Diem J: POWER, SILICON, AND SAND

POWER, SILICON, AND SAND

Why the Gulf May Become the World's Next AI Compute Hub

The global market in money – housed in the offshore ‘shadow’ banking system – holds $217 trillion in financial assets and operates beyond the reach of any nation’s taxman. Asset managers, private equity firms, and pension and sovereign wealth funds scoop up the world’s savings for investment and manage them as they choose, unaccountable to politicians or the citizens who elect them. In this brilliant, accessible and incisive introduction to the murky world of glo­balized finance, Ann Pettifor links the activities of remote mobile financial markets to both the cost-of-living and climate crises. In an insane global casino, bankers are gambling with our future. When we foot the bill, no one but a few economists understands what has happened. The result is volatile, unpre­dictable and uncontrollable speculation in global commodities, pension, energy, and housing. Pettifor argues that societies and gov­ernments can take back control of the global financial system. We have done it before and can do it again. Indeed, it is imperative that we do so if we are to manage the twin threats of climate breakdown and biosphere collapse.

My Family’s Escape from Gaza and The Cost of Leadership

Under Fire

A devastating, meticulous account of the history of Israel's destruction of Gaza from an acclaimed architect and investigator'Urgent and essential' DAVID WENGROW 'Extraordinary' ILAN PAPPÉEyal Weizman is one of the world's leading experts on the relationship between violence, conflict and the environment, both built and natural. As director of the organisation Forensic Architecture, he and his team of interdisciplinary researchers document acts of state crimes and human rights violations around the world. Since 2023, the group has worked to produce evidence for the International Court of Justice's genocide case against Israel.In Ungrounding, Weizman draws on that research to bring us on an eye-opening journey across time and into the 'deep cartography' of the area extending from Gaza's subterranean tunnels through to its militarised topography, its unique soil, settlements and barriers. He catalogues, in unflinching and forensic detail, the Israeli campaigns of violence and displacement that have reshaped the region in an effort to make Gaza and its surrounding areas unliveable.Taking us through the broader geographic and historical context, from the Nakba in 1948 to the present day, Ungrounding establishes that architectural and territorial analysis is key to understanding the relationship between coloniser and colonised - and how Israel's actions after 7 October escalated into violence so extreme and so far-reaching as to, Weizman argues, meet the definition of genocide.Deeply informative and profoundly affecting in its scope and precision, and illustrated with dozens of original images, maps and diagrams, Ungrounding is an essential document of atrocity in our time.

The Architecture of Genocide

Ungrounding

As the tech billionaires dominate the headlines, this groundbreaking book reveals the overlooked yet formidable influence of multi-generational family wealth on the global economy. It provides essential insights into the largest wealth transfer in human history - as 2% of the global population inherits vast fortunes over the next 25 years - revealing how this tsunami of inherited capital will transform investment landscapes, industrial financing, and potentially undermine nation-state autonomy.Drawing from extensive research and industry expertise, David Molian charts the meteoric rise of ultra-wealthy dynasties whose collective impact rivals - and may outlast - Silicon Valley's tech titans. It charts the historical patterns behind industry-dominating family businesses and their evolution into business dynasties, and how the coming $30+ trillion wealth transfer will reshape global finance, investment, and economic development. In stagnating economic times, the search for growth and prosperity dominates government agendas throughout the world. The evidence suggests that family businesses outpace their peers. Through numerous case histories and industry analyses, this book explains why and how harnessing and supporting their success may be a critical part of regenerating national economies. It also explains the forces - chiefly the components of globalism - that have propelled family wealth in the eastern hemisphere in the last half-century.Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand where true economic power lies in the 21st century, the book is specifically of interest to professionals involved in family business, including private banks, family offices, family consultants, law firms, and large accountancy practices.

Judicial Systems of the World

The Israeli judiciary stands as one of the most respected institutions of the country's democratic system—yet also one of its most contested. Its structure, functions, and constitutional foundations shape debates on governance, rights, and the rule of law. This book offers a detailed analysis of the judiciary's historical development, its guiding legal principles, and the challenges it faces in a rapidly evolving legal and political landscape.

Tracing its historical development and the legal principles that underpin its operation, The Judicial System of Israel explores the constitutional and statutory framework that shapes judicial practice. It examines fundamental concepts such as due process and open justice, the jurisdiction of courts and tribunals, and the unique role of the Supreme Court. Readers will gain insight into the sources of law applied by the courts, the character of the legal profession, and the principles of legal culture and process.

