The Wealth of Nations

For senior leaders whose strong record no longer settles the question being asked about them. Former global C-suite executive and executive coach Azhar Syed explains why strong performance stops being enough for senior advancement—and what changes when it does. Senior leaders are often surprised when the qualities that built their careers no longer move them forward. They deliver strong results, develop deep expertise, make important contributions, and earn support from influential people, yet they still are not chosen for broader responsibility. Syed identifies 6 familiar metrics leaders use to make the case for advancement: <ul><li>Results: “Look What I Have Delivered”</li><li>Expertise: “Look What I Know”</li><li>Personal Contribution: “Look What I Do”</li><li>Judgment: “Look How Right I Am”</li><li>Sponsorship: “Look Who Backs Me”</li><li>Reputation: “Look How I Have Changed”</li></ul> Each metric reflects a real way of creating value. But none, by itself, fully answers the question senior decision-makers are trying to resolve: Can this leader be trusted with greater risk, broader consequences, and decisions that affect the whole organization? Syed explains why becoming indispensable can keep a leader tied to a current role, why being right does not establish judgment at a wider radius unless others can test and carry the decision, why a powerful sponsor cannot make an appointment defensible on the leader’s behalf, and why genuine change may go unnoticed by the people whose expectations matter. Readers will learn what broader responsibility asks of them, what their record currently establishes, what decision-makers may reasonably infer, and how to distinguish between a gap they can address and a barrier embedded in the organization. Clear and candid, this book helps senior leaders understand why their established evidence may no longer settle the next decision—and what their record needs to establish before others can confidently trust them with more.

Success and Failure on the World's Last Developmental Frontier: Longlisted for the FT Business Book of the Year

How Africa Works

*A New York Times Notable Book * A Financial Times Best Book of the Year 'A learned, formidable and vivid story... Readers around the world will study and ponder this monumental work of history, agreeing and arguing with it, all the while affirming its generational importance, for decades to come' The New York Times 'Epic... Read this book and you will learn innumerable things you did not previously know culled from places you have never been' Financial Times A brilliant global narrative that unravels the defining story of the past thousand years No other phenomenon has shaped human history as decisively as capitalism. It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organise our politics. Sven Beckert situates the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework in this fascinating new book.Capitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from merchant communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, capitalism's radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. Then it burst onto the world scene, as European states and merchants built a powerful alliance that would propel them across the oceans. This epic drama corresponded at no point to an idealised dream of free markets. All along, state-backed institutions and imperial expansions shaped its dynamics.Capitalism decentres the European perspective, highlighting agency, resistance, innovation and ruthless coercion around the world through to the present with the rise of Asian economies, particularly China. Sven Beckert doesn't merely add up capitalism's debits and credits in this monumental book, but allows us to think afresh about the past to help us re-imagine the future.

Burnout can’t be solved with just perks or stress-reduction workshops. It's solved by changing how leaders engage their teams—a practical shift that requires no new resources. Grounded in peer-reviewed research, Relational Energy shows leaders how small changes in everyday workplace conversations can spark energy, revive exhausted teams, and build workplaces where people thrive. Every leader is dealing with burnout and looking for something they can actually do tomorrow morning, and this is it. In this book, leadership scholar Amy Young, with Kim Cameron, reveals how everyday communication creates relational energy, the powerful force that fuels engagement, creativity, resilience, health and well-being, and performance across teams. Drawing on interviews with energizing leaders and weaving in supporting peer-reviewed research, Young unlocks the secrets to thriving amid uncertainty and disruption due to AI automation, fragile labor markets, cultural divisiveness, and relentless workplace demands. Through vivid real-world examples, you'll discover how energizing leaders sustain their own vitality while lifting their teams at the same time, simply by rethinking how they approach everyday conversations. You'll learn how to turn those ordinary interactions into extraordinary ones, providing a practical, no-cost antidote to workplace stress and burnout. In this book, you will learn <ul><li>how relational energy promotes workplace well-being and performance, creating the foundation for sustainable organizational success;</li><li>strategies energizing leaders use to maintain their own energy levels while navigating the same modern workplace pressures that impact their teams;</li><li>how to have workplace conversations that generate healthy perceptions of challenge and stress and reduce burnout while building resilience and team solidarity;</li><li>specific language choices (wording, pronoun selection, questions, and declarative statements) that empower employees, elevate teams, and drive productivity; and</li><li>how to acknowledge hard realities while building genuine hope and resilience, avoiding toxic positivity that saps energy.</li></ul> Practical, research driven, and immediately applicable, Relational Energy shows leaders how small changes in language can create extraordinary impact, recharging people, teams, and entire organizations.

