Title: The Locust and the Bee Subtitle: Predators and Creators in Capitalism's Future Author: Geoff Mulgan Narrator: Mark Ashby Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 05-10-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: The recent economic crisis was a dramatic reminder that capitalism can both produce and destroy. It's a system that by its very nature encourages predators and creators, locusts and bees. But, as Geoff Mulgan argues in this compelling, imaginative, and important book, the economic crisis also presents a historic opportunity to choose a radically different future for capitalism, one that maximizes its creative power and minimizes its destructive force. In an engaging and wide-ranging argument, Mulgan digs into the history of capitalism across the world to show its animating ideas, its utopias and dystopias, as well as its contradictions and possibilities. Drawing on a subtle framework for understanding systemic change, he shows how new political settlements reshaped capitalism in the past and are likely to do so in the future. By reconnecting value to real-life ideas of growth, he argues, efficiency and entrepreneurship can be harnessed to promote better lives and relationships rather than just a growth in the quantity of material consumption. Healthcare, education, and green industries are already becoming dominant sectors in the wealthier economies, and the fields of social innovation, enterprise, and investment are rapidly moving into the mainstream--all indicators of how capital could be made more of a servant and less a master. This is a book for anyone who wonders where capitalism might be heading next--and who wants to help make sure that its future avoids the mistakes of the past. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Geoff Mulgan) Fri, 10 May 2013 10:42:46 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Locust-and-the-Bee-Audiobook/B00CJJB8N8 thebookvoice.com 11:32:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A work of sustained brilliance This author compactly, eloquently, I will say at moments, lyrically describes capitalism, its facets, its dangers, its meanings and effects, its penetration into our lives and the meaning we assign to things and live by, its recent developments and its prospects, worldwide and throughout history. In terms of meaningfulness, alongside clarity of explanation and reach of imagination, such that a non-technician can get a great harvest of understanding in a minimal investment of time and effort (and that's a very capitalism-influenced way of describing it), I would rank this author and book in the second rank, all time (the first rank being occupied exclusively by Adam Smith, the second rank including others, many of whom are quoted and acknowledged in this book, such as Schumpeter and Weber). He might be as biased as any human is, generically, but he is in no sense "on a side," or "selling a view," in some partisan way. Here is an amazing synthesis of so much of economics and culture, often held up in lights I had not imagined. In describing these things of great complexity, this author dances through the task. This hasn't been like reading a book, it has been like continuously having my mind opened, continuously being shown new vistas and horizons on things I thought familiar. It is like getting a tour of my own society conducted by some alien from another whole system that understands it better than I do. If this guy gives a class, writes a book or even puts out a rap album, sign me up. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Privatization-of-Roads-and-Highways-Audiobook/B0167IT18K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Privatization of Roads and Highways Subtitle: Human and Economic Factors Author: Walter Block Narrator: Jim Vann Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 10-06-15 Publisher: Ludwig von Mises Institute Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: The Mises Institute is pleased to introduce Walter Block's remarkable new treatise on private roads that'll cause you to rethink the whole of the way modern transportation networks operate. It's bold, innovative, radical, and compelling and shows how free-market economic theory is the clarifying lens through which to see the failures of the state and see the alternative that's consistent with human liberty. He shows that even the worst off-the-cuff scenario of life under private ownership of roads would be fantastic by comparison to the existing reality of government ownership of roads, which is awful in ways we don't entirely realize until Block fully explains them (think: highway deaths). But that's only the beginning of what Professor Block has done. He has made a lengthy, detailed, and positive case that the privatization of roads would be socially optimal in every way. It would save lives, curtail pollution, save us (as individuals!) money, save us massive time, introduce accountability, and make transportation a pleasure instead of a huge pain in the neck. Because this is the first-ever complete book on this topic, the length and detail are absolutely necessary. He shows that this isn't some libertarian pipe dream but the most practical application of free-market logic. Block is dealing with something that confronts us every day. And in so doing, he illustrates the power of economic theory to take an existing set of facts and help see them in a completely different way. What's also nice is that the prose has great passion about it, despite its scholarly detail. Block loves answering the objections (aren't roads public goods? Aren't roads too expensive to build privately?) and making the case, fully aware that he has to overcome a deep and persistent bias in favor of public ownership. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Walter Block) Tue, 06 Oct 2015 00:20:16 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Privatization-of-Roads-and-Highways-Audiobook/B0167IT18K thebookvoice.com 12:11:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great book but repetitive and poorly edited The points made in this book are great, but the audio editing is a disaster. Very well read editing could be better This book is a great resource for ideas that can be used to further an argument for free markets. The narration is very high quality with an easy to listen to voice. My only issue is the six to ten errors retakes left in the recording. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Investing-with-Impact-Audiobook/B00XRQ8X9E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Investing with Impact Subtitle: Why Finance is a Force for Good Author: Jeremy Balkin Narrator: Walter Dixon Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 05-18-15 Publisher: Bibliomotion, Inc Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Investing with Impact: Why Finance Is a Force for Good outlines the roadmap to reinvigorate a skeptical public and demoralized financial services industry by making the case that contrary to popular misconception, finance is not the cause of the world's problems, in fact, it can provide the solution. Author Jeremy Balkin presents the case that the finance industry can improve the state of the world by positively influencing the allocation of capital. The book explains the methodology of Balkin's 6E Paradigm, opening the toolbox to this revolutionary framework for the first time. He helps listeners assess investing through a different lens. In so doing, Balkin expands the impact investment universe, enabling mainstream capital to flow where opportunities generate positive investment returns and have demonstrable social impact. Described by the Huffington Post as the "Anti-Wolf of Wall Street," Balkin is challenging the status quo on Wall Street by leading the intellectual debate embracing the $1 trillion frontier impact investment market opportunity. The book demonstrates conclusively that, if we can change the culture in finance, we can change the world for the better. Critic Reviews: "Leadership is much less about how to do, and much more about how to be. Jeremy Balkin's Investing with Impact makes a powerful case for ethical leadership in finance."

(Frances Hesselbein, CEO, The Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute; recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom) Members Reviews: Baffled by the yawning chasm between the haves, the have-nots and the have-yachts? Ok another book about finance and the collapse of Lehman Brothers. But truthfully I enjoyed Mr Balkin's approach to the subject matter. Angry that the world is so unfair? Infuriated by fat-cat capitalists and billion-bonus bankers? Baffled by the yawning chasm between the haves, the have-nots and the have-yachts? Mr Balkin argues in a well referenced way that money can do good for the world on the basis of freedom and moral right. It is the next generation that can make it happen better. Whilst investing can never be a smooth ride. Financial history afterall is a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs, bubbles and bursts, manias and panics, shocks and crashes. It a uplifting way Mr Balkin puts forward "It is time for people to regain control of their economic destiny. Capitalism is a metaphor for freedom and is the greatest force for properity and opportunity the world has ever known." Amen LOL Awesome read. Book was on the recommendation list from Tai Lopez Accelarator Program. A must read for any person between 30 to 40 years old. Balkin give you documented facts in why the economy changed since 2008 headaches. Balkin give us a timely reminder why the private sector is best placed to generate sustainable economic prosperity. He goes into how Baby Boomers and Millennials differ on ideals in life and finances. Wake up folks things are not getting any easier take you personal finances seriously. The Government can not save you. Awesome read. he shows how an often vilified industry can actually be a force for global good. Investing with Impact is a game changer! Balkin presents a framework for using capital allocation to produce returns while simultaneously improving society. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Rothbard-Reader-Audiobook/B01FIB3NZ4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Rothbard Reader Author: Murray Rothbard Narrator: Jim Vann Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 05-13-16 Publisher: Ludwig von Mises Institute Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 29 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Few economists manage to produce a body of work that boasts a serious following 20 years after their deaths. Murray N. Rothbard is a rare exception. More than two decades since his passing, his influence lives on, both in the work of a new generation of social scientists, and among a growing number of the general public. One reason for Rothbard's continuing popularity is his ability to reach across disciplines, and to connect them: unlike many contemporary economists, who specialize in increasingly narrow fields within the science, Rothbard's research agenda was expansive and interdisciplinary, covering most of the social sciences and humanities. Some listeners of this book will already be familiar with Rothbard's major works, such as his path-breaking treatise on economics, Man, Economy, and State. Yet Rothbard also produced hundreds of shorter works for both academic and popular audiences. Unfortunately, many lack the time to explore his writings; what's more, his oeuvre is so enormous it is often difficult to know where to begin. This book aims to solve these problems by providing a window into Rothbard's achievements in the social sciences, humanities, and beyond. It includes introductory, intermediate, and advanced material, to ensure the book can be enjoyed by listeners of all levels of understanding and familiarity with Rothbard's work. Therefore although it is intended primarily for newcomers, veteran listeners will also find much to discover or re-discover in these minutes. The individual articles in this collection can be heard in any order; with that in mind, we propose two ways to explore them. Those new to Rothbard's writing may want to begin with the shorter, more accessible chapters that interest them most, before continuing on to more difficult topics. However, we have intentionally arranged the articles and sections so that listeners who prefer a systematic discussion. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Murray Rothbard) Fri, 13 May 2016 08:33:23 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Rothbard-Reader-Audiobook/B01FIB3NZ4 thebookvoice.com 11:44:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Introduction to libertarianism This book can serve as a great introduction to libertarianism and capitalism/anarchism. It was a much easier language then ordinary scholarly economists write. Various topics are touched upon: History, politics, individualism, economics etc. What an inspiration and source for further reading! Loved this but... I loved hearing about the other sides of Rothbard, but there are several odd moments in the reading itself. Some errors were not edited out, so belches and other things are on the recording. Poor editing Hearing the voice belch whilst reading and reread sections after errors is not what I expect from a well edited audiobook.

However, it is true that economists speak a different language, in the sense that we often use terms that are not common in everyday conversation. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Radically-Simple-Accounting-Audiobook/B005NJBWJ6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If you are a small business owner you "must" listen to this book. I am in sales and marketing and I absolutely hate accounting until I listened to this book. It's simple, straight forward, and fun to listen to the author explain accounting. I wish this book was available two years ago. Finally, clarity in plain English. Madeline brings clarity to general accounting practices. She takes the time not only to explain in very understandable terms how it's done, but why do it that way. Madeline will also give the historical origins which helped me to align my thinking so I became more comfortable with why, "that's just the way it's done". Wish I had received this information years ago. Now my books and their reports are cleaner and I understand much more. Thank you for this book!! If you could sum up Radically Simple Accounting in three words, what would they be? Informative, Comprehensive, and Entertaining What was one of the most memorable moments of Radically Simple Accounting? I purchased this audio book through Audible and I LOVE It. Ive been studying bookkeeping and accounting for the past few years on my own, and finally decided to attend classes at our local community college. Im a single mom and didnt know how I was going to do it, but somehow its working out and is filling in a lot of the holes that were in my learning. Every day on my way to work, I listen to this audio book and I find it so inspiring and comforting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Future-of-Black-Business-in-America-Stay-In-or-Cash-In-Audiobook/B003EGIFZO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Author: Mitch Joel Narrator: Mitch Joel Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 05-21-13 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 96 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: The DNA of business has changed. Forever. You can blame technology, smartphones, social media, online shopping and everything else, but nothing changes this reality: we are in a moment of business purgatory. So, what are you going to do about it? Mitch Joel, one of the world's leading experts in new media, warns that the time has come to CTRL ALT DELETE. To reboot and to start re-building your business model. If you don't, Joel warns, not only will your company begin to slide backwards, but you may find yourself unemployable within five years. That's a very strong warning, but in his new audiobook, CTRL ALT DELETE, Joel explains the convergence of five key movements that have changed business forever. The movements have already taken place, but few businesses have acted on them. He outlines what you need to know to adapt right now. He also points to the seven triggers that will help you take advantage of these game-changing factors to keep you employable as this new world of business unfolds. Along the way, Joel introduces his novel concept of "squiggle" which explains how you can learn to adapt your personal approach to your career, as new technology becomes the norm. In short, this is not an audiobook about "change management" but rather an audiobook about "changing both you AND your business model." bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Mitch Joel) Tue, 21 May 2013 01:12:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Ctrl-Alt-Delete-Audiobook/B00CF03UXW thebookvoice.com 07:32:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Cemented my opinion about tech I've always agreed that the future is a connected one, and this guy has convinced me even more. He's given me even more reason to continue down the path I'm on in terms of online marketing. He needs a bit of coaching on the narration. He has a habit of going down in pitch consistently on the end of sentences, even though it might not be appropriate for the thought. I usually love when books are narrated by the author because I can catch the author's excitement for the subject. On this one, however, I think he's trying too hard to be good on the narration by leaving out his speaking style. I wouldn't mind a little bit more of speaking and less reading. That said, I think it's a great book, especially for anyone who doubts even a little bit that the internet is here to stay. Great for company owners and managers who are resisting getting more involved in new media. Great idea - but big disappointment Any additional comments? This book addresses an important question. My wife and I are both in industries that are being disrupted, so we listened to it together on a road trip and had hoped to get some ideas of how we might address the disruptions. However, we found the book very shallow. The book seemed like a stream of cliches (like pealing the onion, leaning into it, etc.) and extremely poor metaphors (like purgatory and having sex with your data). Take away these weak literary devices and you are left with a bunch of shallow statements - nothing novel. The author spends a lot of time talking about being connected. My recommendation would be that he disconnect for a while and think deeply about the content. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Dark-Side-of-Amazon-FBA-Audiobook/B075KN2R1T Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Power Brokers Subtitle: The Struggle to Shape and Control the Electric Power Industry Author: Jeremiah D. Lambert Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 09-04-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: For more than a century, the interplay between private, investor-owned electric utilities and government regulators has shaped the electric power industry in the United States. Provision of an essential service to largely dependent consumers invited government oversight and ever more sophisticated market intervention. The industry has sought to manage, coopt, and profit from government regulation. In The Power Brokers, Jeremiah Lambert maps this complex interaction from the late 19th century to the present day. Lambert's narrative focuses on seven important industry players: Samuel Insull, the principal industry architect and prime mover; David Lilienthal, chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), who waged a desperate battle for market share; Don Hodel, who presided over the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) in its failed attempt to launch a multiplant nuclear power program; Paul Joskow, the MIT economics professor who foresaw a restructured and competitive electric power industry; Enron's Ken Lay, master of political influence and market rigging; Amory Lovins, a pioneer proponent of sustainable power; and Jim Rogers, head of Duke Energy, a giant coal-fired utility threatened by decarbonization. Lambert tells how Insull built an empire in a regulatory vacuum and how the government entered the electricity marketplace by making cheap hydropower available through the TVA. He describes the failed overreach of the BPA, the rise of competitive electricity markets, Enron's market manipulation, Lovins' radical vision of a decentralized industry powered by renewables, and Rogers' remarkable effort to influence cap-and-trade legislation. Lambert shows how the power industry has sought to use regulatory change to preserve or secure market dominance and how rogue players have gamed imperfectly restructured electricity markets. Integrating regulation and competition in this industry has proven a difficult experiment. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Jeremiah D.

