'In this engaging and ground-breaking book, Dr Corliss rescues and revives an important but unfortunately marginalized thinker whose voice has been neglected in the evolution of psychoanalytic thought. Dr Corliss’ scholarship restores Herbert Silberer’s prescient work on dreams, enriching our understanding of psychoanalysis and linking it to its contemporary developments. This passionate, enlightening work will be of value to anyone interested in the history of psychoanalysis and in the science and mysteries of dream life.' — Stanton Marlan, President of the Pittsburgh Society of Jungian Analysts, USA

'Der Traum is an excellent introduction to the unique world of Silberer and an exceptional approach to our present-day knowledge on dreams. It is a fascinating work indeed.' — Júlia Gyimesi, Senior Lecturer, Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Hungary and Director, Theoretical Psychoanalysis PhD Program, University of Pécs, Hungary

"Should be required reading for politicians and anyone concerned with economic development." &mdash;Jared Diamond, New York Review of Books"...bracing, garrulous, wildly ambitious and ultimately hopeful. It may, in fact, be a bit of a masterpiece."&mdash;Washington Post&ldquo;For economics and political-science students, surely, but also for the general reader who will appreciate how gracefully the authors wear their erudition.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;&ldquo;Provocative stuff; backed by lots of brain power.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;This is an intellectually rich book that develops an important thesis with verve. It should be widely read.&rdquo; &mdash;Financial Times&ldquo;A probing . . . look at the roots of political and economic success . . . large and ambitious new book.&rdquo; &mdash;The Daily&ldquo;Why Nations Fail is a splendid piece of scholarship and a showcase of economic rigor.&rdquo; &mdash;The Wall Street Journal"Ranging from imperial Rome to modern Botswana, this book will change the way people think about the wealth and poverty of nations...as ambitious as Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel."&mdash;Bloomberg BusinessWeek&ldquo;The main strength of this book is beyond the power of summary: it is packed, from beginning to end, with historical vignettes that are both erudite and fascinating. As Jared Diamond says on the cover: 'It will make you a spellbinder at parties.' But it will also make you think.&rdquo; &mdash;The &#160;Observer (UK)"A&#160;brilliant book.&rdquo; &mdash;Bloomberg (Jonathan Alter)&ldquo;Why Nations Fail is a wildly ambitious work that hopscotches through history and around the world to answer the very big question of why some countries get rich and others don&rsquo;t.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times (Chrystia Freeland)"Why Nations Failis a truly awesome book. Acemoglu and Robinson tackle one of the most important problems in the social sciences&mdash;a question that has bedeviled leading thinkers for centuries&mdash;and offer an answer that is brilliant in its simplicity and power. A wonderfully readable mix of history, political science, and economics, this book will change the way we think about economic development. Why Nations Fail is a must-read book." &mdash;Steven Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics "You will have three reasons to love this book. It&rsquo;s about national income differences within the modern world, perhaps the biggest problem facing the world today. It&rsquo;s peppered with fascinating stories that will make you a spellbinder at cocktail parties&mdash;such as why Botswana is prospering and Sierra Leone isn&rsquo;t. And it&rsquo;s a great read. Like me, you may succumb to reading it in one go, and then you may come back to it again and again." &mdash;Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning author of the bestsellers Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse "A compelling and highly readable book. And [the] conclusion is a cheering one: the authoritarian &lsquo;extractive&rsquo; institutions like the ones that drive growth in China today are bound to run out of steam. Without the inclusive institutions that first evolved in the West, sustainable growth is impossible, because only a truly free society can foster genuine innovation and the creative destruction that is its corollary." &mdash;Niall Ferguson, author of The Ascent of Money "Some time ago a little-known Scottish philosopher wrote a book on what makes nations succeed and what makes them fail. The Wealth of Nations is still being read today. With the same perspicacity and with the same broad historical perspective, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson have retackled this same question for our own times. Two centuries from now our great-great- . . . -great grandchildren will be, similarly, reading Why Nations Fail." &mdash;George Akerlof, Nobel laureate in economics, 2001 "Why Nations Fail is so good in so many ways that I despair of listing them all. It explains huge swathes of human history. It is equally at home in Asia, Africa and the Americas. It is fair to left and right and every flavor in between. It doesn&rsquo;t pull punches but doesn&rsquo;t insult just to gain attention. It illuminates the past as it gives us a new way to think about the present. It is that rare book in economics that convinces the reader that the authors want the best for ordinary people. It will provide scholars with years of argument and ordinary readers with years of did-you-know-that dinner conversation. It has some jokes, which are always welcome. It is an excellent book and should be purchased forthwith, so to encourage the authors to keep working." &mdash;Charles C. Mann, author of 1491 and 1493 &ldquo;Imagine sitting around a table listening to Jared Diamond, Joseph Schumpeter, and James Madison reflect on over two thousand years of political and economic history. &#160;Imagine that they weave their ideas into a coherent theoretical framework based on limiting extraction, promoting creative destruction, and creating strong political institutions that share power and you begin to see the contribution of this brilliant and engagingly written book.&rdquo; &mdash;Scott E. Page, University of Michigan and Santa Fre Institute&ldquo;This fascinating and readable book centers on the complex joint evolution of political and economic institutions, in good directions and bad. It strikes a delicate balance between the logic of political and economic behavior and the shifts in direction created by contingent historical events, large and small at &lsquo;critical junctures.' Acemoglu and Robinson provide an enormous range of historical examples to show how such shifts can tilt toward favorable institutions, progressive innovation and economic success or toward repressive institutions and eventual decay or stagnation. Somehow they can generate both excitement and reflection.