"Makes a simple but quietly radical point: you cannot understand the modern economy--or the future of work--without understanding what is happening in women's economic lives." -- Inc.com A feminist romp through pop culture that illuminates how women influence and shape the economy. Taylor Swift isn't just a pop megastar. She is a working woman whose astounding accomplishments defy patriarchal norms. And while not all women can be Beyoncé or Dolly Parton or Reese Witherspoon, the successes of these trailblazing stars help us understand the central role of women in today's economy. Swiftynomics assesses the complex economic lives of everyday American women through the stories of groundbreakers like Taylor Swift, Misty L. Heggeness digs into the data, revealing women's hidden contributions and aspirations--the unexamined value they create by pursuing their own ambitions. She highlights the abundance of productive activity in their daily lives and acknowledges the barriers they still face. Exploring critical reforms regarding caregiving and gendered labor, this book offers advice for women to thrive in an economy that was not built for them.

How Women Mastermind and Redefine Our Economy

Swiftynomics

Revolution, war, political turmoil: this is the extraordinary story of how modern London - the world's first truly global city - was made.'Jerry White is the historian of London, and this may be his crowning achievement ... Brilliant' DAVID KYNASTON, author of Austerity BritainThe French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars changed London beyond recognition. In this brilliant portrait of these pivotal years, acclaimed historian Jerry White reveals how conflict and political upheaval on the Continent transformed Britain's capital forever.For some Londoners, war brought wealth; for others, poverty and riots. Patriots clamoured for Boney's defeat; radicals sought to emulate the reforms pioneered across the Channel. Crucially, the chaos and uncertainty engulfing mainland Europe at the turn of the century drove an exodus of bankers, aristocrats and merchants to London. The city's docks grew to be the heart of global trade; imperial expansion revived London's slave trade; and financiers like the Rothschilds provided the gold that crushed Napoleon at Waterloo. London became the world's leading financial centre.Ultimately, as White vividly shows, these dramatic years ushered in the 'British Century' - a hundred years of British capitalist innovation, naval supremacy and imperial power - and made London the remarkable global city we know today.'A compelling trip through the dirt, drama and danger of London at the turn of the nineteenth century' MICHAEL TAYLOR, author of Impossible Monsters'This is White at his best. Elegantly written, thought-provoking, fascinating' EMMA GRIFFIN, author Liberty's Dawn

London in a Revolutionary World, 1789-1815

Birth of a Global City

This book examines how a mandatory UN oversight mechanism can influence State behaviour and legal reform in one of the world’s least studied regions. It reveals that the Human Rights Committee’s (hereafter: HRCtee) State reporting procedure is far more than a formal obligation: it operates as a sustained process of dialogue, persuasion, and normative pressure.

By following the reporting cycles from the late Soviet era through the post-independence submissions of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan over nearly five decades, the monograph uncovers how the process has shaped domestic debate, made room for civil society engagement, and contributed to legislative and institutional change. Drawing on a combination of field research, documentary evidence, interviews with government officials, civil society activists and experts, as well as direct observation of HRCtee sessions, the book highlights both the visible — such as references to the Committee’s interpretation in legal acts — and more subtle forms of influence, including gradual shifts in discourse, expectations, and administrative practice.

What distinguishes this book is its exclusive focus on the reporting mechanism itself, rather than the more frequently analysed individual complaints procedure. It shows how structured dialogue, interpretative guidance, and reputational incentives can lead to the gradual internalisation of norms, even in contexts marked by political sensitivity, limited transparency, and post-Soviet bureaucratic legacies. Spanning the USSR’s ratification of the ICCPR in 1973 to the contemporary engagement of the Central Asian states with the UN treaty body system, the volume traces a narrative of resistance, adaptation, and institutional learning.

The book is intended for scholars, experts, practitioners, and policy actors interested in how international oversight influences domestic change, and offers practical insights for those seeking to engage with treaty bodies, strengthen domestic reforms, or assess the real-world effects of international human rights monitoring.

A delightful, thoughtful and original new way to understand England's historyA Times Best Book of the Year 2025 A History Extra History Book of the Year 2025'This is a marvellous idea, quite brilliantly realised. Catherine Clarke takes 25 poems [...] and uses them as windows into the English past, from politics and plagues to nature and nostalgia. Her book is a winning blend of jolly ballads and melancholy reflections, alive to the ways in which the meanings of England and Englishness are never fixed, always changing' - Dominic Sandbrook, The TimesThis is the history of England told in a new way: glimpsed through twenty-five remarkable poems written down between the eighth century and today, which connect us directly with the nation's past, and the experiences, emotions and imaginations of those who lived it.These poems open windows onto wildly different worlds - from the public to the intimate, from the witty to the savage, from the playful to the wistful. They take us onto battlefields, inside royal courts, down coal mines and below stairs in great houses. Their creators, witnesses to events from the Great Fire of London to the Miners' Strike, range from the famous to the forgotten, yet each invites us into an immersive encounter with their own time.A History of England in 25 Poems is a portal to the past; a constant companion, filled with vivid voices and surprising stories alongside familiar landmarks, and language that speaks in new ways on each reading. Catherine Clarke's knowledge and passion take us inside the words and the moments they capture, with thoughtful insights, humour and new perspectives on how the nation has dreamed itself into existence - and who gets to tell England's story.

