Sinopsis

Dutch Trade investigates how the Netherlands, a small nation, rose to become a global economic power during the Dutch Golden Age. This book explores the innovative financial instruments, such as early forms of stocks and bonds, and the expansive trade networks established by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and the Dutch West India Company (GWC). These companies facilitated global trade, with the VOC becoming the first multinational corporation. At its peak, the Dutch merchant fleet was larger than all other European nations combined, highlighting their dominance in maritime trade. The book argues that the Dutch Golden Age was a result of pragmatic trade policies, sophisticated financial systems, and a tolerant social environment. It begins by setting the scene of the 17th-century Netherlands, moves through the operations and impact of the VOC and GWC, and concludes by assessing the long-term global consequences of Dutch trade. This includes acknowledging the controversies of colonialism and the slave trade, providing a balanced view of this influential period in world history and economic development. Dutch Trade offers a fresh perspective on the systemic nature of Dutch trade and its lasting impact. By connecting economic activity with political science, sociology, anthropology, and even environmental history, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the Dutch Republic's commercial activities and their influence on globalization.

    A study of how Francis Marion delivered the leadership and strategy to defeat the British in the South Carolina Lowcountry campaigns. “Dougherty and Smith have produced an excellent study of Marion as a commander for history enthusiasts, their work deserves to garner equal attention from those in the business community, business schools, public sector management, and the military.”—Journal of the American RevolutionFrancis Marion is certainly the stuff of which legends are made. His nickname “The Swamp Fox,” bestowed upon him by one of his fiercest enemies, captures his wily approach to battle. The embellishment of his exploits in Parson Weems’s early biography makes separation of fact from fiction difficult, but certainly represents the awe, loyalty, and attraction he produced in those around him. His legacy is enshrined in the fact that more places in the United States have been named after him than any other soldier of the American Revolution, with the sole exception of George Washington. Even today’s U.S. Army Rangers include Marion as one of their formative heroes. Surely much about leadership can be learned from such an intriguing personality.Leading like the Swamp Fox: The Leadership Lessons of Francis Marion unlocks those lessons. Divided into three parts, the book first presents the historical background and context necessary to appreciate Marion’s situation. The main body of the book then examines Marion’s leadership across eight categories, with several vignettes demonstrating Marion’s competency. The summary then captures some conclusions about how leadership impacted the American Revolution in the South Carolina Lowcountry. An appendix provides some information about how the reader might explore those physical reminders of Marion and his exploits that exist today. Readers interested in history or leadership, or both, will all find something for them in Leading like the Swamp Fox.“Useful to students of leadership, or as an introduction to the Southern Campaign and to Marion…. [A] good treatise on leadership, and its overview of the Southern Campaign is an ideal introduction to the topic.”—Journal of Military History

    Safety is not a priority. Priorities change. It's not first, second, or third on a list. It is something more— a core value which is woven into the very fabric of a company. Safety is the foundation of operational excellence, a Board-level concern, and a driver of long-term enterprise value. It's also a market differentiator: world-class clients choose to partner with companies that can demonstrate a disciplined, resilient, and people-first safety culture. In Making Safety Happen, nationally recognized business leader and keynote speaker Brian L. Fielkow draws on more than 30 years of hands-on executive experience to reveal how world-class safety cultures are built and sustained. This is not theory or consultant-speak. Fielkow has been in the trenches, leading safety-sensitive businesses where one wrong decision can have devastating consequences. He shows with clarity and candor how safety is not only the truest expression of leadership - but also the ultimate measure of its effectiveness. Through real-world stories, practical frameworks, and hard-won lessons, you'll learn how to: 
     
    • Elevate safety to the C-suite and boardroom, making it a central pillar of enterprise strategy 
     
    • Break down silos and unify your organization around a shared safety vision 
     
    • Engage frontline employees so safety becomes personal, not procedural 
     
    • Establish disciplined processes that work under pressure and stand the test of time 
     
    • Identify and eliminate hidden risks, from shortcuts to misaligned incentives 
     
    • Create accountability at every level, from executives to the shop floor 
     
    • Build resilience by learning from incidents and strengthening after adversity

    The Law

    An analysis that grounds the law in the personality, liberty, and property of the individual from “the most brilliant economic journalist who ever lived” (Joseph Schumpeter, twentieth-century political economist).  The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense; it is the substitution of collective for individual forces, for the purpose of acting in the sphere in which they have a right to act, of doing what they have a right to do, to secure persons, liberties, and properties, and to maintain each in its right, so as to cause justice to reign over all.   It is with these words that the nineteenth-century French economist and statesman Frédéric Bastiat describes his theory of the individual rights of man in a classic refutation of the communist ideas that were sweeping across France at the time. In these pages, Bastiat affirms that the non-intervention of the State in private affairs gives rise to our wants and their satisfactions developing in their natural order. Problems arise when the law leaves its proper sphere and is employed in annihilating that justice which it should have established. He describes the threat of socialism as “philanthropic tyranny,” the enemy to his revered principles of justice, peace, order, stability, harmony, and logic. In clear, concise prose, Bastiat reveals the dangers of government overreach, a philosophy that still inspires libertarian ideology today.
