This book is about an economic system that creates and circulates value. ABC&D explores an economy that is regenerative, accessible, abundant, open source, participative, distributive and devolved - by design. This book is a story of systemic re-orientation, away from an extractive linear economy towards a transformative circular economy. It's about rebuilding 'capitals' through the shift from extraction to circulation in both the monetary and materials cycles at the same time.The book's core concepts are illustrated using the food and farming sector. Through the lens of soil, food and farming systems, it looks in-depth at ways that people can design, build and participate in a regenerative economy. The Circular Economy illustrates really profound shifts and points to a new and emerging economics narrative which is beyond left and right - a devolved, post-capitalist economy based on wealth from the 'commons' and a reinvigorated democracy where the link between work and wages is broken.
Democracy is a matter of degree, and this book offers mainstream empirical evidence that shows how rich democracies would be better off with a few degrees less of it.
Further, the textbook presents a systematic economic analysis of securitization, asking and answering why it exists, how it works, why it has failed, how complex structures operate, why they are so complex, and many other related questions.
Bridging intermediate and advanced macroeconomics study, the authors use empirical examples to introduce students step-by-step to methods of formal macroeconomic analysis, helping them to develop a thorough understanding of fundamental models in growth theory and business cycle theory.
After over a decade of Bitcoin, which has now moved beyond lore and hype into an increasingly robust star in the firmament of global assets, a new and more important question has arisen. What happens beyond Bitcoin? The answer is decentralised finance - 'DeFi'.Tech and finance experts Steven Boykey Sidley and Simon Dingle argue that DeFi - which enables all manner of financial transactions to take place directly, person to person, without the involvement of financial institutions - will redesign the cogs and wheels in the engines of trust, and make the remarkable rise of Bitcoin look quaint by comparison. It will disrupt and displace fine and respectable companies, if not entire industries.Sidley and Dingle explain how DeFi works, introduce the organisations and individuals that comprise the new industry, and identify the likely winners and losers in the coming revolution.

If one examined the worst trading (or life) mistake one made, at that precise moment of making that decision one thought it was a good decision. Otherwise, would you have made that decision in the first place? What would it be worth in dollars if that big mistake could have been avoided? Decision-making is a skill that can be learned. With enough practice, one can excel in proper decision-making. The stock market is a perfect training ground to master this art. Where else is there real consequence that is easily and quickly measurable with every decision made? The author's outlook about stock trading is simple. "You do not learn to walk, talk and run by reading books. You learn by doing. No different in the stock market. Or life. Ninety percent of the knowledge in life is learned by doing, not by reading about doing." Reviews: "Wow, so good!

He started trading stocks in 1987 and promptly experienced Black Monday 1987 first-hand. Having started his market experience with a major trading firm of the 1980s, he went on to work for himself in the 1990s. Now, approaching the end of his fourth decade in the markets, he leads a simple and uncomplicated life and uses the same simple uncomplicated approach to his stock market evaluation and activity. Many years have passed since his last book. But the lessons and the methods have not changed. The subtle art of speculation has not changed. He says that is because human beings do not change their emotions when it comes to money. The messages in the charts are clear, if only you can observe.
