How Streaming Broke Hollywood Workers

Als wir Warren Buffett mit Abschluss von Band 3 Ende der 1990er-Jahre verließen, leitete er das größte Unternehmen Amerikas - Berkshire Hathaway - und sein persönliches Vermögen war auf 40 Milliarden Dollar angewachsen. Im Band 4 zeichnet der renommierte Investmentexperte und Buffett-Kenner Glen Arnold nach, wie Buffett Berkshire zum angesehensten Unternehmen der Welt machte. Es geht um die Investitionen Buffetts in den ersten Jahren des 21. Jahrhunderts, als Berkshire zu einem Giganten mit jährlichen Gewinnen von über acht Milliarden Dollar wurde - unter anderem um Moody's, PetroChina und Walmart. Dank Arnolds scharfsinniger Deal-Analysen können wir von Buffett lernen und selbst bessere Investoren werden.

Financial Aid through Social Work (1979) examines the way in which financial aid through social work has been used and the consequences of such use. Beginning with an examination of the historical and comparative background, the book looks at the decisions made by social workers on financial aid and the way in which they are arrived at. Among the questions examined are the extent to which there is any well-defined policy on financial aid, the overlap between the work of social work departments and other agencies, and the effect that financial aid has on the relationship between clients and social workers.

A sharp history of journalism's digital unraveling in the age of algorithms. In the past three decades, the battle between big tech and big journalism has reshaped how we consume the news. Jason Whittaker delves into how tech giants outmaneuvered traditional media companies, siphoning off advertising revenue and audience attention. As journalism struggled to adapt, social media platforms evolved from utopian public spaces into breeding grounds for misinformation and fake news, eroding public trust. The influence of billionaires further complicated the digital ecosystem, swaying public opinion and exercising direct political power, of which previous media moguls could only dream. More recently, AI has begun to revolutionize content creation, distribution, and consumption. Overall, this thirty-year period has witnessed a tangled mix of progress, contention, and disinformation. Incorporating stories about The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Times, Bloomberg, and many other media outlets from around the world, and discussing key figures and companies in big tech and AI like Facebook/Meta, Cambridge Analytica, Google, Microsoft, Twitter/X and Elon Musk, Edward Snowden, Jakob Uszkoreit, OpenAI, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and more, Whittaker provides an incisive examination of the frequently combative relations of these two industries and the uncertain future of the news in the digital age.

Routledge Library Editions: Work & Society

Originally published in 1980, this book examines a range of Government attitudes to their workers arguing that these provide the touchstone for all civil justice. The book looks at the United Nations system of Human Rights protection and the procedures of the International Labour Office (ILO) in implementing the international conventions which protect workers' rights. It also examines in detail the record of 9 countries where workers were seriously abused in the 1970s namely Chile, Czechoslovakia, Equatorial Guinea, Indonesia, Palestine, the Soviet Union, Southern Africa, Tunisia and Uruguay.

This book presents insights from the 2025 CPDP.ai international conference, where leading scholars, policy makers, and practitioners examine how Europe's fast-evolving digital frameworks shape global debates. As the EU legislates at unprecedented speed, it not only regulates technologies such as AI, but also defines their governance through rights-based instruments including the AI Act, the Data Act, and the GDPR. The chapters analyse the consolidation of the EU model of AI and data governance, covering topics such as Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments, proportionality, transparency obligations for companion chatbots, and transatlantic contrasts in AI and health-data regulation. Contributors explore how divergent legal traditions influence accountability and democratic oversight, and how emerging duties-such as the duty of loyalty in data processing-could rebalance power between citizens and infrastructures. Other chapters address data access under the Data Act, empirical supervision of algorithmic profiling, and proposals to strengthen GDPR enforcement. Opening with The World Is Watching, an artistic and philosophical reflection on perception, opacity, and the more-than-human in surveillance societies, the book bridges critical theory and regulatory practice. A dedicated Practitioners' Corner connects real-world governance experience with academic insight, highlighting pressing challenges for the year ahead. Uniting law, technology, and ethics, this interdisciplinary volume captures Europe's effort to govern AI and data infrastructures-under the close gaze of a watching world.

