Midwestern Manners

'The best book on "story" that I have ever read' Jimmy McGovern 'A masterpiece . . . genius - funny and wise and occasionally profound' Billy Ivory A masterclass in telling stories - and how they shape our world - from the internationally renowned narrative expert To command narrative is to control a sometimes frightening power. What is it that turbocharges some tales, and how is it possible to harness that potency? John Yorke has revolutionised our understanding of story structure. In this new book he delves deeper - into how to put that structure to work in the world. Trip to the Moon takes us on a journey not just through drama and fiction but through politics, religion and non-western narrative, to seek out the role of story in all our lives, examining how to utilise its lessons to create life-changing tales - and, in a world aflame with conspiracy theories, to guard ourselves against their darker purpose too. Revealing the artful symmetry and underlying principles that connect Summer beach reads to Classical Chinese poetry, superhero flicks to Russian arthouse, and classical rhetoric to state propaganda, Yorke makes dazzling connections that show how stories have the power to transfigure the chaos of our existence into a new equilibrium, and make the world anew.

A history of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, and how the ambiguity built into that technology helps companies and exploits workersSeeing Like a Supply Chain is a compelling investigation into the hidden networks that drive our global economy. Miriam Posner presents a blow-by-blow account of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, revealing how the system's built-in ambiguity shields companies from accountability while exploiting workers.Drawing on more than a decade of research, Posner shows how computation converged with the growth of global trade to allow for a lightning-quick, astoundingly efficient supply chain that lets corporations source products without any notion of where their goods are actually being produced. At a time when multinational firms fear the reputational damage of human rights violations in the making of their products, the supply chain's shroud of vagueness is a feature, not a bug. Posner shows how this is technically accomplished-and how the strategic disavowal of information extends through every step of that chain.

From the creator of the viral Kardashian Kolloquium comes a New Media manifesto for the TikTok age - blending theory, cultural analysis and history to explain the meteoric rise of the Kardashians and what their fame reveals about how media functions today.Since 2007, Kim Kardashian and her extended family have mesmerised - and scandalised - the American public. We've been immersed in their social lives, controversies and reality TV exploits, while witnessing the staggering ascent of their multibillion-dollar fashion, beauty and media empire. But the central question remains: why are the Kardashians so famous? And what does their enduring relevance tell us about the media systems that shaped - and were shaped by - them?In Dekonstructing the Kardashians, MJ Corey, creator of the viral social platform Kardashian Kolloquium, delivers more than just the definitive cultural chronicle of the First Family of reality TV. She offers a probing exploration of how media has evolved in the internet age -and how it's reshaping our identities, our attention, and our understanding of reality itself. Part media theory, part cultural critique and part historical deep-dive, Dekonstructing the Kardashians weaves together fifty years of Western media history.Corey shows that the Kardashians aren't just celebrities - they're a mirror of our media moment, offering a key to understanding fame, identity and reality in the digital age.

Dekonstructing the Kardashians

Debasing the price of gold to protect the dollar has failed. A new system is now inevitable. The Western media fixation on Bitcoin--price, memetics, and volatility--ignores the strategic resurgence of gold. The narrative framing of the rise of gold ignores the cause: an underlying structural shift. In 2023 and 2024, Chinese gold imports surpassed most Western central banks' entire holdings. China doesn't need to announce a gold standard. It only needs to create conditions where gold becomes more trustworthy than Western fiat. The shift won't require an edict. It will occur by default, when trust fails and metal remains. The new significance of gold isn't driven by inflation fears or chart patterns--it reflects a tectonic restructure, a repricing of trust. Not trust from the public--but from institutions. Central banks keep buying gold. There was no mania. Just a quiet shift from paper gold promises to physical certainty. Then suddenly the Bank of International Settlements gave the transition a big shove via Basel III. Power is flowing East. China and Russia have drawn in massive amounts of gold while dumping Treasuries. The BRICS will unveil a gold backed e-CNY to compete with the dollar. Simultaneously, they are forcing the US debt back home in exchange for real assets, choking the Fed/Treasury on the mountain of paper, and grabbing the financial power. This momentous shift is already underway Western banks, lacking the gold to cover their obligations, are increasingly trying to financialize the problem. A Chinese edition of the original edition of Gold Wars was published by the prestigious Shanghai Jiao Tong University Press.

