Sinopsis

In "H. R.", Edwin Lefevre deftly navigates the intricate world of Wall Street, capturing the tumultuous rise and fall of a fictional stockbroker. With a meticulous eye for detail and a narrative style that interweaves rich character studies with sharp economic insight, Lefevre presents a compelling tableau of early 20th-century finance. The novel echoes the frenetic pace and moral ambiguities of its time, underscoring the psychological toll of speculative trading through vivid character interactions and suspenseful plot developments, reflecting the era's burgeoning capitalist ethos. Edwin Lefevre, a former stockbroker himself, draws upon his firsthand experiences in the financial markets, infusing "H. R." with authenticity and depth. His background in journalism also lends a keen clarity to his prose, making complex financial instruments accessible to the lay reader. Lefevre's exploration of ambition, greed, and the human condition is informed by his own encounters with the perils of speculative markets, making this work a personal reflection as much as a social critique. Recommended for both financial aficionados and lovers of literary fiction, "H. R." offers an engaging exploration of the interplay between human ambition and ethical dilemmas in a rapidly evolving economic landscape. Lefevre's nuanced portrayal of his characters will resonate with anyone who has grappled with the highs and lows of ambition.

    Broken Money explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently.
     
    
     
    The book's goal is for the listener to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications. From shells to gold, from papyrus bills of exchange to central banks, and from the invention of the telegraph to the creation of Bitcoin, Lyn Alden walks the listener through the emergence of new technologies that have shaped what we use as money over the ages. And beyond that, Alden explores the concept of what money is at its very foundation to give the listener a framework to analyze and compare different types of monetary technologies and monetary theories.
     
    
     
    The book also takes a distinctively human look at how money impacts the lives of real people, and how new monetary technologies shape the power structures within society.

    Earl Shoaff (March 21, 1916 - September 6, 1965) was a motivational speaker and entrepreneur. Shoaff was very influential in the early life of inspirational speaker Jim Rohn. At the age of 25, Rohn heard a "laws of success" lecture given by Shoaff and went to work for him. Rohn’s later work helped launch or further the career of many others in the personal development industry, including Tony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, and Jack Canfield. This recording is from a public lecture that Shoaff gave in the early 1950’s, and it is called “How To Become A Millionaire.”

    From healthcare facilities to call centers, fulfillment centers to factories, and restaurants to retail stores, companies are struggling to find or keep workers, because the jobs they offer are low-paying, stressful, and provide little chance for growth and success. 
     
     
     
    Workers want good jobs, and many leaders want to provide them. But they don't think they can offer higher pay and more motivating work without hurting the bottom line. Most business leaders want to win with customers, but their companies are hobbled by a host of service and operational problems largely driven by high employee turnover—turnover that's partly driven by low pay. 
     
     
     
    It is indeed a vicious cycle, and Zeynep Ton is here to show you the way out: why good jobs combined with strong operations lead to higher productivity and increased competitiveness for the business. As the leading scholar on good jobs and president of the Good Jobs Institute, Ton has helped executives at many companies implement a good jobs system. With expertise drawn from spending time on the front lines with workers and their managers, she knows what's keeping most companies mired in mediocrity and how implementing a good jobs system makes them more competitive, more resilient, and more likely to attract and retain loyal customers and dedicated employees.
