A dazzling exploration of the phenomenon of prediction betting markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? For many, Donald Trump's decisive election victory over Kamala Harris in 2024 was a shock. Traditional polls had the race on a razor's edge. But, for those with eyes on prediction betting markets, a very different story was being told. In recent years, prediction markets have swept the world, fundamentally changing the nature of the gambling market, and making their youthful pioneers billionaires. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction bets allow any difference of opinion - whether on politics, wars, assassinations or popular culture - to be financialised. But are these markets really a new phenomenon? What does it mean when markets get closer to the truth than the institutions we built to protect us? And what happens when those tasked with safeguarding democracy possess financial stakes in its volatility? From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through London coffee house gossip during the Napoleonic Wars, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange, The Big Bet describes the full five-hundred-year arc of a permissive regime which no one designed and no one voted for. Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future of our democratic self-governance. Because they are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world when everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

Magnetic Communication

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 21st 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.

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on four years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.

Der Blick über die Grenzen zeigt: Die liberalen Demokratien sind in der Defensive, längst ist unklar, ob nicht der Autokratie die Zukunft gehört. Und auch in Deutschland haben der Aufstieg des Rechtspopulismus und die zunehmende soziale Ungleichheit zu einem Verlust von Vertrauen in die Demokratie geführt, der ihr Verschwinden denkbar werden lässt. Dieser Essay blickt nicht nostalgisch auf die gute alte Zeit der liberalen Demokratie zurück, sondern betrachtet diese als historisch spezifische Ordnung in einer Phase kollektiven Wohlstands, die an ihr Ende gekommen ist. Statt Visionen zur Rettung des Überkommenen zu entwerfen, fragen die Autoren, was danach kommen könnte: Expertokratie, Digitalisierung und verschärfte Exklusionen sind nicht zwangsläufig ein »neuer Faschismus«, stellen aber eine neue Ära von Aufruhr und Ordnungszerfall in Aussicht.

Was kommt danach?

Liberale Demokratie ohne Zukunft

Studies in International Law

This book examines international humanitarian law (IHL) in Africa. Taking a dual approach it looks initially at the African context before exploring contemporary armed conflicts. The first part addresses the marginalization of IHL in Africa, by theorizing the reasons for it and identifying clear strategies for enhancing IHL within the continent's armed conflict debates. The second part examines the core challenges posed by contemporary armed conflict. Two case studies underpin this: the Boko Haram insurgency in West Africa and armed conflict in South Sudan. This thought-provoking work addresses the dearth of literature presenting African stakeholders' expertise on IHL in the region.

Equips legal professionals and stakeholders with a clear, authoritative, and practical guide to the UK legal treatment of digital payments and tokenised assets. The Law of Digital Payments explores the evolving landscape of UK financial law as it adapts to innovations in digital finance. With fintech disrupting traditional models of value exchange, legal professionals must navigate complex regulatory challenges concerning digital wallets, open banking APIs, smart contracts, decentralised finance (DeFi), and the treatment of tokenised assets under common law. This work delves into how UK courts and regulators are addressing these innovations. It provides clarity on the current legal treatment of payment tokens, security tokens, cryptoassets and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It also investigates the impact of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023, the Bank of England's stance on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and how the Payment Services Regulations and E-Money Regulations are applied to innovative business models. Drawing upon regulatory guidance, case law, and international developments, the book is designed to help practitioners, regulators, academics, and financial institutions understand and navigate the complex intersection of law and digital finance. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Banking and Finance Law online service.
