Fox J: The Myth of the Rational Market
Revised Edition

The Myth of the Rational Market Revised Edition

A History of Risk, Reward, and Delusion on Wall Street

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Pornography Business

The book Finance in Non-Financial Problems applies the concept of finance to non-financial problems including politics, the market for ideas, social networks, free trade, and the law. The principal objective is to use techniques such as portfolio theory, diversification, options, and market efficiency in areas where they have not previously been used. Finance in Non-Financial Problems is then an interdisciplinary resource applying the techniques of uncertainty to new disciplines, providing a new way to look at old problems, presenting problems in the social sciences with a new perspective, and allowing readers to consider political, legal, and social issues in a new way.

How to Own the World

Strategies for finding big, long-lasting success.We're drawn to stories of people who succeed against the odds. But what if those stories aren't just inspiring? What if they reveal a strategy?In Your Life Needs a Strategy, Martin Reeves, Christian Stadler, Julia Hautz, and Hamad Buamim argue that extraordinary success is rarely the product of talent or effort alone--and it's never just luck. It comes from knowing how to work with uncertainty: spotting opportunities others miss, experimenting when outcomes are unclear, influencing situations that seem fixed, and creating possibilities that didn't exist before.At the heart of the book is a simple but powerful idea: you can't control the future, but you can shape the conditions that determine your odds. By choosing the right strategy for the environment you're in--and knowing when to shift--you gain leverage over outcomes that once felt random.Success doesn't go to the smartest or the hardest working. It goes to those who understand how success actually happens in complex systems. Your Life Needs a Strategy is a practical guide for anyone who wants to increase their visibility, influence, and impact by thinking more strategically about where to play, how to move, and when to change course.

How to Increase Your Odds of Doing Extraordinary Things

Your Life Needs a Strategy

Reinventing public health careers through entrepreneurship.Public health has long been associated with government agencies and nonprofit organizations. Yet a growing number of professionals are forging new paths--launching businesses, consulting across sectors, and designing ventures that align market strategy with population health goals. In The Public Health Consultant, Charlotte Hughes Huntley offers a practical and motivating guide for professionals who want to build or expand entrepreneurial careers grounded in public health principles. Drawing on her own experience as an entrepreneur and other examples from the field, Huntley examines how public health training translates into business development, strategic partnerships, marketing, and innovation. The book addresses a shifting landscape in which traditional roles can feel unstable and interdisciplinary collaboration has become essential. As MPH/MBA programs expand and private-sector interest in public health expertise grows, professionals are seeking guidance on how to navigate contracts, pricing, branding, client relationships, and ethical decision-making while maintaining a commitment to equity and evidence-based practice. Huntley outlines concrete steps for clarifying one's vision, identifying opportunities, building sustainable business models, and positioning services in a competitive environment. She also considers the mindset shift required to move from employee to founder, helping readers reframe risk, ownership, and impact. Designed for public health professionals, students in MPH/MBA programs, and practitioners exploring independent or cross-sector work, The Public Health Consultant expands the definition of what a public health career can be--and equips readers to design one on their own terms.

Palgrave Studies in Public Debt, Spending, and Revenue

This book examines the interplay of professional norms and political accountability in the process of making decisions about whether, how, and how much debt state and local governments should incur. The careful analysis of accountability in actual decisions, focusing particularly on whether and how individual and collective decision-making behavior responds to general (stipulated) norms and situational (negotiated) expectations in their broader social contexts, is a familiar approach in the study of management and public organizations generally, but has not been extensively applied to this area of public financial decision making. Political economists, especially those identified with the public-choice approach, have done extensive macro-level normative and theoretical analysis of public debt, but not in an empirically rich fashion. This book therefore constitutes a missing link that uses analyses of selected cases to advance conceptual understandings of organizational accountability spaces in general, and decisions to incur public indebtedness and the implications of those decisions specifically, by examining the intersection of the macro, meso, and micro levels of expectations for and practices of public financial decision making.

Professionalism and Accountability in Public Finance Decision-Making

Evolution, Trade and Competition

International Banking and Bank Strategy

From the author of A People's Guide to Capitalism, a clear-eyed look at cryptocurrencies from the left, cutting through the glitz and the scams to reveal how crypto mirrors and exacerbates the crises of capitalism. 
 
Cryptocurrencies have gone from being fringe investments relevant only to hardcore adherents to a $3.7 trillion industry with a direct line to Donald Trump's White House. The promises of crypto are wide-ranging, preying on a basic reality: people are disaffected by an economic and financial system that has excluded them and wonder if cryptocurrencies can offer a more transparent and inclusive alternative. 
 
Challenge any of these notions, or raise concerns about crypto's associations with money laundering, the speculative bubbles ballooning around these assets, or the disastrous climate implications of the technology behind crypto, and you'll be told by proselytizers that you simply don't understand. That complexity is often intentional, serving as a shield from critical scrutiny. 
 
Enter Crypto-Capitalism, Hadas Thier's deft, accessible examination of the rise and fall and rise again of crypto. Drawing on years of reporting on the industry, its insiders, and the ordinary people impacted by its wild peaks and busts, Thier explains how cryptocurrencies work, elucidates the context and implications of their rise, and debunks the utopian mythology that animates their boosters. 
 
By showing that systemic exploitation and domination are inherent in a crisis-ridden capitalist economy and are matters of class power, not technology, Thier convincingly cuts through the froth and the lies of financial dystopia. Along the way, she opens up alternative avenues for imagining what economic democracy could actually look like.

The New Financial Dystopia

Crypto-Capitalism

We vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?

The Modern Money Questions That Could Save Your Relationships

Yours or Mine?

Das Fachbuch verknüpft die Diskussion virtueller Währungen mit möglichen Auswirkungen von Bitcoin und Co. auf Zentralbankpolitik. Es richtet sich sowohl an Wissenschaftler, Experten und Praktiker als auch an interessierte Laien. Im ersten Teil bietet es einen Überblick über Geld, Geldtheorien und die Funktionsweise des konventionellen Geldsystems sowie seine aktuellen Probleme und Herausforderungen. Zu letzteren zählen insbesondere virtuelle Währungen, allen voran Bitcoin. Der zweite Teil des Buches widmet sich daher zunächst ausführlich ihrer Abgrenzung zu Fiatgeld, ihren Nutzern und Regulierungsfragen. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt schließlich auf der Bedeutung virtueller Währungen für Zentralbanken im Hinblick auf Auswirkungen auf den Geldmarkt und weitere relevante Politikfelder. Hier werden mögliche Reaktionen der Zentralbanken diskutiert und ob virtuelle Währungen eine ernstzunehmende Gefahr für das Geldschöpfungsmonopol sowie eine tatsächliche Konkurrenz im Geldsystem darstellen. Das Buch schließt mit einem Blick auf die Blockchain-Technologie und ihrer Bedeutung für verschiedene Finanzbranchen.
 
 Die AutorinDr. Beate Sauer ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin und Postdoc am Institut für Ökonomie und Recht der globalen Wirtschaft an der Universität der Bundeswehr München und Dozentin für volkswirtschaftliche Vorlesungen an der Hochschule des Bundes für öffentliche Verwaltung in Haar.
