Sinossi

In "Wall Street Stories," Edwin Lefevre artfully chronicles the tumultuous, vibrant world of early 20th-century finance through a series of captivating tales that reflect the complexities of trading and investment. Written in an engaging, accessible style, Lefevre combines anecdotal narratives with sharp observations, drawing the reader into the high-stakes environment of Wall Street. The stories not only depict the financial frenzy of the era but also serve as a critical examination of human ambition, greed, and the inherent risks associated with speculation and economic aspiration. Edwin Lefevre, a journalist and novelist, was deeply immersed in the culture of finance, having worked as a stockbroker himself. His firsthand experiences allowed him profound insights into the psyche of traders and investors, which he expertly translates into narrative form. Lefevre's work reflects the burgeoning American capitalism of his time, and his keen observations are informed by the backdrop of the 1907 financial panic, events that profoundly influenced his perspective on the stock market's volatile nature. "Wall Street Stories" is highly recommended for both finance aficionados and literary enthusiasts. Lefevre's ability to blend storytelling with financial acumen offers readers not only a glimpse into the stock market's mystique but also timeless lessons on the consequences of ambition and risk. Dive into this classic to experience the exhilarating yet perilous dance of finance and human ambition.

    Betsy Polk and Maggie Chotas have learned something powerful: when women work together they discover a level of support, flexibility, confidence, accountability, and freedom to be themselves that they rarely find in other work relationships. Drawing on their own twelve-year partnership and from interviews with 125 women business partners, Polk and Chotas demolish the myths that keep women from collaborating and offer advice for handling a host of potential challenges. This groundbreaking book shows that when women team up—combining complementary skills, channeling their egos into the partnership, and encouraging each other—they can work as full equals to achieve something that's exponentially greater than each woman alone.

    Think. Act. Lead.
    It seems simple enough. But understanding your desired impact and how it fits into a larger picture, connecting your work to others and finding new collaborators, and bringing those collaborators together and moving them in a unified direction is never easy. 
    
    Governments, businesses, and nonprofits all have unique approaches and ideas that many of us learn through our work. Yet, we rarely consider the skills needed to create and maintain the partnerships between them. Most of us learn those skills through trial, error, and often, failure. Worse, we typically stay in our self-reinforcing silos, sharing perspectives and frustrations with like-minded people, limiting our vision of what our work can become. By partnering with other sectors, we combine and adapt approaches to solve complex problems, and leaders in any industry can create large-scale change.
    
    Cleveland Justis and Daniel Student share a road map for effective partnerships that increase impact and profitability. Using real-life examples and practice exercises, the authors teach how to acquire and use skills to solve complex problems and propel your organization forward by combining a multitude of perspectives, split into three sections:
    
    • Think Like a System
    • Act Like a Network
    • Lead Like a Movement
    
    It’s time to get out of our silos. Don’t lead alone.

    This audiobook is about how to get value from meetings. Period. 
    Meetings, any kind of meeting, represent opportunity. And where there is opportunity, value is available to be unlocked. 
    When you view meetings as, ahem, a “necessary evil”, you would neither see nor exploit the hidden opportunities. There is no debate: you would be involved in very many meetings whether you like it or not! You might as well roll up your sleeves and optimise your involvement. 
    This audiobook would give you implementable strategies for excelling at meetings. 
    This audiobook has no fluff and fillers. The book goes straight to the point. The 70 personal strategies have been boiled down to convey the point as precisely as possible. I recognise that time is a scarce resource and I want to optimise your reading time. 
    Remember this, “Even good meetings can be better!”

    An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith. First published in 1776, the book offers one of the world's first collected descriptions of what builds nations' wealth, and is today a fundamental work in classical economics. By reflecting upon the economics at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the book touches upon such broad topics as the division of labour, productivity, and free markets.

    How to Live on 24 Hours a Day

    Are you really 'living', or just existing? Do you want to improve yourself or just continue to muddle through? Do you use the time given you each day, or just throw most of it away? These questions Bennett asks each of us and for those who want to really live and learn, offers very valuable advice.    Time is the most precious of commodities, states Bennett in this book. Many books have been written on how to live on a certain amount of money each day. And he added that the old adage "time is money" understates the matter, as time can often produce money, but money cannot produce more time. Time is extremely limited, and Bennett urged others to make the best of the time remaining in their lives. Which of us lives on twenty-four hours a day? And when I say "lives," I do not mean exists, nor "muddles through." Which of us is free from that uneasy feeling that the "great spending departments" of his daily life are not managed as they ought to be? [...] Which of us is not saying to himself -- which of us has not been saying to himself all his life: "I shall alter that when I have a little more time"? We never shall have any more time. We have, and we have always had, all the time there is.
