Roth Alvin: Moral Economics

Moral Economics

What Controversial Transactions Reveal About How Markets Work

From the author of A People's Guide to Capitalism, a clear-eyed look at cryptocurrencies from the left, cutting through the glitz and the scams to reveal how crypto mirrors and exacerbates the crises of capitalism. 
 
Cryptocurrencies have gone from being fringe investments relevant only to hardcore adherents to a $3.7 trillion industry with a direct line to Donald Trump's White House. The promises of crypto are wide-ranging, preying on a basic reality: people are disaffected by an economic and financial system that has excluded them and wonder if cryptocurrencies can offer a more transparent and inclusive alternative. 
 
Challenge any of these notions, or raise concerns about crypto's associations with money laundering, the speculative bubbles ballooning around these assets, or the disastrous climate implications of the technology behind crypto, and you'll be told by proselytizers that you simply don't understand. That complexity is often intentional, serving as a shield from critical scrutiny. 
 
Enter Crypto-Capitalism, Hadas Thier's deft, accessible examination of the rise and fall and rise again of crypto. Drawing on years of reporting on the industry, its insiders, and the ordinary people impacted by its wild peaks and busts, Thier explains how cryptocurrencies work, elucidates the context and implications of their rise, and debunks the utopian mythology that animates their boosters. 
 
By showing that systemic exploitation and domination are inherent in a crisis-ridden capitalist economy and are matters of class power, not technology, Thier convincingly cuts through the froth and the lies of financial dystopia. Along the way, she opens up alternative avenues for imagining what economic democracy could actually look like.

Crypto-Capitalism

Essential life lessons and strategy hacks for success from the world of chess, from making smarter choices to building focus and confidence. You don't have to be a great chess player, to think more like a chess player. Two-time US chess champion Jennifer Shahade cuts to some of the most important lessons chess can teach you. She shows how the best players consider not just more but better possibilities by thinking sideways, opening our eyes to smarter choices not just on the board but in all areas of our lives. From building mind palaces to crafting decision trees, Thinking Sideways reveals how to find options that may seem hidden, have confidence in your decisions, feel comfortable going against the grain and maintain deep focus in the face of distraction. Drawing on her own experiences touring the world as a chess champion as well as fascinating examples from across business, politics, the arts and sports, Shahade transforms our understanding of what success looks like, and how to achieve it for ourselves. Thinking Sideways proves that games really can make us better versions of ourselves.

Thinking Sideways

Routledge Studies in Ecological Economics

This book analyses the rationale and the basic design of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme and discusses its workings during the first two trading periods and the initiation of the third phase, following a revision of the scheme. It offers a critical assessment of the EU ETS from a radical political economy standpoint.

Routledge Studies in the History of Economics

Most contemporary economists understand markets as purely price-making systems, ignoring the role of markets as relational systems that frame our way of life and determine the kind of society we live in. This book weaves both of these elements together to present a history of markets.

Innovative and cutting-edge, this book proposes an alternative philosophical framework for economics which will reconfigure economics and social theory as historical disciplines that analyze successive standardizations of social practices.

Hart Studies in Comparative Public Law

This open access book offers an in-depth understanding of the challenges, dilemmas and strategies of reinstating the rule of law after the dismantling of a constitutional order. Drawing on the case of Poland's democratic transition back to the rule of law, the volume explores the uncharted territory of restoring independent institutions within an EU Member State. After eight years of autocratic interference with the judiciary, media and state institutions, the Parliamentary elections of October 2023 mark a turning point for Poland. The new government now faces the complex challenge of restoring the rule of law, with European and international law playing a pivotal role. Still, at numerous crossroads a dilemma comes up: Can the rule of law be disregarded to restore it? Or must the rule of law be adhered to at the risk of legal and institutional paralysis? This book presents strategies for solving this dilemma in theory and practice, thereby paving the way for other states' transitions to come. Through a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, including historical and contextual analysis, the authors show that restoring the rule of law is more than just a legal challenge. This volume equips academics and policymakers with conceptual tools and practical guidance to address the pressing issue of reinstating the rule of law, both in Poland and beyond. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the University of Freiburg.

Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance

This Palgrave Pivot aims to present a research-based, accessible analysis of the inner workings of the London stock exchange during the Georgian period.
Consolidating scattered archival sources and materials in one place, the book provides a solid historical basis for understanding the early modern stock market, ending with the formal creation of the Stock Exchange as an institution in 1801. Rather than going into detailed analysis of trading strategies and processes of the time, the book instead presents the ‘what‘, ‘where‘, ‘who’ and ‘how’ of the stock market operation, outlining the ways in which market participants negotiated trades, where these took place, and all the different types of securities that were traded. This engaging book will be of interest to financial and economic historians, as well as scholars in the humanities searching for a non-technical guide to the formation of the modern stock market.

Why do some people thrive under uncertainty while others freeze? Why do organizations consistently misjudge their best decision-makers?

Risk Efficacy presents a groundbreaking framework for measuring decision-making quality independent of outcomes. Drawing on research from cognitive science, organizational psychology, and high-stakes domains including trauma medicine, trading, and professional motorsport, this book reveals why traditional performance metrics systematically misread the people organizations most need.

The Risk Efficacy framework evaluates decision-making across four dimensions: Calibration (alignment between confidence and accuracy), Informed Navigation (quality of information gathering and synthesis), Resilience (capacity for adaptation and recovery), and Outcome Achievement (results in context of process quality).

Through case studies ranging from the D-Day invasion to Chilean mining rescues, Wu demonstrates how measurement systems optimized for stable environments fail catastrophically in volatile ones-and how this creates systematic bias against adaptive thinkers, particularly women and cross-domain experts whose decision-making styles don't match traditional leadership stereotypes.

This book is essential reading for leaders building teams for uncertain futures, HR professionals designing assessment systems, individuals seeking to understand and demonstrate their decision-making strengths, and anyone navigating a world where intelligent adaptation is as critical as good planning.

Risk Efficacy is infrastructure for a new way of measuring what matters.
