The Frontiers of Green Capitalism

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER &amp; WINNER OF THE FOOTBALL BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD A TIMES SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR AN IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR AN IRISH INDEPENDENT BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Important, perfectly timed and hugely necessary.' The Guardian 'A monumental piece of investigative journalism.' Irish Times 'A must-read on how modern football works.' Ian Wright 'Brave, forensic and utterly gripping.' Tom Holland ______________________________ The definitive account of how capitalism and the world's elite corrupted modern football. Fully updated to cover Saudi Arabia's 2034 World Cup bid, the Manchester City charges case and PSG winning the Champions League. As the 2022 World Cup in Qatar drew to a close, there was a bitter undercurrent to Argentina's triumph. Throughout the tournament, numerous allegations of sportswashing and financial misconduct had been made against the state of Qatar, moving what had previously been a smaller conversation into the worldwide spotlight. The question had been asked, who really owns and runs football? Journeying from Abu Dhabi to Newcastle, and onto London, Paris, Moscow and New York, journalist Miguel Delaney investigates the allegations of sportswashing and misconduct in the beautiful game. The result is a gripping account of how football has been taken over by the world's wealthiest businessmen, state-backed corporations, media tycoons and oil-rich oligarchs. From Neymar's £198 million transfer to Paris Saint-Germain and Abu Dhabi's construction empire in Manchester to failed Financial Fair Play constraints and the dawn of the European Super League, Miguel draws on exclusive interviews and unprecedented access to key stakeholders to produce an all-encompassing exposé of modern footballs highest echelons. Authoritative, riveting and eye-opening, States of Play reveals how football has become a tool for the world's elite. ______________________________ Miguel Delaney's STATES OF PLAY was ranked in the Irish Times bestsellers list the weeks of 11th-18th November &amp; 9th December 2024.

How Sportswashing Took Over Football | The International Bestseller & Winner of the Football Book of the Year Award

States of Play

"Bad Blood meets Dreamland in this kaleidoscopic investigation into the shadowy and vampiric blood business and the dangerous limits of demand for the crucial resource that runs through our very veins. Every year, about twenty million Americans sell blood plasma for cash in a barely regulated market dominated by private industry and off-the-grid trafficking. These commercial efforts prey on an insatiable market for medical and scientific innovation fed from the veins of some of the country's most marginalized communities, such as undocumented immigrants and residents of poverty-stricken Flint, Michigan. We are often told that "blood donations" are used to save lives, but blood plasma, a component of whole blood, has become a precious commercial good. Blood plasma is collected and marketed by private industry, with the United States one of just five nations on the planet that have not yet banned the practice of pay-for-plasma giving. This precious resource is used for everything from expensive and unproven age-reversing treatments to costly and experimental cures for novel diseases like COVID-19. Based on a cross-country investigation into the plasma-giving capitals of the country, in-depth research into the blood industry, and her personal experience as a beneficiary of plasma-derived treatment for a rare condition, Kathleen McLaughlin's Blood Money reveals the underhanded machinations and unbalanced power structures of the blood industry. Taking us from China's blood black market to Silicon Valley's shadowy tech startups, this is an unforgettable inside look at an industry many of us had no idea even existed. Blood Money is an electrifying exposâe that demonstrates the shadowy overlap between big medicine and big business and paints a searing portrait of the extent to which American industry feeds on the country's most vulnerable"--

Blood Money

'FINANCIAL JOURNALISM AT ITS BEST . . . UTTERLY TERRIFYING' PETER OBORNE 'PART WAKE-UP CALL, PART FINANCIAL THRILLER' SHAMI CHAKRABARTI A thrilling, eye-opening investigation into private equity, a secretive wing of the finance industry that is so relentlessly destructive, it could have been created to undermine our way of life You don't know their names, but they own the house you rent. They own your hospitals, nurseries and care homes, the media you consume and the companies you work for. They even own the tools your union uses to fight back. Business is a contest - and they say their people are built to win. But when does competition become a struggle to the death? For decades, private equity firms have infiltrated every corner of modern life. Wielding debt as a weapon, they push vital services into crisis. Their cover story: that this is merely the 'creative destruction' essential to growth. Old-school capitalists say they're dismantling everything that made our economies work. In The Asset Class, reporter Hettie O'Brien penetrates a hidden empire of billion-dollar deals and covert financial warfare. From Copenhagen to San Francisco, Barcelona to the Yorkshire Dales, she follows the money, the ideological roots and the trail of destruction. What she finds is chilling: private equity isn't just reshaping the economy - it's selling out the foundations of Western society. The new owners think they can hide in the shadows. But the owned are fighting back. 'DEFTLY LIFTS THE CURTAIN ON A MURKY WORLD OF GREED AND DESTRUCTION' DANNY DORLING 'DAZZLING' HA-JOON CHANG 'ESSENTIAL' GRACE BLAKELEY 'WILD' JOLYON MAUGHAM

How Private Equity Turned Capitalism Against Itself

The Asset Class

Across the world, algorithms are changing the nature of work. Nowhere is this clearer than in the logistics and distribution sectors, where workers are instructed, tracked and monitored by increasingly dystopian management technologies. In Cyberboss, Craig Gent takes us into workplaces where algorithms rule to excavate the politics behind the newest form of managerial power. Combining worker testimony and original research on companies such as Amazon, Uber, and Deliveroo, the cutting edge of algorithmic management technology, this book reveals the sometimes unexpected effects these new techniques have on work, workers and managers. Gent advances an alternative politics of resistance in the face of digital control.

There is a climate crisis, extinctions are accelerating, forests are disappearing, water cycles are collapsing and pollution is choking our skies and seas. 

It is easy to be defeatist about the fate of our planet. 

