ICH! Neue ungehaltene Reden ungehaltener Frauen

Why fear of risk is holding us back, and how we can reclaim the confidence to thrive in unpredictable timesSomething is out of sync in today's economy. People feel insecure and unable to reach their potential. We worry that the world has become too risky, that investing is only for the rich, that our nest egg might not last, that it's all or nothing. We retreat into lives of minimal uncertainty. Economist Allison Schrager argues that there has never been a better time to take risks, and yet we as a society have never been more risk-averse. She explains how the fears surrounding risk are unfounded-and that these myths are exactly why so many are falling behind. In the meantime, the very wealthy are still taking risks that generate outsized rewards and widen economic divides.Blending economic history and behavioral science, Schrager traces how our understanding and tolerance of risk have changed-how we have become less willing to open a business, start a family, or even drive a car. Along the way, she reveals the secrets of unconventional risk-takers, from a mob hit man to America's last frontiersman to a high-wire walker.In this reassuring book, Schrager explains how to assess uncertainty, make better choices, and reclaim the upside of risk, allowing each of us to contribute to a more dynamic economy-and to live a more fulfilling life.

The extraordinary testimony of a daring Caribbean writer-activist, determined to expose injustice and defend the dignity of migrant workers &nbsp; In the 1960s, hundreds of women traveled from French colonies in the West Indies to become domestic workers for white families in France. Lured by the French government with the false promise of economic opportunity, these women instead found themselves subjected to racial discrimination, deplorable living conditions, overwork, and no pay until they "earned back" the cost of the trip to France.After hearing the shocking stories of Caribbean domestic workers, Françoise Ega took a position as a cleaning woman in wealthy French homes in order to chronicle these abuses. Structured as a collection of unsent letters to the Brazilian writer Carolina Maria de Jesus, Notes to a Black Woman weaves the story of Ega's experiences in France with her memories of Martinique, her observations on the joys and tribulations of family life, and her reflections on the power of the written word to reveal the discomfiting truths behind the facade of bourgeois French society.Composed on her bus commutes and by candlelight at her kitchen table while her five children slept, Notes to a Black Woman is a piercing denunciation of the legacies of colonialism and slavery, a wholesale rejection of alienation, and an intimate archive of friendship, joy, solidarity, motherhood, and hope.

Verso World History

In Women, Resistance and Revolution, Sheila Rowbotham traces four centuries of feminist struggle and revolutionary politics. She reveals how women have confronted the dual challenges of an unjust state system and patriarchal social prejudice. First published in 1972, Women, Resistance and Revolution is a major statement of second-wave feminism on the need for revolution within the revolution. It is also a rich and expansive history of radical consciousness. Rowbotham charts the acceleration of feminist activity and theory after the French Revolution, despite the ambiguities of ‘liberty, equality, fraternity’ for women. She examines pivotal works such as Mary Wollstonecraft’s Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Flora Tristan’s Workers’ Union and Engels’s Origin of the Family, showing how women’s liberation became a live and often explosive issue in emerging socialist movements. Her narrative spans feminist currents in revolutionary Russia and China, exploring fascinating creative experiments during early Bolshevik rule, and extends to women’s roles in anti-colonial struggles in Algeria, Cuba and Vietnam. This classic work remains as urgent, vivid and inspiring as ever.

How access is replacing ownership--and changing who we are."You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy. Whatever you want you'll rent." That was the World Economic Forum's number one prediction for 2030, made back in 2016. The timing might be slightly off, but it's undeniably true that ownership is on a significant decline and is creating a tectonic shift from a society of owners to a society of users, renters, and streamers.As a result, we're trading ownership for access, purchases for subscriptions, and possessions for the rights to cloud-stored digital copies. Homeowners are giving way to forever renters, and some have even embraced the life of a digital nomad.This shift is more than just an economic one; it's a profound challenge to centuries of using ownership to form our identity. In fundamental, human ways, we are what we own. So what are we if we don't own much?In Possessions, Carey Morewedge, a leading researcher and powerful voice in behavioral science, marketing, and consumer behavior, leads us on a journey to answer that question. He takes us on a fascinating tour of the rapidly shifting landscape, from a life of creating ownership--possessing things--to a life of "liquid consumption"--life-as-a-service, in which all you possess are your experiences and your brand (and probably a phone). From Delaware goat farms to Australian housing tracts to a Quebec City ice hotel; from an artist in London to a former economist who lived for a time with only his devices and what he could carry on his back, you'll visit places and meet people that show just how complicated and compelling the idea of ownership is, why you value your things so much, and what happens when you can't (or decide not to) own something.As the economy continues to shift toward a reality closer to the World Economic Forum's prediction for 2030, Possessions will help you understand that shift and what it means to all of us--when we own less and use more.

