Robinson Crusoe's Money - The Remarkable Financial Fortunes and Misfortunes of a Remote Island Community

David Ames Wells

Sinopse

In "Robinson Crusoe's Money," David Ames Wells explores the intricate relationship between economics and literature, drawing on Daniel Defoe's iconic character, Robinson Crusoe. Through a blend of narrative analysis and economic theory, Wells engages with the themes of self-sufficiency, capitalism, and consumerism as experienced by Crusoe on his isolated island. The book showcases Wells's unique literary style, infusing academic rigor with accessible prose, compelling readers to reconsider Defoe's work within the context of 19th-century economic thought and the rise of individualism in capitalist societies. David Ames Wells was a prominent economist and social reformer in the 19th century, known for his insights into taxation and educational reform. His background in both economics and literature provided him a unique lens through which to interpret Defoe'Äôs work. Drawing from his experiences and the socio-economic currents of his time, Wells sheds light on how Crusoe's financial autonomy parallels broader societal shifts toward individual wealth and autonomy, thereby illustrating how literature can inform economic understanding. This book is essential for scholars of literature and economics alike, as it invites readers to engage with familiar texts in innovative ways. Wells's arguments challenge conventional interpretations and enrich discussions about the role of literature in shaping economic ideologies, making "Robinson Crusoe's Money" a crucial text for anyone interested in the intersections of these fields.

Spiderweb Capitalism - How...

Kimberly Kay Hoang

In 2015, the anonymous leak of the Panama Papers brought to light millions of financial and legal documents exposing how the superrich hide their money using complex webs of offshore vehicles. Spiderweb Capitalism takes you inside this shadow economy, uncovering the mechanics behind the invisible, mundane networks of lawyers, accountants, company secretaries, and fixers who facilitate the illicit movement of wealth across borders and around the globe. 
 
 
 
Kimberly Kay Hoang conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews with private wealth managers, fund managers, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, bankers, auditors, and other financial professionals. She traces the flow of capital from offshore funds in places like the Cayman Islands, Samoa, and Panama to special-purpose vehicles and holding companies in Singapore and Hong Kong, and how it finds its way into risky markets onshore in Vietnam and Myanmar. Hoang reveals the strategies behind spiderweb capitalism and examines the moral dilemmas of making money in legal, financial, and political gray zones. 
 
 
 
Spiderweb Capitalism sheds critical light on how global elites capitalize on risky frontier markets, and deepens our understanding of the paradoxical ways in which global economic growth is sustained through states where the line separating the legal from the corrupt is not always clear.
