Saunders A: Loose Leaf for Financial
Institutions Management: 2026 Release

Loose Leaf for Financial Institutions Management: 2026 Release

In 1977, The Economist coined the term "Dutch disease" to describe the damage to the real economy when wealth derives from resource exports rather than productive work. On April 1, 1978, the Second Amendment to the IMF's Articles of Agreement came into force, ending gold's monetary role within the IMF system and consolidating the transition to pure fiat money. With "money" no longer backed by anything real, the alchemists' dream of a "Philosopher's Stone"--the ability to create seemingly limitless wealth out of nothing--appeared to have been realized. But while real wealth produced by human labor is finite, fiat money creation is not subject to the same physical constraint. The result was a new and far more powerful variant of Dutch disease: the Philosopher's Stone Disease. The Money Powers' financialization of economies and imposition of neoliberalism increasingly privileged finance over production. Over the next four decades, the consequences extended beyond economics, eroding the cultural and civilizational heritage and traditions of large swaths of the global population. The socioeconomic impact of this pure fiat-money regime, globally and within the United States, has been an across-the-board deterioration, while its benefits accrued overwhelmingly to less than 0.01 percent of the population. Yet creating money cannot create the real goods it commands. The system therefore depends upon a steady external supply of real goods and the recycling of part of the resulting surpluses into U.S. financial assets. Energy revenues from West Asia have been key to sustaining it. A resurgent Iran thus posed an existential threat to the UK-established and U.S.-dominated oil order. Sanctions, assassinations, proxy wars, color revolutions, terrorist attacks and mass psychological manipulation followed, but failed to achieve their objective. If Iran emerges victorious from the war launched against it in 2026 and breaks U.S. control over the oil-rich Levant, the petrodollar recycling system will suffer a massive blow, accelerating withdrawal from U.S. Treasuries. The dilemma is stark: financial dominance ultimately requires real power to enforce it, while the Philosopher's Stone Disease has hollowed out the productive and military foundations of that power. Why the West Can't Recover: The Philosopher's Stone Disease explains why there may be no way back.

The Philosopoher's Stone Disease

Why the West Can't Recover

Every year, American organizations spend $365 billion on workplace conflict. Most of it is completely preventable. The typical organization treats conflict like a building fire — wait until something's burning, then scramble to put it out. The result is lost productivity, damaged relationships, legal exposure, leadership burnout, and a revolving door of talent that never seems to stop spinning.There's a better way.In Conflict-Ready, the experts at the High Conflict Institute — who have trained thousands of leaders across corporations, small businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits — reveal why reactive conflict management is a losing game, and what it looks like to build an organization that's prepared before the first spark flies.This isn't about eliminating conflict. It's about baking a smarter, more proactive approach directly into your culture, your systems, and your leadership — so that when high conflict personalities, charged situations, and difficult dynamics inevitably show up, your organization knows exactly what to do.You'll learn how to recognize the patterns that escalate conflict before they explode, develop the organizational habits and structures that defuse tension early, equip your managers and HR teams with the skills of the most conflict-competent leaders, and shift your entire organization from firefighting mode to conflict-ready.The organizations winning today aren't the ones that avoid conflict. They're the ones that are ready for it.

Great leaders aren't shaped by a title. They're shaped by a moment. A moment that changes not just what they do, but how they lead. This is THE UNLOCK MOMENT. Drawing on his own leadership journey, executive coach and podcast host Dr. Gary Crotaz explores the inner shift that separates outward success from truly grounded leadership. Interweaving stories from CEOs, entrepreneurs, athletes, and the many thinkers he has coached, Gary offers a clear, human framework for recognizing the moments that make us who we are. At the heart of The Unlock Moment: The Inner Shift That Changes How You Lead are five essential Keys--Self, Trust, Presence, Growth, and Impact--that shape how real innovators think, decide, and lead when it matters most. By cutting through the ambiguity to make decisions with conviction, you will find your leadership aplomb and learn to lead in a way that is authentic, not performative. This is not a book about getting people to follow you. It's a book about becoming the kind of leader people choose to follow . . . and the moments that unlock how you lead.

The Unlock Moment: The Inner Shift That Changes How You Lead

Leadership with Goodness at Its Core

Are digital technologies really a silver bullet for development in the Global South?


Digital technologies are supposed to solve the challenges of climate change, projected population growth, land conflicts and food insecurity, especially in rural areas. Yet NGOs, government institutions, and private companies are increasingly adopting a trial-and-error approach as they recognize the limitations of transferring Western science and technologies to the global South.
 
This book presents the ambivalent practices and implications of digital pilot projects which aim to 'develop' both farming communities and locally adapted innovations in East Africa. Inspired by laboratory ethnographies in Science and Technology Studies, it explores the practices of testing and developing digital technologies in rural Tanzania. The multi-sited ethnography, which takes in agricultural fairs, conferences, documents, online courses, tech hubs, project offices, villages and fields, centres on three case studies, namely DAST (a digital land-formalisation tool), STAS (an AI system for agricultural productivity) and iPlus (an e-extension tool). Rather than viewing these technologies simply as welcome tools to promote connectivity, empowerment and increased production - as commonly advanced in development policy - this book foregrounds the (un)intended consequences of the planning, set-up, maintenance and results of digital pilot projects. Against the backdrop of conflicting logics between testing technologies and developing Tanzanian agriculture through them, this book considers their (un)predictable impacts on new actors, the character of development and the trial communities in rural Tanzania.

