This Palgrave Pivot offers a groundbreaking reassessment of the concept of slavery in the Bible. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, it interweaves historical semantics with an analysis of language to argue that slavery as it is primarily understood today – as a legal institution which reduced individuals involuntarily to the status of property - was not legitimized by biblical doctrine.
 The book presents a concise, accessible argument, focused around the translation of the Bible into English and the use of the language of slavery. The term ‘slavery’, emerging in the sixteenth century, was at first used to identify a condition of dishonour, as well as a system of forced labour, and it was only in the seventeenth century that it came to be equated with the Roman institution of 
 servitus
 , and in the eighteenth with the ownership of people as property. As a result, and uniquely among studies of slavery in the Bible, this book does not seek to engage in debates about whether or not the Bible supported slavery, claiming the premise itself is mistaken. The idea that slavery was an ancient legal institution that reduced individuals involuntarily to the status of property is a product of modernity.
 This book has far-reaching implications for a range of disciplines including economic and legal history and biblical scholarship as well as slavery studies.Judith M. Spicksley

Milton Friedman and Economic Debate in the United States

The fourth installment of the sweeping account of the most influential economist in modern times, focusing on his crossover into the public sphere. Milton Friedman is widely recognized as one of the most significant contributors to economics in the modern age. Yet no previous study has distilled Friedman's vast body of writings into an authoritative account of his research, his policy views, and his interventions in public debate. Through his sweeping series on the most influential economist of the second half of the twentieth century, Edward Nelson closes this gap: Milton Friedman and EconomicDebate in the United States is the defining narrative on the famed public intellectual--the first to grapple comprehensively with Friedman's research output, economic framework, and legacy. Volume 4 of Nelson's intellectual and policy biography offers an exacting portrait of Friedman's career following his departure from the University of Chicago. Spanning 1977 to 1979, Nelson's narrative details Friedman's move to California and his greater immersion in public policy, including his project with Rose Friedman and television professionals to create a TV series giving his viewpoint. Nelson details the successes and failures of Friedman's years of extraordinary influence, including: <ul><li>His warnings about US inflation returning to double digits in 1979;</li><li>The changes in professional thinking in the US economics profession and policymaking toward acceptance of Friedman's view that inflation is a monetary phenomenon;</li><li>The rise of Paul Volcker to head of the Federal Reserve and his integration of monetarist ideas into US monetary policy;</li><li>Friedman's proposal to phase in a zero-tariff arrangement in the United States; </li><li>His role in the tax revolt of the 1970s--including his break with the emerging supply-side economics movement on the effects of tax cuts;</li><li>The second oil-price shock and Friedman's critique of the Carter Administration's energy policy;</li><li>The resilience after 1976 of Ronald Reagan's presidential ambitions and Friedman's 1979 endorsement of Reagan for president in the 1980 election.</li></ul>Drawing upon a large body of documentary sources, interviews with dozens of the people closest to Friedman, and his own expertise in Friedman's research area of monetary analysis, Nelson offers the definitive account of what proved to be pivotal years for Friedman and the field of economics.

Milton Friedman and Economic Debate in the United States, 1977-1979, Vol. 4

When the plan can’t keep up with changing conditions, strategic judgment must. Strategic leaders increasingly make consequential decisions in the gap between strategic intent and the plan of action. They need to stay oriented toward what they are trying to create while continually deciding what to hold, what to adapt, and what to let go of to meet rapidly changing conditions. The challenge is that pressure can begin shaping those decisions before you realize it. Over time, hundreds of reasonable choices can add up to something no one intended. In this book, strategist and executive coach Karin Blair reveals a hidden lever behind strategic judgment: the inner capacity of the leader making those calls. Through a framework of interconnected agilities, you’ll learn to <ul><li>build emotional agility to recognize when self-protection and reactivity are shaping your judgment,</li><li>develop cognitive agility to widen the perspectives and possibilities you can consider before deciding, and</li><li>strengthen navigational agility to stay oriented and committed as conditions change and results remain uncertain.</li></ul> With practical insights and real-world examples, Blair helps you recognize when pressure is narrowing your judgment and build the agilities that strengthen your capacity over time, so you can draw on it when the stakes are high. You can’t change the terrain. But you can expand your inner capacity to navigate it.

