The story of cryptocurrency is a history of the modern world reflected in technology. It is based on the different narratives that have shaped the economic and political reality of a world spinning out of control. It is also the story of a financial revolution that carries the seeds of its own destruction. Once intended as a peer-to-peer medium of payment, crypto has today morphed almost exclusively into a speculative investment asset. How can we decode crypto, learn from its mistakes, and predict what the future holds for this new currency? In Popping the Crypto Bubble, we uncover the truth about the technology behind cryptocurrency, its political ideations and the narratives that drive the biggest economic bubble in the history of mankind. A bubble waiting to explode, and already exploding.
Existing research on the rise of precarious forms of employment has paid little attention to gender and diversity challenges. Yet precarious work has damaging effects for vulnerable demographics, with women, ethnic minorities and people with disabilities more considerably affected. This volume unpacks this research and offers insights into the role of organizations in fostering inclusive change. It draws an awareness of precarious work and diversity in organizations in three ways: 1. Uncovers and documents the variety of issues facing vulnerable demographic groups at work. 2. Promotes greater scholarship on the link between precarious work and diversity during economic and social upheaval. 3. Develops a research program and agenda that sheds light into new and important aspects of precarious work and diversity issues. A group of international scholars come together to discuss ways to address these challenges and offer a way forward for the future.

Balsoy uses previously untapped archival sources to examine these developments, arguing that these changes caused reproduction to become a political experience.
