The Most Audacious Cons and Scams in History

Comprehensive analysis of global wine regulations across history, geography, and discipline.Wine has been at the heart of human civilization for thousands of years, and for centuries governments around the world have regulated wine production, consumption, and trade for reasons ranging from consumer protection and quality assurance to tax revenue and the protection of vineyard owners' rents. The European Union alone has introduced more than two thousand wine regulations. Some of today's regulations date back hundreds of years; others are more recent; and there is considerable variation over time.The rich history of wine regulation offers fascinating insights into the political economy of public policy and the ways in which such policies persist and evolve. This book examines specific historical developments involving wines that are well known today, such as Champagne, Port, Chianti, and Burgundy. Drawing on original historical sources and multilingual archival research, it provides the first comprehensive analysis of global wine regulations from an integrated political, economic, and historical perspective.It will appeal to a wide range of readers, including academics and students across disciplines, and anyone interested in wine and wine markets around the world.

Evidence over Ideology: Thomas Sowell's Intellectual LegacyEconomist and social theorist Thomas Sowell has shaped how millions think about markets, culture, and public policy through bestselling books, syndicated columns, and viral videos that have reached new generations.This collection brings together leading scholars--Steven Pinker, Condoleezza Rice, Niall Ferguson, John H. Cochrane, Glenn C. Loury, Roland G. Fryer Jr., and others--to honor Sowell's extraordinary career spanning six decades and more than 40 books.These essays don't just celebrate--they extend and challenge Sowell's ideas with fresh research and contemporary analysis, applying his core insights to today's most pressing questions: <ul><li>Culture and Economics: Glenn C. Loury and Roland G. Fryer Jr. explore how cultural forces shape economic outcomes, testing Sowell's claims about the relationships between norms, institutions, and inequality.</li><li>Migration and Ethnicity: Nancy Qian follows Sowell's tracks to analyze how immigrant communities develop economically, examining cultural transmission across generations.</li><li>Developing Economies: Paola Sapienza applies Sowell's framework to contemporary challenges in Vietnam and other developing nations, examining state-owned enterprises, industrial policy, and the knowledge problem in centralized planning.</li><li>Education and Human Development: Eric A. Hanushek and Margaret E. Raymond apply Sowell's framework to debates about school choice, charter schools, and what drives student achievement.</li><li>Knowledge and Public Policy: Steven Pinker and others examine the limits of expertise and how incentive structures shape decision-making in government and institutions.</li><li>Late-Talking Children: Stephen Camarata examines how Sowell challenged medical orthodoxy through personal research on bright children who talk late, questioning expert consensus even beyond economics.</li></ul>Sowell has made an impact by following evidence wherever it leads--regardless of inconvenient truths. This volume shows why his analytical approach remains essential to policy professionals, scholars, and anyone questioning conventional wisdom about inequality, education, and government intervention.

Economization

Late medieval Bruges was a commercial hub that connected Hanseatic, English, Scottish, Portuguese, Spanish, Aragonese, and Italian traders. This book focuses on the conflict resolution of the aldermen and how merchants operated within this legal framework. The key question being whether Bruges was a city of justice. Although this was sometimes claimed by travellers, a lot of merchants confronted with the practicalities of conflict resolution in Bruges, disagreed. Fieremans analyses how customary law, institutional frameworks, and commerce intersected and were challenged by the aldermen's pursuit of justice. By clarifying the working of the aldermen, it advances our knowledge of the basic mechanisms of a late medieval law court and the evolution of the law courts of late medieval Flanders. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book focuses on the interplay between commerce and justice, explores the diverse merchant communities, and considers the potential lessons it offers for understanding both historical and modern markets. It sheds light on the pragmatic legal culture of Bruges and the legal mechanisms that partially regulate commerce.

