Offering an excellent overview of critical approaches to international payment systems, this open access volume re-introduces the contemporary relevance, origins and aims of the International Clearing Union (ICU), a concept associated with J. M. Keynes and with debates of continued contemporary importance to global political economy. This volume focuses on how ICU proposals interact with economic theory and normative principles of ethics and politics. It examines key contemporary political issues including de-dollarisation, development, overcoming nationalism, principles of fairness in trade and finance, commodity pricing, fixed vs. floating exchange rates, capital controls, the need for planning, and global public investments, as well as urgent issues of climate emergency and ecological breakdown. As such, this important volume provides a wide range of perspectives from both the Global North and Global South, as well as from different disciplines including politics, economics and political theory.

Deweaponizing Interdependence

Research Series on Responsible Enterprise Ecosystems

This book studies the intersection of financial innovation, the environment, and enterprise, elucidating how these elements foster sustainable enterprises in developing and emerging economies. The contributions present a fresh, nuanced, and comprehensive examination of how innovative financing technologies and entrepreneurial innovations promote sustainable enterprises in these regions. Contributions from experts, academics, and practitioners across Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and South America offer diverse perspectives.


Given the pivotal role of enterprises in fostering economic growth and the significant influence of emerging and developing economies on global GDP, entrepreneurship, and business investment, it is critically imperative to explore this phenomenon for business sustainability and the attainment of sustainable development goals (SDGs) for a more sustainable future. Consequently, it is plausible to argue that deepening awareness of the intricate relationship between innovative financing technologies, the business environment, and entrepreneurial innovations to promote sustainable enterprises in developing and emerging economies would not only enhance understanding but also stimulate debate and provoke a reassessment of appropriate financing models and tools for supporting enterprise growth and sustainability in these regions.


While many finance and enterprise books tend to narrow their focus on developed economies, this book stands out for its wide-ranging and broad scope. It endeavors to explore issues from the perspectives of developing and emerging economies, offering readers a deeper and broader understanding of the challenges and opportunities at hand.

'Mary.' Her eyes went wide, lashes fluttering. 'What is that?' 'Well. If I am not mistaken - and I don't think I am - this is a pterodactyl.''Full of wonder and magic, the story will hold onto your imagination even after you've turned the last page. Five baby pterodactyls out of five.' HEATHER FAWCETT, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE EMILY WILDE SERIES 'Mary Anning, magic, politics, and a pterodactyl - with this intriguing mix, this delightful and clever book provides definitive proof that Victorian England needed more dinosaurs!' SARAH BETH DURST, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SPELLSHOP __________ When a Victorian fossil hunter discovers a baby pterodactyl, she vows to protect him with the help of a fellow scholar - her former fiancé - in this enchanting and transporting historical fantasy. Perfect for fans of Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries and A Natural History of Dragons Mary Anning wants to be a geomagician - a paleontologist who uses fossils to wield magic - but since the Geomagical Society of London refuses to admit women, she's stuck selling her discoveries to tourists instead. Then an ancient egg hatches in her hands, revealing a loveable baby pterodactyl Mary names Ajax, and she knows that this is the kind of scientific find that could make her career - if she's strategic. But when Mary contacts the Society about her discovery, they demand to take possession of Ajax. Their emissary is none other than Henry Stanton, a distinguished (and infuriatingly handsome) scholar... and the man who once broke Mary's heart. She knows she can't trust her fellow scholars, who want to discredit her and claim Ajax for their own, but Henry insists he believes in the brilliant Mary, and only wants to help her obtain the respect she deserves. Now Mary has a new mystery to solve that's buried deeper than any dinosaur skeleton: She must uncover the secrets behind the Society and the truth about Henry. As her conscience begins to chafe against her ambition, Mary must decide what lengths she's willing to go to finally belong - and what her heart really wants. 'Jennifer Mandula's The Geomagician is a magical story with my favorite sort of heroine - intelligent and strong but with a tender heart. Come for the enchanting writing. Stay for the baby pterodactly!' MEG SHAFFER, USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE WISHING GAME