Members Reviews: Interesting narrative of a complex industry Would you consider the audio edition of The Power Brokers to be better than the print version? Narration felt a bit folksly given the serious, non-fiction subject matter. I thought the forced accents were a bit much. Also, while I'm sure it's clear in the visual presentation, there are several sections (i.e. the intro chapter) where the narrative structure is unclear. What other book might you compare The Power Brokers to and why? Some of the early chapters share some overlap with The Age of Edison, while some others overlap with The Quest. I have not read anything else with this type of longitudinal review of the electric industry. What aspect of Joe Barretts performance would you have changed? I am not sure the narrator was the best choice for this book. In particular, I would not have recommended assuming the presumed accents of the individuals quoted from in the book. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Some of the early chapters, particularly those discussing struggles versus public and private utilities, felt particularly subjective. There was much focus on the political and legal tensions of the era with relatively little discussion of the technical aspects of the industry, the societal impacts of electrification, or many other facets which I believe would have been interesting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Economic-Warfare-Secrets-of-Wealth-Creation-in-the-Age-of-Welfare-Politics-Audiobook/B008UCYH0E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Economic Warfare: Secrets of Wealth Creation in the Age of Welfare Politics Author: Ziad K. Abdelnour, Wesley A. Whittaker Narrator: Dennis Holland Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 08-08-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: New insights for investors and business people looking to create wealth in the turbulent post-crisis world... In a no holds barred expose of the 2008 financial meltdown from the inside, Ziad K. Abdelnour argues that the political and financial elites have done nothing to fix the structural problems and instead have worsened the situation. By creating more market bubbles, they are actually waging a war on the most productive members of society. For investors, business people, and entrepreneurs that need to navigate the troubled geopolitical waters of the post-crisis world, Abdelnour offers several solutions, including looking at the world anew and understanding that the federal government's primary objective is to promote the creation of an environment conducive to the creation of wealth not job creation, not bailouts, not subsidies, not expansion of the federal bureaucracy, and not providing lifetime support to those who choose not to take advantage of the innumerable opportunities that exist in this nation for them to create a better, more productive life for themselves. The author is President and CEO of Blackhawk Partners, Inc., a private family office that has two major lines of business, private equity investments and advisory services, and physical commodities trading Compelling and persuasive, Economic Warfare reveals that wealth can be created in the new, post-crisis world, but investors need to understand that the rules of the game have changed. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Ziad K.

Members Reviews: Reads like a Fox News opinion segment For a book on such a serious topic with potential with a lot of substance, I was disappointed by how full of invective and ad hominem attacks this book contained. He has some good points throughout the book but his approach to arguing his points undermines the book and will turn off anyone not already convinced of his point of view. this should be mandatory reading in school today. well narrated, educational and clearly written. I pray that the next generation of leaders in this country learn the lessons of this book. Excellent review of US/World economic history Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes... extremely informative and eye-opening What was one of the most memorable moments of Economic Warfare: Secrets of Wealth Creation in the Age of Welfare Politics?

Members Reviews: On Point As a new manager with aspirations of upward mobility, I found this book to be both enlightening and encouraging. I am a realist at heart and this book points out the areas that I should be looking at to ensure my business succeeds over the long term. I think its a good read. Clarity that redefines your vision I was surprisingly pleased with this book. It was very clearly written with a clear set of examples of companies that did and didn't deal with reality. My management team has now listened to the book and we are revising our company objectives as a result There were realities that we were not bringing to the surface that this book has shed light on. It has help solidified our management team, redefined how we set goals, and made our analysis of problems much clearer. Well worth the time to read/listen to. Changed my thinking THis book changed the way I thought about my business. It is a little repetitive and you really need some visuals as it talks about a business process and plan and a schematic would have helped understanding and subsequent implementation. Otherwise was worth listenting to. Bossidy and Charan do it again This book gets right to it. Businesses often fail because they fail to look at reality, either because they do not use enough resources to determine their outside realities, or they cannot confront their internal realities, or both.

Title: Growing Up Fast Subtitle: How New Agile Practices Can Move Marketing and Innovation past the Old Business Stalemates Author: Jascha Kaykas-Wolff, Kevin Fann Narrator: Caitlin Graham Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 12-03-14 Publisher: Jascha Kaykas-Wolff Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Growing Up Fast is a practical audiobook about how to implement an agile process in modern business to create the necessary collaboration between marketing and innovation for business success. The first half of the audiobook covers the philosophical underpinnings of complementary opposites in nature, human interaction, and the workplace. It surveys business management over the last 100 years and shows how we've come to the "Agile Age", which is not about big ideas Mad Men-style, but lots of little ideas to test and try. The second half of the audiobook discusses the mindsets and tools required for success in agile work, and examples are given throughout the text in the form of case studies on companies like Netflix, 3M, Microsoft, Domino's Pizza, and Dell Computer. The introduction and conclusion of the audiobook set up the metaphor of the audiobook's title, to personify the current impasse between big regulation government and total free market capitalism. Agile is posed as a third option between the Mom and Dad's battle between over-planning and wild speculation, concern for the future and obsession with "what worked" in the past - as both occupy our resources without agile process or priorities for the innovations we need going forward in society. Agile is portrayed as an inquisitive, experimental, brilliant child who still lives above the garage at her parents' house - and it's time for her to move out. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Jascha Kaykas-Wolff) Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:13:53 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Growing-Up-Fast-Audiobook/B00QHBRY64 thebookvoice.com 02:32:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

From Paul Mason, the award-winning Channel 4 presenter, PostCapitalism is a guide to our era of seismic economic change and how we can build a more equal society. Over the past two centuries or so, capitalism has undergone continual change - economic cycles that lurch from boom to bust - and has always emerged transformed and strengthened. Surveying this turbulent history, Paul Mason wonders whether today we are on the brink of a change so big, so profound, that this time capitalism itself, the immensely complex system by which entire societies function, has reached its limits and is changing into something wholly new. At the heart of this change is information technology: a revolution that, as Mason shows, has the potential to reshape utterly our familiar notions of work, production and value and to destroy an economy based on markets and private ownership; in fact, he contends, it is already doing so.

Members Reviews: Typical socialists not minding the quality Interesting thesis that is well needed for the modern leftists, and quite a healthy read even for a "neoliberal" as myself (tired of being clumped up with neocons as usual). The problem is that the narrator has frustratingly many breaks where he just quits mid sentence and starts over again. This is the shit you get when you just leave work when it's not done because your work day is over. Lots of food for thought, shame about the editing Mason's overall premise is that capitalism is in crisis and is now in a position where it has to evolve into something new, due to the rise of automation and the sharing economy. He argues that capitalism is inherently unstable, especially in a time of abundance driven by the increasing importance of infinitely copyable information goods in the economy. He spends a long time (perhaps too long) seeking to understand the current situation by looking back at the 200 year history of capitalism, and its critics, particularly Marx. He also spends a good chunk of the book discussing the labour theory of value, and how it relates to an economy where less and less work is done by humans. He finally moves on to outlining a programme for the future, including positing the introduction of a universal basic income to ease the transition from capitalism to postcapitalism. All in all, a very interesting listen. It's easy to find things to agree with and to disagree with in this book but Mason's enthusiasm and style had me coming back for more. I wish he'd spent a bit more time on the future, and bit less time on the past; every time he seemed about to start talking about the future he seemed to get distracted by putting it in its place the historical context of the Left. Mason's narration is very good, but a minor niggle that spoiled an otherwise enjoyable listen is that the final product is really badly edited; there are lots of places where the narrator retakes a line that are left in the final audiobook. A fascinating perspective on economic history... The historical aspect of this book with especially its critique of Marx and the direction Soviet Russia took was very interesting; some new stuff learned. In this regard it was quite a balanced book. As for a vision of the future it seemed somewhat naive and hopeful. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Sustainable-Urban-Supply-Chain-Management-Audiobook/B00SRYC0JK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Broke, USA Subtitle: From Pawnshops to Poverty, Inc. - How the Working Poor Became Big Business Author: Gary Rivlin Narrator: Scott Sowers Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 08-24-10 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 68 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: For most people, the Great Crash of 2008 has meant troubling times. Not so for those in the flourishing poverty industry, for whom the economic woes spell an opportunity to expand and grow. These mercenary entrepreneurs have taken advantage of an era of deregulation to devise high-priced products to sell to the credit-hungry working poor, including the instant tax refund and the payday loan. In the process they've created an industry larger than the casino business and have proved that pawnbrokers and check cashers, if they dream big enough, can grow very rich off those with thin wallets. Broke, USA is Gary Rivlin's riveting report from the economic fringes. From the annual meeting of the national check cashers association in Las Vegas to a tour of the foreclosure-riddled neighborhoods of Dayton, Ohio, here is a subprime Fast Food Nation featuring an unforgettable cast of characters and memorable scenes. Rivlin profiles players like a former small-town Tennessee debt collector whose business offering cash advances to the working poor has earned him a net worth in the hundreds of millions, and legendary Wall Street dealmaker Sandy Weill, who rode a subprime loan business into control of the nation's largest bank. Rivlin parallels their stories with the tale of those committed souls fighting back against the major corporations, chain franchises, and newly hatched enterprises that fleece the country's hardworking waitresses, warehouse workers, and mall clerks. Timely, shocking, and powerful, Broke, USA offers a much-needed look at why our country is in a financial mess and gives a voice to the millions of ordinary Americans left devastated in the wake of the economic collapse. Critic Reviews: "A timely, important, and deeply disturbing look at the cycle of debt of the nation's most vulnerable." (Publishers Weekly) "This is a powerful analysis, detailing how the financial sector has come to its current state of crisis and including personal stories of some among the millions of working Americans who have been exploited along the way."

(Booklist) Members Reviews: A Good Read This book is about all the business that were built around payday loans, pawn shop loans, credit cards, bounced check fees, subprime mortgages and instant tax refunds. The author interviews numerous business owners and borrowers to get insights into how prevalent, lucrative and damaging these businesses are. Although written to be a book of what-not-to-do it may well become a guide for those who want to make big money quickly. From the interviews it was readily apparent the market demand and margins were through the roof and a number of the now millionaires were average Joes who hung out a shingle, plowed their earning into opening more stores and made a fortune. A good part of the book revolves around a few key figures that have been fighting the industry and the small inroads they have made against behemoth money makers that have been purchased by large multi-national banks or had successful IPOs. Sadly I was a part of this Most of this has happened to me, and I was a part of the stuff. I was a business partner and VP for Tobie Mckenzie during this time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Common-Sense-Business-Audiobook/B075FX9YCC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Common sense and prudence have long been among the guiding tenets of society, but in today's economy they have been completely abandoned in the interest of blindly maximizing profits. Common-Sense Business shows that this current economic model is both detrimental and unsustainable, and that we must transform the global economy along the lines of common sense toward the common good. Ted Malloch, a thought leader and policy influencer in global economic strategy, and Whitney MacMillan, the former chairman and CEO of the world's largest private corporation, draw on recent research, history's greatest minds, and their own successes to explain that ethically driven business is both a moral and financial necessity. Inspired by Thomas Paine's Common Sense, this work explains to listeners in all walks of life that ethically driven business will lead to better long-term profits, larger customer bases and more positive customer relations, and a holistically improved business.

