Giulia Blasi parte da una serie di riflessioni personali da attivista in preda a un momento di sconforto per decostruire la narrazione dell'isolamento e mettersi alla ricerca di un'alternativa concreta al senso di impotenza che attraversa il nostro tempo. Il risultato è un libro che non fornisce soluzioni facili per problemi complessi ma prova a disegnare una mappa per orientarsi in un periodo di grande difficoltà collettiva, cercando una via d'uscita dal Tapinocene, l'era dell'infelicità.

When it comes to money, there are some things we all have in common: the thoughts, worries and attachments we give it. For many people, money is no longer viewed as a source of energy that can help us find the meaning in our lives, but has rather become the meaning itself. But what if it's...

The global economy is changing faster than ever. Inflation keeps rising, governments print endless money, and trust in traditional finance is fading. Amid this uncertainty, Bitcoin has emerged as digital gold, a technology that redefines what money is, how it’s created, and who controls it.

Um mergulho preciso e mordaz no mundo dos endinheirados brasileiros. Há um traço comum a boa parte dos endinheirados brasileiros: eles não se consideram ricos. Não existe um critério absoluto para a riqueza no Brasil. Sempre haverá alguém com mais dinheiro, mais pompa, mais patrimônio, mais próximo do topo da pirâmide. Logo, os ricos são sempre os outros.

'Finally, not just why but crucially how to tax the super-rich' GARY STEVENSON 'Read it, share it and let's get on with it' RUTGER BREGMAN Why do billionaires pay less tax than you?

Kennst du diese leise, nagende Stimme im Hinterkopf? Die Stimme, die dich daran erinnert, dass dein Geld auf dem Konto jedes Jahr an Wert verliert – während Inflation und steigende Preise unaufhaltsam zuschlagen.

In Great American Investments, legendary investor Charles D. Ellis reveals the fascinating stories behind the decisions that shaped America. From the Louisiana Purchase that doubled the nation's size to Land Grant Colleges that democratized education, Ellis explores how bold investments in people, land, and infrastructure transformed a young country into a land of unprecedented opportunity.

Ever wondered how “factory farms” came to be, why chicken nuggets were invented, or where the idea of feeding hormones and antibiotics to livestock came from in the first place? The Price of Plenty offers answers that may surprise you, in a compulsively listenable and distinctly American tale of abundance, invention, and exceptionalism. Historian Maureen Ogle unfolds the good, the bad, and the ugly behind the nation’s meat-making infrastructure, from colonial cattle wars to the rise of Swift, Armour, and Tyson to today’s alt-cuisine.

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.

Questo libro racconta la storia completa delle bolle speculative — economiche, tecnologiche, digitali, umane — e di come, in ogni epoca, l'umanità abbia creduto di aver trovato la scorciatoia verso la ricchezza. Dai tulipani olandesi del 1637 ai Bitcoin, dalle ferrovie vittoriane al Metaverso, dalle case della Florida alle app dell'era mobile, Storia delle corse all'oro segue passo dopo passo il meccanismo eterno dell'euforia e del crollo, mostrando come l'ingegno e l'avidità si travestano ogni volta da progresso.