The Handbook for Making Better Decisions Faster

Decide in an Hour

'Michael Auerbach has one of the most original minds I've ever encountered . . . This is a dazzling and entertaining book . . . But it is also an urgent warning' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE, author of Empire of Pain A brilliant exploration of the phenomenon of prediction markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? Prediction markets are sweeping the world, fundamentally changing the nature of gambling - and the very ways in which we attempt to divine the future. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction markets allow any difference of opinion - whether on pop culture or politics, wars or assassinations - to be financialised. A regulatory minefield with moral implications that divide nations, governments and bettors, they have proved as effective at accurately predicting the timing of missile strikes as they have at calling the outcomes of elections.But are these markets really a new phenomenon? And what does it mean when those tasked with safeguarding democracy hold financial stakes in its volatility?From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through nineteenth-century London's wartime coffee house gossip, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange and blockchain-based betting on Polymarket today, The Big Bet tells the gripping five-hundred-year story of a permissive regime that 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 where democracy becomes just another commodity to be priced and traded. Because prediction markets 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 where everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

Most of us think about money every day. But how many of us know how it actually works?Every morning, someone unassumingly types numbers into a spreadsheet, hits enter and creates millions of pounds. Somewhere deep underground, a machine most of us will never see props up the entire British economy. And hidden in a vault nearby are individual banknotes worth £100 million each. These are just some of the surprising truths about how money works.The Bank of England know more about the money system than most - after all, it is their job to keep it running smoothly. Now, for the first time, two of its economists take you deep into their vaults to tell you the inside story of money.They explain how ordinary banks are able to create money from scratch, and what stops that descending into chaos. They explore what causes inflation and why one country tried to solve rising prices by asking its citizens to cut all banknotes in half. They uncover how a baby hippo briefly became a global currency, and what that says about the future of money. And they reveal what goes on inside the Bank of England during a banking crisis, and why it means your money is safer now than ever before.Along the way, they explore how money is changing today - and what new technologies like crypto mean for its future. The result is a lively and surprising guide to how money is supposed to work, what happens when it doesn't, and where it might be going next.

The Surprising Truth About How Money Works

Money: The Inside Story

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive study of the earliest, missionary-mediated translations of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations in late Qing China (1840-1895). Moving beyond the iconic 1902 translation by Yan Fu, it uncovers a formative half-century of conceptual co-production when Western missionaries and Chinese literati collaboratively refracted Smithian ideas. Through meticulous analysis of neglected texts, the book demonstrates how selective excerpting and the traditional hermeneutic strategy of ge-yi ("concept matching") forged a hybrid economic lexicon. This process embedded core concepts such as value, labor, and wealth within indigenous discourses of state strength (fuqiang, ¿¿, fù qiáng, "seeking wealth and power"), creating a mediated "first Wealth of Nations" for China.Methodologically bridging Translation Studies, Conceptual History, and Global History of Economic Thought, this work offers a new model for analyzing the transnational journey of canonical texts. It resolves the longstanding gap in understanding how Smith's foundational ideas were initially made accessible and relevant in a non-Western context. Timely in this 250th anniversary of Smith's masterpiece, the book reshapes understanding of the origins of modern Chinese economic thought and the global circulation of economic knowledge.

Missionary Mediations and the Making of Economic Discourse, (1840-1895)

The First “Wealth of Nations” in China

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet?This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement.Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature.Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.
