Summary

Bernardo Davanzati (Florence, 31 August 1529 - Florence, 29 March 1606) was a scholar, an agronomist, an economist and an initiate of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and one of the major protagonists of Florentine life and society in the last phase of the Renaissance. A man of great culture, he was also famous as a translator of classical works.
Davanzati wrote on economics as a metallist. His works included Lezione delle monete (Discourse upon Coins, written in 1588) and Notizie dei cambi (1582). Davanzati's Discourse upon Coins was translated into English by John Toland and published in London in 1696.
To judge him correctly it must be considered that he was a contemporary of Gasparo Scaruffi (1582), of Jean Bodin (1578), and of William Stafford (1581), men who wrote their books half a century before Petty and Locke were born.
The Davanzati’s Discourse Upon Coins, in particular, contains many features of modern Central Banking theory; for example, it is stated that money is a public good, a service that the prince renders to the people and that must be paid for by general taxation, etc.

    Do you want to lead like a business professional—or a Neanderthal? This book breaks our millennia-old leadership mold to provide the skills for real, lasting success in today's business worldFor too long, humans have been following others based largely on that person's sense of physical strength, appearance, and dominance. It's a model that dates back to the Neanderthals and which, incredibly, we continue to apply—consciously or not.The Power of Evolved Leadership establishes a new standard for leadership. It shifts you away from a leadership profile of power, command, and control to move your toward the nuance of motivation, inspiration, and, most critically, the shedding of "ego." The author bases his perspective and methods on close studies and personal interviews of many of today's most successful leaders.

    What do Tyra Banks, Ev Williams, and Richard Branson have in common? If you answered that they’re all extremely wealthy, you’d be right. But you’d also be missing a big part of the story. 
James Altucher, the noted entrepreneur, venture capitalist, bestselling author of Choose Yourself, and host of the podcast The James Altucher Show — which has over 40 million downloads — has interviewed 15 of the most successful people in the world to figure out just what makes them tick. And the conclusions might surprise you.  
For each of these people, money wasn't their ultimate goal — it was a natural byproduct of following their passions and developing good habits that enabled them to take advantage of their successes, and to learn from their failures. 
From the founder of Spanx to the entrepreneur behind Home Depot, from a craft beer aficionado to the investors on Shark Tank, these visionaries honed their ideas and creativity, and used what they loved as a compass to guide their curiosity. That curiosity gave them the insights they needed to skip the line, to try new things, to diversify, and to hit the accelerator on their successes. 
This isn’t some lofty self-help book. This is about real people who achieved their dreams and gained wealth and influence as a result. As Altucher notes, ultimately it’s not the number in the bank account that defines anyone — it’s asking if you’re living life to the best of your ability.

    How to Articulate and Assess What Success Looks Like 
The Social Profit Handbook offers those who lead, govern, and support mission-driven organizations and businesses new ways to assess their impact in order to improve future work rather than merely judge past performance.   
For-profit institutions measure their success primarily by monetary gains. But nonprofit institutions are different; they aim for social profit. How do you measure the success of these social profit institutions, where missions are focused on the well-being of people, place, and planet? 
Drawing upon decades of leadership in schools and the foundation and nonprofit worlds, author David Grant offers strategies—from creating mission time to planning backwards to constructing qualitative assessment rubrics—that help organizations take assessment back into their own hands, and improve their work as a result. His insights, illustrated by numerous case studies, make this book a unique organizational development tool for a wide range of nonprofit organizations, as well as emerging mission-based social venture businesses, such as low-profit corporations and B Corps. 
The Social Profit Handbook presentsassessment and evaluation not as ends in themselves but as the path toward achieving what matters most in the social sector. The result: more benefits to society and stronger, more unified, more effective organizations prepared to make the world a better place.
