Economists

Dieses Buch ist eine schonungslose Abrechnung mit der Tech-Welt und ihrer dominanten Kultur. Es entlarvt die 'Techbro'-Mentalität - eine Mischung aus Machtstreben, toxischer Selbstüberschätzung und der Illusion, Fortschritt exklusiv für wenige schaffen zu können. Menschen wie Elon Musk oder Mark Zuckerberg wollen die Welt nicht retten - sie wollen sie besitzen.Aya Jaff war einst mittendrin. Nun schaut sie hinter die glänzenden Fassaden der Branche, die so viel verspricht, aber tatsächlich soziale Ungleichheit zementiert, Diversität untergräbt und Macht korrumpiert. Das Buch bleibt nicht bei der Kritik stehen, sondern zeigt Wege zu echter Innovation, die der ganzen Gesellschaft zugutekommt. Aya Jaff macht deutlich, warum wir den Begriff 'Innovation' zurückerobern müssen und wie jede:r - ob Konsument:in, Investor:in oder Gründer:in - dazu beitragen kann, Wirtschaft gerechter und nachhaltiger zu gestalten.

No one has ever explained how a venture capitalist plays an active role in creating world-changing companies. The venture capitalist often hires the senior management, helps develop the business model, introduces the company to its largest customers, and provides governance. It is a role akin to being an entrepreneur, not just an investor. This book tells stories of the good, the bad, and the ugly of creating companies, and explains how the VC industry created 80 percent of the American economy. The industry now faces severely damaging legislation. Venture capital is different from leverage buyouts and hedge funds and needs to be regulated in an entirely different way.

Non è assolutamente vero che essere famosi significhi contare davvero qualcosa. Nell'era dei social network, in cui ognuno cerca disperatamente di apparire e di collezionare il maggior numero possibile di amici e di condivisioni, chi davvero esercita un'influenza importante non viene mai, o quasi mai, menzionato. Non c'è alcun accenno, per esempio, alla famiglia Rothschild all'interno dei libri di storia sui quali i nostri ragazzi studiano. Questo cognome è quasi sconosciuto. Questo libro intende dimostrare come i Rothschild, e le altre dinastie imparentate,abbiano influito enormemente sulla storia del nostro pianeta. Un'indagine quanto mai attuale, che spiega molte cose sul famigerato debito pubblico, diventato ormai un'ossessione per milioni e milioni di persone; uno studio che, condotto in parallelo sulle singole grandi famiglie partendo da parecchi secoli fa, dimostra che i grandi banchieri e imprenditori del nostro tempo discendono da antichissime stirpi, spesso di sangue reale, i cui esponenti, intorno al diciassettesimo secolo, sembrano essersi improvvisamente resi conto che il tempo dei privilegi dei nobili stava finendo e che la nuova partita si sarebbe vinta sul terreno del controllo dell'intera economia mondiale. In questa edizione aggiornata troviamo anche un dettagliato indice dei nomi, che ci permette di ricercare all'interno del libro i personaggi, le banche e le aziende che popolano le sue pagine.

In 1852, six Brothers of the Christian Schools, following in the tradition of their founder St. John Baptist de La Salle, gave up all they had and travelled to the Far East to bring education to the poor. They landed in Singapore and established the second school of the La Salle Brothers in this region. Their unparalleled approach to education saw an astronomical rise in student numbers and reputation. For years, St. Joseph's Institution has been an icon of Singapore's history, grooming many of its leaders.An earlier book Men for Others by Warren Fernandez celebrates the first generation of post-independence leaders. In the same spirit, this edition honours some of those who have taken on the mantle of service leadership for the next generation of Singaporeans. Inspiring alumni featured in this edition include Gerard Ee, Justice Chan Seng Onn, Teo Hock Seng, and Peter Seah. This book commemorates the 165th anniversary of the Christian Brothers in Singapore by showing that the mission of those first Brothers is well alive, 165 years on.

Bernie Madoff's arrest could not have come at a more darkly poetic moment. Economic upheaval had plunged America into a horrid recession. Then, on December 11, 2008, Madoff's $65 billion Ponzi scheme came to light. A father turned in by his sons; a son who took his own life; another son dying and estranged from his father; a woman at the center of a storm-Madoff's story was a media magnet, voraciously consumed by a justice-seeking public. Bernie Madoff and the Crisis goes beyond purely investigative accounts to examine how and why Madoff became the epicenter of public fury and titillation. Rooting her argument in critical sociology, Colleen P. Eren analyzes media coverage of this landmark case alongside original interviews with dozens of journalists and editors involved in the reportage, the SEC Director of Public Affairs, and Bernie Madoff himself. Turning the mirror back onto society, Eren locates Madoff within a broader reckoning about free market capitalism. She argues that our ideological and cultural tendencies to attribute blame to individuals-be they regulators, victims, or "monsters" like Madoff-distracts us from more systemic critiques. Bernie Madoff and the Crisis offers fresh insight into the 2008 crisis, whether we have come to terms with it, and what we have yet to gain from the case of the century.
