Zanini A: Economic Philosophy

Economic Philosophy

Economic Foundations and Political Categories

What happens when people grow up believing that privilege is natural, wealth is virtue, and the rules are for everyone else? Discover the must-read insider's account of the 1%, the shocking true story of life as a nanny to the super-rich.'I could not put it down. The most compelling read of the year' PHILIPPA PERRY 'A compulsive read. Enraging, horrifying and utterly gripping' SABINE DURRANT 'A glimpse into the terminally messed up lives of the billionaire class and their offspring ... Gripping' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN 'Written with fierce precision and filled with disturbing details, this book is urgent and essential reading' HANNAH MURRAY****The perfect nanny is invisible. She is trusted with everything: the children, their routines, the family secrets. She is expected to notice everything and remember nothing.For more than a decade, the Unnamed Nanny worked for some of the richest families in the world. She travelled on private jets, stayed on vast estates and luxury yachts, and helped raise children whose lives were planned years in advance. She saw separate apartments for young children; staff who were expected to disappear; parents who believed there was no problem that money couldn't solve.She was paid to look after the children. She was expected to look away from everything else. But everyone has their limits to what they can witness and remain silent. She found hers the hard way.Part memoir, part exposé, The Unnamed Nanny is an anonymous account of raising the children of the ultra-rich - and what really happens behind the closed doors of the 1%.The families remain anonymous.So must she.

An Insider's Account of Raising the 1%

The Unnamed Nanny

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet?This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement.Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature.Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.

Hope in a Ruined World

Dark Socialism

Advances in Financial Economics

Advances in Financial Economics, Volume 22 - The Many Faces of Corporate Finance - offers a timely, authoritative exploration of contemporary corporate financial decision-making in an increasingly complex global environment. Moving beyond the traditional boundaries of capital structure, dividends, and investment policy, the volume brings together cutting-edge research spanning corporate governance, international corporate finance, the corporate-political interface, and behavioural and cultural influences on financial decisions. By situating firms within the broader institutional, political, and international ecosystems in which they operate, the contributions collectively demonstrate how modern corporate finance is shaped by forces that transcend conventional analytical frameworks. Distinguished by its integrative approach, the volume consolidates high-quality theoretical and empirical scholarship that connects previously siloed areas of research. Emphasising methodological innovation and the use of novel data, it revisits foundational questions with fresh rigor while addressing emerging issues such as shareholder activism, regulatory change, and executive behavioural biases. At once cohesive and wide-ranging, this volume advances a more holistic understanding of corporate financial management and provides an essential resource for scholars, advanced students, and practitioners seeking insight into the evolving landscape of corporate finance.

The Many Faces of Corporate Finance

Klimawandel, Digitalisierung und technologische Revolution haben die globale Wirtschaftsordnung tiefgreifend verändert. Unsicherheit und Ängste treffen dabei auf eine zunehmende Konzentration finanzieller und politischer Macht. Genau in diesem Spannungsfeld findet der Rechtspopulismus seinen Nährboden. Auf die Märkte blickt der Rechtspopulismus durch die Brille der Macht. Das gilt vor allem für den globalen Handel. Es geht nicht um fairen Wettbewerb, sondern um Durchsetzung nationalistischer Interessen. An die Stelle globaler Kooperation treten geopolitische Konflikte. Diese Logik prägt auch die Binnenwirtschaft, wenn wirtschaftliche Macht genutzt wird, um unliebsame Gruppen unter Druck zu setzen. 
Gustav Horn stellt diesem Konfliktmodell eine kooperative Wirtschaftspolitik entgegen. Im Mittelpunkt steht ein aufgeklärter Protektionismus im EU-Außenhandel, der schützt, aber nicht abschottet. Dazu gehört die Kooperation mit allen Handelspartnern, die sich dem Freihandel verpflichtet fühlen. Um in einem konfliktträchtigen Umfeld bestehen zu können, ist ein dynamischer EU-Binnenmarkt mit Gütern der Daseinsvorsorge als Standbein unerlässlich. Dies lässt sich mit einem Dreiklang aus Intelligenz, Innovationen und Investitionen erreichen, indem in ein hervorragendes Bildungssystem, Innovationskultur und nachhaltige europäische Infrastruktur investiert wird. All dies zeigt die Überlegenheit eines kooperativen Vorgehens gegenüber dem derzeit gängigen Konfliktmodell, das Wohlstand zu vernichten droht.

Wirtschaftspolitik in Zeiten des Rechtspopulismus

Imperiale Machtspiele

The material assembled in this volume offers a deeper insight into Walter Eucken's attitudes, thought, and actions during the darkest years of Germany's history: the period of National Socialism. Although Eucken, like his associates, destroyed potentially incriminating documents after the failed assassination attempt by Count Stauffenberg on Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944, the surviving texts mark key stages in a process that ultimately led this determined opponent of the Nazi regime - an opponent from the very beginning - into active resistance against Hitler. 
 

 What rendered Eucken immune to National Socialism from the outset was his philosophically grounded abhorrence of the dissolution of the free individual into the collective, as is inherent in all totalitarian, especially 
 völkisch
 (ethno-nationalist) ideologies. His systematic opposition to the Nazi regime began with refusal, open protest, and confrontation, particularly in response to the rapid 
 Gleichschaltung
 (forced coordination) of the universities, Martin Heidegger's rectorship, and the dismantling of academic freedom by the Nazis. Following Germany's invasion of Poland and several ultimately unsuccessful attempts to exert positive influence on the centers of power in Berlin, his resistance culminated in a - necessarily cautious - participation in conspiratorial activities as an advisor and confidant to the plotters. 
 

