Sinopse

In "Imperial Germany & the Industrial Revolution," Thorstein Veblen meticulously examines the interplay between economic growth and socio-political structures in late 19th and early 20th century Germany. Employing a distinctive blend of economic analysis and sociological critique, Veblen dissects the impacts of industrialization on the German state and its society. His literary style weaves together historical narrative and theoretical discourse, situating Germany's burgeoning industrial prowess within the broader context of European capitalism and imperial ambitions, thereby illuminating the inherent contradictions of progress and cultural values during a pivotal era. Thorstein Veblen, a pioneering economist and sociologist known for his innovative ideas on conspicuous consumption and social class dynamics, was deeply influenced by the transformations he observed in industrial societies. His critical perspectives were shaped by his experiences in America's own industrial landscape and the social upheavals prompted by rapid technological advancement, which pushed him to explore the specificities of other nation's responses to similar industrial pressures, particularly those of Germany in this seminal work. This book comes highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the complexities of industrialization. Veblen's incisive analyses offer not only a valuable historical account but also provoke thought on the interrelation of economics and society, making it essential reading for those seeking to comprehend the intricacies of modern industrial economies.

    The Soul of the Deal effortlessly teaches unconventional transactional strategies that are radically changing the approach of business buyers and sellers, investors, CEOs, and entrepreneurs. Their origin? Selling encyclopedias door-to-door, following the Grateful Dead for a lifetime, and closing 400+ successful deals. His music-fueled philosophy that people (not spreadsheets) are the epicenter of every business interaction took Marc from Silicon Valley to Shanghai as principal, advisor, or counsel, as well as to the Board of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Tangible takeaways--captured as “Morgenstern’s Maxims” -- punctuate every chapter and are woven into vivid stories as much thriller as business book. This entertaining and accessible book addresses the unchanging human, emotional, and tactical aspects of negotiating; stressing humor, real-time spontaneity and flexibility, empathy, and engaged listening as pathways to expanded negotiating and operating success.
