  On the Wealth of Nations

  P.J. O'Rourke

  The #1 New York Times–bestselling political humorist reads Adam Smith’s classic economic treatise—so you don’t have to.   Recognized almost instantly on its publication in 1776 as the fundamental work of economics, The Wealth of Nations was also recognized as really long. The original edition totaled over nine hundred pages in two volumes—including the blockbuster sixty-seven-page “Digression concerning the Variations in the Value of Silver during the Course of the Four last Centuries,” which, to those uninterested in the historiography of currency supply, is like reading Modern Maturity in Urdu.   Although daunting, Adam Smith’s tome is still essential to understanding such current hot topics as outsourcing, trade imbalances, and Angelina Jolie. In this witty, approachable, and insightful examination of Smith and his groundbreaking work, P. J. O’Rourke puts his trademark wit to good use, and shows us why Smith is still relevant, why what seems obvious now was once revolutionary, and why the pursuit of self-interest is so important.   “If there is anyone on the planet who can make Adam Smith as entertaining and informative as he was prophetic, it’s P. J. O’Rourke.” —The Weekly Standard   “Hilarious . . . Learning history while better understanding the current economy—and laughing while doing it? Hard to ask for more.” —Rocky Mountain News

  Turns out much of the advice weve been given about how to  make the world a better place turns out to be dead wrong. Donating  to certain charities will do thousands of times more good that  donating to others. Non-profits that choose to carry out one  program instead of another will be hundreds of times less  successful than they could be, regardless of how bright,  hard-working, and compassionate their staff may be.  The majority of Americans are involved in charitable work. Most  of us donate. Many of us volunteer. Millions go to work each day at  a non-profit organization. By taking a more rigorous, calculated  approach to charity, we can learn how to do dramatically more good.  We can learn how to truly change the world.  This book shows you how. Drawing on fifteen years of non-profit  experience, a working knowledge of thousands of academic studies on  what drives charitable and behavioral decisions, interviews with  non-profit and philanthropy professionals, and years of reading,  writing, and lecturing on how to effectively bring about social  change.  The first book to address how a whole host of psychological and  social factors combine to drive us toward making bad charitable  decisions, its unique content and frank approach will help it stand  out in the field of non-profit and philanthropy books.

  The keys to adapting to—and succeeding in—any culture: “Highly recommended reading for business people.” —Library Journal   In today’s global economy, the ability to interact effectively across cultures is a fundamental job requirement for just about everyone. But it’s impossible to learn the customs and traits of every single culture. David Thomas and Kerr Inkson present a universal set of techniques and people skills that will allow you to adapt quickly to, and thrive in, any cultural environment. You’ll learn to discard your own culturally based assumptions and pay careful attention, in a mindful and creative way, to cues in cross-cultural situations. The authors show how to apply cultural intelligence in a series of specific situations: making decisions; communicating, negotiating, and resolving conflicts; leading and motivating others; and designing, managing, and contributing to multicultural groups and teams.   This extensively revised third edition has been updated with new stories showing cultural intelligence in action. Thomas and Inkson have broadened the focus beyond business to include organizations of all kinds—nonprofits, governments, educational institutions, and more. And they include a reliable and valid measure of cultural intelligence based on a decade of research by an international team of scholars.