&rdquo; &mdash;Robert Solow, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 1987&ldquo;It&rsquo;s the politics, stupid!&#160;That is Acemoglu and Robinson&rsquo;s simple yet compelling explanation for why so many countries fail to develop.&#160;From the absolutism of the Stuarts to the antebellum South, from Sierra Leone to Colombia, this magisterial work shows how powerful elites rig the rules to benefit themselves at the expense of the many.&#160; Charting a careful course between the pessimists and optimists, the authors demonstrate history and geography need not be destiny.&#160;But they also document how sensible economic ideas and policies often achieve little in the absence of fundamental political change.&rdquo;&mdash;Dani Rodrik, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University&ldquo;Two of the world&rsquo;s best and most erudite economists turn to the hardest&#160; issue of all: why are some nations poor and others rich? Written with a deep knowledge of economics and political history, this is perhaps the most powerful statement made to date that &lsquo;institutions matter.&rsquo;&#160; A provocative, instructive, yet thoroughly enthralling book.&rdquo; &mdash;Joel Mokyr, Robert H. Strotz Professor of Arts and Sciences and Professor of Economics and History, Northwestern University&ldquo;A brilliant and uplifting book&mdash;yet also a deeply disturbing wake-up call.&#160;Acemoglu and Robinson lay out a convincing theory of almost everything to do with economic development.&#160;Countries rise when they put in place the right pro-growth political institutions and they fail&mdash;often spectacularly&mdash;when those institutions ossify or fail to adapt.&#160; Powerful people always and everywhere seek to grab complete control over government, undermining broader social progress for their own greed.&#160;Keep those people in check with effective democracy or watch your nation fail.&rdquo; &mdash;Simon Johnson, co-author of 13 Bankers and professor at MIT Sloan&ldquo;This important and insightful book, packed with historical examples, makes the case that inclusive political institutions in support of inclusive economic institutions is key to sustained prosperity. The book reviews how some good regimes got launched and then had a virtuous spiral, while bad regimes remain in a vicious spiral.&#160; This is important analysis not to be missed.&rdquo; &mdash;Peter Diamond, Nobel Laureate in Economics&#160;&ldquo;Acemoglu and Robinson have made an important contribution to the debate as to why similar-looking nations differ so greatly in their economic and political development. Through a broad multiplicity of historical examples, they show how institutional developments, sometimes based on very accidental circumstances, have had enormous consequences. The openness of a society, its willingness to permit creative destruction, and the rule of&#160; appear to be decisive for economic development.&rdquo; &mdash;Kenneth Arrow, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 1972&#160;&ldquo;Acemoglu and Robinson&mdash;two of the world's leading experts on development&mdash;reveal why it is not geography, disease, or culture which explains why some nations are rich and some poor, but rather a matter of institutions and politics. This highly accessible book provides welcome insight to specialists and general readers alike.&rdquo; &mdash;Francis Fukuyama, author of The End of History and the Last Man and The Origins of Political Order&ldquo;Some time ago a little known Scottish philosopher wrote a book on what makes nations succeed and what makes them fail.&#160; The Wealth of Nations is still being read today.&#160; With the same perspicacity and with the same broad historical perspective, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson have re-tackled this same question for our own times.&#160; Two centuries from now our great-great-&hellip;-great grandchildren will be, similarly, reading Why Nations Fail.&rdquo; &mdash;George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001&#160;&ldquo;In this stunningly wide ranging book Acemoglu and Robinson ask a simple but vital question, why do some nations become rich and others remain poor?&#160; Their answer is also simple&mdash;because some polities develop more inclusive political institutions.&#160; What is remarkable about the book is the crispness and clarity of the writing, the elegance of the argument, and the remarkable richness of historical detail.&#160; This book is a must read at a moment where governments right across the western world must come up with the political will to deal with a debt crisis of unusual proportions.&rdquo; &mdash;Steve Pincus, Bradford Durfee Professor of History and International and Area Studies, Yale University&#160;&ldquo;The authors convincingly show that countries escape poverty only when they have appropriate economic institutions, especially private property and competition. More originally, they argue countries are more likely to develop the right institutions when they have an open pluralistic political system with competition for political office, a widespread electorate, and openness to new political leaders. This intimate connection between political and economic institutions is the heart of their major contribution, and has resulted in a study of great vitality on one of the crucial questions in economics and political economy.&rdquo; &mdash; Gary S. Becker, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 1992&#160;&ldquo;This not only a fascinating and interesting book: it is a really important one.&#160; The highly original research that Professors Acemoglu and Robinson have done, and continue to do,&#160; on how economic forces, politics and policy choices evolve together and constrain each other, and how institutions affect that evolution, is essential to understanding the successes and failures of societies and nations.&#160; And here, in this book, these insights come in a highly accessible, indeed riveting form.&#160; Those who pick this book up and start reading will have trouble putting it down.&rdquo; &macr;Michael Spence, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001"In this delightfully readable romp through 400 years of&#160; history, two of the giants of contemporary social science bring us an inspiring and important message: it is freedom that makes the world rich. Let tyrants everywhere tremble!" &mdash;Ian Morris, Stanford University, author of Why the West Rules &ndash; For Now&ldquo;Acemoglu and Robinson pose the fundamental question concerning the development of the bottom billion. Their answers are profound, lucid, and convincing.&rdquo; &#8213;Paul Collier, Professor of Economics, Oxford University, and author of The Bottom Billion

