Extinction of Tax as We Know It
This is the first business-fiction novel to tell the real, unfiltered story of tax and finance professionals in what the world believes is the "age of AI".The world is dazzled by automation, ERP upgrades, e-invoicing mandates, and AI breakthroughs. However, within corporations, a different reality unfolds: broken data, political landmines, failed systems, fragile governance, and leaders who are far from prepared for the future they claim to embrace.Extinction of Tax As We Know It pulls you directly into that hidden battlefield.When Maria Mehta becomes CFO of AlphaCorp, she steps into a role surrounded by prestige-and buried in dysfunction. Beneath polished dashboards and confident board presentations lies a messy truth: AlphaCorp is held together by spreadsheets, patchwork data, and decades of unresolved tax and technology debt.And standing firmly against change is Sophia Chan, the brilliant yet evasive Head of Tax who has mastered the art of survival through ambiguity, deflection, and hierarchy. She represents everything that resists transformation-fear, control, and political manoeuvring disguised as expertise.To break the cycle, Maria turns to two unexpected forces: Aldo Maseko, a Gen Z CTO prodigy who sees systems as ecosystems and data as destiny.Abhishek Iyer, a quiet transformation specialist whose past success and painful failure reveal the difference between tools and true orchestration.Together, they unravel a pattern of failing ERPs, incorrect tax setups, collapsing e-invoicing designs, and cross-border risks hidden inside "business-as-usual." As they confront Sophia's passive sabotage, country-team resistance, and boardroom hostility, AlphaCorp transforms into a courtroom-where every meeting feels like testimony, every escalation a verdict.Amid the chaos lies a larger truth: AI will not save organisations that cannot save themselves.Without governance, aligned teams, clean data, and courageous leadership, even the most advanced technologies turn into expensive illusions.This novel doubles as a transformation playbook for the modern enterprise, revealing: Why tax, finance, IT, and operations must evolve into Fusion TeamsWhy the future belongs to Fusion Professionals-those who speak the languages of data, systems, tax, processes, and leadershipWhy e-invoicing will reshape organisational DNAHow AI's hype collides with the harsh reality of organisational unreadinessHow politics destroys transformation long before technology doesThrough corporate warfare, emotional truths, and high-stakes decision-making, Extinction of Tax As We Know It exposes what global professionals live through but rarely speak about.This is the book for: CFOs, tax leaders, ERP teams, technologists, consultants, auditors, transformation professionals, and every ambitious Gen Z or millennial shaping the future of work.If you've ever survived an ERP project, lived through a tax audit, or navigated corporate power games, this book will feel like home. Once you read it, you will never look at tax, technology, leadership, or organisational transformation the same way again.
The Exit Plan
Most entrepreneurs dream of building a company that lasts, but few stop to ask: what happens when it is time to step away? This book challenges the conventional mindset by showing that a business is strongest when it can thrive without its founder. Instead of treating the exit as an afterthought, it reframes it as the ultimate design principle-shaping every decision from valuation to leadership succession. Through vivid case studies, rigorous frameworks, and practical reflection prompts, readers discover why investors value business valuation differently than founders, why systems-not personalities-drive lasting value, and how succession planning for entrepreneurs preserves both profit and legacy. It reveals the hidden traps of waiting too long, neglecting documentation, or clinging too tightly to identity-and offers a clear path to building a company others are eager to buy. This book is written for founders, leaders, and investors who want to understand not just how to grow but how to sell your business on their terms. Whether you are years away from an exit or simply want to design a more resilient, scalable organisation, you will gain clarity on when to sell, who to sell to, and how to protect what matters most. The outcome is more than financial-it is freedom: the ability to step away knowing your company endures, and your legacy remains intact.

