The End of a Fair Price

What if the greatest threat to America isn't a missile but a strategy?

Written by a team of real researchers and strategic advisors, this 367-page book offers a comprehensive, human-curated account of China's rise and what it means for America's future.
 
With 23 insightful chapters and nearly 500 citations, including congressional reports, this book offers a sweeping, well-researched account of China-U.S. relations, connecting pivotal historical moments to today's most pressing challenges. China's rise isn't accidental-it's a calculated, long-term plan to shift global power while America bears the cost.
 
In this urgent exposé, eye-opening book, the authors reveal how the Chinese Communist Party is using trade policy, tech theft, and geopolitical strategy to undermine U.S. leadership, fuel a semiconductor war, and tilt the global economy in its favor. Whether you're worried about where your medicines are made, why your industry is shrinking, or what China's next move might be, this book delivers a clear, no-spin account of the mounting crisis between the world's two superpowers.

Key Topics Explored in China's Secret Strategy:China's economic history from the Qing dynasty to the present
US-China relations and the digital Cold War
Economic warfare and national security strategy
The global chip war and China's semiconductor ambitions
Belt and Road Initiative's hidden geopolitical goals
Trade war consequences for U.S. workers and industries
Human rights and global reactions
Food and drug safety risks from U.S.-China trade



Why This Book Matters:
Packed with investigative insights and clear analysis, China's Secret Strategy goes beyond headlines to expose the long-game tactics Beijing uses to gain influence across the globe-often at&amp;

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.

Critical University Studies

How the cult of capitalism reshaped the American university--and hollowed it out from within.Over the past several decades, American universities have been remade as engines of entrepreneurial ambition. Technology transfer offices, business incubators, pitch competitions, innovation hubs, and leadership centers now sit at the heart of campus life, radically altering how institutions describe their purpose, structure curricula, and imagine student success. The Start-Up Factory argues that this shift has come at a steep cost.James Rushing Daniel traces the rise of entrepreneurialism in higher education and shows how universities came to embrace the figure of the founder as both ideal and benefactor. Business leaders--many of them major donors--are celebrated as singular visionaries, their values imported into academic life and framed as models for intellectual work. This reverence, Daniel argues, has narrowed the university's sense of public responsibility for distorted academics, and transformed institutions into finishing schools for aspiring entrepreneurs. Moving across policy and historical documents, institutional rhetoric, teaching materials, site visits, and interviews, The Start-Up Factory documents how entrepreneurial thinking has reshaped the pedagogy, culture, and mission of the American university.The consequences of this entrepreneurial focus extend far beyond campuses. By promoting the myth of the self-made billionaire, universities help legitimize extreme inequality and normalize forms of power that undermine democratic life. At a moment of deep institutional crisis, when the influence of the billionaire class on college campuses is increasingly absolute and the future of higher education is uncertain, The Start-Up Factory offers a clear-eyed account of how universities arrived here--and why reclaiming their autonomy has become an urgent task.

World Scientific Lecture Notes In Economics And Policy

This book attempts to understand the operation and properties of 'market economies'. We do this by carefully examining, refining and in some cases extending the major theorems that Microeconomics has established in response to the Walrasian conjecture. We critically evaluate theorems and results, that assert the existence, uniqueness, stability, optimality and empirical relevance of Walrasian equilibrium states. As a result of our work, we attempt to comment on the wisdom of recommending that socio-economic systems operate as a collection of deregulated competitive markets.

Lectures In General Equilibrium Microeconomics

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.

The Risks of Global Depopulation and the Case for People

After the Spike

Welcome to Faith &amp; Business: A 52-Week Devotional for Christian Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders.This devotional was born out of a simple but powerful truth: Your business is your ministry!Whether you're building a brand from scratch, managing a thriving company, freelancing, or leading a team, you are not just a business person - you are a Kingdom representative in the marketplace. You carry the light of Christ into boardrooms, coffee shops, contracts, spreadsheets, and customer service conversations. You are part of God's plan to transform culture, serve others, and create meaningful value-all through the work of your hands.Yet this calling is not easy. Business can be lonely, risky, overwhelming, and often deeply personal. It's a world where faith is tested in practical ways: in late payments, employee tensions, quiet seasons, tough decisions, and the constant pressure to perform. That's why this devotional exists-to serve as a weekly anchor, helping you reconnect your business life with your spiritual life, so the two become one seamless expression of who you are in Christ.God cares deeply about your work. Scripture is filled with builders, stewards, entrepreneurs, and marketplace leaders-from Abraham and Lydia to Nehemiah and the Proverbs 31 woman. These weren't just Sunday saints; they were everyday workers who honored God through faith-filled leadership, generosity, diligence, and trust. In the same way, you've been called to build, lead, serve, and create-on purpose and for a purpose.

Faith & Business

This short book is intended to be an easy to read reference to a person that is just learning about artificial intelligence and AI Agents It is definitely not for people that know about the subject. The book is not perfect, because who knows where to stop and start in this complicated arena.
There are many people who believe that intelligence is a subject that is related to human being and not to machines. Calling it artificial is not enough. At the Dartmouth conference in 1956, Simon and Newell suggested "Complex Information Processing." Perhaps, that could have been a better name for a new specialist discipline.
There are many books already published on artificial intelligence, and for the most part, they are very good. My guess is that there are about 500 of them, and there is not a bad one in the bunch. The really good books, for the specialist, are hard to read for people not in the field of artificial intelligence. What about the poor joe that just wants to find out what going on and wants to keep his or her job. What about the executive that just wants to make sure his charge is heading in the right direction. What about the person that wants to buy a gift for someone that might want to know about artificial intelligence but is afraid to ask. This book is for you.
This was a difficult book to write because we are at a difficult time in its development. Many thanks to Janice, Kathryn, Karen, and grand kids Sara, Daniel, Leah, Matt, Katie, and Tom for their assistance and kindness.

Agentic Artificial Intelligence with Applications

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.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. 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 thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. 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 with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Pornography Business

Selected pieces on nature, history, politics, and urban culture from a master of the nonfiction narrative. Writing on subjects as diverse as the megafires that burned the grasslands of the Great Plains in 2018, the tragic secret life of the manufacturer of maraschino cherries, the world's largest beaver dam, and the invasive Burmese pythons of the Florida Everglades, Ian Frazier captures the multiplicity, the strangeness, and the wonder of contemporary life. This collection of pieces-consisting of features and reportage for The New Yorker and other magazines beginning in 1974, alongside work published as recently as 2024-showcases the wide-ranging play of Frazier's imagination. Astute and engaged, he is the supreme chronicler of the everyday, and a unique social and political anthropologist. More than fifty years of keen observation and avid curiosity come together in The Snakes That Ate Florida: wry, humane, and endlessly surprising, this volume once again confirms Frazier as one of the finest (and most delightful) essayists writing today.