Experimental Rural Development in the Global South

Too many leaders are burning out--and taking their teams with them. Despite good intentions, many organizations still push harder, demand more, and equate long hours with high performance. The result? Talented people walk away from work they once loved, while leaders feel stuck between delivering results at any cost or failing altogether. Longevity Leadership challenges that paradigm. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral science, and years of experience in organizational change, Jessica Billiet offers a new model for leadership--one that recognizes performance and well-being are not in conflict but deeply connected. When leaders understand how the brain responds to stress, motivation, and habit, they can create environments where people are energized, innovative, and resilient--without sacrificing results. This book explores the small, often overlooked choices leaders make every day: how they respond to pressure, how they communicate during uncertainty, and how they shape team habits and rhythms. Readers will learn practical, science-backed strategies for reducing burnout, leading through resistance, and building sustainable performance across their teams and organizations. At its core, Longevity Leadership is a call for systemic change. It's about equipping leaders at every level with tools to achieve results without destroying the people who deliver them. Inspiring and deeply practical, this book shows that when leaders honor both performance and mental health, everyone wins.

Longevity Leadership: Building Sustainable Performance Through Science-Backed Strategies

Across clinics, classrooms, city halls, and financial systems, women continue doing the uncredited work of governing AI: deciding when systems can be trusted, paused, refused, and repaired. Governing the Default names this work as relational governance, demonstrating how leaders can turn critique of AI's extractive norms into operational practice. Bringing together industry and academic contributors, the volume reframes organizational care as governance designed into decision rights, feedback loops, oversight, and repair. Its copy-ready practices help leaders, educators, and policymakers replace opaque defaults with consent-first, benefit-sharing, repair-ready systems.

What counts as 'good' work under contemporary Western capitalism? As the traditional promise of identity and status by middle-class occupations becomes increasingly difficult to sustain, many workers turn to manual work in search of meaning. The book argues that this represents a mechanism of middle-class reproduction, through which working-class practices and aesthetics are selectively appropriated and transformed by middle-class workers. To describe this transformation, it introduces the concept of gentrified labour, which captures how manual occupations are culturally 'resignified' and workers negotiate tensions between autonomy, recognition and economic insecurity in the pursuit of meaningful work.

Your Playbook for Designing a Winning Workplace Culture
Most organizations are losing the talent engagement game, and many don’t even know they’re playing it. Gallup’s 2026 State of the Global Workplace shows that only 1 in 5 employees are engaged at work. Game of Engagement offers a fresh solution to what leaders consistently identify as a critical challenge: how to create a workplace culture that sustains employee commitment, energy, motivation, and performance over the long term. Blair Bloomston’s unexpected solution is designing your workplace culture so that everyone wins.
Bloomston’s strategic LIFT Framework is a practical approach to developing a workplace culture in which employee engagement thrives. Inspired by principles of game design, the framework helps leaders intentionally shape four key elements that influence how people think, feel, connect, and contribute at work:
<ul>
<li>Language defines what your culture stands for and whether people believe it.</li>
<li>Influence shapes what work feels like, from outer incentives to inner motivation.</li>
<li>Fellowship determines whether people see each other as teammates or opponents.</li>
<li>Traction takes repeatable actions and transforms them from simple engagement into lasting results.</li>
</ul>
Bloomston draws on vivid, high-stakes stories from her work with world-class sports teams, government organizations, the military, and elite global corporations, demonstrating how the game of engagement plays out in every type of workplace to drive motivation, buy-in, and results.
Your workplace culture already operates like a game of engagement. Become the leader who designs a game people want to play to win.

Don't just design training. Design behavior change that lasts.

Your training program got good evaluations, and learners left feeling satisfied. But within weeks you discover that none of their behavior changed, and managers are asking why. Your training seemed to work in the moment, but performance outcomes aren’t where you want them to be.

With a practical, ADDIE-inspired approach, Designing Training That Sticks tackles a persistent gap most facilitators and instructional designers face every day—the gap between training and real-world performance outcomes. Author Michael L. Dorsey guides instructional designers through his Afterburn Framework—aligning learning objectives, delivery methods, and reinforcement strategies to achieve real, measurable outcomes. Real-world case studies demonstrate how to make his innovative framework actionable.

Dorsey shows you how to:
<ul>
<li>Use reinforcement tools such as job aids, indexed videos, and microlearning.</li>
<li>Build accountability structures such as learning partners and manager check-ins.</li>
<li>Choose intentional environmental design that actively supports key behaviors.</li>
<li>Engage highly motivated supervisors who care about sustained behavior change.</li>
</ul>

Your organization isn’t necessarily failing at training. But it’s probably failing to design training with the future in mind. If you’re ready to do something about that, Designing Training That Sticks is the place to start.
