Jam Tomorrow? - Why time really matters in economics

Charles Crowson

Sinopse

We all know time is precious. Despite this, economics generally regards time as a unit of measurement rather than as something inherently valuable. What makes this strange is that economics as a discipline has always been something of an academic cuckoo in the nest, borrowing ideas from elsewhere. While it is over a hundred years since Einstein’s theories of relativity revolutionised our concept of time, economics still labours under the old Newtonian conception of it as a sort of fixed, intergalactic tape measure – until now.In Jam Tomorrow?, Charles Crowson presents a new theory of value at the heart of which lies our ever-changing perception of time. Humans are unique in their degree of self-awareness; particularly the awareness of their existence in time. As the basic economic choice is one of consuming in the present or saving for the future, all such choices are ultimately decisions about time. This means that we alone are the animal that chooses to save, since we alone understand that our actions in the present can affect the future.Jam Tomorrow? recasts economics as a question of the balance between our needs and desires in the present and those of the future. This makes our changing perception of time a kind of invisible ink that links the micro to the macro, the past to the future, and that offers a new and challenging way of understanding the relationship between value, price, money and credit.

Generationally Speaking - How to...

Alastair Greener

For the first time in history, eight generations are alive at the same time and four of them are working side by side in today's workplace. Whether in our everyday lives or at work, we're all interacting across multiple generations, and yet bridging the age gap has never been more challenging. Generational labels, often based on lazy, surface-level stereotypes, can reinforce division and miscommunication: Baby Boomers are out of touch, Millennials are entitled, and Gen Zs are so chronically online they can't talk face to face. But these assumptions don't always reflect reality. If we look beyond the stereotypes and headlines and start with understanding instead of judgement, we can get past this disconnect, communicate more effectively, and appreciate the strengths each generation brings to our workplaces, communities and everyday lives. In this fascinating and much-needed book, Alastair Greener helps the reader get to know each of the generations, providing relevant cultural touchpoints, astute observations, and a sense of what makes them tick. He then uses these insights, coupled with his own original research, to make sense of how the generations communicate and suggests how best to navigate having multiple generations in the workforce and in our wider society. Living in a multigenerational world should be seen an asset, not an obstacle, as it means that different perspectives can be brought to the table. Everybody has something to offer as well as something to learn, so let's break down the generational silos and start building bridges.