A History of England in 25 Poems

This book examines London’s eighteenth–century upholding trade. Primarily providing household furniture and upholstery goods and services at the beginning of the century, by mid-century upholders provided stylish and fashionable residential interior furnishings, funeral undertaking, and a secondary market for used household goods. Upholders were at the forefront of the development of Britain’s material culture, and were important contributors to London’s economic and social fabric. Providing context to the social and business lives of upholders, the author surveys key themes including apprenticeship, livery companies, empire, material culture, consumerism, taste and fashion, advertising, and credit. The book also explores how upholders came to dominate the funeral undertaking business, and integrated brokering, appraising, and auctioneering into their businesses.

Adapting to the economic changes and interior furnishing trends that took place in the first half of the eighteenth century, many upholders expanded their business lines. While consumer demand increased for household goods, so too did the widespread use of personal credit, which ultimately led to an increase in upholder bankruptcies after 1760. Through two case studies of financially successful upholders, the book sheds light on diverse topics such as the East India Company, banking, royal household tradesmen, and military contracting, to create an intricate understanding of their experiences. Offering new insights into the business, social, and personal lives of London’s upholders, this book demonstrates how they were instrumental in creating a new domestic commerce in eighteenth-century Britain.

Mercatus Studies in Political and Social Economy

“In Disrupting Order, authors Nona and Virgil Storr provide a compelling reassessment of the significance of the Burma Road Riot.… Beyond a solid theoretical intervention, the authors are to be commended for the depth of archival and ethnographic research that makes this study an excellent contribution to Bahamian social-political history and larger studies on public disturbances.”—Christopher Curry, author of&nbsp;Freedom and Resistance
"This book provides a fascinating account of the 1942 riot that occurred in the Bahamas.”—Matthew Moran, author of&nbsp;The Republic and the Riots
“It does not glorify unrest but provides a thoughtful framework to understand why such moments arise and how they shape the trajectory of a people.”—J. Kwasi Thompson, Member of Parliament for East Grand Bahama and Former Minister of State for Grand Bahama and Finance
Are riots more than just breakdowns of order? Are rioters just violently and chaotically disrupting the status quo or are they individuals acting together in a surprisingly orderly manner? In Disrupting Order,&nbsp;Nona Martin Storr and Virgil Henry Storr argue that riots are rule-governed, self-generating, emergent phenomena. Viewing riots as what they call “tensive emergent orders” offers a grammar for discussing riots that foregrounds the motivations and actions of individual rioters, the tacit rules that rioters follow, and the socio-political causes and consequences of riots. Applying this grammar to the 1942 riot that occurred in the Bahamas, Storr and Storr demonstrate how the 1942 riot was not just a momentary outburst but a watershed event in the country’s history, ushering in far-reaching socio-political changes. As we move into an era of frequent extreme protests,&nbsp;Disrupting Order&nbsp;urges us to rethink why the threatened and marginalized sometimes speak through riots and gives us a framework to assess the impact of their speaking in this way.
Nona Martin Storr&nbsp;is Senior Affiliated Scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Her writings on riots have appeared in the Journal of Caribbean History,&nbsp;Island Studies Journal, and&nbsp;Space and Culture.
Virgil Henry Storr is Don C. Lavoie Senior Fellow in the Mercatus Center's F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and Professor of Economics at George Mason University. Storr’s previous books with Palgrave Macmillan include&nbsp;Do Markets Corrupt Our Morals?&nbsp;and&nbsp;Community Revival in the Wake of Disaster.

Tension, Riots, and Social Change

Disrupting Order

This is the incredible untold story of four women who helped win World War II by generating a wave of black propaganda. Betty MacDonald was a 28-year-old reporter from Hawaii. Zuzka Lauwers grew up in a tiny Czechoslovakian village and knew five languages by the time she was 21. Jane Smith-Hutton was the wife of a naval attaché living in Tokyo. Marlene Dietrich, the German-American actress and singer, was one of the biggest stars of the 20th century. These four women, each fascinating in her own right, together contributed to one of the most covert and successful military campaigns in WWII. Members of the Office of Strategic Services, their task was to create a secret brand of propaganda produced with the sole aim to break the morale of Axis soldiers. Working in Europe, across enemy lines in occupied China and in Washington D.C., Betty, Zuzka, Jane and Marlene forged letters and 'official' military orders, wrote and produced entire newspapers, scripted radio broadcasts and songs and even developed rumours for undercover spies and double agents to spread to the enemy. And outside of a small group of spies, no one knew they existed. Until now.

