Banks are frequently considered usurers. Is it possible to talk about ethics when you analyse banking activity? This book focuses on this question and starts with the history and the philosophy. Philosophers like Aristotle, Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill proposed different theories about the need for ethics in finance. If we accept Mill's thought, the production of wealth in society is driven by the personal pursuit of profit. But - unfortunately - this does not, on its own, ensure collective well-being. It must be guided by a superior mechanism which transforms it into wealth for all. This introduces the role of financial institutions, which often have to comply with legal obligations. The book focuses on the role that these institutions have in supporting the ‘ethical’ use of money. The author analyses a number of cases in banks and the financial industry and discusses topics like anti-money laundering, anti-usury, islamic finance, microcredit and bank rescue systems, including not only best practices but also examples of unethical financial management.
In recent decades, there has been a groundbreaking evolution in technology. Every year, technology not only advances, but it also spreads throughout industries. Many fields such as law, education, business, engineering, and more have adopted these advanced technologies into their toolset. These technologies have a vastly different effect ranging from these different industries. The Handbook of Research on Applying Emerging Technologies Across Multiple Disciplines examines how technologies impact many different areas of knowledge.

A meno di vent'anni da Calciopoli, la Juventus è di nuovo nell'occhio del ciclone. Per la gestione finanziaria troppo "creativa" degli ultimi anni la Vecchia Signora è tornata nel mirino dei tribunali, nonostante i silenzi imbarazzati delle istituzioni calcistiche e pene sportive inferiori alle attese. Plusvalenze fittizie tramite lo scambio con club "amici" di carneadi valutati decine di milioni, stipendi dilazionati con manovre oscure, bilanci non veritieri, il tutto per nascondere una situazione finanziaria da allarme rosso malgrado le ricapitalizzazioni dell'azionista di maggioranza, la Exor: condotte che hanno falsato, lo dicono i magistrati, i campionati degli ultimi anni, compresi a...

Un sistema oscuro, regolato da norme confuse, da meccanismi segreti e con iter processuali poco chiari e troppo frettolosi che niente hanno a che fare con la parola giustizia. Da ormai quarant'anni il campionato di Serie A e il calcio italiano in generale vengono periodicamente sconvolti da scandali che finiscono per stravolgere le classifiche maturate sul campo. I passaporti falsi, Calciopoli, gli scandali delle curve ultras, il calcio scommesse, le plusvalenze gonfiate... Quando scoppia un caso, come nel 2023 con la Juventus, i giornali e le televisioni sviscerano in ogni modo le incongruenze e gli apparenti illeciti che coinvolgono le squadre, ma raramente indagano la giustizia sportiva c...
Italians to America is the first indexed reference work devoted to Italian immigrants to the United States. This series contains passenger list information in chronological order on the first major wave of Italian migration during the last two decades of the 19th century, as well as the beginning of the 20th century. As with the highly regarded companion series on German immigrants, Italians to America presents the passenger lists in chronological order, including information on each person's age, sex, occupation, village of origin, and destination, plus the name of the ship, the port of embarkation, and the date of arrival. Each volume also contains an introduction on the history of Italian migration to the U.S. and a full name index, greatly simplifying the researcher's job.
