This is an eighteenth-century report on which much of modern-day American economic policy is founded. When first presented it was not universally accepted. Alexander Hamilton was an important figure in American political history, being the first treasury secretary.
A modern organization can’t survive without innovation. It happens all the time: Vibrant and cutting-edge companies get comfortable — and complacent. They lose touch with their innovative roots. Their dynamic culture slips away. Bureaucracy takes over. Progress slows. Then stops. It’s leadership’s job to set things back on course. Unfortunately, most leaders don’t know how. They’ve been taught outdated strategies. Strategies that don’t move the needle. Strategies that don’t work in this dynamic day and age. So, despite everyone’s best intentions, nothing changes. The solution: an innovation playbook for the modern era. When Brigadier General John “Dragon” Teichert took command of Edwards Air Force Base in 2018, it was choked by bureaucracy and complacency. He applied a unique and unorthodox strategy to launch an innovation movement and unleash the individual genius of the base’s 11,000 Airmen. The result? Edwards became the most innovative Air Force Base on the planet, dwarfing the innovation activity of the rest of the Air Force combined. In this book, he reveals exactly how he did it. Written by a leader for leaders, BOOM! is jam-packed with fascinating aviation analogies, little-known stories of Air Force hero Chuck Yeager, intriguing tales from the highest visibility base on the planet, and stories of internationally impactful activities in war-torn Iraq. BOOM! reveals an innovation roadmap that transcends jet planes and rockets – a process that can work for any leader, at any level, in any industry, who wants to move their mission forward and deliver outstanding results.Ver libro

This book contains the following titles: - The Feudal System: Feudalism was a dominant social, economic, and political system in medieval Europe that shaped the lives of millions from the 9th to the 15th centuries. Rooted in the decline of the Roman Empire, it emerged as a response to the need for local defense, stability, and order. With the fall of centralized authority, particularly in the wake of the collapse of Roman imperial power, local leaders, and warriors filled the vacuum, giving rise to a new hierarchical structure that became the backbone of medieval society. - The End of Feudalism: Feudalism was a social, political, and economic system that dominated medieval Europe, particularly from the 9th to the 15th century. Its structure was based on the exchange of land for loyalty, military service, and labor. At its core, feudalism established a hierarchical order in which the king, or monarch, granted land, known as fiefs, to vassals (nobles) in exchange for their service. In turn, these vassals would grant portions of their land to serfs or peasants, who worked the land in return for protection and sustenance. This land-based economy was highly localized, with power concentrated in the hands of a few, and much of daily life revolved around agricultural production.Ver libro