Decoded Decisions
Decoded Decisions: Behavioural Finance Meets Artificial Intelligence explores the swiftly changing financial world where technology intersects with psychology. As innovations like smart wallets, robo-advisors, AI-powered trading systems, and algorithmic nudges transform money management, the line between human intuition and machine accuracy becomes less distinct. This book emerges from a profound interest in this new realm-where behavioural economics intersects with digital progress. Through a multidisciplinary perspective, it examines how new technologies are not only altering the mechanics of personal finance but also transforming our understanding of value, choice, and financial health. By applying behavioural finance concepts such as loss aversion, mental accounting, overconfidence, and impulsivity, it explores how these biases are either intensified or mitigated in digital settings. Real-world fintech applications and case studies demonstrate the psychological effects of design decisions-from gamification and predictive analytics to nudges and algorithmic persuasion. Importantly, the book balances optimism about fintech's ability to improve financial literacy and inclusion with a critical examination of the ethical challenges posed by profit-driven platforms. How can we ensure that innovation empowers rather than exploits? What protections are necessary when machines influence decisions traditionally made by personal choice? Ideal for finance students, behavioural economists, fintech developers, policymakers, and curious investors, Decoded Decisions provides practical insights and profound reflections. It encourages readers to not only comprehend the tools of digital finance but to engage with them thoughtfully and deliberately. In a rapidly advancing technological world, the wisest decisions are those made with both intelligence and humanity.
Lombard Street A Description Of The Money Market
Lombard street: A description of the money market offers a penetrating analysis of the financial systems that underpin modern capitalism. Walter Bagehot examines the intricate workings of London's banking network, portraying it as both a powerful and fragile mechanism that drives economic stability and growth. He presents Lombard Street as the beating heart of the global money market, where credit, trust, and liquidity intertwine to sustain commerce. Rejecting purely theoretical discussions, Bagehot grounds his insights in the practical realities of banking institutions, exploring how they manage deposits, loans, and reserves. He exposes the delicate balance between confidence and panic that defines financial life, emphasizing the need for sound policy and disciplined management. His observations on the circulation of capital between agricultural and industrial regions illustrate the interdependence of rural savings and urban enterprise. The work remains a cornerstone in understanding how financial systems evolve under pressure, blending clear economic reasoning with enduring relevance to both scholars and practitioners.

Risk Management for Cryptocurrency Portfolios
Cryptocurrencies have transformed finance by opening new avenues for investment and innovation, while exposing portfolios to extreme volatility, fat tails, liquidity shocks, and shifting regulation. Risk Management for Cryptocurrency Portfolios provides a rigorous, practice-oriented toolkit for this landscape. The book blends postmodern portfolio theory, heavy-tailed statistics, and empirically tested optimization methods into a coherent framework tailored to digital assets.Starting from the data, the authors assemble a consistent set of 40 major tokens and examine hourly performance, stylized facts, and benchmarks. They study stationarity, the non-normal nature of returns, and tail risk using Hill estimators and generalized Pareto modeling and quantify distances between return series to guide diversification. The portfolio core begins with mean-variance analysis, the capital market line, and coherent risk measures. Building on this foundation, the book develops mean-CVaR optimization and equivalent formulations, with MATLAB implementations and step-by-step case studies.Strategy chapters compare long-only and long-short constructions, including Jacobs et al. and Lo-Patel approaches, momentum variants, and portfolios under turnover constraints. Performance is evaluated with maximum drawdown and widely used ratios such as Sharpe, Sortino-Satchell, and the Rachev ratio.The dynamic optimization introduces ARMA(1,1)-GARCH(1,1) models with Student's t-innovations, multivariate t-distributions and t-copulas, and the simulation of return scenarios. Robust optimization addresses model misspecification by treating observed return distributions as uncertain; readers learn box and ellipsoidal uncertainty sets, Kantorovich distances between discrete distributions, and robust CVaR portfolios on historical data. Validation is integral. A backtesting suite consisting of value-at-risk tests, including binomial and traffic-light procedures, plus Kupiec, Christoffersen, and Haas tests, assesses model quality and contrasts historical, dynamic, and robust allocations. Written for practitioners, analysts, researchers, and graduate students, the text is selfcontained and comprehensive. Clear exposition, empirical examples, and ready to run MATLAB code make advanced methods usable in day-to-day portfolio construction. Risk Management for Cryptocurrency Portfolios equips readers with insight and tested techniques needed to build, stress-test and refine crypto portfolios with confidence.
