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 future "Essential reading for anyone who's outraged and ready to do something about it." --Lina Khan, former chair, Federal Trade CommissionIn 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 trailblazing lawyer who, with her team, 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.

Anti-Monopoly

“This volume offers a refreshing departure from the Western-centric focus of behavioural public policy research and debate. By grounding the narrative in the institutional realities of Central and Eastern Europe, the authors relate behavioural theories to people living and operating in post-transition societies.”--Maros Servatka, Professor, Macquarie Business School, Australia and Bratislava University of Economics and Business, Slovakia.“This timely book bridges the gap between behavioural theory and real-world application, specifically tailored to Central and Eastern Europe. From designing smarter choice architecture in healthcare and boosting property tax collection to understanding the housing and transport trade-offs young adults face, this volume serves as a practical toolkit.”--Jiří Špalek, Professor, Masaryk University, Czechia.This book examines the use of behavioural economics to address policy issues in Central and Eastern Europe.&nbsp;Drawing on case studies from different countries across the region and policy areas – including housing, transportation, and healthcare – the book assesses how insights from behavioural economics have been utilised in the public sector to inform public policy. In doing so, it throws important light on the unique challenges for policy design, implementation and service delivery in Central and Eastern Europe, especially with regard to migration, urbanisation, ageing populations, and regional inequalities. By focusing on an underexplored region, it also extends and challenges existing knowledge on behavioural public policy more generally.At a time when Europe is undergoing significant demographic and social change, this timely book will appeal to scholars and students of public policy, public administration and economics.&nbsp;Mária Murray Svidroňová &nbsp;is Associate Professor in the Department of Public Economics and Regional Development, Matej Bel University, Slovakia.&nbsp;Nikoleta Jakuš Muthová is Assistant Professor in the Department of Public Economics and Regional Development, Matej Bel University, Slovakia.&nbsp;

Behavioural Public Policy in Central and Eastern Europe

Public Sector Organizations

This book sets out to investigate how individuals within modern welfare states adopt distinct roles and identities when interacting with public organisations – as citizens who contribute to society, as consumers driven by personal preferences, and as customers demanding efficiency and responsiveness. It also considers the impact of these roles in shaping public sector institutions. &nbsp;Drawing on evidence from Sweden, the book examines the intricate and sometimes conflicting roles of citizens, consumers, and customers in the public sector, demonstrating how public institutions must simultaneously balance collective welfare, individual rights, and market logic in order to preserve democratic engagement and trust in public organisations.
 The book will appeal to scholars and students of public administration, public management and governance, as well as practitioners.

Governance and Public Management

This book examines public administration in Argentina. Bringing together leading scholars from across the country and beyond, it provides key recommendations for improving public sector effectiveness, strengthening strategic capacities, and fostering more responsive and inclusive governance. The book also aims to reinsert Argentina into global debates around public management, civil service reform, and administrative capacity. At a time when public administration in Argentina is currently "under siege" due to radical austerity, it provides important insights into broader international debates on democratic backsliding, policy dismantling, and the rise of the new right. In doing so, the book offers important insights for academics examining public administration in turbulent and contested political environments, as well as policymakers, civil servants, and practitioners.Nelson Cardozo

How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Uncovering how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence-based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, antitrust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.

Public Funds for Private Gain

Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital

This edited book addresses the paradox of sustainability amidst the complexities of economics, enterprises, environment, and society. It delves into the economic, social, and environmental dimensions, examining not only the interconnections and alignments, but also the conflicts across various levels of sustainable development.&nbsp;With the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a backdrop, the book addresses the trending topic of sustainability among economists, scholars, practitioners, environmentalists, policymakers, and the general public. Despite the SDGs’ projected realization by the 2090s, significant "why not" challenges remain. Current research, policies, and practices are often fragmented, relying on specialized or professional works.The contents of this book transcend geographical, sectorial, and professional boundaries to examine the intersections and paradoxes among the three dimensions of sustainability, provoking further debates and generating societal impacts. The book is divided into four parts: the first three present original research from various disciplines addressing specific concerns of each sustainability dimension. The fourth part includes perspectives of practitioners such as founders of social enterprises and non-profits, alongside editorial analysis of the complexities and paradoxes of sustainability for theoretical, practical, and policy recommendations.Adopting a holistic approach, this book offers actionable insights and strategies to address sustainability challenges, fostering ecosystem resilience and long-term global development.

THE ETHICAL OCEAN

KIRKUS PRIZE FINALIST • A stunning new work from universally acclaimed Daniyal Mueenuddin, whose debut short story collection won the Story Prize and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Book Prize, the National Book Award, and the Pulitzer Prize. “The pages turn themselves. . . . This Is Where the Serpent Lives is a serious book that you’ll be hearing about again when the shortlists for the big literary prizes are announced.” —The New York Times Moving from Pakistan’s dazzling chaotic cities to its lawless feudal countryside, This Is Where the Serpent Lives powerfully evokes contemporary feudal Pakistan, following the destinies of a dozen unforgettable characters whose lives are linked through violence and tragedy, triumph, and love. Orphaned as a little boy and fending for himself in the city streets, Yazid rises to a place of responsibility and respect in the Lahore household of Colonel Atar, a powerful industrialist and politician, only to find that position threatened by conflicting loyalties and misplaced trust. Born on Colonel Atar’s country estate to a poor gardener, Saqib is entrusted with the management of a pioneering business, but he overreaches and finds himself an outlaw, confronting the violence of the corrupt Punjab Police. The colonel’s son competes with his cherished brother for the love of a woman and discovers that her choice colors his life with unexpected darkness as well as light. In matters of power and money and the heart, Mueenuddin’s characters struggle to choose between paths that are moral and just and more worldly choices that allow them to survive in the systems of caste, capital, and social power that so tightly grip their culture. Intimate and epic, elegiac and profoundly moving, This Is Where the Serpent Lives is a tour de force destined to become a classic of contemporary literature.
