Beschreibung

Published in 1776, Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations was the first comprehensive treatment of political economy. Today it is considered one of the most influential books ever written and its author is regarded as the father of classical economics. Smith did for economics what Darwin did for science. Here Karen McCreadie interprets this inspiring book for the modern day world of finance, business and economics, illustrating the timeless nature of Smith’s insights by bringing them to life with twenty-first century examples. Modern readers will discover:
• How to improve productivity;
• How to avoid divisive management;
• Why you should pay your people well;
• The importance of long-range thinking;
• Why playing the lottery is no substitute for economic strategy.
While we cannot know what Smith would have made of the excesses of capitalism we’ve already witnessed in the twenty-first century, the range of ideas inside demonstrates that The Wealth of Nations is every bit as relevant today as it was in 1776.
This interpretation of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations is not a substitute for the original. Its purpose is simply to illustrate the timeless nature of Smith’s insights by bringing them to life with contemporary examples. Given the continuing turbulence of the global economy this brilliant interpretation of a classic of political economy couldn’t be more timely.

    This is a combination of a series of books. 15 short books, to be exact, which are divided into the following topics: 
      
    Topic 1: Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Bipolar Disorder and narcissism? 
      
    If you have, this book is perfect for you. The two disorders are elaborately described and summarized. Symptoms, causes, and solutions are provided. 
    Topic 2: Sometimes, when people are diagnosed with bipolar disorder, the diagnosis is wrong. In some cases, the condition is mistaken for borderline personality disorder, or the main essence of the disorder is still missing. We will investigate this further, as well as some of the criteria that a diagnosis like that has to meet. 
      
    Topic 3: Many people have psychological issues. Some even have something we call “traumas,” either from their childhood or some earlier events in their adulthood years. Whatever we suffer from, there are usually solutions that help us progress and cope with the problems we face. 
    One of those solutions could be cognitive behavioral therapy. This kind of therapy has been tested and has proven to work in many cases. 
    Topic 4: What causes someone to have Borderline Personality Disorder? Well, the opinions vary, and each person’s life is different, but to point you in the right direction, we’ll discuss some patterns and common life events and traumas that can contribute to it. 
    Topic 5: Many people try to get a grasp of what goes on in the mind of a serial killer. Today, we can at least show you a limited perspective and some solid insights in the workings of their brains. 
    Ten other topics are included in this book bundle. So, I encourage you to pick it up and start listening.
