They pull the regulatory and financial levers of our economic well-being, yet unlike democratically elected leaders, their power does not come directly from the people. \u003ci\u003eUnelected Power\u003c\/i\u003e lays out the principles needed to ensure that central bankers, technocrats, regulators, and other agents of the administrative state remain stewards of the common good and do not become overmighty citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePaul Tucker draws on a wealth of personal experience from his many years in domestic and international policymaking to tackle the big issues raised by unelected power. He enriches his discussion with examples from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and the European Union. Blending economics, political theory, and public law, Tucker explores the necessary conditions for delegated but politically insulated power to be legitimate in the eyes of constitutional democracy and the rule of law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe explains why the solution must fit with how real-world government is structured, and why technocrats and their political overseers need incentives to make the system work as intended. Tucker elaborates on how the regulatory state need not be a fourth branch of government free to steer by its own lights, and how central bankers can emulate the best of judicial self-restraint and become models of dispersed power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike it or not, unelected power has become a hallmark of modern government. This critically important book shows how to harness it to the people's purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46481729421548,"sku":"9780691176734","price":68.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1754483482434.jpg?v=1748214993"},{"product_id":"global-discord-by-paul-tucker-9780691232089","title":"Global Discord","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to sustain an international system of cooperation in the midst of geopolitical struggle.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCan the international economic and legal system survive today's fractured geopolitics? Democracies are facing a drawn-out contest with authoritarian states that is entangling much of public policy with global security issues. In \u003cem\u003eGlobal Discord\u003c\/em\u003e, Paul Tucker lays out principles for a sustainable system of international cooperation, showing how democracies can deal with China and other illiberal states without sacrificing their deepest political values. Drawing on three decades as a central banker and regulator, Tucker applies these principles to the international monetary order, including the role of the U.S. dollar, trade and investment regimes, and the financial system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombining history, economics, and political and legal philosophy, Tucker offers a new account of international relations. Rejecting intellectual traditions that go back to Hobbes, Kant, and Grotius, and deploying instead ideas from David Hume, Bernard Williams, and modern mechanism-design economists, Tucker describes a new kind of political realism that emphasizes power and interests without sidelining morality. Incentives must be aligned with values if institutions are to endure. The connecting tissue for a system of international cooperation, he writes, should be legitimacy, creating a world of concentric circles in which we cooperate more with those with whom we share the most and whom we fear the least.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is an important book.\u003c\/strong\u003e — Martin Wolf, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmbitious and illuminating.\u003c\/strong\u003e — Niall Ferguson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362594373868,"sku":"9780691232089","price":57.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3b32763851e0b611c5cc19ba3f29e64d.jpg?v=1772937512"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/paul-tucker.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
