The Life of the Late John Elwes,
Esquire; Member in Three Successive Par

The Life of the Late John Elwes, Esquire; Member in Three Successive Parliaments for Berkshire

Independent, inflation-targeting central banks were supposed to deliver stable prices, financial stability and lasting prosperity. Instead, they have presided over financial crises, stagnant growth, rising inequality and the return of inflation. Yet policy makers and politicians have proved remarkably reluctant to challenge the orthodoxy. Why has this model proved so resilient-and what should replace it? In The Gods That Failed, economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that today's macroeconomic policy framework rests on five powerful myths that have shaped economic thinking since the 1980s. From the "natural" rate of interest and the management of inflation expectations to efficient financial markets and the taboos surrounding fiscal dominance and credit policy, these ideas continue to constrain policymakers even as the evidence against them becomes overwhelming. Blending colourful economic history, cutting-edge research and vivid real-world examples, Ryan-Collins opens-up the often opaque and technocratic world of monetary and financial policy for a wide readership and illustrates its fundamental flaws. At a time of repeated economic and financial shocks, ecological breakdown and geopolitical instability, The Gods That Failed argues that rebuilding our economies will require a wholesale rethinking of how central banks, governments and financial institutions work together to manage money, credit and the macroeconomy.

How To Live An Extraordinary Life

AI and quantum computing are two disruptive forces about to push financial services and the banking industry over the edge, demanding an unprecedented transformation. They are not fleeting trends but fundamental disruptors that will reshape the core of banking and finance. Authored by a senior Swiss banking technology executive, this practical guide helps board members and senior leaders turn disruption into a disciplined strategic agenda. It offers a rare insider perspective and a roadmap for navigating these seismic shifts. Bridging the gap between technological innovation and practical application, this book equips leaders with the tools to address the challenges and opportunities posed by AI and quantum computing. It features a thorough review of the latest business opportunities and threats associated with these technologies, alongside foresight-based strategic decision frameworks to guide prioritisation. Real-world case studies and an online companion with 125 AI use cases tailored for banks provide actionable insights. It also introduces an original AI Adoption Maturity Model and a Hybrid Enterprise Reference Architecture to ensure safe integration of internal systems with external frontier models. Finally, it provides two detailed multi-year roadmaps, offering a clear path to harness AI's potential and to prepare for a post-quantum future through crypto agility.Rather than offering abstract predictions or generic solutions, this book presents financial-services leaders with the frameworks, choices, and implementation path they need to act with confidence at a moment when waiting is no longer an option.

Evolutions at the Bleeding Edge

How AI and Quantum Computing Will Make or Break the Bank

A groundbreaking new framework for business leaders and policymakers In Passionomics, Raja Rajamannar introduces an original intellectual framework that equips CEOs, CMOs, strategists, boards, and policymakers with a new lens for driving growth, innovation, and enduring customer loyalty. Where behavioral economics examines how individuals make decisions, Passionomics reveals how collective passion - the synchronized intensity of millions of people acting in concert - moves markets, reshapes industries, and creates extraordinary value for the organizations and institutions that learn to harness it. Rajamannar makes the case through vivid, real-world phenomena every leader recognizes but few have truly decoded: the economic waves generated by a Taylor Swift tour, the industry-wide momentum of Formula 1, the societal mobilization of the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games. These are not anecdotes. They are windows into a dynamic that, once understood, becomes a deliberate strategic advantage - one that transforms how companies build brands, design products, earn loyalty, and compete, and how policymakers shape economies, cities, and public life. Business leaders and policymakers will discover: <ul> <li>A new strategic framework - Passionomics - that explains how collective intensity operates as a distinct and powerful dynamic separate from individual behavior</li> <li>Why passion is a renewable source of innovation, loyalty, and growth - and why the organizations and institutions that ignore it are leaving extraordinary value on the table</li> <li>How to recognize, cultivate, and harness collective passion inside organizations, brands, entire categories, and public institutions</li> <li>Case studies from sports, entertainment, culture, and commerce that reveal the architecture of passion-driven growth</li> <li>A practical lens for boards, CEOs, CMOs, senior leaders, and policymakers who want to move beyond conventional playbooks and unlock step-change performance</li> </ul> Passionomics is essential reading for business leaders and policymakers who sense that something critical is missing from the standard strategic toolkit - and who want a rigorous, original framework for building companies, brands, institutions, and economies that win in ways others cannot replicate.

Why Passion Is the Most Overlooked Advantage in Business

Passionomics

This popular textbook offers a broad and accessible introduction to the building blocks of modern finance: financial markets, institutions and instruments. Theory is blended with real-world data, cases and numerical worked examples to offer a broad and accessible introduction to the building blocks of modern finance in the 5th edition of Finance and Financial Markets. The book features assessment and self-test resources to help support students and lecturers, as well as extensive discussion of regulatory developments, case studies involving FinTech and Brexit and fully updated data. An updated companion website is also available which offers lecturer slides and multiple choice questions. This new edition has updated data and cases throughout, ensuring that it is as up-to-date as possible in this fast-moving area. New material has been introduced relating to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, emerging markets and sustainable finance. The opening five chapters provide an introduction to the world of finance and cover the basic theory relating to the operation of financial institutions and the domestic and offshore (Eurocurrency) money markets. Chapters 6 to 10 deal with both the theory and practice relating to capital markets. The theory covers areas such as portfolio diversification, the capital asset pricing model, the Gordon growth model and the efficient market hypothesis, while the practice looks at the domestic and international bond markets and equity markets. After an examination of the foreign exchange market and forward markets, the final chapters of this comprehensive textbook cover derivative instruments, financial innovations and, as a closing reflection, financial regulation. Finance and Financial Markets is ideally suited to students at all levels who take economics, business and finance courses, as well as for those who want to understand the workings of the modern financial world.

