Taplin Jonathan: The End of Reality / B

The End of Reality

How Elon Musk and his Friends are Changing Your World

This book poses an important question for economic sociologists: as expanding specialty coffee markets call for higher-quality coffees produced and transacted in certain ways, why is there not a widespread expectation that the producers who grow these differentiated coffees should receive prices that are commensurate with the economic value they create? Moving past an overly simple economics, Roberts does not accept that problematic specialty coffee pricing is the direct result of ongoing problems with global supply and demand. The real problems are that the people who grow differentiated specialty coffees do not have access to relevant price information and that they have outdated market connections. These numbers and networks problems are exacerbated by a more fundamental problem. Conversations about the value of green specialty coffees remain rooted in an outdated pricing narrative that features global scarcity rather than quality-based differentiation. Roberts outlines a mosaic of promising market interventions that address the numbers and networks problems before explaining why the outdated pricing narrative is so difficult to change. He concludes by offering specific motivations for researchers to explore valuation and pricing in specialty coffee markets. As economists, sociologists, and especially economic sociologists take the coffee industry more seriously, they will turn untrodden research pathways into action-oriented ideas that will transform the global coffee industry by changing how people think and talk about them.

Confronting the Commodification of Specialty Coffee Producers

From Supply and Demand to Numbers, Networks, and Narratives

'One of the most original and important books on Africa in years' FINANCIAL TIMES'A compelling case for the continent's potential' Bill GatesThe birth of new nations, independent democracies, the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo; the African continent is booming. So why do myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land and overpopulation remain?In a groundbreaking new study of Africa's developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views about the continent's presumed resistance to growth, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management. Considering everything from settler colonialism to soil conditions, mineral extractivism to disease development and eradication, Studwell persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people and states across Africa, has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world's second largest continent - and an optimistic look to its future.

Success and Failure on the World's Last Developmental Frontier

Today's marketplace is shaped by habits of excess that threaten both consumer well-being and the environment, placing overconsumption, materialism, and unsustainable business practices at the heart of contemporary marketing debates. Mindful Consumption and Marketing redefines how markets, organizations, and individuals navigate demand and growth by positioning mindfulness as a transformative lens for theory and practice. Situated at the intersection of consumer behavior, marketing strategy, and sustainable enterprise, it shows how conscious awareness of both internal experiences and external market forces can shape more deliberate and purposeful choices. Krittinee Nuttavuthisit advances a vision of marketing as a moral and relational practice, where value creation balances profitability with consumer well-being, social equity, and ecological responsibility. Through a combination of theory-driven chapters on consumer psychology, sociocultural context, and decision-making, alongside rich case-based illustrations, she charts a forward-looking path for scholars and practitioners seeking more balanced and sustainable market development.

Mindful Consumption and Marketing

How access is replacing ownership--and changing who we are."You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy. Whatever you want you'll rent." That was the World Economic Forum's number one prediction for 2030, made back in 2016. The timing might be slightly off, but it's undeniably true that ownership is on a significant decline and is creating a tectonic shift from a society of owners to a society of users, renters, and streamers.As a result, we're trading ownership for access, purchases for subscriptions, and possessions for the rights to cloud-stored digital copies. Homeowners are giving way to forever renters, and some have even embraced the life of a digital nomad.This shift is more than just an economic one; it's a profound challenge to centuries of using ownership to form our identity. In fundamental, human ways, we are what we own. So what are we if we don't own much?In Possessions, Carey Morewedge, a leading researcher and powerful voice in behavioral science, marketing, and consumer behavior, leads us on a journey to answer that question. He takes us on a fascinating tour of the rapidly shifting landscape, from a life of creating ownership--possessing things--to a life of "liquid consumption"--life-as-a-service, in which all you possess are your experiences and your brand (and probably a phone). From Delaware goat farms to Australian housing tracts to a Quebec City ice hotel; from an artist in London to a former economist who lived for a time with only his devices and what he could carry on his back, you'll visit places and meet people that show just how complicated and compelling the idea of ownership is, why you value your things so much, and what happens when you can't (or decide not to) own something.As the economy continues to shift toward a reality closer to the World Economic Forum's prediction for 2030, Possessions will help you understand that shift and what it means to all of us--when we own less and use more.

Possessions

Elon Musk ist der mächtigste Mann der Welt. Tesla machte ihn zum dreihundertfachen Milliardär, mit seinem Satellitennetzwerk Starlink beeinflusst er das Kriegsgeschehen in der Ukraine. Sein Social-Media-Netzwerk X nutzt Musk als Bühne für seine persönliche Propaganda. Im Herbst 2024 kaufte er sich auch noch in die US-Regierung ein. 
Musk inszeniert sich als Retter der Zivilisation, doch sein Geniegestus birgt eine erschreckende Kehrseite: Ungewöhnlich viele Arbeitsunfälle in seinen Fabriken, gefährliche Fehler des Tesla-Autopiloten und zahllose gebrochene Versprechen werfen einen dunklen Schatten auf seinen Erfolg. 
Die Investigativjournalisten Sönke Iwersen und Michael Verfürden reißen in diesem Buch Musks Fassade ein. Sie analysieren interne Tesla-Daten, werten Gerichtsakten aus und sprechen mit Kunden, Mitarbeitern und Hinterbliebenen. Ihre Recherchen zeigen einen Konzern außer Kontrolle und einen Chef ohne Skrupel. Sie sind ein Vorgeschmack darauf, was die Welt von Musk als erstem globalen Oligarchen zu erwarten hat. 
'Ich habe kein Problem damit, gehasst zu werden', sagt Elon Musk. Seine Biografie gleicht einer Kaskade von Kämpfen - mit seinen Mitarbeitern, seinen Geschäftspartnern und in seinen privaten Beziehungen. Nun ist er der Schattenpräsident der USA und greift über sein Netzwerk X weltweit in die Politik ein. Musk geriert sich als Schutzpatron für rechte und rechtsextreme Politiker. Die preisgekrönten Investigativjournalisten Sönke Iwersen und Michael Verfürden zeichnen das Porträt eines libertären Techno-Autokraten, der keine Grenzen akzeptiert. Sein Motto: Die Welt gehört ihm, alle anderen leben nur darin.&nbsp;Aktualisierte und leicht überarbeitete Neuauflage nach den sich überschlagenden Ereignissen in der US-Regierung und rund um das Tesla-Werk in der brandenburgischen Gemeinde Grünheide.

