State Capitalisms in Southern Africa
State Capitalisms in Southern Africa offers a groundbreaking reappraisal of Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe through the lens of evolving forms of state capitalism. From colonial charter companies to post-independence parastatals and financial institutions, this monograph traces how successive state-capital hybrids have shaped economic development, class formation, and corporate governance across the region. Challenging dominant narratives that center Western and Eastern models, the authors draw on historical institutionalist approaches to show how national contexts drive variation within seemingly similar economic forms. By mapping distinct eras of capitalism-merchant colonialism, import-substitution industrialization, neoliberalism, and militarized accumulation-this study reveals how African cases both enrich and complicate global debates on state capitalism. Engaging deeply with neglected African histories, this is a timely contribution to political economy literature that underscores the centrality of the state in shaping economic trajectories and governance systems in the Global South.

The Politics of Migrant Labour
The turnover of labour and its significance for workers and employers has usually been considered at the organizational level as individual exit behaviour, and seldom in relation to the cross-border mobility practices of migrant workers within and without the workplace. Drawing from labour process theory, the autonomy of migration, social reproduction, and industrial relations, this book explores the relationship between labour mobility and international migration under a global and historical perspective. Uncovering both the individual and collective actions by migrants inside and outside worker organizations, the authors develop a new understanding of migrants' everyday mobilities as creative and life-sustaining strategies of social reproduction and labour conflict.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Investors of all ages would benefit from reading Mr. Maggiulli's book, which holds especially valuable lessons for young people." - Scott Nations, The Wall Street From the author of Just Keep Buying, a groundbreaking new framework for building wealth Do you feel stuck financially? Are you working more, trying to spend less, yet still not seeing results? If so, the issue isn't your effort--it's your approach. This is where The Wealth Ladder comes in. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme or a one-size-fits-all solution to your money problems. It's a new philosophy for thinking about money altogether. In a world where interest rates shift, careers take new turns, and desires evolve, our financial strategy must keep up. This is why The Wealth Ladder breaks wealth into six distinct levels, each demanding its own strategy. What works at Level 1 won't cut it at Level 6--and vice versa. You'll learn exactly how to handle your spending, income, investments, and more, with tailored advice for every stage. The result? Smarter choices, less stress, and a clear path upward. Because building wealth isn't just about hard work--it's about applying the right strategy at the right time to focus on what matters most. Fortunately, you won't need to guess on where to focus next because The Wealth Ladder has the answer. The only question left is: Are you ready to climb it?
