Routledge Focus on Economics and Finance

Financial resilience is a concept that is gaining importance in the context of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risk and can be considered from the perspective of any entity operating in the market economy, from households to local government units. This book presents the concept of financial resilience from a global and an international perspective, and through the prism of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).It covers a broad spectrum, from the theoretical framework and the assessment of the current state of knowledge and research to the practical approach used in financial institutions. The book's key contribution is that it examines the link between the SDGs and financial resilience, which is an interesting and under-researched observation. Its original and innovative approach to financial resilience fills this research gap and also includes a discussion of artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalisation.The book provides empirical analyses, case studies and a framework, strategies and recommendations for building financial resilience. As such, it will be a valuable source of knowledge for students, academics, researchers and policymakers in the field of finance, and particularly green and sustainable finance.

Financial Resilience and the Sustainable Development Goals

An award-winning economic journalist on why the US dollar is positioned to maintain global primacy—and what that means for America and the world &nbsp; “Magisterial.”—Edward Chancellor, Reuters &nbsp; Prophecies that the dollar will lose its status as the world’s dominant currency have echoed for decades—and are increasing in volume. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts claim that Bitcoin or other blockchain-based monetary units will replace the dollar. Foreign policy hawks warn that China’s renminbi poses a lethal threat to the greenback. And sound money zealots predict that mounting US debt and inflation will surely erode the dollar’s value to the point of irrelevancy. &nbsp; Contra the doomsayers, Paul Blustein shows that the dollar’s standing atop the world’s currency pyramid is impregnable, barring catastrophic policy missteps by the US government. Recounting how the United States has wielded the dollar to impose devastating sanctions against adversaries, Blustein explains that although targets such as Russia have found ways to limit the damage, Washington’s financial weaponry will retain potency long into the future. His message, however, is that America must not be complacent about the dollar; the great power that its supremacy confers comes with commensurate responsibility.

Distinguished economist Michael D. Bordo argues for the importance of monetary stability and monetary rules, offering theoretical, empirical, and historical perspectives to support his case. He shows how the pursuit of stable monetary policy guided by central banks following rule-like behavior produces low and stable inflation, stable real performance, and encourages financial stability. In contrast, he explains how the failure to adhere to rules that produce monetary stability will inevitably produce the dire consequences of real, nominal, and financial instability. Bordo examines theoretical perspectives ranging from early nineteenth-century debate through postwar developments in monetary theory on the case for stable money and the importance of monetary rules. The author also looks at the historical and empirical record of economic performance (both inflation and real output) across policy regimes. He examines the performance of the Federal Reserve in its pursuit of discretionary monetary policy. And he reviews the history of monetary policy--and especially of the actions by the Federal Reserve--during the Great Depression.

Turn a bitcoin position into a coherent, risk-managed financial life. Bitcoin Personal Finance, written by Morgen Rochard, CFA, RLP, provides a fiduciary-grade framework for building wealth around bitcoin. Whether readers are evaluating their first purchase or managing a concentrated position worth six or seven figures, Rochard applies disciplined financial planning principles to the unique realities of holding a global, self-custodied monetary asset. The book follows the structure of a comprehensive planning engagement--cash-flow design, risk management, investment policy, tax strategy, retirement income, estate transfer, and purpose-driven life planning--and examines how each area evolves when bitcoin becomes the core balance-sheet asset. Readers receive practical tools, sample allocation frameworks, liquidity guardrails, and decision trees calibrated for bitcoin volatility, custody responsibility, and long time horizons. Grounded in real-world advisory experience, Rochard integrates behavioral finance, tax law, estate design, and investment discipline into a cohesive system. The result is a structured approach that helps individuals transform conviction into durable financial architecture. Inside, readers will find: <ul> <li>Behavioral insights addressing fear of catastrophic loss, over-concentration, over-trading, and aligning financial upside with daily purpose</li> <li>Guidance on liquidity buffers, position sizing, leverage decisions, and building resilience around volatility</li> <li>Tax optimization strategies for basis tracking, charitable giving, Roth conversion analysis, and multi-jurisdiction considerations relevant to bitcoin holders</li> <li>Estate planning frameworks for private-key inheritance, trustee education, and secure custody succession</li> <li>Practical considerations for financial planners and family offices navigating compliance, custody due diligence, and client education</li> </ul> Bitcoin Personal Finance serves individuals seeking a disciplined on-ramp, long-time holders navigating cash-flow and estate complexity, and the professionals advising both groups. It provides a roadmap for integrating sound money into every layer of financial life and for building a structure designed to endure across decades.