Great overall! Very good introduction. Would you consider the audio edition of Blockchain to be better than the print version? The audio version as well as print were amazing... If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? N/A Any additional comments? This is a tremendous introduction to Blockchain Cryptocurrency . If you are not technically minded, it's as good as you could possibly hope for. A good introduction into the world of blockchain. Good overview!!! Good introduction. Pro and cons are mentioned as well as some basic technical information. Good overview to start with. Good introduction in the bockchaintechnology Great Book!!! Easy to follow!! Would you consider the audio edition of Blockchain to be better than the print version? I loved both the version both were Good to me.. What other book might you compare Blockchain to and why? nothing to be compared.. Which character as performed by Michael Hatak was your favorite? amazing performance really cool and good explanation.. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? i think i heard it by 3-4 sittings.. Any additional comments? Well written easy to understand guide to the blockchain. Enhanced my understanding significantly. The technical section was particularly well explained. Well informed... Very well written and researched book. The author found a good balance between monetary concepts and the technical aspects of the new currency. I started by knowing very little about Blockchain and can claim that I am better informed. There is a good progression in the book building on concepts explained previously, For a technical book, this can be quite challenging. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Great-Disruption-Audiobook/B006P2W4XS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Library Journal) Members Reviews: Convincing Ok, done! Very convincing book. He's a really good writer. One of the things i thought he did really well is to use great metaphors to hammer home his points. For example, he is comparing The Great Disruption to WWII in that people in the US kept denying it was coming our way, but when it did finally come, we were able to mobilize in some unbelievably fast and powerful ways to win that war. He thinks we can do the same in this even bigger battle to save our planet. I hope he's right! So far my prediction from below is WRONG. I guess I'm about 1/3 of the way through, and it is very well researched and pretty earth shattering, literally. Although it is repetitive and could be shorter, the author really does an excellent job of explaining his theory and supporting it in detail. This is not light weight social commentary! I'm not sure that it would have as much of an impact if it were written as bullet points. It is such a depressing theory that one really needs to be hit over the head with it repeatedly to jog one out of denial. Basically, we are in deep DOO DOO. He is trying to put a positive spin on it, but... well, I'm depressed by it :( Prediction: I've read only the sample from Amazon so far. My guess is that the sample would have been enough and this is one of those books that should have been a pamphlet or an essay. Oh well; I need to at least check out the full version for my BOOK CLUB. It'll be like homework :( I'm not really looking forward to it. Great insights lacking acceptance of human nature Is there anything you would change about this book? I would attempt to bring the factual in line with a worldview that is accepting of human nature and our lack of foresight. Who was your favorite character and why? The narrator was excellent and seemed genuine. What about Antony Fergusons performance did you like? I felt like he was the writer and was very taken in by his performance. Did The Great Disruption inspire you to do anything? Not really. I feel like it laid a foundation for understanding the climate crisis and will lead to something I will do in the future. His solution is standardized world laws Paul and I want the same things: More responsible use of our resources. But Paul seems to want us to be in compliance with standardized world laws. He never used the phrase New World Order, but it sure sounds like it to me. I, on the other hand, would rather employ freedom and personal responsibility. After all, where would we go if we found standardized world laws oppressive? It seemed that he said the same thing over and over. Maybe this is because I already understand the problems he is addressing. It could be cut way down, I think. One last thing The reader pronounces nuclear as nuke - u - lar which hurts credibility. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Art-of-Prediction-Audiobook/B0789TC75W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Way more than greenwashing... Have a look at this book before you call Walmart's sustainability efforts "greenwashing." You'll be surprised at how much has been done (and 5 more years of work have been completed since the most recent data this book has to work with.) Force of Nature: Don't Miss Reading This If are a citizen of planet earth - this is a must-read book. It is not easy reading, but it is the best read I have encountered in some time. It is full of facts and history about Walmart and other Green companies initiatives that, while not easy consumption are essential to the story for me. Buy this book to get a full education about the eco-industry, today's sustainable business culture, and how it is being led by the #1 company in the world. The information contained is very up to the minute for 2011, and the facts are foot-noted so you will find dozens of other references that can be used in research or presentations. A DIFFERENT VIEW OF WALMART I have tried to avoid ever setting foot in Walmart for all the reasons Sam Walton used to make him a very rich person. This book has shown how such a company, under proper leadership, can make a positive impact on the world. Granted, they did most of the early things because they could save money by doing them, but they did them and it was a win-win result. I was particularly impressed with the chapter on milk and the initiatives Walmart has taken to improve the industry and also, lower its carbon footprint. Ihave urged all my friends to read this book and also, Eco Barons by the same author. Lots of details upon how Walmart reduced its environmental impact drastically Very nice the way is it narrated (story style). It goes step by step upon walmart's approach to reducing its impact on the environment all the way. Lots of details on how they reduced general waste, CO2 emissions, energy consumption and of course gained profit while doing it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! This is the insiders view of Sustainability at Wal-mart Edward Humes must know some people at Walmart because he details the complete history of the sustainability movement within the world's largest retailer. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Blockchain-Audiobook/B01N6F3YL4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Very good overall introduction This is a very good overview of blockchain, bitcoin and ethereum and the future business and business ideas that can be and are being built on blockchain. Overall I think it's a good book for people like me who want a clearer overview of these technologies and their present and future applications. One of the best short intro books I've heard here This little book gets right to the point. It defines terms well, talks about the state of the art among various pioneering users, and gets the job done. The narration is clear. I have grown used to these short books being a disappointment; happy to say this bucks that trend. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Life-in-the-Financial-Markets-Audiobook/B0112HJ1PE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Life in the Financial Markets - How They Really Work and Why They Matter to You offers the financial services professional, and anyone interested in knowing more about the profession, an entertaining and comprehensive analysis of the financial markets and the financial services industry.

This great resource also includes a review of effective strategies and forecasts the trends that represent potential opportunities for investors. The audiobook reviews the recent history of the financial crisis and includes information on hot topics such as derivatives and high-frequency trading.

Members Reviews: Beautiful elegant orthodoxy, for better or worse At best, the reader is treated to a calm voice passing pretty intelligently on corners of the markets, alongside some recent history (through that prism). At worst, the author lapses into un-original passages of repeating the catechism of this era's financial orthodoxy. If you haven't heard this world view in its full elegance before (and I would include lots of lefty conspiracy types of whatever intentions, but too ignorant or perhaps lazy to learn heretofore what they are denouncing with the usual bumper-sticker slogans), this is a pristine, clean presentation of it. I can imagine listening to any number of figures of this stripe in history, from a Medieval functionary of the Roman Catholic Church, to, say, some earnest apparatchik of a Marxist USSR in the mid 1950s, to some (copping Taleb's terminology) pre-2008 neo-Platonist charlatan flacking absurdly wrong (but beautifully internally elegant) risk models. I don't mean to equate this fellow to them, but it has that untouchably perfect sealed-system kind of thinking to it: hard to argue with, if the listener is willing to jettison the discomforts of alternate views. This can help the unwashed and untutored to understand the smugness and resentment and self-justification of the one-percenters: within this beautiful and airless ideology, it makes perfect internal sense. And it DOES make a lot of sense, again, particularly if one lives in a certain rarefied sphere of existence, and not on the gritty streets where I live (and where political and social peace has a price, AND a value, not to be brushed aside). I agree with plenty of this author's view, more than my peers do in the main, but I see its limitations. And you will not find a clearer exposition of this than here. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Domain-Names-Flipping-Audiobook/B00S1VAIKW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Flight of the Creative Class Author: Richard Florida Narrator: Mark Boyett Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 04-28-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: The most valued workers today are what the economist Richard Florida calls the Creative Class, skilled individuals ranging from money managers to makeup artists, software programmers to steadycam operators, who are in constant demand around the world. Florida's best-selling The Rise of the Creative Class identified these workers as the source of economic revitalization in American cities. In that book, he shows that investment in technology and a civic culture of tolerance (most often marked by the presence of a large gay community) are the key ingredients to attracting and maintaining a local creative class. In The Flight of the Creative Class, Florida expands his research to cover the global competition to attract the Creative Class. The United States was, up until 2002, the unparalleled leader in creative capital. But several key events - the Bush administrations emphasis on smokestack industries, heightened security concerns after 9/11, and the growing cultural divide between conservatives and liberals - have put the U.S. at a substantial disadvantage. Critic Reviews: "Florida remains an astute observer of what makes economic communities tick, and he's sure to generate just as much public debate on this new twist on brain drain." (Publishers Weekly) Policy makers and independent professionals alike must quickly take Floridas argument aboard--and, just as quickly, act.

(Tom Peters) Members Reviews: I' ve found the negative reviews to be perplexing I' ve found the negative reviews to be perplexing- such vitriolic diatribes and very little critical thought evident- I wonder if the book was actually read by these reviewers. This is a really good book that deserves to be read and discussed. Florida doesn't pretend to have all of the answers. People with pulses and a modicum of creativity seem to understand the premises he puts forth. For those looking to blame someone, anyone, for the economic equity gap evident in this country, Florida is an easy target. Folks, don't kill the messenger, he may have something to teach you. The cultural insularity and puritanical values perpetuated in current public policy have long term consequences. Wake up! Richard's assumptions........again On pp 9-10, Richard casually mentions government regulation as one of the reasons for USA's 11th place and dropping ranking for creative business environs,citing Sweden Canada Australia, Ireland as ahead of us.....he consistently glosses over the fact that the creative class as he created it is assumed to be enlightened coastal liberals, who are notorious for creating these regulations on the very creative businesses he champions, and, or course, on every other non-creative buinsess who suffer alike.....which of course stifles all creativity ...like agriculture which he avoids because everybody knows farmers are neither creative nor liberal, nor coastal (Richard's assumptions) ......and the aforementioned countries, after decades of their own self stifling liberalism, are in liberal-political -recovery......the US is just now falling into that abyss....recovery possibly just starting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Cryptocurrency-The-Ultimate-Guide-on-Cryptocurrency-Audiobook/B073ZP13J3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: basic info the information is a little dated. A basic overview of why you should be doing social media. "Obama's Marketing Plan" would be more fitting. I wanted this book to turn around and get to real world examples. The author could not get away from the Obama campaign. it was a good try but not worth my money. An Eye Opener Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, I'm doing a certificate in social media and this book explained clearly where and why social media is a big part of today's lifestyle What other book might you compare Socialnomics: How Social Media Transforms the Way We Live and Do Business to and why? To Mitch Joel's book Six Pixels of Separation Have you listened to any of John Allen Nelsons other performances before? How does this one compare? No I haven't Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Not particularly, I enjoyed every chapter Any additional comments?

Members Reviews: Complicated matt presented undestandebly Had to stop some periods but then easy to come back. Clear voice to listen to. Quite a hard read I was constantly rewinding and ended up buying a hard copy. I would say Mervyn King is not a natural story writer - not a Michael Lewis - and the subject matter is hard. King seems to argue that people 'decide' to 'bring forward future earnings to the present' because they see the low interest rates and overestimate their future earnings (a sort of rational error). I think people just get into debt because they 'can', so I found some of his theorising unconvincing. I liked his 'paradox of policy', which explains why politicians are attracted to Keynesian expansion, because it works short term, but which actually gets them deeper in the s*** long run. This explains something that had been puzzling me - why politicians believe that more debt is a solution to a debt crisis. It is a paradox, comparable to Keynes's paradox of thrift. By the way, there is not really an optimistic ending to this book. Narration. I found it irritatingly 'Jackanory'. ie. the style is like an adult reading to a child, with exaggerated emphasis on clues as to what will happen next. Suprised by frankness What made the experience of listening to The End of Alchemy the most enjoyable? I had anticipated one book and got another. Anticipating a dryer tome sanitised of harsh truths, however, I received a compelling easy read with some unvarnished heavy opinions, given by a man whose opinions can be codified closer to the real world than most. Highly recommended. Brilliant and informative book on global financed Would recommend to anyone wanting to understand how global finances work and the reasons behind previous downturns. Also explains his concerns on different currencies. Monotonous story, lacking sequence of events I felt that the story was lacking "and so what" element at times. There was nothing new in Author's slides and several themes were totally repetitive and did not resonate with me. For example, "uncertainty" is a trendy term these days which doesn't really mean much, in my view. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/How-to-Make-a-Million-Dollars-an-Hour-Audiobook/B00CTQ9DIS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Top hedge fund managers make more than Oprah, Rupert Murdoch, and A-Rod combined - but they aren't running news and entertainment empires or playing baseball for the New York Yankees. Aren't you curious about how these hedge fund dudes make so much doing who knows what? You may even wonder if you can get there, too. After all, this is America! This book gives you the answers in a twelve-step guide to accumulating vast riches the way hedge fund managers do - by playing trillion-dollar poker with a marked deck. Through each easy step, you'll learn the sleight of hand and disregard for basic morality you'll need to move from making tens of dollars an hour to millions an hour! Along the way, you'll also question whether these hedge fund moguls make markets work better - as they and their apologists insist - or cause instability, siphon off capital, and destroy value without adding so much as a single widget to the economy. Takes a fascinating tour of the wild side of fantasy finance to explain just how hedge fund managers make so much money - and whether or not the million-an-hour crowd produces anything positive for society and the economy. Teaches you hedge fund secrets that make it possible to pull down astounding sums in the space of minutes - from rigging your bets to milking millions in special tax breaks - if you're willing to bankrupt your morality for the cash. Counters many of the most common arguments about why speculating in financial markets is somehow "worth more" than creating entertainment, electronics, or consumer goods that consumers want.

Members Reviews: Misleading title for this political rant What would have made How to Make a Million Dollars an Hour better? It would have been better if the title more accurately depicted the content. It was a catchy title designed to sell books. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I would have liked it a lot more if I would have known ahead of time that it was a rant against "the system." Any additional comments? Not a bad book - just not what I thought I was buying. Deceptive title This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Someone who is interested in listening for hours to a misguided individual who does not understand economics discuss ethics and morality. If you are of low intelligence, paranoid, like socialism or conspiracy theories you may enjoy this book. Has How to Make a Million Dollars an Hour turned you off from other books in this genre? I am interested in financial books. However this was not a financial book, it was an ethics book. Have you listened to any of Oliver Wymans other performances before? How does this one compare? Reading was good. Content was not. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from How to Make a Million Dollars an Hour? I would not publish this book. It is absolute rubbish. Any additional comments? The title is deceptive, it contains no information on how to make a million dollars a hour. It is an eight hour rant about the ethics of hedge funds. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Looting-Machine-Warlords-Tycoons-Smugglers-and-the-Systematic-Theft-of-Africas-Wealth-Audiobook/B00TJ1OYXA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Looting Machine: Warlords, Tycoons, Smugglers and the Systematic Theft of Africa's Wealth Author: Tom Burgis Narrator: Dugald Bruce Lockhart Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 02-26-15 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: A shocking investigative journey into the way the resource trade wreaks havoc on Africa, The Looting Machine explores the dark underbelly of the global economy. Africa: the world's poorest continent and arguably its richest. While accounting for just 2 percent of global GDP, it is home to 15 percent of the planet's crude oil, 40 percent of its gold, and 80 percent of its platinum. A third of the Earth's mineral deposits lie beneath its soil. But far from being a salvation, this buried treasure has been a curse. The Looting Machine takes you on a gripping and shocking journey through anonymous boardrooms and glittering headquarters to expose a new form of financialized colonialism. Africa's booming growth is driven by the voracious hunger for natural resources from rapidly emerging economies such as China. But in the shadows a network of traders, bankers, and corporate raiders has sprung up to grease the palms of venal local political elites. What is happening in Africa's resource states is systematic looting. In country after country across the continent, the resource industry is tearing at the very fabric of society. But, like its victims, the beneficiaries of this looting machine have names. For six years Tom Burgis has been on a mission to expose corruption and give voice to the millions of Africans who suffer the consequences of living under this curse. Combining deep reporting with an action-packed narrative, he travels to the heart of Africa's resource states, meeting a warlord in Nigeria's oil-soaked Niger Delta, and crossing a warzone to reach a remote mineral mine in Eastern Congo. The result is a blistering investigation that throws a completely fresh light on the workings of the global economy and will make you think twice about what goes into the mobile phone in your pocket and the tank of your car. Critic Reviews: "An excellent book. Despite Africa's impressive economic 5% growth rate, Tom Burgis ensures that we don't stop wondering who does what in Africa and how we are all party to what Western 'investors' are up to. The postcolonial corruption and rape of African resource to the benefit of Western consumption is still alive and horribly well." (Jon Snow) "Tom Burgis has managed to uncover a system responsible for the wholesale looting of Africa's mineral resources for the benefit of oligarchic and state interests around the world. French, Chinese, Americans, Russians, Israelis, Brits, Brazilians, not to mention small but rapacious African elites are all involved in pillaging Africa's natural resources to line their pockets with unbelievable sums. Burgis, a gifted young journalist with the Financial Times, has tracked down all these characters across some of Africa's most dangerous hotspots and beyond in Asia, Europe, and America. The reporting is vivid, eye-popping, and even at times very funny."

