Take a fascinating trip through more than 2,500 years of groundbreaking ideas and discoveries that have shaped how we understand the human mind.Psych. takes you on a journey through the rich and fascinating history of psychology - from the early philosophical musings of Aristotle and Plato to the game-changing theories of Sigmund Freud, Abraham Maslow, and Paul Bloom.Created by a team of specialist experts, and consultant Tom Buxton-Cope, the book combines engaging and authoritative narrative with stunning visuals and a clean, modern design, breaking down the major concepts and developments that have defined the field, and profiling the key figures who have made psychology what it is today.Packed with eye-catching photography, bold graphics, and thought-provoking quotes, Psych. makes complex ideas in understanding, memory, behaviour, and emotion easier than ever to grasp. It also explains all of the key breakthroughs - from psychoanalysis to cognitive science - that have made psychology one of the most vital sciences of our time.In this fascinating book, you will discover:¿ The incredible global history of psychology from its roots in philosophy to the cutting-edge fields of developmental psychology and neuroscience ¿ Clear and simple graphic explanations of the most important theories of all time ¿ Biographies of the most important figures in the field - from Carl Jung to Jean Piaget ¿ The stories behind some of the most important (and often infamous) psychological studies of all time - including The Bobo Doll Experiment, The Stanford Prison Experiment, and the Milgram Obedience Study...in a stunning, giftable package with boldly printed page edges.In a world increasingly curious about the human mind, Psych. is an essential and timely reflection on the history of psychology and its potential impact on the future of humanity.

The global market in money – housed in the offshore ‘shadow’ banking system – holds $217 trillion in financial assets and operates beyond the reach of any nation’s taxman. Asset managers, private equity firms, and pension and sovereign wealth funds scoop up the world’s savings for investment and manage them as they choose, unaccountable to politicians or the citizens who elect them. In this brilliant, accessible and incisive introduction to the murky world of glo­balized finance, Ann Pettifor links the activities of remote mobile financial markets to both the cost-of-living and climate crises. In an insane global casino, bankers are gambling with our future. When we foot the bill, no one but a few economists understands what has happened. The result is volatile, unpre­dictable and uncontrollable speculation in global commodities, pension, energy, and housing. Pettifor argues that societies and gov­ernments can take back control of the global financial system. We have done it before and can do it again. Indeed, it is imperative that we do so if we are to manage the twin threats of climate breakdown and biosphere collapse.

Reciprocity begins with a simple but unsettling question: why have we come to believe that human beings are naturally self-interested, competitive and acquisitive? This galvanising, perspective-shifting book dismantles the myth of Homo economicus to show us the way towards a world whose realities align with our true selves.Drawing on a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, evolutionary biology, economics and social epidemiology, Richard Wilkinson demonstrates that the characteristics which we assume to be our human nature are in fact effects of the market societies we live in. He traces how various systems of exchange have created profoundly different forms of social life throughout the course of history, shaping our behaviours, motivations, and the kinds of people we become. Though it may often feel like it, the avarice and oppressions that defines the twenty-first century are not an unchangeable reality we simply have to live with.The book explains why inequality, status competition and consumerism hold so much power over us and reveals the depths to which these forces are entwined with the ever-rising crises of mental illness, political polarisation and environmental destruction. Rather than asking how we can make individuals behave better, it makes a compelling case for restructuring our societies to make life happier, meaningful and more fulfilling for one and all.Rigorously researched, bracingly practical and full of passion and hope in equal measure, Reciprocity offers a bold reinterpretation of the world we live in. It equips us with the necessary tools to look beyond and remake it in our very own, amiably human image.

Reclaiming Our Humanity from the Market

Reciprocity

This book examines the parlous state of local government in England, where an increasing number of local authorities are becoming financially unsustainable as years of austerity and underfunding take their toll. Meanwhile, centralism and centralist thinking have continued to intensify since the 1980s, with Westminster and Whitehall increasingly viewing local government as an agent of the centre rather than as politically representative governing institutions.&nbsp; Against this backdrop, the book explores the long-term crisis affecting local government in England. It analyses the key values that underpin the idea of local government, and the extent to which these values have been ignored or diluted over the past fifty years. It also examines the potential local government holds to provide local solutions to local problems, drawing on examples from Europe to illustrate how that potential can be realised. Finally, the book sets out an agenda for constitutional, strategic, and operational reform to reverse the persistent drift toward centralism, and enable local government to once again fulfil a genuinely governmental role.&nbsp; Following Labour's victory in the 2024 election, this book offers a timely reassessment of the importance and future of local government in England. It will appeal to readers interested in politics and public administration, as well as practitioners and policymakers.