'This new book from Routledge, which explores the link between the global economic crisis and financial crime, must surely be one of the best.' - Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers (2015)

‘It is a unique innovation in financial markets and financial crime literature, providing an inquiry into the global financial crisis from a distinctive criminal law perspective and, at the same time, bringing some fresh analyses generally, on the current state of the law and practice in this field. Importantly, it also raises a few pertinent unanswered questions, which provide a clear roadmap for further inquiry. […]It is a must read for scholars, students, professionals, commentators and policymakers in law, accountancy, banking and financial industry. As far as Europe and the US are concerned, it is the most current and comprehensive analysis of the regulatory standard and legislative response to current issues plaguing the financial markets.’ Review by Martin-Joe Ezeudu in the King's Law Journal, DOI: 10.1080/09615768.2015.1101903 　
‘In the spirit of helping to address some of the silences in our understandings, the scope of this collection is helpful and impressive. This arises from the breadth of coverage from a range of different and indeed disparate focal points, and from the distinctive angles brought by contributors from different backgrounds: as one would expect, many are academic lawyers, who are joined by specialists in global political economy, and also lawyers providing practitioner perspectives.’ Review by Dr Sarah Wilson in the Journal of International Banking Law and Regulation 2016, 31(1)

‘This book contributes to the critical need to reassess how education can better engage with inequities in knowledge exchange. It provides a new concept, ‘interculturalidad’, that asks the reader to engage with different perspectives on the world without the usual practice of rendering the ‘Other’ exotic, while the referenced cultural is invisible. As a challenge to interculturality, it reveals how power is implicated in dominant narratives in education.’ - Carol Reid, Professor of Sociology of Education, Western Sydney University, Bankstown Campus, Australia 
‘The proposal of using interculturalism as way to decolonise the knowledge of Western scholars, artists, activists, artists, students, organizations, and social movements from assuming epistemological imperialism is an invigorating and reflexive approach which challenges our dominant categories and privilege.’ - Martha Montero-Sieburth, Lecturer, Amsterdam University College, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
‘The main strength of this book is that it represents a unique and valuable contribution to the literature. Its uniqueness lies in its being inter-epistemic rather than simply inter-cultural. This represents a balanced approach that is also more inclusive and integrative. In addition, it speaks to the sources of knowledge—very important and often ignored or forgotten aspects of education. In addition, rather than simply generally encouraging a more balanced approach, it provides a specific and developing alternative perspective—that of interculturalidad.’ - Christopher Deal, Ph.D., Visiting Assistant Professor, Louisiana Tech University, Ruston, Louisiana, USA
