Summary

Unbelievable Coin Inventions unveils the captivating story of coinage, demonstrating how these often-overlooked metal discs have significantly influenced civilization. More than mere mediums of exchange, coins reflect a society's values, technological advancement, and historical narrative. 

 
The book explores the evolution of monetary systems, starting from ancient barter economies to the standardization of coinage, highlighting the critical role of coins in facilitating trade and shaping economic policies. One fascinating aspect the book covers is the exploration of alternative currencies throughout history, such as the giant Rai stones of Yap, illustrating money's diverse forms.

 
 Furthermore, the hidden symbolism embedded within coin designs reveals how rulers used coinage for propaganda and to project power. Through a blend of historical evidence, archaeological findings, and numismatic research, the book examines the inventive spirit behind coin production and its impact on economic growth and social structures.

 
 Structured around core themes, Unbelievable Coin Inventions progresses from the origins of money to the impact of coins on the development of civilizations. It integrates economic theories, historical analysis, and art historical perspectives to provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary understanding of coinage. By focusing on the ingenuity behind coin production and the profound influence of monetary systems, the book offers a fresh perspective on a familiar object, making it valuable to anyone interested in economics, history, or numismatics.

  • The Power Of Humility - How Humble High Achievers Are Rewriting the Rules of Leadership - cover

    The Power Of Humility - How...

    Humility is interpreted differently in different cultures-as a blend of weakness, meekness and shyness, juxtaposed with kindness and compassion. When we describe Someone as a 'humble' person, we are referring to a person who is a reflection of anodyne blandness: nice, soft, simple, respectful and shy. Is it really that simple? 
     
    In an era in which hubris is not just a leitmotif but is openly rewarded in business and society, it is not surprising that when we talk about leadership, humility is the last adjective that comes to mind. Commonly, leadership is associated with charisma, aggression and often naked ambition. Is there a relation between humility and high achievement? Are leaders born with humility or is it an acquired trait? Can humble leaders inspire employees to perform better? Is humility a sign of weakness or a strength in leaders? 
    For over three decades, Dr PV Ramana Murthy has been a curious student of leadership. In The Power of Humility, he explores this subject in detail. A result of over five years of rigorous first-hand research and numerous interviews with business leaders, the book provides a fresh perspective on how humble high achievers are rewriting the rules of leadership. In the process, it not only addresses the importance of humility, as a cognitive and affective skill for leaders, but also builds a unique framework-a powerful manual of sorts-which current and future leaders can use to emulate in their professional careers.

    Amid growing international concerns about income inequality, labor abuses, racial injustice, and disinformation online, Conscience Incorporated examines the gaps in current corporate social responsibility measures and what more needs be done to address these challenges. The rise of new technologies such as smartphones and social media have made it easier than ever to document and spread awareness of corporate actions. Despite these developments, large corporations often fail to meaningfully address the human rights abuses linked to their business models and practices.  
     
      
     
    Drawing from research into the history of business ethics, Michael Posner provides a blueprint for global business leaders to navigate human rights challenges and adopt sustainable corporate practices. He highlights the need for increased protections for outsourced workers in faraway nations, greater attention to harmful online content, and prioritization of human rights by investors. 
     
     
     
    Posner proposes a series of concrete reforms and argues compellingly for why businesses need to devote greater time and resources to protecting basic human rights. Conscience Incorporated is a powerful challenge to the status quo and advocates for a fundamental shift in the principles that govern global businesses.
