The Spirit of Wealth Preservation strikes at the heart of why we accumulate, preserve, and then transfer wealth. Readers are challenged with hard questions and relieved by unexpected answers.
Banks have taken a backseat since the global financial crisis over a decade ago. Today, our new financial masters are asset managers, like Blackstone and BlackRock. And they don’t just own financial assets. The roads we drive on; the pipes that supply our drinking water; the farmland that provides our food; energy systems for electricity and heat; hospitals, schools, and the homes in which many of us live—all now swell asset managers' bulging investment portfolios. As the owners of more and more of the basic building blocks of everyday life, asset managers shape the lives of each and every one of us in profound and disturbing ways. In this eye-opening follow-up to Rentier Capitalism, Brett Christophers peels back the veil on "asset manager society." Asset managers are unlike traditional owners of housing and other essential infrastructure. Buying and selling these life-supporting assets at a dizzying pace, the crux of their business model is not long-term investment and careful custodianship but making quick profits for themselves. In asset manager society, the natural and built environments that sustain us become one more vehicle for siphoning money from the many to the few.Voir livre

Financial freedom, defined as the ability to make life decisions without being constrained by financial resources, is becoming increasingly vital in today’s complex and rapidly changing world. As economies globalize, job markets evolve, and the cost of living rises, the quest for financial independence is not just a personal goal but a necessity for maintaining mental, emotional, and social well-being. The rise of automation, artificial intelligence, and outsourcing has led to a more dynamic and unpredictable job market. Workers in many industries are now facing shorter job tenures and more frequent career changes. Even professionals in relatively stable fields are not immune to economic downturns, company restructures, or unexpected layoffs. Financial freedom provides a buffer against these uncertanties.Voir livre

Drawing on seminal research on social identity and cultural intelligence, this book explains our impulse to divide people into "us" versus "them" and reveals how we can tackle tribalism, confront racism, and develop a common vision for the future. In Digital, Diverse & Divided, David Livermore outlines the four competencies of Cultural Intelligence (CQ): - Motivation (CQ Drive) - Cognition (CQ Knowledge) - Metacognition (CQ Strategy) - Behavior (CQ Action) He shows how we can apply this foundation to a wide range of intercultural situations. This book includes personal anecdotes, stories from around the world, and references to the work of prominent authors, psychologists, thinkers, and economists. Livermore examines different factors-place, race, gender, religious beliefs, and politics-that shape how we see the world and offers a way for us to reclaim our shared humanity.Voir livre