The Geomagician

An evocative voyage through the Carpathian mountain range and its threatened landscape, peoples, and history &nbsp; The Carpathian Mountains of Poland, Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine are Europe’s last true wilderness. A landscape of great spruce and beech forests, grass meadows, and ancient villages, its people contend daily with the elements—as well as Europe’s last large carnivores. But this fragile ecosystem is now under threat, from climate change and illegal logging. &nbsp; Journeying from the banks of the Danube to Transylvania, Nick Thorpe guides us through the history and ecology of the watershed of Europe, between the Black Sea and the Baltic. For a thousand years the Carpathians have been a place of refuge, of identity and belonging, where powerful rulers and dynasties fought to gain control over rich gold seams and the unruly inhabitants of strategic valleys. Today, its inhabitants struggle to protect its vast forest habitat from urban sprawl as well as logging. &nbsp; Drawing on interviews with shepherds, foresters and loggers, and his four decades of experience in the region, Thorpe sheds light on a neglected part of Europe—where bears, wolves, chamois, and lynxes still roam.

Innovation doesn't just happen. You need to lead it. Discover the three critical roles leaders must play in driving--and scaling--innovation.Constant tech disruption. Unrelenting economic volatility. Radically shifting demographics and work norms. More than ever, we need to innovate amid these daunting global challenges. But do we have the leadership it takes to make this innovation happen successfully?As preeminent leadership scholar Linda Hill, Harvard researcher Emily Tedards, and former Microsoft innovation executive Jason Wild show in this powerful book, there are indeed exemplary leaders to learn from--and the authors present their stories in fascinating detail, not only igniting your imagination but providing instructive and inspiring models to follow. Hill's award-winning book Collective Genius began the crucial task of showing that successful innovation doesn't just happen--it needs to be led. Genius at Scale breaks new ground, showing how moving from generating new ideas to actually scaling them involves cocreation--collaborating, experimenting, and learning with others both inside and beyond the boundaries of the organization. This requires three distinct types of leadership: <ul><li>Leader as Architect: shaping culture and capabilities for cocreation</li><li>Leader as Bridger: building partnerships across teams and organizations</li><li>Leader as Catalyst: activating and cultivating movements across ecosystems</li></ul>The authors vividly profile these three types of leaders with individuals from all kinds of companies--from Mastercard, Pfizer, and Procter &amp; Gamble to Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Sampark Foundation, and ANA spinoff avatarin--who illustrate the mindset, skills, and digital savvy needed for leading in a world more uncertain and challenging than ever before.Genius at Scale provides an essential guide to mastering the art and practice of innovation for any current or aspiring leader.

How to build innovation and industrial ecosystems in the US that support global leadership in priority technologies of the future. A new world order is emerging, and within it, US priorities are shifting. A reconfiguration of global supply chains. The redrawing of geopolitical lines and alliances with increasing threats of conflict. A rise in weather-related disasters. And the emergence of transformative technologies. All these factors are converging to create an environment filled with uncertainty and change—but also possibility. For the country to flourish as well as defend and secure its interests, it must build on its decades of experience in developing frontier technologies and globally competitive industries through investments into priority technologies for the twenty-first century. This volume, edited by Elisabeth Reynolds, presents a high-level introduction to some of the key areas where the United States must excel and lead in the coming decades to ensure both national and economic security. The book provides an overview of six key priority technologies—critical minerals, semiconductors, biomanufacturing, quantum computing, drones, and advanced manufacturing—needed to build the innovation and industrial ecosystems that will keep the US secure and drive shared prosperity. Contributors: Elsa A. Olivetti, Jesús del Alamo, J. Christopher Love, William D. Oliver, Jonathan Ruane, and Fiona E. Murray.
