Summary

In "Political Economy," William Stanley Jevons presents a pioneering examination of economic theory through the lens of utilitarianism and marginalism. Written in the late 19th century, this work occupies a crucial position within the context of classical economics and the emerging neoclassical paradigm. Jevons employs a clear and systematic literary style, combining rigorous mathematical analysis with accessible prose, making complex concepts understandable for a broader audience. He introduces the notion of utility as central to decision-making processes, which reflects the evolving dialogue on the value of commodities and human behavior in market dynamics. William Stanley Jevons, an influential British economist and logician, laid the groundwork for modern economic thought. His keen interest in the principles of utility and efficient resource allocation can be traced back to his scientific background and involvement in the study of logic. Jevons's commitment to empirical observation and his dissatisfaction with prior economic theories propelled him to advance these ideas, culminating in this seminal text that challenges traditional views on value and exchange. For anyone interested in understanding the foundations of economic theory and its practical implications, Jevons's "Political Economy" is an essential read. It not only serves as an intellectual milestone in the evolution of economics but also encourages readers to contemplate the broader societal impacts of economic decisions. This work is invaluable for students, scholars, and practitioners seeking to deepen their comprehension of economic principles and their relevance in contemporary discourse.

    Tina Corner - Stolz has been driven by one mission for almost two decades: creating such an exquisite Member Experience (MX) for her peer advisory councils (PaCs) that, year after year, members wouldn’t think twice about renewing. And she succeeded. 
 
A veteran of the peer group industry who sold her franchise for the highest multiple ever recorded and has trained and mentored hundreds, Tina cracked the code for MX as well as for how to skillfully moderate PaCs. She’s been teaching other driven entrepreneurs her formula for success through her Peer Advisory Council Academy since 2019, and now she shares her secrets in Your Seat at the Table: How to Create and Run a Peer Advisory Council.

As Tina says, it’s still in the “Wild-West stage.” If you’re going to attempt to navigate this precarious terrain, you’ll need a guide who can help you avoid some of the most common mistakes and missteps. 
 
Your Seat at the Table: How to Create and Run a Peer Advisory Council is a how-to book that combines Tina’s deep knowledge and experience, along with cautionary tales and tales of triumph. And she does it all in an easy-to-read style that demystifies the jargon and presents everything you need to know, do, and decide, step by step, before you sign your first member and all the way through to selling your profitable business or winding it down. 
 
Tina Corner - Stolz will show you why your seat at the table — the moderator’s seat — is key to creating a level of experience for your members that’s incomparable. And she’ll tell you who else and what else you need for your PaC business to be pr profitable. If you’re someone who doesn’t want to reinvent the wheel, this book is for you.