Beyond its foundational analysis, the book explores the realities of judicial work, ethics, and discipline, while confronting the challenges posed by a rapidly changing world. From technological innovation to proposals for institutional reform, it considers what the future may hold for the judicial system of Israel. Offering fresh insights into these pressing issues, it is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in comparative law and democratic governance.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NEW STATESMAN, ATLANTIC AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A brilliant tale of greed, paranoia and hubris... a good place to start for anyone seeking to understand the current crisis' Financial Times 'If you want to understand the turmoil in Gaza, Syria and beyond, the Iranian Revolution of 1979 is a good place to start' The Times 'Excellent' Telegraph 'Exceptional' New York Times A spellbinding narrative history of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and its devastating consequences by the Sunday Times bestselling author of Lawrence in Arabia. Before the revolution, the Shah of Iran seemed invincible. The world watched in awe as he commanded a huge army and oversaw an economy awash with billions of dollars of oil revenues. The regime's secret police had crushed communist opposition and the Shah appeared to have bought off the conservative Muslim clergy inside the country. On the international stage, Iran had become an invaluable ally to the West during the Cold War. But village streets spoke of a different country - people derided the Shah as an American lackey and blamed him for economic inequality, for spending recklessly on lavish parties and for ignoring the Muslim majority. When a volcanic religious revolution erupted, led by a fiery cleric named Ayatollah Khomeini, the Shah was forced off the throne and into exile. How did it all go so wrong? Brilliantly brought to life by the Sunday Times bestselling author Scott Anderson, this gripping behind-the-scenes narrative reveals how the Iranian Revolution was as world-shattering an event as the French and Russian revolutions, and how its repercussions are still felt around the world today. In the Middle East, in India, in Southeast Asia, and now in Europe and the United States, the hatred of economically-marginalized, religiously-fervent masses for a wealthy secular elite has led to violence and upheaval - and Iran was the template. 'Gripping... Anderson does an excellent job of narrating the extraordinary events of the revolution' Spectator 'Told with clarity and directness. It is unlikely that a more authoritative account of this torrid period will ever be written' Observer 'A sweeping, gripping book, one that makes past times and dead people (often weird, complex and evil) spring to life with its narrative verve and attention to detail... Riveting... Compelling' Wall Street Journal 'Timely... a lively tale of palace intrigue' New Yorker 'The most compelling account yet of the revolution in Iran... Outstanding' Eugene Rogan, author of The Fall of the Ottomans 'Thrilling... the gold standard account of the Shah's fall... An epic and heart-breaking tragedy' Azadeh Moaveni, author of Guest House for Young Widows 'A masterfully told account... A must-read' Steve Coll, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Ghost Wars 'Delivers remarkable new insights into one of history's least understood upheavals' Kim Ghattas, author of Black Wave 'Thrilling and fully authoritative' Azadeh Moaveni, award-winning author of Lipstick Jihad and Guest House for Young Widows 'Important and riveting' Sebastian Junger, bestselling author of In My Time of Dying and Tribe

Ai, Data, and the Global South's Fight for a Fairer Future

Who Owns Intelligence

Globalisation is retreating. The world is fragmenting. And the rules of the old order no longer apply.For four decades, the world economy was built on a single premise: that borders should be thin, supply chains should be global, and governments should not pick winners. That premise is dead. The pandemic exposed the fragility of just-in-time supply chains. Russia's invasion of Ukraine revealed the danger of energy dependency. And US-China rivalry has made economic interdependence a strategic vulnerability rather than a source of peace.In The World After Globalisation, Nicholas Holt maps the emerging architecture of a fragmenting world. From the supply chain revolution - friendshoring, nearshoring, and the impossible dream of reshoring - to the return of industrial policy, from the proliferation of regional trade blocs to the digital borders of data localisation and cyber sovereignty, Holt traces the end of one economic order and the uncertain birth of another.Inside, you will discover: <ul><li>Why offshoring is over and what comes next: the real economics of moving production away from China</li><li>The CHIPS Act and Made in China 2025: how governments are picking winners again - and why some will fail</li><li>Regional trade blocs: RCEP, CPTPP, and the fragmentation of global commerce into competing spheres</li><li>The commodity shock: why prices, scarcity, and inflation are the new normal in a less connected world</li><li>The digital border: data localisation, cyber sovereignty, and the splinternet that is dividing the online world</li></ul>Three futures for the post-global world: <ol><li>Regionalism: Three or four self-sufficient blocs competing for resources and markets</li><li>Managed Interdependence: A rules-based system that permits trade only between trusted partners</li><li>Chaos: A world of tariff wars, currency wars, and resource conflicts without governing institutions</li></ol>For business leaders restructuring for a new era, investors reallocating for fragmentation, and citizens who want to understand why their world is changing, The World After Globalisation is the essential guide to the new regionalism.
