Andree M: Big Tech Must Go!

Big Tech Must Go!

Digital Giants are Destroying our Democracies and Economies – We Will Stop Them

Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Banking and Financial Institutions

This book provides a rigorous examination of the green bond market and its interaction with the banking sector. Over the past decade, green bonds have grown rapidly and become a central instrument in sustainable finance. Despite this expansion, existing research remains fragmented across regulatory discussions, descriptive market analyses, and empirical pricing studies. Moreover, limited attention has been devoted to banks, even though they represent a major issuer category and play a structurally different role from that of corporate and sovereign issuers. The book first describes the institutional evolution of the green bond market, clarifying the role of market-based standards, reporting frameworks, and external review mechanisms. It then maps the market's structure, examining issuance trends, issuer composition, financial characteristics, and use-of-proceeds patterns. A dedicated chapter investigates the pricing of bank-issued green bonds, assessing whether environmental labelling is associated with measurable yield differentials within the banking sector. Finally, the analysis extends to the role of banks in sustainable finance, discussing green bond funding, sustainable lending, regulatory metrics such as the Green Asset Ratio, and climate-related supervisory frameworks. By combining regulatory analysis, bond-level evidence, and an institutional perspective, the book shows how green bonds operate within capital markets and how banks engage with them. It will be of interest to scholars in banking and sustainable finance, graduate students in finance and economics, and practitioners and policymakers concerned with green capital markets.

The Future of Private Law

This open access book explores the relationship between consumer law and global value chains (GVCs). Conceptually rigorous, it analyses EU approaches to regulation and to consumer policy oriented to safety, sustainability and market regulation. In so doing, it throws the disconnect between GVCs and consumer law into sharp relief. In response, the author argues that GVCs are a plausible venue for reconsidering consumers as regulatory actors in the global economy. This would enable both consumer protection and EU's decentralised social ordering (based on private regulation) to be accommodated. Innovative and thought-provoking, this is an important contribution to debates on EU consumer law. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Many people remain unaware of the scale and urgency of Africa’s food crisis, in part because current
 
 policies fail to capture its full complexity. This crisis is shaped by a tangled web of natural and human-
 
 made factors, and without a comprehensive, systems-level approach, meaningful solutions remain out
 
 of reach. Tackling this involves concentrated policies that go beyond technical fixes—it demands
 
 coordinated efforts that bridge sectors, disciplines, and national borders.
 
 Using the metaphor of the Gordian Knot to underscore just how intricate and entrenched the problem
 
 has become, this book examines environmental and climatic challenges. The first section of the book
 
 includes chapters dealing with the natural factors for the crisis, and the second section will encompass
 
 chapters addressing human-made factors, such as political, economic, and social drivers. Each chapter
 
 includes targeted policy recommendations grounded in current research.
 
 Weaving together interdisciplinary research and analysis, the book offers actionable insights and
 
 opportunities to address the manmade and environmental problems, furthering the food crisis in Africa
 
 today.

Born from a desire for creative freedom, web series often circumvent screen industry gatekeepers and attract smaller, niche audiences; but fewer views do not necessarily make the format, or its audience engagement, less valuable. This book looks behind the scenes to uncover how and why audiences engaged with nine Australian web series released between 2020 and 2023. Interviews with web series producers reveal their motivations, audience acquisition and maintenance strategies, funding methods, and platform specific approaches. These first-hand accounts are then compared with viewership metrics and the content of audience commentary, resulting in the illumination of social, cultural, and industrial values of audience engagement with these innovative productions. This book identifies key factors that influence audience behaviours such as perceived authenticity, platform choice, and the types, forms, and costs of engaging with web series. These factors are considered with respect to online community building, relationships between creators and audiences, and commercial uses of the format, resulting in the creation of a typology of web series audiences. Readers benefit from understanding the value and characteristics of each type of viewer across a diverse range of examples featuring differing audience demographics, zero to over $1 million budgets, and platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. Vibrant narratives are used to convey each series' backstory, providing an informative and engaging reading experience for screen industry practitioners, marketing and broadcast professionals, and aspiring filmmakers. Academics and students in the fields of media studies, audience engagement, screen production, creative labour and entrepreneurship, social media, and algorithmic culture will also benefit from this research.

Economics is vital, but its labyrinth of equations can make it feel disconnected from the real world. Enter a powerful tool: the metaphor.From longtime economics journalist Peter Coy comes an approachable and fun guide to the metaphors that unlock its power. With nearly 500 alphabetized entries, complemented by playful illustrations, Economics Without Numbers demystifies concepts, exploring their origins, the truths they express, and where they fall short. The result is a delightful and original primer on economic ideas and history that's perfect for students and anyone who wants to understand what makes the world go 'round.Coy has spent decades collecting these vivid metaphors. From "trickle-down economics" (the idea that making the rich richer will help the poor) to "inductivist turkey" (a parable about the perils of assuming that a trend will persist without knowing its cause), Coy brings economics to life.

Writing Human in the Age of AI

'An excellent look at what Palantir does, as well as a fascinating insight into the mind of its eccentric chief executive' TelegraphPalantir Technologies is the most interesting company in the world -&nbsp;and the most controversial.&nbsp;Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the U.S. government in the war on terrorism - an early investor was the CIA - Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the U.S. military, the National Health Service in England, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to healthcare to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the twenty-first century.&nbsp;Its billionaire CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he's a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir's work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp's close friend and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel.&nbsp;In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger is the first to tell the story of Alex Karp and Palantir from the beginning. Steinberger offers new biographical details and a rich psychological portrait of the man leading one of the world's most secretive companies. Full of revelations, this is an urgent and insightful book about technological power, the surveillance state and the future we all face.

"2552. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117--the Master Chief--and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew's only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground"--Back cover.

The bestselling adaptation of the iconic video game Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series! 2552. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117—the Master Chief—and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew’s only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground. But they soon discover that this enigmatic ringworld is much more than it seems. Built one hundred thousand years ago by a long-lost civilization known as the Forerunners, this “Halo” is worshipped by the Covenant—a sacred artifact they hope will complete their religious quest for supposed transcendence, and they will stop at nothing to control it. Engaging in fierce combat, Master Chief and Cortana will go deep into the Halo construct and uncover its dark secret and true purpose—even as a monstrous and far more vicious enemy than the Covenant emerges to threaten all sentient life on Halo and the galaxy beyond…
