Rights and Responsibilities

The inside story of how Donald Trump sacked and pillaged the U.S. economy.The New York Times's Global Economics Correspondent reveals how Trump has personally profited billions while reducing American business leaders to fawning cronies; burning down the global trade order; undermining faith in the U.S. dollar; eroding the independence of the Federal Reserve; and dismantling regulatory oversight.How did the greatest economy in history devolve into a place where one man claimed the power of a mob boss, determining who wins and who loses, while steering much of the gains to his own family?As 2025 dawned, most American business leaders assumed they could safely ignore the inevitable chaos of Donald Trump's return to the White House. Instead, they have seen their companies shaken by Trump's assault on the global trading system, his attacks on the independence of the Fed, and his menacing of the rule of law itself. He has reduced some of the wealthiest, most powerful people on earth--Jeff Bezos, Jamie Dimon, Jensen Huang--into supplicants seeking his favor.Kiss the Ring tells the story of how Trump adopted the guise of a mob boss, turning the American business world into a protection racket. Wielding tariffs, executive orders, and other armaments of imperial rule, Trump has reconfigured the federal government into an instrument of his personal concerns. He has pulled the levers of authority to enrich himself, his relatives, and his allies while punishing his enemies. And he has done so with the complicity of major business leaders, whose loyalties to shareholders and their own fortunes have outweighed any sense of civic responsibility.Goodman exposes the roles of key people at the center of this extraordinary refashioning of American power: Peter Navarro, Howard Lutnick, Elon Musk, Bezos, and Dimon. It dissects how Trump and his family have personally profited from control of the executive branch. And it explores a fundamental vulnerability for American society as business leaders navigate an inherent conflict between bottom-line concerns and the preservation of democratic norms.Here is how leading executives in a country long celebrated as an exemplar of freedom wound up marching in the parade toward authoritarian rule.

How Trump Cashed In on the Presidency and Shook Down the Global Economy

Modern Studies in European Law

This book explores what judges do and how they perceive their roles in the context of growing dissensus over liberal democracy. Focusing on the European landscape, it asks eighteen judges how they perceive their roles when judicial independence and democracy are under pressure. The book features interviews with judges from various EU and non-EU Member States and courts, complemented by a series of academic commentaries discussing the relationship between law and politics in times of dissensus over liberal democracy. Each narrative reveals unique personal experiences and reflections, shedding light on the role of the judiciary and the rule of law in the face of contemporary challenges. While the book engages with these issues through European narratives, its findings contribute to broader debates beyond Europe and the EU.

Dissensus over Liberal Democracy

This isn't the office romance you expected... Perfect for fans of You've Got Mail, Attachments and Good Material 'Hilarious, heartbreaking, satirical, cutting and FUN' Laura Jane Williams 'For anyone who loves Curtis Sittenfeld, Nora Ephron, Alison Espach' Joanna Rackoff 'Super smart and assured . . . Fans of Tom Lake and The Flatshare will love it' Sarra Manning 'Rollicking and entertaining' People Magazine 'Captures all the thrills and aches of setting out in the world' Morgan Dick 1982 Jane Kinloch arrives at the legendary townhouse offices of the East River Review as a wide-eyed intern with big dreams. When she strikes up a friendship with glamorous fellow intern Rose, the two soon become inseparable. But Rose's attraction to their married boss, literary titan Edward David Adams, threatens to drive a wedge between them. 2022 Once upon a time in publishing, editors had their own offices. But now, to her great chagrin, Rebecca Blume of Avenue Publishing must share custody of a 'hot desk' with Ben Heath, editor at rival imprint Hawk Mills. What starts as a battle of passive-aggressive Post-it notes about an unwatered cactus notes escalates after the death of renowned writer Edward David Adams. He has left behind an unpublished manuscript, and Ben and Rebecca are soon vying for the career-making opportunity to publish it. But when Rebecca discovers that the manuscript contains a decades-old secret about her mother, Jane, she is determined to stop it from seeing the light of day. Can she persuade her infuriating (and annoyingly handsome) rival deskmate to let it go? A funny, sexy, unexpectedly moving novel that weaves a contemporary workplace romance with a gripping historical narrative set in the 1980s New York publishing industry.

Hot Desk

How has fashion become such an important signifier of French nationhood? How has fashion journalism been used to mediate political ideologies like fascism? These questions and more are answered in the first book to comprehensively explore the interactions between fashion, the media, soft power, and nationhood. With a geographically diverse range of case studies and a unique focus on fashion journalism, Fashion and Power covers the origins of the relationship between fashion, cultural power, and national identity in 'courtly' societies, through the Cold War to the identities of emerging fashion nations such as China and Nigeria. Examining figures from 'La Jeune Fille Américaine' to First Ladies, Nelson Best argues how, in Susan Kaiser's words, 'representations of nation are built on the backs of women's bodies.' By exploring fashion journalism as a discourse of cultural power that shapes the identity of nations in different times and places, Fashion and Power reveals the contingency of these power relations and the possibility of their renegotiation. This accessible and highly engaging book is an invaluable resource not only for fashion studies students but also for those in media and cultural studies and anyone interested in fashion, identity, and power.

The challenge of disentangling political communication processes and their effects has grown with the complexity of the new political information environment. But so have scientists' toolsets and capacities to better study and understand them. This edited volume focuses on the use of Computational Communication Science (CCS) to address key questions in political communication, highlighting methodological innovations and the theoretical, practical, and institutional challenges in the field. Topics include clickbaiting, propaganda, political polarization, and media framing.The book starts by mapping the challenges and opportunities of data collection and analysis, focusing on computational methods to address theory-driven questions in political communication. Chapters highlight the theoretical, empirical, and institutional aspects of Computational Communication Science (CCS) relevant to the field, assessing the challenges of data requirements, digital signal semantics, and the crucial role of infrastructures, academic institutions, ethics, and training in computational methods. Considering all of these aspects, individual chapters showcase methodological innovations, applying CCS to topics like clickbaiting in the context of propaganda in authoritarian regimes, the visual content produced by political elites, political and affective polarization, and the media coverage of public policy as well as framing in the news media. The volume also offers scholarly contributions on the theoretical, practical, and institutional significance of CCS and the challenges in realizing its potential in political communication. A significant contribution to the field of political communication, this volume will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of communication studies, politics, media studies and sociology. It was originally published in Political Communication.