It is recommended for the beginner investor. Solid advice that manages expectations while encouraging adventure. A solid introduction of cryptocurrency This is a great resource for beginners, who are being introduced to cryptocurrency for the first time. It won't tell you the next greatest currency or give formulas on how to invest in crypto. Instead it offers a brief introduction to the basic aspects of digital currency. Some helpful tips but nothing of real substance, nothing ... Some helpful tips but nothing of real substance, nothing a few hours on Google won't. No real "trading" information, lots of filler pages.

Members Reviews: Lacks any real detail or analysis Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? First, this book isn't really a 54 minutes as the narration is very slow. That being said even at 1.5x, or 2x, your time is probably better spent elsewhere as the book is very light on details. The 5 companies "discussed" get 6-8 (slowly narrated) minutes each. The companies are: Lululemon Alibaba Keurig Tesla Fuhu These are fascinating companies that are definitely growth engines, but I feel rather than getting a case study or any analysis, all this book does is give you a very short intro to who these companies are. Any additional comments? I've given 2 stars, because if you ignore the speed, the narration is good, and if you ignore the lack of detail the intro to these companies isn't bad. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Panic-Prosperity-and-Progress-Audiobook/B00V3ML0ZS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize winning economist) Members Reviews: Confused and not scholarly The problem with Robyn Meredith's book is that she cannot make up her mind. Alternately a fundamentalist free-trader and then demanding more government regulation, she fails to have more than an ad hoc understanding of China and India. Perhaps this because she has no clear understanding of either countries history. Content with caricatures, she never really tries to understand the broad sweep of either of these countries 3000+ history or culture. The other thing the alert reader will find distressing is her easy switching between anecdote and statistics and real numbers. The combination of which appears to make an argument, but in reality actually hides the truth rather than presents it. When Meredith states that "tens of millions of Chinese have been lifted out of poverty" that sounds impressive until one realizes that such a number would still leave more than 90% of the country impoverished. By failing to stick with more consistent statistical percentages, Meredith can create an illusion of greater prosperity than is really merited. Certainly, this is a better introduction to the issues of Globalization than Tom Friedman's rightfully excoriated work and yet it suffers from some of the same problems of substituting isolated anecdotes for real data. It is by no means a scholarly book and should be taken as a business reporters reflections rather than a real contribution to understanding the economics of gloablization. A word also about the audiobook for audible listeners. The narrator here has a mechanical voice that I was convinced was computer generated for quite a while. Her lifeless reading makes the book that much more difficult to take. When combined with the myriad flaws of the text itself I would give this book a pass. I am still looking for a good book on globalization on audible. If I find one I will update this review. Readable, even enjoyable, macroeconomics This is an excellent synopsis of the emerging Asian economies of China and India presaging the implications of their economic growth and "coming of age" as global powers. The author does a wonderful job of combining economic statistics with the stories of leaders and individuals that illustrate the meaning of the raw numbers. Economics may be the "dismal science," but Robyn Meredith makes it quite readable, even enjoyable. Some of author's own political opinions color the "hard facts" contained in this book - which would be fine if clearly written as such. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Shareholder-Value-Myth-Audiobook/B00WT2XWQQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Stout shows how shareholder value thinking endangers not only investors but the rest of us as well. It leads managers to focus myopically on short-term earnings; discourages investment and innovation; harms employees, customers, and communities; and causes companies to indulge in reckless, sociopathic, and irresponsible behaviors.

As the world moves from the industrial era to the digital age, power is shifting and fragmenting. Power is no longer about might and ownership; power in a digital world is about access. Existing businesses need to understand this shift and position themselves to survive and thrive in an environment where entrepreneurs and start-ups enabled by access to technology are genuine threats. Author Steve Sammartino is widely regarded as a thought leader on the subject of technology and business, and helps companies transition from industrial-era thinking to the mindset and processes required to compete in today's digital marketplace. The Great Fragmentation shows how technological changes such as Big Data, gamification, crowdfunding, Bitcoin, 3D printing, social media, mashup culture and artisanal production will forever change business and the way we live our lives.

Members Reviews: Feels like the 2nd edition of the World is Flat Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? The book is an OK read. What was most disappointing about Steve Sammartinos story? The book would be an interesting read for a novice, but if you already read the World Is Flat, Wikinomics and a few other books that talked how the world and people are becoming more interconnected, how it's easier to collaborate and share, you won't see much new in this book. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of David Thorpe? The narrator was excellent, but the content was so thin that I had to listen to at at x3 speed (normally I stay with x2) to not fall asleep. Impressed! Ready to listen & read again. Couldn't stop listening to Steve Sammartino's great insights and futurist predictions on business. I will be downloading the kindle version to read and listen again, but this time taking notes ;-) Excellent work Mr. Sammartino! Insulting and horribly unbalanced Couldnt take anymore after five chapters. Quick summary in three bullets... - Evil, greedy industrialists dictate the lives of the ignorant masses that dont know any better - Altruistic digitalists (I made up) unleash all of mankinds creative energies suppressed for centuries with no desire for money. - No middle ground For any balanced person you will prefer some middle ground by appreciating the higher standard of living you have through standardization (Home Depot/Walmart) while at the same time being able to enjoy the pleasures of human creativity (Etsy). Unless you enjoy extremely unbalanced and numerous over the top statements, dont waste your time with this book. Just great Just great! Bunch of deep and futuristic ideas which inspired me to take some small steps towards my own creative business. Get ready for the future If you could sum up The Great Fragmentation in three words, what would they be? Quite an insightful book and great for visionaries to peer into what is potentially to come in the near future. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Small-Business-Taxes-Audiobook/B01M0BF292 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Detailed information about Billionaires If you want in depth information about billionaires including factors such as where they grew up and influence they had this is your book! Steps that are mentioned in this book to follow can easily be implemented in real life Iâm a mother of two girls, and I work full-time in a male-dominated company. I get paid well, but certainly, want my daughters to have more opportunities. Iâve read a few bestsellers from born-rich women and âfamily lottery winners,â but these ladies are out of touch with the struggles of everyday women. Also, I think these authors are only interested in building their brands while providing superficial advice and uninspiring anecdotes. This book struck a chord with me because it highlights womenâs issues without overdoing it. All the factors combined, and especially career aspirations, make sense when you think about who is rich and who isnât. For example, the owners of my company are risk takers, so, they deserve the lion share of financial rewards like profits. Iâm encouraging my girls to pursue entrepreneurship to avoid glass ceilings, sexism, and unfair treatment. Sadly, office environments like âMad Menâ still exist, which negatively impact career-driven women like myself. Coincidently, this book comes at a time when companies like Google and Uber are in the hot seat for suspect hiring practices and reports from disgruntled employees. Just when I thought this book was going to address wealth factors only, the author gives ideas, recommendations, and encouragement to help you succeed. The author doesnât speak down to you, but with you in helping the reader understand that becoming wealthy isnât easy, but doable. Once you know which issues influence prosperity, you can relate them to your life and make changes. Also, I appreciate the research used to support salient points. This is not another how-to book, but a class on how fortunes are made. Amazing content and I love it Iâve read my share of self-help books, and these books pretty much give the same advice on how to succeed without providing any granular insights. For example, set goals, stay focused, get up earlier, and so on. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Bitcoin-The-Basics-of-Blockchain-and-Investing-in-Cryptocurrency-Audiobook/B0768R15VY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Scale Subtitle: How to Grow Your Business by Working Less Author: Frank H Bria Narrator: Frank Bria Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 08-07-15 Publisher: Cambio Publishing Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Your business needs to scale. In the author's own words, "I remember the day it hit me.... I was in Kiev when I got a call from my wife. She was in the hospital, having driven herself there during the middle of the night. She hadn't realized quite how ill she was, but in fact she needed surgery. Meanwhile, I was halfway around the world, and my children, who fortunately weren't very young, were alone. But they had to get themselves fed and off to school; their mother was in the hospital, and their father was far from home. I felt helpless and like a terrible husband and father. It took me three days to get home, three days during which I thought about the price of success.... Although I had created the successful business I had aspired to create, I was trapped. I couldn't make personal time for anything that was important to me if I expected to deliver the products and services I had promised to my clients. My physical presence was required, and there was no substitute. No one could fill in for me; no one could take my place. Of course, this gave me job security, but it came at the cost of not being able to take a vacation, or nothing would get done. I was living the life of a successful businessman, but it was not the life that I had intended. My physical presence was required at home, too. While I was on the road, I missed seeing my children grow up, let alone participating in their development. The concept of scale had become personal for me." What is holding you back? What happened to the author occurs to many entrepreneurs and business owners when they discover that their businesses have grown so large and become so successful that they have become trapped by their own success. Has this happened to you? A scalable business makes it possible to create passive income and grow the business by doing less and by doing so more thoughtfully. It takes effort on your part to truly evaluate each of the four keys of scale. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Frank H Bria) Fri, 07 Aug 2015 13:14:21 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Scale-Audiobook/B013J8FXQ0 thebookvoice.com 05:48:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Supporting material no where to be found Audible does not supply accompanying material for this book, yet Frank starts the book by stating such material is available on his website, where it's nowhere to be found. I could find no contact info to ask the author for it, and the link to his Twitter profile didn't work + he had a horrible stock photo of "his team" on his website (it made me cringe). The extremely poor website presence of the author made lose all trust in his credibility as an online marketer. The content overall? Solid, but without the written extra material, it's not easy to follow. The advice in the book is more centered towards conversion optimization than scaling a business. Advice on the latter is more rudimentary, and not really helpful to me. Much better is Making Money is Killing Your Business by Chuck Blakeman which even has its accompanying material available. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Blockchain-Audiobook/B0731KWYHS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It steps over certain crucial and complicated concepts making it difficult to understand for people new to the blockchain. In other chapters there is a lot of unnecessary detail in examples. The complete list of bank projects with redundant details on linkedin quotes and hackathon winners of 2014, doesn't teach the reader anything. They could have given examples and analogies explaining all concepts and jargon much better. If you want to learn how the blockchain works this is not the book for you. Hard to listen to. Audio was read by a monotone computer voice not a narrator so was hard to listen to and understand. Good information though. Its a bit dry But I suppose that goes with the territory. It covers the topic in a broad sense but to use it you will need to delve deeper for sure. A disappointing purchase of lists This book starts strong with the introduction and finishes reasonably well by urging the reader to learn more. In between both ends of the book seems to be recital of endless lists of who is using blockchain and for what. The content could just as well be someone regurgitating the results of a Goggle search. Company A does this, company B says they will do that, company C plans to do the other, company D is working with Company A, and so on for the entire book. Little content beyond a description for each company, and chapter after chapter. On the upside if you want to know who is doing what with blockchain and you do not want to do a couple quick searches online, this book is perfect! Great Way to Get Caught Up to Speed This book did a great job of slowly introducing the blockchain to the reader and connecting it to concepts already known. If you already know how the blockchain works and just want more information about what is going on with it, just skip to chapter 8. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Fate-of-the-States-Audiobook/B00DB4V19G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Fate of the States Subtitle: The New Geography of American Prosperity Author: Meredith Whitney Narrator: Jo Anna Perrin Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 06-20-13 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 42 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: "Forget everything you think you know about the direction of the American economy, about our growing need for foreign oil, about the rise of the service economy and the decline of American manufacturing. The story of the next 30 years will not be a repeat of the last 30." One of the most respected voices on Wall Street, Meredith Whitney shot to global prominence in 2007 when her warnings of a looming crisis in the financial sector proved all too prescient. Now, in her first book, she expands upon her biggest call since the financial crisis. Whitney points out that it wasn't just consumers who binged on debt for the past 20 years but state and local governments, too. She explains how the fiscal sins of the past are beginning to transform the U.S. economy along regional lines. And she shows how we are moving into a new era in which wealth, power, and opportunity flow away from the coasts and toward the central corridor. The housing boom was initially great for states such as California, Nevada, and Florida. State and municipal coffers overflowed, unemployment shrank, and local governments spent their tax revenue windfalls on pay hikes and pension increases for their public employees. But when the boom dried up in those parts of the country, so too did the tax revenues, forcing tax rate hikes and cuts to essential public services - especially education and infrastructure. In contrast to those doom-and-gloom headlines, a much different trend was developing in interior states such as North Dakota, Indiana, and Texas. They survived the housing crisis relatively unscathed, avoiding mass foreclosures and budgetary chaos. As a result they've had the money to retrain workers and offer tax incentives to companies willing to relocate. Coupled with the recent booms in natural gas and oil extraction and a resurgence in manufacturing, these states are poised to become the new powerhouses of the American economy. Whitney offers a sobering vision of the next few decades, with the coastal states continuing to struggle while the central corridor continues to thrive. She explores the consequences of roughly half the country stuck in a vicious cycle of decline while the other half enjoys a virtuous circle of growth. Whitney also offers practical ideas to help the struggling parts of the country - before the fate of the states becomes irreversible. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Meredith Whitney) Thu, 20 Jun 2013 04:17:46 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Fate-of-the-States-Audiobook/B00DB4V19G thebookvoice.com 06:09:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What made the experience of listening to Fate of the States the most enjoyable? I actually tried to read the hardcover version of this book first and decided to try the audiobook to see if it improved my perspective. I didn't finish reading the actual hardcover because there are so many statistics that I began to feel I was reading a scientific journal. I was happiest with the audio book. The book is a compendium of dry facts and figures which might have made my head explode if not for the expertise of the narrator. Ms. Whitney's book is part topical and part historical which makes reading it in book form a little jarring and slow. It seems she can't decide if she should be the statistician she is, or rope us in by colloquial banter. It often times feels as if it is 2 books. All that being said, when Ms. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Blockchain-Blueprint-Audiobook/B072VS9WM3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Blockchain is the future of our world. This revolutionary concept has been developed alongside Bitcoin, but as you will learn in this audiobook, the two have almost nothing else to do with each other.

