Fifteen years before the commercialization of the internet, millions of amateurs across North America created more than 100,000 small-scale computer networks. The people who built and maintained these dial-up bulletin board systems (BBSs) in the 1980s laid the groundwork for millions of others who would bring their lives online in the 1990s and beyond. From ham radio operators to HIV/AIDS activists, these modem enthusiasts developed novel forms of community moderation, governance, and commercialization. The Modem World tells an alternative origin story for social media, centered not in the office parks of Silicon Valley or the meeting rooms of military contractors, but rather on the online communities of hobbyists, activists, and entrepreneurs. Over time, countless social media platforms have appropriated the social and technical innovations of the BBS community. How can these untold stories from the internet's past inspire more inclusive visions of its future?

The recent financial crisis has significantly damaged the global financial industry's image, particularly affecting the image of interest-bearing assets as well as the regulatory framework of central banks. As a result, new ways of doing finance have developed, creating alternatives to the regular financial system. These alternatives include ethical banking, which prohibits certain practices, such as, insider trading, bribery, discrimination, money laundering, and fraud; non-banking solutions, a method of intermediating money as an alternative to interest-based loans; and Islamic finance, an alternative method to interest-based loans which prohibits interest-based loans, something that is considered central to the conventional financial system. This book explores each of these non-conventional banking and financing mechanisms in detail, with case studies from distinguished experts in higher education institutions, asset management firms, non-profit, multilateral and international organizations, and includes examples from Egypt, Spain, the United States, Sweden, and Indonesia, in which these alternative methods have succeeded. Social Impact Finance is the third book in the IE Business Publishing series for the Saudi Spanish Center of Islamic Economics and Finance and will be of particular interest to micro, small & medium sized businesses as well as young entrepreneurs.

Suggests that transition is often used as an excuse to justify states of chaos and inequality which only favour a minority. For instance a linear view of development is incapable of understanding process, differences, and particularities, and rejects any difference which may prevent it from reaching its goal of globalisation and homogenisation. This view denies youth its own moment in time and sees it as a transitional period between childhood and adulthood. Looks at youth as a global transitional process in the context of the political, economic, and cultural juncture of the present day and as a time of transition. Attempts to portray the place, prospects, and challenges of youth movements today. (Original abstract - amended)

This article examines the past and the present aspects of retirement income provision in Armenia, with an outlook for the future. It particularly looks at the main drivers behind the systemic reform and the structure and operation of the old and new systems. The public attitude towards and the discourse about reform are also analysed. An assessment is made whether the reformed system can better ensure retirement income provision.
