It is quite striking how many publications that seemed to make a contribution to the economics literature when printed become forgotten just a few years after that event. One may argue that this reflects the inability of economics to propose definite and precise laws governing people’s economic behaviour. However, it can also be hypothesised that the lack of such laws is caused by the constant evolution of the subject being studied, i.e., people’s economic activity. This is because that activity, in any given period, largely focuses on areas that a few decades or even a few years ago did not exist, or were of marginal importance. The current issue of Economics and Business Review supports this hypothesis, as it addresses the topics of ageing societies, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the export of services, Industry 4.0, and, predominantly, environmental responsibility. In other words, the set of nine articles that make up the current issue deals with topics that have only recently come to prominence in the economics literature. These nine articles, written by eighteen authors working in India, Indonesia, Japan, Morocco, Poland, and Tunisia, are briefly summarised below.