I want some meat, to know why and not just what. Where's the beef? No info about bitcoin This "book" sucks. Don't buy if you want to learn about blockchain technology. If you'd like to learn about "a super duper exciting investment opportunity." Then this is the scam book for you. great I now understand blockchain technology and can get more involved with it financially..short and sweet Boring , generic and redundant This book was really disappointing , it talks in generic terms about an upcoming block chain technology without scratching the surface or going into an it if effort to explain more than what u can get from reading a couple of articles about the subject , many chapters are redundant as they mention the same ideas (e.g. Similarities between blockchain and internet revolution was mention at least three times ) , the authors also spend 2-3 minutes describing the chapter (e.g why do you need to know about block chain benefits or myths) and other non useful introductory talk that takes at least one third of this short book. There are plenty of other good books about the blockchain, don't waste your money on this one , google blockchain and read the first three articles you get about t instead Four stars...

Title: The Nature of the Future Subtitle: Dispatches from the Socialstructed World Author: Marina Gorbis Narrator: Michael Puttonen Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 12-12-13 Publisher: Post Hypnotic Press Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: A renowned futurist offers a vision of a reinvented world. Large corporations, big governments, and other centralized organizations have long determined and dominated the way we work, access healthcare, get an education, feed ourselves, and generally go about our lives. The economist Ronald Coase, in his famous 1937 paper "The Nature of the Firm," provided an economic explanation for this: Organizations lowered transaction costs, making the provision of goods and services cheap, efficient, and reliable. Today, this organizational advantage is rapidly disappearing. The Internet is lowering transaction costs - costs of connection, coordination, and trade - and pointing to a future that increasingly favors distributed sources and social solutions to some of our most immediate needs and our most intractable problems. As Silicon Valley thought-leader Marina Gorbis, head of the Institute for the Future, portrays, a thriving new relationship-driven or "socialstructed" economy is emerging in which individuals are harnessing the powers of new technologies to join together and provide an array of products and services. Examples of this changing economy range from BioCurious, a members-run and free-to-use bio lab, to the peer-to-peer lending platform Lending Club, to the remarkable Khan Academy, a free online teaching service. These engaged and innovative pioneers are filling gaps and doing the seemingly impossible by reinventing business, education, medicine, banking, government, and even scientific research. Based on extensive research into current trends, she travels to a socialstructed future and depicts an exciting vision of tomorrow. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Marina Gorbis) Thu, 12 Dec 2013 09:50:58 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Nature-of-the-Future-Audiobook/B00H8B2EFS thebookvoice.com 08:10:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Banal, obvious and poorly researhed What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? It needed an over arching idea or insight. It was just a list of uninteresting opinions. I didn't get it What will your next listen be? a similar subject, but a different author What do you think the narrator could have done better? Narrator was fine What character would you cut from The Nature of the Future?

Members Reviews: A smorgasbord of old Economist articles. What disappointed you about Economics: Making sense of the Modern Economy? This is a collection of articles that had originally appeared on the pages of The Economist (a British financial magazine). The chapters in the book are edited versions of those articles and they do not blend well together. Yes, it's one of those make-a-book-out-of-a-magazine's-back-catalog efforts. In this case, the back catalog is at least 5 years old and woefully out of date. Economic theories tend to go bad after a few years, and so to the theories put forward in this tome. On the plus side, the actual writing is structurally excellent. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The one saving grace about this audiobook is David Thorpe. There are times that I want to listen to a book not for it's content, but as background noise while I work. Mr. Thorpe is excellent in that role. He takes what is dry and boring in this book and reads it in almost a musical manor. Whether that is sufficient weight to overcome the book's shortcomings is debatable. Poorly organized and difficult to enjoy This collection of audio that incidentally is free to all subscribers of the electronic version is devoid of even modest organization. No real point it feels like a random collection of magazine articles. Which I guess it is, but it is not enjoyable. SPELLBINDING? This may not be a spellbinding subject but it offers insight to the dismal science based on improved big data collection and better data analysis. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Understanding-Global-Trade-Audiobook/B00AYIHUYC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Understanding Global Trade Author: Elhanan Helpman Narrator: Kevin Charles Minatrea Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Global trade is of vital interest to citizens as well as policymakers, yet it is widely misunderstood. This compact exposition of the market forces underlying international commerce addresses both of these concerned groups, as well as the needs of students and scholars. Although it contains no equations, it is almost mathematical in its elegance, precision, and power of expression. Understanding Global Trade provides a thorough explanation of what shapes the international organization of production and distribution and the resulting trade flows. It reviews the evolution of knowledge in this field from Adam Smith to today as a process of theoretical modeling, accumulation of new empirical data, and then revision of analytical frameworks in response to evidence and changing circumstances. It explains the sources of comparative advantage and how they lead countries to specialize in making products which they then sell to other countries. While foreign trade contributes to the overall welfare of a nation, it also creates winners and losers, and Helpman describes mechanisms through which trade affects a country's income distribution. The book provides a clear and original account of the revolutions in trade theory of the 1980s and the most recent decade. It shows how scholars shifted the analysis of trade flows from the sectoral level to the business-firm level, to elucidate the growing roles of multinational corporations, offshoring, and outsourcing in the international division of labor. Helpman's explanation of the latest research findings is essential for an understanding of world affairs. The book is published by Harvard University Press. Critic Reviews: "Anyone interested in understanding the nuances of globalization should read this book." (Kenneth Rogoff, co-author of This Time is Different) "Elhanan Helpman's Understanding Global Trade is a masterpiece of non-mathematical, fully understandable, but still rigorous, exposition." (Stanley Fischer, Governor, Bank of Israel) "Elhanan Helpman is among the foremost trade theorists of his generation.

Title: Men Without Work Subtitle: America's Invisible Crisis Author: Nicholas Eberstadt Narrator: Stephen R. Thorne Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 07-11-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: By one reading, things look pretty good for Americans today: The country is richer than ever before, and the unemployment rate is down by half since the Great Recession. But a closer look shows that something is going seriously wrong. This is the collapse of work - especially among America's men. Political economist Nicholas Eberstadt shows that while "unemployment" has gone down, America's work rate is also lower today than a generation ago - and that the work rate for US men has been spiraling downward for half a century. Astonishingly, the work rate for American males aged 25-54 - or "men of prime working age" - was actually slightly lower in 2015 than it had been in 1940, before the war and at the tail end of the Great Depression. Today, nearly one in six prime working-age men has no paid work at all - and nearly one in eight is out of the labor force entirely, neither working nor even looking for work. This new normal of "men without work", argues Eberstadt, is "America's invisible crisis". So who are these men? How did they get there? What are they doing with their time? And what are the implications of this exit from work for American society? Critic Reviews: An unsettling portrait not just of male unemployment, but also of lives deeply alienated from civil society.

(The New York Times) Members Reviews: Very worth reading The book provides an insightful analysis of what appears to be a voluntary retreat from the labor force of a steadily increasing fraction of the productive age US male population. These non-working men are not being captured by the unemployment statistics, which refer to people currently without a job but actively seeking employment. Time will show whether this phenomenon is transient and will take care of itself, or it will have lasting detrimental effects on the economy as a whole, or it is an early sign of the transition to a segmented society in which a skilled portion of the population holds high paying jobs, while the rest subsists on a sort of guaranteed minimum income. Four Stars Great information on a difficult to understand economic problem. Well written and clear. Thesis ("disability" and other demotivators) ... Well written and clear. Thesis ("disability" and other demotivators) is very clear, and fraud-promoting doctors are not as much of a factor as I'd thought - it's more the rachet or vicious cycle effect of not having worked. Somewhat repetitive. Five Stars Well done. Clear and to the point and very much heartbreaking. A book both Presidential candidates should read, but probably won't. Author Nicholas Eberstadt tries to explain a phenomenon that is well known to those who study labor statistics but perhaps less well-known among the general public, the increase over the last several decades in the share of men who are outside the labor force. While this change is not unique to the U.S., Eberstadt notes it is more pronounced in this country, even while our overall labor force participation (LFP) rate remains high relative to many of our developed world peers because of high female labor force participation. Those outside the labor force, meaning they are neither working nor seeking work, tend to be disproportionately less educated, unmarried and native born (as opposed to immigrants). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Disrobed-Audiobook/B0764LMWYK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Disrobed Subtitle: How Clothing Predicts Economic Cycles, Saves Lives, and Determines the Future Author: Syl Tang Narrator: Randye Kaye Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 10-16-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: We may not often think of our clothes as having a function beyond covering our naked bodies and keeping us a little safer from the elements. But to discount the enormous influence of clothing on anything from economic cycles to the future of water scarcity is to ignore the greater meaning of the garments we put on our backs. Disrobed vividly considers the role that clothing plays in everything from natural disasters to climate change to terrorism to geopolitics to agribusiness. Chapter by chapter, Tang takes the listener on an unusual journey, telling stories and asking questions that most consumers have never considered about their clothing. Why do banker's wives sell off their clothes and how does that presage a recession? How is clothing linked to ethanol and starvation on the African continent? Could RFID in clothing save the lives of millions of people in earthquakes around the world? This book takes an everyday item and considers it in a way that listeners may not have previously thought possible. It tackles topics relevant to today, from fakes in the museums to farm-to-table eating, and answers questions about how we can anticipate and change our world in areas as far-reaching as the environment, politics, and the clash of civilizations occurring between countries.

Critic Reviews: "A fresh perspective about how our individual choices can radically upend societies on the other side of the globe." (Aki Peritz, former CIA analyst) Members Reviews: Making Sense of the Chaos Syl Tang presents an exploration of human psychology and the many ways we dress it up. It is entertaining, relevant, and challenges the reader to rethink apparel and the basic human need of clothing as a core form of expression and a precursor of our collective psychological sensitivities that, in turn, serves to pre-define other trends. Her arguments are compelling, thoroughly-researched and well-supported. While I might quibble about the extent to which the argument holds, there's no doubt of the novelty of this worldview and the importance of recognizing it if you are interested in consumer markets, global trends, and most of the other things that impact your daily life. When you're done with the book, you'll see your wardrobe, others' wardrobes and the fashion industry differently, and it'll definitely leave you at least a little savvier about why it matters. If you want to be enlightened, this book is for you The words "really insightful" does not give justice to this book. Author Syl Tang is able to expertly dissect micro and macro trends for the soft goods industry, and then synthesize and contextualize this into a web of knowledge that only she can provide as a futurist. Really amazed at how comprehensive and how surprising all of her insights are - and the uniqueness of her world view when it comes to issues facing the world over is surprising and eye opening. Really great page turner!!! Put down that sweater and read this! This book is a must read not only for fashionistas, garmentos, and scholars, but also anyone who wears clothes. The author weaves (pun intended) a tale that is thought provoking as well as entertaining. Clothing really says so much about ourselves, society and the world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Googled-Audiobook/B002VA9YH2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Interesting, but Tedious While the story is interesting and compelling, the fact that this book seems to retell the same general story dozens of time becomes tedious. The focus is on nearly one industry, advertising, with almost nothing on the technical advances that made Google. If this book were half the length it would be much better. Perhaps the abridged version is better. The author repeats the same theme dozens of times, how Google upsets the advertising and entertainment content industry. After about the 10th similar passage on that fact it gets OLD. Its seemed that about 25% of this book is what I was looking for, the story of how the company was built, and its victories and challenges. I found the reader used odd voice inflection. Play the preview, and be aware of the length. For some reason the reader seemed a mismatch to the book and its story. It becomes confusing because there are SO many similar recounts of interviews, and the reader uses the same speach patter for all. r. Would be much better at half the length, and is too much a story of the advertising world. An exhausting "notebook dump" That's news-biz terminology for when a reporter just puts everything he knows into a story — is not selective. Ken Auletta is a stellar reporter, but this book is a firehose that is flopping out of control. I feel as though I have re-lived the entire history of Google and modern media in real time. What I had hoped for was something to help me make sense of it. Audio production could have been better While the narrator is competent, easy to listen to, and has a voice well-suited for the topic, there are clear artifacts in the audio production. There are small sections of frequent and quite noticeable "inserts" that are probably the result of error corrections done after the primary recording. Also, there are times when the narrator makes awkward inflections of certain words that seem unnecessary and out of sync. These are minor issues when you concentrate on Auletta's very fine and interesting narrative. Lacks First Mover Advantage Better written than earlier books on Google, but not the first to tell the story. This author is unusually professional in his reporting, perhaps even fair and balanced. If you haven???t already read a book on Google, this one is more grown up than most. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Retail-Supply-Chain-Analysis-Audiobook/B00TOSZ8Z6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Suppliers are responsible for inputs to a process, and my employer is involved in both external and internal suppliers. My employer offers a store brand that is produced within a separate department and a separate location that competes with the supplier's brand. This paper overviews how a retail supply chain works and why a supply chain is necessary in retail in order to stay one step ahead of the numerous competitors. I hold an associate's degree in business management technology and am a senior studying for a bachelor's degree in business management. Thanks, and I hope this document serves as a great learning or reference tool. Members Reviews: GREAT BOOK, HELPED ME WITH MY PAPER!

