Sinopse

Banking Reform Starts explores the transformative Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, a cornerstone of U.S. financial regulation enacted in response to the Great Depression. This pivotal legislation aimed to stabilize the American economy by addressing the risky practices that contributed to widespread bank failures.

 
The book dissects the Act's key components: separating commercial and investment banking, establishing the FDIC, and regulating securities activities. Understanding the Act is especially important considering that during the Great Depression, bank failures wiped out savings and crippled the economy, highlighting the urgent need for reform.

 
The book meticulously examines each facet of the Glass-Steagall Act, analyzing its intended purposes, immediate consequences, and enduring impact. It argues that the Act, while not flawless, created a more resilient financial system by curbing excessive risk-taking.

 
The narrative begins by detailing the pre-Act financial landscape and then progresses through a detailed analysis of each section, concluding with an assessment of its long-term legacy, including its eventual modification and repeal. By exploring the history of financial regulation and economic stability, Banking Reform Starts offers valuable insights for understanding current debates and future policy decisions.

Breaking the Medicine Monopolies...

Alfred Engelberg

Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a lawyer's personal narrative of the events that led to the widespread use of low-cost generic drugs and the current drug price crisis. 
 
 
 
Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a personal narrative about Alfred Engelberg's fifty years of legal work in the drug industry. He takes you inside the mysterious world of patents to provide a basic understanding of how drug makers have gamed the laws governing brand and generic competition, misused patents to prolong monopolies, and delayed generic competition on old drugs instead of focusing on discovering new ones. In this book, Engelberg provides listeners with an understanding of how the growing use of low-cost generic drugs led to the highest prices in the world for new drugs, and how middlemen in the drug distribution chain have exploited a lack of price transparency in order to earn excessive profits. Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand how ill-considered policy decisions and an inept patent system led to unaffordable prices for new drugs, and what can be done to correct the problem.

Theory U 2nd Edition - Leading...

C. Otto Scharmer

This newly updated and revised edition of the classic (60,000 copies sold) celebrates the global growth of the THEORY U phenomenon and its evolution in multiple industries worldwide. 
 
 
With the release of THEORY U almost ten years ago, Otto Scharmer set in motion a revolution in thought. Scharmer explained that what we pay attention to and how we pay attention is key to what we create. What prevents us from attending to situations more effectively is that we aren't fully aware of and in touch with the inner place from which attention and intention originate. This is what Scharmer calls our blind spot. By moving through Scharmer's U process, we consciously access the blind spot and learn to connect to our authentic Self-the deepest source of knowledge and inspiration-in the realm of "presencing," a term coined by Scharmer that combines the concepts of presence and sensing. 
 
Now, ten years later, Scharmer revisits the phenomenon THEORY U has become and updates and reports on the progress and evolution since initial release. He includes new materials, updates studies and examples, and includes eight pages of rich new graphics and charts in full color to better visually convey the book's premise.
