Summary:
This volume proposes a reappraisal of the 1967 Montreal International and Universal Exhibition across a range of political, social, and cultural spaces: from the dispossession of Indigenous Peoples and what was then known as the Third World, through the aspirations of Montreal, Quebec, and Canada, to the increasingly global ambit of youth culture, medicine, film, and finance. A new approach to understanding Expo 67, the collection challenges assumptions about the significance of the event to Canadian, Québécois, and First Nations history.

Summary:
The realm of finance has its own eco-logics. Hectocorns offer behemoths poison pills, whales take fledglings to the moon, disappear into dark pools, and form fraudulent daisy chains with one another.

Summary:
The realm of finance has its own eco-logics. Hectocorns offer behemoths poison pills, whales take fledglings to the moon, disappear into dark pools, and form fraudulent daisy chains with one another. This book examines slang terms used by traders and other financial professionals, transporting us to a landscape both real and supernatural. Between what these terms mean and the ecological world they refer to, Benjaminsen and Casey detect a rich mythological history. Unpacking this seductive language reveals the absurd (super)natural ‘fictions’ that materially and violently shape our worldly ecology.

Summary:
Le collectif Rybn.org traque les manifestations physiques et concrètes de la finance offshore dans les territoires sur lesquels elle opère. Empruntant les stratégies radicales de l’extra-disciplinaire, cet ouvrage collectif qui rassemble les écrits de vingt-et-un artistes, hackers et philosophes, dresse l’inventaire des mutations les plus récentes du capitalisme offshore. De la politique des proxys à l’extractivisme spatial et à la marchandisation des communs, en passant par la citoyenneté par investissement et le marché de l’art, tout nous indique que la «gouvernance offshore» est devenue la norme, qu’elle est le capitalisme globalisé.

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.

Summary:
Dernier ouvrage d’un des plus grand historien du XXe siècle, Le Bourgeois de Paris au Moyen Âge est la somme de toutes les découvertes de Jean Favier sur ce qui fait de Paris la première ville d’Europe pendant l’époque féodale. Commerçants, boutiquiers, artisans, gens de finance, praticiens du droit… Les bourgeois se veulent autonomes et forment la substance même de la ville. Ils n’avancent pourtant pas tous du même pas, les niveaux et les modes de vie se différencient et se hiérarchisent, les évolutions politiques et économiques pèsent sur les hommes, de fortes personnalités s’imposent, des dynasties s’installent.
