Summary

Four political analysts explore the importance of local issues to global business and politics in this fully updated edition of The Kimchi Matters. 
 
Today’s focus on globalization has obscured the fact that political stability and economic growth are determined at the local level. Investors and foreign policymakers set themselves up for failure when they don’t consider the unique local dynamics of a particular country or region. This is equally true for companies venturing abroad and for politicians facing geopolitical challenges. 
 
In their 2003 book The Kimchi Matters, the authors demonstrated how globalization made it more important than ever to understand the political economies of distant countries. Now they have returned to that acclaimed work with updated accounts of situations around the world—including in Russia, India, China, Argentina, and Brazil—and refine the principles they laid out in the first edition.
Available since: 04/01/2011.
Print length: 386 pages.

    “For anyone who wants to understand how the African economy really works, The Bright Continent is a good place to start” (Reuters).   Dayo Olopade knew from personal experience that Western news reports on conflict, disease, and poverty obscure the true story of modern Africa. And so she crossed sub-Saharan Africa to document how ordinary people deal with their daily challenges.   She found what cable news ignores: a continent of ambitious reformers and young social entrepreneurs driven by kanju—creativity born of African difficulty. It’s a trait found in pioneers like Kenneth Nnebue, who turned cheap VHS tapes into the multimillion-dollar film industry Nollywood. Or Ushahidi, a technology collective that crowdsources citizen activism and disaster relief.   A shining counterpoint to conventional wisdom, The Bright Continent rewrites Africa’s challenges as opportunities to innovate, and celebrates a history of doing more with less as a powerful model for the rest of the world.   “[An] upbeat study of development in Africa . . . The book is written more in wonder at African ingenuity than in anger at foreign incomprehension.” —The New Yorker   “A hopeful narrative about a continent on the rise.” —The New York Times Book Review

    Financial Illiteracy Is Costing You More Than $35,000. Here’s How to Change That: 
     Did you know that the average millennial in the US is $36,000 in debt? Sound familiar? 
    You’ve just gotten out of college and you’re overwhelmed by student loan payments. Not only that, an entry-level job is keeping you from earning the money that would support the lifestyle you desire. 
    So, what can you do about it? 
    Is there any way to gain financial stability as early as in your 20s or 30s? 
    Of course there is! And the answer happens to be a whole lot simpler than what you may imagine when thinking of saving and investing. 
    For a start, you need to get out of debt asap. 
    The longer you remain a part of the vicious cycle, the more difficult it is to get out of the debt swamp. 
    You can be debt-free in your late 20s. To accomplish this goal, however, you’ll need to do some financial growing up. 
    Once you manage to kill the debt beast, you can move on to pursue all your life goals – saving enough to retire early, starting a family, buying a house, or starting your own business. 
    Financial literacy consists of several simple, yet essential, concepts you’ll need to master. In other words, you’ll need to learn smart instead of hard when it comes to personal asset management.
