电子书：Where America Went Wrong: And How To Regain Her Democratic Ideals

Where America Went Wrong: And How To Regain Her Democratic IdealsByJohn R. Talbott

Publisher:Financial Times Prentice Hall2004 |288 Pages | ISBN: 0131430513 | PDF | 1 MB

John Talbott's call to revitalize American democracy also contains a powerful message for the rest of the world: namely, that democratic governance and the rule of law constitute the key to economic development. It's a compelling message that deserves the widest possible hearing.—Carl Gershman, President of the National Endowment for Democracy.

This is a fascinating and ambitious book. Not everybody will agree with the arguments. But I believe everybody will be challenged and stimulated by them.—Daron Acemoglu, Professor of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Clearly written and told with passion and conviction, Where America Went Wrong? lays before us a compelling picture of an America that is under siege by corporations, special interests and the rich and powerful. It is our very future as a democracy that is at stake. The book deserves to be read by everyone who cares about America.—D. Quinn Mills, Professor, Harvard Business School.

Who believes that America is currently living up to its potential? Is the American government the best it can be at being responsive to its citizens? Is the American and world economy as strong as they might be? Are Americans as happy as they might be? Why has world opinion turned strongly against America?

While the symptoms are generally apparent everywhere that there is something fundamentally wrong with America, the remedy is very specific-we have lost our democratic tradition. The question for America no longer comes down to Democrats vs. Republicans or liberals vs. conservatives or free market libertarians vs. anti-globalists, but rather to a simple formulation of the people vs. the elites. Some might argue that such delineation might initiate a class war. Wake up! The class war has already begun.

Something has gone terribly wrong in America. The bastion of democratic freedom in the world is ignoring its own democratic traditions at home and abroad and the results are immediate and painful. World opinion of America has dropped precipitously. The world economy has stalled, especially in Africa and Latin America. Americans are consuming more and enjoying it less. The world is not at peace.

It is time for Americans and members of the world community who are unhappy with the direction that America is going to stand up and raise their voices. Elites, big corporations, and special interests have had their failed day in the sun and now it time to return America to its people to which it owes everything.

The solution is democratic reform. Talbott shows how greater direct democracy can revitalize not just our politics, but our economy as well. Voting rights, constitutional rights, human rights, democratic institutions, a free press, civil liberties, and especially rights to assemble and speak are important not just in the world's repressive regimes but also in America, which has seen a long erosion of these basic rights so important to her people's prosperity and individual freedoms.

America's next great political battle won't be fought between Democrats and Republicans: it will be fought between elitists and populists. This book begins that battle.

Reviving democracy in America. Who stole our country-and how to get it back? Or did we just let them take it without a fight?

Failing democracy, failing economy. Why a strong American economy requires a strong democracy

Corporations are not people. Ending corporate dominance in American politics

Big media. Whatever happened to the free press?

电子书：Reading Minds and Markets: Minimizing Risk and Maximizing Returns in a Volatile Global Marketplace

Reading Minds and Markets: Minimizing Risk and Maximizing Returns in a Volatile Global MarketplaceByJack Ablin, Suzanne McGee

Publisher:FT Press2009 |224 Pages | ISBN: 0132354977 | PDF | 1 MB

"Read Jack Ablin's 'five factor' approach to investing and you not only will sleep better at night, you'll be a smarter, wiser human being. Ablin takes you on his twenty-year journey toward a unified, rational approach to investing that can help you weather even the most turbulent financial storms. This book may be one of the best investments you will ever make." --John Callaway, Senior Correspondent, WTTW, Public Television

"This book is based on verifiable data trends and years of experience with a broad array of economic and market numbers. Regret over investment losses need not lead investors to disengage their brains or to be robbed again by schemes hawked as 'new and improved.' Reading Minds and Markets will help jump-start an honest investment dialogue that has been sidetracked by excesses of greed and fear." --Bill Barnhart, Former Financial Editor and Columnist for the Chicago Tribune

