Aponte X: The Biggest Transfer Of Wealth

The Biggest Transfer Of Wealth

In The Age Of Cryptocurrency

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.

Prediction Markets and the Future of Democracy

The Big Bet

Each of the 150 entries explores a single object-beautifully illustrated and deeply contextualized-to uncover how people bought, sold, traded, saved, and survived through the ages. Designed with researchers, educators, students, and curious readers in mind, this richly visual volume brings together cultural history, economic life, and global exchange in a highly accessible format. Each object includes origin details, historical purchasing power, and its legacy today-making it an ideal reference for classrooms, libraries, and history lovers alike.

The Daily Life of Money in History

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.

The Law of Digital Payments

A unified framework for understanding monetary policy, including recent unprecedented interventions by central banks Over the past two decades, monetary policy has been deployed in unprecedented ways, as central banks attempted to mitigate the adverse consequences of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, the COVID-19 global lockdown, and recent inflationary surges. In Monetary Economics and Policy, Pierpaolo Benigno offers a new way to understand the potency and effectiveness of monetary policy, presenting a unified modeling framework to analyze policy challenges posed by both paper and digital currency systems. He investigates current theoretical and policy controversies, drawing connections with historical themes in monetary economics. Benigno examines how central banks control the value of their currency amid competition from cryptocurrencies and private money-like securities; discusses the desirability of inflation targeting for macroeconomic stabilization; and explores theoretical grounds for the unconventional monetary policies seen in the recent period of zero nominal interest rates, including forward guidance, quantitative and credit easing, and helicopter money. He accompanies his analysis with an innovative visual representation of the New Keynesian model and inflation-targeting policies. Benigno's novel framework also allows the study of monetary policy normalization through quantitative tightening toward what has become the "new normal." He discusses the optimal provision of liquidity and the different roles of the government and financial intermediaries. Finally, he recounts historical controversies regarding the inflation-unemployment trade-off to understand the 2020s inflationary surge and delves into the causes and dynamics of hyperinflations, tracing them to the subtle, ambiguous linkages between monetary and fiscal policy and weak balance-sheet conditions for the central bank.

The Future of Global Governance?

Digital Currencies and Blockchain Technology in International Politics

Amid global sustainability difficulties and rising economic uncertainty, this book emphasizes the necessity for integrated strategies that harmonize security, sustainable development, and technological innovation. It helps create robust and transparent frameworks for organizations in dynamic contexts by utilizing advanced tools, including digital technology, renewable energy systems, and strategic knowledge management. The book emphasizes actionable tactics that link global security with sustainable economic advancement.The concepts in the book fundamentally rely on the utilization of digital technologies to improve security management and sustainability initiatives. Blockchain, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and predictive analytics are examined as essential instruments for maintaining operational resilience and adhering to regulatory requirements. Blockchain provides immutable data records that enhance transparency and trust within organizational ecosystems. This technology facilitates accurate tracking of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) parameters, bolstering stakeholders' trust in the organization's sustainability assertions. Likewise, IoT devices gather real-time data on energy usage, emissions, and supply chain efficiency, facilitating proactive modifications that conform to sustainable development objectives.The book underscores the strategic incorporation of renewable energy sources (RES) into security frameworks, establishing energy systems that are both sustainable and geopolitically stable. Organizations can diminish their reliance on non-renewable energy and enhance economic efficiency and long-term resilience by implementing solar, wind, and other renewable technologies. Improved energy security is essential for maintaining continuity during interruptions and facilitates the worldwide shift towards low-carbon economies. This component of the research demonstrates the relationship between energy sustainability and global security goals.

Global Security and Sustainable Business Development

This book is the first investigation of the relationship between EU digital sovereignty and sustainability strategies. It maps the ambitions and limitations of EU digital strategic autonomy and explores the structural challenges underlying its relationship with its green transition objectives in the context of the ongoing wars in neighbouring European countries and the consequent tensions in the EU energy sector. The EU is racing to achieve technological independence from third countries and foreign multinational companies to protect its digital sovereignty and preserve its fundamental rights. In the EU, digitalisation and the green transformation are seen as twin transitions. Yet, EU digital sovereignty strategies have a significant environmental cost. Reaching a status of strategic autonomy of the EU at the level of digital infrastructures, products, services and data implies higher energy consumption and exploitation of natural resources. Moreover, the geopolitical tensions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have provoked an unprecedented energy crisis, which is affecting EU economies and impacting objectives of the twin transitions. The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the major EU regulatory and policy instruments in this field, providing an invaluable guide for academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complex issues of preserving digital sovereignty and addressing climate change in times of war and energy crisis.

Scam World is a big place, encompassing everything from investment fraud to everyday rip-offs. Setting out to discover its strange geography, Zeke Faux ('the funniest finance writer in America' - Matt Levine) takes notes at stadium-sized motivational conferences where paying audiences learn that the only way to reach your dreams is to sell, by any means necessary. He goes undercover, taking a job at a shady Florida call-centre operation fueled by social media ads that 'go out and find the morons for me'.Crossing the globe from India to Dubai to Thailand's Golden Triangle, where gangsters have built an entire city of scams, he explores the psychology of the con artist. What drives someone to choose a life of ripping other people off? And what makes us fall for them? (As one victim of a $100,000 fraud tells him, 'Once my scammer told me how I could make 30% overnight, working for $20 an hour seemed like the real scam.')From Mar-a-Lago to White House, from Wall Street to your street, this is the story of how the 'sell or be sold' mindset went from being a sign of sociopathy to a marker of success.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.
