'Made In' and the Fashion Industry

A Comprehensive Perspective

The global healthcare industry operates at the intersection of government authority, market forces, and unequal distributions of power that shape how care is financed, produced, and delivered. States regulate access, pricing, and standards, while multinational corporations, insurers, and investors influence innovation, supply chains, and labor conditions across borders. These interactions determine economic outcomes, who benefits from medical advances, and who remains underserved. Analyzing the political and economic structures that govern global healthcare may further reveal how power relations among states and market actors shape health systems, equity, and global health outcomes. The Political Economy of Global Healthcare Industries: States, Markets, and Power explores how states, markets, and global institutions shape the trajectory of healthcare industries. By situating healthcare within the frameworks of political economy, it moves beyond clinical or technological narratives to examine the forces of industrial policy, regulatory governance, capital flows, and strategic competition. This book covers topics such as drug manufacturing, business strategy, and government and law, and is a useful resource for business owners, medical and healthcare professionals, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.

Unless you are floating naked through space, you are right now in direct contact with multiple manufactured products, including furniture, technology, clothing, and even food. And yet the processes by which these things appear in our lives are virtually invisible. How often do we stop to think: Where do the things we buy actually come from? How are they made, and how do they make their way into our hands?The answers can be found in How Things Are Made, which traces the surprising paths taken by everyday items to reach consumers, from design to creation to delivery. Innovation expert Tim Minshall takes us on a journey through the manufacturing world, from the smallest job shops to mega-factories, from global shipping hubs to local delivery at your door, revealing the inner workings of the system that runs 24-7-365 to make and deliver the things we need—or want—to live our daily lives, including cars, cakes, phones, planes, drugs, and medical devices. Along the way, he explores how we can improve the fragility of our global manufacturing system and the impact it has on the natural world, presenting a path to a truly sustainable future.Brimming with energy and lively examples, How Things Are Made maps the awe-inspiring global system of manufacturing that enables virtually every aspect of our existence. By making sense of this surprising and hidden world, we are able to make better choices for ourselves, our communities, and the planet.

A Practitioner Perspective

How AI is transforming pricing decisions, and what opportunities, challenges, and risks these transformations bring. Pricing in the Age of AI explores the evolution of pricing decisions, with a particular emphasis on recent advancements. In the age of big data and AI, pricing strategies have undergone a dramatic transformation. For instance, in e-commerce, prices can now be adjusted every few seconds, tailored to individual users or personas, and optimized with precision. This transformation has the potential to disrupt pricing decisions on an unprecedented scale. In this book, Maxime Cohen begins by tracing the history and importance of pricing decisions. He focuses on the transformative changes of the past decade, highlighting how big data and AI have upended traditional pricing strategies. He also examines the psychological and behavioral tactics employed to influence consumer behavior through pricing, as well as how recent advancements in AI—and generative AI—are revolutionizing pricing practices, enabling managers to automate, optimize, and personalize decisions at scale. Finally, he discusses the challenges and risks associated with these innovations, including ethical concerns such as anti-competitive practices, consumer protection, and discrimination issues.

The American healthcare crisis is not a failure of good intentions-it is the success of a system designed to put profits first.Doctors dedicate their lives to saving patients. Insurance companies dedicate theirs to protecting shareholders. Between them lies a battlefield where ordinary Americans pay the price-with their health, their savings, and too often, their lives.In The Invisible Hand Wielding the Scalpel, Dr. Erica Rowe Urquhart-orthopedic surgeon, MBA, and private practice owner-pulls back the curtain on the insurers' playbook. Drawing on decades of frontline experience, she reveals how prior authorizations, retroactive denials, and deliberately confusing policies are not bureaucratic inefficiencies, but intentional tactics engineered to delay care, deny claims, and drive patients into financial ruin.Through vivid case studies, from children forced to wait weeks for urgent surgery to patients abandoned mid-treatment, Dr. Urquhart shows how the system weaponizes time and paperwork against the very people it is meant to serve. She exposes the double standards that allow executives and lobbyists to flourish while patients and doctors struggle, and documents how Congress routinely chooses political donations over patient lives.But this book is more than an exposé. With surgical precision, Dr. Urquhart dissects the root causes of America's fractured system and offers a prescription for change. She shows readers what they need to know about their rights, their coverage, and the hidden economic forces shaping every medical bill.If you have ever battled an insurance denial, waited months for a procedure you urgently needed, or opened a bill that defied comprehension, this book will confirm your frustrations-and empower you with knowledge.Unflinching, urgent, and deeply human, The Invisible Hand Wielding the Scalpel is not just a diagnosis of corruption. It is a call to action.

Routledge Studies in Luxury Management

This book critically analyses and documents a shift of ethical consumption patterns through Western yoga commodities, services, and transformational experiences that affect women within consumer culture. Western yoga uses fashion and luxury branding strategies to promote commodities that support an individualised, exclusive, and privatised quest for meaning, ritual, belonging, and community. These new status signifiers demonstrate how Western yoga has become an essential contemporary sign and symbol of the aspirational class. This book thus discusses how aspirational Western yoga brands, yoga studios, and social media influencers commodify wellness by distributing cultural capital as postfeminist spiritual capital through the promotion of exclusive and consciously minded aesthetic and ethical transformational experiences within the wellness industry.Through the contemporary case studies presented in this book, the reader will be exposed to the complex tactics that yoga brands, yoga studios, and 'yogalebrities' use to generate aspirational conscious luxury commodities that promise entangled physical and spiritual distinction. This book reveals how yoga practitioners are encouraged to arrive at self-optimisation and self-empowerment not after the trials and tribulations of the human experience but after a highly controlled and exclusive experiential economic transaction that anchors the ego to bodily labour and elitist luxury fashion design ideals. These case studies will expose the reader to how these new consumption patterns converge, stylising and commodifying the psychic life of women.This book will appeal to an academic audience with an interest in fashion and luxury studies, luxury management, consumer culture, gender studies, and critical spiritual practices.