It's About Tyme
Imagine starting with a bold mission in 2012: to achieve financial inclusion through a multi-country bank. Within a decade, this vision becomes one of the fastest-growing fintechs in the world.Now, picture starting this business in South Africa, a country the IMF ranked as the hardest place to do business out of 49 countries surveyed. Imagine having the foresight to partner with a family-owned food retailer to establish a low-cost, physical banking footprint. Such success didn't go unnoticed and one of the world's largest banks acquired the company. A clash of cultures followed and, just four years later, the divestment. Despite the risks, one of South Africa's wealthiest entrepreneurs stepped in to take control. Then came Covid-19. The business nearly hit the wall and shareholders demanded a successor of their choosing be trained. A frantic 217 pitches for fresh capital yielded no success. And then, at the eleventh hour, there was a reprieve as one investor and then another stepped up.Now, imagine launching in the Philippines, replicating and improving what works while designing an entirely new cloud-based banking stack with over 500 Vietnamese developers. Imagine assembling a team from Italy, the US, the UK, South Africa, Vietnam, the Philippines, Australia, India and Zimbabwe. Picture shaping a culture where failure is part of growth, and audacity is the norm, not the exception. Imagine becoming the global poster child for AI in banking and receiving an email in June 2025, informing you that your company is one of Time magazine's Top 100 most influential companies in the world. This incredible story unfolds within the pages of It's About Tyme. As Roger Grobler, a long-standing investor in Tyme puts it, 'Courage and audacity are not just bold strategies - they're the safest. Because playing it safe is, ironically, the riskiest thing you can do.'
How to Listen When Markets Speak
A New York Times bestselling author and leading expert on market risk argues that seismic shifts in the global economy will trigger a multi-trillion-dollar migration of wealth, outlining new rules of investing for the forward-thinking. "I can't tell you how much I learned from How to Listen When Markets Speak. The historical perspectives and insights are something every investor needs to know. Buy this book."--Mark Cuban From Wall Street to the White House, the fantasy of an eventual "return to normal" is still alive and well, nurtured by dangerously outdated theories. But the economic world as we know it--and the rules that govern it--are over. In the coming decade, we'll witness sustained inflation, a series of sovereign and corporate debt crises, and a thundering of capital out of financial assets into hard assets. Few are prepared. Lawrence G. McDonald, founder of the economic research platform The Bear Traps Report, got a real-world education in market risk when, as a Lehman Brothers VP, he watched the firm ignore flashing warning signs before its collapse. His analysis led him to identify twenty-one indicators for gauging the health of an economy and detecting early signals of opportunity and danger. In How to Listen When Markets Speak, McDonald unveils his unique predictive models, connecting surprising dots between past, present, and future and outlining actionable trading ideas for staying a beat ahead of the markets. Readers will learn: - How disastrous Fed policy will collide with an increasingly fragmented geopolitical landscape to keep U.S. inflation near 3-5% for the next decade - How growing demand for oil and gas, underinvestment in urgently needed energy infrastructure, and cozy Russia-Saudi Arabia relations will lift the base price of energy to historic levels - Why hard assets and rare minerals like lithium and cobalt will outperform growth stocks, U.S. treasuries, and overcrowded passive investment strategies--and how to detect bearish and bullish trends in advance - How passive investing and the vehicles intended to democratize finance have fueled bubbles and ideological skew by large market participants, leaving millions of 401(k)s and IRAs at risk - Why America will likely lose its position as a global superpower and holder of the world's premier reserve currency, and may be forced to slash Social Security, Medicare, and military spending Rather than merely doomsaying, How to Listen When Markets Speak equips readers to make sense of our current moment, resist reactionary narratives and baseless analysis, and preserve their wealth in turbulent times. When markets speak, it pays to listen.