Crypto Degenerates and the Rise of the Global Casino Economy

The American Meme

In 1977, The Economist coined the term "Dutch disease" to describe the damage to the real economy when wealth derives from resource exports rather than productive work. On April 1, 1978, the Second Amendment to the IMF's Articles of Agreement came into force, ending gold's monetary role within the IMF system and consolidating the transition to pure fiat money. With "money" no longer backed by anything real, the alchemists' dream of a "Philosopher's Stone"--the ability to create seemingly limitless wealth out of nothing--appeared to have been realized. But while real wealth produced by human labor is finite, fiat money creation is not subject to the same physical constraint. The result was a new and far more powerful variant of Dutch disease: the Philosopher's Stone Disease. The Money Powers' financialization of economies and imposition of neoliberalism increasingly privileged finance over production. Over the next four decades, the consequences extended beyond economics, eroding the cultural and civilizational heritage and traditions of large swaths of the global population. The socioeconomic impact of this pure fiat-money regime, globally and within the United States, has been an across-the-board deterioration, while its benefits accrued overwhelmingly to less than 0.01 percent of the population. Yet creating money cannot create the real goods it commands. The system therefore depends upon a steady external supply of real goods and the recycling of part of the resulting surpluses into U.S. financial assets. Energy revenues from West Asia have been key to sustaining it. A resurgent Iran thus posed an existential threat to the UK-established and U.S.-dominated oil order. Sanctions, assassinations, proxy wars, color revolutions, terrorist attacks and mass psychological manipulation followed, but failed to achieve their objective. If Iran emerges victorious from the war launched against it in 2026 and breaks U.S. control over the oil-rich Levant, the petrodollar recycling system will suffer a massive blow, accelerating withdrawal from U.S. Treasuries. The dilemma is stark: financial dominance ultimately requires real power to enforce it, while the Philosopher's Stone Disease has hollowed out the productive and military foundations of that power. Why the West Can't Recover: The Philosopher's Stone Disease explains why there may be no way back.

Blockchain-Evolution

Enorme Ungleichheiten, Klimakatastrophe, schleichende Faschisierung, unumschränkte polizeiliche Kontrolle - das Spektakel des Kapitalismus ist eine riesige Obszönität, die den politischen Vorstellungshorizont zunehmend beschränkt. Dass unter solchen Umständen der Gedanke aufkommt, man solle keine Hoffnungen in die vom Kapitalismus kolonisierten Staatsorgane setzen, ist leicht nachvollziehbar. Doch was ist die Alternative? Wie können wir uns eine Welt vorstellen, die nicht mehr von Institutionen, Bürokratie, Polizei, Lohnarbeit und dem Diktat des Geldes beherrscht wird? Wie lässt sich ein Leben denken - und leben - jenseits von Hierarchie und Herrschaft? 

 In seinem leidenschaftlichen Gespräch mit Félix Boggio Éwanjé-Épée begibt sich der französische Soziologe und Ökonom Frédéric Lordon mitten hinein in die von existenziellen Katastrophen geplagte Gegenwart und zeichnet so mitSchärfe, Witz und intellektueller Brillanz, dabei politische Theorie mit der spinozistischen Idee des Anderswerdens verknüpfend, die Konturen eines Denkens, das nicht resigniert, sondern Mut macht - Mut dazu, sich die eigene Vorstellungskraft zurückzuerobern.

Leben ohne ...?

A unified framework for understanding monetary policy, including recent unprecedented interventions by central banks Over the past two decades, monetary policy has been deployed in unprecedented ways, as central banks attempted to mitigate the adverse consequences of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, the COVID-19 global lockdown, and recent inflationary surges. In Monetary Economics and Policy, Pierpaolo Benigno offers a new way to understand the potency and effectiveness of monetary policy, presenting a unified modeling framework to analyze policy challenges posed by both paper and digital currency systems. He investigates current theoretical and policy controversies, drawing connections with historical themes in monetary economics. Benigno examines how central banks control the value of their currency amid competition from cryptocurrencies and private money-like securities; discusses the desirability of inflation targeting for macroeconomic stabilization; and explores theoretical grounds for the unconventional monetary policies seen in the recent period of zero nominal interest rates, including forward guidance, quantitative and credit easing, and helicopter money. He accompanies his analysis with an innovative visual representation of the New Keynesian model and inflation-targeting policies. Benigno's novel framework also allows the study of monetary policy normalization through quantitative tightening toward what has become the "new normal." He discusses the optimal provision of liquidity and the different roles of the government and financial intermediaries. Finally, he recounts historical controversies regarding the inflation-unemployment trade-off to understand the 2020s inflationary surge and delves into the causes and dynamics of hyperinflations, tracing them to the subtle, ambiguous linkages between monetary and fiscal policy and weak balance-sheet conditions for the central bank.
