Sinopsis

What is Value of Life
 
The value of life is an economic value used to quantify the benefit of avoiding a fatality. It is also referred to as the cost of life, value of preventing a fatality (VPF), implied cost of averting a fatality (ICAF), and value of a statistical life (VSL). In social and political sciences, it is the marginal cost of death prevention in a certain class of circumstances. In many studies the value also includes the quality of life, the expected life time remaining, as well as the earning potential of a given person especially for an after-the-fact payment in a wrongful death claim lawsuit.

    Ever wonder how legendary linebacker Bobby Wagner applies Jay-Z's entrepreneurial lessons to his football career? Or what studying the music business taught graffiti pioneer Fab 5 Freddy about distributing his art? Any entrepreneur or professional can gain a greater understanding of what's happening in the world -- from trends like NFTs to changes in the broader business climate -- by observing what has happened to (and because of) musicians. Doing so offers a path to wrapping one's brain around what may yet be coming down the pike in any industry. Take the shift from analog to digital, in which vinyl and cassettes were replaced by CDs long before DVDs conquered VHS. Or the move from physical to virtual, where Napster decimated record stores even as bricks-and-mortar retailers like Blockbuster blindly chugged toward their doom. In "We Are All Musicians Now," former Forbes senior editor Zack O'Malley Greenburg educates and enlightens while offering the audience backstage passes to the most fascinating industry transformations of the past fifty years.

    Something for Nothing -...

    In 2001, Goldman Sachs structured a complex financial contract so that its client, the government of Greece, would appear to have far less debt than it actually did. When news of this transaction came out years later, the inevitable question arose: Even though Goldman's actions were legal, were they ethically wrong? Is modern finance itself inherently unethical? 
     
     
     
    In Something for Nothing, financial economist Maureen O'Hara explains that one of the key innovations of modern finance is its reliance on arbitrage, the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets to generate profits and remove inefficiencies. When done correctly, arbitrage can create value at little or no cost (in effect, getting "something for nothing"); but it can also be an exploitative tool. 
     
     
     
    In a lucid, insightful discussion of the ethics of arbitrage in modern finance, O'Hara reveals how the rules can often be stretched into still-legal yet highly unethical business practices. Examining key cases in clear and persuasive prose, O'Hara illuminates various aspects of financial ethics, from the Goldman Greek transaction to Lehman Brothers' attempt to cover up its debt, JPMorgan Chase's maneuvers in California's energy markets, Bernie Madoff's trading strategies in the 1980s, high-frequency trading practices, and toxic loans in France.
