Summary

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.

    Inflation - A Guide for Users...

    Inflation is back, and its impact can be felt everywhere, from the grocery store to the mortgage market to the results of elections around the world. Yet the conventional wisdom about inflation is stuck in the past. Since the 1970s, there has only really been one playbook for fighting inflation: raise interest rates, thereby creating unemployment and a recession, which will lower prices. But this simple story hides a multitude of beliefs about why prices go up and how policymakers can wrestle them back down, beliefs that are often wrong, damaging, and have little empirical basis. 
 
 
 
Leading political economists Mark Blyth and Nicolò Fraccaroli reveal why inflation really happens, challenge how we think about it, and argue for fresh approaches to combat it. With accessible and engaging commentary, and a good dose of humor, Blyth and Fraccaroli bring the complexities of economic policy and inflation indices down to earth. 
 
 
 
Climate shocks, demographic change, geopolitical tensions, and politicians promising to upend the global order are all combining to create a more inflationary future, making a new paradigm for understanding inflation urgently necessary. Astute, timely, and engaging, Inflation is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping our economy and politics.

    BOOM! - Leadership that Breaks...

    A modern organization can’t survive without innovation. 
It happens all the time: Vibrant and cutting-edge companies get comfortable — and complacent. They lose touch with their innovative roots. Their dynamic culture slips away. Bureaucracy takes over. Progress slows. Then stops. 
It’s leadership’s job to set things back on course. 
Unfortunately, most leaders don’t know how. They’ve been taught outdated strategies. Strategies that don’t move the needle. Strategies that don’t work in this dynamic day and age. 
So, despite everyone’s best intentions, nothing changes. 
The solution: an innovation playbook for the modern era. 
When Brigadier General John “Dragon” Teichert took command of Edwards Air Force Base in 2018, it was choked by bureaucracy and complacency. 
He applied a unique and unorthodox strategy to launch an innovation movement and unleash the individual genius of the base’s 11,000 Airmen. 
The result? Edwards became the most innovative Air Force Base on the planet, dwarfing the innovation activity of the rest of the Air Force combined. 
In this book, he reveals exactly how he did it. 
Written by a leader for leaders, BOOM! is jam-packed with fascinating aviation analogies, little-known stories of Air Force hero Chuck Yeager, intriguing tales from the highest visibility base on the planet, and stories of internationally impactful activities in war-torn Iraq. 
BOOM! reveals an innovation roadmap that transcends jet planes and rockets – a process that can work for any leader, at any level, in any industry, who wants to move their mission forward and deliver outstanding results.