And yet, despite it all, it's not too late: things can change for the better. 

Fred Pearce has been reporting from the frontline of climate change and environmental recovery for over four decades and what he has seen has given him reason - in fact, seven reasons - for (cautious) hope. Here, we learn how nature is finding ways to thrive in unexpected places, how the population bomb has been defused, how our consumerist societies are finally approaching 'peak stuff', and how a combination of ancient wisdom and modern technology can help us correct our course.

A Handbook for Climate Hopefuls

Despite It All

In the aftermath of a national disaster, a couple look back on their marriage and what it cost them in this groundbreaking novel about capitalism's effect on the human heart *Guardian best translated fiction of 2025* 'Buzzes with electricity... intriguing, maddening, exciting. I'm in' Observer 'Like a normal novel with the boring bits taken out' Guardian Maggie and Kurt are struggling to hold their marriage together after their only daughter has left home. They live in an old farmhouse in Nyborg but somehow keep missing each other, unable to discuss the events that brought them together. Decades ago, a passenger ferry called the Scandinavian Star caught fire, killing 159 people. The event is still considered a national tragedy in Denmark and Norway. Years later, it was revealed not to be an accident, but the result of an insurance scam gone wrong. How is the Scandinavian Star disaster connected to Maggie and Kurt? How does money affect and infect our closest relationships? And is it ever possible to escape? 'Taut and intelligent... a moving love story and an incendiary indictment of contemporary society' Literary Review 'A comet in Scandinavian literature' OLGA RAVN 'Startling and irresistible' CLAIRE-LOUISE BENNETT 'Unusual, fascinating, and complicated in the best way' CLAIRE FULLER 'Nordenhof's writing is electrifying' CHETNA MAROO

Money to Burn

**LONGLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024** 'Riveting and explosive. This is the business story of our time.' Christopher Leonard, New York Times Bestselling Author of Kochland and The Lords of Easy Money 'A hard-hitting analysis of Amazon's dominance. Makes a compelling case that no company should be this powerful.' Financial Times --- From veteran Amazon reporter for The Wall Street Journal, The Everything War is the first untold, devastating exposé of Amazon's endless strategic greed, its pursuit of total domination, by any means necessary, and the growing efforts to stop it. For over twenty years, Amazon was the quintessential American success story, whilst its "customer obsession" approach made it indelibly attractive to consumers across the globe. But the company was not benevolent; it operated in ways that ensured it stayed on top, coming to dominate over a dozen industries beyond retail, growing voraciously by abusing data, exploiting partners, copying competitors, and avoiding taxes-leveraging its power to extract whatever it could, at any cost and without much scrutiny. Until now. With unparalleled access, and having interviewed hundreds of people - from Amazon executives to competitors to small businesses who rely on its marketplace to survive - Dana Mattioli exposes how Amazon was driven by a competitive edge to dominate every industry it entered, bulldozed all who stood in its way, reshaped the retail landscape, transformed how Wall Street evaluates companies, and altered the very nature of the global economy. In 2023, the Federal Trade Commission filed a monopoly lawsuit against Amazon in what may become one of the largest antitrust cases in the 21st century. As Amazon's supremacy is finally challenged, The Everything War is the definitive, inside story of how it grew into one of the most powerful and feared companies in the world - and why this is the most consequential business story of our times. Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award 2024, announced August 2024.

The Corfu Trilogy

Gerald Durrell's beloved account of his childhood in Corfu, now in Penguin Modern Classics for the first time 'When My Family and Other Animals was published it was as if someone had flung back the curtains, thrown up the windows and let in a stream of bright light' - Kathryn Hughes, Guardian 'Gerald Durrell was magic' - Sir David Attenborough 'Living in Corfu was rather like living in one of the more flamboyant and slapstick comic operas' It is 1935 and the Durrells have escaped the leaden summer skies of Bournemouth to arrive 'like a troupe of medieval tumblers' on the sun-drenched island of Corfu for a new life. Gerald Durrell's beloved portrayal of his chaotic family - beatific Mother, Roger the dog, diet-obsessed Margo, book-loving Lawrence and gun-wielding Leslie - as well as his own adventures with a burgeoning menagerie of beasts, birds and insects (including an owl called Ulysses), is a timeless account of an idyllic childhood and an uproarious portrait of the English abroad.

'A crucial, riveting polemic in support of one of the most precious things humanity has built - democracy itself' OWEN JONES'Graham Smith shows what fools our rotten constitution makes of us, with a monarch as emblem of a country beset by nepotism, backhanders, chumocracy and inherited privilege. Read and rebel!' POLLY TOYNBEEWe're constantly told the same things about the monarchy:But the monarchy is good for tourism.. It isn't! Evidence points to some royal weddings actually having a negative impact on inbound tourism. But the monarchy makes a big difference to charity.. Of the approx. 1,200 charities with a royal patron, 74% had no contact with their patron during the preceding year. But everyone loves the monarchy.. A January 2023 poll showed support for the monarchy is down 55 percent. It's wrong in principle and it doesn't work in practice. It doesn't have to be this way. They say Britain should be proud to have the mother of parliaments, to be a shining beacon of democracy and an example to other nations. But there's an elephant in the room. At the heart of power is a single family. They weren't elected but they live off the public purse. They aren't accountable to anyone, and yet between them they are privy to more government secrets than many cabinet ministers. Divinely appointed using a special hat, the head of the family is your superior, you his subject. Apparently he is guardian of our constitution - but we're also told he wouldn't dream of interfering in politics. If you accept the monarchy, you must accept the moral compromise that comes with it, from its erosion of the principle of equality to the secret interference in our laws. But the good news is that we don't have to accept it. True democracy is within our reach.
