The Price of Freedom - How Economic Institutions Fuel Conflict

William Ubagan

Sinopsis

In a world defined by growing inequality and global unrest, understanding the role of economic institutions in shaping conflict has never been more critical. The Price of Freedom: How Economic Institutions Fuel Conflict by William Ubagan delves into the hidden forces driving disputes and explores how financial systems and policies can ignite or sustain societal tensions.
 
Drawing on historical case studies, real-world interviews, and rigorous analysis, this thought-provoking book unpacks the ways in which wealth distribution, resource allocation, and economic exploitation contribute to unrest. Ubagan also examines the paradox of progress, showing how even well-intentioned policies can exacerbate inequality and discord when poorly implemented.
 
More than a study of conflict, this book offers actionable insights on how economic reforms and inclusive policies can pave the way toward sustainable peace.

William Butler-Adams, Dan Davies

Lightweight, compact, distinctively styled, and now, electric: The Brompton isn't the only folding bicycle—or even the first. But everyone who has been on one will enthusiastically testify to its marvelous design (virtually unchanged over decades) and the particular joy of riding it. 
 
 
 
Will Butler-Adams, CEO of Brompton Bicycles, has been at the company for twenty years. Initially, he worked as an engineer for Andrew Ritchie, the bike's brilliant inventor and the business's founder, before taking the helm in 2008. Butler-Adams's heartfelt mission is to grow and promote sustainable urban transportation and to improve city-dwellers' lives everywhere. 
 
  
 
Under his leadership, Brompton has grown from making a few hundred bikes a year to over 90,000, with revenue of $130 million.

In The Brompton, Butler-Adams brings to life what it means to grow a company to global scale. He also tells the stories of the people who make the Brompton and the people who ride it. And he explains how customers all around the world fell in love with a brand that never set out to be a brand.

The Wireless World - Global...

Friederike Kind-Kovacs, Andrea...

The Wireless World sets out a new research agenda for the history of international broadcasting, and for radio history more generally. It examines global and transnational histories of long-distance wireless broadcasting, combining perspectives from international history, media and cultural history, the history of technology, and sound studies. It is a cowritten book, the result of more than five years of collaboration. Bringing together their knowledge of a wide range of different countries, languages, and archives, the coauthors show how broadcasters and states deployed international broadcasting as a tool of international communication and persuasion. 
 
 
 
Exploring the idea of a "wireless world," a globe connected, both in imagination and reality, by radio, The Wireless World sheds new light on the transnational connections created by international broadcasting. Bringing together all periods of international broadcasting within a single analytical frame, the study reveals key continuities and transformations. It looks at how wireless was shaped by internationalist ideas about the use of broadcasting to promote world peace and understanding, at how empires used broadcasting to perpetuate colonialism, and at how anti-colonial movements harnessed radio as a weapon of decolonization.