Der Ökonom Daniel Stährlegt eine fundierte Kritik an der Übermachtseiner eigenen Disziplin und deren Einfluss auf die Politik und unser Zusammenleben vor.Ökonomen und Ökonominnen sitzen im Zentrum der Macht, beraten Regierungen und Unternehmen, lenken die Geschicke von Staaten und Institutionen. Ihr gigantischer Einfluss erstreckt sich von der Politik bis in unsere Privatsphäre, sie bestimmen die Höhe unseres Lohns und unser Match auf der Dating App. Ob in der Klimakatastrophe oder der Pandemie: Weltweit legen wir unser Vertrauen in eine faktenfreie Wissenschaft, die kein Konzept von Moral oder Gerechtigkeit kennt - und das kostet Menschenleben. Daniel Stähr legt eine überfällige Intervention aus den eigenen Reihen vor, die zeigt: Es könnte auch ganz anders sein.'Differenziert und souverän erzählt Daniel Stähr von der Übermacht der Ökonomen. Sorgfältig legt er Ideologien frei, wo absolute Objektivitätsansprüche wuchern, und führt uns nebenher äußerst unterhaltsam durch die Geschichte der Wirtschaftswissenschaften.' Theresia Enzensberger

Wie Ökonomen unsere Zukunft verspielen | Ein Debattenbuch aus der eigenen Zunft

Die neuen Propheten

Können Handelskriege Chancen für unsere Zukunft sein? Globaler Handel generiert Wohlstand und sichert Frieden ab. Aber was passiert, wenn diese Stabilität ins Wanken gerät? Die renommierten Ökonomen Chad P. Bown und Soumaya Keynes geben in diesem Buch einen spannenden Überblick über die Ursprünge und Wirkungsweisen von globalen Handelsabkommen. Und sie gehen der Frage nach, wo und warum in den letzten Jahrzehnten Risse im System entstanden sind. Wie kam es zur Eskalation der globalen Handelsbeziehungen durch Donald Trump und welche Chancen liegen in einem Umbruch der alten Abkommen? Auf eindrückliche Weise zeigen die Autoren, dass mit den richtigen Strategien nun die einmalige Möglichkeit besteht, ein völlig neues internationales Handelssystem aufzubauen, das Frieden und Wohlstand begünstigt und damit wirklich zukunftsfähig ist.Nominiert für den Deutschen Wirtschaftsbuchpreis 2026.

How to Win A Trade War

All systems fail. All societies crumble. All worlds end. Nebula Award, Ray Bradbury Prize and Arthur C. Clarke Award finalist and Hugo and Locus Award winner Ray Nayler returns with a gripping technological thriller. 'A fast-paced dystopian thriller' - SFX Magazine 'First-rate science fiction' - Cory Doctorow 'As much a novel of ideas as it is a techno-thriller . . . A more erudite and emotionally engaging Philip K Dick' - Irish Times In a familiar yet different Europe governed by AI, life is more efficient, objective, and peaceful. Yet all is not as it seems. Meanwhile, at Europe's eastern edge, the Federation endures under the rule of a President who has preserved his power by transferring his consciousness from body to body. As both worlds begin to crumble, Lilia, a Federation scientist, discovers a way to slip the nets of surveillance and alter the balance of power. On the run, she becomes the reluctant centre of a struggle between resistance and control. Yet the systems and people surrounding her may already be beyond redemption. Is there any way to put humanity's future back in its own hands?