Title: Why GM Matters Subtitle: Inside the Race to Transform an American Icon Author: William J. Holstein Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 11-24-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: In November, GM CEO Rick Wagoner appeared before Congress to ask for $25 billion to bail out the struggling Big Three automakers. To critics like Thomas Freidman and Mitt Romney, it was a sign that the American auto industry should be led out to pasture; if the Japanese are better at making cars, they said, then we should let them do it. To defenders, the loss of the country's largest manufacturing sector would be an incomprehensible disaster. Nearly every day, the debate rages on the op-ed pages. Billions of dollars and millions of jobs hang in the balance. In Why GM Matters, William Holstein goes deep inside GM to show what's really happening at the country's most iconic corporation. Where critics say that GM has sat on its hands while the market changed, Holstein demonstrates that GM has already radically retooled its entire operation, from manufacturing and cost structure to design. Where pundits say we'd be better off without GM, he shows how inextricably linked GM and the nation's economy still are: The country's largest private buyer of IT, the world's largest buyer of steel, the holder of pensions for 780,000 Americans, GM accounts for a full 1 percent of our country's GDP. A dollar spent on GM has profoundly different consequences from a dollar spent on Toyota. Following a diverse cast of characters--from Rick Wagoner, the controversial CEO, to design director Bob Boniface, to Linda Flowers, a team leader on the line in Kansas City--Holstein examines the state of GM's health and builds a persuasive argument that GM is essential to our nation's well-being and, with the right economic climate, ready to compete with Toyota as one of the biggest global automakers. Critic Reviews: "At a time when GM and the domestic auto industry are in acute crisis, this book makes sense of what has happened--and what should happen next. Bill Holstein is an extremely knowledgeable and perceptive journalist, and his book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of the American auto industry."

(Fortune) Members Reviews: Boring I found this book boring and tedious to listen to. It sounds more like something written by GM's PR department than an insightful analysis. Most of the folks that the author builds are up are now gone. Yes, it's interesting to learn how sophisticated GM's international collaboration is, but the arguments supporting the title are both simplistic and unconvincing - and they drone on. Very technical and well layed out very persuasive Excellent narrative. GM is America and more Americans need to see that. spot on sir https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Search-Audiobook/B002V0K54I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Search Subtitle: How Google & Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business & Transformed Our Culture Author: John Battelle Narrator: John Battelle Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 12-21-05 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 767 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Jumping into the game long after Yahoo, Alta Vista, Excite, Lycos, and other pioneers, Google offered a radical new approach to search, redefined the idea of viral marketing, survived the dotcom crash, and pulled off the largest and most talked about initial public offering in the history of Silicon Valley. But The Search offers much more than the inside story of Google's triumph. It's also a big-picture book about the past, present, and future of search technology, and the enormous impact it is starting to have on marketing, media, pop culture, dating, job hunting, international law, civil liberties, and just about every other sphere of human interest. More than any of its rivals, Google has become the gateway to instant knowledge. Hundreds of millions of people use it to satisfy their wants, needs, fears, and obsessions, creating an enormous artifact that Battelle calls "the Database of Intentions". Combined with the databases of thousands of other search-driven businesses, large and small, it all adds up to a goldmine of information that powerful organizations (including the government) will want to get their hands on. No one is better qualified to explain this entire phenomenon than Battelle, who co-founded Wired and founded The Industry Standard. Perhaps more than any other journalist, he has devoted his career to finding the holy grail of technology. And he has finally found it in search. For anyone who wants to understand how Google really succeeded, The Search is an eye-opening and indispensable read. Critic Reviews: "This is an excellent, thought-provoking book." (Booklist) "John Battelle has written a brilliant business book....All searchers should read it." (Walter Isaacson) "This book ought to be called The Answer. As usual, John Battelle delivers insightful, thought-provoking, and essential reading."

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Trevor Goss Great book about search in general and google in particular. The book also goes through yahoo, ask, and several other search engines in such a way that gives the reader the appropriate background to understand how Google came about and why it was so revolutionary. The author does a nice job of explaining several technical issues (e.g. Google's page rank algorithm) in such a way that non-technical people can understand. If you had to pick one book to read to understand the basis for the modern interenet, I think this would be a good choice. I'm in the process of writing the business plan for my company prior to our beta launch and reading/listening to this book caused me to see our product in somewhat of a different light. Translation: it's a powerful and thought provoking book that moves well. The intro is a little bit slow, but once you get through that part, the rest moves along at rapid pace. I was also impressed that this book told several stories that I'd not heard mentioned in other books. Often times, authors of popular topics or companies will all tell the same legendary tales of the companies greatness. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/International-Trade-Explained-Audiobook/B0196YQYL4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

There are various different financial insights that are provided to assist individuals on building their own private equity. Overall enjoyable read as well. From empiric to theory and then back to practice: making money as one of Fifth Era essentials I know one of the authors of this book, Matthew Le Merle, for years as one of iconic members of Silicon Valley startup ecosystem: investor, advisor, speaker and a overall an inspiring person to interact with.. cold on the surface but very deep, open to new ideas and very enthusiastic inside.. so when this book was announced I couldn't wait to read it and see how Matthew's and his partner Alison's views of the world translate into a written word. The reading was truly engaging and exposed a whole new dimension to me: essentially Matthew and Alison showed readers the forest behind the trees and explained why the new era of Humankind development (what they call Fifth Era) is an enormous tectonic shift, where lots of ideas and activities are coming together as pieces of a big puzzle.. This era changes the way we work, the way we interact with friends, the way we learn, the way we build new values.. the way we do ANYTHING.. And, of course, this shift creates an amazing opportunity to make money while enjoying something innovative and fascinating. The book is full of examples and observations that are very convincing: we see where the Fifth Era opportunities start, we see how they can be structured and analyzed (Empiric turning to Theoretical), then we see how this aggregated deep knowledge can be turned back to practical recommendations to people who are willing to take a manageable risk and make the money via early-stage investments. Highly recommended as one of the must-read books of the caliber comparable to "Art of the Start" and "From Good to Great". Success in the fifth era? Become an entrepreneur! Exponential waves in history Even the large historical waves start to show exponential effects.Over 2 million years we were hunter gathers (Hunter-Gatherer Era), for over 10,000 years we were farmers (Agrarian Era), for 400 years we were traders (Mercantile Era), for about 200 years we have been industrialists (Industrial Era) and now we are about to move into the Fifth Era. Finding meaning in future trends The book is not far from a blog I wrote a year ago about trying to making future trends meaningful. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Sellout-Audiobook/B006IUY624 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Perkins Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 12-07-11 Publisher: HarperCollins Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 59 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: The ongoing tumult in financial markets and the global economy began when some of our most esteemed financial institutions, our government, and even average citizens abdicated their collective responsibilities, eventually selling out investors and selling off the American Dream itself. From critically acclaimed investigative journalist and CNBC personality Charles Gasparino comes a sweeping examination of the most volatile, anxiety-ridden era in our nation's socioeconomic history. The winner of the 2009 Investigative Reporters and Editors Award for Books, The Sellout traces the recent implosion of the financial-services business back to its roots in the late 1970s, when Wall Street embraced a new business model predicated on enormous risk. Gasparino reveals a startling trail of culpability - from the government bureaucrats who crafted housing policies to the Wall Street firms that underwrote and invested in risky debt, to the mortgage sellers who indiscriminately handed out loans, and finally to the homeowners who thought they could afford mansions on blue-collar wages. Critic Reviews: "The most comprehensive anecdotal account to date of the crisis....

The winner of the 2009 Investigative Reporters and Editors Award for Books, The Sellout traces the recent implosion of the financial-services business back to its roots in the late 1970s, when Wall Street embraced a new business model predicated on enormous risk. Gasparino reveals a startling trail of culpability - from the government bureaucrats who crafted housing policies to the Wall Street firms that underwrote and invested in risky debt, to the mortgage sellers who indiscriminately handed out loans, and finally to the homeowners who thought they could afford mansions on blue-collar wages. Critic Reviews: "The most comprehensive anecdotal account to date of the crisis.... Gasparino cuts his way through Wall Street rhetoric and in the process uncovers in considerable detail how blind profit-making ambition led to the destruction of the markets." (New York Review of Books) Members Reviews: It takes effort to distill the "big picture" In my opinion the book spends too much time profiling the personalities of those running the banks. No doubt their risk-taking and competitive personalities contributed to the near global meltdown. But that's just part of it. I wish there was more explanation of the system as a whole, more explanation of processes and terminology. The same concepts were repeatedly referred to in different terms. I found that confusing. The book would have been better with wider story arcs and wider perspective, and less focus on the day to day actions of individual players. Spellbinding! Would you listen to The Sellout again? Why? Excellent detail and structure laid out as a story, very well written. What about Thomas M. Perkinss performance did you like? Great voice and enunciation. Nails on a chalkboard Literally, every third sentence had a mispronounced word. It was absolutely infuriating. It's pronounced Saul-oh-man Brothers, not Salmon Brothers! Comprehensive History of the Securities Collapse What made the experience of listening to The Sellout the most enjoyable? The author was thorough in his research tracing mortgage backed securities, which many of us might assume to be recent inventions, back to their beginnings several decades ago up and the invention of 'junk bonds' created to buy out, break up and sell off highly successful companies purely for profit. The author also describes the personalities of traders as compulsive gamblers and the myriad factors that led up to the great fiscal collapse requiring the major banks and investment banks need to be bailed out or sold out. What did you like best about this story? It's a real history with amazing personalities and a culture of greed so pervasive that it's amazing it lasted as long as it did. If you could give The Sellout a new subtitle, what would it be? or.. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/eBay-Motors-Money-Machine-Audiobook/B011DDR32K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: eBay Motors Money Machine Subtitle: How I Make $500 a Week Selling Used Auto Parts on eBay Author: Master Mechanic Narrator: Joe Pocian Format: Unabridged Length: 30 mins Language: English Release date: 07-13-15 Publisher: Nicholas L Vulich Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Make $500 a week selling used auto parts on eBay! I'm going to tell you how I make $500 a week (usually much more) selling used auto parts on eBay. And, the great thing is that it's something anybody can do if they don't mind getting a little dirty or greasy. What I'm going to explain to you doesn't require a fancy education or previous experience selling on eBay. You don't even need to know anything about cars or car parts, really, but if you do it's a big plus that can help you make even more money. What got me started selling car parts? I had an old Mustang I always planned to restore. Then I got married. We had a kid, and the car sat there in the driveway gathering dust and complaints from the neighbors about it being an eyesore. Finally, I had enough and decided I'd try to sell it on Craigslist, but I didn't get any takers. I called the scrapyard. They offered me 100 bucks. I was pretty sure a few of the parts alone were worth more than that. Several days later, I got this crazy idea. What if I part it out on eBay? I was sure to get more than $100. Over the next three weeks, I pulled every part I could off of that car - shift knobs, shifter arm, distributor, glove box door, hood emblem, and window crank handle. You name a part, I put it up for sale, and the funny thing is - the parts sold. Someone paid me $33 for a window crank, $25 for the Mustang horse emblem, and $25 for the owner's manual. It was nuts! People emailed to ask if I had this or that part left. When I got their emails, I'd head back out to the car with my wrench and screwdriver to yank it out for them. I'd come back in the house and list the part on eBay for the agreed upon price. After three weeks, I'd sold close to $700 in parts from a car the junkyard offered a 100 bucks for. All I could think was, "I need another car." bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Master Mechanic) Mon, 13 Jul 2015 10:41:29 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/eBay-Motors-Money-Machine-Audiobook/B011DDR32K thebookvoice.com 00:30:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street Author: Karen Zouwen Ho Narrator: Cynthia Wallace Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 08-15-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Financial collapses - whether of the junk bond market, the Internet bubble, or the highly leveraged housing market-are often explained as the inevitable result of market cycles: What goes up must come down. In Liquidated, Karen Ho punctures the aura of the abstract, all-powerful market to show how financial markets, and particularly booms and busts, are constructed. Through an in-depth investigation into the everyday experiences and ideologies of Wall Street investment bankers, Ho describes how a financially dominant but highly unstable market system is understood, justified, and produced through the restructuring of corporations and the larger economy. Ho argues that bankers' approaches to financial markets and corporate America are inseparable from the structures and strategies of their workplaces. Recruited from elite universities as "the best and the brightest," investment bankers are socialized into a world of high risk and high reward. They are paid handsomely, with the understanding that they may be let go at any time. Their mission is the creation of shareholder value, but Ho demonstrates that their practices and assumptions often produce crises instead. By connecting the values and actions of investment bankers to the construction of markets and the restructuring of U.S. corporations, Liquidated reveals the particular culture of Wall Street often obscured by triumphalist readings of capitalist globalization. Critic Reviews: "Ho's refreshing ethnography of the daily lives of Wall Street investment bankers...outlines a web of practices, beliefs and structures that may be vital to understanding what keeps the market system in place despite built-in instabilities." (Publishers Weekly) "The book's great strength lies in Ho's careful observation of the means by which people succeed or fail on Wall Street, as she punctures many of the assumptions about how markets work." (Keir Martin, Times Literary Supplement) "Karen Ho embarked on her study in classic anthropological manner: by blending into the background, listening intently, in a non-judgmental way - and then trying to join up the dots to get a 'holistic' picture of how the culture works. That patient ethnographic analysis has produced a fascinating portrait that will be refreshingly novel to most bankers."