“Holm’s goal is to clarify and assess F. A. Hayek’s critique of legislation. The author knows the extant literature intimately and brings an interdisciplinary sensibility to his task. The result is a carefully-argued and original contribution to Hayekian studies. “–Bruce Caldwell
 , Research Professor of Economics, Director, Center for the History of Political Economy, Duke University, USA and the author of 
 Hayek's&nbsp;Challenge 
 and 
 Hayek: A Life"This book is an in-depth treatment of F. A. Hayek's incomparable 20th Century contributions to the study of rules, order, and economy."–Vernon Smith
 , Professor of Economics and Law at Chapman University, USA, and 2002 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics
 This book argues for a comprehensive reframing of Friedrich Hayek, one of the most influential economic and social thinkers of the twentieth century. Its focus is on the role of legal philosophy and legislation in understanding Hayek's views on social and economic planning, and in particular his critique of socialism.The book examines Hayek's later works on the shortcomings of legislation as the primary political tool used by governments to coerce otherwise free economic activity. It argues that Hayek's view of social and especially legal rules equates to a reformulation of his critique of planned economies, which has so far been understood in purely economic terms. The book argues&nbsp;that Hayek should be considered an important scholar in the realm of complexity theory, showing that his writing on intertwined legal and economic systems paved the way for a greater understanding of how individual agents and the 'spontaneous order' of the economy is inevitably regulated by the rational social order brought about by moral and legal rules and institutions. The book itself seeks to break the tradition of studying Hayek's work from isolated legal or economic lenses. Cyril Holm 
 is an Associate Professor of Law at Karlstad University, Sweden. His academic background is in economics, the history of science and legal philosophy, the latter of which is currently his primary research interest. He has teaching and research experience at the interface of law, economics, complexity theory, technology and future studies.&nbsp;

Misinformation: The Basics

The U.S. Constitution is silent about a right to privacy, yet the Supreme Court determined in the 1965 reproductive rights case Griswold v. Connecticut, that such a right is inferred from the Bill of Rights. The reasoning in the landmark case hinged on an unexpected word – penumbra. The Court concluded, in other words, that the unmentioned right to privacy resides in the shadows of the amendments.But this was not the first time penumbral imagery was used in legal writings, and its broader cultural usage dates back much further. Jared Schroeder's The Penumbra Problem provides a much-needed – and quite colorful – social and cultural history of the term. The penumbra concept, it turns out, wasn't an accidental choice but instead a well-selected term with centuries of transnational history.Schroeder tells its story through two intertwining narratives: first, how the word penumbra transcended its oblique scientific origins to become a distinct cultural concept; and, second, the parallel story of its evolving use in legal thought. The book tracks back and forth in time, creating an unexpected lineage of people and works who became unwitting champions of the penumbra concept, including mathematician Johannes Kepler, feminist activist Estelle Griswold, British thinker Robert Hooke, and lexicographer Noah Webster. Pairing these stories with the writings of great legal thinkers such as Willam Douglas and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Schroeder is able to construct a kind of etymological love letter to this obscure concept.Not everyone has supported the privacy precedent, though, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is in danger today. Schroeder's clever, utterly unique history is, at its core, a call to redouble efforts to save the right to privacy. He argues that we must understand its ponderous, indeed uncertain, origins to fully appreciate the precarity in which it exists today, and only then can we adequately fight for it.

The Penumbra Problem

Schluss mit der Empörungslogik - wie wir unsere Demokratie verteidigen und Frustration in mutige Politik verwandelnDie Demokratie steht unter Druck - doch Rückzug ist für Rasha Nasr, die junge&nbsp;SPD-Bundestagsabgeordnete&nbsp;aus Dresden, keine Option. In ihrem Bericht aus dem Maschinenraum des parlamentarischen Alltags rechnet sie mit der Berliner&nbsp;Talkshow-Logik&nbsp;ab und fordert eine Rückkehr zur Substanz.Nasr macht deutlich, dass in der heutigen Politik zu oft darüber geredet wird, was brennt, während niemand darüber spricht, was trägt. Rechte Erzählungen gewinnen nicht, weil sie wahr sind, sondern weil sie so einfach sind. Statt sich hinter Sachzwängen zu verstecken, tritt die Autorin in ihrer leidenschaftlichen&nbsp;Streitschrift&nbsp;für klare Prioritäten und echte&nbsp;Verantwortung&nbsp;ein - fernab von Identitätsdebatten. Sie beweist, dass Demokratie keine Komfortzone ist, sondern den&nbsp;Mut&nbsp;erfordert, unperfekte Kompromisse mit&nbsp;Haltung&nbsp;zu vertreten und Konflikte ohne Feindschaft auszuhalten.'Verantwortung heißt bleiben' ist ein persönliches und kämpferisches Buch, das Wut konstruktiv in politischen Mut übersetzt. Ein starkes Plädoyer für Menschen, die Haltung zeigen wollen und sich für gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt, soziale Sicherheit und Freiheit einsetzen - und ein authentisches Vorbild dafür, unsere Demokratie aktiv zu verteidigen.In Zusammenarbeit mit Judith Schneiberg entstanden.

Verantwortung heißt bleiben

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.
