Sir Halley Stewart Trust: Lectures

Salter A: The World's Economic Crisis

The World's Economic Crisis

and the Way of Escape

1. Sir Arthur Salter 2. Sir Josiah Stamp 3. J. M. Keynes 4. Sir Basil Blackett 5. Henry Clay 6. Sir W. H. Beveridge.

Private equity buccaneers have generated untold wealth by plundering the worlds of commerce, defence and sport. In the process they have also destroyed jobs, hurt consumers, neglected environmental concerns and undermined public trust in share markets. In this book, Alex Brummer, City Editor at the Daily Mail, lifts the lid on the dangers of private equity Financially driven private ownership has contributed to waterways being clogged with sewage; high parking charges; malfunctioning baggage handling at airports; the collapse and impairment of some of our best-loved retail stores and the alienation of sports fans from much-loved franchises. Private equity finance is an industry which thrives on leverage (debt), is untrammelled by regulations, poses a danger to economic stability and often works against the national interest. Starting out in the US, the private equity industry rapidly spread to Britain, where many of the big players have set up their European and global headquarters. In this wide-ranging book, Alex Brummer takes in a broad focus on the dangers of private equity to the global economic order, examining in detail the danger of grotesque levels of debt, and the neglect of the public interest in what private equity firms do.

Introduction to Global Business

What can a Roman coin, a Chumash shell necklace, and a Bitcoin tell us about world history? This book traces the surprising life of money across centuries and civilizations. The Daily Life of Money in History offers an eye-opening look at how humans have exchanged value across time and cultures. Each of the 150 entries explores a single object-beautifully illustrated and deeply contextualized-to uncover how people bought, sold, traded, saved, and survived through the ages. Designed with researchers, educators, students, and curious readers in mind, this richly visual volume brings together cultural history, economic life, and global exchange in a highly accessible format. Each object includes origin details, historical purchasing power, and its legacy today-making it an ideal reference for classrooms, libraries, and history lovers alike.

Routledge Research in Strategic Management

Contemporary organizations operate in environments defined by systemic openness and deep interdependence across economic, technological, institutional and socio-political systems. This book introduces the concept of strategic exposure to explain how firms navigate these interconnected fields, where competitive advantage depends not on defending isolated positions, but on governing exposure and adapting to continuous change. This book offers three integrative frameworks: the Strategic Field Framework, the Strategy Parachute, and the Renewal Loop. It provides tools for diagnosing exposure, coordinating across boundaries, and renewing advantage. Grounded in executive interviews, case studies, and pedagogical experiments, it combines conceptual synthesis with real-world insights to explore how organizations manage interdependence, legitimacy pressures, and competitive erosion. Aimed at researchers, scholars and postgraduate students in strategic management, international business, and organization studies, it also offers valuable insights for reflective practitioners and policymakers working in globally interconnected industries. By reframing strategy for open systems, the book provides a fresh perspective on how organizations can thrive in an era of uncertainty and interdependence.

A Framework for Economists with Policy Aspirations

Minimalist Market Design

Why the consequences of a prolonged period of weaker economic growth will be more profound than anyone dares to predictIn the heady progress of the post-war era, our lifestyles changed, our political systems adapted, and rapid economic growth became the model of every developed economy. But this prevailing consensus is falling apart around us. Growth is now, at best, no more than anaemic. Policymakers dream about an AI revolution and tweak their fiscal rules to accommodate a newly-austere economic reality but, all the while, government debt soars, financial markets become increasingly jittery, and voters lose trust in their politicians.Celebrated economist Stephen D. King asks how our politics will adapt to such persistently low growth. While leaders make fiscal promises based on a future that is unlikely to materialise, nationalism thrives, battlelines are drawn between perceived winners and losers, and the rules-based international order crumbles. The absence of growth triggers invidious political wrangling over tax, welfare, defence and infrastructure, intensifies competition for resources, and leads to social instability.King shows how our new world is governed by them-and-us divisions over limited economic spoils. This is the political economy of plunder.&nbsp;

Winners and Losers in the Low Growth Era

The Age of Plunder

'Michael Auerbach has one of the most original minds I've ever encountered . . . This is a dazzling and entertaining book . . . But it is also an urgent warning' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE, author of Empire of Pain A brilliant exploration of the phenomenon of prediction markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? Prediction markets are sweeping the world, fundamentally changing the nature of gambling - and the very ways in which we attempt to divine the future. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction markets allow any difference of opinion - whether on pop culture or politics, wars or assassinations - to be financialised. A regulatory minefield with moral implications that divide nations, governments and bettors, they have proved as effective at accurately predicting the timing of missile strikes as they have at calling the outcomes of elections.But are these markets really a new phenomenon? And what does it mean when those tasked with safeguarding democracy hold financial stakes in its volatility?From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through nineteenth-century London's wartime coffee house gossip, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange and blockchain-based betting on Polymarket today, The Big Bet tells the gripping five-hundred-year story of a permissive regime that no one designed and no one voted for.Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future where democracy becomes just another commodity to be priced and traded. Because prediction markets are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world where everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

Routledge Studies in Development Economics

The Political Economy of International Development Assistance

Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy

The 1997 Asian Crisis and 9/11 were turning points for the world economy. The two events reminded the Western World of the dynamic impacts of globalisation and the increased uncertainty the world was facing. This book examines the threats to the world economy arising in the wake of the tragedy of 11th September 2001 and the preceding Asian financial crisis of 1997. The author makes the point that a distinctive '1990s-type' global capitalist system was the victim of these attacks, so that an appreciation of the peculiarities of this system is essential to an examination of the specific threats that it is likely to face in future and the policy measures necessary to deal with them. As an international relations specialist working for a Japanese trade organization both in Britain and Japan itself, the author has a somewhat uniquely privileged vantage point from which to observe, analyze and evaluate the future tendencies and dangers of the new global system. The book cuts across economics and politics and as such will be of use to a wide audience within both of these disciplines.
