Generative AI Insights for Financial
Decision Making

Generative AI Insights for Financial Decision Making

Independent, inflation-targeting central banks were supposed to deliver stable prices, financial stability and lasting prosperity. Instead, they have presided over financial crises, stagnant growth, rising inequality and the return of inflation. Yet policy makers and politicians have proved remarkably reluctant to challenge the orthodoxy. Why has this model proved so resilient-and what should replace it? In The Gods That Failed, economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that today's macroeconomic policy framework rests on five powerful myths that have shaped economic thinking since the 1980s. From the "natural" rate of interest and the management of inflation expectations to efficient financial markets and the taboos surrounding fiscal dominance and credit policy, these ideas continue to constrain policymakers even as the evidence against them becomes overwhelming. Blending colourful economic history, cutting-edge research and vivid real-world examples, Ryan-Collins opens-up the often opaque and technocratic world of monetary and financial policy for a wide readership and illustrates its fundamental flaws. At a time of repeated economic and financial shocks, ecological breakdown and geopolitical instability, The Gods That Failed argues that rebuilding our economies will require a wholesale rethinking of how central banks, governments and financial institutions work together to manage money, credit and the macroeconomy.

Rethinking Central Banking and Macrofinancial Policy for the Age of Polycrisis

The Gods that Failed

Routledge Advances in Production and Operations Management

In an era of rapid technological evolution, supply chains are undergoing a transformative shift, particularly in industries like garment manufacturing, where transparency, efficiency, and ethics are under increasing scrutiny. This book explores how digital technologies - such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data analytics - are reshaping supply chain management to enhance social welfare.While much research has focused on the environmental impact of digitalization, this book shifts the lens to social sustainability, investigating how technology can improve labor conditions, ensure fair wages, and promote ethical sourcing in the garment industry. It provides a customer-centric perspective on digital transformation, examining how increased transparency in supply chains can empower consumers, encourage corporate accountability, and ultimately drive better social outcomes. Through real-world examples and case studies, readers will gain insight into the challenges and opportunities of implementing digital solutions to address systemic social issues within the industry.This book is essential reading for academics and scholars interested in the intersection of technology, supply chain management, and social responsibility.

A Customer Perspective

Digital Transformation and Social Welfare in Fashion Supply Chains

Banking is entering a new era defined by open banking, embedded finance, artificial intelligence, digital assets, and a growing wave of fintech-led innovation. Yet despite significant investment and technological advances, many financial institutions continue to struggle with the same fundamental challenge: how to successfully collaborate with fintechs to create value for customers, shareholders, and society.Drawing on more than 15 years of international experience across banking, fintech, capital raising, and financial services innovation, this book provides a practical roadmap for navigating the rapidly evolving financial ecosystem. Combining insights from Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America, the book examines how banks, fintech founders, investors, regulators, and corporate leaders can build effective partnerships, avoid common pitfalls, and accelerate innovation at scale.Through real-world examples, strategic frameworks, and lessons from successful fintech-bank collaborations, readers will gain a clear understanding of how open innovation is reshaping financial services, why many partnerships fail, and what organizations can do to position themselves for long-term success. The book also explores emerging trends including open banking, embedded finance, digital transformation, venture investment, and the future competitive landscape of financial services.Written for banking executives, fintech entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and finance professionals, this book offers an accessible and actionable guide to one of the most important shifts transforming the global financial industry today.&nbsp;Mahi Sall

The Basics

Finance

This popular textbook offers a broad and accessible introduction to the building blocks of modern finance: financial markets, institutions and instruments. Theory is blended with real-world data, cases and numerical worked examples to offer a broad and accessible introduction to the building blocks of modern finance in the 5th edition of Finance and Financial Markets. The book features assessment and self-test resources to help support students and lecturers, as well as extensive discussion of regulatory developments, case studies involving FinTech and Brexit and fully updated data. An updated companion website is also available which offers lecturer slides and multiple choice questions. This new edition has updated data and cases throughout, ensuring that it is as up-to-date as possible in this fast-moving area. New material has been introduced relating to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, emerging markets and sustainable finance. The opening five chapters provide an introduction to the world of finance and cover the basic theory relating to the operation of financial institutions and the domestic and offshore (Eurocurrency) money markets. Chapters 6 to 10 deal with both the theory and practice relating to capital markets. The theory covers areas such as portfolio diversification, the capital asset pricing model, the Gordon growth model and the efficient market hypothesis, while the practice looks at the domestic and international bond markets and equity markets. After an examination of the foreign exchange market and forward markets, the final chapters of this comprehensive textbook cover derivative instruments, financial innovations and, as a closing reflection, financial regulation. Finance and Financial Markets is ideally suited to students at all levels who take economics, business and finance courses, as well as for those who want to understand the workings of the modern financial world.

