Beschreibung

Ida Minerva Tarbell's 'The History of the Standard Oil Company (Complete Illustrated Edition)' is a groundbreaking investigative work that exposes the monopolistic practices and ruthless business tactics employed by the Standard Oil Company during the late 19th century. Tarbell's meticulously researched account combines journalistic rigor with literary flair, making it a landmark example of muckraking journalism. The author's detailed descriptions of the company's influence on the oil industry provide invaluable insight into the era of big business and the impact of corporate power on society at the time. This complete illustrated edition features enhanced visuals that bring Tarbell's narrative to life, offering readers a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Ida Minerva Tarbell, a pioneering female journalist and progressive reformer, was known for her fearless investigations into corporate corruption and her advocacy for social justice. Her personal experiences witnessing the impact of monopolies on small businesses inspired her to write this seminal work, which ultimately led to significant antitrust reforms in the United States. Tarbell's dedication to exposing injustice and holding powerful entities accountable shines through in this comprehensive history. Recommended for readers interested in American history, journalism, and the impact of corporate power, 'The History of the Standard Oil Company' is a vital resource for understanding the complexities of monopolies and the enduring relevance of investigative reporting in shaping public discourse and policy.

    In the streets of India, camels pull carts loaded with construction materials, and monkeys race across roads, dodging cars. In China, men in Mao jackets pedal bicycles along newly built highways, past skyscrapers sprouting like bamboo. Yet exotic India is as near as the voice answering an 800 number for one dollar an hour. Communist China is as close as the nearest Wal-Mart, its shelves full of goods made in Chinese factories.Not since the United States rose to prominence a century ago have we seen such tectonic shifts in global power; but India and China are vastly different nations, with opposing economic and political strategies-strategies we must understand in order to survive in the new global economy. The Elephant and the Dragon tells how these two Asian nations, each with more than a billion people, have spurred a new "gold rush," and what this will mean for the rest of the world.

    We are well aware of the rise of the 1% as the rapid growth of economic inequality has put the majority of the world's wealth in the pockets of fewer and fewer. One much-discussed solution to this imbalance is to significantly increase the rate at which we tax the wealthy. But with an enormous amount of the world's wealth hidden in tax havens-in countries like Switzerland, Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands-this wealth cannot be fully accounted for and taxed fairly. No one, from economists to bankers to politicians, has been able to quantify exactly how much of the world's assets are currently hidden-until now. Gabriel Zucman is the first economist to offer reliable insight into the actual extent of the world's money held in tax havens. And it's staggering. In The Hidden Wealth of Nations, Zucman offers an inventive and sophisticated approach to quantifying how big the problem is, how tax havens work and are organized, and how we can begin to approach a solution. His research reveals that tax havens are a quickly growing danger to the world economy. In the past five years, the amount of wealth in tax havens has increased over 25%-there has never been as much money held offshore as there is today. This hidden wealth accounts for at least $7.6 trillion, equivalent to 8% of the global financial assets of households. Fighting the notion that any attempts to vanquish tax havens are futile, since some countries will always offer more advantageous tax rates than others, as well the counter-argument that since the financial crisis tax havens have disappeared, Zucman shows how both sides are actually very wrong. In The Hidden Wealth of Nations he offers an ambitious agenda for reform, focused on ways in which countries can change the incentives of tax havens. Only by first understanding the enormity of the secret wealth can we begin to estimate the kind of actions that would force tax havens to give up their practices. Zucman's work has quickly become the gold standard for quantifying the amount of the world's assets held in havens. In this concise audiobook, he lays out in approachable language how the international banking system works and the dangerous extent to which the large-scale evasion of taxes is undermining the global market as a whole. If we are to find a way to solve the problem of increasing inequality, The Hidden Wealth of Nations is essential listening.
