Synopsis

'Provocative and detailed ... Excellent' The Telegraph
'Shocking and meticulous' Danny Dorling
'An eye-opening revelation ... a must-read' Joel Bakan
THE TELEGRAPH BEST BOOKS OF 2024
British politicians love to vaunt the benefits of the UK's supposed 'special relationship' with the US. But are we really America's economic partner – or its colony?
Vassal State lays bare the extent to which US corporations own and control Britain's economy: how American business chiefs decide what we're paid, what we buy and how we buy it. US companies have carved up Britain between them, siphoning off enormous profits, buying up our most lucrative firms and assets, and extracting huge rents from UK PLC – all while paying little or no tax. Meanwhile, policymakers, from Whitehall mandarins to NHS chiefs, shape their decisions to suit the whims of our American corporate overlords.
Based on his 40 years of business experience, devastating new research and interviews with the major players, Angus Hanton exposes why Britain has become the poor transatlantic relation – and what we can do to change it.

    The best-selling author of Give and Take and Originals examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life. 
    As an organizational psychologist, Adam Grant has spent his career exploring how we can open other people's minds - and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the number one New York Times best-selling author of Originals and Give and Take, one of his guiding principles in life is arguing like he's right but listening like he's wrong.  
    With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, harness the surprising advantages of impostor syndrome, bring nuance into charged conversations about abortion and climate change, and build schools, workplaces and communities of lifelong learners.  
    Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility, humility and curiosity over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.

    Ten Year Career - Reimagine...

    Building a business can be confusing. Entrepreneurs aren't sure whether to keep control or delegate and automate, say yes or say no, work all hours or prioritize work-life 
    balance. They take advice from all directions and wind up feeling overwhelmed and 
    overworked without a finish line in sight. 
     
     
     
    Ten Year Career turns that premise upside down and argues that it doesn't have to 
    be that way. If you have intention, focus, a willingness to question received truths and the 
    vision to think big, you can emulate the world's most successful entrepreneurs and retire in ten years, no matter where you are in your career today. 
     
     
     
    You'll learn: how to define success your way, not their way; how to achieve far more in a shorter space of time; how to run your business without it running you; and the four-step framework by which to complete your Ten Year Career. 
     
     
     
    You can achieve much more than you do now, in much less time than you thought, to 
    reach financial freedom earlier than you imagined. That freedom, in turn, leads to the 
    freedom to choose how you spend your days. The freedom to do whatever you want, with 
    whomever you want, when you want to do it. The freedom to live life on your own terms.