The World is Watching

Data Protection, Privacy and Artificial Intelligence, Volume 18

Explores the decades-long erosion of the American Dream from the author's perspective: a working-class kid who became a celebrated economist dedicated to advancing the interests of struggling workers, while also caught in the same currents of job insecurity and downward mobility as the people he aimed to defend. Worker insecurity, increasing inequality, and downward mobility in our current era contrast sharply with expanding prosperity and opportunity in the first three decades after World War II. What happened? And what can we do to revitalize the American Dream, reduce worker precarity, and foster broadly shared prosperity? In this historical account of a protracted and expanding national crisis, intertwined with a personal story about growing up in a work-obsessed family and pursuing a career devoted to addressing that crisis, Charles J. Whalen grapples with the social forces that sever the link between hard work and employment success. He exposes the obstacles that mar the path of many people seeking job opportunities and traces the fading of the American Dream, ultimately encouraging readers to take a fresh look at the current economic situation and championing a more constructive set of public policies to shape the future.

From Blue-Collar Kid to Maverick Economist, The Battle to Defend Working Families

Fighting for the American Dream

Originally published in 1964, at a time of much public unease regarding redundancy, this book contains the results of a comprehensive survey, inspired by a suggestion of the then Minister of Labour that the mass redundancies in the Midlands motor industry of 1956 merited a full-scale investigation. The findings are based on an analysis of a 1 in 10 sample of men made redundant in Birmingham in the period. Among the matters examined are the difficulties encountered in obtaining work after redundancy; the range of geographical mobility and the role played by the then employment exchanges in securing new employment. Other chapters focus on the financial hardship caused; the resort to savings and the impact of the redundancies on the gender balance in the workforce. The impact of the dismissals on trade union affiliation is also considered, as are the men's verdicts on the 'fairness' of the selection procedure adopted.

First published in 1970, Britain and America 1850-1939 is a key text for anyone seeking to trace and interpret the development of the two great trans-Atlantic economies. The authors present a comparative survey of the economic development of Britain and America.

A Study of Economic Change

Britain and America, 1850–1939

Originally published in 1988, this book examines company provision of welfare in the century preceding the Second World War, a period of enormous change in the structure and organisation of British industry and management. The creation of large-scale, corporate companies increased the need for settled, experienced company workforces and for adequate levels of industrial welfare. The paternalistic, frequently ad hoc methods associated with smaller firms were replaced with systematic schemes. This process is illustrated and discussed in 5 detailed case studies with supportive evidence from many other industries. Moreover, the political aspects of industrial welfare are not ignored. The role of employers in influencing the final form of social legislation for the benefit of their own company schemes is crucial to understanding the development of industrial welfare.

1846–1939

British Labour Management & Industrial Welfare

This book examines the origins, deployment, and legacy of Order 1305, a measure introduced in 1940 to make it a criminal offence to take part in a strike. Surprisingly, the prohibition on the right to strike was retained by the Attlee administration after the Second World War, and was transformed to become a weapon of government during the Cold War to deal with what were wrongly claimed by ministers to be Communist-inspired strikes engineered for subversive purposes. In a deep analysis of Order 1305, the authors provide a reassessment of the role of the State in industrial relations. Challenging much contemporary learning in labour law, the book is informed by a very detailed engagement with Cabinet and ministerial papers, which highlight the contradictions on the part of government in simultaneously promoting and containing trade union power. These sources also highlight the extent to which trade unions both relied on and were co-opted by the State. The main focus of the book, however, is the role of Order 1305 in the control of trade union activists, with the continuing presence of the criminal law and allegations of communist inspired strikes ensuring an important role for MI5 and Special Branch in post-war industrial relations. Material unearthed at the National Archives demonstrates unequivocally not only that trade unions were deeply penetrated, but also that trade union activists were the subject of extensive surveillance, as the authors fully reveal.
