Economic Growth and Societal Collapse:
Beyond Green Growth and Degrowth Fairy Tales.
“This book addresses humanity’s fateful struggle with excessive success in a deep and different manner. I have previously moved from being a Cornucopian to a modified Malthusian but this book is now moving me towards a third possibility - collapse as a feature not a bug of complex society”. - Professor Christopher L. Magee, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
Artificial Intelligence: Economic Perspectives and Models
"‘Could AI be a game changer for economics and the economy? This is the main question that this book examines in depth. The authors have managed to keep the language accessible to various audiences without forgetting technical rigor. The analysis of AI, from both the consumer and producer sides, points out possible ways for humanity to take advantage of the new opportunities opened up by this new technology while avoiding its risks.' - Professor Tiago Neves Sequeira, University of Coimbra
‘This book presents a very thorough discussion of the connections between artificial intelligence and the economy, with a refreshing forward-looking perspective. It covers fundamentals, important implications of digital technologies on societal aspects, innovation, and policy. I completely agree with the authors' statement ‘[big data] can better inform policy makers for a positive impact on their actions and citizens' well-being,' and strongly recommend this piece to help navigate a future enhanced by artificial intelligence.' - Professor Ricardo Vinuesa - KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden and vice director of the KTH Digitalization Platform

Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurship and Conflict
“‘In an era rife with conflict throughout every level of society, this pathbreaking Handbook paves important new ground in analyzing how entrepreneurship can be both a positive response but also a concerning trigger for conflict. This Handbook draws on a broad spectrum of expert authors spanning a diverse range of backgrounds and scholarly fields to shed new light on the links between entrepreneurship and conflict. This is a must read not just for entrepreneurship scholarship but for all of the social sciences and thought leaders concerned with the stability and sustainability of democratic society.”
-Professor David B. Audretsch, Indiana University, USA
The End of the Empire that Entrepreneurship Built: How Seven Sources of Rot will Undo the West
The End of the Empire that Entrepreneurship Built argues that concerns about the collapse of the West need to be taken seriously and that there are at least seven sources of rot that affect how entrepreneurship, the builder of the West, continues to play a role in shaping society. To identify and analyze the sources of this rot, this monograph takes a somewhat different approach than has been taken so far in the literature by drawing parallels between the rot affecting the West and the rot that caused the collapse of the Soviet Unio
