In the first intellectual history of neoliberal globalism, author Quinn Slobodian follows a group of thinkers from the ashes of the Habsburg Empire to the creation of the World Trade Organization to show that neoliberalism emerged less to shrink government and abolish regulations than to redeploy them at a global level.

The IMF and World Bank were created to help countries survive financial crises and to help them develop into prosperous economic actors. But their 75-year track record shows the opposite: their loans and structural adjustment policies have plunged poor countries into impossibly large debt traps and forced the Third World to focus on producing goods for consumption in the West, instead of growing consumption and industry at home.

A map of the globe shows the world we think we know: sovereign nations that grant and restrict their citizens’ rights. Beneath, above, and tucked inside their borders, however, another universe has been engineered into existence. It consists of thousands of extraterritorial zones that operate largely autonomously, and increasingly for the benefit of the wealthy and powerful.

Barreras y distancias van quedando atrás. Día a día vivimos interconectados con los demás habitantes del mundo a través de un chat, una red social, una compra electrónica, una venta de productos nativos, una clase virtual o un club de fans oficial. Estamos sumergidos, sin querer, en un proceso que no termina y lo llamamos globalización. Sin embargo, este fenómeno que nos interconecta trae consigo una serie de retos y desafíos que afectan el modelo económico, el comercio mundial y los patrones de convivencia tal cual los conocemos.

Globalisierungseffekte und Bevölkerungsrückgang wirken sich auch auf unsere sozialen Bindungen aus: Sie werden wie ein kostbarer Rohstoff immer knapper werden und bewegen sich bereits heute in manchen Regionen auf ein nie gekanntes Minimum zu...

In this third edition of Border Games, Peter Andreas charts the rise and transformation in policing the flow of drugs and migrants across the US-Mexico border. Recent border crackdowns and wall-building campaigns, he argues, are not unprecedented. Rather, they are the outcome of an escalatory dynamic already in motion—but now played out on a far bigger stage, with higher stakes, and in new security and political contexts. Focusing on the power of symbolic politics and policy feedback effects, Andreas traces the logic behind such buildup.

It's not always easy to grasp the complex forces that are shaping our lives. But by following a dollar on its journey around the globe, we can start to piece it all together. From a shopping trip in suburban Texas, via China's central bank, Nigerian railroads, the oilfields of Iraq and beyond, The Almighty Dollar reveals the economic truths behind what we see on the news every day. Why is China the world's biggest manufacturer—and the USA its biggest customer? Is free trade really a good thing? Why would a nation build a bridge on the other side of the planet?

Vor einigen Jahren begann Ray Dalio beunruhigende politische und wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen zu bemerken, denen er in seiner 50-jährigen Karriere noch nie zuvor begegnet war. Auf der Suche nach einer Erklärung entdeckte er, dass solche Kombinationen von Bedingungen charakteristisch für Perioden des Übergangs sind, in denen sich Reichtum und Macht in einer Weise verschoben, die die Weltordnung neu gestaltete.

In June 2020, prominent business and political leaders gathered for the fiftieth annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, under the rubric of "The Great Reset." In the words of WEF founder Klaus Schwab, the Great Reset is a "unique window of opportunity" afforded by the worldwide COVID-19 panic to build "a new social contract" ushering in a utopian era of economic, social, and environmental justice. But beneath their lofty and inspiring words, what are their actual plans?

Wieso unterwerfen wir uns den Zielen von Technologieführern, die wir nicht gewählt haben, und denken, dabei handele es sich um Fortschritt?, fragen die zwei MIT-Professoren und Bestsellerautoren Daron Acemoglu und Simon Johnson. Die verbesserte Landwirtschaft im Mittelalter, später die industrielle Revolution und heute die künstliche Intelligenz - im Laufe der Geschichte wurde der technologische Wandel stets als Haupttriebkraft für das Gemeinwohl angesehen.

Schauen wir uns heute das Internet kurz an, dieses Ding, über das wir heute unsere Daten übertragen oder mit anderen teilen. Es ist im Grunde nichts anderes als eine Datenautobahn, auf der über ein Protokoll, das man Regeln oder Gesetze nennen könnte, Daten transportiert werden, so wie LKWs Waren und Güter von A nach B transportieren.
