Empire, Wealth And The Coming Of Union

Palgrave Studies in Financial Services Technology

This book explores how FinTech and crypto-asset ecosystems are transforming financial and organizational processes while creating new challenges for internal control, risk management, and reporting. The volume is structured into three parts. The first introduces digital finance and tokenized economies, examining how token design influences governance structures, control systems, and risk exposure. It also develops an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework tailored to blockchain-based organizations. The second part addresses the administrative, accounting, and compliance dimensions of crypto assets, covering regulatory classification, the MiCA framework, the roles of issuers and service providers, custody arrangements, and the crypto-asset life cycle. It further discusses recognition, measurement, valuation, and disclosure issues under IFRS, US GAAP, and emerging accounting approaches. The third part applies the proposed ERM framework to four case studies, illustrating how rapid growth and technological innovation can coexist with weaknesses in governance, controls, and reporting. The analysis highlights the importance of integrating blockchain records with legal, accounting, and organizational evidence to support sustainable value creation. Combining conceptual foundations with real-world applications, the book provides a valuable reference for academics, practitioners, and students interested in FinTech, blockchain, and crypto assets.Giovanni Scirè

First published in 1951, The British Banking Mechanism seeks to enable the reader to obtain a real understanding of the British financial system as it operated back in the 1950s.The book shows how the traditional concept of the Bank of England as the supreme monetary authority controlling the volume of credit has to be modified now that the government, instead of private industry, is the chief borrower from the banking system. This book is of historical importance for scholars and students of banking history, British banking and British economics.

The British Banking Mechanism

Independent, inflation-targeting central banks were supposed to deliver stable prices, financial stability and lasting prosperity. Instead, they have presided over financial crises, stagnant growth, rising inequality and the return of inflation. Yet policymakers and politicians have proved remarkably reluctant to challenge the orthodoxy. Why has this model proved so resilient-and what should replace it? In The Gods That Failed, economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that today's macroeconomic policy framework rests on five powerful myths that have shaped economic thinking since the 1980s. From the "natural" rate of interest and the management of inflation expectations to efficient financial markets and the taboos surrounding fiscal dominance and credit policy, these ideas continue to constrain policymakers even as the evidence against them becomes overwhelming. Blending colourful economic history, cutting-edge research and vivid real-world examples, Ryan-Collins opens-up the often opaque and technocratic world of monetary and financial policy for a wide readership and illustrates its fundamental flaws. At a time of repeated economic and financial shocks, ecological breakdown and geopolitical instability, The Gods That Failed argues that rebuilding our economies will require a wholesale rethinking of how central banks, governments and financial institutions work together to manage money, credit and the macroeconomy.

Rethinking Central Banking and Macrofinancial Policy for the Age of Polycrisis

The Gods that Failed

This book provides a unique, execution-oriented institutional architecture for banking that unifies hybrid delivery, governance, trust, inclusion, and operational discipline within a single, coherent framework, with application to retail banking systems operating at scale.Digital transformation, regulatory pressure, shifting customer expectations, and rising inclusion mandates have fundamentally altered how banking financial institutions must be designed, governed, and operated. Yet much of the existing literature treats retail banking as a technology or channel problem, rather than as a complex institutional system that must function reliably at scale. Drawing on decades of real-world banking experience across multiple geographies, this book examines how retail institutions can be deliberately designed to balance execution, trust, inclusion, resilience, and long-term sustainability. Global in perspective and grounded in execution, it serves as a reference work for those responsible for shaping the future design of modern banking institutions.The Future of Retail Banking provides senior leaders, regulators, policymakers, and practitioners with a practical lens for navigating hybrid operating models, open finance ecosystems, ESG responsibilities, and long-term institutional resilience.

The Surprising Truth About How Money Works

Money: The Inside Story

Since the invasion of Ukraine and ban on foreign reporters, Russia seems to have sunk into an even deeper shadow than in the darkest times of the Soviet Union. Only by presenting himself as an historian was Italian journalist Marzio G. Mian able to penetrate the Russian heartland, leading to his groundbreaking cover story for Harpers' Magazine, "Behind the New Iron Curtain."In Volga Blues, Russian history and literature inform every step of Mian's revealing and perilous journey along Russia's most culturally significant river, the fulcrum of its history, "the mother." Along with Alessandro Cosmelli, his photographer; Vlad, their translator and fixer; and Katya, Vlad's girlfriend, Mian manages to gather firsthand accounts from ordinary Russians. They discuss not only the impact of the war, Western sanctions, and their country's isolation, but how Russian culture has changed as a result. Stalin is back in favor, Lenin has been downgraded as a "Europeanized intellectual." Newly sophisticated local and seasonal cuisine is all the rage. People cite centuries-old grievances to explain their fear of Western invasion, as they claim a willingness to accept nuclear apocalypse to save Russian pride. Talking with contemporary Russian intellectuals, entrepreneurs, priests, widows, mercenaries, and pacifists, Mian discovers how little the West knows about Russia and Russians. Deeply distrustful of democracy, yearning for the ideological and spiritual purity of the Orthodox Church, betrayed by and fearful of the West, and reassured by the brutal, fragile, ancient dream of an imperial civilization, they make clear that the Cold War has not yet ended.In visceral prose, Mian takes us across the floodplains where the Russian Orthodox faith first took root, where the Soviet empire asserted itself, and where the neo-imperial project of Vladimir Putin's post-Soviet autocracy is currently being consolidated. The result is a harrowing, haunting vision of today's great clash of civilizations-between Russia and the West-including a United States that at times seems uncannily similar.

UK Banking Supervision (1986) draws attention to some of the main problems, theoretical and practical, associated with banking supervision in the UK. It sets out to introduce and analyse the UK bank supervisory process, and it raises some important questions. The main emphasis is on the process and historical context of supervisory development and some of the most pressing problems engendered by supervision.

UK Banking Supervision

A provocative analysis of the deadly Cold War conflicts that devastated countries and communities far from Moscow and Washington 
 
Transforming battlegrounds in Africa, Asia, and Latin America into veritable hellscapes, the surrogate wars of the Cold War era left behind a legacy of collective trauma and social conflict that have persisted into the present. In this ambitious work, Alfred W. McCoy uses a bottom-up, outside-in approach to offer an unexpected new perspective on the longest, most consequential conflict in modern history. 
 
McCoy renders an intimate portrait of both embattled covert operatives and committed antiwar protesters, thus humanizing the history of the Cold War-a history that has too often been told in impersonal terms of economic growth, nuclear arsenals, or diplomatic ententes. 
 
As today's great powers devote humanity's scarce resources toward ratcheting up a "new cold war" in the face of a worsening climate crisis, McCoy's history is an important reminder that otherwise- ordinary individuals once helped end a global conflict that threatened nuclear holocaust.

International Handbook of Social Media Laws

Renowned economist Josh Ryan-Collins provides the ideal pedagogical resource for anyone concerned with the major role central banks play in shaping all of our economic opportunities and daily lives. This book provides a concise, authoritative overview of the history and stated purpose of central banks. With critiques of principles and actions that have emerged since the 2008 crash, Ryan-Collins's own and others' proposals offer a solution of how to reform them. In a clear, easy-to-follow structure, it offers historical-normative descriptions of the evolution and role of central banks alongside "myth-busting" chapters explaining the salient critiques of, and proposed alternatives to, principles at the heart of central-bank thinking. Along the way, it covers the major issues preoccupying critical central banking studies and political economics today, including housing inequalities, climate change, digital currencies, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence.
