Battlers and Billionaires

The Updated Story of Inequality in Australia

'This book did nothing less than make me re-see the world . . . Original, and very clever' - Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland Borders draw one map of the world; money draws another. A journalist's riveting account exposes a parallel universe exempt from the laws of the land, and how the wealthy and powerful benefit from it. The map of the globe shows the world we think we know: sovereign nations that grant and restrict their citizens' rights. Beneath, above, and tucked inside its neatly delineated borders, however, a parallel universe has been engineered into existence, consisting of thousands of extraterritorial zones that operate largely autonomously, increasingly for the benefit of the wealthy and powerful. Atossa Abrahamian traces the rise of the hidden globe to thirteenth-century Switzerland, where poor cantons marketed the commodity they had - bodies, in the form of mercenary fighters. Following its evolution around the world, she reveals how prize-winning economists, eccentric theorists, visionary statesmen, and consultants masterminded its export in the form of free trade zones, flags of convenience, offshore detention centres where immigrants languish in limbo, and charter cities controlled by foreign governments and multinational corporations - and even into outer space, where tiny Luxembourg aspires to mining rights on asteroids. By mapping the hidden geography that decides who wins and who loses in this new global order - and how it might be otherwise - The Hidden Globe fascinates, enrages, and inspires. 'Vivid, revelatory' - The New Yorker 'Atossa Abrahamian boldly renews our sense of reality and brilliantly illuminates our political impasse' - Pankaj Mishra, author of The Age of Anger

Handbook of U.S. Labor Statistics 2026

This book critically examines the dynamics of higher education in Vietnam within the context of global shifts, challenging the prevailing dichotomy of Global North and Global South. Focusing on the unique case of Vietnam, a nation shaped by diverse educational influences, the text investigates the country's higher education (HE) landscape, marked by a convergence of Eastern and Western ideologies. As globalization and the COVID-19 pandemic reshape the international education scenario, Vietnam's ability to navigate this transition, juxtaposed against Western counterparts, becomes a focal point.

The authors delve into crucial governance aspects, scrutinizing the autonomy of leading Vietnamese universities across public and private sectors. Through case studies and empirical data, the book assesses the contemporary state of HE governance and quality assurance, shedding light on internal transitions catalyzed by pivotal policy implementations. Additionally, the book explores Vietnam's commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goal 4, unravelling features influencing higher education sustainability and potential risks demanding adaptive responses. As the book concludes, it addresses the intersection of artificial intelligence, exemplified by ChatGPT, and higher education governance, offering insights into the ethical implications of these technological advancements. This comprehensive exploration contributes a nuanced understanding of Vietnam's higher education landscape, emphasizing the necessity for dialogue and exchange between Global North and Global South in the pursuit of sustainable, quality education for all.

From the renowned founder of The Bail Project, an eye-opening book about why we allow money to play any role in the administration of justice &gt;With engaging and accessible prose, Robin Steinberg, founder and CEO of The Bail Project, and her colleague Camilo Ramirez tell the shocking true stories of people jailed by poverty while also detailing: <ul> <li>the history of bail, from its inception in medieval England, as an incentive for people to return to court, to modern America where it is a "mechanism for detention" </li><li>the roles lawyers, judges, and legislators have in the legal system and how and why they have become complicit in excessive bail </li><li>how the current bail system undermines the promise of a fair and just system and the U.S. Constitution </li><li>effective alternatives to cash bail</li></ul> For fans of The Race to Incarcerate by Marc Mauer and James Kilgore's Understanding Mass Incarceration, Steinberg, whose previous book was called "powerfully insightful reading" by Kirkus Reviews, and Ramirez provide an unprecedented look at America's cash bail system and inspire us to imagine a better, fairer way forward.

India Studies in Business and Economics

This book provides a comprehensive perspective by taking an interdisciplinary approach to issues of attaining SDGs in India. It starts with policy priorities and opportunities for interlinking of different SDGs with sustainable industrial transformation. Subsequently, various chapters present a blend of analytical methods that are primarily rooted in economics and yet have an inter-disciplinary approach, highlighting pathways towards achieving SDGs, especially SDG1, SDG2, SDG3, SDG4, SDG10, SDG11, SDG13, and SDG15. Gender equality and empowerment of women is a common cross-cutting issue across all three themes towards achieving SDG targets. Chapters are divided into three themes climate change, health and nutrition, and poverty and inequality, with a special chapter devoted to each theme providing the overall picture. The book’s content is a great resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and development practitioners studying these SDGs related to India as the country moves forward on its growth path.

