Sinopse

Gold Standard Fall examines the United States' pivotal 1933 decision to abandon the gold standard and its profound, lasting impact on the global economic order. The book explores the historical context of the gold standard, highlighting its role in international trade and investment, while also detailing its inherent vulnerabilities. This shift, intended as a domestic solution during the Great Depression, inadvertently triggered significant changes in international trade relationships and the evolution of monetary policy.

 
The book meticulously dissects the economic pressures within the U.S. during the Great Depression, which led President Roosevelt to sever the dollar's tie to gold. One key insight is how this decision fostered economic nationalism and contributed to a more volatile global financial system. By using macroeconomic data, policy documents, and contemporary accounts, the book challenges conventional narratives about the gold standard's demise, emphasizing the critical role of U.S. policy.

 
Structured in three parts, the book begins by introducing the gold standard and its history, then analyzes the factors influencing the U.S. decision and its immediate impact, and finally, examines the long-term consequences. It draws on primary sources like government documents and central bank records, along with quantitative analysis of trade flows and economic growth, to provide a comprehensive understanding of this critical turning point in economic history.

Lead Together - Stop...

Tania Luna

Leaders today want to stop feeling overwhelmed and alone. They want to build engaged, diverse, resilient, and joyful teams that achieve greater things together. They want a better way to lead. 
 
 
  
Lead Together is a fictional story, grounded in psychology and laden with practical tools, that offers leaders a power-with rather than power-over paradigm. It explores how leaders can develop power jointly rather than use it as a top-down means of control in the form of an engaging, squirrelly narrative. 
 
 
  
Psychology researcher and leadership educator Tania Luna offers the tale of Sam Squirrel, branch manager of Nuts for You, Inc., whose company faces an impending forest recession. Sam employs the leadership tactics his boss, Jack Walnuts, taught him ("know the way and make them go your way") but achieves only distrust, disengagement, poor performance, and high turnover. During Sam's last-ditch effort to meet his quotas, he finds a hidden, thriving community that shows him a radical new way to lead. But will it be enough to save Nuts for You and help Sam realize his dream of becoming Chief Nut Officer?
