  Summary of Mohamed A. El Erian's The Only Game in Town is a discussion of the role of central banks in confronting the current financial and economic dangers facing the world. Following the financial collapse of 2008, central banks pursued aggressive and innovative policies in an effort to stabilize the world economy. Policy makers have failed to enact the measures necessary to ensure growth, and so central banks have had to continue to innovate and stabilize. In the long term, however, central banks cannot sustain growth on their own. If governments do not take steps to create growth and regulate financial markets, there will be another financial crisis...

  “[A] retelling of the careers and the personalities . . . who formed today’s world of high finance.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch   The 2008 financial collapse, the expansion of corporate and private wealth, the influence of money in politics—many of Wall Street’s contemporary trends can be traced back to the work of fourteen critical figures who wrote, and occasionally broke, the rules of American finance.   Edward Morris plots in absorbing detail Wall Street’s transformation from a clubby enclave of financiers to a symbol of vast economic power. His book begins with J. Pierpont Morgan, who ruled the American banking system at the turn of the twentieth century, and ends with Sandy Weill, whose collapsing Citigroup required the largest taxpayer bailout in history. In between, Wall Streeters relates the triumphs and missteps of twelve other financial visionaries. From Charles Merrill, who founded Merrill Lynch and introduced the small investor to the American stock market; to Michael Milken, the so-called junk bond king; to Jack Bogle, whose index funds redefined the mutual fund business; to Myron Scholes, who laid the groundwork for derivative securities; and to Benjamin Graham, who wrote the book on securities analysis. Anyone interested in the modern institution of American finance will devour this history of some of its most important players.

  Many of the central concerns of the twenty-first century—racial inequity, white supremacy movements, greater inclusiveness of diverse peoples—are rooted in facing and overcoming prejudices, both common and hidden. Another great challenge—the role of wealth and innovation in solving the climate crisis—is also riddled with disabling prejudices about how corporations work, and about the rights and needs of consumers and world citizens.In his twenty-first book, Wealth and Climate Competitiveness: The New Narrative on Business and Society, Bruce Piasecki argues that a set of five recurring prejudices, from 1900 to 2020, have held up real progress on climate action. Using the examples of select firms like Trane Technologies, and oil giants like the transforming bp, Piasecki sets out to define climate competitiveness as a path to solutions that decarbonize, decentralize, and digitize our near future.Climate competitiveness involves a responsible, steady, resolve-based focus on lessons derived from human behavior and social movements. By using Robin Hood as a narrative example, this book is designed to give you a deep understanding of the changed landscape we now face, and how you can resolve to embrace climate competitiveness to drive your personal success, and the corporate and institutional success of our world.

  Make MONEY Online - A Complete...

  There is nothing wrong with this but you must immediately understand that living on an income thanks to passive income, being free financially, means only that you can afford not to be always productive and no longer have to depend on a professional income.  
  It therefore means having total control over your finances and your time.  
  It means doing what you want often when you want, it means having a lot of free time… but it doesn't mean not doing anything anymore.  
  Personally, it is for these latter reasons that I began to explore the economic and financial world many years ago when I learned that the key to living on an income lay in the concept of passive income.  
  Then it took me 7 years of great commitment and many attempts to learn how the "system" worked, and then to acquire mastery of it, up to having full control.  
  It may not be a definitive status because some opportunities capable of generating passive income may be limited in time and therefore it is necessary to be aware that it may be necessary to update one's sources of passive income even when certain results have been achieved.  
  Therefore, those who think they can constantly stay sitting in the sun from morning to evening just because they have understood how to generate passive income, can safely stop reading ... because they are deluded or because someone has told them that this is so!  
  So, let's start talking about how to make more money by not working, than how much you can make by working.

  If you're in a job interview, how should you think about the mindset of the interviewer? If you've just been promoted, how do you handle the tensions of managing former peers? And what are the telltale mental signs that it's time to start planning your next career move?We know that psychology can teach us much about behaviors and challenges relevant to work, such as making better decisions, influencing people, and dealing with stress. But many popular books on these topics analyze them as universal human phenomena without providing real-life, constructive career help.Bring Your Brain to Work changes all that. Professor, author, and popular radio host Art Markman focuses on three essential elements of a successful career—getting a job, excelling at work, and finding your next position—and expertly illustrates how cognitive science, especially psychology, sheds fascinating and useful light on each of these elements.Integrating the latest research with engaging stories and examples from across the professional spectrum, Bring Your Brain to Work gets inside your head, helping you to succeed through a better understanding of yourself and those around you.

  Logistics is a part of the supply chain management which strategies, executes and manages the storage and flow of products and goods between two points. The first point is the origin of the goods or the place of storage/production and the endpoint is the place where the products or goods are going to be consumed according to the demands of the customers in that specific area.
