Culture Rules is a clarion call for leaders around the world. The pandemic has magnified the essential role that culture plays in an organization's health, vitality, and sustainability-some passed the test with flying colors while others are seeing with fresh eyes, deeply rooted issues and challenges within their culture. After completing a global study with over 5,000 participants from ten countries, Mark Miller and his team have exposed the most predominant fissures and their fixes. Culture Rules showcases leaders and organizations who are building strong, enduring cultures. Most important, this book is not just another compilation of case studies. Culture Rules makes the case for why leaders should invest their time and energy on building culture and gives them three simple, actionable rules they must play by if they want to stay in the game and win! These rules and their accompanying best practices enable leaders to: clarify and communicate the organization's cultural aspirations, reinforce the aspiration through their daily activities, and maintain relevance and vitality by constantly enhancing their culture. When leaders play by these rules, their actions become more strategic and productive while giving their organization a huge gift-a place where untapped potential is released and transformed into performance.

Reflects the extraordinary scope and topicality of Lukács and Frankfurt School thoughtBuilds on author's decades of research and previous publication on Lukács and Frankfurt School, including editing and translation of Hungarian language texts by Lukács, his Modernism and the Frankfurt School book, and numerous published essays and book chaptersBrings Lukács and key figures of the Frankfurt School in dialogue with other influential thinkers, for instance Lukács with Bloch and Marcuse, Adorno with Clement Greenberg and Bernard Stiegler, Benjamin/Adorno/Marcuse with Bataille/Blanchot/KlossowskiRepresents a unique selection and range of interdisciplinary and intermedial perspectives, from philosophy to literary, visual, and music studies to social and political theoryDraws upon sources in English, German, Hungarian, French, and Italian, expanding the understanding of key theorists beyond English-translated sourcesThis book examines the heritage of critical theory from the Hungarian Marxist philosopher Georg Lukács through the early Frankfurt School up to current issues of authoritarian politics and democratisation. Interweaving discussion of art and literature, utopian thought, and the dialectics of high art and mass culture, it offers unique perspectives on an interconnected group of left-wing intellectuals who sought to understand and resist their society's systemic impoverishment of thought and experience. Starting from Lukács's reflections on art, utopia, and historical action, it progresses to the Frankfurt School philosopher Theodor W. Adorno's analyses of music, media, avant-garde and kitsch. It concludes with discussions of erotic utopia, authoritarianism, postsocialism, and organised deceit in show trials - topics in which the legacy of Lukács and Frankfurt School critical theory continues to be relevant today

___Winner of the Financial Times Business Book of the Year award___ 'Pulse quickening. A nonfiction thriller - equal parts The China Syndrome and Mission Impossible' New York Times An epic account of the decades-long battle to control the world's most critical resource-microchip technology Power in the modern world - military, economic, geopolitical - is built on a foundation of computer chips. America has maintained its lead as a superpower because it has dominated advances in computer chips and all the technology that chips have enabled. (Virtually everything runs on chips: cars, phones, the stock market, even the electric grid.) Now that edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by the naïve assumption that globalising the chip industry and letting players in Taiwan, Korea and Europe take over manufacturing serves America's interests. Currently, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building Manhattan Project to catch up to the US. In Chip War economic historian Chris Miller recounts the fascinating sequence of events that led to the United States perfecting chip design, and how faster chips helped defeat the Soviet Union (by rendering the Russians' arsenal of precision-guided weapons obsolete). The battle to control this industry will shape our future. China spends more money importing chips than buying oil, and they are China's greatest external vulnerability as they are fundamentally reliant on foreign chips. But with 37 per cent of the global supply of chips being made in Taiwan, within easy range of Chinese missiles, the West's fear is that a solution may be close at hand. 'A riveting history. Features vivid accounts and colourful characters' Financial Times 'Fascinating...A historian by training, Miller walks the reader through decades of semiconductor history - a subject that comes to life thanks to [his] use of colorful anecdotes' Forbes 'Indispensable' Niall Ferguson

This book traces the beginnings of a shift from one model of gendered power to another. Over the course of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, traditional practices of local government by heads of household began to be undermined by new legal ideas about what it meant to hold office. In London, this enabled the emergence of a new kind of officeholding and a new kind of policing, rooted in a fraternal culture of official masculinity. London officers arrested, searched, and sometimes assaulted people on the basis of gendered suspicions, especially poorer women.Gender and Policing in Early Modern Englanddescribes how a recognisable form of gendered policing emerged from practices of local government by patriarchs and addresses wider questions about the relationship between gender and the state
