Jamali L: The Bankruptcy Machine

The Bankruptcy Machine

How Chapter 11 Became Corporate America's Secret Weapon

In 1977, The Economist coined the term "Dutch disease" to describe the damage to the real economy when wealth derives from resource exports rather than productive work. On April 1, 1978, the Second Amendment to the IMF's Articles of Agreement came into force, ending gold's monetary role within the IMF system and consolidating the transition to pure fiat money. With "money" no longer backed by anything real, the alchemists' dream of a "Philosopher's Stone"--the ability to create seemingly limitless wealth out of nothing--appeared to have been realized. But while real wealth produced by human labor is finite, fiat money creation is not subject to the same physical constraint. The result was a new and far more powerful variant of Dutch disease: the Philosopher's Stone Disease. The Money Powers' financialization of economies and imposition of neoliberalism increasingly privileged finance over production. Over the next four decades, the consequences extended beyond economics, eroding the cultural and civilizational heritage and traditions of large swaths of the global population. The socioeconomic impact of this pure fiat-money regime, globally and within the United States, has been an across-the-board deterioration, while its benefits accrued overwhelmingly to less than 0.01 percent of the population. Yet creating money cannot create the real goods it commands. The system therefore depends upon a steady external supply of real goods and the recycling of part of the resulting surpluses into U.S. financial assets. Energy revenues from West Asia have been key to sustaining it. A resurgent Iran thus posed an existential threat to the UK-established and U.S.-dominated oil order. Sanctions, assassinations, proxy wars, color revolutions, terrorist attacks and mass psychological manipulation followed, but failed to achieve their objective. If Iran emerges victorious from the war launched against it in 2026 and breaks U.S. control over the oil-rich Levant, the petrodollar recycling system will suffer a massive blow, accelerating withdrawal from U.S. Treasuries. The dilemma is stark: financial dominance ultimately requires real power to enforce it, while the Philosopher's Stone Disease has hollowed out the productive and military foundations of that power. Why the West Can't Recover: The Philosopher's Stone Disease explains why there may be no way back.

Introduction to Global Business

Are digital technologies really a silver bullet for development in the Global South?


Digital technologies are supposed to solve the challenges of climate change, projected population growth, land conflicts and food insecurity, especially in rural areas. Yet NGOs, government institutions, and private companies are increasingly adopting a trial-and-error approach as they recognize the limitations of transferring Western science and technologies to the global South.
 
This book presents the ambivalent practices and implications of digital pilot projects which aim to 'develop' both farming communities and locally adapted innovations in East Africa. Inspired by laboratory ethnographies in Science and Technology Studies, it explores the practices of testing and developing digital technologies in rural Tanzania. The multi-sited ethnography, which takes in agricultural fairs, conferences, documents, online courses, tech hubs, project offices, villages and fields, centres on three case studies, namely DAST (a digital land-formalisation tool), STAS (an AI system for agricultural productivity) and iPlus (an e-extension tool). Rather than viewing these technologies simply as welcome tools to promote connectivity, empowerment and increased production - as commonly advanced in development policy - this book foregrounds the (un)intended consequences of the planning, set-up, maintenance and results of digital pilot projects. Against the backdrop of conflicting logics between testing technologies and developing Tanzanian agriculture through them, this book considers their (un)predictable impacts on new actors, the character of development and the trial communities in rural Tanzania.

Experimental Rural Development in the Global South

The Change Most Companies Get Wrong Most change efforts fail for the same reason. Leaders pour their energy into the process and overlook the people who have to carry it out. New software gets installed and new workflows get drawn up, and within weeks the team drifts back to the old way of doing things. Allan Breidenbach spent more than a decade building a better way. As president of a seventy-year-old, employee-owned manufacturer, he created the RATCHET-UP system, a nine-step method that puts people at the center of every change. In RATCHET-UP, you will learn how to: <ul> <li>Earn the standing and trust that make real change possible</li> <li>Get a team genuinely aligned instead of just nodding along</li> <li>Recognize where technology helps and where it only adds friction</li> <li>Spot and address the people quietly undermining progress</li> <li>Measure profit in more than dollars</li> </ul> Filled with real stories from the shop floor and free of consultant jargon, this book gives leaders in any industry a clear, practical way to make change that lasts.

Too many leaders are burning out--and taking their teams with them. Despite good intentions, many organizations still push harder, demand more, and equate long hours with high performance. The result? Talented people walk away from work they once loved, while leaders feel stuck between delivering results at any cost or failing altogether. Longevity Leadership challenges that paradigm. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral science, and years of experience in organizational change, Jessica Billiet offers a new model for leadership--one that recognizes performance and well-being are not in conflict but deeply connected. When leaders understand how the brain responds to stress, motivation, and habit, they can create environments where people are energized, innovative, and resilient--without sacrificing results. This book explores the small, often overlooked choices leaders make every day: how they respond to pressure, how they communicate during uncertainty, and how they shape team habits and rhythms. Readers will learn practical, science-backed strategies for reducing burnout, leading through resistance, and building sustainable performance across their teams and organizations. At its core, Longevity Leadership is a call for systemic change. It's about equipping leaders at every level with tools to achieve results without destroying the people who deliver them. Inspiring and deeply practical, this book shows that when leaders honor both performance and mental health, everyone wins.

Longevity Leadership: Building Sustainable Performance Through Science-Backed Strategies

We are running our lives, teams, and organizations as though our resources are unlimited. They are not. Regenerative People names the cost of that assumption and offers a different way to work, lead, and live. Drawing on six decades of combined coaching and consulting experience, Janet M. Harvey and Silvia Tassarotti trace the shift from extraction to regeneration--from optimizing outcomes to evolving with them, from controlling uncertainty to partnering with it, and from isolating to protect what we have to interconnecting with what sustains us. Regenerative People moves through four expanding circles: the personal renewal that makes all of this possible, the leadership practices that build resilient teams, the organizational models that generate long-term value rather than short-term extraction, and the community-level shifts that make regeneration collective rather than individual. Each chapter pairs concepts with reflective questions and practices, inviting readers to slow down and apply what they're learning rather than simply collect more ideas. The authors write as guides, not lecturers, walking alongside readers the way Virgil walked beside Dante, offering models and questions in search of the reader's own answers. For coaches, executives, and anyone who senses that the old operating model is reaching its limits, this book offers both the diagnosis and the practice: a way to notice drift before it costs something irreplaceable and to deliberately choose a more enduring way to lead.

Regenerative People: Why Renewal Is Key to Lasting Leadership
