Summary

What Has Government Done to Our Money? was first published in 1962 as Money, free and unfree, and details the history of money, from early barter systems, to the gold standard, to present-day systems of paper money. Rothbard explains how money was originally developed, and why gold was chosen as the preferred commodity to use as money. The author also explains how the gold standard makes money a commodity, and how market forces create a stable economy. Rothbard shows that many European governments went bankrupt due to World War I and left the gold standard in order to try to solve their financial issues, which was not the right solution. He also argues that this strategy was partially responsible for World War II and led to economic problems throughout the world.

    The author of Uncommon Grounds offers “a rich and resonantly detailed account of an unlikely partnership” that redefined the concept of fair trade (Coffee Review).   The Akha hill Tribe of Thailand has a long, tumultuous history. Politics, economics, and land development consistently worked against the Akha’s desire to move away from their dependency on opium production and create a stable future for their children. That all changed in 2006 when Canadian businessman John Darch met with Thai entrepreneur Wicha Promyong.   Their meeting resulted in the establishment of an equal partnership business venture that goes beyond fair trade: the Doi Chaang Coffee Company. Beyond Fair Trade tells the story of the growth of this unique partnership, its successes and challenges, and the incredible people who made it happen.

    While politicians, entrepreneurs, and even school children could tell you that sustainability is an important and nearly universal value, many of them, and many of us, may struggle to define the term, let alone trace its history. What is sustainability? Is it always about the environment? What science do we need to fully grasp what it requires? What does sustainability mean for business? How can governments plan for a sustainable future?This short, accessible book written in the signature question-and-answer format of the What Everyone Needs to Know series tackles these and numerous other questions. Sustainability is a porous topic, which has been adapted and reshaped for developing ecological models, improving corporate responsibility, setting environmental and land-use policies, organizing educational curricula, and reimagining the goals of governance and democracy. Where other treatments of this topic tend to focus on just one application of sustainability, this primer encompasses everything from global development and welfare to social justice and climate change. With chapters that discuss sustainability in the contexts of profitable businesses, environmental risks, scientific research, and the day-to-day business of local government, it gives listeners a deep understanding of one of the most essential concepts of our time.

    In How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes, economic expert  and bestselling author of Crash Proof and The Little Book  of Bull Moves in Bear Markets, Peter Schiff, presents economics  in two informative, yet thoroughly entertaining tales. The  illustrations were previously published by Peter Schiff's father,  Irwin A. Schiff, a trader and financial expert. The book takes  complex economic issues and distills them into a rousing allegory.  For example, a story takes place on a tropical island  where hunter-gatherer cavemen struggle daily to catch fish for  basic survival. As the economy of the island becomes  increasingly dynamic, institutions and government entities develop  to protect the islanders' savings and assets, and Schiff explains  the complexities that accompany this growth. With wit and humor,  Schiff explains the roots of economic growth, the uses of capital,  the destructive nature of consumer credit, and many other topical  principles of economic theory.   The tales leave you with a powerful understanding of  inflation and the abuses of the monetary system. How an Economy  Grows is an insightful illustrated book that both  entertains and teaches readers about the economic system.

    Publisher’s Weekly called John Kotter’s 1996 book Leading Change “a truly accessible, clear and visionary guide” to corporate transformation.
    
    A professor at Harvard Business School, Kotter spent years coaching organizations—large and small; successful, less successful, and nearly bankrupt—through their own change processes. Some worked; others didn’t. Distilling wisdom from these experiences, Kotter identifies eight common mistakes managers make implementing change. He then uses them to propose an eight-stage model that he argues can lead to successful organizational transformation. Leadership is crucial to change. In Kotter’s view, unsuccessful transformations usually result from poor management decisions.
    
    Management General named Leading Change the management book of the year in 1996. Nearly 20 years later, would-be change-makers still rely on Kotter’s highly readable, jargon-free combination of visionary guide and practical toolkit. An international bestseller, it remains a “must read” for anyone who wants to move from thinking about change, to actually making it happen.
