The 'fresh start' that is afforded individual debtors through the discharge doctrines of American bankruptcy law has, to date, defied justification by a single normative principle or theoretical paradigm. The justificatory accounts that have been advanced either fail to explain core doctrines that have long defined the right of discharge or invite theoretical challenges that suggest that their descriptive virtues are swamped by their normative or conceptual shortcomings. This book presents a taxonomy of traditional justifications of bankruptcy and subjects them to critical evaluation. It then seeks to offer a new justification of bankruptcy's 'fresh start' doctrines-one that takes its inspiration from a quite different moral tradition than those that have informed past efforts to justify and explain our enduring societal willingness to release people from onerous financial obligations. The book argues that personal debt relief is fully vindicated not by a utilitarian theory, nor by a distributive justice theory, nor by a retributive theory, nor by any other rights- or duties-based theory that is preoccupied with moral claims that particular creditors or debtors might proffer. Rather, the long-standing institution of discharge in bankruptcy is best explained by an aretaic, or virtue-based, theory that concerns itself with the obligations that the rest of us have to be charitable towards those who are unable to repay their debts. The fresh start that bankruptcy gives to those who have been shackled by overwhelming debt is justified not by its effects on creditors, debtors, or future market actors, but by its satisfaction of the demands of individual charity to which all citizens are subject. Bankruptcy's discharge of the debts of those who have become financially desperate is best thought to be an institution that aggregates others' demands of good character so as to permit citizens for whom debt-forgiveness is a personal virtue to live in a society that fulfils that virtue.

Why should debtors who default on their obligations be forgiven? Focusing on this central question at the heart of bankruptcy, this book challenges the theoretical foundations of insolvency law, exploring the economic and moral rationales for the law's decision to wipe the slate clean.

The Virtue of Bankruptcy

Debts and the Demands of Conscience

In the sultry heart of 1920s Mexico, a spiritual awakening journey intertwines with the fervour of political revolution themes. This historical fiction novel, a cornerstone of modernist literature, plunges readers into a world where the echoes of ancient gods clash with the burgeoning identity of a post-revolutionary nation. Once out of print for decades, this masterpiece is now republished by Alpha Editions, meticulously restored for today's and future generations. 

As the narrative unfolds, it invites literary enthusiasts and mature readers alike to explore the depths of cultural identity exploration. The story's vivid tapestry is rich with the kind of profound introspection found in the works of Joseph Conrad and Aldous Huxley, offering a timeless reflection on the human condition. The 1920s Mexico setting serves not only as a backdrop but as a living, breathing entity that shapes and is shaped by the characters' quests for meaning and belonging.

This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, ensuring that its literary and historical significance endures. A classic literature gem, it resonates with the complexities and contradictions of its time, making it as relevant today as it was when first penned. Engage with a narrative that bridges the past and present, offering insights that continue to captivate and challenge.

The Plumed Serpent

Sustainable business is no longer optional--it's the strategy that will determine who leads and who gets left behind.Climate change is not just a future threat--it's a current reality, reshaping markets, supply chains, and entire industries. Rising temperatures, resource scarcity, and mounting waste are driving regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny, and consumer demand for sustainable practices. For business leaders, this isn't just an operational challenge--it's a strategic disruption. Companies that fail to adapt risk being swept aside by forces they can no longer ignore.In The Ultimate Disruption: Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change, INSEAD professors Atalay Atasu and Luk Van Wassenhove provide an essential road map for thriving in this new era. Drawing on decades of research and real-world case studies, they show why sustainability must be treated as a core business imperative, not a compliance exercise or marketing slogan. The authors introduce a framework for rethinking strategy, redefining value propositions, and reinventing business models to integrate environmental value alongside customer utility and profit.Through compelling examples--from Polygreen's zero-waste transformation on a Greek island to Schneider Electric's global decarbonization initiatives--the book illustrates how companies are turning environmental constraints into opportunities for innovation and growth. Each chapter tackles critical steps: building the business case for sustainability; revisiting value potential; overcoming operational and scaling challenges; and leveraging partnerships, tech, and new business models to deliver shared value and profitability.Sustainability is no longer a cost--it's a competitive advantage. The Ultimate Disruption equips leaders with the strategies and tools to navigate the climate-driven transformation of business ecosystems and emerge stronger than ever.