The Science (and Art) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections

Come Together

From generational icon Brooke Shields comes an intimate and empowering exploration of ageing that flips the script on the idea of what it means for a woman to grow older. Brooke Shields has spent a lifetime in the public eye. Growing up as a child actor and model, her every feature was scrutinised, her every decision judged. Now Brooke is facing a different kind of scrutiny: that of being a 'woman of a certain age'. And yet, for Brooke, the passage of time has brought freedom. At fifty-nine, she feels more comfortable in her skin, more empowered and confident than she did decades ago in those famous Calvin Kleins. In Brooke Shields is Not Allowed to Get Old, she's changing the narrative about women and ageing. This is an era, insists Brooke, when women are reclaiming agency and power, not receding into the shadows. These are the years when we get to decide how we want to live - when we get to write our own stories. With remarkable candour, Brooke bares all, painting a vibrant and optimistic picture of being a woman in the prime of her life, while dismantling the myths that have, for too long, dimmed that perception. By turns inspiring, moving, and galvanising, Brooke's honesty and vulnerability will resonate with women everywhere and spark a new conversation about the power and promise of midlife.

The Anti-Inflammatory 30-Day Reset

Why does gender inequality persist in tech-even in workplaces that invest in fixing it? In Networking to Nowhere, sociologist Ethel Mickey uncovers the paradox at the heart of modern tech culture: Networking is hailed as the key to opportunity, yet it systematically works against women. Drawing on ethnographic research inside a top tech firm, Mickey reveals how "ideal" networking practices like informal referrals, after-hours schmoozing, and bro-bonding over sports reinforce old boys' clubs that exclude women and people of color. Women, encouraged to lean into formal events, conferences, and diversity programs, often find these efforts go unrewarded, networking them to nowhere. By exposing how gendered expectations, invisible cultural codes, and even well-meaning corporate DEI programs can deepen inequality, this book offers a powerful new framework for understanding gender and organizations in the contemporary economy-and what it will take to chart a new path forward.

How Gender Inequality Persists in Tech

Networking to Nowhere

Named one of Financial Times’s Best Books of 2025, that bestselling author Tim Hartford called "fun" and "nerdy in the best way" Nobel Prize winner Richard H. Thaler and rising star economist Alex O. Imas explore the past, present, and cutting-edge future in behavioral economics in The Winner’s Curse. Why do people cooperate with one another when they have no obvious motivation to do so? Why do we hold on to possessions of little value? And why is the winner of an auction so often disappointed? Over thirty years ago, Richard H. Thaler introduced readers to behavioral economics in his seminal Anomalies column, written with collaborators including Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. These provocative articles challenged the fundamental idea at the heart of economics that people are selfish, rational optimizers, and provided the foundation for what became behavioral economics. That was then. Now, three decades later, Thaler has teamed up with economist Alex O. Imas to write a new book with an original and creative format. Each chapter starts with an original Anomaly, retaining the spirit of its time stamp. Then, shifting to the present, the authors provide updates to each, asking how the original findings have held up and how the field has evolved since then. It turns out that the original findings not only hold up well, but they show up almost everywhere. Anomalies pop up in people’s decisions to save for retirement and how they carry outstanding credit card debt. Even experts fail to optimize. The key concept of loss aversion explains missed putts by PGA pros and the selection of which stocks to sell by portfolio managers. In this era of meme stocks and Dogecoin, it is hard to defend the view that financial markets are highly efficient. The good news, however, is that the anomalies have gotten funnier. With both readability and rigor, The Winner’s Curse is for anyone, from those with a cursory understanding of economics to fellow economists. Each chapter provides a key insight into human behavior so readers learn how to better understand the choices made by their friends, colleagues, and customers, and they might just become better at making decisions themselves. Only recommended for humans.
