Knott Anne Marie: The US Innovation War
with China

The US Innovation War with China

Bringing a Knife to a Gunfight

The inside story of how Donald Trump sacked and pillaged the U.S. economy.The New York Times's Global Economics Correspondent reveals how Trump has personally profited billions while reducing American business leaders to fawning cronies; burning down the global trade order; undermining faith in the U.S. dollar; eroding the independence of the Federal Reserve; and dismantling regulatory oversight.How did the greatest economy in history devolve into a place where one man claimed the power of a mob boss, determining who wins and who loses, while steering much of the gains to his own family?As 2025 dawned, most American business leaders assumed they could safely ignore the inevitable chaos of Donald Trump's return to the White House. Instead, they have seen their companies shaken by Trump's assault on the global trading system, his attacks on the independence of the Fed, and his menacing of the rule of law itself. He has reduced some of the wealthiest, most powerful people on earth--Jeff Bezos, Jamie Dimon, Jensen Huang--into supplicants seeking his favor.Kiss the Ring tells the story of how Trump adopted the guise of a mob boss, turning the American business world into a protection racket. Wielding tariffs, executive orders, and other armaments of imperial rule, Trump has reconfigured the federal government into an instrument of his personal concerns. He has pulled the levers of authority to enrich himself, his relatives, and his allies while punishing his enemies. And he has done so with the complicity of major business leaders, whose loyalties to shareholders and their own fortunes have outweighed any sense of civic responsibility.Goodman exposes the roles of key people at the center of this extraordinary refashioning of American power: Peter Navarro, Howard Lutnick, Elon Musk, Bezos, and Dimon. It dissects how Trump and his family have personally profited from control of the executive branch. And it explores a fundamental vulnerability for American society as business leaders navigate an inherent conflict between bottom-line concerns and the preservation of democratic norms.Here is how leading executives in a country long celebrated as an exemplar of freedom wound up marching in the parade toward authoritarian rule.

The book Finance in Non-Financial Problems applies the concept of finance to non-financial problems including politics, the market for ideas, social networks, free trade, and the law. The principal objective is to use techniques such as portfolio theory, diversification, options, and market efficiency in areas where they have not previously been used. Finance in Non-Financial Problems is then an interdisciplinary resource applying the techniques of uncertainty to new disciplines, providing a new way to look at old problems, presenting problems in the social sciences with a new perspective, and allowing readers to consider political, legal, and social issues in a new way.

Finance In Non-financial Problems

Economics is vital, but its labyrinth of equations can make it feel disconnected from the real world. Enter a powerful tool: the metaphor.From longtime economics journalist Peter Coy comes an approachable and fun guide to the metaphors that unlock its power. With nearly 500 alphabetized entries, complemented by playful illustrations, Economics Without Numbers demystifies concepts, exploring their origins, the truths they express, and where they fall short. The result is a delightful and original primer on economic ideas and history that's perfect for students and anyone who wants to understand what makes the world go 'round.Coy has spent decades collecting these vivid metaphors. From "trickle-down economics" (the idea that making the rich richer will help the poor) to "inductivist turkey" (a parable about the perils of assuming that a trend will persist without knowing its cause), Coy brings economics to life.

Foundations of Fashion Studies

By the 1940s the New York fashion industry had come into its own. Sportswear, which had evolved from its origins to include simple casual wear for travel, leisure, town and country, was at the centre of this shift. Drawing on an array of sources, this book examines how New York sportswear evolved during the 1930s and 1940s to become the definitive American style. It reveals how designers such as Claire McCardell, Clare Potter and Tina Leser created a fashion identity for New York that was as dynamic and modern as the city itself. Author Rebecca Arnold interrogates the American ideal of athletic, long-limbed women and looks for the first time at how sportswear impacted and was impacted by ideas of patriotism and democracy, as well as its links to notions of cleanliness and hygiene, and to 1930s theories of body image and contemporary dance. As part of the Foundations of Fashion Studies series, this classic text now includes a new foreword by Emma McClendon and a new afterword and further reading list by the author.

How Private Equity Turned Capitalism Against Itself

The Asset Class

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

Bridging finance and geopolitics, this book provides a practical guide to help readers understand and respond to the financial dynamics of global power struggles and the defining challenges of this century. Capital plays a crucial role in explaining the global balance of power that predominates in the present century. Capital Power aims to provide leaders with both the theoretical and practical resources they require to develop policies, build capacities, and execute strategies fit for the global financial arena. By employing a diverse methodological approach, insights from the author's 20 years of experience in both the public and private sector with a core focus on finance, as well as interviews with today's leading political and financial leaders, this book brings a novel perspective and an expanded analytical toolkit to the study of geopolitics. It redefines how we understand financial power in international affairs. Capital Power will encourage readers to think more thoughtfully, consciously, and strategically about the use of finance as a tool of statecraft; the utility of non-traditional conceptions of state power; the strengths and weaknesses of a geofinancial approach; how they can best deploy a country's financial credentials without eroding their foundations; and what this means for state-business relations. It champions a series of detailed policy recommendations and provides a playbook in response to the greatest challenges of this century.

Evolutionary Economics and Social Complexity Science

This is the first book to present a new approach of institutional design as an evolutionary applied policy based on coherent conceptualization and methodology, and to study the actuality and implications of diversifying real/virtual community currencies. In contrast to a de facto standard theory, an institutional ecosystem can be composed of various institutions that continue to coexist with changing relative frequencies. In this view, diversified monetary institutions with local rules are feasible and realistic. Community currencies are worldwide attempts to redress such problems as financial instability, chronic stagnation, and decline of communities caused by globalization of the economy. Considering those alternative movements as a new type of policy, "evolutionist institutional design", this book clarifies the feasibility and significance of community currencies in the current era of globalization. The book also provides a better understanding than mainstream approaches of such platform institutions as money that determine fundamental means of cognition and action of interacting agents. Money is a symbolically generalized communication medium in the mesodomain that mediates between socioeconomic performance and patterns in the macrodomain and motives and cognitive frameworks in the microdomain. Conventional national systems of money and finance are platform institutions that determine basic replicators for a capitalistic market economy to evolve. In contrast, community currencies conveying both economic and social/cultural values are distinct platform institutions that are expected to endogenously change such basic replicators in outer and inner institutions for agents to a noncapitalistic market economy. These currencies are considered target institutions for "media design" in the framework of evolutionist institutional design.

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>

'The Wealth Habit shows how small, well-designed behaviours, repeated consistently, create extraordinary financial outcomes over time.' - Steven Bartlett, The Diary of a CEO Wealth doesn't start with money, it starts with a habit. Most people think that wealth is reserved for the lucky few-those born into privilege, gifted with an entrepreneurial streak, or naturally skilled with money. But the truth is, financial success isn't about luck-it's about habits. The Wealth Habit is a groundbreaking, behaviour-driven approach to wealth-building that rewires the way you think about money, turning financial success into a series of tiny, effortless, repeatable actions. Instead of overwhelming readers with rigid budgets or complex investment strategies, this book reveals how small, daily financial moves compound into life-changing wealth - no matter where you start. Whether you're struggling with money, looking to break free from the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, or searching for a stress-free, automated way to build wealth, this book gives you a clear, habit-based roadmap to make financial success inevitable. Start small. Repeat often. Let the habit lead the way.
