A unique illustrated exploration of the development of finance that combines data from every part of the world and covers five thousand years of history   From the emergence of money in the ancient world to today’s interconnected landscape of high-frequency trading and cryptocurrency, the story of finance has always taken place on an international stage. Finance is one of the most globalized and networked of human activities, and one of the most important social technologies ever invented.   This volume, the first visually based book dedicated to finance, uses graphics and maps to bring the complex and abstract world of finance down to earth, showing how geography is fundamental for understanding finance, and vice versa. It illuminates the people—including Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes—who have shaped our thinking about global finance; brings to life the ways that place-specific histories, laws, regulations, and institutions influence finance; shows how finance relates to innovation, globalization, and environmental change; and details how finance plays a key part in drawing the landscape of uneven development, inequality, and instability.   The Atlas of Finance, with word and image, will change the way you view both your money and your world.

"It's an open secret that voters in smaller, less populous states have more electoral power than their urban counterparts, so why are these same voters the most eager to leave behind democratic principles? ... Thomas Schaller and Paul Waldman explore why, with all of this extra influence, these same voters fail to see real benefits, for instance suffering worse health and education outcomes than larger states, and why they are the most likely to rage against the democratic project the moment elections stop going their way. This is the patriotic paradox of rural America: the rural citizens who take such pride in their patriotism are least likely to defend core American principles, even when the system itself is set up in their favor"--

Julian Schnabel macht Kunst aus dem Leben und findet seine Materialien in der Struktur des Alltags. Er verwendet zerbrochene Teller als unpraktischen Bildgrund, malt auf Samt, Planen von Marktständen und Armeefahrzeugen, Kabuki-Theaterkulissen oder dem Boden eines Boxrings - Oberflächen, die ihre jeweils eigene Geschichte in das Bild mit einbringen. Der Erfolg kam für Schnabel über Nacht mit seiner ersten New Yorker Einzelausstellung im Jahr 1979 und seitdem ist sein Name ein Synonym für die Rückkehr der totgesagten Gattung der Malerei in die zeitgenössische Kunst. Dabei hat er in einer Vielzahl von Medien gearbeitet: Seine Skulpturen erweitern die malerischen Formen der Bilder als grob gehauene, scheinbar abgenutzte Artefakte in den Raum. Als Regisseur von preisgekrönten Kinofilmen portraitiert er Künstler wie Basquiat, van Gogh und andere subtil-heroische Figuren. Und er baut seinen eigenen Traum von einem venezianischen Palast mitten in New York. "Ich möchte, dass mein Leben in meinem Werk steckt, komprimiert in meiner Malerei wie ein Auto in einer Schrottpresse. Sonst wäre meine Arbeit nur irgendwelches Zeugs", sagt Julian Schnabel. Diese Dringlichkeit zieht sich durch sein Schaffen, ganz gleich, welche Mittel oder Medien der Künstler wählt. Jetzt als unlimitierte Ausgabe erhältlich, stellt diese TASCHEN-Monografie die ganze Palette von Schnabels Arbeiten vor. Das Buch wurde in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Künstler geschaffen. Die Texte steuern Freunde, Kuratoren und Kunsthistoriker bei, mit denen Schnabel schon zuvor an Projekten gearbeitet hat: Laurie Anderson zeichnet ein vertrauliches Porträt des Künstlers; Éric de Chassey widmet sich den Gemälden, Bonnie Clearwater den Skulpturen und Max Hollein der ortsspezifischen Arbeit; Donatien Grau schreibt über den Palazzo Chupi, das vom Künstler selbst entworfene Haus im New Yorker West Village; der Schriftsteller Daniel Kehlmann taucht in das filmische Werk ein. Mit diesen Texten und hochwertigen Werkabbildungen macht das Buch Schnabels Kunst auf eine direkte Weise erlebbar, wie es sonst nur in der persönlichen Begegnung mit den Werken möglich ist.

From the acclaimed authors of the runaway New York Times bestseller 2034 comes another explosive work of speculative fiction set twenty years further in the future, at a moment when a radical leap forward in artificial intelligence combines with Americäs violent partisan divide to create an existential threat to the country ¿ and the worldIt is twenty years after the catastrophic war between the US and China that brought down the old American political order. A new party has emerged in the US, one that¿s held power for over a decade. Efforts to tighten its grip have resulted in mounting violent resistance. The American president has control of the media, but he is beginning to lose control of the streets. Many fear he¿ll stop at nothing to remain in the White House. Suddenly, he collapses in the middle of an address to the nation. After an initial flurry of misinformation, the administration reluctantly announces his death. A cover-up ensues, conspiracy theories abound, and the country descends into a new type of civil war.A handful of elite actors from the worlds of computer science, intelligence and business have a fairly good idea what happened. All signs point to a profound breakthrough in AI, of which the remote assassination of an American president is hardly the most game-changing ramification. The trail leads to an outpost in the Amazon rainforest, the last known whereabouts of the tech visionary who predicted this breakthrough. As some of the world¿s great powers, old and new, state and non-state alike, struggle to outmanoeuvre one another in this new Great Game of scientific discovery, the outcome becomes entangled with the fate of democracy.Combining a deep understanding of AI, biotech and the possibility of a coming Singularity, along with their signature geopolitical sophistication, Elliot Ackerman and Admiral James Stavridis have once again written a visionary work. 2054 is a novel that reads like a thriller even as it demands that we consider the trajectory of our society and its potentially calamitous destination.

From the New York Times bestselling author, the fascinating story of U.S. economic policy from Kennedy to Biden--filled with lessons for today In this book, Alan Blinder, one of the world's most influential economists and one of the field's best writers, draws on his deep firsthand experience to provide an authoritative account of sixty years of monetary and fiscal policy in the United States. Spanning twelve presidents, from John F. Kennedy to Joe Biden, and eight Federal Reserve chairs, from William McChesney Martin to Jerome Powell, this is an insider's story of macroeconomic policy that hasn't been told before--one that is a pleasure to read, and as interesting as it is important. Focusing on the most significant developments and long-term changes, Blinder traces the highs and lows of monetary and fiscal policy, which have by turns cooperated and clashed through many recessions and several long booms over the past six decades. From the fiscal policy of Kennedy's New Frontier to Biden's responses to the pandemic, the book takes readers through the stagflation of the 1970s, the conquest of inflation under Jimmy Carter and Paul Volcker, the rise of Reaganomics, and the bubbles of the 2000s before bringing the story up through recent events--including the financial crisis, the Great Recession, and monetary policy during COVID-19. A lively and concise narrative that is sure to become a classic, A Monetary and Fiscal History of the United States, 1961-2021 is filled with vital lessons for anyone who wants to better understand where the economy has been--and where it might be headed.

With a foreword by Shirin Ebadi, Nobel Peace Prize winner 'A must-read for anyone concerned with human rights in Iran. A gripping, moving and utterly shocking account.' Kylie Moore-Gilbert New introductions written by Shannon Woodcock and Nayereh Tohidi Extended solitary confinement has been condemned as a severe violation of human rights. Yet it is still widely used in Iranian prisons. In White Torture, thirteen women, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, share their experiences of imprisonment: harassment and beatings by guards, total blindfolding and denial of medical treatment. Angry interrogators threaten their families and lie about their whereabouts. One prisoner is even told she is dead. None of the women have committed crimes they are prisoners of conscience or held hostage as bargaining chips. Through psychological torture, the Iranian state hopes to remake their souls. These interviews, carried out while each woman was in prison or facing charges, are astounding documents of resistance and integrity. White Torture unveils the rot at the heart of the Iranian legal system and calls on us to act for change.
