Beschreibung

Ridge Fields Flourish explores the intersection of economics, world history, and indigenous agricultural practices in the Andes. It examines how Quechua farmers adapted their traditional techniques, particularly ridge field agriculture (waru waru), to meet the demands of an evolving market economy. This agricultural system, developed by pre-Columbian societies, demonstrates both ecological benefits and productivity, providing insights into sustainable agriculture. The book traces the integration of Andean communities into regional and global markets, analyzing how increased demand for crops like potatoes and quinoa influenced farming practices. It argues that economic adaptation is a dynamic process shaped by historical context, social structures, and environmental constraints. By incorporating archival documents, ethnographic studies, and economic models, Ridge Fields Flourish offers a comprehensive perspective on agricultural adaptation.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with the history and agronomy of ridge field agriculture. It then assesses changes in crop selection and land management resulting from market integration, using case studies of specific crops and regions. This approach provides a nuanced understanding of the long-term consequences of market integration on Quechua agricultural systems.

Sandra Matz

As algorithms become increasingly adept at accessing the human mind, they also become more and more powerful at controlling it, enticing us to buy a certain product or vote for a certain political candidate. Some of us say this technological trend is no big deal. Others consider it one of the greatest threats to humanity. But what if the truth is more nuanced and mind-bending than that? 
 
 
 
In Mindmasters, Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz reveals in fascinating detail how big data offers insights into the most intimate aspects of our psyches and how these insights empower an external influence over the choices we make. This can be creepy, manipulative, and downright harmful, with scandals like that of British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica being merely the tip of the iceberg. Yet big data also holds enormous potential to help us live healthier, happier lives—for example, by improving our mental health, encouraging better financial decisions, or enabling us to break out of our echo chambers. 
 
 
 
With passion and clear-eyed precision, Matz shows us how to manage psychological targeting and redesign the data game.
