Sinossi

Soviet Industry explores the Soviet Union's rapid industrialization, focusing on the ambitious Five-Year Plans and their impact on the Soviet economy and labor force. This historical work examines how a predominantly agrarian society transformed into an industrial powerhouse, a process driven by Marxist-Leninist economic theory and state-led development. One intriguing aspect is the shift from agriculture to industry, which involved the forced migration of workers to new industrial centers. The book uses archival data and statistical analysis to examine the economic planning. The book argues that this unprecedented growth came at significant social and human costs, reshaping the nation's economic structure and labor dynamics. For example, the collectivization of agriculture, while aimed at supporting industrial growth, had profound consequences for rural populations.

 
Soviet Industry begins with the theoretical framework of Soviet economic planning and then examines the Five-Year Plans, their goals, and their outcomes across key sectors. The book provides a balanced perspective, acknowledging the achievements of Soviet industrialization while critically examining its human and environmental costs. It offers valuable insights into the complexities of a centrally planned economy and the long-term consequences of state-led development, which continue to influence Russia's economic and political landscape today.

    About the Book: 
     
     
    Globalization and advanced technologies have given ever greater power to the person who decides if your business will succeed or fail-the customer. Whether your company serves consumers or other businesses, you can no longer compete on price and quality alone. To gain profits and market share, you have to deliver an experience that makes customers want to come back-and that sets you apart from the competition. You need to seize The Customer Experience Edge. 
     
     
    Drawing on over sixty years of experience in shaping customer centric strategies and technologies for leading companies, three innovators bring you practical and proven ways to create your customer experience programs and overall business strategies. The key is to strike a balance between programs that are effective but prohibitively expensive and programs that fail to dedicate enough resources to be effective. In the middle ground lie the tools that everyone overlooks-foundational and disruptive technologies. These are the authors’ main fields of expertise, and these are what make the customer experience profitable. 
     
     
    The Customer Experience Edge explains how to combine strategy, leadership, organizational change, and technology to: 
     
     Develop products and services that are highly valued by customers 
     
    Form bonds that keep clients from turning to competitors 
     
    Transform customers into your best advocates 
     
     
     
     
    It’s a new world of business, and customers are keenly aware that their loyalty is valuable currency. The Customer Experience Edge gives you a cost-effective, sustainable way to provide an unforgettable experience that builds loyalty and turns it into real, measurable profits.

    This fable is a journey that develops regardless of the conditions that represent time and space. This allows us to jump back and forth between the different universes that determine the destiny of its protagonist (represented by the metaphor of the archipelago).
    To facilitate its listening, a language of temporal and spatial references is used. This makes it seem like the story happens chronologically, although everything happens simultaneously.
    It's about life and freedom. And as with understanding our existence, you can access its content in disorder. Starting in any chapter and jumping to another. Or you can do it the traditional way. It is very likely that in both cases you will come across some topics that are unclear to you until you listen it in its entirety.

    In The Next Democracy, social entrepreneur Erdem Ovacik delivers a startlingly insightful discussion of a new collective governance model based on markets and data that can improve our wellbeing as individuals, and as a society. 
     
     
     
    The author explains how we can develop the next generation of government that is data-driven, iterative, transparent, and that allows us to decentrally and directly make laws online using prediction markets and delegative voting. 
     
     
     
    Using the same data and market principles, the author also explores the delivery of public goods. You'll explore how we can assign real value to our public goods, changing the way we think about valuation and budgets for public spending. Filled with case studies, new governance models and frameworks, and key takeaways and summaries of each chapter, you'll also find