'Buckle your trousers, fasten your seatbelts, here comes Kate Lister. Her curious history of sex is a wild ride, made all the more enjoyable by a wonderfully irreverent approach . . . I've never had so much fun learning stuff' The Times'Had Victoria Wood decided to write a scholarly book about sex, it would be like this. Lister has a saucy wit . . . I laughed out loud.' Daily Mail'Lister romps her way through masturbation, menstruation and prostitution, the invention of condoms, the use of vibrators to cure hysteria and much more . . . Glorious' Evening StandardThis is not a comprehensive study of every sexual quirk, kink and ritual across all cultures throughout time, as that would entail writing an encyclopaedia. Rather, this is a drop in the ocean, a paddle in the shallow end of sex history, but I hope you will get pleasantly wet nonetheless.The act of sex has not changed since people first worked out what went where, but the ways in which society dictates how sex is culturally understood and performed have varied significantly through the ages. Humans are the only creatures that stigmatise particular sexual practices, and sex remains a deeply divisive issue around the world. Attitudes will change and grow - hopefully for the better - but sex will never be free of stigma or shame unless we acknowledge where it has come from.Based on the popular research project Whores of Yore, and written with her distinctive humour and wit, A Curious History of Sex draws upon Dr Kate Lister's extensive knowledge of sex history. From medieval impotence tests to twentieth-century testicle thefts, from the erotic frescoes of Pompeii, to modern-day sex doll brothels, Kate unashamedly roots around in the pants of history, debunking myths, challenging stereotypes and generally getting her hands dirty.This fascinating book is peppered with surprising and informative historical slang, and illustrated with eye-opening, toe-curling and meticulously sourced images from the past.You will laugh, you will wince and you will wonder just how much has actually changed.

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament

The contributors engage in a critical dialogue on the "within Judaism" trend as a heuristic perspective whose historical, exegetical, and methodological consistency calls for careful examination. By attempting 
 

 - and in some cases challenging - a reading of New Testament texts as Jewish literature, they investigate how early followers of Jesus and their textual expressions took shape within the plural world of early Judaism in its Greco-Roman environment. They evaluate the approach's explanatory power, its limits, and what its application achieves when directed toward specific texts.
 

 To begin with, definitional and methodological issues are addressed: how the boundaries of "Judaism" should be drawn, whether the Jewishness of individual writings must be demonstrated case by case, and how chronological, ethnic, or theological criteria contribute to classification. The contributors further explore how interethnic settings of the first century reshaped perceptions of boundaries between Jews and Gentiles, including eschatological and soteriological aspects.
 

 They also investigate, through New Testament texts, interactions between believers in Jesus and the broader Jewish ethnos, highlighting inner-Jewish tensions, Roman and pagan perceptions, and the role of external observation in shaping emerging identities.
 

 Literary and genre-oriented contributions examine how Gospels, letters, and the Apocalypse function as rhetorical acts of self-definition. Attention to Greco-Roman forms such as the bios underscores the need for broader interpretive frameworks, including social identity complexity theory. Contributions on worship, messianic faith, and life practices situate even polemical or innovative features within the diverse spectrum of early Judaism.

This book investigates the history of the Protestant voting blocs and associations in the Irish border counties of Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan, from 1920 to 2016. While there are many studies on the history of Irish Unionism and Protestantism, there has been a lack of research concerning the political history of the Protestant community in the border counties following partition. Many Protestant Unionists in counties Cavan, Donegal, and Monaghan felt betrayed by their six county counterparts breaking the Ulster Covenant in abandoning a nine-county Northern Ireland. However, the Unionist Associations of these counties evolved after the implementation of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1922 and adapted to their new political environment by becoming ‘Protestant’ Associations. The author seeks to explore how these Associations were established, and how they reacted to political changes during the twentieth century. Arguing that Protestant Associations arose as a Unionist shock response to Ireland’s partition in 1922, the author demonstrates how they aimed to ensure their political representation and the maintaining of Protestant interests. Support for these associations dwindled over time due to demographic change, a decline in membership of the Orange Order, and the gradual erosion of Southern Protestantism as a separate political identity over the course of multiple generations. Shedding light on why these associations lasted until the twenty-first century, and then disbanded, this book examines how former Southern Unionists in the border counties evolved their political identity following partition.

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This book explains how ideology can be better integrated into economic history analysis, arguing that if economists and economic historians are to fully understand economic behaviour a much deeper appreciation of ideological processes is required. The book has two parts. The first part presents a comprehensive theory of ideology and ideological change that can be easily incorporated into economic analysis; the second provides an empirical case study of ideological change from East Germany of the 1960s.
The book demonstrates how current restrictive views of ideology found within mainstream economics can be enhanced by adopting a more expansive, multidisciplinary understanding of ideology and its role in the processes of economic change. Merging a view of ideology as a fluid and politically practical concept with the framework of change offered by institutional economics, the authors use this theory to provide an in-depth analysis of how the ideological case for the New Economic System in East Germany and for de-Stalinisation more generally in the 1960s was built. Rich in archival material, the book both deepens our understanding of economic change in the communist world in the post-Stalin era and demonstrates the multifaceted role of ideology in economic decision making. With a cutting-edge approach, this book will be a valuable resource for students of economics, economic history, political economy, as well as of communist and German history.
