  Markets of Pain - Opium...

  For centuries, opium has been a source of both profit and peril, its legacy entangled with addiction, imperialism, and the complex interplay of global trade and national development. While the illicit opium trade is infamous, the history of licit opium has remained largely untold.Markets of Pain traces the global arc of licit opium from poppy fields and processing plants to the clinics and laboratories of modern medicine. It shows how both the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic treated the opium poppy as a national resource. In postcolonial India, nationalist leaders initially rejected opium's imperial legacy before embracing its strategic value. At the heart of this story are the cultivators, scientists, bureaucrats, and policymakers who shaped the licit opium trade and grappled with its far-reaching consequences. Their work and visions demonstrate how colonial empires and postcolonial states helped forge the global pharmaceutical industry as it struggled to govern a drug it could not abandon.Markets of Pain reveals how a seemingly marginal crop became an unlikely engine of modernization, a tool of Cold War geopolitics, and a harbinger of today's global opioid crisis. Benjamin Robert Siegel recovers a buried history with urgent relevance for global supply chains, international power, and public health.

  Only Tradies Improve Reliability...

  In every workshop and on every job site, one truth determines whether equipment thrives or fails: reliability built by tradies who take pride in their work. But in too many workplaces, that pride is buried under weak culture, rushed decisions, and invisible standards that slowly erode both performance and job satisfaction. 
  In Only Tradies Improve Reliability, Gerard Wood—former tradie, maintenance leader, and author of Simplifying Mining Maintenance—reveals the practical, culture-driven routines that transform ordinary maintenance teams into reliability powerhouses. Drawing on four decades of real-world experience, he shows leaders and tradies how to build a culture of reliability: one where quality becomes visible, accountability becomes natural, and reliability improves faster than any technical program could. 
  This book will show you: 
  •	Why most failures aren’t caused by tradies who “don’t know” or “don’t care,” but by tradies who are in a culture where they “don’t see.” And how to fix it permanently through simple routines that sharpen the eye for quality. 
  •	How leaders create the culture, and why no reliability strategy works unless the tradies executing it feel ownership, pride, and trust. 
  •	How tradies can dramatically improve their satisfaction and impact—even in tough workplaces—by focusing on quality, feedback, and craftsmanship. 
  •	Why proactive maintenance is always cheaper, easier, and more fulfilling than the chaos caused by allowing small defects to become large breakdowns. 
  Only Tradies Improve Reliability is more than a maintenance book. It’s a blueprint for restoring respect, pride, and craftsmanship in the trades—and for building workplaces where reliability improves quickly, costs fall naturally, and people genuinely want to stay.

  In a world increasingly run by algorithms and artificial intelligence, Hatim Rahman traces how organizations are using algorithms to control workers in an "invisible cage." 
   
   
    
  Inside the Invisible Cage uses unique longitudinal data to investigate how digital labor platforms use algorithms to dictate the actions of high-skilled workers by determining accepted behaviors, work opportunities, and even success. As Hatim Rahman explains, employers can use algorithms to shift rules and guidelines without notice, explanation, or recourse for workers. The invisible cage signals a profound shift in the way markets and organizations categorize and ultimately control people. 
   
   
    
  Unlike previous forms of labor control, the invisible cage is ubiquitous, yet it is also opaque and shifting, which makes breaking free from it difficult for workers. This book traces how the invisible cage was developed over time and the implications it has for the spread of new technology, such as generative artificial intelligence. Inside the Invisible Cage also provides organizations, workers, and policymakers with insights on how to ensure the future of work has truly equitable, mutually beneficial outcomes.