Rethinking Taxation for Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean
Rethinking Taxation for Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean: Objectives, Behavioral Responses, and Technological Advances argues for a shift beyond the traditional focus on collection efficiency and equity to explicitly include economic growth as a primary objective. It highlights how taxpayers' behavioral responses and technological advancements reshape the effectiveness and trade-offs of core taxes.The report introduces targeted cash transfers (TCTs) as a powerful new instrument for achieving equity, potentially allowing for more neutral and efficient revenue collection through other taxes like value added tax (VAT). It challenges the conventional view of VAT as inherently regressive in the region's informal economies, suggesting that consumption-based analysis reveals a less clear-cut picture. The report cautions against excessively high standard VAT rates, which can hinder growth, and suggests reevaluating reduced VAT rates in favor of broader base consumption taxes coupled with TCTs.The report argues that the high corporate income tax (CIT) rates in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, coupled with a challenging business environment, incentivize evasion and discourage investment. It advocates for reducing CIT rates to align with other emerging markets, improving enforcement, and exploring public-private partnerships for tax collection.Regarding the personal income tax (PIT), the report notes a narrow base despite high top marginal rates, which may penalize entrepreneurship. It suggests moderately broadening the tax base rather than further increasing top rates. It also proposes focusing on property taxes as a more viable form of wealth taxation, given the prevalence of tangible assets and the increasing feasibility of accurate valuation through technology, contrasting this with the difficulties of taxing highly mobile financial assets.With recommendations for strategic adjustments to VAT and CIT rates, a moderate expansion of the PIT base, and more effective property tax policy, this report provides policy makers, business leaders, and researchers with a practical framework for building more effective, equitable, and growth-oriented tax systems in Latin America and the Caribbean. The analysis is grounded in context-specific insights, encouraging a nuanced approach that considers both behavioral responses and technological progress.

Financial Literacy & Inclusion
Financial literacy is a key determinant of financial well-being, influencing investment behavior, banking access, and overall economic inclusion. In an increasingly complex financial landscape, understanding fundamental financial concepts is essential for making informed financial decisions. This study explores the role of financial literacy in shaping financial participation and the utilization of financial services in the Kalaburagi district of Karnataka. Despite various financial inclusion initiatives in India, a significant portion of the population remains financially excluded due to limited financial awareness. The research investigates the relationship between financial literacy and financial inclusion by analyzing secondary data from the National Center for Financial Education (NCFE) and primary survey data collected from households in Kalaburagi. A multistage random sampling method ensures representative data across diverse demographic groups, including variations in gender, age, education, occupation, and income levels. The findings highlight that financial literacy significantly influences investment choices and banking access. Individuals with higher financial knowledge are more likely to engage in diverse investment options, utilize banking services, and adopt digital financial tools. However, there remains a strong preference for traditional investments such as gold and real estate, with lower awareness and usage of modern financial instruments like mutual funds and stock markets. Regression analysis indicates a strong positive correlation between financial literacy and financial product utilization, underscoring the need for targeted financial education programs. To bridge the financial literacy gap, policymakers, financial institutions, and educators must implement comprehensive financial literacy initiatives. Integrating financial education into school curricula, conducting community-based workshops, launching digital financial awareness campaigns, and designing tailored programs for marginalized groups can significantly improve financial knowledge and participation.

