The Human Development Report (HDR) is a flagship publication by the UN Development Programme and the fact that it puts the Anthropocene at the heart of its most recent report is not trivial. “It is people, not trees, whose future choices have to be protected” affirmed the first Human Development Report, published in 1990. So, […]
Does public debt secure social peace? A diversionary theory of public debt management [PDF]Abstract: This paper develops a new analysis of the strategic use of public debt.
