Beschreibung

"The Payola Scandal" exposes the hidden world of payola, a practice where payments influence radio airplay and shape popular music. For decades, the most heavily funded songs, rather than necessarily the most talented, have often topped the charts. The book reveals how payola distorts the music industry, preventing deserving artists from reaching audiences while inflating the success of others.

 
It examines the evolution of payola, from early cash payments to modern methods like strategic playlist placements, and explores its impact on artists, record labels, and radio executives.

 
The book progresses chronologically, detailing the history of payola schemes and examining key players involved. Case studies of significant scandals illustrate the consequences of this corruption.

 
By drawing from court documents, industry publications, and interviews, the book emphasizes the persistence of payola in the digital age, exploring how business ethics and playlist placements continue to affect the music we hear.

 
Ultimately, "The Payola Scandal" aims to inform consumers, encouraging support for authentic artists and music.

Sunk Cost - Who's to Blame for...

Jillian Berman

Student-loan horror stories are a dime a dozen. But students today are faced with a seemingly insurmountable paradox: Research consistently shows that the clearest viable option to financial stability is a college degree. But if and when Americans decide to pursue diplomas, student loan payments quickly follow, and even after securing full-time employment, many borrowers struggle to make ends meet for years. In Sunk Cost, journalist Jillian Berman explores how the nation's student loan program went from a well-intentioned initiative aimed at helping low- and middle-income students afford college to one that traps borrowers in long-term debt. 
 
 
  
Berman interviewed dozens of borrowers and policymakers and dug into the archives to unearth the true causes of the student loan problem. A couple of generations ago, policy makers generously subsidized Americans' college educations because they knew it would be advantageous for the entire country: a more educated population meant better quality of life for all. But today, higher education is viewed as an individual goal, so students and their families are expected to be on the hook for it themselves. Berman explains how this enormous shift happened, which industries benefit from it, and what it means for college-going Americans today.

The Backstage of the Care...

Helma Lutz

What is it like to care for another family, while yours remains in a different country? In today's capitalist society, migrant women performing care work in private households experience the painful tension of caring for both, often under precarious conditions. 
 
 
 
Characterized as the "backstage" family, the carer's remote relationship with their loved ones at home is often purely digital, with the double dilemmas of migrant motherhood and stay-behind fathers—exposing the pitfalls of transnational employment relations and the growth of social inequality. 
 
 
 
Here, Helma Lutz explores the debates around this issue, focusing on carers from Eastern Europe working in the West. She unpacks questions around feminist critiques of capitalism and the commodification of emotional labor, exploring how gender justice and the search for socialist feminist utopias can shape how we see a future—not only for the improvement of the carers' working and living conditions but also for a new way of dealing with care work.
