Phenomenal World Books

A critical history of the US dollar's dominance in the world economy--and what has kept China's currency from overtaking it. The dollar is the primary currency of the world economy. With China now rivaling the United States on the world stage, a critical question hangs in the balance: will the Chinese renminbi challenge the status of the dollar and, in doing so, deprive America of its "exorbitant privilege"? In GreenbackEmpire, Ho-fung Hung offers a powerful account of why, even as American shares of global production, ownership, and trade continue to decline, its currency has retained the support of governments and investors around the world. For six decades, Hung shows, the dominance of the dollar has rested on the security umbrella that the US offers to the world's wealthiest countries--including oil producers. To these countries, support for the value of the dollar is tantamount to maintaining US protection. While China has become a serious geopolitical and economic rival to the US, the Chinese state's airtight control of its financial system has delayed the free trading of the renminbi, limiting the currency's internationalization. In short, the same strategy that engineered growth in China's economy is restraining its currency's rise in opposition to the dollar. Hung's Greenback Empire is an essential history of the dollar's prowess, indispensable for understanding the future of the global monetary system.

How to Win a Trade War

SHORTLISTED FOR THE MOORE PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE An eye-opening exploration of the Chinese internet that reveals the intricate dance between freedom and control in contemporary China. In the late 1990s, as the world was waking up to the power of the internet, Chinese authorities began con­structing a system of online censor­ship now known as the Great Firewall. But far from being barren, the digital world behind the firewall brimmed with new subcultures and tech innovations, offering many citizens previously unimaginable connection and opportunity. Today, as the country's leadership intensifies its control of public discourse and Western headlines reduce the Chinese public to a faceless monolith, journalist Yi-Ling Liu presents an intimate por­trait of the en­trepreneurs, activists, artists, and dreamers navigating China's transformation into both the world's largest online user base and one of its most populous authoritarian states. Drawing on years of firsthand reporting, The Wall Dancers equips readers with the tools to assess the past, present, and future of a global power. A vital exploration of the inter­net's power for both control and liberation, and an unforgettable work of human storytelling, it ultimately asks what it means to live within the technological systems that now shape all of our lives.

Searching for Freedom and Connection on the Chinese Internet

The Wall Dancers

From the award-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of Material World, a story that will take you from ancient civilizations, empire and globalisation through to the most influential geopolitical issue of our times. The story of trade is the story of humanity. From the copper in Mesopotamian ploughs to the silicon atoms within the chip inside your smartphone, intricate global trading networks have evolved over millennia to fulfil the distinctly human desire to buy and sell. Today, the volume of trade bestriding the planet is unprecedented. Yet, as fractures in the global order emerge - from an era of globalisation and untrammelled flows of goods and money to a new world of restrictions, intervention and, possibly, war - understanding this fundamental shift to the dominant economic consensus is more important than ever. Ed Conway tells this extraordinary story through these three commonplace products - bread, cloth and cars. With a compelling blend of economic history and first-hand access to key figures and institutions, he takes us from policy treaties to ground level to show us the people who make, ship and sometimes smuggle the products we buy on a daily basis. Discover the hidden, shifting trade world behind everything you see around you.

Fairer Handel informiert über wirtschaftliche Beziehungen zwischen ¿Globalem Süden¿ und ¿Globalem Norden¿ und verfestigt damit eine globale Spaltung. In Bildungsmaterialien der kirchlichen Entwicklungsarbeit werden Produzentinnen fair gehandelter Erzeugnisse als Opfer patriarchaler Kulturen repräsentiert und mit dem Maßstab mutmaßlich emanzipierter Frauen aus dem Globalen Norden verglichen. Doris Günther-Kriegel markiert die daraus abgeleitete Rückständigkeit des Globalen Südens als eine intersektionale Kategorisierung, die sie mit dem Neologismus ¿Viktigenisierung¿ hervorhebt. Diese religionswissenschaftliche Kritik eröffnet eine geschlechtssensible Perspektive auf die global wirksamen Verflechtungen von Entwicklung und Religion.

Routledge Studies in Global Land and Resource Grabbing

This book critically examines the driving forces, discourses, and conflicts surrounding Chinese investments in overseas farmland, with a specific focus on Australia.With growing amounts of finance channeled into the purchase of overseas food and farming assets, China has become a frontrunner in the global land rush. Unlike much of the existing literature that focuses on emerging economies such as Brazil or Africa, this book examines Chinese farmland purchases in the developed country context of Australia. Based on four years of extensive field work in Australia and China, it traces the encounters and interactions between investors, regulators, deal brokers, farmers, and eaters that shape the ways in which individual Chinese investment projects materialize in the Australian countryside. In contrast to conventional wisdom portraying China's overseas land rush as a state-led strategy to feed the Chinese population, this book reveals that Chinese investments in Australian farmland have been propelled by the intersecting interests of international finance and business elites looking to cash in on booming Chinese demand for high-quality, Western food products. This book provides a unique transnational perspective on China's overseas farmland purchases and shows how Chinese farmland investments produce uneven geographies of agri-food globalization that cut across national borders. Through the lens of China's agri-engagement in Australia, this book advances our theoretical understanding of the new types of power relations and dynamics shaping an increasingly multi-polar agri-food system.This book will be useful to students and scholars of agri-food studies, Chinese studies and globalization with an interest in the global land rush and the shifting contours of the global agri-food system.

