What if everything you hate about the economy could be traced back to one simple flaw? Not inflation. Not wages. Not productivity. Land. For centuries, owning land has meant owning leverage. Not because of what you build on it — but because of where it sits. And while society creates the value of that location, only landlords reap the reward. This book is about the fix.

Entrepreneurial communities based on contracts among individuals are the most natural organization of a free society. So say Spencer Heath and Spencer MacCallum. They argue that such organizations are superior to coercion-based States. Among other advantages, they show how entrepreneurial communities would be the most efficient vehicles to supply consumers with what in economics are called "public goods."

Something has changed in the way we live. Not suddenly, not loudly — but everywhere. Our ambitions feel familiar, yet slightly rehearsed. Our pleasures are polished, but strangely thin. We keep moving upward without quite knowing who built the staircase. This book enters the rooms where status takes shape:
the gallery opening dressed as a social ritual, the office that feels like a stage set, the home improved until it resembles a photograph. It is a study of progress — and its quiet costs. A portrait of a civilisation that prizes momentum while forgetting to ask where it is headed.

AI is inescapable, from its mundane uses online to its increasingly consequential decision-making in courtrooms, job interviews, and wars. The ubiquity of AI is so great that it might produce public resignation—a sense that the technology is our shared fate. As economist Maximilian Kasy shows in The Means of Prediction, artificial intelligence, far from being an unstoppable force, is irrevocably shaped by human decisions—choices made to date by the ownership class that steers its development and deployment.

Throughout history, economies have soared to euphoric heights—only to be pulled down by the unforgiving force of financial gravity. In Greed & Gravity, David G. Stone unpacks seven of the most consequential economic disasters the world has ever seen. These were not merely accidents of policy or market misjudgments—they were catastrophes shaped by unchecked ambition, overconfidence, and willful ignorance.

Prólogo Este libro no trata de "unas pocas manzanas podridas". Se trata de una cultura donde el engaño es un modelo de negocio y la confusión una línea de productos. SCAMerica = ESTAFAmerica no es un error tipográfico. Es un diagnóstico. Cada día, los consumidores se encuentran en una tormenta de letras pequeñas, patrones oscuros, falsa urgencia y ofertas demasiado buenas para ser verdad. La estafa no es solo el correo del falso príncipe o la llamada telefónica sobre tu "garantía extendida".

Dans ce livre accessible et profondément humain, Alain Samson propose une lecture claire de ces dynamiques économiques contemporaines. Sans jargon ni culpabilisation, il explique pourquoi les écarts se creusent, comment la mobilité sociale s’est transformée, et surtout où se situent encore les marges de manœuvre.

He doesn’t breathe. He doesn’t bleed. He doesn’t age. But he can sue you, fire you, poison you, and replace you. THE MAN MADE OF PAPER is the terrifying true story of how a legal illusion became the most powerful “person” on Earth. Born from charters, shielded by law, and fed by profit, this artificial entity now owns your labor, your government, your identity, and your future. From the rise of the East India Company to the algorithmic firms of today, JJ walks step by step through the machine’s construction.

Este libro recorre la vida y el pensamiento de Adam Smith más allá de los clichés. No es solo la historia del autor de La riqueza de las naciones, sino el retrato completo de un hombre que reflexionó sobre la moral, el poder, el trabajo y las contradicciones humanas en un mundo en transformación. Desde su infancia en Escocia hasta su influencia duradera en la economía moderna, el libro muestra a un Smith complejo: crítico de los privilegios, defensor de los mercados con reglas, atento a la justicia y preocupado por los efectos morales de la riqueza.

'Pulls off the rare feat of making you laugh, think and feel like you happened upon a top secret dossier' GEOFF NORCOTT 'MONEYMANIA is a page-turner and a must read if you wonder why the world is so screwed up.' PATRICK ALLEY, author of VERY BAD PEOPLE The anonymous author of TAXTOPIA takes us...

From the collapse of empires to the rise of fiat currency, Satoshi’s Gift traces the arc of monetary history with clarity and conviction—revealing how the global financial system became fragile, manipulated, and unsustainable. In this timely and provocative book, Michael Hollomon Jr. unpacks the economic, political, and technological forces that led to Bitcoin’s creation—and makes the case that it may be our last, best chance to reclaim financial sovereignty in a world addicted to debt, inflation, and centralized control.

The Death of Homo Economicus explores the origin of this oppressive myth in order to destroy it. The story begins with the creation of a fake persona labelled the "dollar-hunting man", invented by economists Adam Smith and Friedrich Hayek. Today, this persona, driven by competition and ego, is used by politicians and managers to draw a veil over the terrible reality of work under capitalism.

The English East India Company was the mother of the modern multinational. Its trading empire encircled the globe, importing Asian luxuries such as spices, textiles and teas. But it also conquered much of India with its private army and broke open China's markets with opium. The Company’s practices shocked its contemporaries and still reverberate today. This expanded edition explores how the four forces of scale, technology, finance and regulation drove its spectacular rise and fall.

Can you imagine even the poorest country in the world achieving the prosperity and quality of life of today's Switzerland—by 2100? Seems crazy, doesn't it? After all, we live in uncertain times. But we have pulled off marvels before. Human advances over the past 100 years have been unprecedented. Can we achieve another century of progress? This book, a major research effort from the McKinsey Global Institute, explores the advances of the past century and what drove them—what we call the progress machine.

In underserved communities across the United States, violence, food insecurity, unstable housing, lead poisoning, and other factors such as racist redlining policies negatively impact young people's everyday experiences―and their futures. What opportunities are available to young Black people living in these neighborhoods? What are their survival expectations? Who can they look to for support? Lorece V. Edwards offers a thought-provoking and timely account of the day-to-day experience of living in America's neglected neighborhoods.

What if your job disappeared without anyone admitting it was ever a job at all? Welcome to the gig economy: a labor system built on loopholes, powered by apps, and sold as freedom. From Uber and DoorDash to Amazon Flex and Instacart, millions of people are working without being called workers with no benefits, no protections, and no boss to complain to when something goes wrong. In THE GIG ECONOMY, JJ exposes how tech companies rewrote the rules of work. This isn’t a book about the future of labor, it’s about the present we’ve already allowed.

In this radically optimistic climate change book, find yourself empowered to achieve sustainable living across every facet of your life—the personal, the professional, and the political. What We Can Do provides a practical, data-based approach to guide listeners toward environmental impact across three key aspects of their lives: their daily choices, their careers, and their communities.

Neighbors vacation and travel via exemptions from work. They refer to the exemptions as pensions and the issue them to themselves. They send the bill to you. In the private sector one is not compensated now for work done in the past. Women have a nagging suspicion that they are still limited by hidden arrangements. It is difficult to give these arrangements a name. In The Coverture Arrangement Veil, Chuck Goodness RN uses a lens molded from 30 years at the bedside to remove the veil of obscurity from what narratives cloak.
