The Art, Science, and Business of Sustainable Finance

Good, Evil, Wicked

Over the last two decades, Pakistan has seen major legislative changes in the area of gender-based violence. This book explores the impact and ongoing influence of these changes. A frequent refrain in political and social commentary in Pakistan is that these laws, while transformative on paper, have not translated to actual change in the lives of women and girls because of poor implementation. Through analysis of court cases, data on criminal proceedings, and interviews with activists and survivors, this book demonstrates how the impact of progressive laws is influenced by entrenched social norms and structural flaws in state institutions, especially the criminal justice system. Sara Malkani sheds light on limitations of the formal justice system while showing how law reform can create openings for activists to pursue gender justice.

Progressive Laws in Patriarchal Societies

This is the updated and expanded edition of the only radical, multidisciplinary, international introduction to intellectual property in its socio-economic contexts. Bringing together voices from law, sociology, economics, political science, and cultural studies from across the Global North and Global South, experts and activists Mat Callahan and Jim Rogers offer a detailed history and analysis of IP before asking critical questions designed to underscore its importance in the broader struggle between capital and the commons. What are the broader implications of IP, whether for agribusiness, pharmaceuticals, education, or entertainment? Is IP law a fundamental pillar of our culture, or has it been used to protect and assert the ownership of, and thus limit, the spread of ideas and creativity? With a chapter structure moving from historical and theoretical foundations to industry-specific conflicts and policy analysis, this book covers the breadth and depth of IP areas, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, as well as emerging issues such as digital rights and biotechnology. Key features include: - voluminous, up-to-date case studies, both Western and non-Western; - an extensive, jargon-busting list of abbreviations of specialized or technical terms; - a new chapter on copyright and socialism; - revisions and updates accounting for the seismic impacts of artificial intelligence. This is a foundational must-read for all researchers, students, and activists interested in critical analyses of IP laws and policies--not just their legal frameworks, but also their broader social, economic, and political implications.

A Radical Guide to the Past, Present, and Future of the Ownership of Ideas

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Own Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Own Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

How Corporations Built Our Choices and Sold Our Freedom

Choose Your Own Captivity

What works-and what doesn't-when companies try to do goodCan companies really be "socially responsible"-and should they try? This debate is newly urgent as consumers, employees, and investors push companies to take a stand on everything from climate change to inequality. In this lively and clear-eyed book, economist Ray Fisman cuts through the rhetoric around "doing well by doing good" to show what actually changes corporate behavior and what doesn't-and what corporations should really do if they have society's interests at heart. He will answer questions many of us may be asking:¿ Will consumers pay more for eco-friendly products? ¿ Will employees work harder if they're paid a living wage? ¿ Do ESG (environmental, social, and governance) funds make a difference? ¿ Should you pay more for fair-trade coffee at your local café? (Yes, you should.)Drawing on decades of evidence, Fisman examines which approaches to corporate responsibility make a genuine difference-and which are cheap talk, or worse. The result is a practical framework for understanding the tradeoffs between profit and purpose, recognizing which efforts to do good are likely to succeed, and how your choices can push companies to do better.

The Economics of Making Business Do the Greatest Good

The Model Company

Bringing together poets, visual artists and professionals editing and publishing within the genre, this collection showcases the craft, practices and influences of those creating multimodal poetry today. Pairing examples and discussions of writers' work with craft essays by them and exercises to help writers develop their own ways of combining poetry with multimedia, A Maker's Guide to Multimodal Poetry is both a catalyst for creativity and a practical guide to exploring the vast potential of multimodal literature. Beyond describing the tools and composition processes used to create their works, from how to blend different mediums, synthesize text and visuals, experiment with sound and rhythm, and embrace interactivity, poets, artists and students also outline the literary and aesthetic concepts that helped them traverse disciplines from visual arts and digital media to performance art. With exploration of a broad range of forms and methods, the essays discuss audio-modality, image-text hybrids, erasure, musical poetry and musical influence, alphanumeric translations, lyrical improvisation, neo-concrete poetry, using the archive and found poetry, mythic imaginings and the use of tactile experience. Offering a roadmap for navigating uncharted creative frontiers, this book defines the field of multimodal poetics whilst sparking a plethora of new ideas and approaches to poetry making.

A Writer's Guide to Multimodal Poetry

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

It is seldom, if ever, that readers and writers see the different stages of a piece of writing in progress. In this unique volume, 16 of the US's most distinguished writers pull back the curtain on their creative and revision processes whilst drafting their works of creative nonfiction. Using side-by-side examples of first drafts and final versions of their writing, including original full-page reproductions from the writers' personal notebooks, an original, illuminating essay accompanies each draft that recounts the journey from inspiration to completion. Offering a generous insight into the creative process from the rough bold strokes to refined, clear, elegant prose, this behind-the-scenes look delves into the creative minds of working writers, including African American, Latino, Asian American, and indigenous writers from across the US. An invaluable resource for students and instructors looking to enliven the classroom or just offering practicing writers a peak into the processes of their peers, this book presents the false starts and missteps, the self-editing, tinkering, cutting, rearranging, and craft working writers make in the plight for perfectly polished prose. With nothing like it on the market, The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction is an enlightening and unparalleled collection of modern-day creativity in action, a must have for aspiring writers and teachers of all levels.
