Sinossi

Urbanization economics explores why cities exist and how they drive economic growth, productivity, and wealth distribution. Cities concentrate populations, leading to agglomeration economies—benefits like knowledge spillovers, labor market pooling, and specialized services that boost productivity. The book, Urbanization Economics, investigates these dynamics, revealing that while urbanization fuels economic progress, it can also exacerbate income inequality. For example, a thriving tech sector might increase wages for skilled workers while leaving others behind, creating disparities.

 
The book argues that urbanization's benefits aren't automatically shared, necessitating targeted policies to mitigate negative consequences. Using quantitative data and case studies, the text examines the impact of urbanization on productivity, innovation, and economic growth, as well as its distributional effects, such as poverty and access to services. It connects to regional economics, development economics, and urban planning to offer a holistic view.

 
The book progresses from core concepts of urbanization to analyzing its effects on productivity and then to the distributional aspects of urbanization across chapters.

    This is a time when the space for free speech is shrinking in India, along with a growing intolerance of contrarian views. The right to dissent, which should be the bedrock of any democracy, is seriously endangered. There is widespread belief that we are in an undeclared emergency. Not everyone agrees with this, though, and the jury is out on the state of play in the world's largest democracy. As charges and countercharges fly, with no unanimity in sight, India's national discourse, particularly its news media, is becoming increasingly divided and polarized. 
    In Editor Missing, veteran journalist Ruben Banerjee attempts to provide clarity on the state of Indian media at a time when there is consensus only on the lack of it. The media mirrors society, and Banerjee is best placed to tell its contested story in contemporary India. As a top editor for various publications, he has had a ringside view for years of the decline in its standards, quality and objectivity. His own experiences reflect the time we live in. The book provides rare insights into the minefield that an editor today runs into - from pressures that are exerted to the risks of upsetting the powers that be. At the end of it, the reader is left with a chilling realization that defending the truth can come at a huge personal cost in present-day India.

    Your drive to create change, catalyze impact, and build relationships all come from neuroelectrical energy—real, electrical impulses—firing in your brain. Who you are as a person depends on how you work with this energy. When this energy rises within you, you feel empowered and dynamic. But when this energy falls, you feel down, stressed, and defeated. 
     
     
     
    You may feel as if you don't control your emotional energy, that it's an inevitable consequence of the world around you and the forces bearing down on you. But that's not the case. To reach your full potential, you can learn to recognize and harness the energy in your brain. Leading neuropsychologist Julia DiGangi will teach you how through eight "codes." Some of the codes will surprise you. All will fortify you. You will learn why these codes work and how to apply them to your own challenges through exercises and reflections. 
     
     
     
    When you start viewing your life less about the activities you do and more about the natural energies within and around you, your power to live and lead with impact grows exponentially. Energy Rising offers you a provocative and neuroscientifically accurate path to greater emotional power, influence, and connection, both at work and at home. Get ready to feel your energy rising.
