FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF YOU'RE NOT LISTENING Have you ever met someone and felt an immediate connection? Are there people in your life who always seem to lift your spirits, while others just as reliably drag you down? Do people actually emit vibes? Are bad habits contagious? In Why We Click, bestselling author Kate Murphy explores the emerging science of interpersonal synchrony - the most important social dynamic most people have never heard of. This seemingly magical yet science-backed phenomenon is fundamental to human connection, bonding and attachment. By subconsciously mimicking one another's movements, facial expressions and gestures - not to mention syncing our heart rates, blood pressure, pupil dilation and brainwaves - we internalize and develop empathy for one another. Weaving together science, philosophy, history, literature, pop culture and plenty of real-world examples, Murphy reveals that our emotions, moods, attitudes and subsequent behaviours can be contagious - and can have a profound impact on our health and well-being. With curiosity, concision and wit, Murphy uncovers why being 'in tune' and 'on the same wavelength' are more than just turns of phrase and offers a new way of thinking about our everyday human interactions.

Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Laos provides a comprehensive introduction to the Lao People's Democratic Republic's recent development and transformation.The handbook showcases state-of-the-field interdisciplinary research across six themes: The Basics, The Populace, Political Economy, Resources, International and Challenges. Individual chapters provide specialist and non-specialist readers with a rigorous overview of 32 fundamental topics in Lao Studies, from 'The Party: Lao People's Revolutionary Party', 'Inter-Ethnic Relations' and 'Decision Making', to 'Land', 'Lao Foreign Policy' and 'Gender.' Marking the 50th anniversary of the country's landmark revolution of 1975, the handbook explores the contested achievements of socialist rule under the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP), examines the political, economic and environmental impact of the LPRP's resource intensive strategies for growth and development, and considers the benefits and challenges of Laos's evolving geo-political and geo-economic relations with China, Vietnam, Thailand and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). While focusing on contemporary Laos, the chapters are rooted in a clear understanding of how present-day issues have emerged from Laos's extraordinary history, spanning pre-colonial Buddhist kingdoms, French colonialism, royalist nationalism and socialist revolution.Bringing together a purposely diverse collection of scholars, each an established or emerging authority in their own sub-field, the timely study takes stock of the country's development and considers what the next phase in the country's history might hold.

In Community, Peter Block explores how authentic community can emerge from fragmentation and offers practical steps to foster transformation. This updated third edition draws on decades of implementing Block’s ideas and includes the following: <ul><li>New stories and examples demonstrating community building as a more powerful approach to social problems than traditional policies and programs</li><li>Expanded resources and a discussion guide designed for classroom and training program use</li><li>A new closing chapter covering broader implications of the book’s ideas for organizational transformation</li><li>Fresh content exploring the creative economy’s relationship to belonging and social capital’s role in authentic engagement</li><li>Updated examples showing how community principles apply to today’s workplace and virtual world challenges</li></ul> From neighborhood councils transforming local engagement to organizations shifting from competitive to cooperative cultures, Block demonstrates how simple positive change can be once we decide it’s essential. Whether readers are community leaders, organizational consultants, or concerned citizens, this book provides the framework and tools to move from fragmentation to connection, from isolation to belonging.

The Structure of Belonging

Community, Third Edition

An exploration of Cuba's emerging digital culture and Cubans' creation of grassroots networks, digital black markets, and online spaces for public debateUntil just a few years ago, Cuba was one of the least-connected countries in the world. But as digital technology has become increasingly available, Cubans have found inventive ways to work around such remaining barriers as slow speeds, high costs, and inadequate infrastructure. In Island in the Net, Steffen Köhn examines Cuba's nascent digital culture and how it has reconfigured the relationship between the state and its citizens. Köhn shows that through innovations including "sneakernets" (the physical transfer of information by flash drives and other devices), digital black markets, and online spaces for political debates, Cubans have successfully challenged the government's monopoly on media and public discourse. Drawing on multisited ethnographic research, Köhn documents Cuba's digital awakening, from the introduction of accessible Wi-Fi in 2015 to the social media-fueled protests in July 2021. Cubans' community-driven digital innovations, he suggests, could be models for potential alternatives to the current Big Tech-dominated internet. Each chapter in Island in the Net is accompanied by a multimodal anthropology work: a video game, interactive installations, video art, an ethnographic documentary, and an expanded cinema installation. These unique media, created with Cuban artist Nestor Siré and other local collaborators, accessible to readers via a QR code, bring the book's argument vividly to life.

Island in the Net

How new technology is rapidly changing the nature of money and the way we pay A diverse and growing range of financial institutions and platforms--from PayPal and Venmo to WeChat, Alipay, and the brave new world of stablecoins--has harnessed new technology to disrupt the system of money and payments as we know it. Beyond Banks explains why this disruption holds out the promise of faster, cheaper, more convenient, and more secure payments, but also how it increasingly risks exposing consumers, businesses, and governments to the problem of bad money. Dan Awrey traces the origins of our current bundled system of banking, money, and payments. He explains why the problem of bad money--the result of antiquated and inadequate laws and regulation that fail to establish credible commitments to hold, transfer, or return a customer's money on demand--requires that policymakers fundamentally rethink their approach toward the design of the laws and institutions at the heart of this system. He presents ways to effectively unbundle banking from money and payments, ensure the credibility of monetary commitments, and promote the stability of this system. Awrey also envisions a more forward-looking role for policymakers in encouraging greater technological experimentation, competition, and innovation in the realm of payments. Beyond Banks sheds critical light on the important but too often dysfunctional relationship among technology, regulation, and money, and lays the foundations for a safer, more nimble, and more inclusive system of money and payments.

