Environmental Policy and Market Structure (Economics, Energy and Environment, Vol 4) Carlo Carraro, Yiannis Katsoulacos, Anastasios Xepapadeas
One of the central tenets of this book is that governmental policies must be designed to take into account market characteristics and environmental phenomena -- simultaneously.

The articles in this volume were chosen to achieve a balance between breadth and depth and were written by leading experts in the field. In short, this book is rich in policy implications and raises new issues and questions for future research....

THE EMPTY CRADLE: How Falling Birthrates Threaten World Prosperity And What to Do About It Phillip Longman
A controversial argument that reduced fertility and global aging threaten world prosperity, jeopardize national economies, and will change our way of life for decades to come. Overpopulation has long been a global concern. But between modern medicineand reduced fertility, world population may in fact be shrinking--and is almost certain to do so by the time today's children retire. The troubling implications for our economy and culture include: * The possibility of a fundamentalist revival due tothe decline of secular fertility * The threat to the free market as the supply of workers and consumers declines * The eventual collapse of the American health care system as inordinate expenses are incurred by an aging population. Phillip Longman's uncompromisingly sensible solutions fly in the face of traditional ideas. State intervention is necessary, he argues, to combat the effects of an aging population.

Dynamics of Markets: Econophysics and Finance Joseph L. McCauley
Standard texts and research in economics and finance ignore the absence of evidence from the analysis of real, unmassaged market data to support the notion of Adam Smith's stabilizing Invisible Hand. In stark contrast, this text introduces a new empirically-based model of financial market dynamics that explains the volatility of prices options correctly and clarifies the instability of financial markets. The emphasis is on understanding how real markets behave, not how they hypothetically 'should' behave....
