Timely, compelling, and certain to be controversial—a deeply researched study that reveals how companies and policy makers are hindering innovation-led growthConventional wisdom holds that Western economies are on the threshold of fast-and-furious technological development. Fredrik Erixon and Bjorn Weigel refute this idea, bringing together a vast array of data and case studies to tell a very different story.With expertise spanning academia and the business world, Erixon and Weigel illustrate how innovation is being hampered by existing government regulations and corporate practices. Capitalism, they argue, has lost its mojo. Assessing the experiences of global companies, including Nokia, Uber, IBM, and Apple, the authors explore three key themes: declining economic dynamism in Western economies; growing corporate reluctance to contest markets and innovate; and excessive regulation limiting the diffusion of innovation. At a time of low growth, high unemployment, and increasing income inequality, innovation-led growth is more necessary than ever. This book unequivocally details the obstacles hindering our future prosperity.

In light of the Eurozone crisis and the growth of Asian economies, have new challenges emerged for the relations between nations in these regions? As the Asian consumer class grows and its culture globalizes, what does this mean for the export of Eurocentric values and norms? And what does the future hold for the economic, political, and cultural policies between these two powerful regions?This book explores the relationship between European and emerging Asian economies, as globalization changes the international economic and political landscape. Reflecting on past interactions and possibilities for the future, the book brings together Asian and European perspectives from former politicians, diplomats, and academic experts to examine questions around trade and security, rights and climate change, identity clashes, and the colonial legacy. The book is a timely consideration of highly topical questions that will shape international politics in the twenty-first century.

Staten är tillbaka i centrum av den politiska debatten. Samtidigt som offentliga åtaganden, befogenheter och utgifter växer i spåren av coronakrisen har staten misslyckats med flera grundläggande uppgifter. För en del väcks nu drömmen om den stora statens återkomst.  Är staten en del av lösningen eller en del av problemet? Vad innebär det egentligen att staten ska prioritera sina kärnuppgifter? Och måste den starka staten också vara den stora staten? I Bortom den stora staten lyfter några av Sveriges främsta skribenter och tänkare blicken och resonerar kring statens möjligheter och begränsningar. Med texter av Nicklas Berild Lundblad, Joakim Broman, Fredrik Erixon, Stefan Fölster, Alexandra Ivanov, Joakim Nergelius, Karin Pihl, Nima Sanandaji, Karin Svanborg-Sjövall och Mattias Svensson.