Polycentricity: Studies in Institutional Diversity and Voluntary Governance

Co-production, Institutions, and Governance explores the theory, practice, and transformative potential of co-production across institutional, organizational, and professional contexts. Co-production, broadly understood as the collaborative process whereby citizens, communities, and, in some cases, a variety of public actors jointly design, deliver, and modify goods and services, challenges traditional top-down approaches in both public and private domains. Drawing on diverse social science disciplines, the contributors examine how co-production fosters adaptive, efficient, responsive, and inclusive governance structures. The collection emphasizes both theoretical and applied perspectives, highlighting the ways co-production can enhance private and public value, social learning, and participatory decision-making. Technological, organizational, and institutional shifts over the past decades have increasingly blurred the distinction between producers and users, creating fertile ground for co-production. The case studies and empirical research included in the volume testify the versatility of co-production, from local governance initiatives to large-scale policy interventions, demonstrating its potential to address a variety of complex socio-economic challenges. Additionally, the volume critically examines power dynamics, institutional barriers, and opportunities that lead to co-production, offering practical guidance for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. By integrating interdisciplinary insights with tangible, applied-level experiences, this volume provides a comprehensive account of co-production as both a conceptual framework and a practical tool for fostering collaborative, inclusive, and sustainable governance. It serves as a reference point for all those seeking to understand, implement, and evaluate co-production in diverse socio-economic settings.

Passionately Transforming Management

The allure of crime is undeniable. From news headlines to true crime podcasts, crime has a way of entrapping our interest and imagination. An exploration of the lessons that managers can learn from organised crime, Passionately Transforming Management with Crime addresses how criminal enterprises engage with leadership and innovation, and how popular representations of crime affect our perceptions of management and organisation. Alf Rehn's enticing text explores crime from a number of angles - historical, cultural and economic - to better understand the link between business and crime, and the lessons that can be shared. It looks to crime both as a source of inspiration for entrepreneurship and organisation, and as an influence on management through iconographies, legends and storytelling. The book also debunks common misconceptions about the business of crime, and touches on the dangers of romanticising criminal endeavours. Following an examination of criminals in history and fiction, Passionately Transforming Management with Crime progresses to discuss why we are attracted to crime, how crime mirrors legitimate businesses, and what we can learn from the criminal underworld, both real and fictional. Passionately Transforming Management with Crime offers a compelling and novel approach to management that provides valuable insights for practicing managers, professionals, advanced postgraduate students and scholars in Management, Critical Management Studies and Organisation Studies. Witty and engaging, this text is a fascinating read for those interested in discovering the management lessons to be learnt from Jean Genet, Biggie Smalls and Grand Theft Auto.

Lo hemos pasado en grande siendo Swifties, y ahora, esa historia —llena de felicidad, amistad, conexión, payasadas y canciones cantadas a pleno pulmón —está documentada en este tributo a la comunidad de fans y la razón por la que estamos todos aquí, Taylor Swift. Todos sabemos cómo empezó: una adolescente de Pensilvania que se mudó a Nashville y pronto ascendió hasta la cima de las listas de música country. Aquí es donde comenzó la historia de Taylor Swift en 2006, pero también es donde empezó nuestra historia como Swifties. Nuestra historia es un emotivo viaje a través de la historia Swiftie, que muestra la evolución de una comunidad de fans que ha sobrevivido al paso del tiempo. Narrado a través de la lente de las experiencias personales, este libro es una crónica del auge de una comunidad que se ha mantenido ferozmente leal en cada etapa. Desde llamar a las emisoras de radio para pedir Tim McGraw, hasta momentos inolvidables en Tumblr en los que Taylor y los fans parecían un grupo de amigos y sobrevivir a una guerra con Ticketmaster —hemos estado ahí. Hemos aprendido lecciones vitales, intercambiado pulseras de la amistad, dominado las matemáticas de los husos horarios para conectarnos a directos, y creado un lenguaje que tan solo otro Swiftie —o la propia Taylor— puede entender. Pero más allá de todos estos momentos compartidos, lo que verdaderamente nos une es el hecho de que las letras de Taylor parecen haber sido escritas solo para nosotros, como reflejos de nuestras propias historias. Esta comunidad de fans, apasionada y única, ha ganado premios y se ha estudiado a fondo, pero, por primera vez, los fans pueden rememorar y celebrar lo que significa ser parte de esta comunidad que te cambia la vida. Una carta de amor escrita por una Swiftie para Swifties, Nuestra historia es una promesa de que nuestra historia jamás será olvidada.
