The End of Reality
At a time when multiple crises are compounding to create epic inequality, four billionaires are hyping schemes that are designed to divert our attention away from issues that really matter. Each scheme - from the metaverse to cryptocurrency, space travel and transhumanism - is an existential threat in moral, political, and economic terms. In 'The End of Reality', Jonathan Taplin shines a light on the enormous cultural power of Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreessen, questioning whether we want our society to be run by people who don't like to be hugged or receive blood transfusions to stay young.

I Shop, Therefore I Am
It's the 1990s: Britpop is dominating the charts, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell stare out from the cover of every glossy magazine and British fashion is ripe for reinvention. Leading the charge is a twenty-something Mary Portas who has been brought in to revitalise the department store Harvey Nichols, at the time more likely to be associated with dowagers than daring designers. With department stores in decline and an alpha male leadership team watching closely, the pressure is immense: make it profitable and make it relevant. By the millennium, the store would be renowned for its outrageous, headline-grabbing, traffic-stopping window displays; patronage by style icon Lady Di and Bolly-swigging duo Patsy and Edina of the iconic sitcom Ab Fab - no longer fusty old Harvey Nichols but Harvey Nicks, daaarling! This title is the story of how Mary Portas did it.

The Economic Government of the World
This is the history of the institutions and individuals who have managed the global economy, from the World Monetary and Economic Conference in the wake of the Great Depression to the present, as leading nations tackle the fall-out from Covid-19 and the threats of inflation, food security, and climate change. Since the Second World War, organizations created at Bretton Woods - the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development - and afterwards - the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development - have left an indelible mark on our contemporary world. Martin Daunton examines the swings of the pendulum over ninety years between the forces of democracy, national self-determination and globalization.

The Tesla Files
A whistleblower. A 100BG-leak of confidential internal documents. This is the story of the fight to expose the truth of Tesla. Elon Musk is one of the wealthiest people in the world. Tesla made him a 300-times billionaire. Starlink turned him into a force in global conflicts. X became his personal megaphone, stoking political turmoil at the touch of a button. With SpaceX, he aims to conquer the stars. But a whistleblower, a 100GB-leak of confidential Tesla documents and two investigative journalists reveal the frightening truth behind the faade: an unusually high number of workplace accidents in Musk's factories, dangerous errors in Tesla's autopilot software, a culture of fear and deception, and countless broken promises.

On the Edge
In the bestselling 'The Signal and the Noise', Nate Silver showed how forecasting would define the age of Big Data. Now, in this timely book, Silver investigates 'The River,' or those whose mastery of risk allows them to shape - and dominate - so much of modern life. These professional risk takers - poker players and hedge fund managers, crypto true-believers and blue-chip art collectors - can teach us much about navigating the uncertainty of the 21st century. By embedding within these worlds, Silver offers insight into a range of issues that affect us all, from the frontiers of finance to the future of AI. The River has increasing amounts of wealth and power in our society, and understanding their mindset - including the flaws in their thinking - is key to understanding what drives technology and the global economy today.

The Ride of a Lifetime
The CEO of The Walt Disney Company shares the ideas and values he has used to reinvent one of the most beloved companies in the world, and inspire the people who bring the magic to life. In 2005, Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company during a difficult time. Morale had deteriorated, competition was more intense, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company's history. 'I knew there was nothing to be gained from arguing over the past', Iger writes. 'The only thing that mattered was the future, and I believed I had a clear idea of the direction Disney needed to go'. It came down to three clear ideas: (1) Create the highest quality content Disney could produce. (2) Embrace and adopt technology instead of fighting it. And (3) Think bigger - think global - and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.

What Went Wrong With Capitalism
What went wrong with capitalism? Ruchir Sharma's explanation is unlike any you have heard before. Progressives are partly right when they mock modern capitalism as 'socialism for the rich,' but what really happened in recent decades is that government in developed nations expanded in just about every measurable dimension, from spending and regulation to the sheer scale of its rescues each time the economy wobbled. The result, Sharma says, is 'socialized risk,' expensive government guarantees, for everyone - welfare for the poor, entitlements for the middle class, and bailouts for the rich.

Left Behind
Left behind places can be found in prosperous countries - from South Yorkshire, integral to the industrial revolution and now England's poorest county, to Barranquilla, once Colombia's portal to the Caribbean and now struggling. More alarmingly, the poorest countries in the world are diverging further from the rest of humanity. Why have these places fallen further behind? And what can we do about it? World-renowned development economist Paul Collier has spent his life working in neglected communities. In this book he offers his candid diagnosis of why some regions and countries are falling further behind, and a new vision for how they can catch up. Collier lays the blame for widening inequality on stale economic orthodoxies that prioritize market forces and centralized bureaucracies like the UK Treasury.

Empty vessel
Here is a history of the world economy over the last fifty years told through the life of a single ship. Capitalism. International law. Imperial decline. National sovereignty. Inflation. Gentrification. Mass incarceration. Busts. Racism. Greed. 'Empty Vessel' is the story of globalism in one boat. First built as a Swedish offshore oil rig in the 1970s, it went on to house British soldiers in the Falklands War in the 1980s, prisoners from Riker's Island in New York's East River in the 1990s,Volkswagen factory employees in Germany in the 2000s, and Nigerian oil workers off the coast of Africa in the 2010s. In each of its lives it arrived as an empty vessel, filled at the behest of both public and private interests, for purposes of war, incarceration, and commerce - connecting people thousands of miles apart, all shaped by the same global economic transformations.

The road to freedom
Despite its manifest failures, the narrative of neoliberalism retains its grip on the public mind and the policies of governments all over the world. Taking on giants of neoliberalism such as Hayek and Friedman and examining how public opinion is formed, Stiglitz reclaims the language of freedom from the right to show that far from 'free' - unregulated - markets promoting growth and enterprise, they in fact reduce it, lessening economic opportunities for majorities and siphoning wealth from the many to the few - both individuals and countries.
