Capital

Brussels. A hive of tragic heroes, manipulative losers, involuntary accomplices. No wonder the European Commission is keen to improve its image. The fiftieth anniversary of the European Commission approaches, and the Directorate-General for Culture is tasked with organising an appropriate celebration. When Fenia Xenopoulou's assistant comes up with a plan to put Auschwitz at the very centre of the jubilee, she is delighted. But she has neglected to take the other E.U. institutions into account. Meanwhile the city is on the lookout for a runaway pig. And what about the farmers who take to the streets to protest against restrictions blocking the export of pigs to China?

"A lot has happened in the financial markets since 1992, when Peter Bernstein wrote his seminal Capital Ideas. Happily, Peter has taken up his facile pen again to describe these changes, a virtual revolution in the practice of investing that relies heavily on complex mathematics, derivatives, hedging, and hyperactive trading. This fine and eminently readable book is unlikely to be surpassed as the definitive chronicle of a truly historic era." —John C. Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group and author, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing «Just as Dante could not have understood or survived the perils of the Inferno without Virgil to guide him, investors today need Peter Bernstein to help find their way across dark and shifting ground. No one alive understands Wall Street's intellectual history better, and that makes Bernstein our best and wisest guide to the future. He is the only person who could have written this book; thank goodness he did.» —Jason Zweig, Investing Columnist, Money magazine «Another must-read from Peter Bernstein! This well-written and thought-provoking book provides valuable insights on how key finance theories have evolved from their ivory tower formulation to profitable application by portfolio managers. This book will certainly be read with keen interest by, and undoubtedly influence, a wide range of participants in international finance.» —Dr. Mohamed A. El-Erian, President and CEO of Harvard Management Company, Deputy Treasurer of Harvard University, and member of the faculty of the Harvard Business School «Reading Capital Ideas Evolving is an experience not to be missed. Peter Bernstein's knowledge of the principal characters-the giants in the development of investment theory and practice-brings this subject to life.» —Linda B. Strumpf, Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, The Ford Foundation «With great clarity, Peter Bernstein introduces us to the insights of investment giants, and explains how they transformed financial theory into portfolio practice. This is not just a tale of money and models; it is a fascinating and contemporary story about people and the power of their ideas.» —Elroy Dimson, BGI Professor of Investment Management, London Business School «Capital Ideas Evolving provides us with a unique appreciation for the pervasive impact that the theory of modern finance has had on the development of our capital markets. Peter Bernstein once again has produced a masterpiece that is must reading for practitioners, educators and students of finance.» —Andr? F. Perold, Professor of Finance, Harvard Business School

This book does to sex what other sociologists did to culture: it shows that sex, no longer defined by religion, now plays a role in the economy and can yield tangible benefits in the realms of money, status, and occupation. How do people accumulate sexual capital, and what are the returns for investing money, time, knowledge, and energy in establishing and enhancing our sexual selves? Dana Kaplan and Eva Illouz disentangle the current cultural politics of heterosexual life, arguing that sex – that messy amalgam of sexual affects and experiences – has increasingly assumed an economic character. Some may opt for plastic surgery to beautify their face or body, while others may consume popular sex advice or attend seduction classes. Beyond particular practices such as these, the authors trace an emerging form of “neoliberal” sexual capital, which is the ability to glean self-appreciation from sexual encounters and to use this self-value to foster employability, as exemplified by Silicon Valley sex parties. This highly original book will appeal to students and scholars in sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and cultural studies and to anyone interested in the nature of sex and how it is changing today.

Como en el mundo de hoy, en el de los piratas del siglo xvii no hay sino un prop?sito claro: la b?squeda del tesoro Un pirata oteando el horizonte, empapado de ron y ansioso de tesoros: en septiembre de 1695, el pirata ingl?s Henry Every, capit?n del Fancy, atac? y se apoder? de un barco que regresaba a la India desde la Meca. Este acto, uno de los cr?menes m?s lucrativos de la historia, tuvo ramificaciones mundiales y dio lugar a la primera orden de caza y captura internacional y al primer juicio del siglo XVII. Este acontecimiento, remoto y aislado en el oc?ano ?ndico, fue el desencadenante involuntario del cambio m?s importante sufrido en la econom?a mundial hasta nuestros d?as: el nacimiento del capitalismo. Steven Johnson utiliza la extraordinaria historia de este pirata y sus cr?menes para explorar la aparici?n de la Compa??a de las Indias Orientales, el Imperio brit?nico y el mercado mundial: un planeta densamente interconectado gobernado por naciones y corporaciones y sus intereses econ?micos. Como en el mundo actual, en el de los piratas del siglo XVII no hay sino un prop?sito claro: la b?squeda del tesoro.

"Vivimos tiempos apocal?pticos", sostiene con tono urgente Maurizio Lazzarato frente al ascenso de los nuevos fascismos y la renuncia del pensamiento cr?tico a pensar en t?rminos de revoluci?n. Son tiempos que «ponen de manifiesto, que dejan ver». Y de forma clara y contundente, analiza diversos procesos del mundo contempor?neo: los chalecos amarillos en Francia, la primavera ?rabe, la presidencia de Donald Trump, las dictaduras latinoamericanas de los a?os setenta, el ascenso al poder de Jair Bolsonaro. Vivimos tiempos que ponen de manifiesto que la alternativa «fascismo o revoluci?n» es asim?trica y desigual. El fascismo, el racismo y el sexismo se inscriben de manera estructural en los mecanismos de acumulaci?n del capital al tiempo que el ciclo de revoluciones mundiales qued? clausurado a fines del siglo pasado: el neoliberalismo se encarg? de borrarlo del mapa y de la memoria. Vivimos tiempos de un creciente neofascismo –la otra cara del neoliberalismo– y las «guerras contra las poblaciones» son los mecanismos para lograrlo. Lazzarato, uno de los intelectuales m?s originales y agudos del presente, aporta herramientas para pensar c?mo salir de este aparente destino, en di?logo y discutiendo con Ranci?re, Foucault, Marx, los feminismos, para elaborar estrategias que nos permitan crear hoy nuevos posibles.
