  Always The Music is the fascinating story of Morris’ personal metamorphosis through the highest levels of the world of classical music, his learning and insights into how storied musical institutions function, great artists create, and audiences engage. Over the course of 34 years running the Boston Symphony and The Cleveland Orchestra, he had the growing realization that American orchestras had become ingrown on themselves, with rigid structures and cultures that conspired to perpetuate those structures rather than the music experiences they were built to create. Stepping back from orchestras and looking to experiment with his evolving insights, he became artistic director of the Ojai Music Festival. Its size, its setting, its unique structure and a long history with many of the world’s most innovative and influential musicians and composers provided an opportunity for Morris to reimagine musical experiences by challenging all aspects of making music and producing concerts. The first part of the book recounts Morris’s journey through close collaborations with key individuals and projects, while the final chapters synthesizes his career lessons into an unequivocal but thoughtful prescription for the future of the American orchestra. Mostly, though, this is the entertaining story of one man’s lifelong love affair with great music and the people who make it.

  How Nations Escape Poverty -...

  Rainer Zitelmann

  During the twentieth century, Vietnam and Poland were both victims not only of devastating wars, but also of socialist planned economies that destroyed whatever war hadn’t already. In 1990, Vietnam was still one of the poorest countries in the world, while Poland was one of the poorest in Europe. But in the three decades since then, both countries have drastically improved their citizens’ standards of living and escaped the vicious cycle of national poverty. 
   
   
   
  In this book, Rainer Zitelmann identifies the reasons behind the sensational growth of both nations' economies, drawing out the lessons that other countries can learn from these two success stories. To explain the source of their success, he returns to Adam Smith's 1776 treatise, The Wealth of Nations: the only way to overcome poverty is through economic growth, and economic freedom is the crucial prerequisite for such growth. Developments over the past 250 years have proved Smith right. 
   
   
   
  Despite these strides, almost ten percent of the world's population still lives in extreme poverty. So, what measures actually help to alleviate poverty today? Through a wealth of data and stories from the everyday lives of Polish and Vietnamese people who experienced reforms, Zitelmann demonstrates the persistent relevance of Smith's ideas to economic flourishing in the twenty-first century.