"The author has taken the complex world of investing and provided an extremely practical approach to success where others have failed miserably. His grasp of the financial markets makes him eminently qualified to develop an extremely sound and practical approach in order to protect and enhance wealth for investors." --Edward ("Ned") Riley, Jr., Former Chief Investment Officer for State Street Global Advisors and Chief Investment Officer, Riley Asset Management

"With nearly three decades of experience, Jack Ablin's superb intellectual thinking is reflected in Reading Minds and Markets. This is great reading for the motivated investor." --Professor Israel Shaked, Finance and Economics Department, Boston University, School of Management

You can do more to protect yourself from market risks and down markets. The secret: Understand the big picture and know when to shift money toward more promising industry groups, sectors, or asset classes. This strategy is called "global macro investing"--and, as Chief Investment Officer for Harris Private Bank, Jack Ablin has used it to deliver results for many of the world's wealthiest families and individuals. In Reading Minds and Markets, Ablin distills his techniques into a remarkably simple, commonsense five-step plan that any investor can use. You'll discover how to anticipate some of the more significant shifts in global markets and move investments toward areas that are more likely to grow. Equally important, you'll learn how to overcome bad habits that inevitably lead to failure--habits all too often reinforced by the financial media. In today's unforgiving markets, you need to make smarter high-level decisions and fewer mistakes: This book will help you do both.

*Why you musttake a top-down view of the market--and how to do it Avoid getting caught off-guard in choppy, highly volatile markets

*Respond to the market's powerful signals about relative risk Master strategies for improving return without increasing risk

*Discover the five factors that consistently tell you where to invest Cut through the clutter of irrelevant data: find what matters and use it

*Stop being your own worst enemy Overcome the #1 obstacle to structuring your best portfolio: human nature

电子书：Beat the Crisis: 33 Quick Solutions for Your Company

Beat the Crisis: 33 Quick Solutions for Your Company By Hermann Simon

Publisher: Springer 2009-12-11 | 159 Pages | ISBN: 1441908226 | PDF | 10.2 MB

Newspaper columns blare the news daily. There is no doubt that we are struggling through a worldwide economic and financial crisis of a magnitude not witnessed since the Great Depression.

In this environment, fraught with danger, no company can afford to take a wait-and-see attitude. One hesitation or misstep can result in the rapid demise of a once stalwart enterprise. Even small miscalculations can topple mighty empires; consider the U.S. auto industry, for example. The severity of the crisis demands that your company understand its causes, diagnose carefully, implement decisively and monitor constantly.

However, the crisis also creates chances for companies that learn to assess risk, recognize opportunity and take action quickly. This book is an antidote to the chorus of doom-and-gloom, a manual for business leaders and employees who are ready to fight. In Beat the Crisis, international strategy guru, Hermann Simon, offers 33 practical actions that any company can take immediately. Organized into broad categories—"Changing Customer Needs," "Sales and the Sales Force," "Managing Offers and Prices" and "Services"—Simon shows companies how to focus on the areas where emphatic action can have quick and maximum impact on corporate performance. Drawing from dozens of successful cases around the world, Simon helps readers learn to read the market signals, develop quick solutions, and stay a step ahead of their competitors, while avoiding the pitfalls looming in the crisis. A concluding chapter looks beyond the crisis and considers the longer-term socio-political and business consequences, in which Simon foresees a new era of restraint.

电子书：Pow! Right Between the Eyes: Profiting from the Power of Surprise

Pow! Right Between the Eyes: Profiting from the Power of Surprise By Andy Nulman

Publisher: Wiley 2009-02-24 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0470405503 | PDF | 16 MB

Pow! Radical new methods for reaching jaded, cynical consumers

Put simply, when it comes to your business, your new idea, even yourself, this book can be the difference between a "Who cares?" and a "Holy cow!"

