Summary:
Print on demand has revolutionized publishing. Digital printing and online platforms such as Blurb, Lulu and Kindle Direct Publishing allow anyone to publish work immediately and without financial risk, opening up spaces beyond the trade book world and ostensibly democratizing production. Today an entire subculture is exploring print on demand in search of new economies and publics, while also critically negotiating our digital present. "The Library of Artistic Print on Demand" maps this experimental field for the first time, exploring its global spread, history, contradictions and political relevance through writings from international publishers and authors.

With the concept of the ''Imperial mode of living,'' Brand and Wissen highlight the fact that capitalism implies uneven development as well as a constant and accelerating universalisation of a Western mode of production and living.

Summary:
With the concept of the ''Imperial mode of living,'' Brand and Wissen highlight the fact that capitalism implies uneven development as well as a constant and accelerating universalisation of a Western mode of production and living. The logic of liberal markets since the nineteenth century, and especially since World War II, has been inscribed into everyday practices that are usually unconsciously reproduced. The authors show that they are a main driver of the ecological crisis and economic and political instability. ''The imperial mode of living'' implies that people’s everyday practices, including individual and societal orientations, as well as identities, rely heavily on the unlimited appropriation of resources; a disproportionate claim on global and local ecosystems and sinks; and cheap labour from elsewhere. This availability of commodities is largely organised through the world market, backed by military force and/or the asymmetric relations of forces as they have been inscribed in international institutions. Moreover, the ''Imperial mode of living'' implies asymmetrical social relations along class, gender and race within the respective countries. Here too, it is driven by the capitalist accumulation imperative, growth-oriented state policies and status consumption. The concrete production conditions of commodities are rendered invisible in the places where the commodities are consumed. The imperialist world order is normalised through the mode of production and living.

Icebergs, zombies, and the ultra thin: architecture and capitalism in the twenty-first century
$38.95
(available to order)
Summary:
In "Icebergs, zombies, and the ultra thin," Matthew Soules issues an indictment of how finance capitalism dramatically alters not only architectural forms but also the very nature of our cities and societies. We rarely consider architecture to be an important factor in contemporary economic and political debates, yet sparsely occupied ultra-thin "pencil towers" develop in(...)

Summary:
In "Icebergs, zombies, and the ultra thin," Matthew Soules issues an indictment of how finance capitalism dramatically alters not only architectural forms but also the very nature of our cities and societies. We rarely consider architecture to be an important factor in contemporary economic and political debates, yet sparsely occupied ultra-thin "pencil towers" develop in our cities, functioning as speculative wealth storage for the superrich, and cavernous "iceberg" homes extend architectural assets many stories below street level. Meanwhile, communities around the globe are blighted by zombie and ghost urbanism, marked by unoccupied neighborhoods and abandoned housing developments.
