341,95 kr. In Climate Shock, Gernot Wagner and Martin Weitzman explore in lively, clear terms the likely repercussions of a hotter planet, drawing on and expanding from work previously unavailable to general readers. They show that the longer we wait to act, the more likely it is that an extreme event will happen. Wagner and Weitzman help readers understand that we need to think about climate change in the same way that we think about insurance--as a risk management problem, only here on a global scale. Demonstrating that climate change can and should be dealt with--and what could happen if we don't do so--Climate Shock tackles the defining environmental and public policy issue of our time.

- Conquering Stagflation
302,95 kr. Martin L. Weitzman, one of America's leading economic theorists, has hit upon a central feature of our economic life as the cause of staflaction: the standard practice of paying workers a fixed wage, regardless of whether a company is doing well or poorly. Weitzman shows why an alternative labor payment system, in which a significant number of firms share profits revenues with their employees, provides immunity against stagflation by automatically soaking up unemployed labor and resisting inflation.
