Luxury Goods Depreciation

Summary

Luxury Goods Depreciation explores the fascinating world where some high-end items gain value over time while others rapidly lose it. It examines the key determinants of luxury asset valuation, such as the interplay between intrinsic value, based on materials and craftsmanship, and perceived value, driven by brand reputation and consumer psychology. One surprising insight is how scarcity, whether natural or artificially created, significantly impacts an item's collectibility and long-term value within the luxury market. 

 
The book argues that a complex mix of economic, social, and psychological factors, going beyond simple supply and demand, influences the financial performance of luxury goods. It uses economic data, auction records, and market reports to provide a comprehensive view. 

 
Structured in four parts, the book progresses from defining core concepts to analyzing drivers of appreciation and depreciation, and concludes with case studies across various luxury categories like watches, cars, art, and fashion, offering practical investment strategies.

The Constitutional Bind - How...

Aziz Rana

An eye-opening account of how Americans came to revere the Constitution and what this reverence has meant domestically and around the world. 
Some Americans today worry that the Federal Constitution is ill-equipped to respond to mounting democratic threats and may even exacerbate the worst features of American politics. Yet for as long as anyone can remember, the Constitution has occupied a quasi-mythical status in American political culture, which ties ideals of liberty and equality to assumptions about the inherent goodness of the text’s design. The Constitutional Bind explores how a flawed document came to be so glorified and how this has impacted American life. 
In a pathbreaking retelling of the American experience, Aziz Rana shows that today’s reverential constitutional culture is a distinctively twentieth-century phenomenon. Rana connects this widespread idolization to another relatively recent development: the rise of US global dominance. Ultimately, such veneration has had far-reaching consequences: despite offering a unifying language of reform, it has also unleashed an interventionist national security state abroad while undermining the possibility of deeper change at home. 
Revealing how the current constitutional order was forged over the twentieth century, The Constitutional Bind also sheds light on an array of movement activists—in Black, Indigenous, feminist, labor, and immigrant politics—who struggled to imagine different constitutional horizons. As time passed, these voices of opposition were excised from memory. Today, they offer essential insights.
