Summary

Financial market bubbles are recurring, often painful, reminders of the costs and benefits of capitalism. While many books have studied financial manias and crises, most fail to compare times of turmoil with times of stability. In Bubbles and Crashes, Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch give us new insights into the causes of speculative booms and busts. They identify a class of assets—major technological innovations—that can, but does not necessarily, produce bubbles. This methodological twist is essential: Only by comparing similar events that sometimes lead to booms and busts can we ascertain the root causes of bubbles. 
 
Using a sample of eighty-eight technologies spanning 150 years, Goldfarb and Kirsch find that four factors play a key role in these episodes: the degree of uncertainty surrounding a particular innovation, the attentive presence of novice investors, the opportunity to directly invest in companies that specialize in the technology, and whether or not a technology is a good protagonist in a narrative. Goldfarb and Kirsch consider the implications of their analysis for technology bubbles that may be in the works today, offer tools for investors to identify whether a bubble is happening, and propose policy measures that may mitigate the risks associated with future speculative episodes.

    Summary of Patrick Lencioni's The Ideal Team Player posits that in order to succeed—especially in a work environment—one must be a team player. Business leaders must be able to identify and hire team players to secure the best possible advantage over their competitors and leverage all the benefits of teamwork. Ideal team players share three core virtues: They are hungry, humble, and smart. To illustrate the ideal team player model in practice, Lencioni offers the hypothetical example of Valley Builders, a construction firm in Napa. Using this extended hypothetical as referent, Lencioni illustrates the components of the ideal team and explains how to apply them. 
    Valley Builders was founded some 30 years ago by Bob Shanley. On the advice of his doctor, Shanley is retiring, but at a critical juncture: the firm has just inked deals on its two biggest jobs to date...

    Philip Coltoff spent forty years working with the Children's Aid Society in New York City, serving as its leader for almost 25 of those years. There is no question that he knows about nonprofit leadership and the challenges of change. But At the Crossroads: Not-for-Profit Leadership Strategies for Executives and Boards isn't just another how-to guide for nonprofit executives; it's a history lesson about the evolution of the charitable sector; it's a memoir of Coltoff's days at the helm of one of the oldest and most well-known institutions in the United States; it's a love letter to the social services sector he dedicated his life to. And it is filled with wisdom and insight that could only come from someone who has been there. This revised and expanded edition  includes new changes in board structure, statutory requirements, functional relationships, succession, and transitional relationships.
