THIS ERA OF BLACK ACTIVISM (2023)
This Era of Black Activism addresses a multitude of issues in a wide array of frames and settings. The book primarily focuses on the ways that black activism has engaged with contemporary spaces and systems while drawing on the important historical context that black activism has provided throughout American history.
Edith co-edited the edited volume and contributed to the introductory chapter and the last chapter entitled “From Dehumanization to Repair: The Long Road Through Death, Poverty, Protests, and Policy to Rebuild the Social Contract”.
PRepared U (2017)
How can we as parents, educators, and members of the business community prepare students to be successful leaders in today's global environment? It's a critically important question. Gloria Cordes Larson, president of Bentley University, explains why today's practices in higher education are inadequate preparation for our rapidly evolving innovation economy. Instead, she passionately advocates for a hybrid-learning model that integrates business education with traditional liberal arts courses.

WHY Trade matters (2014)
In this policy brief, Miriam Sapiro explores the economic rationale and strategic imperative of an ambitious domestic and global trade agenda from the perspective of the United States. International trade is often viewed through the relatively narrow prism of trade-offs that might be made among domestic sectors or between trading partners, but it is important to consider also the impact that increased trade has on global growth, development and security.

ReFlections on Progress: Essays on the Global Economy (2016)
Is the world giving up on the promise of ever-greater prosperity for all, on functioning democratic institutions, and on long-term peace? Is the special set of circumstances that led to the recent rapid growth in emerging markets unlikely to be present in the future? Will the second decade of the twenty-first century end with “secular stagnation”? Does the rise of authoritarianism, populism, and fanatic nihilism—all experienced over the last few years—threaten to unravel what has been built painstakingly since the catastrophe of World War II?
Kemal Derviş, with “invaluable assistance” from Edith answers these questions and more.
Europe’s Crisis, Europe’s Future (2014)
Can the eurozone’s emergence from crisis turn into a real economic recovery and a new vision for Europe’s future? Or is Europe heading for a “lost decade” in terms of growth and a rise in old style nationalism? Kemal Derviş and Jacques Mistral have assembled an international group of economic analysts who provide perspectives on the most audacious supranational governance experiment in history. Will the crisis mark the end of the dream of “ever closer union” or lead to a renewed impetus to integrate, perhaps taking novel forms?
Edith provided assistance for the overall book as well as in-depth analysis for Chapter 8.
Think Tank 20 (2014)
Kemal Dervis and Homi Kharas, in cooperation with Edith and Karim Foda, discuss growth, convergence, and the income distribution. Their chapter outlines their understanding of the possibility of secular stagnation in advanced economies, the convergence of emerging and developing economies, and context on the income distribution.
G20 Summit at Five: Time FOr Strategic Thinking (2014)
Five years after the inception of the Leaders level G-20, it is anticipated that 2014 will be a year of overall global recovery. What next for the G-20 Summit? Editors Kemal Derviş and Peter Drysdale assembled this book with the expectation that the leaders will indeed see 2014 as an opportunity to address longer term challenges and to transform the G-20 from a “crisis committee” into a “steering committee” for the world economy, making it part of a lasting and useful feature of global economic governance.
Edith provided assistance, research, and comments that produced the final version of this publication. Her work is mentioned in Chapter 1.
