  Something for Nothing -...

  In 2001, Goldman Sachs structured a complex financial contract so that its client, the government of Greece, would appear to have far less debt than it actually did. When news of this transaction came out years later, the inevitable question arose: Even though Goldman's actions were legal, were they ethically wrong? Is modern finance itself inherently unethical? 
   
   
   
  In Something for Nothing, financial economist Maureen O'Hara explains that one of the key innovations of modern finance is its reliance on arbitrage, the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets to generate profits and remove inefficiencies. When done correctly, arbitrage can create value at little or no cost (in effect, getting "something for nothing"); but it can also be an exploitative tool. 
   
   
   
  In a lucid, insightful discussion of the ethics of arbitrage in modern finance, O'Hara reveals how the rules can often be stretched into still-legal yet highly unethical business practices. Examining key cases in clear and persuasive prose, O'Hara illuminates various aspects of financial ethics, from the Goldman Greek transaction to Lehman Brothers' attempt to cover up its debt, JPMorgan Chase's maneuvers in California's energy markets, Bernie Madoff's trading strategies in the 1980s, high-frequency trading practices, and toxic loans in France.

She had built a life of material success, yet something essential was missing.Katherine was born to immigrant parents who came to Canada after surviving World War II camps. Her early years were marked with post-war trauma, financial stress, and learning difficulties.Fueled by a passion for a better life, she became a loving parent to four children and a top executive at Canada’s largest bank. But everything changed in a moment while visiting her daughter’s university dorm. A gender inclusivity poster spoke to a truth she’d buried deep inside. She saw Katherine: the woman and the essence of who she had always been.At 50, she affirmed her gender, coming out as Katherine to the corporate world in front of 80,000 colleagues. Her courage proved that authenticity and leadership are not only compatible but essential. Katherine ignited change, inspiring a more inclusive and compassionate approach to leadership. She amplified voices from all walks of life, especially those who knew hardship, adversity, and the feelings of not belonging. She created space for human uniqueness to be seen and valued as a vital ingredient in building the kind, inclusive, and sustainable world we long for.Sincerely, Katherine. is a story of resilience, self-love, and the profound impact of leading with authenticity, inclusivity, and purpose.

  The iconic Henry Mintzberg provides a crystal-clear map to the forms and forces that shape all human organizations, synthesizing his fifty years of research. 
   
  We live in a world of organizations, from our birth in hospitals until our burial by funeral homes. In between, we are educated, employed, entertained, and exasperated by organizations. We had better understand how these strange beasts really work. But where can we go to find out? 
   
  Welcome to Understanding Organizations . . . Finally! For half a century, Mintzberg has been observing organizations, advising them, engaging them, and escaping them. Here he offers a masterful update and revision of his 1983 classic, Structure in Fives. 
   
  Believing there is one best way to structure organizations is the worst way to do so. A better place to start is by recognizing different species of organizations. Mintzberg identifies seven-personal enterprises, programmed machines, professional assemblies, project pioneers, and others. He explores these forms and the seven forces that drive them toward hybrids and across their life cycles. 
   
  You will find no better guide to the care and feeding of these extraordinarily varied and vital creatures than this book.
