Synopsis

Painter Betrayals exposes the often-shadowy intersection of art and finance, revealing how financial incentives can corrupt artistic integrity and distort our understanding of art history. The book argues that the art world, far from being a realm of pure expression, is deeply intertwined with power dynamics and financial interests that can lead to ethical compromises, like the manipulation of art valuations for profit. It uncovers the duplicitous relationships between artists, collectors, and investors, showing how exploitation and fraud can thrive. For example, the book examines instances where an artist's market value is deliberately inflated through coordinated buying, or forgeries are knowingly sold as masterpieces, impacting market regulation and public perception.

 


 
The book adopts a narrative nonfiction style, presenting complex information in an accessible way, combining art historical analysis with financial modeling. It is structured in three parts, beginning with an introduction of the key players, then delving into case studies of specific betrayals. The final section analyzes the implications of these betrayals, offering suggestions for greater transparency in the art world. Readers gain insights into art market manipulation, art finance, and the significance of financial incentives in art.

Smart Trader: The Psychology and...

Anshumala Singh

Trading is often painted as a world of numbers, algorithms, and quick decisions. But behind the charts and tickers lies something much deeper—the mind of the trader. I have written The Smart Trader to explore this often overlooked aspect of trading, where psychology, discipline, and emotion meet strategy, risk, and execution.
Over the years, I’ve met countless traders who knew all the right strategies, had all the technical tools at their disposal, and yet, struggled to make consistent profits. Why? Because trading is not just about understanding the markets. It’s about understanding yourself. Success in trading is rooted in mastering your emotions, managing your impulses, and remaining disciplined through uncertainty.
This book is divided into two parts, each designed to guide you through this complex world. The first half focuses on the psychological principles that every trader must embrace—discipline, patience, risk management, and mindfulness. These traits are not only necessary for survival in the market but also for long-term success.
The second half transitions into the technical side of trading, where I explore the strategies that work in real-time intraday markets. But I won’t just be presenting these in a dry, technical manner. You’ll learn through the journeys of Bill, Elon, Steve, and Jeff—traders who each have their strengths and flaws, just like all of us. Their experiences are meant to be relatable, and through them, you’ll see how psychology and strategy blend together in the fast-paced world of derivatives and crypto trading.
Thank you for picking up The Smart Trader. Let’s begin the adventure.

Burnt - Fighting for Climate...

Chris Saltmarsh

Time is up. The climate crisis is no longer a future to be feared, but a devastating reality. We see it in the wildfires in California and floods across Britain—the "once in a generation" extreme weather events that now happen every year. 
 
 
 
In a world where those in charge are constantly letting us down, real change in our lifetime means taking power into our own hands. The task ahead of us is daunting, but the emergence of a new wave of movements focused on climate justice, equality, and solidarity also brings hope. 
 
 
 
Asking how we have arrived at this moment, Chris Saltmarsh argues that the profoundly political nature of the environmental crisis has been relentlessly downplayed. After all, how can solar panels save us while capitalism places profit over the future of the planet? Analyzing the failures of NGOs, the limitations of Extinction Rebellion and Youth Strikes, the role of trade unions, and the possibilities of a Green New Deal, Burnt issues a powerful call for a radical collective movement: saving the world is not enough; we must build a better one in the process.

Intended Consequences - How to...

Hemant Taneja, Kevin Maney,...

A company's mindset—its intent to do good, avoid harmful consequences, and innovate responsibly—is not enough. That mindset must be supported by a business model, a mechanism that leaders must intentionally and proactively build along with the company from the ground up, one that incentivizes and rewards the organization for fulfilling its intentions. Companies need a new set of KCIs, or key consequence indicators, that measure factors such as its impact on customers’ energy consumption, whether its product is being used equally across socioeconomic groups, or if it is actually solving the social problem it is addressing. Not only is this the right thing to do—increasingly, it is what customers, employees, and shareholders demand of business. 
 
 
 
In this inspiring guide, Hemant Taneja lays out the argument for why a new model of company building and leadership is necessary—and how it can lead to better performance; explores why social-good businesses are some of the greatest opportunities today, detailing examples of billion-dollar startups that are addressing inequality, climate change, systemic societal problems, and chronic disease—all while generating profit and positive shareholder returns; and presents a topic-by-topic road map that addresses business models, artificial intelligence, ethical growth, culture, governance, and good citizenship.

Portraits of Childfree Wealth -...

PhD Jay Zigmont

Have you ever wondered what people without children do with all their free time and money? Do you assume that they must have a lot of both? The truth is more complex than that! Childfree people come from as many different backgrounds and life circumstances as people with children do. Some are partnered, and some are not. Some are well-educated, some aren't. Some are independently wealthy, and some are just scraping by. Dr. Zigmont's "Portraits of Childfree Wealth" is a collection of 26 vignettes based on interviews with Childfree people. He adds his own significant insights, as both a fellow Childfree professional and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. This book is an eye-opening look at the lives of people in the United States who deliberately chose not to become parents, and if you're in the same boat, you'll find a lot to relate to here. If you have children, you'll learn how the other half lives. And if you're a finance professional, you'll see how money still plays a role for people who don't have to worry about leaving assets to their children.
In Portraits of Childfree Wealth, Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, interviews 26 individuals and couples to understand their lives. Each portrait provides a different perspective on Childfree Wealth from a diverse population across the US. There are stories from people who are barely making ends meet and others who have achieved FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) or FILE (Financial Independence, Live Early). Being Childfree does not automatically make people rich, as we still suffer from income disparities. The difference is that if a Childfree person is barely making ends meet now, they would have drowned if they had a child.
