Sinopse

What is Natural Monopoly
 
A natural monopoly is a monopoly in an industry in which high infrastructural costs and other barriers to entry relative to the size of the market give the largest supplier in an industry, often the first supplier in a market, an overwhelming advantage over potential competitors. Specifically, an industry is a natural monopoly if the total cost of one firm, producing the total output, is lower than the total cost of two or more firms producing the entire production. In that case, it is very probable that a company (monopoly) or minimal number of companies (oligopoly) will form, providing all or most relevant products and/or services. This frequently occurs in industries where capital costs predominate, creating large economies of scale about the size of the market; examples include public utilities such as water services, electricity, telecommunications, mail, etc. Natural monopolies were recognized as potential sources of market failure as early as the 19th century; John Stuart Mill advocated government regulation to make them serve the public good.

Soldiers and Silver - Mobilizing...

Michael J. Taylor

By the middle of the second century BCE, after nearly one hundred years of warfare, Rome had exerted its control over the entire Mediterranean world, forcing the other great powers of the region—Carthage, Macedonia, Egypt, and the Seleucid empire—to submit militarily and financially. But how, despite its relative poverty and its frequent numerical disadvantage in decisive battles, did Rome prevail? Michael J. Taylor explains this surprising outcome by examining the role that manpower and finances played, providing a comparative study that quantifies the military mobilizations and tax revenues for all five powers. Though Rome was the poorest state, it enjoyed the largest military mobilization, drawing from a pool of citizens, colonists, and allies, while its wealthiest adversaries failed to translate revenues into large or successful armies. Taylor concludes that state-level extraction strategies were decisive in the warfare of the period, as states with high conscription and low taxation raised larger, more successful armies than those that primarily sought to maximize taxation. Comprehensive and detailed, Soldiers and Silver offers a new and sophisticated perspective on the political dynamics and economies of these ancient Mediterranean empires.

Alex Wolf

Success is something that brings motivation full circle. No one wants to fail in life, and most of us seek to attain something that is our primary aim and desire throughout our lives. This is a meticulously written book about ambition and achievement. Every person's definition of success is different; it is their perspective that determines what counts as success. With that in mind, the goal of this book is to reach out to everyone who has a dream and wants to cross off their bucket list of desires.
It is a book for anyone, regardless of age or gender, who has a desire to achieve success beyond any comparison. It is common to look up to another person's job and appraise their journey from both a favourable and critical perspective. It is evident that winning is not an easy affair.

You can connect the dots and strive toward your ambitions by studying the rationale behind some of the most important habits of successful people. This book is sure to pique the interest of those who have a strong desire to triumph in life.
Losing weight is arguably one of the most commonly failed goals that people set for themselves. In general, as human beings, we always aspire towards a life of health and fitness. However, many of us don’t necessarily have the drive or the know-how to achieve those kinds of aspirations. More than that, not everyone has the kind of resilience or discipline to see things through once they get started.
Health and happiness are not mutually exclusive concepts. It’s perfectly possible for you to be fit and have fun at the same time. It’s all just a matter of reshaping your mindset and practising all of the tried, tested, and trusted techniques that will be discussed in this book.
