Asian Development Bank: A Guide to
Insurable Infrastructure in the Pacific

A Guide to Insurable Infrastructure in the Pacific

Materialising the Digital

This book explores blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies to develop an infrastructural theory of money, and it demonstrates how payment infrastructures provide an analytical site where social studies of money and finance and science and technology studies can be fruitfully combined. The book utilises the blockchain and interoperability firm Ripple as a 'revelatory case' for investigating the entanglements of materiality, desire, space, and power that pervade all of money's infrastructures in cross-border payments and remittances. First, money's infrastructures have material dispositions: they enable and hinder users' behaviours, and unevenly distribute resources among users. Second, money's infrastructures have spatial dispositions: they produce and inhabit spatialities and chrono-topologies that take four forms - pyramids, rhizomes, platforms, stacks. Third, money's infrastructures have libidinal dispositions: money as infrastructure is shown to be shaped significantly by enchantment and desires. Fourth, money's infrastructures have political-economic dispositions, between seamless interoperability and transaction- and friction-replete platformisation.

An ecology of materiality, space, desires, and power

Money’s infrastructures

Today, extraordinary wealth seems to arrive from nowhere. The trick of conjuring this unearned wealth is, in fact, the key to understanding capital­ism’s origins and a clue to why the catastrophe of climate collapse is upon us: value is created by consuming the future. The Alibi of Capital explains how this came about through the imperial expansion of the West, en­cumbering today’s generations with repayments on earlier extractions. Timothy Mitchell identifies the forms of capitalisation, credit, and coercion that turn prospective assets into present income. Rejecting the common idea that claims on the future create only financial or fictitious capital, he traces the terraforming projects – the destruction of rivers, the colonising of territory, the expan­sion of infrastructure, and the burning of carbon – through which the future has been squandered. Terms such as finance, technology, the economy, and growth function as alibis that conceal this devastating form of extraction.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIn one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road--and the results of that investigation, still unfolding in real time, will astound you.Was there more than one killer? Had the crime scene been cleaned and sanitized before the police arrived? Was furniture staged to throw off detectives? In the aftermath of Bryan Kohberger's request to withdraw his guilty plea, there are more questions than ever before.In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four lives were lost in a brutal crime in Moscow, Idaho--and a nation demanded answers. When a suspect accepted a plea bargain, the story seemed settled. Justice, many believed, had been served.Broken Plea prophetically challenges that assumption.Drawing on court records, investigative timelines, witness statements, and apparently overlooked inconsistencies, this meticulously researched exposé examines how a rush to judgment may have shaped one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory. As the official narrative hardened, critical leads went unexplored, contradictory evidence was minimized, and alternative explanations faded from view.This book does not claim certainty where none exists. Instead, it asks the questions that were never fully pursued: What happens when pressure to close a case outweighs the search for truth? What evidence may have been sidelined, and why? And what are the consequences when a plea doesn't end scrutiny but invites it?Clear-eyed, unsparing, and deeply unsettling, Broken Plea reopens a case that never should have closed as it did--and invites readers to look again at what justice demands when the truth remains unresolved.

Future of Business and Finance

This book presents the trends of tech transformation and AI- readiness of emerging economies across regulatory, social, economic, and infrastructure layers. With the increased pace of urbanization, digital transformation, and proliferation of the algorithm economy, data and infrastructural readiness play vital roles in economic growth and development. By taking evidence (theoretical and empirical evidence) from selected emerging economies, this work intends to shed light on the developments and tech-readiness of these economies, focusing on AI solutions with the analysis of tech infrastructure and data readiness.

Besides, it provides an in-depth presentation of empirical evidence on tech transformation and best practices with the constructs for AI tech&nbsp;readiness of emerging economies at national and institutional levels. The studies presented in this edited book will help to bridge the gap in the scanty literature about data, infrastructure, and AI readiness of emerging economies by looking into the challenges and opportunities. Major topics covered include AI solutions in Organizational value creation, green economy, sustainability, positive AI risk monitoring as a tech opportunity, assessment, mitigation, (renewable) energy generation, management&nbsp;and utilization, education, security, healthcare system, and more.

