Perspectives From Legal Philosophy

A dazzling exploration of the phenomenon of prediction betting markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? For many, Donald Trump's decisive election victory over Kamala Harris in 2024 was a shock. Traditional polls had the race on a razor's edge. But, for those with eyes on prediction betting markets, a very different story was being told. In recent years, prediction markets have swept the world, fundamentally changing the nature of the gambling market, and making their youthful pioneers billionaires. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction bets allow any difference of opinion - whether on politics, wars, assassinations or popular culture - to be financialised. But are these markets really a new phenomenon? What does it mean when markets get closer to the truth than the institutions we built to protect us? And what happens when those tasked with safeguarding democracy possess financial stakes in its volatility? From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through London coffee house gossip during the Napoleonic Wars, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange, The Big Bet describes the full five-hundred-year arc of a permissive regime which no one designed and no one voted for. Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future of our democratic self-governance. Because they are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world when everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

'One of the clearest and most important studies to be published on education, worldwide, in many decades' Danny Dorling Does the education system make better people? Why are so many - teachers and students alike - stressed and dissatisfied? Do we need to revive real education? Ideally, education is about the pursuit of truth, beauty and morality. But in the last few decades, a perilous fixation with human capital - skills, knowledge and aptitudes required for the labour market - has trampled over curricula, schools and universities. Rather than learning how to think critically about the world, from cradle to grave students are trained to be more effective workers, to make more money, and to serve an hegemonic ideology. Teachers and researchers are pressed to serve those goals. In this concluding book in his series on the commons, Guy Standing shows us how education - intrinsically a common public good - has been enclosed, privatised, financialised and corrupted, turned into an instrument of societal control, not human emancipation, weakening democracy, not strengthening it. Human Capital charts how the education industry largely serves commercial interests, not its teachers and students, and considers how to revive its lost values, to save society for the common good.

** THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ** California Governor Gavin Newsom's intimate and poignant account of identity, belonging, and the defining moments that inspired a life in politics 'Go slow,' his political elders advised him, but Gavin Newsom has never known such a speed. For Newsom, the California Dream is what lured his father's family from Ireland, six generations ago. His great-great-grandfather, a cop, walked a beat in San Francisco, where almost 150 years later Newsom would be elected as mayor. Newsom has never lived anywhere but California. His childhood was spent being tugged between two worlds: his mother worked three jobs in order to care for her children while his father, a close friend of the Getty family, brought Newsom into a world of wealth and connections. But the vantage point was valuable: he inherited his mother's perseverance and his father's reverence of California - not only its wildness, but its opportunity. In Young Man in a Hurry, Newsom traces the forces that have defined his ambitions as a politician. As mayor of San Francisco, he made waves when he violated state law in order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. He launched bold efforts to counter climate change, improve mental health care, and enhance gun safety. Elected as governor and entering office into immediate hyper-partisan headwinds from Washington, DC, Newsom has constantly and consistently stuck his neck out. Here, he reflects on the long journey that ultimately shaped him into one of the most recognizable and accomplished elected officials in America. ** Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by the New York Times**

A definitive collection of essays by one of the leading living theorists of social power, brought together here for the first time. In this consolidated summation of his works, Steven Lukes reflects on the central questions and changing nature of 'the power debate' as it has evolved since the publication of his seminal work Power: A Radical View. Including six essays on power as it relates to central themes of truth, domination and moral responsibility, and engaging with nine influential recent and contemporary theorists of power, Power and Domination and Other Essays provides a major critique of a debate that remains as alive and contentious as ever. Bringing up to date Lukes's work on power in one accessible volume, this book is an essential companion to Power: A Radical View, now in its third edition, and useful for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history of social and political thought, political science and political sociology.

Power and Domination and Other Essays

'Essential reading for anyone trying to understand where the next influence operation is being built' ELIOT HIGGINS, founder of Bellingcat 'Revelatory . . . will fundamentally change how you understand modern power' KELLY CLANCY, author of Playing with Reality __________________________________ In Power Play, leading game industry expert George E. Osborn reveals how video games - the world's largest entertainment medium - are being used by autocrats, populists and violent extremists to influence the real world around us. Video games are the world's largest entertainment medium. They are played by billions of people of all ages every year, generating hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue. But they are more than an entertainment product. They connect people across the globe, creating digital third places where people talk, share ideas and build identities, fostering diverse communities capable of dominating the digital discourse now shaping our reality. While democracies continue to underestimate the potential for influence in this space, others have seized the opportunity to control, co-opt or collaborate with video game communities to wield the power of these vast information ecosystems. Saudi Arabia is spending tens of billions of dollars acquiring video games businesses to wash its reputation. Russia has funded video game development to help spread disinformation about the war in Ukraine. Steve Bannon utilised tactics deployed by online video game communities to propel Donald Trump into the White House, and Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin even carved video game references into his bullets. Supported by the insights of politicians, academics and industry experts, Power Play is the vital guide for understanding this new political frontier, highlighting what democracies must do to protect and harness the immense power of play before the essential battle for digital influence is lost for good.

Video Games, Politics and the Battle for Global Influence

Power Play

Die Rückkehr der Großmächtekonkurrenz und der geoökonomischen Rivalität bringt das globale Machtgefüge aus dem Gleichgewicht. Dabei erklärt ausgerechnet der Hegemon die liberale Weltordnung für überholt - und das nicht erst seit der Wiederwahl Donald Trumps. An ihre Stelle tritt eine neue Realität harter Machtpolitik, in der die USA, China, Indien und Russland gemeinsam Einflusszonen abstecken. Europa droht, zwischen diesen Kräften zerrieben zu werden. - Willkommen in der Wolfswelt, in der das Recht des Stärkeren die Stärke des Rechts verdrängt
 Marc Saxer liefert keine weitere Momentaufnahme der Krise, sondern einen Deutungsrahmen, der Ordnung in die Unübersichtlichkeit bringt. Auf der Grundlage von zwei Jahrzehnten Erfahrung an der Schnittstelle von Geopolitik und politischer Ökonomie in Asien und Europa, u.a. als Berater von Regierungen und Zivilgesellschaften, verbindet er sicherheitspolitische und geoökonomische Perspektiven zu einer schlüssigen Analyse der Kräfte, die die Welt neu ordnen. Dabei lenkt er den Blick bewusst über den transatlantischen Horizont hinaus und zeigt, wie sich Machtverschiebungen im Indo-Pazifik, industrielle Strategien und globale Abhängigkeiten zu einer neuen Logik internationaler Politik verdichten.
 Pointiert geschrieben und analytisch fundiert richtet sich das Buch an alle, die mehr suchen als Schlagzeilen: einen klaren Blick auf die Kräfte, die unsere Zukunft prägen, und gleichzeitig Ideen, wie Europa seinen Platz in einer raueren Welt behaupten kann.
