Exploring Fund Management Expertise

A thrilling investigation into the mysterious identity of Bitcoin's creator and a deep dive into crypto's utopian origin story from a New York Times bestselling author

A Quest to Unmask the Mysterious Mr Nakamoto

The Crypto Genius

Adopting distinct and new perspectives to analyse VAT policy and practice, this book explores the key design challenges and opportunities faced by VAT jurisdictions in the 21st century.


 The book shows how the VAT, the world's most preferred form of consumption tax, has failed to live up to the expectations of its advocates since its earliest iterations about a century ago. It identifies and explains the gaps between VAT theory and practice, drawing on lessons from recent international experience. The book begins with an analysis of key design features of VAT systems, including concessions, registration thresholds and small business regimes. It goes on to explore more complex issues, such as the application of the tax to financial supplies, sharing economy transactions, and international cross-border sales, as well as the treatment of transactions and revenue within jurisdictions that operate under multiple-tiered systems of government.These issues represent challenges commonly encountered in VAT jurisdictions in modern economies. The work outlines innovative and realistic reform proposals for a VAT suitable for a 21st century economy that are grounded in economic principles and at the same time, practicable in terms of law, policy, and administration. It factors in, in particular, the political, technical, and administrative realities that policymakers in VAT jurisdictions must navigate when developing reform programmes.


 With guidance on VAT design and implementation for policymakers and law drafters, the book is also a valuable resource for academics, students, and practitioners interested in VAT policy and practice, and the interactions between tax law, policy and economic principles.

Palgrave Studies in Impact Finance

“I am delighted to see this&nbsp;elaborate and comprehensive new book on financial&nbsp;inclusion in India by Shika Saravanabhavan and&nbsp;Meenakshi Rajeev. Financial inclusion has always been a critical issue in India's development process. Students, teachers, researchers and policy experts would be immensely benefited&nbsp;by this contribution, amply rich in&nbsp;evidence and analyses.”
--Sugata Marjit, Former Vice - Chancellor, Calcutta University, India. Former Director and RBI Chair Professor , CSSSC, Kolkata, India
&nbsp;
“Much has been written about financial inclusion in the Indian context. The Jan Dhan–Aadhaar–Mobile (JAM) trinity has brought about a transformative structural shift in this space, necessitating a holistic and comprehensive reassessment. This volume undertakes precisely that task, making it a significant and timely contribution to the literature on financial inclusion in India.”
--N R Bhanumurthy, Director, Madras School of Economics, India. Former Vice Chancellor, DR B R Ambedkar School of Economics, Bengaluru, India
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of financial inclusion in India, blending empirical analysis with policy evaluation. It showcases the remarkable progress achieved through various financial inclusion initiatives in India, most notably through the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), while also addressing the challenges that persist. Drawing on unit-level data from multiple rounds of the NSSO-Debt and Investment Survey, the book offers a rigorous assessment of four core components of financial inclusion: savings, credit, insurance, and remittances. This analysis is further enriched by data from the Reserve Bank of India and the Global Findex, providing a well-rounded analysis.&nbsp; By offering nuanced insights into India’s financial inclusion journey, this work serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, development practitioners, and students working in the domain of financial inclusion.
Shika Saravanabhavan is currently a Research Associate at the Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC), Bengaluru, India.
Meenakshi Rajeev is currently Professor of Economics at the Indian Institute of Technology, Jammu and Institute for Social and economic Change, Bengaluru, India.

India’s Financial Inclusion Journey

Moving Beyond Barriers

This Open Access book explores the evolving landscape of non-financial reporting and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance, with a specific focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and micro-enterprises. Drawing on European regulatory frameworks, stakeholder theory, and empirical case studies, the book examines how SMEs navigate sustainability demands in a context traditionally dominated by large corporations and global standards.The book addresses the historical evolution of CSR, the challenges of ESG integration for investors, and the methodological development of a composite ESG indicator tailored to SMEs. It introduces innovative tools such as the Mazziotta–Pareto Index and participatory accounting frameworks like CARE and SEMA, offering practical insights into ESG measurement and reporting. Through comparative case studies and analysis, it bridges the gap between ESG theory and SME realities, contributing to both academic research and professional practice.Ideal for scholars in economics, finance, and sustainability, as well as practitioners and policymakers, this book advances the conversation on responsible innovation, regional development, and the future of ESG in the SME sector.

Non-Financial Reporting and ESG Performance

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.

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.

EBI Studies in Banking and Capital Markets Law

<div>This book examines how the European bank recovery and resolution framework shapes bank governance and decision¿making, and how a clear and credible institutional regime for bank failure can strengthen banks’ resilience. It analyses the effects of the current resolution framework on bank governance by focusing on the ex¿ante expectations it creates for bank decision¿makers. Addressing a gap in the literature, the book shows how the new resolution regime for ailing banks has the potential to improve both the quality of bank governance and institutional resilience. However, the analysis reveals that such a potential is not fully exploited because of the complexity and the lack of credibility of the resolution framework. Finally, it identifies areas for further regulatory intervention, particularly in fine¿tuning debt governance within the resolution framework, with a view to further enhancing bank governance. The book will be of interest to scholars, instructors, and policymakers working in financial regulation, banking regulation, and financial law.</div>

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Uniswap or Tether are not just digitals currencies. Bitcoin is pure law. Since the emergence of the blockchain, it is possible to regulate ourselves in a decentralized, private way, with a law that is digital, self-regulating and self-executing. 

 Likewise, states, elites and official organizations repeat over and over again the same message from various platforms: Bitcoin is unregulated, it is only good for dirty business, it is merely speculative, etc. While we listen to these slogans, the price of Bitcoin continues to rise, unstoppable.
 
 We are witnessing the birth of a new law: internet law. Every era has its own legal system. Property law arose out of the settlement of agricultural societies. Commercial law was born in the Middle Ages. Corporate law flourished in the 17th century, thanks to the maritime mercantile business. Labour law appeared among the assembly lines of the factories of the Industrial Revolution. Digital laws, such as Bitcoin, are those of internet jurisdiction.
 
 Internet technology allows us to be sovereign, to issue digital laws in a decentralized way, and to organize ourselves through new institutions. It is our responsibility to seek social and legal solutions in line with the internet revolution. This is the message that Bitcoin gives us: let's not leave in the hands of distrustful third parties what we can solve from the community itself. Money and law, in the end, belong to society - to the community - and not to states.
