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.

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.

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.

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.

In ihrem neuen Hörbuch konfrontiert Claudia Kemfert uns mit den heute neu gestellten klimapolitischen Fragen und deckt auf, wo Mythen gefährliche Realitäten verschleiern.

Ein Hörbuch für alle, die sich der Illusion verweigern, dass es noch einfache Antworten gibt. Klima und Wirtschaft lassen sich nicht gegeneinander ausspielen.

This edition of Super Imperialism is the finalized version of the analysis that Michael Hudson first published in the wake of President Nixon severing the dollar's link to gold in August 1971. Closing the gold window had been imminent since the London Gold Pool was disbanded in 1968 in response to the U.S. overseas military spending that had pushed the balance of payments into steadily deepening deficit since the Korean War (1950-51).

This timely collection of essays and journalism - published together for the first time - spans two turbulent decades.

In the 1980s, countries across Asia stunned the world with meteoric economic growth—but when eyes turn to Africa today, it is often to lament corruption, violence, and poverty rather than to scout the next developmental frontrunners. Yet some African nations, even in the face of challenging geography and the crippling legacies of colonialism, have found remarkable success.

Crash the Fed exposes how this illusion was built—and how easily it can be dismantled. When a private banking cartel can print money at will, the only way to take away its power is to stop giving that money value. You don’t need politicians to “end the Fed.” You don’t need another election. You just need to understand how their system works—and how to walk away from it.

The dark horse of the New World Order was never Communism, Socialism or Fascism: It has always been Technocracy! Started in the 1930s, re-introduced by the Trilateral Commission in 1973 as the “New International Economic Order,” Technocrats have staged a sweeping coup d’état in plain sight in Washington, DC. during the Trump presidency. The Dark Enlightenment wants to turn us into a monarchy. Tokenization is flipping us into an asset-based economic system where you “will own nothing”. AI is shoving us into a digital Gulag.

The Protocol of Greatness follows the rise of 100 AI+crypto startups from across the globe—united by a shared cultural operating system inspired by the book Greatness. From chaotic Twitter DMs to global DAOs, these founders build, clash, and scale through red tape, cultural tension, and fundraising drama. As they evolve, they reject traditional playbooks, forging decentralized paths rooted in purpose, participation, and local values. The story culminates in the birth of The Cloud IPO—not a company, but the first Global DAO: a borderless, lore-driven protocol for human coordination.

They say we’re broke. They say taxes are necessary. But the richest people on Earth don’t pay them and never have. This book exposes the quiet engine behind modern inequality: the global tax system, gutted by design. The billionaires didn’t cheat the rules. They wrote them. And while you pay more every year in rent, bills, and invisible fees, they move their money through shell companies, offshore trusts, and loopholes hidden in plain sight. Off the Books is not a theory.

Die Welt steht an einem Scheideweg: Die alte internationale Ordnung zerbricht, doch statt einer gerechteren Alternative drohen sozialdarwinistische Machtkämpfe mit unvorhersehbaren Konsequenzen. Während westliche Staaten noch immer auf ihre überholten Regeln pochen, stellen sich die Länder des globalen Südens zunehmend gegen ein System, das sie jahrzehntelang benachteiligt hat. Patrick Kaczmarczyk liefert eine schonungslose Bestandsaufnahme der globalen Wirtschaftspolitik und ihrer Fehlentwicklungen.

Taylor Swift and Beyoncé aren't just pop megastars. They are working women whose astounding accomplishments defy patriarchal norms. And while not all women can be Rihanna or Dolly Parton or Reese Witherspoon, their successes help us understand the central role of everyday women in today's economy. Swiftynomics assesses the complex economic lives of American women. Drawing insights from pathbreakers like Taylor Swift, Misty Heggeness digs into the data, revealing women's hidden contributions and aspirations—the unexamined value they create by following their own ambitions.

In Capital Offence award-winning investor Paul Musson shows how the world is becoming increasingly divided on many fronts. One of the root causes of this is that well-intended policymakers have drunk the something-from-nothing Kool-Aid and are convinced that there is such a thing as a free lunch. There isn't. They believe that debt-fueled spending is what leads to economic prosperity. It doesn't.
