  Named one of the Best Summer Books in Economics by the Financial Times 
   
   
   
  A groundbreaking look at the hidden role of bankruptcy in perpetuating inequality in America 
   
   
   
  Bankruptcy is the busiest federal court in America. In theory, bankruptcy in America exists to cancel or restructure debts for people and companies that have way too many—a safety valve designed to provide a mechanism for restarting lives and businesses when things go wrong financially. 
   
   
   
  Legal scholar Melissa B. Jacoby shows how bankruptcy has also become an escape hatch for powerful individuals, corporations, and governments, contributing in unseen and poorly understood ways to race, gender, and class inequality in America. When cities go bankrupt, police unions enjoy added leverage while police brutality victims are denied a seat at the negotiating table; the system is more forgiving of civil rights abuses than of the parking tickets disproportionately distributed in African American neighborhoods. Unjust Debts reveals the hidden mechanisms by which bankruptcy impacts everything from sexual harassment to health care, police violence to employment discrimination, and the opioid crisis to gun violence.

  Because of their fungibility, cryptocurrencies are well-suited for use as a secure medium of exchange in the digital economy, where they have gained widespread acceptance. Due to the fact that each token is unique and irreplaceable, NFTs alter the cryptographic paradigm, making it impossible for one non-fungible token to be considered the same as another. NFT stands for non-fungible token and is a unique unit of data created using technology that allows digital content—ranging from videos to songs to images—to be logged and authenticated on cryptocurrency blockchains, particularly on the Ethereum platform.

  Most organisations are oblivious to, or terrified about, web accessibility.
  You may be aware that 20% of your customers – people with disabilities – could be clicking away from your websites or mobile apps every day, without having bought anything or found the information they needed. You may have received complaints about accessibility problems you don't understand, with people asking for what seem like impossible fixes. Your web teams may have read the industry standard WCAG guidelines, but found them impenetrable. You probably know you could be sued if you don't do the right thing, but you don't know how far you need to go to prevent that. And apart from eliminating risk, what else is in it for your organisation?
  In this audiobook, award-winning international accessibility thought-leader Jonathan Hassell shows you how to transform your organisation to consistently and cost-efficiently create websites, mobile apps and other digital products that are usable for all of your customers.
  Inclusive Design for Organisations  gives you a clear, strategic business-aligned framework how to embed accessibility policies and processes consistently throughout your organisation, and how to measure the return on your investment.
  With insights from leading worldwide accessibility experts who have implemented these processes in their organisations, this book comes with a free library of downloadable support tools, templates, podcasts and videos to help you on your journey to accessibility maturity.
  Inclusive Design for Organisations, and its companion, Inclusive Design for Products, will help you comply with both parts of the new International Standard ISO 30071-1.