(Gillian Tett, Financial Times) Members Reviews: Good But Limited Karen Ho is an anthropologist who worked briefly for an investment bank on Wall Street in the 1990s. Her work was cut short by a downsizing, but she later returned to Wall Street to do field research for a PhD. Her topic: the culture of investment banking. Much of her research was based on interviews with relatively junior analysts and associates; eventually her dissertation was recycled into "Liquidated." The book is packed with interesting insider information about how investment bankers are recruited on Ivy League campuses, how they toil away like slaves in cubicles, and how their lives are warped by the values of greed, competition, and always looking smart. At one point the author says that investment bankers go through life "always looking for the next Harvard" -- which sums things up nicely. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Intellectual-Property-in-the-Information-Age-Audiobook/B002UZL1VA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not cutting edge What disappointed you about Intellectual Property in the Information Age? My project teams and I have to tackle IP issues every day, so I thought an academic primer on IP rights would be helpful. I was disappointed. The speaker has a very narrow and terribly incorrect view of his business clients. He says the only people who deal with IP are attorneys wearing green shades huddled by themselves in a corner of the law department. I guess he never gets out of his office much. It doesnt get any better. The content is just not practical for people who actually have to work or want to know more about dealing with IP rights. What didnt you like about the narrators performance? He was out of touch with the business world. a little outdated also did not feel the speaker was quite as good as the other Stanford professor I heard on this subject. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Doing-Business-in-China-Audiobook/B002V5H4F6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Put Your Money Where Your Heart Is Subtitle: Investment Strategies for Lifetime Wealth from a #1 Wall Street Stock Picker Author: Natalie Pace Narrator: Natalie Pace Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 11-20-14 Publisher: Women's Investment Network, LLC Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Put Your Money Where Your Heart Is offers a sensible, easy-to-follow yet powerful set of investing strategies for the would-be investor - from the complete novice to those with experience. Natalie Pace urges the reader to begin with an area of investing that they care about or know about, learning how to get rich by putting their money where their passions lie. Her method is based on a three-part investment recipe and a six-step "Buy My Own Island Plan", all presented in an informative and engaging style. In 2000, Natalie was a single mother about to lose her home because she couldn't afford to pay her property taxes. She never dreamed during those desperate hours that in two short years she would begin adding a splash of green to Wall Street, transforming lives on Main Street, and making outstanding returns for the men and women who were smart enough to put her theories into practice. Natalie maneuvered her way out of poverty and up above the ranks of Harvard-educated MBAs to become the number-one ranked stock picker on Wall Street. She shows us, through anecdotes and carefully outlined investing strategies, that making the transformation to a life of financial freedom and happiness is easier than one might think. Put Your Money Where Your Heart Is isn't just another personal finance book. Natalie's personal story as well as her credibility and expertise in the area of wealth building will inspire and delight readers, revealing her secrets to lifetime success and prosperity. Members Reviews: Great For The Beginner and Checkup For The Experienced For openers, the book is not only about investing but also about living a good and balanced life. For that alone it deserved kudos, but there is much more. A number of other reviewers question how Natalie's "simplistic" approach can be valid when the investor must compete in a market filled with the best and the brightest ( or at least the most well compensated). Thankfully the market has given us the answer in that the wizards of Wall Street are capable of group think, greed and folly that would not pass the smell test among common people. The next time you hear someone in a press conference or congressional hearing saying "nobody saw this coming" know that it is simply not true. Andrew Lahde predicted the financial meltdown from the collapse of the housing market to the financial crash with amazing accuracy (an built a highly successful fund), Prof. Cauley at UCLA repeatedly showed why the housing market had to crash in presentations to the financial world for a number of years and as we saw from the hearings one analyst took only a few hours to understand that Madoff was a fraud but could not get the SEC to act despite years of trying and overwhelming evidence. Ms Pace's approach to a simple rating of companies produces results. Were I editing her work I would place even greater emphasis on the evaluation of the company culture and ethics. Is there strong, visionary leadership or a series of slash and burn execs armed with options and parachutes. How would Sun Tzu evaluate the management team? What would John Wooden say? I was stunned to receive a note from Harvard that they had managed to loose 1/3 of their endowment, before the recent market selloff. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Whos-Your-City-Audiobook/B003XX3MXI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Whos Your City? Subtitle: How the Creative Economy Is Making Where to Live the Most Important Decision of Your Life Author: Richard Florida Narrator: Mark Boyett Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 08-02-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 42 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: All places are not created equal. In this groundbreaking book, Richard Florida shows that where we live is increasingly a crucial factor in our lives, one that fundamentally affects our professional and personal prospects. As well as explaining why place matters now more than ever, Who's Your City? provides indispensable tools to help you choose the right place for you. It's a cliche of the information age that globalization has made place irrelevant, that one can telecommute as effectively from New Zealand as New York. But it's not true, Richard Florida argues, relying on 20 years of innovative research in urban studies, creativity, and demographic trends. In fact, as new units of economic growth called mega-regions become increasingly specialized, the world is becoming more and more spiky divided between flourishing clusters of talent, education and competitiveness, and moribund valleys. All these places have personalities, Richard Florida explains in the second half of Who's Your City?, and happiness depends on finding the city in which you can balance your personal and career goals to thrive. More people than ever before now have the opportunity to choose where to live, but at different points in our lives we need different kinds of places, he points out. What a couple of recent college graduates want from their city isn't necessarily what a retiree is looking for. You have to find the place that suits you best: a boho-burb neighborhood isn't likely to be the best fit for patio man. Sparkling with Richard Florida's signature intellectual originality, Who's Your City? moves from insights to studies to personal anecdotes, to surprising data on the difference aesthetics makes to people's sense of place. A perceptive and transformative book, it is both a brilliant exploration of the fundamental importance of place and an essential guide to making what may be the most important decision of your life. Critic Reviews: "The book is a superb treatise on the location paradox: the idea that as the world becomes more mobile, the more decisive location becomes...We learn why San Francisco is the best city for young singles; why Washington D.C. is the best place to raise kids; and why New York City is one of the top spots for retirees.

Something to look forward to!" (BusinessWeek) Members Reviews: Not worth reading This book offers nothing original and left me feeling frustrated that I stayed with it. Disappointing The narration is a little fast, but the content is what I found disappointing. The author has noticed patterns of various kinds of people who end up living around cities. Late in the book he brings in some ideas about psychological types. Nowhere does he help the reader decide what type we might be. Also he loses steam before he gets to seniors. Maybe he will write something else to clear all this up. Things is what they is. If you're going to find a job, a house, nice schools, etc. you're going to have to do the research and visit the places. Meanwhile, take your sweetie out to dinner and then think about spending money on this book. You can learn almost everything on the website anyway. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-China-Price-Audiobook/B002V8KU2M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The China Price Subtitle: The True Cost of Chinese Competitive Advantage Author: Alexandra Harney Narrator: Karen White Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 04-08-08 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 65 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: In a country with almost no transparency, where graft is institutionalized and workers have little recourse to the rule of law, incentives to lie about business practices vastly outweigh incentives to tell the truth. Harney reveals that despite a decade of monitoring factories, outsiders all too often have no idea of the conditions under which goods from China are made. She exposes the widespread practice of using a dummy or model factory as a company's false window out to the world, concealing a vast number of illegal factories operating completely off the books. Some Western companies are better than others about sniffing out such deception, but too many are perfectly happy to embrace plausible deniability as long as the prices remain so low. And in the Gold Rush atmosphere that has infected the country, in which everyone is clamoring to get rich and corruption is rampant, it's almost impossible for the Chinese government's own underfunded regulatory mechanisms to do much good at all. But perhaps the most important revelation in The China Price is how fast change is coming, one way or another. Critic Reviews: "A vivid portrait of factory life in the country that sells consumer goods for the lowest price possible."

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Thoroughly Research, Balanced Account This book is very thoroughly researched -- unlike many journalists who write about China, it is clear the author both speaks Chinese and has a good understanding of the culture and history. Furthermore, it is a very balanced account - neither demonizing Walmart, the Chinese government, nor factory owners, but provides a good understanding of how each part fits into the big picture. Personally, I found the level of detail just right and the anecdotes very revealing. This book is Garbage Propaganda This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Marxists, Socialists, Stupid people Has The China Price turned you off from other books in this genre? Yes What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment and a little anger that I bought this book. Don't trust the other reviews. They don't know what they are talking about. Any additional comments? This book is anti-capitalist propaganda. It's written by a journalist with no economic insight. They blame capitalism and free trade on everything. The focus is on the exploitation of third world workers though. The author blames global warming, job loss, and chinese worker not getting paid enough on capitalism and free trade. It is seriously typical socialist garbage. Get a book that is more centered on economics. Otherwise, you'll just be misinformed by this fear monger. Good Insight I thought this book gave a good insight into China's market. my only issue was that the book is a little outdated buy now and would like to know how things are looking these days. The book makes it seem like China is moving towards playing by the book and being more fair, but now we know they steal all their info, just think google and the enforcement still sucks. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Monetary-Policy-Audiobook/B004CH6AO2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Jason knows insurance, but more importantly he understands marketing and sales.

Jason has provided a roadmap filled with practical ideas and humor to give you and your agency and edge. The one think that I can promise you is that Jason is passionate about serving others in the insurance industry. He cares and this book wraps up his wisdom and sprinkles it with passion to make it a must read. Loaded with practical ideas for today's insurance agent A must for every independent agent !!! Practical ideas for today's insurance agent to be able to continue to compete against the threat of online competition. Jason gives great actionable tips on how agents can embrace technology and other "non" technical tactics to help drive growth and retention. A couple of my favorite quotes: "The agents who come out on top will be those who are most responsive to new ideas" "Communicate with customers by electronically funneling all conversations to your management system through digital platforms such as text, email and social media" Regarding an agency website: --- "Images and videos should also be prominently featured. Incorporate real pictures and background information on your agency and staff, a component thatâs shown to be critical in customer engagement." -- "Unlike online-only insurance companies, you have the advantage of creating personal relationships with customers. Assigning a face to a name is one extra step thatâll set you apart." -- "Itâs time to stop thinking of your website as a digital business card and start thinking of it as a customer conversion system." -- "A website is one of the most important tools your agency has. If used properly, it can turn opportunities into leads and leads into paying customers" Advice that hits all the right notes As a longtime daily newspaper executive editor (later in marketing/PR), I always passed along advice to reporters that my mentor give me: Make your story sing and know when the music is over. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Stupid-White-Menand-Other-Sorry-Excuses-for-the-State-of-the-Nation-Audiobook/B002V1K0JM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

When the government was running at a surplus, pollution was disappearing, peace was breaking out in the Middle East and Northern Ireland, and the Bridge to the Twenty-First Century was strung with high-speed Internet cable and paved with 401K gold? Well, so much for the future. Michael Moore, the award-winning provocateur behind Roger & Me and the best seller Downsize This!, now returns to size up the new century - and that big, ugly special-interest group that's laying waste to the world as we know it: stupid white men. Whether he's calling for United Nations action to overthrow the Bush Family Junta, begging African-Americans to place "whites only" signs over the entrances of unfriendly businesses, or praying that Jesse Helms will get kissed by a man, Stupid White Men is Mike's Manifesto on Malfeasance and Mediocrity. Among his targets: Critic Reviews: "The latest appraisal of contemporary American society by a popular and iconoclastic commentator." (Booklist) "As fulminating and crammed with infuriating facts as any right-wing best seller, as irreverent as The Onion, and as noisily entertaining as a wrestling smackdown."

