    At 8 a.m. on February 3, 1975, Eli Black leapt to his death from the 44th floor of Manhattan's Pan Am building. The immigrant-turned-CEO of United Brands—formerly United Fruit, now Chiquita—Black seemed an embodiment of the American dream. United Brands was transformed under his leadership—from the "octopus," a nickname that captured the corrupt power the company had held over Latin American governments, to "the most socially conscious company in the hemisphere." How did it all go wrong?Eli and the Octopus traces the rise and fall of a business leader and his influence on the nascent project of corporate social responsibility. Born Menashe Elihu Blachowitz in Poland, Black arrived in New York at the age of three and became a rabbi before entering the business world. Driven by the moral tenets of his faith, he charted a new course in industries known for poor treatment of workers, partnering with labor leaders to improve conditions. But risky investments, economic recession, and a costly wave of natural disasters led Black away from the path of reform and toward corrupt backroom dealing.Matt Garcia presents an unvarnished portrait of Black's complicated legacy. Exploring the limits of corporate social responsibility on American life, Eli and the Octopus offers pointed lessons for those who hope to do good while doing business.

    Many Wall Street analysts have attempted since the crisis to  rebrand themselves as economists when it became clear  that macro forces are driving the markets.  Todays  world is not a textbook case study, however, and it cannot be  explained by conventional economics.  Depth of experience,  breadth of economic knowledge, and objectivity are required to  think critically about the future.  It is impossible to offer  a single investment solution since the path ahead depends upon  policy decisions yet to be made; however, investors can draw  on the experiences of prior credit-driven deleveraging cycles to  develop a dynamic framework for investing in an era of economic  uncertainty.   In this book, the authors discuss the importance of  macroeconomic evaluation in this new unstable global economy,  including fascinating anecdotes from Francois' time at Bear  Stearns prior to its collapse and sale. The authors go on to  cover in-depth the three possible future scenarios: severe  inflation, severe deflation, or a kind of muddling through.   With each scenario they discuss the likely causes and  consequences as well as the best strategies for profitable  investing.  The book concludes with a summary of the future of  the financial industry

    An incisive history of the changing relationship between democracy and capitalism. 
     
    The 20th century witnessed the triumph of democratic capitalism in the industrialized West, with widespread popular support for both free markets and representative elections. Today, that political consensus appears to be breaking down, disrupted by polarization and income inequality, widespread dissatisfaction with democratic institutions, and insurgent populism. Tracing the history of democratic capitalism over the past two centuries, Carles Boix explains how we got here - and where we could be headed. 
     
    Boix looks at three defining stages of capitalism, each originating in a distinct time and place with its unique political challenges, structure of production and employment, and relationship with democracy. 
     
    A must-listen for these uncertain times, Democratic Capitalism at the Crossroads proposes sensible policy solutions that can help harness the unruly forces of capitalism to preserve democracy and meet the challenges that lie ahead.
