The current research paper identifies the current dynamics in the oil price-stock market nexus to provide a research overview and suggest further research directions. We used bibliometrix R package to examine 684 studies to identify research trends in oil price shocks, stock market returns, and volatility spillover effects. We recognize the most influential authors, publications, and research institutions and their significance within the current scientific literature. We further analyzed research themes to observe impediments in the existing literature and suggest new research directions to summarize that disaggregated sectoral analysis and meta-analysis approach by including moderator analysis will broaden the research contribution in the future. Lastly, we conclude our investigation by identifying new research avenues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Additionally, considering the relatively long history of the EU ETS, the book may provide insights to other carbon markets worldwide by delineating the contradictions of carbon markets. I Carbon Markets in a Climate-Changing Capitalism i argues that the fossil fuel industry has exercised excessive influence over the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS); this influence inhibits the beneficial role of the world's largest carbon market in addressing the climate crisis. Carbon markets, imposing a price on the carbon content of fossil fuels, are feasible and durable tools to control carbon emissions, despite political challenges (Rabe [2]).

Editor's Note Our policy is to annotate all English-language books on economics and related subjects that are sent to us.

This article reviews the book "Militancy, Market Dynamics, and Workplace Authority: The Struggle Over Labor Process Outcomes in the U.S. Automobile Industry, 1946-1973," by James R. Zetka Jr.

"Monetarism" as exemplified mainly in the writings of Friedman, Brunner and Meltzer, and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis has found a lively and enthusiastic advocate in James Meigs' Money Matters. While there is some question about the intended audience, the book is presumably aimed primarily at laymen with a well-developed interest in economics and probably one or two undergraduate courses in macro-economics somewhere in their past. Clearly the book is not addressed to monetary economists. With perhaps one exception, all the major, and most of the minor themes reflect the most orthodox strain of monetarist thinking and thus are already quite familiar. No significant new empirical evidence is presented, and there is little real critical examination of this evidence or of the theoretical underpinnings of the monetarist ideas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
