This book is for anyone seeking an understanding of the 2016 US presidential election and its fallout. It uses analogies from anti-discrimination law that Americans intuitively understand to discuss voting, and asks the question: do Americans have a legal obligation not to racially discriminate in the privacy of the ballot box?

Who gets to say what counts as contemporary art? Artists, critics, curators, gallerists, auctioneers, collectors, or the public? Revealing how all of these groups have shaped today’s multifaceted definition, Terry Smith brilliantly shows that an historical approach offers the best answer to the question: What is Contemporary Art?   Smith argues that the most recognizable kind is characterized by a return to mainstream modernism in the work of such artists as Richard Serra and Gerhard Richter, as well as the retro-sensationalism of figures like Damien Hirst and Takashi Murakami. At the same time, Smith reveals, postcolonial artists are engaged in a different kind of practice: one that builds on local concerns and tackles questions of identity, history, and globalization. A younger generation embodies yet a third approach to contemporaneity by investigating time, place, mediation, and ethics through small-scale, closely connective art making. Inviting readers into these diverse yet overlapping art worlds, Smith offers a behind-the-scenes introduction to the institutions, the personalities, the biennials, and of course the works that together are defining the contemporary. The resulting map of where art is now illuminates not only where it has been but also where it is going.  

In this ambitious book, Terry Smith chronicles the modernist revolution in American art and design between the world wars—from its origins in the new industrial age of mass production, automation, and corporate culture to its powerful and transforming effects on the way Americans came to see themselves and their world. From Ford Motor's first assembly line in 1913 to the New York World's Fair of 1939, Smith traces the evolution of visual imagery in the first half of America's century of progress.

Iconomy: Towards a Political Economy of Images argues that imagery of all kinds has become a definitive force in the shaping of contemporary life. While immersed in public politics and private imaginaries, such imagery also operates according to its own logic, potentialities, and limitations. This book explores viral imagery--the iconopolitics--of the pandemic, U.S. Presidents Trump and Biden, Black Lives Matter, as well as the rise of a "black aesthetic" in white artworlds. Having arrived at the term "iconomy" in the years just prior to 9/11, and tracking its growing relevance since then, Smith argues that its study does not require a discipline serving nation states and globalizing capitalism but, instead, a deconstructive interdiscipline that contributes to the politics of planetary world-making.

Leading fund manager Terry Smith debunks the many myths of investing - and making the case for simply buying the best companies in the world. With his trademark razor-sharp wit, Smith not only reveals what these high-quality companies really look like and where to find them, but also why you should avoid companies that abuse the English language, how most share buybacks actually destroy value and how ESG investors often end up with investments that are far from green or ethical.

Was most of the growth seen in company profits during the late 80s, and in some cases in the early 90s, due to the improved efficiency of British industry - or was it generated from the manipulation of profits by creative accounting? This new edition of ACCOUNTING FOR GROWTH is a ruthless exposure of the accountancy practices - not illegal - which are used to bemuse the investing public and cast a rosy glow over the accounts of companies which in some cases were on the verge of bankruptcy. The first publication of the book in 1992 caused up an uproar in the City and beyond, and as a result of it many of the practices identified by Terry Smith have been changed or discontinued. This new edition, with much new material and additional chapters, is equally hardhitting and will once again put accountancy practices under the microscope.