Tech Transformation and AI Readiness

Ron Maydole created a successful Loss Prevention Department while working for a large merchant. That merchant started to experience fraudulent attempts like never before. Those attempts were the result of expanding into larger markets. He was tasked to look into the root cause of the fraud and eventually was tasked to create this department.
It was not an easy task due to limited resources, but he persevered. Eventually, programs were created to flag accounts for review. On a yearly basis, the department would review about 98,000 transactions for a $2 billion company, where they stopped about $5 million in fraudulent attempts while writing off around $350,000.
While attending Master's classes, he was introduced to a book regarding managerial change. While reading, he realized that he had accomplished each of these stages and decided to explain what he had experienced. Ron realized that if he had read this book earlier, the changes that he implemented would have occurred earlier.
The last class he attended was to write his thesis. He wrote about identity theft. The complete thesis is included, along with tips on how to avoid becoming a victim. Ron has a passion to educate the masses on how to protect themselves. That started when he wrote loss prevention newsletters and training classes regarding fraudulent schemes. He had a desire to combine everything into one outlet.

IDENTITY THEFT

China Insights

This book attempts to answer the most fundamental questions of BRI by applying economic methods: What is, what to do, and how to do. Whether in China or the international community, whether in academia or in decision-making circles, there is no consensus on these issues, even though BRI has been around for eight years. As a result, there are many misunderstandings and suspicions about BRI, which have become a major obstacle to its smooth development. As an academic study, this book is not a simple interpretation of the official Chinese BRI representation, but an analysis of it is based on a unified theoretical framework. In addition to tracing the evolution of BRI and the cognition of the international community, the focus of this book is to analyze the attributes, positioning, and governance structure of BRI, as well as to discuss the internal and external risks it faces and its future development direction. The author starts from the development orientation of BRI (different from the current rule orientation of global governance) and makes a normative definition of it. Emphasizing development orientation does not mean that BRI does not need rules, but to jointly formulate rules according to the needs of development. Therefore, one of the directions to promote the high-quality development of BRI is institutionalization.

The Economic Analysis of Belt and Road

The persistent dread of numbers refusing to add up isn't about failing at math; it's about inheriting a fear that
silences financial confidence. Part of The Uneven Mind, Kalinda Pemberton's insightful book explores the
deep-seated anxieties surrounding personal finances and offers a path toward budgeting free from mathematical
overwhelm.

Financial planning often feels charged not because of complexity, but because numbers become entangled with
past experiences and emotional responses. *Budgeting Without the Spreadsheet* is not a rigid accounting
system, a complex financial plan, or a guide to mastering calculations. Instead, it provides a compassionate
method for building budgets based on storytelling and sensory awareness, acknowledging and accommodating
unique challenges in everyday life.

Through relatable scenarios exploring the human side of money management, you will discover:
- The Chipped Formica: How seemingly unrelated objects can become potent symbols of financial stress
and inherited anxiety.
- Behavior Gaps: Why knowing *what* to do with money differs dramatically from actually *doing* it,
especially when fear is involved.
By gently untangling emotional roadblocks like inherited anxieties and avoidance behaviors, *Budgeting

Without the Spreadsheet* empowers you to translate abstract figures into relatable daily
narratives-transforming financial planning from a source of stress into an act of self-compassion. Learn to
recognize the subtle ways fear impacts your choices and build a budgeting approach that honors your unique
experiences and challenges. Pick up *Budgeting Without the Spreadsheet* now and begin building a healthier,
more confident relationship with your money today!

Anthropology at Work

Trademark-protected since 1910, the famous woollen cloth known as Harris Tweed can only be produced in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland - yet it is exported to over 50 countries around the world. Examining contemporary experiences of work and life, this book is the first in-depth anthropological study of the renowned textile industry, complementing and updating existing historical and ethnographic research. Drawing on one year of ethnographic fieldwork research in the Outer Hebrides, it offers an intimate account of industry workers' lived experiences and contributes to anthropological debates on work and labour, cultural production, inclusive belonging and place-making in global capitalism.

Working the Fabric

A history of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, and how the ambiguity built into that technology helps companies and exploits workersSeeing Like a Supply Chain is a compelling investigation into the hidden networks that drive our global economy. Miriam Posner presents a blow-by-blow account of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, revealing how the system's built-in ambiguity shields companies from accountability while exploiting workers.Drawing on more than a decade of research, Posner shows how computation converged with the growth of global trade to allow for a lightning-quick, astoundingly efficient supply chain that lets corporations source products without any notion of where their goods are actually being produced. At a time when multinational firms fear the reputational damage of human rights violations in the making of their products, the supply chain's shroud of vagueness is a feature, not a bug. Posner shows how this is technically accomplished-and how the strategic disavowal of information extends through every step of that chain.