Sustainable business is no longer optional--it's the strategy that will determine who leads and who gets left behind.Climate change is not just a future threat--it's a current reality, reshaping markets, supply chains, and entire industries. Rising temperatures, resource scarcity, and mounting waste are driving regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny, and consumer demand for sustainable practices. For business leaders, this isn't just an operational challenge--it's a strategic disruption. Companies that fail to adapt risk being swept aside by forces they can no longer ignore.In The Ultimate Disruption: Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change, INSEAD professors Atalay Atasu and Luk Van Wassenhove provide an essential road map for thriving in this new era. Drawing on decades of research and real-world case studies, they show why sustainability must be treated as a core business imperative, not a compliance exercise or marketing slogan. The authors introduce a framework for rethinking strategy, redefining value propositions, and reinventing business models to integrate environmental value alongside customer utility and profit.Through compelling examples--from Polygreen's zero-waste transformation on a Greek island to Schneider Electric's global decarbonization initiatives--the book illustrates how companies are turning environmental constraints into opportunities for innovation and growth. Each chapter tackles critical steps: building the business case for sustainability; revisiting value potential; overcoming operational and scaling challenges; and leveraging partnerships, tech, and new business models to deliver shared value and profitability.Sustainability is no longer a cost--it's a competitive advantage. The Ultimate Disruption equips leaders with the strategies and tools to navigate the climate-driven transformation of business ecosystems and emerge stronger than ever.

The Ultimate Disruption

Managing and Leading for Social Justice

If you’re tired of one-size-fits-all leadership advice—this book is for you. If you’ve ever been told that you don’t fit the mold. That you don’t look like a leader or act like a leader. That you’re too much, or maybe not enough. The Antihero Advantage gives you permission to throw conventional leadership wisdom out the window, trust your instincts, and stop performing for approval or to meet some unrealistic standard. Instead, you’ll learn how to transform your flaws, fears, and doubts into tactical advantages. Bestselling author, communication strategist, and founder of Art of Coaching Brett Bartholomew tells it straight: You become a more effective leader when you learn how to channel your darker impulses with awareness, discipline, and strategy. Because real change rarely comes from playing it safe or trying to fit a mold. Sometimes you have to be willing to be a misfit — an antihero. That means breaking a few rules, accepting that not everyone will like you, and developing the tools needed to handle difficult people and to face conflict in ways that drive progress. Modern leadership demands social agility, power fluency, and adaptability. The Antihero Advantage gives you the tools to operate in complex, morally gray environments without losing yourself in the process. Stop seeking approval. Stop waiting for certainty. Stop doubting yourself. Only then will you become the leader you were meant to be.

Become the Leader You're Meant to Be

The Antihero Advantage

In a movement-defining book, the "godmother of the current moment of dissatisfaction with establishment politics" (The New York Times) tells the story of the rising anti-monopoly movement and charts a course to a democratic future In a short, sharp political book, The Nation magazine's "Anti-Monopolist" columnist and "a prophet of the resurgent left" (Franklin Foer) explains the battle between the forces of oligarchy and the rise of the new anti-monopoly movement. Using the stories of modern anti-monopoly heroes including Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan; blueberry farmer Hugh Kent, who turned his battle with Driscoll's into a farmers' movement; and Doha Mekki, the daughter of a Sudanese asylum seeker who took on Google and won; Teachout explains how anti-monopoly cuts across traditional political lines and gives real teeth to economic populism.Teachout, a scholar of the law of democracy and a politician whose run for governor of New York State shocked the political establishment, argues that monopoly is the architecture of private tyranny, and that breaking corporate power is essential to building a new democracy. From AI to agriculture, healthcare to energy, Americans understand that corporate concentration doesn't just cause inequality; it organizes power. Anti-Monopoly gives that feeling a name, a history, and a way forward. After a spate of books out of the Abundance movement arguing that we need to remove local democracy and focus on efficiency at scale, this book provides a sharp counterpoint.

A leading psychologist and philosopher challenge the shortcomings of rational choice theory-and propose a new framework for understanding decision-makingFor many decision scientists, their starting point-drawn from economics-is a quantitative formula called rational choice theory, allowing people to calculate and choose the best options. The problem is that this framework assumes an overly simplistic picture of the world, in which different types of values can be quantified and compared, leading to the "most rational" choice. Behavioral economics acknowledges that irrationality is common but still accepts the underlying belief from economics of what a rational decision should look like.In this book, Barry Schwartz and Richard Schuldenfrei offer a different way to think about the choices we make every day. Drawing from economics, psychology, and philosophy-and both inspired by and challenging Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow-they show how the focus on rationality, narrowly understood, fails to fully describe how we think about our decisions, much less help us make better ones. Notably, it overlooks the positive contribution that framing-how we determine what aspects are most important to us-contributes to good decisions. Schwartz and Schuldenfrei argue that our choices should be informed by our individual "constellation of virtues," allowing for a far richer understanding of the decisions we make and helping us to live more integrated and purposeful lives.
