F. Scott Fitzgerald published America's favorite novel, The Great Gatsby, at the young age of twenty-eight. Despite this extraordinary early achievement, Fitzgerald finished just one novel in the next (and last) fifteen years of his life, ending as a mostly unemployed Hollywood screenwriter. Taking Things Hard reveals the story behind the now-iconic Gatsby, along with Fitzgerald's struggle to write anything that matched its brilliance. Robert ...

Belarus, although frequently overlooked in the West, is a country critical to the development of the post-Soviet states and to Europe as a whole. Its location alone -- bordering Russia, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine -- points to its importance as a major geopolitical player. On top of that, the ambitions of its president mean that Belarus will likely have a say in the future of Russia, Ukraine, and other neighboring states. To address what, to...

This volume rethinks the classic question of what, how and for whom economics is produced. Drawing from a range of perspectives it casts fresh light on the relationship between the producers and consumers of economic knowledge.

Breaks down the varied barriers that have been erected to economic pluralism. This book is suitable for economists and for those economics academics with an open mind.

A provocatively rethink of the questions of what, how and for whom economics is produced.
