Cryptomania
For fans of Bad Blood and Too Big to Fail, an explosive, page-turning account of one of the largest financial frauds in US history, chronicling the utopian promises, human collateral, and incineration of billions of dollars in the 2022 crypto crash, by Time magazine's technology correspondent. As cryptocurrency rose in popularity during the pandemic, new converts bought into the idea that crypto would not only make them rich, but would usher in imminent revolutions across art, finance, politics, and gaming. Cryptocurrency caught the zeitgeist through figures like FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, who only two years later would be convicted of one of the most calamitous acts of financial fraud in US history. During his meteoric rise, Sam Bankman-Fried outflanked idealists in the movement like Vitalik Buterin, who sought to build fairer, more democratic systems through Ethereum. Bankman-Fried pursued a growth-obsessed, by-any-means approach to crypto, which proved seductive to those who just wanted to get rich. But this Silicon Valley-like approach also drove the creation of a spate of high-risk financial instruments that mirrored those of the 2008 financial crisis. Accused of misleading investors and mishandling funds, Bankman-Fried became a target of prosecutors. Now, Cryptomania unfolds the tumultuous twenty months inside this male-dominated, overhyped industry that led to its downfall. Drawing on exclusive reporting and an extensive network in the global NFT community, Andrew Chow chronicles the battle for crypto's soul, and the human toll of its economic meltdown--from the conmen and eccentrics driving the bubble to the victims caught in its burst.
Business Valuation and Company Value
Business valuation and company value play a very important role in making an informed investment decision; buying and selling shares and bonds of a company on the stock market; insurance; taxation, etc. This book develops new approaches to business valuation and company value. The existing methods of business and company valuation have many shortcomings, two of which are global, related to the impossibility of estimating one of the fundamental parameters of valuation - the discount rate, and the impossibility of correctly accounting for the retrospective period of valuation. Both of these shortcomings can currently be overcome only within the framework of the modern theory of Brusov-Filatova-Orekhova (BFO), which is done in this monograph, devoted to the development of a qualitatively new approach to the valuation of businesses and companies. The second most important method of business valuation - CAPM - was generalized by the authors to include financial risk along with business risk, and for the first time this was done correctly. A new model - CAPM 2.0 - was created and applied to many companies. And finally, CAPM 2.0 was included in the modern theory of Brusov-Filatova-Orekhova (BFO), which allows for a correct assessment of a business and a company, taking into account both business and financial risks, illustrating the practical application of the developed innovative approach.

The Sustainable Capital Revolution
Modern capitalism has focused on profit maximization at the expense of non-renewable natural resources. This has led to wealth polarization - that is, social unsustainability - and climate change - that is, environmental unsustainability. Value migration has occurred between the ultra-rich and the "remaining 99%" and across generations, with increased longevity and a demographic winter expected to contribute even more. All this has led us on a collision course with several existential threats.This book explains that a quick and decisive sustainability conversion is necessary, requiring significant investment and careful management of trade-offs - such as those between environmental and financial risk. The author argues that a "sustainable capital" approach would account for all scarce resources used in any investment decision and adjust its risk-based pricing. It would redefine the foundations of modern finance and economics, overcoming the limits and negative implications of well-known metrics and supporting the funding required for green conversion and reduced wealth polarization. Ultimately, a "sustainable capital" approach could inform long-term sustainability transformation strategies and be used to develop a first set of pragmatic, market-based initiatives, involving non-bank funding and an operating partner approach, to accelerate a "wealth to wellbeing" and a "brown to green" transformation and the workout of the (otherwise stranded) socially and environmentally non-performing assets - securing the survival and evolution of our eco-system.This book is aimed at those involved in the world of finance, investment management, and banking, with a specific focus on sustainable finance and green transformation. It will also be of relevance to readers interested in economic policies and the broader topic of equality, social sustainability, and wealth creation.