Challenges and Way Forward

SDGs Amidst Multiple Global Shocks

Canadian Competition Law and Policy, Second Edition

Over the last fifty years, the American economy has been transformed-and not by accident. Since the mid-1970s, a coordinated project by corporate leaders, wealthy elites, lobbyists, and policy intellectuals has quietly rewritten the rules of the U.S. economy. The result: more than $79 trillion has been shifted upward from the bottom 90% to the richest households, wages have stagnated despite decades of rising productivity, and entire communities have been left precarious, indebted, and insecure.

The Heist tells the story of how this happened-and what it has done to the people who were left behind.
Drawing on economic research, historical evidence, and clear, accessible analysis, Mark M. Orton shows how financialization, monopolization, deregulation, tax policy, weakened labor power, and deliberate political capture combined to redirect the gains of growth to a small elite. From the Powell Memo to the rise of private equity, from stock buybacks to the collapse of antitrust enforcement, Orton traces the mechanisms of upward redistribution in vivid, concrete detail.
Far from inevitability, this new economic order was engineered-step by step, policy by policy, deal by deal. 
The Heist explains how:CEOs and financial firms extracted value through buybacks, LBOs, and debt-fueled predation
Corporations rewrote tax policy to shield trillions
The decline of unions and worker bargaining power hollowed out the middle class
Monopolies in tech, finance, retail, energy, and healthcare reshaped markets and prices
Political influence, dark money, and lobbying blocked reform and entrenched inequality
Ordinary Americans absorbed the risks-precarity, debt, insecurity, and declining prospects


Clear-eyed, urgent, and deeply researched, The Heist exposes the mechani

How the Rich & Corporations Stole the American Dream

THE HEIST

A former public defender takes us behind the closed doors of America's criminal courts, revealing how the institutions that claim to protect us are doing the exact opposite—and offering a blueprint for finally fixing it. “A searing, compassionate, and utterly necessary book that pulls back the curtain with the clarity of a lawyer and the heart of someone who’s seen the criminal legal system’s devastating consequences up close.”—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow As Americans, we are told a rose-tinted story about our criminal courts—that these are the hallowed halls of justice, that the purpose of our legal process is to find the truth, and that those who enforce the law are both equitable and heroic. But what if the reality is purposefully obscured to hide something rotten at the system’s core? In The Price of Mercy, attorney and former public defender Emily Galvin Almanza weaves hard data and unforgettable stories, dark humor and compelling evidence to tell us the truth about what’s really going on behind the closed doors of America’s criminal courts. She shows us how jails actually increase future crime, the dirty tricks police use to make millions in overtime pay, how a man could spend decades in prison because scientists mistook dog hair for his own, the perverse incentives that push prosecutors to seek convictions even when they themselves don’t want to, and how judges may decide cases differently after lunch. We’ll learn what’s working, too: how public defenders can improve public health and even economic mobility, and how planting more trees can reduce a neighborhood’s murder rates. But a lone defender winning a case won’t change the system. Galvin Almanza argues that we need an engaged public to confront the stark reality of our crime-generating, poverty-entrenching, health-destroying legal apparatus and rebuild it into something that can save our collective present and prevent our future from being torn apart. Provocative and eye-opening, The Price of Mercy lifts the curtain on the way our laws really operate and presents a path forward for true transformation of the American criminal court system. Justice, and the law itself, is not some static thing. It is something enacted together, decision by decision, in acts of inhumanity or mercy.

With a chapter devoted to each of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, this edited volume explores the evidence that corruption is a strong impediment to achieving the SDGs and that strong anti-corruption policy is essential if any are to be achieved. For some of the goals there is much existing theory and evidence which will be summarised and made accessible to an interdisciplinary audience. For example, studies strongly suggest that corruption is associated with greater poverty (SDG 1) and lower growth rates (SDG 8). Furthermore, there is considerable research on the effects of corruption on the scope for decent work and growth (SDG 8) and an established connection between corruption and industry, innovation, and infrastructure (SDG 9). In other areas, the research is more scant. For example, there is limited work on how corruption can be a contributing factor to food insecurity and famine (SDG 2). There has been little work specifically on corruption and sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11) and responsible consumption and production (SDG 12). Similarly, more work is needed on the effects of corruption on climate action (SDG 13), life below water (SDG 14), and life on land (SDG15). In these areas the chapter surveys the research that does exist and motivates further study.This book will be an essential research and reference guide to readers interested in political economy, sustainable development, social issues, politics and development studies.
