science is incapable of producing universal principles. In contrast, Menger, using marginal utility analysis as a foundation, argued that universal economic laws do apply across time and geographic space. Those in the German Historical School took issue with the claims by Menger and his colleagues about the possibility of universal theory and labeled them the “Austrian School” because they taught at the University of Vienna. 
    Subsequent generations of scholars have developed the insights of the Austrian School. The purpose of this book is to present an overview of the key tenets of Austrian economics by synthesizing the insights from these thinkers in a set of eight topics that capture the core elements of Austrian economics.
