Thorstein Veblen

Beschreibung

The Collected Works of Thorstein Veblen: Business Theories, Economic Articles & Essays is a comprehensive collection of the influential writings of Thorstein Veblen, a renowned economist and social theorist. Veblen's work explores the dynamics of capitalism, the role of economic institutions in society, and the concept of conspicuous consumption. His writing style is highly analytical, with a focus on critiquing the relationship between business practices and societal norms. In this compilation, readers will find a rich blend of economic theory and social commentary, reflecting Veblen's unique perspective on the complexities of modern capitalism. Thorstein Veblen, a prominent figure in the Progressive Era, was influenced by his background in economics and sociology. His critical examination of industrial society and the behavior of the leisure class paved the way for modern economic thought. Veblen's writings continue to be studied and debated by scholars across various disciplines. I highly recommend The Collected Works of Thorstein Veblen to readers interested in economic theory, social critique, and the intersection of business and culture. Veblen's insights are as relevant today as they were when he first penned them, making this collection an essential addition to any scholar's library.

The Lucky Laundry

Nathan Lynch

How the Aussie economy got hooked on the world's dirtiest cash.

Longlisted for a 2022 Walkley Award and earning the author the 2022 Financial Crime Fighter Award.
In today's ruthless world of organised crime, the best criminals aren't foolish enough to steal money out of banks. They wear tailored suits, carry briefcases, and discreetly slip money into banks.
Bigwigs, oligarchs and crime syndicates running drugs, trafficking guns and people, arming terrorists and subverting government controls are desperate to put a legitimate face on their wealth. Washing dirty money, moving it around the globe, making it look legitimate is where the action is for both criminals and the authorities chasing them.
Australia is awash with dirty money. It flows through our economy, keeps banks running, powers big business, puts coffee on restaurant tables, seeps into clubs, pubs, sport, the art world and anywhere that value is moved. It infiltrates real estate, costs billions in policing, and takes a terrible toll on Australian lives. What law enforcement agencies might lack in legislation and political will they make up for with sheer resourcefulness. When they can't get at the masterminds and bigwigs, they have honed tactics that intercept the flow of illicit cash and aim to drive a wedge between crooks and their ill-gotten wealth.
In The Lucky Laundry, financial crime expert Nathan Lynch delves deep inside this hidden world to explain how dark money has infected the lives of ordinary people - and tainted Australian democracy. He opens the curtain on the hidden world of financial intelligence, where crooks and spooks play a cat-and-mouse game inside the world's black money markets.
Enter the realm of the agents and undercover operatives who defend our democracy against the corrosive force of billions of dirty dollars.

Minding the Wealth Gap - Our...

Cliff Goins IV

The US racial wealth gap is large, and it's compounding. It's time to close it. Minding the Wealth Gap shines a light on people doing this important work and explores how you can get involved too. 
  
Generations of public and private practices have left Black households $15 trillion and 400 years behind white households. Engaging storytelling backed by data, Minding the Wealth Gap highlights the wide-ranging impact of this lack of wealth parity. It explores the intricate connections between issues such as housing disparities, employment opportunities, education, investment barriers, social networks, and over-policing, all of which contribute to the staggering wealth gap between Black and white households. 
  
Investment professional Cliff Goins IV shines a spotlight on nine Black entrepreneurs and executives who are actively working to bridge this chasm: 
  
• Kedra Newsom Reeves is a highly accomplished management consultant by day, serving as a partner at the Boston Consulting Group, where she drives holistic solutions to wealth creation. 
• Mark Wilson became an accidental entrepreneur, then used his platform to empower economic mobility for under-resourced team members. 
• C-suite executive Selena Cuffe is a world traveler and a talented business leader. She is a poster child for the power of cultivating diverse talent. 
• Lee Henderson leveraged his role as partner at Ernst & Young LLP to help launch a network of resources to accelerate the growth of underserved ethnic minority-owned businesses. 
• Shundrawn Thomas champions underdogs and unleashes access to financial and human capital as CEO of The Copia Group, a private investment firm. 
• Tony Wilkins, an advisor for Google for Startups, is an entrepreneur whisperer, imparting wisdom and money that they need to flourish. 
• Corporate lawyer turned entrepreneur George Fatheree III advocates for real estate justice and turbocharges home and land ownership. 
• Small business banker Steve Hall locates the diamonds in the rough, putting capital to work in overlooked communities. 
• Serial entrepreneur and sage Robert Blackwell Jr. is compelling large organizations to "just do business" and free the enterprises. 
  
These "gap closers" have much to teach us, having pioneered initiatives such as empowering economic mobility, advocating for homeownership, and championing economic parity. Minding the Wealth Gap is both a powerful catalyst and a call to arms, urging America's entrepreneurs, executives, government officials, and other leaders to join these efforts and take meaningful steps toward a more equitable future for all.
