Magnus G: Peak China?

Peak China?

The Battle for Global Economic Supremacy

A deep dive into how our precious health data is slipping away and the paths to reclaiming it. Through wearables, consumer DNA tests, and even just the phones in our pockets, a vast and growing quantity of health data is collected every day. While this can be helpful for health agencies to improve public health and to us to perform better at sports, it all comes at a cost. In a world of increased surveillance, tech companies and cybercriminals have the ability to acquire our most precious data and put profit above all else. This risks not only our privacy, but perhaps even democracy itself. Tech journalist Matt Evans shows us why our precious health data is slipping away, how the data is used, and how we might reap the benefits without paying such huge costs. Featuring exclusive interviews with tech CEOs, lawyers and even reformed hackers, this is a deep-dive into the value of our health data and a manifesto for a new age of personal autonomy.

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This wide-ranging intellectual and media history traces China's emergence as a modern state in which boundaries blur between art and design, education and psychological conditioning. Tracking the parallel development of set design and social engineering from the 1920s to the 1960s, Background Matters examines the concept of huanjing (environment), a neologism introduced at the turn of the twentieth century that evoked heated intellectual debates and inspired frenzied aesthetic experimentation. Weihong Bao shows how efforts to reshape the mind consolidated the idea and art of environment by advancing a new theoretical notion of set design: both as aesthetic organization across film, theater, radio, and television and as social experimentation in worldmaking across geopolitical and transnational contexts. Inventive and breathtaking in scope, this book radically rethinks environment not as an external object but as the nexus of mind, medium, and society.

Background Matters: Volume 9

A history of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, and how the ambiguity built into that technology helps companies and exploits workersSeeing Like a Supply Chain is a compelling investigation into the hidden networks that drive our global economy. Miriam Posner presents a blow-by-blow account of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, revealing how the system's built-in ambiguity shields companies from accountability while exploiting workers.Drawing on more than a decade of research, Posner shows how computation converged with the growth of global trade to allow for a lightning-quick, astoundingly efficient supply chain that lets corporations source products without any notion of where their goods are actually being produced. At a time when multinational firms fear the reputational damage of human rights violations in the making of their products, the supply chain's shroud of vagueness is a feature, not a bug. Posner shows how this is technically accomplished-and how the strategic disavowal of information extends through every step of that chain.

Seeing Like a Supply Chain

'An amazing book' - Paul Krugman, Nobel laureate in economics 'Timely, witty and wise' - Tim Harford, broadcaster and bestselling author of The Undercover Economist 'A breezy, low-jargon guide' - Helen Lewis, bestselling author of The Genius Myth A witty, essential guide to our new era of economic competition. From Soumaya Keynes, podcaster and columnist at the Financial Times and Chad Bown, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. We used to take trade for granted. Trillions of dollars of goods and services crossed borders each year, made possible by a global, rules-based system. Nobody paid too much attention to supply chains: they just worked. Now, Trump's latest tariff announcement can crash markets, ruin your pension, and sour decades-long alliances. Brexit can sever Britain from its closest trading partners. China's export restrictions on rare earths could bring the West's car production to a crashing halt. Curbs on trade in cutting-edge chips could determine who wins the AI race. The stakes couldn't be higher. In this irreverent guide to our economic world, Keynes and Bown explore the history, players, and rules of trade, asking how we prepare for what the future might hold. Could trade wars lead to hot wars? What can the West learn from China? Timely, funny and informative, How to Win a Trade War argues that the old system is dead. But what will emerge in its place? And ultimately, what is at stake for you, your country, and your company? 'Full of insight. This is critical reading for anyone trying to make sense of today's trade disputes' - Chris Miller, bestselling author of Chip War 'Really, really good' - Jon Stewart, presenter of the Daily Show

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.

In The Four Paradigms in Economics: Theories, Concepts, and Analytical Tools, Kavous Ardalan demonstrates how these four paradigms explain any economics phenomenon differently, and therefore, together they provide a broader and deeper understanding of the economic phenomenon under consideration. The main theme of The Four Paradigms of Economics is that social theory can usefully be conceived in terms of these four key paradigms: functionalist, interpretive, radical humanist, and radical structuralist. The four paradigms are founded upon different assumptions about the nature of social science and society, and therefore, provide different explanations of any phenomenon. The book also looks at the major prevailing schools of thought in economics (Neo-Classical Economics, New Institutional Economics, Behavioral Economics, Austrian Economics, Post-Keynesian Economics, Institutional Economics, Social Economics, Radical Economics, and Marxist Economics) from the point of view of the four paradigms and locates them within the four-paradigm framework.

The Four Paradigms in Economics

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.
