Summary

New drilling techniques for oil and natural gas are propelling an energy production renaissance in the United States. As the US economy struggles to emerge from the Great Recession, many see the boom as a possible source of economic salvation that could reduce unemployment and revitalize American manufacturing. Until now, however, there has been little objective analysis of the energy boom's economic consequences.In this major study, Trevor Houser and Shashank Mohan fill that gap. They assess the impact of the recent and projected increase in domestic energy production on US GDP, employment growth, manufacturing competitiveness, household expenditures, and international trade balance. Alongside its economic impact, the American energy revolution is raising new environmental and trade policy questions. What are the consequences for the environment and global warming of increased domestic oil and gas production? Should companies be allowed to export the energy they produce or will doing so undermine American manufacturing competitiveness? Houser and Mohan provide independent research and analysis that will help policymakers navigate these issues.

    Modern-day markets do not arise spontaneously or evolve naturally. Rather they are crafted by individuals, firms, and most of all, by governments. Thus "marketcraft" represents a core function of government comparable to statecraft and requires considerable artistry to govern markets effectively. Just as real-world statecraft can be masterful or muddled, so it is with marketcraft. 
    In Marketcraft, Steven Vogel builds his argument upon the recognition that all markets are crafted then systematically explores the implications for analysis and policy. In modern societies, there is no such thing as a free market. Markets are institutions, and contemporary markets are all heavily regulated. The "free market revolution" that began in the 1980s did not see a deregulation of markets, but rather a re-regulation. Vogel looks at a wide range of policy issues to support this concept, focusing in particular on the U.S. and Japan. He examines how the U.S., the "freest" market economy, is actually among the most heavily regulated advanced economies, while Japan's effort to liberalize its economy counterintuitively expanded the government's role in practice.

    Social Nation describes how businesses can engage customers,  employees, suppliers, and shareholders in a mutually beneficial  alliance by creating a well-designed and managed portfolio of  social media initiatives. This portfolio can deliver dramatic  results, spurring innovation, improving product design, raising  employee productivity, lifting retention rates for all  stakeholders, and boosting sales and profitability.   Aside from rewards, there are risks to be considered. This book  gives readers practical guidance, for example warning against the  temptation to engage in social media as a quick-fix marketing or  public-relations gimmick.   Distilling the cumulative experience of hundreds of  professionals and customers, the book offers 100 concise,  experience-based prescriptions to help readers consider how they  can best use social media to realize their goals. Compelling case  histories and anecdotes illuminate and entertain.  Topics include:    Create solid platforms: build a seamless, integrated  community platform. The unconnected piecemeal approach can create a  communications problem.  Get registration right: convince community members to  register and provide the personal information you need--without  annoying them.  Take the measure of Twitter: members of Twitter are not  the captive old-media audiences of television and radio; they have  to be wooed. Humanize your business.  Moderate, dont censor: an online community  reflects on its sponsors public image. Monitor the content  it shares without censoring freedom and unpredictability.

    “Gives you the key to unlocking your full potential for greater success, achievement, and personal power in every area of your life.” —Brian Tracy, New York Times-bestselling author of Eat That Frog!   All too often, the challenges we face seem overwhelming. Where do we start? What if we fail? But bestselling author John Izzo argues that almost every problem, from personal difficulties and business challenges to social issues, can be solved if all of us look to ourselves to create change rather than looking to others. And with the research to prove it, Izzo shows that by seeing ourselves as the locus of control rather than the victims of change, we are happier, less stressed, and more powerful.   Izzo shows how taking responsibility changes our careers, our companies, our lives, and our communities. This book is filled with stories that illustrate the incredible power of stepping up: a homeless man who started a recycling revolution, a middle-aged Italian shopkeeper who fought back against the Mafia, two teenagers who ignited an antibullying movement, an executive who turned a dying division into a profit center, and a few employees who created a multibillion-dollar product for Starbucks, and many more. This second edition includes a new chapter on the Stepping Up Continuum, a model that looks at six ways to know if you are stepping up or stepping back, as well as fresh stories and a self-assessment tool for helping leaders create a culture for stepping up in their organizations. We have the power within ourselves to move mountains—we just have to decide that we are the ones to do it.  “Insightful and inspired!” —Marshall Goldsmith, #1 New York Times-bestselling author