Business, both big and small, is in desperate need of new ways to inspire bored and cynical consumers who have grown weary of the same old song and dance. In today’s information economy, it doesn’t matter how many people you reach, but how much attention they pay. And the best way to get attention is with the powerful, but largely misunderstood, element of surprise.

Pow! Enter Andy Nulman with the art of surprise marketing. An explosive new outlook, surprise marketing solidifies the bond between you and your customers like nothing else, and keeps them coming back for more by providing a continuous flow of what they never expected. Pow! Right Between the Eyes reveals the secrets, theories, and tactics of surprise marketing, and wields outrageous real-world examples (and even more outrageous tools like "The Lubricant to Yes" and "Euphoric Shock") to help expand the boundaries of the extreme and create a bigger bang for bigger profits.

On his quest to unlock the secret of why some things knock your socks off and others put you to sleep, Nulman shares insights from director Alfred Hitchcock, designer Philippe Starck, playwright David Mamet, Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane, Harvard psychologists, songwriters, bloggers, and even the inventor of Pirate Booty snack chips. And he shows how today’s smartest companies are winning big with surprises stories like:

• How Oprah’s shocking announcement that "Everybody gets a car!" sent her Web site traffic up 800% and helped the Pontiac G6 outsell its competitors by 20%

• How Target earns $7 billion a year in free publicity with stunts like a floating temporary store in New York’s Hudson River or putting on a vertical fashion show where acrobat models walked down the side of Rockefeller Center

• How Bear Naked Granola reversed the trick-or-treat tradition by sending costumed street teams door-to-door to give away granola samples on Halloween

Andy Nulman is a wildly-successful businessman and even wilder public speaker who first learned the power of surprise working with Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, and many other comedians as the cofounder and CEO of the Just For Laughs Festival, the world’s largest comedy event. His book shares hilarious and effective surprise promotions that he himself dreamed up for the event and in his current position as cofounder, President, and CMO of Airborne Mobile, which brings brands like Maxim, Family Guy, and the NFL to the mobile media world.

Don’t forget to read the book’s two forewords by the legendary John Cleese and CBS Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson. Surprising choices for a business book? Well…what did you expect?

电子书：Fiscal Hangover: How to Profit From The New Global Economy

Keith Fitz-Gerald, "Fiscal Hangover: How to Profit From The New Global Economy"

Wiley | 2009 | ISBN: 0470289147 | 333 pages | PDF | 3,6 MB

The rules of making money have changed-forever With the collapse of investment banks, trillion-dollar-plus government bailouts, and the Dow plunging like a rock, it's never been more important to understand-and actually profit from-the "new rules." Fact is, Fiscal Hangover, will give you an investing blueprint that will allow you to profit from the changing global economy.

For the first time in 200 years, American consumers are stepping down from their position as the driving force behind the world's economy. In Fiscal Hangover, Keith Fitz-Gerald analyzes the declining power of the American consumer and introduces you to the resulting investment opportunities. Without question, the American consumer and the United States government have provided the rest of the world with liquidity in the form of cheap capital and abundant debt. But in light of recent economic events, the rules of the game have changed and that means you must change with them-if you intend on securing your financial future.

Unlike most of today's finance books that simply examine the end of the American Empire, Fiscal Hangover shows you how to prepare for the fall, effectively allocate your investments, and thrive in the new global economy. This book offers specific analysis and concrete actionable steps for individual investors interested in grabbing their fair share of what will be the greatest wealth creation in the history of mankind.

Examines our current financial situation and offers practical investment advice to overcome the challenges you'll face

Analyzes the declining power of the American consumer and introduces you to the resulting investment opportunities

Details new investing benchmarks and discusses why the old ones no longer work

Explores big picture economic issues that will affect your individual investment endeavors

The coming years may hold the greatest investment opportunities of our times, but in order to take advantage of this you'll need the insights that can only be found in Fiscal Hangover.
