Synopsis

Contested Artifacts explores the complex world of cultural property disputes, where history, art, and world politics collide. The book delves into artifact repatriation, examining how international law, ethics, and national identity fuel conflicts over cultural heritage. Did you know that the Benin Bronzes, for example, are claimed by Nigeria from various European museums, highlighting the legacy of colonial-era acquisition? The study emphasizes that resolving these disputes requires a nuanced approach, considering historical context and ethical responsibilities beyond simple legal claims.

 
The book uniquely balances legal and ethical dimensions, analyzing cases like the Elgin Marbles and the Koh-i-Noor diamond to illustrate the multifaceted nature of these disputes. It progresses by first introducing foundational concepts, and then moves on to specific case studies, incorporating perspectives from museums, governments, and indigenous communities.

 
Ultimately, it proposes collaborative frameworks for resolving disputes, emphasizing shared stewardship and cultural exchange.

    “It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes.” ~Warren Buffet 
    Crisis manager George Pillari takes the reader through a series of real-life case studies to show us that decision making in tense situations is a skill to be learned and perfected. Different from most business books that talk about recipes for success (improve your habits, be more productive, etc.), Stupidities highlights what you need to avoid in order to be successful. 
    In his foreword to the book, Guy Kawasaki sums it up: 
    “80% of success is avoiding stupidity.” 
    We learn from the success and failures of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Holmes, Google X, JP Morgan, the New York Yankees, the Titan Sub, Thomas Edison, Taylor Swift, and others. 
    The Seven Deadly Stupidities: 
    Going for the Moonshot 
    Surrendering to FOMO 
    Relying on Family and Friends 
    Being Blinded by the Upside 
    Trusting the Media 
    Using Quick and Dirty Thinking 
    Neglecting to Measure Twice 
    There is the amazing story of Soviet General Petrov, who avoided all seven of the stupidities and prevented a global thermonuclear war. 
    The chapter-by-chapter format lets the reader thumb through and pick the order to read the book. The summary of each stupidity includes lessons learned and advice on how to avoid the stupidity and “be smarter.” 
    We are twice as likely to respond to negative events than positive ones. Pillari uses this behavioral sciences insight to guide the reader through how to learn from the failures of others and become a better decision-maker.
