*VANITY FAIR'S BEST BOOKS OF 2025*ONE OF NEW REPUBLIC'S BOOKS OF THE YEAR*KIRKUS' BEST NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2025*ONE OF AV CLUB'S BEST BOOKS OF 2025*"[An] indictment of an industry that has cannily tilted the playing field in its favor. Bad Company details how clichéd abstractions like ‘consolidation’ and ‘efficiency’ have given cover to real betrayals.” - The New York TimesA timely work of singular reportage and a damning indictment of the private equity industry told through the stories of four American workers whose lives and communities were upended by the ruinous effects of private equity takeovers.Private equity runs our country, yet few Americans have any idea how ingrained it is in their lives. Private equity controls our hospitals, daycare centers, supermarket chains, voting machine manufacturers, local newspapers, nursing home operators, fertility clinics, and prisons. The industry even manages highways, municipal water systems, fire departments, emergency medical services, and owns a growing swath of commercial and residential real estate.Private equity executives, meanwhile, are not only among the wealthiest people in American society, but have grown to become modern-day barons with outsized influence on our politics and legislation. CEOs of firms like Blackstone, Carlyle, KKR, and Apollo are rewarded with seats in the Senate and on the boards of the country’s most august institutions; meanwhile, entire communities are hollowed out as a result of their buyouts. Workers lose their jobs. Communities lose their institutions. Only private equity wins.Acclaimed journalist Megan Greenwell’s Bad Company unearths the hidden story of private equity by examining the lives of four American workers that were devastated as private equity upended their employers and communities: a Toys R Us floor supervisor, a rural doctor, a local newspaper journalist, and an affordable housing organizer. Taken together, their individual experiences also pull back the curtain on a much larger project: how private equity reshaped the American economy to serve its own interests, creating a new class of billionaires while stripping ordinary people of their livelihoods, their health care, their homes, and their sense of security.In the tradition of deeply human reportage like Matthew Desmond’s Evicted, Megan Greenwell pulls back the curtain on shadowy multibillion dollar private equity firms, telling a larger story about how private equity is reshaping the economy, disrupting communities, and hollowing out the very idea of the American dream itself. Timely and masterfully told, Bad Company is a forceful rebuke of America’s most consequential, yet least understood economic forces.

Handbook of the Economics of Identity: Volume 1

The Social Optimization of Collective Judgment: A Multiobjective Framework from Consensus to Human-Machine Collaboration presents a unified treatment of expert judgment aggregation under uncertainty. The book demonstrates how a broad family of optimization-based aggregation methods can be understood within a single framework built on simplex-constrained quantile averaging. It develops aggregation models that progressively incorporate consensus, fairness, social welfare, altruism, reproducibility, scalability, and human-machine collaboration, providing both theoretical foundations and practical implementation guidance. The book begins with the foundations of classical pooling and optimization-driven aggregation before developing socially grounded aggregation methods that incorporate fairness, welfare, and altruistic objectives. It then addresses scalable and reproducible optimization techniques, including hierarchical aggregation and convex reformulations. A dedicated chapter examines the integration of large language models as virtual experts within auditable decision processes. Five worked case studies apply the framework to building information modeling and digital twin maturity assessment, digital transformation barriers, rail transit accessibility, and human-machine forecasting, followed by a discussion of challenges, open problems, and future research directions. The book will be valuable to researchers and graduate students in decision analysis, operations research, group decision-making, computational intelligence, forecasting, and social choice; data scientists and machine learning researchers working on calibration and ensemble methods; policy analysts, public administration specialists, engineers, economists, finance professionals, transportation researchers, and public health analysts who require transparent and reproducible approaches to combining expert judgments under uncertainty.

This timely study offers a concise, yet thorough, introduction to the illicit arms trade. The main theme of the book confronts the complex reality, that while it is proper to think of two separate trades in arms--legal and illegal--in practice there is a considerable overlap between the two. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Phythian argues that the lessons of the most important and extensive cases of the last 20 years suggest that a significant element of the illicit trade in arms has in fact been sanctioned at some level of government in the pursuit of broader security or geopolitical ends.

This book explores how trial lawyers, driven by self-interest, use argumentation to shape legal and ethical ideals in society through their manipulation of language, people, and objects. It argues that by employing various persuasive styles and deceptive strategies, lawyers influence juries and affect broader legal and communal values. These individual actions, while focused on client interests, collectively contribute to significant social changes in the practice and perception of law.

A Natural History of Legal Argument

Eine brandaktuelle Intervention des Bestseller-Autors und international renommierten&nbsp;Moralphilosophen: Unsere Gesellschaften sind zutiefst gespalten, und autoritäre Kräfte gewinnen weltweit immer mehr Macht. Die demokratischen Parteien stehen dieser Entwicklung scheinbar ohnmächtiggegenüber. Zugänglich und pointiert analysiert Michael J. Sandel, wie es so weit kommen konnte, und sucht nach Auswegen aus der Krise. Neben entschlossenem Widerstandgegen demokratiefeindliche Kräfte braucht es eine großangelegte zivilgesellschaftliche Veränderung: eine neue Politik des Gemeinwohls, die auf Pluralismus, gegenseitigen Respekt und echte Teilhabe setzt - und von der alle profitieren.

Neuanfang

Crypto crises examines how the cryptocurrency industry has become a powerful force in global capitalism. Far from the promise of decentralisation, it reveals how crypto is deepening social inequality, fuelling environmental destruction, and reshaping political power. Drawing on extensive research and vivid examples, the book traces the rise of a new class of "crypto-capitalists" - from billionaire investors and mining conglomerates to populist politicians - who are embedding digital assets at the heart of finance and governance. It exposes the hidden networks of influence linking crypto to Wall Street, Big Tech, and the Global South, where exploitation is reframed as innovation. Provocative and timely, the book offers a critical account of how cryptocurrency's dream of liberation became one of the defining engines of twenty-first-century capitalism.