Deutschland war lange Zeit ein Flickenteppich aus Königreichen, Herzog- und Fürstentümern. Mit Eisen und Blut gestaltete Otto von Bismarck Geschichte. Mit Machtpolitik und gezielten Kriegen, aber auch durch Diplomatie schmiedete er aus vielen deutschen Staaten 1871 ein Reich und legte das Fundament der deutschen Einheit. Innenpolitisch regierte er mit Zuckerbrot und Peitsche, führte Kulturkämpfe, Sozialistengesetze, aber auch erstmals Versicherungen ein. Dieses Buch zeigt verständlich und pointiert, wie Bismarcks Strategie zur deutschen Einheit führte und warum seine Politik bis heute nachwirkt. Ein kompakter Blick auf den Mann aus der Altmark, der Deutschland einte, nicht durch Worte, sondern durch machtvolle Taten. Verständlich geschrieben und spannend erzählt macht das Buch deutlich, warum die Einigung Deutschlands kein Zufall war und welche Bedeutung sie für die Geschichte Europas hatte und heute noch hat. Eine informative Lektüre für alle, die verstehen wollen, wie aus vielen Einzelstaaten ein Reich wurde und welche Rolle Otto von Bismarck dabei spielte.

Your Individual Empire

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the twenty-first century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.

'A must-read account from a heroic reporter who has taken on the world's most dangerous tech company' - Chris Miller, award-winning author of Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology 'Engaging . . . this excellent book lays out the damage of letting arbitrary political power intervene in business' - Financial Times It's on your phone. It's on your children's phones. It's on more than a billion screens across the planet, serving up joy, creativity and connection. But behind the slick feed of the world's most addictive app lies ruthless ambition and a global war for control. This is the dramatic, untold story of TikTok. Charting its rise from obscurity into the world's most valuable startup, Emily Baker-White reveals how TikTok's visionary founder, ByteDance CEO Zhang Yiming, reshaped the global internet from a place where you searched for information to one where information comes to you. Billions of users were soon hooked by the most effective recommendation algorithm in the world. But there was a cost to such success. Soon, TikTok was embroiled in accusations of surveillance, censorship and user manipulation, attracting controversy from India and Europe to the US. After Baker-White - a Harvard-trained lawyer and investigative reporter - revealed that Chinese engineers could access Americans' private information, a team of ByteDance employees even used the app to track her location. Based on unprecedented access to internal documents, leaked recordings and accounts from whistle-blowers inside the company, Every Screen on the Planet reveals how TikTok became trapped between two superpowers, desperate to survive. It is the story of how your attention became the world's moннннst valuable - and dangerous - commodity. 'Revealing. A story about power, control and the hidden battles shaping what we see online' - Parmy Olson, bestselling author of Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT and the Race That Will Change the World

WEGE ZU EINER FRIEDLICHEN WELTORDUNG - NICOLE DEITELHOFFS GLÄNZENDE ANALYSE 
 
 Der russische Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine ist ein schwerer Schlag für alle Anhänger des Völkerrechts und einer regelbasierten internationalen Ordnung. Gleichzeitig steuern die Großmächte USA und China im Indopazifik auf einen neuen bewaffneten Konflikt zu. Wie kommen wir aus dieser brandgefährlichen Lage langfristig wieder heraus? Höchste Zeit, über neue Formen friedlicher Koexistenz in einer entgrenzten Welt nachzudenken. 
 
 Wie könnte eine Welt "nach dem Krieg" realistischerweise aussehen? Wie lassen sich Staaten mit entgegengesetzten Werten und Interessen, wie lassen sich Demokratien und Autokratien in eine internationale Ordnung integrieren, ohne rücksichtslos nach dem Recht des Stärkeren zu verfahren? Die renommierte Friedens- und Konfliktforscherin Nicole Deitelhoff schlägt in ihrem Debattenbuch einen Bogen von der Geburt der internationalen Ordnung aus der Asche zweier Weltkriege über das Ende der bipolaren Welt bis zur Polykrise der Gegenwart. Ihre kontroverse These lautet: Ein internationaler Flächenbrand kann in der entgrenzten Welt des 21. Jahrhunderts künftig nur verhindert werden, wenn potenzielle Konfliktparteien ihre wirtschaftlichen, aber auch kulturellen und politischen Verflechtungen behutsam ab- und umbauen. Im äußersten Ring sind es schließlich nur noch territoriale Integrität, internationale Souveränität und der Ausschluss von Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit, die Deitelhoffs Ordnungsmodell definieren.
