Paperback. Machines That Decide examines how automated systems are reshaping finance, politics, and business through invisible yet powerful forms of digital judgement. Credit scoring, algorithmic trading, fraud monitoring, insurance pricing, recruitment software, workplace surveillance, dynamic pricing, voter targeting, public administration tools, and generative AI now influence decisions once made through direct human judgement. Alessio Faccia analyses how these systems classify people, rank opportunities, structure markets, and affect public trust.A strong analytical lens runs through the book. Readers are guided from the rise of formal rules and predictive models into the deeper mechanics of automated power. Financial systems are examined through lending, portfolio allocation, trading behaviour, compliance, and risk classification. Political chapters address data-driven campaigning, behavioural influence, digital surveillance, manipulated information, and the fragility of electoral trust. Business chapters focus on hiring systems, performance scoring, customer profiling, supply chains, pricing engines, and executive dashboards. Later sections confront bias, opacity, accountability, regulation, explainability, market concentration, and the next generation of generative AI systems.Clear language meets serious depth. The book does not treat automation as a neutral technical upgrade. A harder claim is developed throughout. Machines do not decide alone. Institutions define the objectives, the data, the thresholds, the acceptable errors, and the social trade-offs. A machine-driven outcome may look objective, yet it often reflects hidden assumptions about value, risk, performance, fairness, and control.Readers interested in artificial intelligence, algorithmic decision-making, digital governance, financial technology, political communication, business strategy, and platform power will find a tightly structured analysis of how automated systems now shape modern life. Practical examples are used across banking, insurance, elections, public administration, labour management, and platform markets, making the argument relevant to academics, professionals, policymakers, auditors, students, and strategic decision-makers.Machines That Decide is a timely study of automated power in action. It shows how algorithms affect who gets credit, who gets hired, what people pay, what voters see, what governments know, and how businesses govern workers and consumers. Most importantly, it asks a difficult question many institutions would rather avoid.

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