This practical guide offers a comprehensive exploration of the principles and applications of geotechnical engineering in mining. It combines academic rigor with real-world insight to bridge the gap between theory and practice to enable the design of safe, efficient, and sustainable mines. Structured to provide a clear and systematic understanding of mining geotechnical engineering, this book covers a broad range of topics, including rock mechanics principles; rock mass classification and characterization; stability of open pit slopes, waste containment facilities, and underground pillars; ground control using pillars, rock bolts, and shotcrete; and mining-induced surface subsidence. Rich with practical examples, detailed case studies, and chapter-based reference lists, this book encourages readers to explore each topic in depth. Study questions at the end of every chapter reinforce key concepts and support active learning, equipping readers with the essential analytical tools and engineering judgment and making this an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to master the geotechnical foundations of modern mining practice. By integrating fundamental theory with empirical, analytical, and numerical approaches - alongside practical design procedures and field applications - Mining Geotechnical Engineering serves as both a valuable reference for practicing professionals and a comprehensive textbook for students in mining, geotechnical, and civil engineering.

IAEA TECDOC Series No.

This publication examines the benefits and challenges of recovering uranium from phosphate ores as an alternative to conventional uranium mining. It considers the low cost of uranium extraction from phosphate ores, its potential profitability and discusses the relative speed of equipping fertilizer plants with uranium recovery units (i.e. two to three years), compared with conventional uranium mines, which can take ten years or longer to develop. These issues are examined in detail, alongside supply security and environmental concerns. This TECDOC is intended for policy makers working on uranium supply security; mining and mineral processing experts working on unconventional uranium recovery and/or solvent extraction; and for researchers working on uranium concentrations in fertilizers and potential natural uranium accumulation in agricultural soils.

In the fight against climate change, lithium's role in reducing emissions by powering green economies is a mixed blessing. Drawing on groundbreaking fieldwork in Chile, Nevada, and Portugal, Thea Riofrancos explores the environmental and social costs of the global race to expand lithium mining amid supply chain concerns. With haunting descriptions of vulnerable ecosystems, she examines how mining harms landscapes, provokes protest, takes centre stage in national politics, and links countries on the peripheries of the world economy to huge corporations, commodity markets, and powerful investors. Riofrancos traces the history of global extraction from colonial conquest to the 1970s energy crisis to the still-uncertain green future. While an unregulated mining boom could inflict irreversible harm, Riofrancos offers compelling ideas about how to harmonize climate action with social justice. Across the world's extractive frontiers, we encounter the most brutal aspects of capitalism - but also witness inspiring visions for our future planet.

Im 18. Jahrhundert kam es in der Markgrafschaft Baden zu den letzten größeren Bemühungen, den Bergbau auf Blei-Silber-Erze zu reaktivieren. Auf Initiative der Markgrafen wurden viele alte Gruben neu untersucht und teilweise in Abbau genommen. 
Das vorliegende Buch entwirft ein umfassendes Bild der Organisation des Bergbaus im badischen Schwarzwald, stellt die beteiligten Personen vor und beschreibt eingehend die Chroniken der Gruben während ihres Betriebs im 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhundert. 
Die vorgestellten Informationen basieren fast ausschließlich auf der erneuten Bearbeitung zeitgenössischer Quellen, wobei zahlreiche bislang übersehene Daten zur Technikgeschichte des Südschwarzwälder Bergbaus und der Lebenssituation der dort tätigen Bergleute gewonnen werden konnten.

Routledge International Studies in Money and Banking

The Global Financial Crisis revealed that systemic fragility arises not only from identifiable risks but also from systemic uncertainty - the endogenous and often unpredictable dynamics that build up within financial systems and amplify across time and space. More than a decade later, this dual challenge remains pressing as the rising inequality and geopolitical insecurity have underscored the vulnerability of interconnected economies and societies.This book illustrates how agent-based modelling (ABM) can enrich the study of crises, systemic risk and uncertainty, and the distributional effects of policies that are designed to contain them. Rather than treating crises as external shocks, the book highlights how fragility can emerge endogenously within economies that are understood as complex, evolving systems. Through clear explanations and targeted applications, it not only demonstrates how ABM can capture the effects of macroprudential regulation on the real economy and inequality and shed light on moments of financial instability but also provides a practical guide to building such data-driven models in the first place. At the same time, it situates these insights within a broader discussion of contagion, procyclicality and global financial regulation, thus connecting the modelling results with ongoing debates on how best to safeguard financial stability. Further, it offers a valuable synthesis of lessons learned from advanced economies, illustrating how institutional design and macroprudential policy can strengthen financial resilience while also generating significant redistributive effects across sectors and households.The book is primarily aimed at an academic audience of scholars and advanced students in economics, finance and computational social science. It will also appeal to professionals in central banks, regulators and policymakers engaged in designing and evaluating macroprudential frameworks.Jagoda Kaszowska-Mojsa is a researcher and lecturer and holds positions at the National Bank of Poland and Cracow University of Economics, Poland.