Given the significant developments in Indian economic and trade policymaking over the last two decades, this book provides an authoritative and timely analysis of the transformation and current state of India's foreign economic policy. The work presents a comprehensive, informed and critical overview of negotiating issues addressed in the recent period leading up to the substantial conclusion of the Trade Facilitation Agreement. The volume also takes into account the geopolitical considerations that influenced the negotiations. Finally, the reform steps being taken by India need to be understood in light of the structural changes in the economy, fuelling domestic compulsion, and the analysis covers this undercurrent in detail. The book will be a valuable guide to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of international trade law, development economics and global politics.

India’s Foreign Economic Policy

An award-winning economic journalist on why the US dollar is positioned to maintain global primacy—and what that means for America and the world &nbsp; “Magisterial.”—Edward Chancellor, Reuters &nbsp; Prophecies that the dollar will lose its status as the world’s dominant currency have echoed for decades—and are increasing in volume. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts claim that Bitcoin or other blockchain-based monetary units will replace the dollar. Foreign policy hawks warn that China’s renminbi poses a lethal threat to the greenback. And sound money zealots predict that mounting US debt and inflation will surely erode the dollar’s value to the point of irrelevancy. &nbsp; Contra the doomsayers, Paul Blustein shows that the dollar’s standing atop the world’s currency pyramid is impregnable, barring catastrophic policy missteps by the US government. Recounting how the United States has wielded the dollar to impose devastating sanctions against adversaries, Blustein explains that although targets such as Russia have found ways to limit the damage, Washington’s financial weaponry will retain potency long into the future. His message, however, is that America must not be complacent about the dollar; the great power that its supremacy confers comes with commensurate responsibility.

The Bank of England pull back the curtain on how money really works, and what happens when it doesn't. Where does money come from? What gives a £1 coin its value? And whose job is it to actually print banknotes? Most of us think about money every day. But we tend not to think about how weird it is: a totally abstract concept, built entirely on trust, which somehow makes the whole world function. The Bank of England know more about money than most - after all, they are the ones responsible for making sure it works. Now, the Bank answer all the questions about money that you've never thought to ask - from what makes money money, to how private banks create money every time they give out a loan, to what happens to cash when it's past its sell by date (it's often moulded into garden furniture, as it turns out). Along the way, they offer your one-stop guide to how money really works - and where it might be going next.

Money: The Inside Story

The Radical Imagination

Since its initial 2011 publication, Theory from the South has stimulated a new field of inquiry from leading scholars, while world developments have escalated and supported its original thesis of how "Euroamerica has evolved toward Africa." Not least of these is the many resemblances of the Trump presidency to that of Jacob Zuma, transformations in the nature of many of the world's Northern democracies, the rise of populist politics, the intensifying hold of private capital over functions of the state, sharpening inequalities, and the transformation of labor. In a new chapter for this expanded edition, the Comaroffs extend their theorizing around and beyond these new developments. Critique and discussion by several prominent commentators round out this new edition: Achille Mbembe, James Ferguson, Ato Quayson, Srinivas Aravamudan, and Juan Obarrio.

Theory from the South, Revisited

Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Motiv Behinderung innerhalb des Jesajabuches und welche (ethischen) Auswirkungen dieses Motiv auf unser heutiges Verständnis von Behinderung besitzt. Gerade das Jesajabuch besitzt eine wirkungsreiche Rezeption in Theologie, Kirche und allgemein in unserer Gesellschaft, die auch unser gegenwärtiges Bild von Menschen mit Behinderungen prägt. In dieser Arbeit wird daher ein Dreischritt vollzogen. Im ersten Schritt werden alle Texte des Jesajabuches historisch kritisch analysiert, in denen körperliche Behinderungen explizit erwähnt werden. In einem zweiten Schritt beleuchtet die Autorin die Darstellungsformen von Behinderung auf einer ethischnarrativen und einer metaphorischen Ebene und zieht dazu Ansätze der Disability Studies und der Kognitiven Literaturwissenschaften heran. In einem dritten Schritt werden die Ergebnisse schließlich mit gegenwärtigen medizin, bio und sozialethischen Debatten in Bezug gesetzt.

 Foundations of Real-World Economics&nbsp;Humans evolved to experience work as pleasurable and continued to find it pleasurable for the first 98% of our history, often likening it to play. The negative associations we see now with “work” stem from the extreme inequality and exploitation accompanying the rise of the state 5,500 years ago. Consequently, today many people view work negatively, seeing it as a means to gain income to enable consumption as opposed to serving as a means for creativity, community, and self-fulfillment.
 In 
 Why We Must Work
 , Jon D. Wisman draws upon economics, philosophy, evolutionary psychology, social anthropology, and history to explore how work has been experienced and understood over the course of history. In addressing current conditions, he notes the absurdity that, while we live with unparalleled abundance, some workers suffer unemployment and most are not free in their workplaces, often being bossed about. Equally absurd, given our abundance, is the extreme inequality that results in pervasive insecurity, stress, and pessimism. Laissez-faire ideology legitimates the public policies that generate this inequality and these work conditions while depicting ever greater consumption as opposed to meaningful work as the means to greater happiness.
 Wisman offers an attractive alternative vision of our future, grounded in two reforms to make work again fulfilling: guaranteed employment and workplace democracy. Guaranteed employment would provide security and eliminate poverty while providing everyone with the social and self-respect of being a productive member of society. Measures to bring about worker ownership and control of their firms would bring freedom and democracy to the workplace. Both reforms conform to cherished values while preserving capitalism’s two principal institutions of private property and markets.&nbsp;Jon D. Wisman
