Synopsis

In "Strictly Business," F. Morton Howard expertly navigates the intersection of commerce and human relationships, offering a compelling critique of the corporate world during the early 20th century. With a keen eye for detail and a narrative style that seamlessly blends realism and wit, Howard portrays the lives of businesspeople as they grapple with morality, ambition, and the pursuit of success. Set against the backdrop of an evolving economic landscape, the stories encapsulate the zeitgeist of a rapidly industrializing America, employing rich characterizations and dialogues that resonate with the reader on both emotional and intellectual levels. F. Morton Howard, a prominent literary figure of his time, draws upon his extensive experience in the business sector to infuse authenticity into his storytelling. His insights reflect the disillusionment and ambition that defined the era, as he elicits the struggles and triumphs of individuals in a burgeoning capitalist society. Howard's remarkable ability to synthesize personal experiences with broader societal themes underpins the powerful narratives within this collection. I highly recommend "Strictly Business" to readers seeking a thoughtful exploration of the complexities of ambition and ethics within the professional sphere. This collection is not merely a reflection of its time but a timeless commentary on the human condition, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the intricate dance between personal and professional life.

    The incredible story of a once-venerable Swiss bank that produced a litany of financial scandals and whose collapse reveals the amorality at the heart of the global banking system. 
     
     
     
    Credit Suisse was a 166-year-old bastion of global banking. But a veneer of high-class service disguised a darker, much dirtier reality. From its sterile Zurich headquarters, Credit Suisse banked dictators and drug dealers, hid stolen Nazi gold, and helped corrupt bankers fleece the firm's own clients of billions of dollars. Its top executives oversaw a global operation that laundered money for autocrats; they hired spies to track one another through the cobbled streets of the Swiss financial capital; and they helped clients hide their money from the world's tax authorities. This is the story of a tawdry total meltdown of one of the biggest, most influential, and most scandal-ridden banks on the planet. 
     
     
     
    Duncan Mavin is uniquely sourced to tell the story of Credit Suisse's scandal-ridden demise, with dozens of inside-the-room contacts. The bank's collapse was the biggest shock to the financial system since the Financial Crisis of 2008, and sparked a media frenzy. But only Duncan has had access to key sources within the bank's executive suite—including former CEOs—and the inner circle that brings this critical, rollicking story to life.

    Leapfrog your competition by discovering the future of real estate.
    
    With tens of thousands of commercial real estate firms competing for properties, investors, and tenants, how can your CRE business ever stand a chance at competing? The key, according to seasoned CRE industry professional Rob Finlay, is for your company to become more data-driven and innovative.
         Your CRE business can't survive using obsolete marketing tactics, much less thrive. The traditional, tried-and-true approaches that worked five decades ago no longer get results. Unfortunately, too few small and midmarket CRE firms are investing in strategies and tactics that will improve their businesses and outcomes.
         Beyond the Building can help change your CRE business by showing you how to
    • be the first to identify and recognize patterns in the real estate market,
    • predict changing commercial real estate market dynamics,
    • enhance your leadership skills,
    • see around the corner to overtake your real estate competition.
         If you’re part of a real estate company that still sees itself as just owning property, it’s time to modernize and reposition your business as a technology company that just happens to invest in real estate. That is where the true future of real estate lies.
