Die Finanzkrise 2008 erschütterte die Grundfesten unseres Finanzsystems. Die monetären, die sozialen und die politischen Auswirkungen spüren wir bis heute. Die beispiellosen Rettungsorgien von EZB & Co. sowie ein historisch einmaliges Notenbankexperiment dauerhafter Nullzinsen enteignen Sparer, Kleinanleger und Versicherungsnehmer. Eine gigantische Steuer- und Abgabenlast raubt der Mittelschicht jeden finanziellen Spielraum. Parallel wird neuerdings noch über Enteignungen nachgedacht - und diese werden kommen.

Da più di sessant'anni è, insieme al Wto e alla Banca mondiale - le altre due organizzazioni nate dagli accordi di Bretton Woods nel 1944 -, un pilastro dell'ordine economico internazionale. Ne sono prova gli interventi messi in atto dal Fondo monetario in molti paesi per fronteggiare la crisi dei mutui subprime, e il sostegno fornito alla Grecia, che nel maggio 2010 ha rischiato una bancarotta dello stato.

Sorto nel 1995 per governare e sviluppare il commercio internazionale, considerato un fattore chiave della crescita in tutti i paesi, già nel 1999 il WTO è il principale bersaglio della protesta no global che esplode a Seattle e mette sotto accusa la sua politica di liberalizzazione. Ma come funziona realmente il WTO? Come vengono prese le decisioni al suo interno e qual è il suo ruolo nelle controversie commerciali tra i vari paesi?

Diciamoci la verità, l'italiano medio si è accorto che i cinesi potrebbero diventare padroni a casa nostra quando i due blasoni del calcio milanese e nazionale sono passati in mani cinesi. Ma pochi sanno, tranne gli addetti ai lavori, chi sia Zhang Jindong, il nuovo proprietario dell'Inter, o Yonghong Li, il magnate che ha preso il posto di Berlusconi alla guida del Milan. Sempre in pochi hanno capito se l'acquisto della Pirelli sia un vantaggio per noi o per il colosso statale ChemChina.

During his life and even after his death, Captain William Kidd’s name was known around England and the American colonies. He was infamous for the very crime for which he was hanged, piracy. This book by Rebecca Simon dives into the details of the two-year manhunt for Captain Kidd and the events that ensued afterward. Captain Kidd was hanged in 1701, and from that sprung a massive hunt for all pirates led by the British during a period known as the Golden Age of Piracy. Ironically, public executions only led to pirates’ growth in popularity and interest.

Corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and acting ethically are all accepted business aims, but their meaning and implementation in a global context is far less clear-cut. Global Business Ethics cuts through the confusion to provide a coherent basis for ethical decision-making within the complications of the international business landscape.

This Very Short Introduction introduces listeners to the dimensions of the Russian economy that are often ignored by the media, or exaggerated and misunderstood. In doing so, it shows how Russia's economy is one of global significance, and helps explain why many of Russia's enduring features, such as the heavy hand of the state and the emphasis on military-industrial production, have persisted despite the immense changes that took place after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991. 

In The Age of Intoxication, Benjamin Breen offers a window into a time when drugs were not yet separated into categories - illicit and licit, recreational and medicinal, modern and traditional - and there was no barrier between the drug dealer and the pharmacist. 

When journalist and traveler Kelsey Timmerman wanted to know where his clothes came from and who made them, he began a journey that would take him from Honduras to Bangladesh to Cambodia to China and back again.

Based on extensive interviews with conservative opponents of the president, Robert P. Saldin and Steven M. Teles reveal why such a wide range of committed partisans chose to break with their longtime comrades in arms. 

In Secondhand, Adam Minter delves into the vast, multibillion-dollar industry that resells used stuff around the world. He follows the trail of unwanted objects from the closets, garages, and storage units of Middle America to epic used-goods markets in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Ghana, India, Malaysia, and beyond. Secondhand takes us through the often painful and heartbreaking process of cleaning out a lifetime’s worth of possessions and shows that used stuff still has a place in a world that values the new and shiny.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) began in 1995, but even in the first 10 years of its existence it generated debate, controversy, and even outrage. Rulings on beef hormones and tuna-dolphin cases provide graphic examples of how the organization regulates and intrudes into areas of individual consumer choice, ethical preferences, and cultural habits. This deep and far-ranging impact of the WTO on peoples' everyday lives means that it is not just an institution of interest to economists, but to everyone.

The Chinese government has more control over more wealth than any other government in world history. With the Communist Party controlling the "commanding heights" of the world's second-largest economy, China appears ideally structured to pursue economic statecraft, using economic resources to advance its foreign policy goals. Yet as this book shows, domestic complications frequently constrain Chinese leaders. They have responded with a distinctive approach to economic statecraft: orchestration.

All the experts agree: The 21st century belongs to China.

Written by political economist and leading financial journalist James Gorrie, this audiobook offers a highly controversial, contrarian view of contemporary China.
