Failure
Wall Street and Silicon Valley – the two worlds this book examines – promote the illusion that scarcity can and should be eliminated in the age of seamless “flow.” Instead, Appadurai and Alexander propose a theory of habitual and strategic failure by exploring debt, crisis, digital divides, and (dis)connectivity.Moving between the planned obsolescence and deliberate precariousness of digital technologies and the “too big to fail” logic of the Great Recession, they argue that the sense of failure is real in that it produces disappointment and pain.Yet, failure is not a self-evident quality of projects, institutions, technologies, or lives.It requires a new and urgent understanding of the conditions under which repeated breakdowns and collapses are quickly forgotten. By looking at such moments of forgetfulness, this highly original book offers a multilayered account of failure and a general theory of denial, memory, and nascent systems of control.

On the other hand, right heart failure and backward failure refer to the inability of the right side of the heart to effectively pump blood to the lungs for oxygenation, resulting in symptoms like fluid retention and swelling in the body. Essentially, left heart failure affects the systemic circulation, while right heart failure impacts the pulmonary circulation.

Is failure predetermined?
Failure is not predetermined. While there may be factors that increase the likelihood of failure, such as lack of preparation or poor decision-making, ultimately the outcome of any endeavor is influenced by a combination of factors, including effort, skill, and circumstances. It is important to recognize that failure is a natural part of the learning process and can provide valuable lessons for future success.

Metaphysics of Nature and Failure in Kant's Opus postumum
Focusing on moments of continuity and rupture, as well as the thin lines of fracture in Critical philosophy itself, Metaphysics of Nature and Failure in Kant’s Opus postumum navigates the rough terrain of Kant’s final thoughts.Terrence Thomson argues that Opus postumum constitutes Kant’s last attempt to deliver on the promise of a system of speculative reason in a work called ‘metaphysics of nature’.He journeys through the drafts left on Kant’s desk when he died to encounter their failure to establish this work rather than their projected success.Far from this signaling that we give up on serious study of the Opus postumum, however, Thomson shows how failure is not something Kant shied away from but rather embraced as fuel for his continued thinking.Indeed, it is this failure that opens the door to a greater understanding of the dissonances at the core of Critical philosophy itself.Moreover, it indicates what it means to be in the process of philosophizing and that Kant was well-aware that to think often means to repeatedly fail. Suggesting how the very call for a metaphysics to be established upon the Critical philosophy can only ever fail to abide by the threshold it sets up, this book offers a new perspective on the central bind Kant repeatedly confronts in Opus postumum within the modern European tradition of philosophy.To deliver the system of metaphysics Kant calls for means to transgress the bounds of Critical philosophy, but to attempt to deliver it is nonetheless an unavoidable part of Critical philosophy itself.

Scandinavian Unexceptionalism : Culture, Markets and the Failure of Third-Way Socialism
Scandinavian countries have been praised for their high levels of welfare provision and their economic and social outcomes.It is true that they are successful by most reasonable measures.However, Scandinavia's success story predated the welfare state.For example, Sweden began to fall behind as the state grew rapidly from the 1960s.Between 1870 and 1936, Sweden enjoyed the highest growth rate in the industrialised world.However, between 1936 and 2008, the growth rate was only 13th out of 28 industrialised nations.Between 1975 and the mid-1990s, Sweden went from being the 4th richest nation in the world to the 13th.Many analyses of Scandinavian countries conflate correlation with causality.It is clear that many of the desirable features of Scandinavian societies, such as low income inequality, low levels of poverty and high levels of economic growth predated the development of the welfare state.These and other indicators began to deteriorate after the expansion of the welfare state and the increase in taxes to fund it.
