Summary

Genre Crossing Effects explores how strategically blending genres can boost a business book's market performance and reader engagement. It challenges the conventional wisdom of strict genre adherence, arguing that thoughtfully incorporating elements from related fields, like leadership or psychology, can significantly broaden a book's appeal and market penetration. For instance, a management book could integrate storytelling techniques to enhance reader engagement, attracting those who might typically read fiction. 

 
The book presents a framework for understanding genre conventions and the mechanics of genre crossing within the business book market. It analyzes how genre influences perceptions of quality and relevance, providing a guide to integrating diverse content elements and tailoring marketing messages. Through case studies and industry analysis, the book illustrates successful and unsuccessful genre-crossing attempts, offering insights into what works and what doesn't. 

 
The book is structured into three parts: foundational concepts of genre theory, a framework for understanding the mechanics of genre crossing, and actionable strategies for authors and publishers. By combining data-driven analysis with practical advice, Genre Crossing Effects provides a valuable resource for authors, publishers, and marketing professionals looking to navigate the complexities of the business publishing landscape and achieve greater market success through strategic genre experimentation.

Wealth Supremacy - How the...

Marjorie Kelly, Edgar Villanueva

This powerful analysis explains how the bias toward wealth that is woven into the very fabric of American capitalism is damaging people, the economy, and the planet and explores what the foundations of a new economy could be. 
 
This bold manifesto exposes seven myths underlying wealth supremacy-the bias that institutionalizes infinite extraction of wealth by and for the wealthy and is the hidden force behind economic injustice, the climate crisis, and so many other problems of our day: 
 
-	The Myth of Maximizing-No amount of wealth is ever enough. 
-	The Myth of Fiduciary Duty-Corporate managers' most sacred duty is to expand capital. 
-	The Myth of Corporate Governance-Corporate membership must be reserved for capital alone. 
-	The Myth of the Income Statement-Income to capital must always be increased, while income to labor must always be decreased. 
-	The Myth of Materiality-Profit-that is, material gain-alone is real, while social and environmental damages are not. 
-	The Myth of Takings-The first duty of government must be the protection of private property. 
-	The Myth of the Free Market-There should be no limits on the sphere of influence of corporations and capital. 
 
Kelly argues instead for the democratization of ownership: public ownership of vital services, worker-owned businesses, and more. And she sketches the outlines of a nonextractive capitalism that would be subordinate to the public interest. This is an ambitious reimagining of the very foundations of our economy and society.