Finance and Financial Markets

A revelatory financial history showing that today's massive Islamic finance industry was preceded by decades of Muslim interest banking across Eurasia and Africa. Since the 1970s, the now multi-trillion-dollar Islamic finance industry has offered interest-free banking to Muslims around the world. Its proponents maintain that Islamic law strictly forbids all forms of financial interest. Many academic accounts echo this perspective, assuming that before the 1970s, Muslims either avoided interest banking out of deep-seated religious hostility or practiced it in defiance of religious stricture. Yet as Michael O'Sullivan argues, these narratives overlook rich traditions of Muslim interest banking that preceded Islamic finance. In the early twentieth century, the first modern Muslim-owned interest banks appeared across Eurasia and Africa-from India to the Ottoman Empire, Tsarist Russia, Habsburg Bosnia, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Palestine, and Indonesia. Viewed as a solution to Muslim economic distress, these banks intensified debates among Muslims about both the Islamic legal tradition and acceptable economic practices. While interest banks raised suspicions among some Islamic legal scholars, others explicitly defended their legality and encouraged Muslim entrepreneurs. Ultimately, O'Sullivan shows that the Islamic finance industry's commitment to interest-free banking was a product of contingency as much as principle. It was a combination of bank failures, high rates of indebtedness, and changing religious interpretations that eventually led many Muslims to reject interest banking and demand a replacement more commensurate with an "Islamic economy." Even so, the religious debates inaugurated by the first Muslim interest banks persist to this day. A vibrant portrait of economic life in the so-called peripheries of capital, The Borrower's Refuge is a major contribution to the global history of finance.

Customer Advocacy That Counts

Hart Studies in European Criminal Law

This book offers a comprehensive legal analysis of the urgent challenges posed by deepfakes, focusing on the restrictive measures proposed or introduced to address their related harms. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the harms associated with deepfakes - especially in areas like non-consensual sexualised content and political disinformation - and how criminal and digital regulatory systems are attempting to respond. From a criminal law perspective, the book offers a dual-level critique. On the one hand, criminal law is invoked for its expressive and symbolic function, particularly in response to the discriminatory and gender-based harms often associated with deepfakes, as well as the broader need to prevent systemic risks to democratic society when it comes to electoral manipulation and freedom of thought. Here, criminal law would play a vital role in affirming societal condemnation of such conduct and in acknowledging the serious impact on victims. On the other hand, its use is increasingly entangled with emerging frameworks of digital regulation, taking on a more instrumental role in defining illegal content and reinforcing standards shaped primarily by private platforms and regulatory bodies. This dual function raises fundamental questions about the legitimacy and efficacy of using criminal law-the most coercive form of state power-for purposes that extend beyond its traditional scope. Additionally, the book explores regulatory measures aimed at controlling deepfakes, considered both as AI-generated content and as harmful online material. Discussions around content moderation, transparency duties-such as labelling and watermarking-and safety by design measures are gaining attention globally, with the European Union's Digital Services Act and AI Act leading the way. The book's primary goal is to bridge the two worlds of criminal law and digital regulation through a careful and critical analysis, making it a valuable resource for a broad audience.

Harmful AI-generated Content between Criminal Law and Digital Regulation

Addressing Deepfakes

This book offers a multidisciplinary analysis of the technologies that are transforming financial services, markets, and regulation. It examines the rise of digital payments, peer-to-peer lending, challenger banks, blockchain, big data, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. It aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application while also offering guidance on how individuals, businesses, and financial institutions can leverage fintech innovations to their advantage. Not only does it discuss the current fintech trends but also explores future developments and potential disruptions in the financial sector. In an era where fintech is transforming traditional finance, this book addresses the growing need for accessible, up-to-date, and reliable information on the subject. It will be an essential resource for academics, researchers, students, and practitioners seeking to navigate the ever-evolving financial landscape.Brian Lucey&nbsp;
