Summary

The Nobel Prize–winning economist explains how value is created, and how that affects everything from your paycheck to global markets.   In this “lively, enlightening introduction to monetary history” (Kirkus Reviews), one of the leading figures of the Chicago school of economics that rejected the theories of John Maynard Keynes offers a journey through history to illustrate the importance of understanding monetary economics, and how monetary theory can ignite or deepen inflation.   With anecdotes revealing the far-reaching consequences of seemingly minor events—for example, how two obscure Scottish chemists destroyed the presidential prospects of William Jennings Bryan, and how FDR’s domestic politics helped communism triumph in China—as well as plain-English explanations of what the monetary system in the United States means for your personal finances and for everyone from the small business owner on Main Street to the banker on Wall Street, Money Mischief is an enlightening read from the author of Capitalism and Freedom and Free to Choose, who was called “the most influential economist of the second half of the twentieth century” by the Economist.
Available since: 03/31/1994.

    Becoming a Category of One teaches how extraordinary  companies do what they do so well, and how to obtain the tools and  ideas you need to emulate them.  Full of case studies and  personal reflections by leaders of exceptional companies, this book  is designed to help anyone transform their run-of-the-mill business  into an extraordinary company-whether you operate a multinational  corporation or a mom-and-pop shop.   For the second edition, Joe will update many cultural  references, and case studies and anecdotes will be added or at  least revised.  The most significant change will be replacing  the original last chapter, "The Heart of a Category of One  Performer," with a new chapter, "Sustaining Category of One  Status."  This chapter will focus on companies that have been  market leaders for a long period of time (i.e. Southwest Airlines,  American Girl Stores, Ritz-Carlton Hotels, etc.)  Joe will  also trim some existing chapters to make room for an entirely new  chapter, "Consistency of Performance is the New Wow Factor."

    “Marries scholarly discipline with intriguing reading . . . The book will satisfy the thirst of historians, musicians and perhaps even an economist or two.” —American Music Teacher 
 
To be successful, a musician often has to be an entrepreneur: someone who starts a performing venue, develops patrons, and promotes the project aggressively. Accomplishing this requires musicians to acquire social and business skills and to be highly opportunistic in what they do. In The Musician as Entrepreneur, 1700–1914, international scholars investigate cases of musical entrepreneurship between around 1700 and 1914 in Britain, France, Germany, and the United States. By uncovering the ways in which musicians such as Telemann, Beethoven, Paganini, and Liszt conducted their daily business, the authors reveal how musicians reshaped the frameworks of musical culture and, in the process, the nature of the music itself. 
 
“Weber is an excellent music historian and the book will please all readers interested in musical sociology.” —Choice
