Sinopse

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.

Move - Putting America’s...

Rosabeth Moss Kanter

In Move, Rosabeth Moss Kanter offers bold solutions to move our transportation infrastructure into a cleaner, faster, and more prosperous future.
Americans are stuck. We live with travel delays on congested roads, shipping delays on clogged railways, and delays on repairs, project approvals, and funding due to gridlocked leadership. These delays affect us all, whether you are a daily commuter, a frequent flyer, an entrepreneur, an online shopper, a job seeker, or a community leader. If people can’t move, if goods are delayed, and if information networks can’t connect, then economic opportunity deteriorates and social inequity grows.
We have been stuck for too long, writes Harvard Business School professor and bestselling author Rosabeth Moss Kanter. In Move, Kanter visits cities and states across the country to tackle our challenges—and reveal solutions—on the roads and rails, and in our cities, skies, and the halls of Washington, DC. We meet a visionary engineer and public servant spearheading an underwater tunnel in Miami to streamline port operations and redirect constant traffic from the city center. We see mayors partnering with large corporations and nimble entrepreneurs to unveil parking apps, bike-sharing programs, and seamless Wi-Fi networks in greener, more vibrant, more connected cities. And we learn about much-needed efforts—such as dynamic tolls on highways and fees based on vehicle miles traveled—to reduce our dependence on the outmoded gasoline tax in our new electric car age.
It all adds up to a new vision for American mobility, where local leaders shape initiatives without waiting for Congress to act, and ambitious companies partner with governments to tackle projects that serve the public good, create jobs, and improve quality of life while providing healthy sources of investment. With unique insight and unrivaled expertise, Kanter gives us a sweeping look across America, revealing the innovative projects, vital leaders, and bold solutions that are moving our transportation infrastructure toward a cleaner, faster, and more prosperous future.
