Este livro examina a assimetria de informação como um fator estrutural e decisivo nas finanças modernas, com ênfase especial em ambientes baseados em dados. A obra investiga como a distribuição desigual de informações entre agentes econômicos pode gerar desequilíbrios, riscos e oportunidades estratégicas em diferentes contextos, como crédito, seguros, mercado acionário e investimentos individuais. A partir de uma abordagem multidisciplinar, o livro articula fundamentos teóricos clássicos, como os modelos de Akerlof, Spence e Stiglitz, com estudos recentes sobre inteligência artificial, big data e novas formas de intermediação algorítmica. Os capítulos apresentam casos concretos e discussões sobre seleção adversa, risco moral, monitoramento automatizado e uso de dados não tradicionais. O texto também explora o papel das finanças comportamentais na formação de assimetrias cognitivas e a forma como algoritmos podem tanto mitigar quanto ampliar desigualdades informacionais. Em particular, discute-se o impacto da IA generativa, do open banking e da personalização algorítmica sobre a tomada de decisão financeira e a transparência dos mercados. O capítulo final amplia a análise para setores públicos e privados essenciais, com destaque para a saúde pública como estudo de caso. Demonstra-se como a má gestão da informação compromete a alocação de recursos, a sustentabilidade fiscal e a confiança social nos sistemas financeiros e de saúde. Ao longo da obra, reforça-se que a vantagem competitiva sustentável, em um mundo orientado por dados, depende cada vez mais da capacidade de interpretar, proteger e utilizar a informação de forma ética, estratégica e eficaz.

Joseph Ward of Dakota chronicles the life and work of Joseph Ward (1838-1889), a pioneering Congregational minister and educator in the Dakota Territory.

It highlights his leadership, his commitment to social reform, and his enduring impact on the cultural landscape of South Dakota. This book provides valuable insights into the history of the American West, the role of religious institutions in shaping society, and the biography of a remarkable individual.

For 10 months of the year, two men are drawn to adjacent seats in a stadium, carrying the burdens of life and pouring all their hopes into their beloved but ailing team. Fatherless and fretful, the Young Man is trying to nurture a precarious new relationship and to find his place in the world. The Old Man, an increasingly isolated caregiver for his fading wife, knows he has little left to look forward to. Neither fan is a comfortable talker. However, in a slow-motion play of nods, silences and guarded chats, they strike up a tentative friendship across the generational gap. Told through 38 chapters–one for each game of the Premier League campaign– Season is a lyrical, hypnotic and gently uplifting study of loneliness and modern masculinity. About much more than football, it celebrates the healing, unifying and maddening role of ritualized sport in the lives of ordinary people.

Quando i Beatles fecero la loro dirompente comparsa sul radar popolare si avvertì la ne- cessità di distinguere e identificare ciascuno dei quattro; e George Harrison fu etichettato come il «Beatle tranquillo». Harrison però divenne molte cose al di là del suo soprannome, e da Beatle tranquillo si trasformò in Beatle indagatore, l'esploratore spirituale del gruppo, il più impegnato a incontrare sciamani, il più determinato a trovare un guru, e intrecciò quella ricerca con la sua musica. Quando, all'apice della popolarità, i Beatles si sciolsero, Harrison fu il primo a raggiungere da solo la vetta delle classifiche, lodando il divino in svariati modi e con svariati nomi e ponendo il più grande tra i grandi quesiti: che cos'è la vita? What Is Life riunisce le interviste più irriverenti e penetranti del chitarrista di Liverpool, raccolte dalle sapienti mani di Ashley Kahn. È la cronistoria della metamorfosi musicale e intellettuale di un artista meditativo ed enigmatico, schietto e ironico – da quando, quindicenne, il compagno di scuola Paul McCartney lo presenta a John Lennon e agli altri Quarrymen a quando, nel novembre 1960, la polizia tedesca pone fine alla prima, straordinaria stagione di concerti dei Beatles; da quando, in un letto a Bournemouth, annebbiato dall'influenza e dalla morfina, scrive «Don't Bother Me», la sua prima canzone, a quando rimane folgorato dal sitar di Ravi Shankar e dalla spiritualità indù; fino a quando, alla vigilia del 2000, un folle lo aggredisce in casa sua, risvegliando i peggiori incubi dei fan dei Fab Four. What Is Life è un viaggio nei sentimenti, nell'umorismo, nelle fragilità e anche nelle vanità dell'artista che mise in suoni la finitudine dell'esistenza umana, ricordandoci che tutte le cose, in fondo, devono passare. E che del Beatle tranquillo ha sempre conservato quella sensibilità che ha portato la sua voce a essere un prodigio di modernità, messaggera del bene collettivo, perfino inno alla gioia usato oggi, a vent'anni dalla morte, negli ospedali americani per salutare i pazienti che rinascono dopo la terapia intensiva: «Here comes the sun...».