Impact of Capital Structure on the Income Performance of Publicly Rated Traded Deposit Money Banks
The book titled ""Impact of Capital Structure on the Income Performance of Publicly Rated Traded Deposit Money Banks" explores how capital structure decisions influence the financial outcomes of deposit money banks listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group. Covering a 20-year period (2003-2022), the book examines significant economic developments, regulatory reforms, and global financial shifts that shaped the banking industry in Nigeria. The book places a lot of emphasis on capital structure choices, or the proportion of debt and equity financing, and how it helps banks reach their financial objectives. It draws attention to the ways that strategic capital structure choices impacted income performance at times like the COVID-19 epidemic, the global financial crisis of 2008, and the banking consolidation of 2004-2005. Using trustworthy historical financial data from publicly listed banks' annual reports, the study examined long-term patterns. Examining the effects of the debt-to-equity ratio, leverage ratio, equity ratio, interest cover ratio, and debt ratio on return on assets was one of the goals. In addition to descriptive statistics, trend and SWOT analyses, the study employed an ex post facto design and panel least squares regression for statistical analysis. The results showed that while the debt ratio and interest cover ratio had a negative influence on return on assets, the equity ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, and leverage ratio had a favorable impact. To maximize shareholder value, reduce borrowing costs, and boost profitability, the book advises bank managers and financial advisers to strike a balance between debt and equity. For banking professionals, analysts, policymakers, and academics who want to comprehend how capital structure and revenue performance relate to each other in Nigeria's ever-changing economic landscape, this book is an invaluable resource.

Good as Gold
Includes a new preface by the author. From financial crises, to pandemic price-spikes, to recurring cycles of inflation, everyone agrees: the economy has seen better days. But as soon as pundits and politicians start discussing economics, things get murky. Most books ask more questions than they answer. Most books...but not this one. Judy Shelton--Senior Fellow at Independent Institute, former Chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy, and critically acclaimed monetary economist--has written a book with answers. And not a moment too soon. With clarity and moral courage, Shelton charts the course to a brighter future. She's one of the few economists bold enough to challenge the inflationary policies of the Federal Reserve, emphasizing how today's policies enrich elites at the expense of--you guessed it--poor and middle-class Americans. This, Shelton insists, must end. And it can end--easily. But Shelton doesn't stop there. Her vision is for not only America but also for people around the world. Global, economic upliftment, she insists, need not come at the expense of domestic prosperity. We can have both--but not without a sound and stable U.S. currency. And history is very clear on this point. When the U.S. dollar is backed by gold, America prospers, and so does the rest of the world. In this book, Shelton casts a powerful vision that is as revolutionary as it is time-tested...a vision that shows how the future American dollar can perform as good as gold... ...or even better. But this is no curmudgeonly demand to return to the gold standard of yore. Neither is it a demand to return to the Bretton Woods era. Instead, Shelton offers something new: an explanation of how we can use gold for a new international monetary order. Step by step, she lays out how gold can provide a universal measure of value across borders, create new financial opportunities, and dramatically increase prosperity around the world. If you care about the poor, rich, and everyone in between, you have to read this book ... and discover: - how price stability functions as the foundation for productive economic growth; - how political freedom and economic freedom are fundamentally linked ... and how one cannot exist without the other; - how to reconcile the stability of America's domestic currency in a global context; - the proper role of government in the economy; - and much, much more ... Writing with a sober but hopeful voice, Shelton is no ordinary economist. With grace, intellectual rigor, and unmatched passion, this book is a must-read for anyone invested in the future of the American--and global--economy. You'll walk away with more answers than questions--a rare experience for anyone who reads about monetary policy.

A New Banking System
A new banking system presents a critical examination of centralized financial control and proposes a decentralized model rooted in tangible productivity. It challenges the restrictive nature of monopolized banking institutions and explores how economic liberation can be achieved through widespread access to credit. The book underscores the relationship between real assets and currency, shifting the foundation of financial trust from precious metals to practical infrastructure like mortgages and transportation networks. This perspective reframes value not as a static commodity but as something derived from active economic contribution. The author questions the fairness of a system that restricts monetary expansion to elite institutions while advocating for mechanisms that distribute financial power more broadly. By linking capital to widespread, usable assets, the work envisions a stable currency system that promotes individual opportunity and curbs speculative volatility. The text stresses the importance of aligning monetary policy with productivity, and it envisions a future where currency reflects societal utility rather than arbitrary scarcity. In essence, the work argues for an economic structure where credit serves as a tool for empowerment rather than control.