 The texts in this volume include notes and sketches of ideas, completed manuscripts that remained unpublished during his lifetime, published essays, a transcript of the lecture "Kampf der Wissenschaften," the record of a public discussion with a Nazi district leader, an expert report commissioned by the Reich Ministry of Economics on possible "sources of war financing" at the end of 1939, the academically significant essay "Wettbewerb als Grundprinzip der Wirtschaftsverfassung" prepared within the Academy for German Law, the chapter Eucken authored for the "Primer of Economics" initiated by Carl Goerdeler, as well as the appendix he co-authored to the memorandum "Wirtschafts- und Sozialordnung" of the Bonhoeffer Circle. This memorandum was prepared on behalf of the Confessing Church with a view to a future world church conference planned for the time after the war and the hoped-for overthrow of Hitler. Retrospective additions include, among other things, Eucken's "Notizen über die Haltung der rechts- und staatswissenschaftlichen Fakultät in Freiburg während der Herrschaft des Nationalsozialismus," his funeral oration for his prematurely deceased colleague Adolf Lampe, and drafts for an obituary of Hans Großmann-Doerth, with whom, together with Franz Böhm, Eucken had launched the research program of the Freiburg School: the development of a legal order conceived as an economic constitution, whose fundamental principle would be competition.
 

 These materials make it possible to trace how Eucken, precisely through his confrontation with the rapidly escalating regime of injustice - with the enforced 
 Gleichschaltung
 , the increasing move toward a planned economy, the persecution of the Jews culminating in genocide, the other atrocities of the dictatorship, and the devastating Second World War - was able to sharpen his conception of a "humane and functional order," diametrically opposed to such a cataclysm. Eucken's theoretical design of a competitive order would later provide direction in the postwar years for the establishment of a social market economy in the young Federal Republic of Germany.

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This edited volume reinterprets Italy’s economic development through the lens of culture. Building on Nicola Rossi’s earlier monograph, this book argues that Italy’s long-term economic performance is best explained not by institutions or resources alone, but by enduring cultural attitudes; particularly a persistent scepticism toward markets, innovation, and economic modernity.Bringing together contributions from scholars across economics, history, sociology, law, and cultural studies, the volume examines how these attitudes are expressed in domains such as literature, cinema, education, fashion, legal systems, and public discourse. It treats these cultural “conversations” as key evidence of how Italians have understood and debated growth, modernity, and state intervention over time. The book is structured in two parts: the first traces long-term cultural continuities since unification, while the second examines the post-war “economic miracle” as a brief period in which a pro-growth culture temporarily prevailed before receding. Overall, the volume offers an interdisciplinary account of how cultural beliefs have shaped Italy’s economic trajectory and its tensions with modern economic change.&nbsp;Nicola Rossi
 is Chair of the Commission on the Unobserved Economy and Tax and Social Security Evasion at the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance, and former Full Professor of Political Economy at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. His research focuses on economic history, public policy, and the cultural determinants of economic performance. He is the author of 
 Reframing Italian Economic History, 1861–2021
 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024) and has published widely on growth, institutions, and Italian economic development.

The Role of Culture in Italian Economic History, 1861-2021

Enorme Ungleichheiten, Klimakatastrophe, schleichende Faschisierung, unumschränkte polizeiliche Kontrolle - das Spektakel des Kapitalismus ist eine riesige Obszönität, die den politischen Vorstellungshorizont zunehmend beschränkt. Dass unter solchen Umständen der Gedanke aufkommt, man solle keine Hoffnungen in die vom Kapitalismus kolonisierten Staatsorgane setzen, ist leicht nachvollziehbar. Doch was ist die Alternative? Wie können wir uns eine Welt vorstellen, die nicht mehr von Institutionen, Bürokratie, Polizei, Lohnarbeit und dem Diktat des Geldes beherrscht wird? Wie lässt sich ein Leben denken - und leben - jenseits von Hierarchie und Herrschaft? 

 In seinem leidenschaftlichen Gespräch mit Félix Boggio Éwanjé-Épée begibt sich der französische Soziologe und Ökonom Frédéric Lordon mitten hinein in die von existenziellen Katastrophen geplagte Gegenwart und zeichnet so mitSchärfe, Witz und intellektueller Brillanz, dabei politische Theorie mit der spinozistischen Idee des Anderswerdens verknüpfend, die Konturen eines Denkens, das nicht resigniert, sondern Mut macht - Mut dazu, sich die eigene Vorstellungskraft zurückzuerobern.

Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance

This book presents the first historical study of how the Bank of England shaped the early development of international banking supervision during a period of profound economic and regulatory change. Drawing on extensive archival research across the Bank of England Archives, The UK National Archives, the Bank for International Settlements, and European and private‑sector collections, the book reconstructs the emergence of global supervisory cooperation from the 1970s through the late 1980s. The volume traces the evolution of prudential policy, the growth of macro‑prudential thinking, and the interplay between national sovereignty and the push for international coordination. It provides detailed examinations of the Bank of England’s supervisory practices, the formulation and revision of the UK Banking Acts of 1979 and 1987, the early Basel Committee negotiations, and the parallel development of European Community banking directives. Further chapters illuminate private-sector perspectives and offer a comparative analysis of supervisory systems in France, Germany, the United States, and Japan.Combining financial history, political economy, and the history of central banking, this study brings clarity to the origins of global banking supervision and demonstrates how British regulatory approaches influenced both European harmonisation and the Basel process. It will serve scholars of banking supervision, financial regulation, international monetary cooperation, and modern economic governance.
