Sinopse

Defense Contracts investigates the global defense industry, exploring whether it's driven by genuine security needs or by economic and political ambitions. This sector is one of the most influential and opaque, with government contracts fueling its operations. The book unveils how geopolitical events shape the demand for military goods, directly impacting the industry's growth. Did you know that the pursuit of profit and strategic advantage can sometimes overshadow genuine security needs, leading to questionable spending and heightened international tensions?

 
The book dissects the complex web of government contracts, profiles major defense corporations, and analyzes the impact of geopolitics. It begins by introducing the defense industry's principles and historical evolution, then moves into an analysis of government contracting processes. Readers will find detailed case studies of leading defense corporations, followed by an exploration of geopolitical flashpoints and global trends that influence defense spending.

 
Understanding the dynamics of arms trade and defense spending is critical for anyone interested in global security and political economy. The book's unique value lies in its data-driven perspective, moving beyond simplistic narratives to reveal the underlying economic and political imperatives shaping the industry. By drawing connections between political science, economics, and international relations, Defense Contracts provides a holistic view of the forces at play, making it a valuable resource for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this critical sector.

    Be Your Own Cheerleader is the first book to help Asian and South Asian women self-advocate and self-promote in Corporate America. 
     
     
     
    The intention for Be Your Own Cheerleader is to help professional Asian and South Asian women—who have toggled between the two very different cultures of East and West—thrive in the workplace. When you are raised in the collective we, it is very difficult to make a name and place for yourself in the individual I. Not only are you unskilled in advocating for yourself, but you are also unsure of how to be proud of your work or accomplishments. Neelu Kaur's analysis of various research is at the intersection of leadership and wellness, offering a cultural, psychological, and spiritual approach to rising as a leader while simultaneously addressing mental wellbeing. 
     
     
     
    This is the first book to help Asian and South Asian women succeed in the North American workplace. Be Your Own Cheerleader is divided into three sections: Cultural, Psychological, and Spiritual. Each section is designed to give Asian and South Asian women different tools in their toolkit to be their own cheerleader at work.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    You’ve seen it happen. A plan that looked great on paper struggles when you try to use it. The team is confused. The tools don’t work together. Nobody knows quite what’s happening. The plan wasn’t wrong—it was incomplete. Or you might have never had to build an operating plan. It’s hard to know where to start. The good news? Once you know what to look for, you can build clear, complete plans every time. 
    Most plans struggle because they’re missing at least one of four critical pieces: People, Tools, Processes, and Communications. Miss even one, and you create gaps that derail your work before it starts. 
    This Book is For: 
    Managers tired of plans that struggle 
    Operations Leaders building systems that must succeed 
    Change Management Professionals guiding companies through transitions 
    Team Leaders who need a simple, repeatable planning system

    The Economics of the Stock Market

    The current consensus economic model, the neoclassical synthesis, depends on aprioristic assumptions that are shown to be invalid when tested against the data and fails to include finance. Economic policy based on this consensus has led to the financial crisis of 2008, the "Great Recession" that followed, and the slow subsequent rate of growth. In The Economics of the Stock Market, Andrew Smithers proposes a model that is robust when tested, and by including the impact of the stock market on the economy, overcomes both these defects. The faults of the current consensus model are shown to result typically from an unscientific methodology in which assumptions are held to be valid despite their incompatibility with data evidence. Smithers demonstrates examples of these faults: the assumption that leverage does not affect the value of produced capital assets; the assumption that short-term and long-term interest rates, and the cost of equity capital, are codetermined; and the assumption that the decisions of corporate managements aim to maximize the present value of corporate assets rather than the value determined by the stock market. The Economics of the Stock Market proposes a model that includes and explains the stationarity of real returns on equity, based on the interaction of the differing utility preferences of the managers of companies and the owners of financial capital.
