Lombard Street - A Description...

Walter Bagehot

Financial observer and journalist Walter Bagehot sheds light on the world of banking in his influential tract Written in response to a nineteenth-century banking crisis in England, Walter Bagehot’s influential treatise was one of the first to clearly explain complex financial systems like international banking, currency, and corporate finance in clear and easy-to-understand language. Credit, Bagehot suggests, is based primarily on trust. When the banks lose the public’s trust, the entire system can collapse.   In Lombard Street, Bagehot—who was the editor in chief of the Economist—sets forth a series of proposals for the strengthening and survival of struggling financial institutions, such as allowing irresponsible banks to collapse and creating strong central banks to combat inflation. His insights are as relevant in today’s economic climate as they were when the book was first published in 1873.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Life Changing Secrets from the 3...

Joseph Murphy, Hill Napoleon,...

This audiobook is about the way the world really works. Certain unseen principles control the translation of our desires to reality. These lie in the power of your mind. They are laid out here clearly and straightforwardly: Follow the process; success will be yours. How achievement actually occurs, and a formula for it that puts success within reach of the average person, were the focal points of Napoleon Hill's books. Years of research studying the world's major religions convinced Dr. Joseph Murphy that some great power lay behind them all. One of the core ideas of Dale Carnegie's books was that it is possible to change other people's behavior by changing one's own reaction to them. ©2012 JMW Group, Inc (P)2016 Gildan Media LLC

The Cleveland Clinic Way -...

Toby Cosgrove

This is the future. Join the revolution. Transform your organization the Cleveland Clinic way.

"One of the best healthcare systems in the world."

President Barack Obama

American healthcare is in crisis. It doesn't have to be.The Cleveland Clinic Way is a blueprint for fixing what's wrong with healthcare-and is a must-read for every leader seeking to transform his or her organization.

There's a revolution going on right now. On the frontiers of medicine, some doctors have developed an approach for treating people that is more effective, more humane, and more affordable. It's an approach to healthcare that has captured the attention of the media and business elite--and the President of the United States.

It's all happening at Cleveland Clinic, one of the most innovative, forward-looking medical institutions in the nation.

In this groundbreaking book, the man who leads this global organization, Toby Cosgrove, MD, reveals how the Clinic works so well and argues persuasively for why it should be the model for the nation. He details how Cleveland Clinic focuses on the eight key trends that are shaping the future of medicine. Readers will learn:

Why group practices provide not only better--but cheaper--care

Why collaborative medicine is more effective

How big data can be harnessed to improve the quality of care and lower costs

How cooperative practices can be the wellspring of innovation

Why empathy is crucial to better patient outcomes

Why wellness of both mind and body depends on healthcare, not sickcare

How care is best provided in different settings for greater comfort and value

How tailor-made care treats a person instead of a disease

At its core is Cleveland Clinic's emphasis on patient care and patient experience.

A refreshingly positive and practical vision of healthcare, The Cleveland Clinic Way is essential reading for healthcare and business executives, medical professionals, industry analysts, and policymakers. It gives leaders lessons they can apply to their own organizations to achieve results and empowers average Americans to make more informed healthcare decisions.
