Cole H: The First Great Depression

The First Great Depression

How the Rothschild Dynasty Built the Banking System Behind Wall Street - and Why It Matters

Preya Bhattacharya offers the first full-length assessment of the impact of microfinance on post-conflict women's empowerment in the Balkans. In so doing, she provides vital new insights into what women's microfinance contributes to macroeconomic development in the former Yugoslavian countries of Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo. At the same time, she develops a uniquely clear, concise approach to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), which she uses to make sense of an extensive, exhaustive raw set of available data and research. This methodology not only offers a way of using both micro and macroeconomic data to revisit Amartya Sen's theory of development as freedom, but also provides a framework for other researchers to assess the impacts of microfinance on women's development throughout the world, and particularly in the Global South. For its original focus, its clear and streamlined methodological approach, and its global implications, this book provides a go-to source for researchers, students, and practitioners of international development, gender studies, and economics and finance.

A Qualitative Comparative Analysis

Microfinance and Post-conflict Women's Empowerment in the Balkans

What works-and what doesn't-when companies try to do goodCan companies really be "socially responsible"-and should they try? This debate is newly urgent as consumers, employees, and investors push companies to take a stand on everything from climate change to inequality. In this lively and clear-eyed book, economist Ray Fisman cuts through the rhetoric around "doing well by doing good" to show what actually changes corporate behavior and what doesn't-and what corporations should really do if they have society's interests at heart. He will answer questions many of us may be asking:¿ Will consumers pay more for eco-friendly products? ¿ Will employees work harder if they're paid a living wage? ¿ Do ESG (environmental, social, and governance) funds make a difference? ¿ Should you pay more for fair-trade coffee at your local café? (Yes, you should.)Drawing on decades of evidence, Fisman examines which approaches to corporate responsibility make a genuine difference-and which are cheap talk, or worse. The result is a practical framework for understanding the tradeoffs between profit and purpose, recognizing which efforts to do good are likely to succeed, and how your choices can push companies to do better.

The Economics of Making Business Do the Greatest Good

The Model Company

So you need a...Will

In Devil Take the Hindmost, Edward Chancellor traces the origins of the speculative spirit back to the publicani of ancient Rome and chronicles its revival in the modern world: from the tulip scandal of 1630s Holland and 'stockjobbing' in London's Exchange Alley, to the infamous South Sea Bubble of 1720, which prompted Sir Isaac Newton to comment, 'I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.' This revised and updated edition analyses with characteristic liveliness and precision the end of the dot-com bubble, the property value speculations that culminated in the 2008 financial crisis, the 'Everything Bubble' of the pandemic years and the gigantic speculations of Artificial Intelligence. This is the story of human hopes and folly through the ages, populated by brokers underwriting risks that included highway robbery and the 'assurance of female chastity'; credit notes and lottery tickets circulating as money; wise and unwise investors from Alexander Pope and Benjamin Disraeli to Hillary Rodham Clinton and well-known leaders of our own time.

'Pulls off the rare feat of making you laugh, think and feel like you happened upon a top secret dossier' GEOFF NORCOTT'MONEYMANIA is a page-turner and a must read if you wonder why the world is so screwed up.' PATRICK ALLEY, author of VERY BAD PEOPLEThe anonymous author of TAXTOPIA takes us behind the scenes as he embarks on another part of his career, this time recruited as an economist into an industry that believes the world of money can be predicted with almost scientific accuracy. Instead, he discovers that economics has long been driven by vested interests, reckless predictions and a staggering lack of common sense.In MONEYMANIA we find out why mortgages cost more because of a casual remark made in New Zealand in the '80s, and ask whether the Age of Austerity was due to a simple spreadsheet error. We also learn that if America behaved more like Iceland, they would have put 32,000 bankers in prison.The Rebel Accountant strips away the complexities of economics, showing us how the profession is responsible for some of the greatest mistakes of all time - and leaves us wondering how they got away with it.This is MONEYMANIA.

Wealth, Power and the Cult of Economics

MONEYMANIA

Choosing tenants, raising the rent, returning deposits, and maintaining rental property--these are just a few of the things landlords do that are strictly regulated by California law. To avoid problems and hefty legal fees, rental property owners and managers need to know and comply with federal, state, and local rules, and use the proper legal forms. Fortunately, everything you need is in this book. Rent control and eviction protections are blossoming throughout California; alongside statewide protections, even small municipalities are enacting local ordinances that affect rent, terminations, and notices. This book contains a unique rent control chart that explains key provisions and gives information on how to learn more. No California landlord can afford to do business without checking for local ordinances and following them.

Complexities and Comparisons

Business History

In a movement-defining book, the "godmother of the current moment of dissatisfaction with establishment politics" (The New York Times) tells the story of the rising anti-monopoly movement and charts a course to a democratic futureIn a short, sharp political book, The Nation magazine's "Anti-Monopolist" columnist and "a prophet of the resurgent left" (Franklin Foer) explains the battle between the forces of oligarchy and the rise of the new anti-monopoly movement. Using the stories of modern anti-monopoly heroes including Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan; grocer Anthony Pena, who turned his frustrations with big box stores into a new grocers movement; and Doha Mekki, a Sudanese immigrant who developed the first successful criminal wage-fixing case for the Department of Justice; Teachout explains how anti-monopoly cuts across traditional political lines and gives real teeth to economic populism. Teachout, a scholar of the law of democracy and a politician whose run for governor of New York State shocked the political establishment, argues that monopoly is the architecture of private tyranny, and that breaking corporate power is essential to building a new democracy. From AI to agriculture, healthcare to energy, Americans understand that corporate concentration doesn't just cause inequality; it organizes power. Anti-Monopoly gives that feeling a name, a history, and a way forward. After a spate of books out of the Abundance movement arguing that we need to remove local democracy and focus on efficiency at scale, this book provides a sharp counterpoint.

The Law of Financial Crime

Following the events of 9\11 individual countries and the international community became increasingly concerned about how best to prevent the funding of terrorist groups. Alternative remittance systems such as Hawala, where money is moved informally between a network of brokers in the Middle East, north Africa and south Asia have been identified as a potential source of terrorist financing leading to calls for greater regulation of such alternative remittance systems.This book analyses the risk such alternative remittance systems pose in terms of terrorist financing, offering a detailed overview of the historical origins and methods of operation of alternative remittance systems or informal value transfer systems. The factors that have come to ensure that these systems have remained operationally viable in modern times are identified along with the risks they present balanced against an overview of their actual misuse for illicit purposes to date. The book presents a detailed critique of the UK framework for the regulation of these systems drawing where possible on existing data to assess the use and effectiveness of these measures in practice. A range of options for mitigating risks associated with specific remittance corridors is considered ranging from initiatives that promote remittances through the banking sector, to efforts to mitigate risk and the impact on the delivery of UK overseas development aid. The book concludes with key recommendations as to the effectiveness of the current regulatory framework within the UK viewed from the perspective of international efforts to secure the regulation of these systems, and in stemming terrorist finance as part of national and international counter-terrorism policy.