Where the Axe is Buried

A practical, universal guide to embedding innovation into your working life. The alchemists never found gold. They searched for centuries. They failed completely. And in failing, they invented modern chemistry, porcelain, phosphorus, and the scientific method itself. The search for the impossible created the invaluable. This is the Alchemist Mindset - and it's exactly what AI cannot replicate. In Innovation Alchemy, Maks Giordano draws on 30 years of innovation work and interviews with over 20 world-leading practitioners - from Google's first Chief Innovation Evangelist to the designer who shaped Apple's iconic identity - to reveal what makes humans irreplaceable in an age of perfect machines. This isn't another book about how to use AI. It's about what AI creates space for. You'll discover:<ul><li>Why human "wandering" produces breakthroughs that optimization never finds</li><li>How the greatest innovators turn accidents into advantages</li><li>Creative practices you can apply regardless of your industry or company size</li><li>Practical tools for productive exploration - not just efficient execution</li></ul> The alchemists never found gold. They found everything else. What will you find?

'Capitalism seems invincible and inevitable. It is neither. Clara Mattei illustrates brilliantly its fragility and restores hope that everything could be different' Yanis Varoufakis Economics is sold as pure and apolitical: scientific, neutral, exact. This urgent book exposes its true role: to convince us there's no alternative to capitalism. We live in a world dominated by the dogma that austerity is necessary, unemployment natural, endless wars inevitable and central banks all-powerful. It doesn't have to be this way. In her bold, ground-breaking manifesto, economist Clara E. Mattei tears the mask off our economic system. She unpacks key concepts like growth, inflation, unemployment and balanced budgets to show how they're weaponized to enforce market dependence, not freedom, stripping us of the power to shape the democratic decisions that govern our daily lives. Enduring problems such as poverty and inequality are not accidents or bugs in the economy, but core features - justified with pseudoscientific models to support a system that unfairly rewards people with the most resources. Why should we accept this? Capitalism, Mattei argues, isn't inevitable, scientific, or natural - it's a relatively young system that can be replaced. Inspired by a lineage of political resistance, Escape from Capitalism calls for us to challenge the broken economics of our times, and pave the way towards liberation.

Economics is Political, and Other Liberating Truths

Escape From Capitalism

Tras la devastación de la Primera Guerra Mundial, John Maynard Keynes ofrece una mirada aguda y valiente sobre las decisiones tomadas en la Conferencia de París. Con argumentos sólidos, revela cómo el Tratado de Versalles no buscó reconstruir Europa, sino castigar y debilitar a Alemania, sembrando inestabilidad económica y social. Este libro analiza las consecuencias de imponer reparaciones imposibles, destruir sistemas productivos y romper el equilibrio continental. Más que un ensayo económico, es una advertencia histórica: una paz basada en el resentimiento puede convertirse en el origen de nuevas tragedias. Una obra imprescindible y actual. 
 JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES (1883-1946). Economista británico y una de las figuras más influyentes del siglo XX. Estudió en Cambridge y trabajó como funcionario del gobierno. Participó en la Conferencia de Paz de París tras la Primera Guerra Mundial, lo que inspiró su obra Las consecuencias económicas de la paz (1919). Su libro más importante, Teoría general del empleo, el interés y el dinero (1936), transformó la economía moderna al proponer que el Estado intervenga para reducir el desempleo y enfrentar crisis.

Las consecuencias económicas de la paz

** A Financial Times Best Summer Book of 2025** A sweeping history of capitalism as seen through the eyes of its fiercest critics At a time when we are faced with fundamental questions about the sustainability and morality of the economic system, Capitalism and Its Critics provides a kaleidoscopic history of global capitalism, from colonialism and the Industrial Revolution to the ecological crisis and artificial intelligence.John Cassidy adopts a bold new approach: he tells the story through the eyes of the system's critics. From eighteenth-century weavers who rebelled against early factory automation to Eric Williams's paradigm-changing work on slavery and capitalism, to the Latin American dependistas, the international Wages for Housework campaign of the 1970s, and the modern degrowth movement, this absorbing narrative traverses the globe. It looks at familiar figures - Smith, Marx, Luxemburg, Keynes, Polanyi - from a fresh perspective, but also focuses on many less familiar, including William Thompson, the Irish proto-socialist whose work influenced Marx; Flora Tristan, the French proponent of a universal labour union; John Hobson, the original theorist of imperialism; and J. C. Kumarappa, the Indian exponent of Gandhian economics.Blending biography, panoramic history, and lively exploration of economic theories, Capitalism and Its Critics illuminates the deep roots of many of the most urgent issues of our time.