An insider's guide to our broken economy and how it fails to serve us.'A fascinating examination of the failures of modern economics, and how these failures are harming us all' Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism'Easily one of the most compelling economics communicators of our generation.'Yuan Yang, FT columnist and MP for Earley and WoodleyDid you know that while we think of money as notes issued by the government, the truth is that the overwhelming majority of money today is credit created by private banks?Did you know that the reason housing keeps getting less accessible is because we haven't found a way to separate houses from land in our policies?And did you know that far from globalisation being a mystical force, certain countries and currencies have dominated the way it has played out - to their own advantage?Whilst economics is at the heart of the society we live in, governing so many functions from our taxes to where we live to the price of our shopping, few of us have a strong grasp on the subject. This book is here to help.Why We're Getting Poorer delves into the key topics in economics - money, globalisation, inequality, climate change and growth - showing that what we think we know about these things is wrong, and teaching us what we really need to know. Deciphering the jargon and complexity of economic thinking, with examples ranging from the Simpsons to the German football league to The Inbetweeners, Cahal Moran shows us why our economy set us up to fail, and offers suggestions for how we can make positive changes.Written by an award-winning economist and the YouTuber responsible for 'Unlearning Economics', Why We're Getting Poorer is a thrilling, iconoclastic guide to how the world really works.

'A captivating mosaic of wartime Berlin' Katja Hoyer, Financial Times 'Brilliant and beautifully written' Anne Applebaum 'Brings to life Berlin during World War II so vividly that you can imagine yourself blithely strolling the streets of the city or hunkering down in the bomb shelters' Barbara Demick 'A rich and fascinating portrait of Berlin at war' Literary Review 'Wonderfully nuanced' Guardian When war broke out in September 1939, what was most striking in the German capital at first was how little changed. Unless you were Jewish. Then life, already hard, soon got unfathomably worse. Drawing on diaries, letters and memoirs, Stay Alive chronicles daily life in wartime Berlin with extraordinary power and immediacy. Here are the movie stars and swing dancers, the resistance circles and SS patrols hunting deserters, the desperate calculations of survival and collaboration. As Allied bombs reduced the city to rubble and Soviet troops closed in, the common greeting of Berliners became not auf Wiedersehen or Heil Hitler but bleiben Sie übrig - 'Stay alive'. Revelatory, devastating and deeply humane, this book illuminates how ordinary people navigated the moral catastrophe of the Third Reich - what it meant to resist, to conform or simply to endure. Buruma shows how a society's accommodation to evil unfolds one compromise at a time, and why understanding this descent remains urgently relevant today.

Berlin, 1939–1945

Stay Alive

The Future of Industrialization provides a comprehensive and forward-looking assessment of how industrial development must be redefined in an era marked by accelerating technological change, environmental crisis, geopolitical fragmentation, and persistent global inequality. The volume brings together an exceptional range of contributors, including heads of state, ministers, senior UN officials, private-sector executives, and leading academics, offering a uniquely multidisciplinary perspective on the future of industrial policy and global economic transformation. At its core, the book argues that traditional models of industrialization are no longer sufficient. Instead, industrial development must be reoriented toward sustainability, inclusiveness, resilience, and innovation. It explores how these principles can be operationalized through coordinated global action across five interconnected thematic areas: (1) global governance framework; (2) food security and agro-industrial transformation; (3) sustainable and fair supply chains; (4) climate action, clean energy, and industrial decarbonization; and (5) digitalization and artificial intelligence in manufacturing-ending with a compelling translation of policy dialogue into actionable development strategies. Geographically, the book draws on diverse experiences from across the Global North and South, with particular emphasis on the challenges and opportunities facing low- and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It highlights the structural constraints these regions face while also showcasing innovation, policy experimentation, and emerging industrial strategies that can support more inclusive global growth. Rather than serving as a technical manual, this volume functions as a policy-oriented compendium that integrates empirical insights, case studies, and strategic reflections. It is grounded in the mission of UNIDO and aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). In a period of strain on multilateral cooperation, the book seeks to strengthen global policy coherence by fostering dialogue between governments, international organizations, industry leaders, and civil society. It ultimately provides a framework for rethinking industrialization as a central pillar of a just and sustainable global economic order.

Rethinking Economic Development

The Future of Industrialization

Elements in Development Economics

One of the most significant innovations in international industrial organization over the past half-century has been the vertical disintegration of production, with different stages carried out in different countries-a process widely known as the Global Manufacturing Value Chain (GMVC). Trade based on global production sharing within GMVC has been the primary driver behind the dramatic shift in world manufacturing exports from developed to developing countries. However, there are growing concerns in policy circles about whether the GMVC is beginning to lose momentum. This study examines this issue with reference to Southeast Asian countries, which serve as an ideal laboratory for such an analysis. Engagement in GMVC has played a major role in the economic dynamism of these countries, although their levels of participation vary significantly. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
