Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance

Capital and the Allied Victory in the Great War 1914–32

War Finance in Britain

A glittering, bold, darkly funny novel about two sisters—one in New York, one in Singapore—who are bound by an ancient secretSisterhood is difficult for Su and Emerald. Su leads a sheltered, moneyed life as the picture-perfect wife of a conservative politician in Singapore. Emerald is a nihilistic sugar baby in New York, living from whim to whim and using her charms to make ends meet. But they share a secret: once, they were snakes, basking under a full moon in Tang dynasty China. A thousand years later, their mysterious history is the only thing still binding them together. When Emerald experiences a violent encounter in Central Park and Su boards the next flight to New York, the two reach a tenuous reconciliation for the first time in decades. Su convinces Emerald to move to Singapore so she can keep an eye on her—but she soon begins to worry that Emerald’s irrepressible behavior will out them both, in a sparkling, affluent city where everything runs like clockwork and any deviation from the norm is automatically suspect.Razor-sharp, hilarious, and raw in emotion, Sister Snake explores chosen family, queerness, passing, and the struggle against conformity. Reimagining the Chinese folktale “The Legend of the White Snake,” this is a novel about being seen for who you are—and, ultimately, how to live free.

Sister Snake

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “After his spectacular Lincoln in the Bardo, Saunders returns . . . with a new novel even more spectacular than the last.”—Los Angeles Times A “daring” (Time) novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling, Booker Prize–winning author of A Swim in a Pond in the Rain and Tenth of December, taking place at the bedside of an oil company CEO in the twilight hours of his life as he is ferried from this world into the next “Vibrant, fiendishly clever . . . Vigil is pure Saunders: the death of empathy, he insists, is greatly exaggerated.”—The Boston Globe Not for the first time, Jill “Doll” Blaine finds herself hurtling toward earth, reconstituting as she falls, right down to her favorite black pumps. She plummets towards her newest charge, yet another soul she must usher into the afterlife, and lands headfirst in the circular drive of his ornate mansion. She has performed this sacred duty 343 times since her own death. Her charges, as a rule, have been greatly comforted in their final moments. But this charge, she soon discovers, isn’t like the others. The powerful K. J. Boone will not be consoled, because he has nothing to regret. He lived a big, bold, epic life, and the world is better for it. Isn’t it? Vigil transports us, careening, through the wild final evening of a complicated man. Visitors begin to arrive (worldly and otherworldly, alive and dead), clamoring for a reckoning. Birds swarm the dying man’s room; a black calf grazes on the love seat; a man from a distant, drought-ravaged village materializes; two oil-business cronies from decades past show up with chilling plans for Boone’s postdeath future. With the wisdom, playfulness, and explosive imagination we’ve come to expect, George Saunders takes on the gravest issues of our time—the menace of corporate greed, the toll of capitalism, the environmental perils of progress—and, in the process, spins a tale that encompasses life and death, good and evil, and the thorny question of absolution.

Research in Creative Writing

Just like a magician, spiritual guide or modern-day witch, poets use their craft to tap into the inherent power of language as an agent of change, willing words to construct and alter reality through intentional acts and performances. Through an examination of the linguistic, historical, and affective poetics of magic, this book shows how pragmatic magical practices from the ancient and Medieval worlds, and poetry from the English Romantics to the present day, leverage the same linguistic qualities to bring about change. Making the case that contemporary poets, especially poets of disenfranchised identity groups, write with language meant to do something, Robert Eric Shoemaker highlights how these writers successfully incant through language, using techniques such as metaphor, symbolism, chant and other magics, to change their readers by leveraging slippages of meaning. Drawing on the long histories of magical, religious, and ritual language, from modernist poets through the English Romantics and stretching back to poems and spells from the Middle Ages and ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Jewish traditions, this book establishes a theoretical, analytic, and practical framework for magical poetics. An introduction to the theory and topic, Magical Poetics manages and expands on important poetic legacies, establishes frameworks of contemporary practitioners and aids today's writers and readers in seeing the importance of poetry in the everyday, positioning them as part of the larger lineage of poet-hierophants who may work to change the world with words.

