Sinossi

“One of the great political works of our time . . . The twentieth-century successor to John Stuart Mill’s essay ‘On Liberty.’” —NewsweekConservatives and concerned citizens alike have grown increasingly fearful of big government. Enter Nobel Prize–winning economist and political theorist F. A. Hayek, whose passionate warning against empowering states with greater economic control, The Road to Serfdom, became an overnight sensation.The latest entry in the University of Chicago Press’s series of newly edited editions of Hayek’s works, The Constitution of Liberty is, like Serfdom, just as relevant to our present moment. The book is considered Hayek’s classic statement on the ideals of freedom and liberty, ideals that he believes have guided—and must continue to guide—the growth of Western civilization. Here Hayek defends the principles of a free society, casting a skeptical eye on the growth of the welfare state and examining the challenges to freedom posed by an ever expanding government—as well as its corrosive effect on the creation, preservation, and utilization of knowledge. In opposition to those who call for the state to play a greater role in society, Hayek puts forward a nuanced argument for prudence. Guided by this quality, he elegantly demonstrates that a free market system in a democratic polity—under the rule of law and with strong constitutional protections of individual rights—represents the best chance for the continuing existence of liberty.Striking a balance between skepticism and hope, Hayek’s profound insights are timelier and more welcome than ever before. This definitive edition of The Constitution of Liberty will give a new generation the opportunity to learn from his enduring wisdom.

    The rural roads that led to our planet-changing global economy ran through the American South. That region's impact on the interconnected histories of business and ecological change is narrated here by acclaimed scholar Bart Elmore, who uses the histories of five southern firms—Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Walmart, FedEx, and Bank of America—to investigate the environmental impact of our have-it-now, fly-by-night, buy-on-credit economy. Elmore explores the historical, economic, and ecological conditions that gave rise to these five trailblazing corporations. He then considers what each has become: an essential presence in the daily workings of the global economy and an unmistakable contributor to the reshaping of the world's ecosystems. Even as businesses invest in sustainability initiatives and respond to new calls for corporate responsibility, Elmore shows the limits of their efforts to "green" their operations and offers insights on how governments and activists can push corporations to do better. 
     
     
     
    Our lives are built around businesses that connect far-flung rural places to urban centers and global destinations. This "country capitalism" that proved successful in the US South has made it possible to satisfy our demands at the click of a button, but each click comes with hidden environmental costs.

Post-COVID, we’ve seen the impacts of the war in Ukraine, an increasingly bellicose China, supply chain disruptions worldwide, change caused by artificial intelligence, an ongoing banking crisis in the West, and now the war in the Middle East. Today’s business leaders must be exceptionally resilient, flexible, and agile, and never has it been more critical to create a robust strategic plan than it is today. Outside In, Inside Out: Unleashing the Power of Business Strategy in Times of Market Uncertainty comes at a critical time when organizations need help simplifying the why, what, and how of their strategy formulation and execution.
    		 
    Using a novel yet simple framework consisting of both the “outside-in” factors (an external environment including customer needs, competition, market dynamics, and trends) as well as the “inside-out” factors (the operating environment within an organization, such as enterprise risks, portfolio analysis, and business performance) that, when understood together, the book will give leaders the tools to make critical strategic choices to propel forward an organization.
    		 
    Outside In, Inside Out is an integrated, easy-to-digest how-to guide that will challenge assumptions and offer tips and tricks of what to do — and, equally importantly, what not to do — to ensure any business develops a competitive edge and achieves success in today’s complex world. Featuring various outside-in and inside-out public examples from the likes of Coca-Cola, Spotify, GM, Bank of America, Airbnb, Toyota, Microsoft, Nike, Snapchat, Starbucks, IKEA, Intel, Samsung, and more; furthermore, the author takes readers on a journey inside the many organizations for which he has acted as an adviser and brings to the book a practitioner’s in-depth perspective, drawing on nearly three decades of strategic work with more than 80 companies in 11 countries.
