Summary

The aim of this report is to help us imagine a better common economic life, one which rewards allthe stakeholders in business, rather than privileging the shareholding few. Such a move can anddoes benefit people, planet and profit, but it will only do so when we move from a story fuelled byextraction to one formed by creation. The authors of this report work in politics, economics andmanagement, but are also trained in theology. As such they are steeped in the deep stories that haveshaped our economic, political and social life. A full consideration of these deeper ideas that underlyour institutions (for good and for ill) is necessary if we are to truly imagine a better way to conductour business and how we shape our economic policies.

    From one of America's sharpest conservative journalists is this searing, thought-provoking and hilarious takedown of the ruling class running amok in Washington. These are your elected officials. Some are slyly taking advantage of the system. They are hoping no one is savvy enough to notice. But Matt Lewis has. And this is what he’s learned.  Today’s politicians are an unsavory lot—a hybrid of plutocrats and hypocrites. And it’s worse (and more laughable) than you can imagine. Lewis will introduce you to a crop of latte liberals, ivy league populists, insider traders, trust-fund babies, and swamp creatures as he exposes how truly ludicrous money in politics has gotten.  In Filthy Rich Politicians, Lewis embarks on an investigative deep dive into the ridiculous state of modern American democracy—a system where the rich get elected and the elected get rich. One of the brightest conservative writers of his generation, Lewis doesn’t just complain: he articulates how Americans can achieve accountability from their elected leaders through radically commonsense reforms. But many of these ruling-class elites have a vested financial interest in rejecting the reforms so desperately needed to rebuild Americans’ trust in the institutions that once made our nation great.  This is not an “eat the rich” kind of book, and it is not for those who want to stoke class warfare, topple the whole regime, and burn it all to the ground. This is a must-read book for thoughtful readers who yearn for transparency and will commit to holding their elected leaders accountable to those they are supposed to represent—we the people.  The reforms spelled out in this book would incentivize good behavior in our leaders, stymie corruption, and prevent politicians from using the system (and our taxpayer dollars) to feather their filthy rich nests.  It is only by taking these steps to reform the system that we can rebuild trust in our institutions and preserve American democracy for future generations. There really is no richer inheritance we could leave them.

    50 Business Models of the New Economy. Lessons from Unicorn Companies tells the vibrant stories of 50 companies that emerged in the last 20-30 years, whose business models allowed them to achieve billion-dollar (and sometimes multi-billion-dollar) valuations. They're different from old-school companies because they were all about new tech and connecting with customers right from the start. 
    The essence of each company's business, its history, monetization principles, financial information, and what makes people love it is clearly described in this business book. It's important to note that these companies are from various market sectors with diverse business models, so you're bound to find something useful for your own business. 
    But this book on business success goes beyond merely presenting company details. By analyzing their growth and operations, the authors have formulated 'unicorn lessons'—principles that can help others make their companies equally successful. Even from this small selection at the end of the book, one can trace socioeconomic trends entrepreneurs can rely on when developing their business models.

    Essentials of Economic Theory

    John Bates Clark was an American economist who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is considered one of the founders of the neoclassical school of economics and is best known for his work on marginal productivity theory. 
    One of Clark's most influential works is his book "The Essentials of Economic Theory" which was first published in 1907. The book provides an introduction to economic theory and covers a wide range of topics, including production, consumption, distribution, and exchange. 
    Clark's approach to economic theory was highly mathematical and he believed that economic analysis should be based on the principles of marginalism. He argued that the value of a good or service is determined by the marginal utility it provides to consumers and the marginal cost of producing it. 
    Clark also developed the theory of marginal productivity, which suggests that the value of a worker's contribution to the production process is equal to the marginal product of labor. This theory has been highly influential in the development of modern labor economics. 
    Overall, "The Essentials of Economic Theory" is an important work that has had a significant impact on the development of economic thought. Clark's emphasis on the principles of marginalism and his development of the theory of marginal productivity have helped to shape the way that economists think about markets and the role of individuals in the production process.

    When health care workers call a Code White, it’s an emergency response for a violent incident: a call for help. But it’s one that goes unanswered in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care homes across the country. Code White exposes a shocking epidemic of violence that’s hidden in plain sight, one in which workers are bruised, battered, assaulted, and demeaned, but carry on in silence, with little recourse or support.
    		 
    Researchers Margaret M. Keith and James T. Brophy lay bare the stories of over one hundred nurses and personal support workers, aides and porters, clerical workers and cleaners. The nightmarish experiences they relate are not one-off incidents, but symptoms of deep systemic flaws that have transformed health care into one of the most dangerous occupational sectors in Canada.
    		 
    The same questions echo in the wake of each and every brutal encounter: Is violence and trauma really just “part of the job”? Why is this going underreported and unchecked? What needs to be done, and how?
