Smith C: The Credit Investor

The Credit Investor

A forthcoming Metropolitan nonfiction title to be published on February 26, 2027

Untitled Metropolitan Nonfiction Winter 2027 9781250469588

The Digital Economy in the Age of Central Bank Digital Currencies offers a rigorous and timely examination of how money, payments, and monetary authority are being reshaped by digitalization. Moving beyond technology-centric narratives, the book reframes the digital economy as a monetary and institutional system one in which platforms, data infrastructures, and private payment networks increasingly mediate economic life, challenging the traditional role of public money. Integrating monetary theory, institutional economics, payment economics, and political economy, the authors analyze central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) as strategic institutional responses to the fragmentation and privatization of digital payments. The book explores how CBDCs interact with monetary policy transmission, financial stability, competition, data governance, and legal frameworks, emphasizing design choices and governance trade-offs rather than technological hype. With comparative global analysis and a distinctive regional focus on Uzbekistan and Central Asia, the volume provides rare insight into CBDC adoption in emerging and developing economies. Richly supported by analytical frameworks, figures, and policy roadmaps, it equips policymakers, central bankers, scholars, and graduate students with a coherent understanding of why the future of money will be shaped less by code than by institutions. At a moment when many jurisdictions are moving from experimentation to implementation, this book serves as an essential guide to designing digital public money that is credible, inclusive, and institutionally sound.

How do we make workplaces more sustainable, given the present world challenges? Balancing critical and management perspectives with the sociological and psychological aspects of organizational behaviour, this textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject and helps you think critically about the effects of human action on people at work. This edition has reworked chapters and a strong focus on sustainability and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. It includes new coverage of the impact of artificial intelligence, work-life balance, hybrid and remote working, DEI initiatives and changes to organizations post-Covid. There are a variety of features to help you connect theory to practice, including The Reality of Work and Globalization and Organizational Behaviour. Globally-oriented, this 5th edition includes new cases and examples from around the world, and includes new chapter case studies that are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It assumes no prior knowledge of the subject or previous work experience, and the content fits to the typical structure of Organizational Behaviour modules at undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA level.

What if the greatest threat to America isn't a missile but a strategy?

Written by a team of real researchers and strategic advisors, this 367-page book offers a comprehensive, human-curated account of China's rise and what it means for America's future.
 
With 23 insightful chapters and nearly 500 citations, including congressional reports, this book offers a sweeping, well-researched account of China-U.S. relations, connecting pivotal historical moments to today's most pressing challenges. China's rise isn't accidental-it's a calculated, long-term plan to shift global power while America bears the cost.

Have you ever wondered why so many companies fail outright or consistently
underperform while a select few achieve enduring greatness? My book,
which blends business leadership with Italian history, unveils an insightful
answer to this elusive question. The book aims to inspire visionary leaders to
audaciously reimagine their businesses and steer them toward creating the next great
company.
The book's innovative approach encourages leaders to be proactive and establish a
sentinel system to see the future more clearly and sooner. This is the secret to lasting
excellence. Additionally, the book differentiates itself from others by packaging the
CEO's role as a transformative and illuminating guide-a single source of information
and an actionable playbook for winning.
Arriving at an insightful answer to the initial question posed requires a thorough
examination of the primary reasons companies consistently underperform or disappear
altogether, along with discovering the magic recipe that enables a small group to avoid
this fate. Companies underachieve or vanish primarily due to: l eadership failure,
disruptive innovation, and severe shocks. The framework outlined in the book is the
antidote to this affliction that affects many companies. This framework includes the
three foundational pillars of business-extraordinary leadership, brilliant strategy,
and superb execution-as well as nine principles of greatness.

The Unscripted Leader: A Practical Indian Leadership Framework for Judgment, Strategy and Self-Leadership

In today's volatile and complex business environment, leadership is no longer about copying best practices or applying borrowed Western models. It is about judgment in leadership - knowing what to hold on to, what to question, and what to let go when familiar answers stop working.

The Unscripted Leader is a powerful Indian leadership book written for managers, founders, senior professionals, and aspiring executives who must act without ready-made playbooks. As professionals transition from management to leadership roles earlier than ever, they face ambiguity, pressure, and organisational complexity with limited preparation. Conventional theories often fail to reflect Indian realities. This book offers a practical, context-driven alternative.

At its core is a structured leadership framework built around sixteen foundational leadership moves, organised through the 4D Meta-Framework. This model integrates:

Self-leadership and inner drivers

Workplace realities and organisational dynamics

Systems thinking and structural forces

Strategic thinking and agility in uncertain environments

Rather than prescribing formulas or motivational clichés, this book develops clarity of thought, executive maturity, and sound strategic decision-making skills.

The ideas are brought to life through eight in-depth Indian leadership case studies spanning public institutions, private enterprises, healthcare, digital platforms, social enterprises, space, and energy sectors. These real-world contexts highlight trade-offs, dilemmas, unintended consequences, and complex stakeholder dynamics - the true terrain of modern leadership.

This book is especially valuable for:

Managers transitioning into leadership roles

Entrepreneurs and founders scaling organisations

Senior executives strengthening organisational leadership capabilities

Public sector leaders navigating institutional complexity

Professionals committed to long-term leadership development

Unlike many generic business books, this is not a quick-fix guide. It is a self-directed executive leadership development program designed to build judgment, character, and context awareness over time.

If you are searching for a serious business leadership book in India that strengthens strategic clarity, systems insight, and character-driven leadership, The Unscripted Leader provides a practical roadmap for leading with confidence in uncertain times.

LEADERS CREATE THEIR OWN PLAYBOOKS
