Eighteen years after the genocide that made Rwanda international news, yet left it all but abandoned by the West, the country has achieved a miraculous turnaround. Rising out of the complete devastation of a failed state, Rwanda has emerged on the world stage yet again - this time with a unique model for governance and economic development under the leadership of its strong and decisive president, Paul Kagame. Here, Patricia Crisafulli and Andrea Redmond look at Kagame’s leadership.

Art today is defined by its relationship to money as never before. Prices of living artists' works have been driven to unprecedented heights, conventional boundaries within the art world have collapsed, and artists now think ever more strategically about how to advance their careers.

Noah Horowitz exposes the inner workings of the contemporary art market, explaining how this unique economy came to be, how it works, and where it's headed.

We Sell Drugs is a study grounded in the transnational geography and political economy of the coca-leaf and coca-derived commodities market stretching from Peru and Bolivia into the United States. More than a narrow biography of one famous plant and its equally famous derivative products - Coca-Cola and cocaine - this audiobook situates these commodities within the larger landscape of drug production and consumption. Examining efforts to control the circuits through which coca traveled, Suzanna Reiss provides a geographic and legal basis for considering the historical construction of designations of legality and illegality.

The book also argues that the legal status of any given drug is largely premised on who grew, manufactured, distributed, and consumed it and not on the qualities of the drug itself. Drug control is a powerful tool for ordering international trade, national economies, and society's habits and daily lives. In a historical landscape animated by struggles over political economy, national autonomy, hegemony, and racial equality, We Sell Drugs insists on the socio-historical underpinnings of designations of legality to explore how drug control became a major weapon in asserting control of domestic and international affairs.

Robert Conquest has been called by Paul Johnson "our greatest living modern historian".

Graced with one of the most acute gifts for political prescience since Orwell, Conquest assigns responsibility for our century’s cataclysms not to impersonal economic or social forces but to the distorted ideologies of revolutionary Marxism and National Socialism.

Se a partire dal 2001 tutti parlavano dei Paesi BRIC - Brasile, Russia, India e Cina - come dei nuovi motori rombanti dell'economia mondiale, dopo il loro recente rallentamento si è cominciato a parlare di MINT, un acronimo che mette assieme Messico, Indonesia, Nigeria e Turchia, definendoli come i nuovi giganti emergenti dell'economia mondiale. Perché proprio Messico, Indonesia, Nigeria e Turchia? Cosa hanno di speciale questi quattro paesi per aver attirato l'interesse degli operatori economici di tutto il mondo?

I paradisi fiscali sono paesi o aree specifiche che offrono alle persone fisiche e alle aziende straniere un carico fiscale minimo, tassi sui depositi in banca ridottissimi e un ambiente politico ed economico stabile, in grado di garantire che non vengano fornite informazioni rilevanti alle autorità fiscali straniere.