3 Agilities for Strategic Decisions

Capacity Under Pressure

A revelatory financial history showing that today's massive Islamic finance industry was preceded by decades of Muslim interest banking across Eurasia and Africa. Since the 1970s, the now multi-trillion-dollar Islamic finance industry has offered interest-free banking to Muslims around the world. Its proponents maintain that Islamic law strictly forbids all forms of financial interest. Many academic accounts echo this perspective, assuming that before the 1970s, Muslims either avoided interest banking out of deep-seated religious hostility or practiced it in defiance of religious stricture. Yet as Michael O'Sullivan argues, these narratives overlook rich traditions of Muslim interest banking that preceded Islamic finance. In the early twentieth century, the first modern Muslim-owned interest banks appeared across Eurasia and Africa-from India to the Ottoman Empire, Tsarist Russia, Habsburg Bosnia, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Palestine, and Indonesia. Viewed as a solution to Muslim economic distress, these banks intensified debates among Muslims about both the Islamic legal tradition and acceptable economic practices. While interest banks raised suspicions among some Islamic legal scholars, others explicitly defended their legality and encouraged Muslim entrepreneurs. Ultimately, O'Sullivan shows that the Islamic finance industry's commitment to interest-free banking was a product of contingency as much as principle. It was a combination of bank failures, high rates of indebtedness, and changing religious interpretations that eventually led many Muslims to reject interest banking and demand a replacement more commensurate with an "Islamic economy." Even so, the religious debates inaugurated by the first Muslim interest banks persist to this day. A vibrant portrait of economic life in the so-called peripheries of capital, The Borrower's Refuge is a major contribution to the global history of finance.

Handbuch der KI-basierten Mediendisruption

This book explores how organisations can thrive amid new ways of working, sustainability pressures, evolving employee expectations, and the growing need for continuous learning. Placing people at the heart of transformation, it examines positive, sustainable, hybrid, and learning-oriented organisations and shows how new roles, competencies, and ways of working are reshaping workplaces and value creation.By combining contemporary research with rich empirical case studies from public and private organisations, the book connects organisational transformation to practice. It illustrates how leaders, HR professionals, managers, and employees can become active agents of change by rethinking roles, developing new competencies, and experimenting with more human-centred ways of organising. The book offers an engaging and practical perspective on building organisations that are more positive, sustainable, adaptable, and prepared for the future of work.&nbsp;Giovanna Afeltra

*A New York Times Notable Book * A Financial Times Best Book of the Year 'A learned, formidable and vivid story... Readers around the world will study and ponder this monumental work of history, agreeing and arguing with it, all the while affirming its generational importance, for decades to come' The New York Times 'Epic... Read this book and you will learn innumerable things you did not previously know culled from places you have never been' Financial Times A brilliant global narrative that unravels the defining story of the past thousand years No other phenomenon has shaped human history as decisively as capitalism. It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organise our politics. Sven Beckert situates the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework in this fascinating new book.Capitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from merchant communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, capitalism's radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. Then it burst onto the world scene, as European states and merchants built a powerful alliance that would propel them across the oceans. This epic drama corresponded at no point to an idealised dream of free markets. All along, state-backed institutions and imperial expansions shaped its dynamics.Capitalism decentres the European perspective, highlighting agency, resistance, innovation and ruthless coercion around the world through to the present with the rise of Asian economies, particularly China. Sven Beckert doesn't merely add up capitalism's debits and credits in this monumental book, but allows us to think afresh about the past to help us re-imagine the future.

A Global History

Capitalism

The Business of Freedom tells the story of Black enterprise through the lives of the people who built it. Some, like Booker T. Washington and Madam C. J. Walker, are familiar figures in the history of Black business. But many are lesser-known strivers whose ambitions briefly illuminated the possibilities of the age. From the hopeful dawn of emancipation to the bustle of Harlem, award-winning historian Shennette Garrett-Scott follows Black entrepreneurs who carved opportunity out of exclusion to build banks, grocery stores, cotton mills, and real estate empires. Their successes were real, but so were the limits imposed by segregation, unequal access to capital, and the violence that shadowed Black prosperity. The Business of Freedom reveals Black capitalism as a strategy for both individual and collective empowerment-and shows why free enterprise alone could never deliver the freedom its champions promised.

This book brings together the most significant uncollected writings of the renowned economic historian Peter Spufford (1934–2017). Spanning topics from medieval coinage and monetary policy to international trade and shifting financial centres, this volume showcases Spufford’s unique ability to integrate numismatics, economic history, and archival research across multiple languages and disciplines.The collection includes both previously published and unpublished studies, some of which were originally available only in German, French, or Italian. These papers reflect Spufford’s lifelong commitment to uncovering the complexities of medieval economies through rigorous analysis of primary sources, archaeological evidence, and pictorial materials. The volume makes accessible a wealth of scholarship that had remained scattered or difficult to obtain, offering new insights into the monetary and commercial systems of Europe from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. It will be a fascinating resource for historians of money, trade, and medieval Europe.Jan Lucassen
