  What’s the Matter with Delaware?...

  Hal Weitzman

  The legal home to over a million companies, Delaware has more registered businesses than residents. Why do virtually all of the biggest corporations in the United States register there? This book reveals how a systematic enterprise lies behind the business-friendly corporate veneer, one that has kept the state afloat financially by diverting public funds away from some of the poorest people in the United States and supporting dictators and criminals across the world. 
   
   
   
  Hal Weitzman shows how the de facto capital of corporate America has provided safe haven to money launderers, kleptocratic foreign rulers, and human traffickers, and facilitated tax dodging and money laundering by multinational companies and international gangsters. Revenues from Delaware's business-formation industry, known as the Franchise, account for two-fifths of the state's budget and have helped to keep the tax burden on its residents among the lowest in the United States. Delaware derives enormous political clout from the Franchise, effectively writing the corporate code for the entire country. 
   
   
   
  What's the Matter with Delaware? shows how, in Joe Biden's home state, the corporate laws get written behind closed doors, enabling the rich and powerful to do business in the shadows.

  Are you eager to climb the corporate ladder? Did you just land the role of a manager? Are you excited to transition into this role with no hassles? Are you feeling a little nervous, overwhelmed, and unsure of yourself in your new management position? Do you want to improve your existing skill sets and become an excellent manager? If yes, then this is the perfect book for you. 
  One professional transition that stands out and is vital to your career is shifting from playing the role of an individual contributor to becoming a manager. There are a lot of things that new managers need to learn apart from leading others. You need to work on yourself, win your team members' trust and respect, become a motivator for them, and find the right balance between the delegation of responsibilities and maintaining control. 
  Becoming a manager is the first step in this process. You work hard, dedicate long hours, and give up your weekends to earn a promotion. When you become the manager, you are thrilled, but this new job comes with additional responsibilities and incredibly high expectations that require you to work very long hours. This new role you will play differs from any other you may have had before, which can be a source of extreme stress, demotivation, and lead to self-doubt. 
  So, if you want to become a brilliant manager, the first step is to arm yourself with all the information you need about this role.

  What the Three Little Pigs Have...

  What The Three Little Pigs Have to Teach Us is a story about a business on the brink. Clients are threatening to leave because errors are mounting up. Key staff walk. The partners argue about what is the right approach. And the clock keeps ticking. 
  What do the three little pigs have to do with it? 
  Remember that only one pig had enough smarts to build a house that could withstand stinky wolf breath? He designed the house to get the right outcome - to prevent the wolf's attack on all fronts. Remember the fire in the chimney? 
  More than a story about ‘a business on the brink’ this book is an important reminder for anyone running a business that ‘work smarter, not harder’ is still a thing. Better still, it cracks the code on what ‘work smarter’ really means. 
  This is a how-to book. Once the reader understands that their people are not only not the problem, but part of the solution, they can use the tools provided to make changes in their own business. 
  The authors of this little fable have loads of experience in manufacturing, process design and quality control. Which probably makes them the last people you invite to your dinner party. But they do know how to translate that experience into a simple philosophy and make it easy to learn. 
  Working smarter is designing the way work gets done so that good outcomes happen with less skill. 
  Rather than diving into heavy concepts or structured programs, What The Three Little Pigs Have to Teach Us is the right-sized introduction to the philosophy of continuous improvement. Or how to work smarter. 
  Short story. Big impact.

  The Ethics of Artificial...

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative technology that has evolved from theoretical concepts into practical applications in various sectors. At its core, AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines, enabling them to perform tasks such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving. These machines are programmed to analyze data, recognize patterns, and make decisions with little or no human intervention. While AI is often associated with futuristic visions of robots and autonomous systems, it is already an integral part of our daily lives, from voice assistants like Siri to recommendation algorithms used by platforms like Netflix and Amazon. 
  The history of AI dates back to ancient times, with early concepts of artificial beings found in mythology and philosophical musings. However, the field of AI as we know it began to take shape in the mid-20th century, with the work of pioneers such as Alan Turing, who proposed the idea of a machine that could simulate any human intelligence. In 1956, the term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined at the Dartmouth Conference, marking the formal beginning of AI research. Since then, AI has gone through cycles of optimism, disappointment, and resurgence, fueled by advances in computer science, mathematics, and data availability. 
  Today, AI is classified into different categories, with two primary types being narrow AI and general AI. Narrow AI refers to systems designed to handle specific tasks, such as facial recognition, language translation, or playing chess. These systems excel in their designated tasks but are limited in their ability to perform functions outside of their programming. In contrast, general AI, still a theoretical concept, refers to machines that possess the capability to understand and reason across a wide range of tasks, much like humans. While narrow AI is already commonplace, general AI remains a subject of intense research and debate within the scientific community.
