The result of two key social developments in recent years are examined here: the partial dismantling of the welfare state and the progress of genetics. Genetic insights are increasingly valuable for risk assessment, and insurers would like to use these insights to help determine premiums. Combined with the fact that social welfare is being curtailed, this could potentially create an uninsured high-risk population. Along with considerations of autonomy and privacy, this is the basis for an ethical critique of insurer's access to information. The result has often been regulation of such information; but the authors argues that due to adverse selection, regulation will not solve these problems, and this may jeopardize the survival of private personal insurance. Instead, we should look towards the resurrection of social insurance, a key component of the welfare state. This will interest academic researchers as well as professionals involved with genetics and insurance.

Drawing on their extensive knowledge of the oil industry, Roberto F. Aguilera and Marian Radetzki provide an in-depth examination of the price of the world's most important commodity. They argue that although oil has experienced an extraordinary price increase over the past few decades, we have now reached a turning point where scarcity, uncertain supply and high prices will be replaced by abundance, undisturbed availability and suppressed price levels. They look at the potential of new global oil revolutions to bring the upward price push to an end and examine the implications of this turnaround for the world economy, as well as for politics, diplomacy, military interventions and the efforts to stabilize climate. This book will appeal to a wide readership of both academics and professionals working in the energy industry, as well as to general readers interested in the ongoing debate about oil prices.

The dramatic price falls of 2014-2015 marked the end of the most powerful and enduring commodity boom since the Second World War. Now in its third edition, this book acts as a guide to the ins and outs of the primary commodity universe. Updates to this edition reflect on the consequences of both China's economic slowdown as its industrialization enters a new, less commodity demanding phase, and changes in the USA's trade policy under the Trump administration. Additionally, this edition takes into account recent developments in world oil markets and examines the effects of increased climate concerns. The authors introduce and explain pertinent issues surrounding international commodity markets such as the global geography of raw materials, price formation, price trends, the role of commodity exchanges, the threat of depletion, cartel action, state ownership, emerging commodity nationalism and more.

Klimatpoliktiken präglas alltför ofta av tro snarare än av vetande. I denna bok ges handfasta ekonomiska analyser. Modellresultat kombineras med kvalitativa bedömningar av såväl ekonomisk som social och politisk art. Mot bakgrund av Kyotoavtalet 1997 tecknas konturerna till en ekonomiskt effektiv klimatpolitik. Författarna beräknar kostnaderna för alternativa internationella och nationella klimatpolitiska åtgärder. De pekar på anpassningar och kostnader för de företag som vållar utsläpp. Med tanke på den förvirring som präglar klimatpolitiken behandlas också den politiska beslutsprocessen för att klargöra villkoren för att rationalitet och effektivitet ska styra. Författare till boken, som är en sammanfattning av ett treårigt forskningsprojekt vid SNS, är Lars Bergman, professor vid Handelshögskolan i Stockholm och Marian Radetzki, professor i nationalekonomi vid Luleå tekniska universitet och tidigare forskningsledare vid SNS.

Det finns inte några uttömbara naturresurser som sätter gränser för mänsklighetens ambitioner och behov, skriver Marian Radetzki. Problem med bristande resurser har genom historien lösts med ny teknik och övergång från knappa till rikliga resursbaser. Kvaliteten på människans mijö har blivit bättre, inte sämre, när våra aktiviteter intensifierats genom ekonomisk tillväxt. Att formulera ett hot om en förestående domedag till följd av att resurserna sinar framstår som ett basalt mänskligt behov. Detta behov blir allt starkare med stigande välstånd. Handlingskraftiga politiker agerar ofta oreflekterat för att avvärja vad de uppfattar som en förestående resurs- och miljökollaps. Men ett växande och alltmer sofistikerat humankapital har regelbundet avvärjt sådana hot. I denna bok tydliggörs detta med en rad intressanta exempel. Marian Radetzki är professor emeritus i nationalekonomi vid Luleå tekniska universitet.

Föreställningen om domedagen som ett straff för våra synder har varit stark genom historien. Olika grupper har insett kraften i detta. Med hot om domedagen kan man frälsa människor, göra affärer och utöva makt. Denna bok tar profetiorna om resursuttömning, den globala miljöns kollaps och förestående klimatkatastrof till kritisk granskning. Den utforskar domedagsprofeternas nätverk och frågar varifrån de får sina pengar. Boken ger också exempel på hur grupper vill begränsa debatten. DN:s tidigare chefredaktör Hans Bergström uppmanar i ett kraftfullt inlägg svenska medier att värna det öppna samhället. Bokens budskap är djupt positivt. Jorden blir en allt bättre plats att leva på, och de allra flesta hot som målas upp saknar täckning i verkligheten. Jacob Nordangård är fil dr i ämnet Tema Teknik och Social förändring och arbetar som universitetsrektor vid Linköpings universitet. Marian Radetzki är professor vid Luleå tekniska universitet med naturresursernas ekonomi som specialitet. Svenolof Karlsson är bland annat energiskribent och har skrivit ett 25-tal böcker.
