Summary

In September 2015, Governments worldwide adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including 17 wide-ranging Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using the SDGs as a thematic reference, the report examines progress on securing human dignity and well-being in the Arab countries and what is needed to achieve sustainable development in this region in turmoil. It also looks at the complex factors shaping the region: the occupation of Palestinian and other Arab lands; ongoing conflicts; governance, human rights and institutional deficits; and shortcomings in terms of financing, science and technology, trade and statistical capacity. The report stresses that urgent action is needed at the national and regional levels, and that integrated, long-term and evidence-based planning and investments that address the root causes of instability in the region are indispensable for achieving the SDGs.

    "A lot has happened in the financial markets since 1992, when Peter  Bernstein wrote his seminal Capital Ideas. Happily, Peter has taken  up his facile pen again to describe these changes, a virtual  revolution in the practice of investing that relies heavily on  complex mathematics, derivatives, hedging, and hyperactive trading.  This fine and eminently readable book is unlikely to be surpassed  as the definitive chronicle of a truly historic era."  John C. Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group and  author, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing    "Just as Dante could not have understood or survived the perils of  the Inferno without Virgil to guide him, investors today need Peter  Bernstein to help find their way across dark and shifting ground.  No one alive understands Wall Street's intellectual history better,  and that makes Bernstein our best and wisest guide to the future.  He is the only person who could have written this book; thank  goodness he did."  Jason Zweig, Investing Columnist, Money  magazine    "Another must-read from Peter Bernstein! This well-written and  thought-provoking book provides valuable insights on how key  finance theories have evolved from their ivory tower formulation to  profitable application by portfolio managers. This book will  certainly be read with keen interest by, and undoubtedly influence,  a wide range of participants in international finance."  Dr. Mohamed A. El-Erian, President and CEO of Harvard  Management Company, Deputy Treasurer of Harvard University, and  member of the faculty of the Harvard Business School    "Reading Capital Ideas Evolving is an experience not to be  missed. Peter Bernstein's knowledge of the principal characters-the  giants in the development of investment theory and practice-brings  this subject to life."  Linda B. Strumpf, Vice President and Chief Investment  Officer, The Ford Foundation    "With great clarity, Peter Bernstein introduces us to the insights  of investment giants, and explains how they transformed financial  theory into portfolio practice. This is not just a tale of money  and models; it is a fascinating and contemporary story about people  and the power of their ideas."  Elroy Dimson, BGI Professor of Investment Management,  London Business School    "Capital Ideas Evolving provides us with a unique  appreciation for the pervasive impact that the theory of modern  finance has had on the development of our capital markets. Peter  Bernstein once again has produced a masterpiece that is must  reading for practitioners, educators and students of  finance."  Andr F. Perold, Professor of Finance, Harvard  Business School

    Implementing a lean business philosophy can transform an organization, bringing with it huge benefits in terms of reduced operating costs, decreased lead times, and increased customer satisfaction, along with a marked improvement in employee morale, customer loyalty, and quality of products and services. The lean business model – while originally developed within the US and Japanese automotive manufacturing industries – has proven its worth time and again in every field imaginable – from retail and manufacture to central government administration.  
    The right management is crucial for lean companies. As we shall see, lean is not just a set of tools that can be applied to any situation to reap rewards. Lean management involves taking a holistic approach to developing a specific culture throughout an organization – and a lean business culture can only be achieved if everyone buys in. A lean manager must, guide, coach and inspire – but beyond this they must be open and ready to learn on every step of their journey of continuous improvement.  
    This book will explore in more detail the specific role played by management in lean companies, before delving into the lean toolkit to show you what resources are available and how to get the most from them.