The Power of Language and Effective Poetry

Magical Poetics

Pulitzer Prize–winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Strout’s new novel tells the story of a chance incident that sparks a powerful realization in a beloved teacher’s life—a poignant meditation on loneliness, friendship, parenthood, and the importance of truth in a capsizing world Artie Dam is living a double life. He spends his days teaching history to eleventh graders, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbors, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad—at himself and the people around him—and turns a question over and over in his mind: How is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us? And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear—and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence. Elizabeth Strout, as we have come to expect, delivers a moving exploration of the human condition—one that brims with compassion for each and every one of her indelible characters. With exquisite prose and profound insight, The Things We Never Say takes one man’s fears and loneliness and makes them universal. And in the same breath, captures the abiding love that sustains and holds us all.

The Things We Never Say

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

“A well-written interesting read, this book analyzes the actions of central banks amid the subprime crisis. It is a must read for those interested in economic policy, economic and financial history, and central banks.”–
 Sonali Garg
 , Assistant Professor, New Delhi Institute of Management and author of 
 The Telegraph and Stock ExchangesThis book explores the evolving role of the credit channel in contemporary macroeconomic policy and financial stability. In ten analytical chapters, Cristina Pecuiti examines the dual function of the credit channel—as both a conduit for monetary policy transmission and a macroeconomic stabilizer—within the broader context of capitalist economies.Grounded in both theoretical inquiry and empirical investigation, the volume first establishes the conceptual foundations of the credit channel, drawing on influential contributions from leading economists. Pecuiti systematically demonstrates the channel’s critical role in amplifying or mitigating the effects of monetary interventions, thereby shaping macroeconomic outcomes.A central focus of the book is the empirical analysis of the credit channel’s performance during the European subprime crisis. Pairing case studies with policy evaluations, Pecuiti assesses the measures adopted by EU Member States to preserve credit flows and support economic recovery. This analysis not only underscores the operational significance of the credit channel during periods of financial distress but also highlights its potential as a strategic policy instrument.The concluding chapters advocate for a structural rethinking of capitalism’s financial architecture, emphasizing the need for central banks to integrate the credit channel more explicitly into their policy frameworks. By doing so, the book argues that monetary authorities can foster conditions conducive to sustainable growth, price stability, and crisis prevention.The resulting book contextualizes modern economic governance and highlights the transformative potential of credit channels.&nbsp;Cristina Peicuti

The Economic Legacy of Eugen Varga

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died comes “a thorny examination of power, lust, shame and rage” (Los Angeles Times) from “a writer able to capture some of the darkest parts of human nature with unflinching honesty and devastating humor” (NPR) “Unapologetic and undeniable . . . If there was ever any doubt whether the narrative command that Jennette McCurdy displayed in her bestselling memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died might translate to fiction, let it henceforth be put to rest.”—Elle Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Forceful. Hurting. Perceptive. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all: Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn’t know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films and things that she doesn’t? Or is it purer than that, rooted in their unlikely connection, their kindred spirits, the similar filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it’s just enough that he sees her when no one else does. Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is a rich character study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles—or attempts to overcome them—in her effort to be seen, to be desired, to be loved.

Half His Age

This Palgrave Pivot aims to present a research-based, accessible analysis of the inner workings of the London stock exchange during the Georgian period.
Consolidating scattered archival sources and materials in one place, the book provides a solid historical basis for understanding the early modern stock market, ending with the formal creation of the Stock Exchange as an institution in 1801. Rather than going into detailed analysis of trading strategies and processes of the time, the book instead presents the ‘what‘, ‘where‘, ‘who’ and ‘how’ of the stock market operation, outlining the ways in which market participants negotiated trades, where these took place, and all the different types of securities that were traded. This engaging book will be of interest to financial and economic historians, as well as scholars in the humanities searching for a non-technical guide to the formation of the modern stock market.
