  In The Opportunity Index, BlackRock managing director and cofounder of the #Talkaboutblack movement, Gavin Lewis, skillfully plots the origins of the racial wealth gap and its impact on the inequalities faced by the Black community today. Weaving a personal and at times moving narrative through some of the most disruptive events of our time, he offers a blueprint for businesses and individuals to understand the risks and opportunities presented by inequality and issues an urgent call to action. 
   
   
   
  The Opportunity Index also presents: a root cause–oriented and solutions-focused exploration of the racial wealth gap and its role in social, health, and opportunity inequality; a perspective that moves beyond the typical workplace discussion to explore the deeper truths about society and the role of capitalism; and the lessons learned from the #BlackLivesMatter, #MeToo, and climate change movements and how these provide case studies for real and lasting change. 
   
   
   
  An eye-opening and insightful treatment of what equity and access mean in the context of international finance, The Opportunity Index will earn a place in the libraries of finance professionals, business leaders, teachers, academics, community leaders, diversity, equity, and inclusion experts, and anyone else with an interest in racial, social, and economic fairness around the world.

  Soldiers and Silver - Mobilizing...

  By the middle of the second century BCE, after nearly one hundred years of warfare, Rome had exerted its control over the entire Mediterranean world, forcing the other great powers of the region—Carthage, Macedonia, Egypt, and the Seleucid empire—to submit militarily and financially. But how, despite its relative poverty and its frequent numerical disadvantage in decisive battles, did Rome prevail? Michael J. Taylor explains this surprising outcome by examining the role that manpower and finances played, providing a comparative study that quantifies the military mobilizations and tax revenues for all five powers. Though Rome was the poorest state, it enjoyed the largest military mobilization, drawing from a pool of citizens, colonists, and allies, while its wealthiest adversaries failed to translate revenues into large or successful armies. Taylor concludes that state-level extraction strategies were decisive in the warfare of the period, as states with high conscription and low taxation raised larger, more successful armies than those that primarily sought to maximize taxation. Comprehensive and detailed, Soldiers and Silver offers a new and sophisticated perspective on the political dynamics and economies of these ancient Mediterranean empires.

  Behavioral Finance - How...

  Every day, millions of trades take place across the world's stock markets. Buy. Sell. Hold. On the surface, these actions look mechanical — numbers moving on a screen. But behind every decision is a human being, carrying a lifetime of experiences, emotions, and biases. And that changes everything. 
  Behavioral finance is the study of how psychology influences financial decisions and choices. It explains why the market can soar to irrational highs… and collapse into sudden panic. It's the science of our impulses, fears, and overconfidence — and how they shape the world of money. 
  You may think you invest with logic. But have you ever held onto a losing stock, hoping it would 'bounce back'? Or chased a rising price because you feared missing out? Those weren't numbers guiding you — those were emotions. 
  This book serves as your guide to seeing the markets from a different perspective. You'll learn why we are drawn to the illusion of control… why we anchor our thinking to the past… and why short-term noise can drown out long-term wisdom. 
  Once you understand these forces, you'll recognize the invisible patterns that drive prices. You'll see that the market isn't just a reflection of the economy — it's a living, breathing record of human behavior. And in that understanding lies your edge. 
  So, if you're ready to step beyond charts and headlines, and into the minds of the people moving the markets, let's begin.

  Evidence suggests that only about 10% of start-ups and 30% of entrepreneurs make it beyond 5 years. Methods for control and leadership in the start-up or early growth stages are wildly different from those needed to successfully manage a complex organization consisting of multiple departments, divisions, product lines, or geographic spread. To succeed, business leaders should be aware of which stage their organization is in, the characteristics of the current stage, and the characteristics of the next stage. This book explores various common patterns of management styles and then offers transition strategies to help managers to succeed in the digital economy. The authors guide leaders to prepare for these transitions by laying the foundations or infrastructure needed to prevent a crisis that inhibits further growth. They also provide leaders with a greater understanding of the growth framework, which will help leaders to manage better the development of their companies.