The Instant New York Times bestseller 'Masterful' - Adam Grant 'So interesting' - Pandora Sykes 'Wonderful' - Angela Duckworth An essential read to become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Range. We are constantly told to 'keep our options open' and 'think outside the box' - but what if endless freedom is exactly the problem? Drowning in a dizzying excess of choice often leads to dread, anxiety, and burnout. In Inside the Box, award-winning author David Epstein reveals a powerful truth: to thrive, you don't need more freedom. You need to build your own box. From navigating an uncertain future to building a life, intentional boundaries breed brilliance: <ul><li>Relationships: Couples who consciously commit are more satisfied than those who simply 'keep their options open'.</li><li>Artificial Intelligence: A lack of advanced microchips forced engineers at DeepSeek into brilliant workarounds, producing a model to rival ChatGPT.</li><li>Business: General Magic - a tech startup with limitless funding - failed spectacularly because they refused to set internal limits.</li><li>Science: The periodic table wasn't born from boundless genius, but the strict demands of a textbook deadline.</li><li>Music: Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett produced the bestselling solo piano album of all time by adapting to a broken piano.</li></ul> Constraints are not obstacles - they are powerful tools we can wield. Weaving gripping storytelling with cognitive science, Inside the Box proves the secret to expanding your potential isn't chasing endless options. It's taking back control and choosing the right limits. 'David Epstein's first two books - The Sports Gene and Range - were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best . . . I won't think about my own work the same way ever again' - Malcolm Gladwell

Critical Interventions

Pedagogy and the Struggle for Democracy brings together a selection of Henry Giroux's most incisive essays, analysing neoliberal fascism, public pedagogy, cultural politics, empire, and the politics of disposability, offering both a powerful critique of authoritarianism and a compelling vision of democratic resistance.One of the leading theorists of critical pedagogy and cultural politics, Giroux argues that authoritarianism is rooted not only in political institutions but also in culture, where power operates through education, media, language, historical memory, and the production of common sense to shape consciousness and identity. Developing the concept of neoliberal fascism, he demonstrates how market fundamentalism, authoritarian governance, and cultural power have fused into a new historical formation. Against this politics of domination, Giroux advances critical pedagogy as an essential moral and political practice for cultivating critical thought, collective agency, and the democratic capacities necessary to challenge authoritarianism and transform society.Essential reading for students and scholars of authoritarianism, fascism, neoliberalism, critical pedagogy, contemporary politics, education, cultural studies, political theory, and democracy, this book offers both an indispensable introduction to Giroux's thought and a timely resource for understanding, and resisting, the contemporary authoritarian turn.

Historical Perspectives on Modern Economics

The history of money and banking has undergone three major transformations: from commodity money (e.g. currency backed by gold), to fiat money (e.g. currency not backed by a commodity), and now toward intangible money (e.g. digital forms without any backing). While the shift from commodity to fiat money was momentous, the transition to intangible money has profound implications for banking, monetary policy, and financial stability. Intangible Money, Banking, and Information provides a comprehensive overview of these transformations from the perspective of both the history of economic thought and monetary economics. It shows how advances in information and communication technology have accelerated the transition to intangible money, reshaping how transactions are recorded and how monetary systems function. At the same time, it argues that rapid financial innovation and deregulation have dramatically expanded the scale and complexity of banking and markets-often with destabilizing consequences.

For fans of Doughnut Economics, The Trading Game and The Big Short, How to Tame Your Vampire Squid is an insightful and irreverent account of how our economic system got here, why it isn't working as it should - and how we could tame it. Meet the vampire squid: a powerful, ingenious creature with one unfortunate habit - it never knows when it has enough. For the past forty years, one idea has come to dominate the way we do business: maximize profit. The result is a system - our insatiable squid - programmed to keep extracting, expanding and chasing ever greater returns, even when the consequences work against the people it was meant to serve. But what if capitalism itself isn't the problem? What if the problem is what we've trained it to do? Drawing on a lifetime in business - from witnessing the transformation of Cadbury in the 1990s to building the much-loved food brand COOK and navigating the chaos of the 2008 financial crisis - James Perry tells the story of modern capitalism from the inside, combining colourful characters and eye-opening encounters to reveal how the pursuit of short-term financial gains came to dominate the way we do business. Along the way, he makes sense of the forces shaping our everyday lives, such as banking, private equity, inequality and the changing role of business. And he introduces us to the people already proving there is another way to do things. This isn't an argument for tearing capitalism down. Enterprise remains one of humanity's most powerful tools. The vampire squid is simply doing what we've taught it to do - which means we can teach it something different.

Routledge Revivals

Originally published in 1976, this penetrating analysis of British industry in the second half of the twentieth century discusses the lessons of failure and indicates the way back to success for British management. The author's experience in government and industry as a Cabinet Minister and Deputy President of the Confederation of British Industry reveals insights into high-level policy decisions and fundamental business truths. Hitherto unpublished ministerial directives and behind-the-scenes glimpses of historic meetings set the back-drop of authentic involvement against which policy mistakes are viewed and a recovery plan is projected. Suggestions are made for a more efficient working relationship between government and industry and comparisons made with industrial management and strategy in the EU.
