  Take a look at this book bundle! It contains the following books: 
    - Mercantilism Explained: Mercantilism, a dominant economic theory from the 16th to the 18th century, played a pivotal role in shaping the economic and political landscape of early modern Europe. Rooted in the belief that a nation's wealth and power were measured by its stockpile of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, mercantilism emphasized the importance of maintaining a favorable balance of trade. Nations sought to maximize exports while minimizing imports, often employing protectionist policies to achieve this goal. This approach reflected the belief that global wealth was finite, creating fierce competition among nations to secure the largest share of resources and economic advantage. 
    - The Neoliberal Revolution: Neoliberalism is a term widely used to describe a set of economic policies and ideas that emphasize the importance of free markets, deregulation, privatization, and limited government intervention. Emerging in the mid-20th century, neoliberalism represented a distinct shift away from the welfare state and Keynesian economics, which had dominated Western economies in the post-World War II era. 
    - The Venture Capital Playbook: Venture capitalists, typically investors or firms, provide capital in exchange for equity ownership in the company. This investment is usually made in industries that are considered innovative or disruptive, such as technology, healthcare, and biotechnology. 
    - Venture Capital Explained: The venture capital industry is an essential component of the startup ecosystem, providing financial backing to companies that may not yet be profitable but have strong potential. Many of the world’s most successful companies, including Amazon, Google, and Facebook, received early funding from venture capital firms.

  The 2023 Inflation Surge -...

  The year 2023 witnessed an unprecedented surge in inflation across multiple global economies, challenging both policymakers and citizens. This inflationary spike had far-reaching implications, reshaping how individuals and businesses approach spending, saving, and investment. For many, the cost of living soared, driven by rising prices on essential goods and services. The effects were not limited to any one region; they were felt in both developed and emerging economies, exacerbating the economic struggles that had already been heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain disruptions. 
    
  The central question surrounding the 2023 inflation surge is not only why it occurred but also how it was managed. Governments and central banks scrambled to address the rising costs, deploying monetary policies such as interest rate hikes, tightening fiscal policies, and introducing various forms of economic relief. However, the effectiveness of these responses was often called into question, as inflation proved to be more persistent and widespread than many had anticipated. These developments sparked debates on the best course of action to restore economic stability without stifling recovery or deepening inequality. 
    
  In addition to these global challenges, the inflation surge created a stark divide in the socio-economic landscape. Low- and middle-income households were hit hardest, with wages failing to keep pace with rising costs, particularly in housing, food, and energy. Meanwhile, wealthier individuals and large corporations were better positioned to weather the storm, further exacerbating economic inequality. The growing disparity in how inflation affected different income groups has raised concerns about social stability and long-term prosperity.

  Leader as Healer - WINNER...

  Nicholas Janni

  Leaders of today must possess potent powers for logic, reason, discernment and strategic forecasting. Yet, they must also be empathic and therefore embodied; grounded and therefore intuitive; present and therefore awake. They must be skilled in mindfulness and deep listening, able to inspire authentic engagement and collaboration, and possess a clear and wholehearted sense of service, mission and purpose - restoring coherence where there is fragmentation and unity where there is division. Nicholas Janni presents this new and necessary leadership style as the Leader as Healer. 
   
   The book outlines both a theoretical and practical map towards a new form of leadership, one that embodies the 'skill, heart, and wisdom' that the current moment demands. The pathway Janni describes is one of integration and restoration, which is designed to reawaken the innate human capacities - physical and emotional, individual and transpersonal - that were previously discarded and forgotten during our perilous journey towards profit-maximization and "infinite" economic growth. It offers a way to grow ourselves as leaders and to heal our organizations.