(Amazon.com) Members Reviews: Frustrated: oversimplifing and diluting of issues Moore makes insightful and valid points in a clear cut and easy to digest manner. As ambitious as he is however, Moore lacks comprehensive argument in the issues at hand by oversimplifing or diluting problems to mere type-specific groups and/or distinctions. His tendency to portray America's problems from a tight box of labels such as Black vs White or rich vs poor is fractioned, contrived, and prejudiced even as they attempt the fight those very things. This can undermine the legitimacy of his arguments and serve as a barrier for acknowledgement. Post-BFC, Moore has earned a great amount of authority over what will typically be seen as the "Liberal/Leftist" cause (especially to younger generations), with this added responsibility, it is essential that he reflect a more encompassing view of our society's problems and their vehicles. This audio piece is well worth listening to as long as it does not become the say-all of our solutions: a good introduction. I Wish Moore Himself had Narrated This What prevented me from giving this book a higher rating was the narration, which seemed to me to frequently miss the tone of delivery that Moore himself tends to impart to his text. This doesn't make it bad, just not what you might expect to hear, if you're fond of Moore's films or TV Nation or the like. I found that I didn't get the feeling of "What the hell's going on here?" humor that I was hoping to. Why didn't Michael Moore read this himself? The content of this book is great. Explosive, funny, provocative. I just whish Michael Moore had read the book himself for this audio version. His personality plays such a great role in delilvering his humor. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Blockchain-Audiobook/B01NBE26PQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Blockchain Subtitle: Easiest Ultimate Guide to Understand Blockchain Author: Jared Norton Narrator: J. Alexander Format: Unabridged Length: 55 mins Language: English Release date: 11-30-16 Publisher: Aivaras Lukauskas Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Nobody likes banks and, for a lot of people, it's for good reason. You go to the teller window five minutes before closing time and she won't acknowledge you because she just wants to close up and go home. Your Paypal account is tied to the banking system and they may yank your account access simply because you got an unusually large payment for something you sold on eBay. You wonder if the homeless aren't caught in some kind of Catch-22 where they can't get access to a decent apartment without a bank account and can't get a bank account without a photo ID that includes their home address. All of these are good points that could be solved with a new digital currency called Bitcoin. Bitcoin is always open for business and won't ignore you even when you want to use it to have a pizza delivered at two in the morning. It won't shut you out simply because you received a transaction worth thousands of dollars from someone buying your car. If you want to use it, literally all you need to do is download the wallet on a laptop or tablet. This is made possible by technology that doesn't care about much of anything except whether you have a device that can link to the Internet even if it means soaking up the free Wi-Fi at the coffee shop and the ability to copy-and-paste a string of letters and numbers or scan a QR code. It's called the Blockchain, a decentralized ledger that keeps track of debits and credits for all Bitcoin users. There are many ways that the Blockchain can benefit entrepreneurs beyond the fact that it's associated with a currency that makes fraudulent chargebacks impossible. It can be used for many applications that require a reliable and tamper-resistant means of record-keeping. It can be used to give you a competitive edge in a world where the economy is becoming increasingly global and customers increasingly care about how their goods are produced and can hop from one thing to the next pretty fast. If you're looking at the Blockchain, you probably have a few questions that this book will answer for you. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Jared Norton) Wed, 30 Nov 2016 01:54:05 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Blockchain-Audiobook/B01NBE26PQ thebookvoice.com 00:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I didn't like anything about this book. I Hated It.. Would you ever listen to anything by Robbie Burns again? Never Again. How could the performance have been better? Focus more on the subject, less on tea and toast, and stop Trying to be witty. Who do you think would benefit most from listening to The Naked Trader? Perhaps British folks who can tolerate his humor. Any additional comments? A very British book written by a very British Author. Perhaps the Brits can appreciate this book but this American could have done better buying something else. Full of British colloquialisms. There does appear to be some useful information, but not at all worth what I paid for it. What a gem! I felt I was taking a bit of a chance on this one (I'm not English and I don't trade on the FTSE), but what a great listen this turned out to be. The material in this book is so practical (some would say obvious but I don't agree). There are no hidden catches and he definitely paints the picture warts and all. It is filled with practical advice and 'real' examples of traps and pitfalls... all the time compelling me to trade smart. Thanks Robbie, you're a POM, but nice work! Dated, not very useful for the American Markets. A british book written around 1997. Not enough discussion of the American stock markets to be useful to a US trader. There's a lot to learn... As someone of average intelligence, who has worked in finance my whole life, I didn't realise just how little I knew about the world of trading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/International-Political-Economics-Explained-Audiobook/B0193Z1X4Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: FREE Subtitle: The Future of a Radical Price Author: Chris Anderson Narrator: Chris Anderson Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-09 Publisher: Hyperion Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: The New York Times best-selling author heralds the future of business in Free. In his revolutionary best seller, The Long Tail, Chris Anderson demonstrated how the online marketplace creates niche markets, allowing products and consumers to connect in a way that has never been possible before. Now, in Free, he makes the compelling case that, in many instances, businesses can profit more from giving things away than they can by charging for them. Far more than a promotional gimmick, Free is a business strategy that may well be essential to a company's survival. The costs associated with the growing online economy are trending toward zero at an incredible rate. Never in the course of human history have the primary inputs to an industrial economy fallen in price so fast and for so long. Just think that in 1961 a single transistor cost $10; now Intel's latest chip has two billion transistors and sells for $300 (or 0.000015 cents per transistor - effectively too cheap to price). The traditional economics of scarcity just don't apply to bandwidth, processing power, and hard-drive storage. Yet this is just one engine behind the new Free, a reality that goes beyond a marketing gimmick or a cross-subsidy. Anderson also points to the growth of the reputation economy; explains different models for unleashing the power of Free; and shows how to compete when your competitors are giving away what you're trying to sell. In Free, Chris Anderson explores this radical idea for the new global economy and demonstrates how this revolutionary price can be harnessed for the benefit of consumers and businesses alike. Critic Reviews: "As in Anderson's previous book, the thought-provoking material is matched by a delivery that is nothing short of scintillating."

Anderson also points to the growth of the reputation economy; explains different models for unleashing the power of Free; and shows how to compete when your competitors are giving away what you're trying to sell. In Free, Chris Anderson explores this radical idea for the new global economy and demonstrates how this revolutionary price can be harnessed for the benefit of consumers and businesses alike. Critic Reviews: "As in Anderson's previous book, the thought-provoking material is matched by a delivery that is nothing short of scintillating." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Excellent Explanation for Using Free as a Financial Model This is a really good book on how the digital era has ended up offering digital products for free. The use of free as a business model has always been around but now many more traditional businesses have gone under due to the demand of a free model on the internet. Anderson explains how wealthy corporations have made money offering free products and selling a premium model, advertising, and selling support for the free products. Interesting discussion of free journalism and the collapse of newspapers and professional journalists. I wonder if he ever anticipated the rise of fake journalism and a country infiltrating others with it. Not in this book. Insightful book into an issue that you make not give a lot of thought to In his book "Free: The Future of a Radical Price," Chris Anderson sheds light on an interesting transition in the marketplace. By giving away something for free, the result will be continuous purchases to supplement this "free" product. Anderson highlights how this model began with disposable razors and has been adapted to today's products such as video game consoles/games, coffee makers, and cell phones. Now the web is driving more and more products to become "free." We are seeing free products popping up all over the internet in terms of music and movies. Google services, such as GMail, are all free. Anderson does a great job of explaining how an application that is digitally based is inevitably headed towards being free. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Lombard-Street-Audiobook/B0036G5CPI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Banking and institutional history fans may like it Bagehot was a ground-breaking writer on things financial and economic. This work was a landmark I believe in the formation of 20th-century concepts of banking, and central banking in particular. Those who enjoyed "The Bankers Who Broke the World" might like this, though this is drier. I liked the cadence of this fine, sober English prose. Specialist interest Excellent reading by narrator. Of course this is a famous book. So anyone who reads it probably already interested in finance. Precise, elegant language of author is a pleasure. And his dry observation interesting and amusing. But its alo a bit tedious at times despite being of modest length. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Long-Tail-Audiobook/B0032NAKQ6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: It is true: "Sh*t happens!" (frequently) What made the experience of listening to The Long Tail the most enjoyable? The listening experience was good. What does Christopher Nissley bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Nissley kept me focussed and did not allow to dose off. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The book strengthened what was already obvious for daily experience. Any additional comments? I recommend the book strongly to policy makers, corporate boards and project managers alike. Change your focus on your business approach!! REally interesting approach to a different way of business. In a way it gives some clues on how to address business in the internet era... It focuses a bit too much on Google (the author seems fascinated at some point in time) but it helps to open your mind to new ways of thinking. In some chapters, it seemed aligned and complimentary to the "Blue Ocean Strategy" An important book This is a really important read for anyone in or thinking about business in the 21st century. The key points here are put across very clearly: the internet allows businesses to carry a virtually unlimited range of things and supply them to a virtually unlimited range of niche markets. That the future belongs to the 'aggregators' (the Amazons carrying their unlimited stock) and the 'connectors' (the Googles connecting demand with supply) is likely. However, for my money, Anderson makes a fundamental mistake. He includes the producer as the third group to benefit from the 'long tail'. In the post 'hit' world that Anderson proposes, the new, democratised, individual producer will benefit. The problem is, he won't - and the examples that Anderson cites of creative individuals exploiting the 'long tail' are everything but. They are, in fact, examples of individuals who have used viral and guerrilla tactics to work their way into, guess what? The mainstream. In order to, guess what? Sell lots of albums or win mainstream TV air-time. In short, to achieve 'hit' status. This for me is the weakness of this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/A-Macat-Analysis-of-Blue-Ocean-Strategy-Audiobook/B01HQR263I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: amazing this book has open my eyes to a new world. The life that I live to the life I want mostly network markating many points are rehashed from His book, Now You Know. Good points and i would suggest that book unless you are working in pyramid sales. Excellent read anyone can relate to What a great book and even better on audio. Listen to this a few times a year and take notes each time. Share this with your team! the best!!! I finished this book in a day and a half. It will change your life. Thank you!!! Best network marketing book by far! I have been in network marketing for a little over two years now. As we all know, starting off in network marketing is difficult for those who have no experience. Most people quit within their first year. I would highly recommend this book for anyone starting out. The story gives you a complete and accurate representation of how building your business really is. Every aspect of the business is covered. I am sure that I will listen to this book several more times as it is just that good. For anyone that has been in network marketing for anytime, you know that over time your ambition and discipline tend to fade away as you build the business. We often times need motivation to get us excited again and continue building. This book is something that can be used for that motivation to get you back in the saddle again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/When-Rice-Shakes-the-World-Audiobook/B00M892BY4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Today the food and agricultural markets of India and China are in motion. The history of agricultural change is littered with hunger, poverty, and failure. Will that curse pass itself on to this Asian generation? Or is there a brighter future ahead of us? Now China is rapidly becoming the wealthiest country in the world. China's water shortages and its rice market are fault lines that finger their way beneath the surface of the world economy. These fault lines are sending out tremors that could shake the entire world in the next few years. Rice is a little grain, but a big deal in Asia. The Great Wall of China is cemented together with sticky rice. It uses up to 70 percent of the water resources of China. Rice's 200,000,000 farms feed 3,000,000,000 people. Yet it is grown on an area the size of France. Rice is the social cement of Asia and the rice farms of Asia may crack that ancient cement. This audiobook explains the ancient yet curiously modern story of rice that binds feudal farms to the new super cities across China. At the center of this story is the rice farmer, whose backbreaking labor feeds millions. In the next 15 years, millions of farmers must transition from landless serfs into modern business people skilled in all the technologies and versed in market risk. The rice world lies on the dark side of this digital Earth. But that world is turning rapidly toward the light. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Milo Hamilton) Wed, 30 Jul 2014 16:16:41 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/When-Rice-Shakes-the-World-Audiobook/B00M892BY4 thebookvoice.com 04:08:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The Great Wall of China is cemented together with sticky rice. It uses up to 70 percent of the water resources of China. Rice's 200,000,000 farms feed 3,000,000,000 people. Yet it is grown on an area the size of France. Rice is the social cement of Asia and the rice farms of Asia may crack that ancient cement. This audiobook explains the ancient yet curiously modern story of rice that binds feudal farms to the new super cities across China. At the center of this story is the rice farmer, whose backbreaking labor feeds millions. In the next 15 years, millions of farmers must transition from landless serfs into modern business people skilled in all the technologies and versed in market risk. The rice world lies on the dark side of this digital Earth. But that world is turning rapidly toward the light. Members Reviews: Perhaps worth two hours of your time This is not a very informative book. The author spends most of the book on what he would like to see but very little on the economics and trading of rice. The one thing I did learn as a novice who wants to learn more about trading agricultural commodities is that rice is the last think you want to trade. It's an extremely shallow market that is manipulated by several governments in Asia. Very informative Mr. Hamilton writes from a perspective few people in the world can match because of his extensive experience in the rice business . His premise that when the U.S. exports grain to China, that it is really exporting water is a fascinating concept . Also, the need for a viable rice futures market in Asia and free trade in the world rice markets as outlined in the book is well explained in a compelling manner . Rice is important to the security of the world When I received the book, I read the entire book that day. Milo in my opinion gives a glance into the future. Everyone should listen to Milo as he has a terrific incite when it comes to rice and what it means to countries and their security and to the future security of the world. I highly recommend this book. Must read Great incite to international grain markets, exchanges, property rights and water usage. Would highly recommend it for anyone involved in rice farm ownership, production and marketing.

It's like sitting on your grandfathers lap and listening to him teach through telling stories about days past. Full of insights Great listen. Intelligent and witty arguments. I have over a hundred audio books in my library but this is the first review I've ever written. That's how much I liked it. life changing, if you can see it coming. Such a great book, I have listened many times now and take something new away each time. Thank you Charles! Thought provoking and life changing A fabulous manifesto for the future and a great stimulus for personal transformation. Loved it A great business philosopher I've been reading Handy for 40 years, from his first book to this. He has always has an uncanny ability to tap into emerging zeitgeist not be offering "solutions" but by framing great questions. Once we escape the cages of our own preconceptions, the answers are accessible to us.

Title: The Next Economic Disaster Subtitle: Why It's Coming and How to Avoid It Author: Richard Vague Narrator: Charles Kabala Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 01-29-15 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Current debates about economic crises typically focus on the role that public debt and debt-fueled public spending play in economic growth. This illuminating and provocative work shows that it is the rapid expansion of private rather than public debt that constrains growth and sparks economic calamities like the financial crisis of 2008. Relying on the findings of a team of economists, credit expert Richard Vague argues that the Great Depression of the 1930s, the economic collapse of the past decade, and many other sharp downturns around the world were all preceded by a spike in privately-held debt. Vague presents an algorithm for predicting crises and argues that China may soon face disaster. Since American debt levels have not declined significantly since 2008, Vague believes that economic growth in the United States will suffer unless banks embrace a policy of debt restructuring. All informed citizens, but especially those interested in economic policy and history, will want to contend with Vague's distressing arguments and evidence. The book is published by University of Pennsylvania Press. Critic Reviews: "Richard Vague's voice should not be ignored. His emphasis on the dangers of rising private household debt is a key both to the last crisis and the next." (Ed Luce, Financial Times) "[Y]ou need to read this book. Packed with insightful analysis, it is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how we got onto the road to financial ruin-and how to avoid the next disaster."

(Liaquat Ahamed, author of Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World) Members Reviews: Maybe I'm not getting the point fully, but ... ... I'm under the impression that the solution here is basically a few accounting adjustments. If it was that straightforward, were all these bubbles and crashes, lo these last 400 years, a lot simpler than we thought? I admire the author's good intentions. The explanations of the problems at the outset were also good. Maybe it's just me -- but I can't see how this would prevent people engineering new ways to fall into the same ditch again, as they seem prone to do. I'm more inclined to go with what is being tried -- macro-prudential regulation to be sure systemically important firms are identified and watched, and forced to have a more sound financial and risk management structure. And if they do crash, a fast-track way to get control of them and do a resolution. That is, if it isn't all undone in the next couple years, which I think, politically, is quite possible. Then it's off the races again. But maybe it would be anyway, people being so inclined to run toward that ditch, and find loopholes to get there, the short-term incentives being what they are. And I don't see how this proposal changes those incentives. Great concise listen After listening to the thesis that private debt caused the crashes of history. It makes total sense. The solution seems oversimplified, but I'm sure would help to have the banks have more skin the game. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Ethereum-for-Beginners-Audiobook/B077BKFMLH Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For the IT professionals, or the technology enthusiasts, this is a great primer on the crypto-currency called Ethereum. It does have a lot of buzz words and technical jargon, but I thought it was still relatively concise, and informative. If you aren't interested in something as esoteric as crypto-currency, this is probably not the book for you. NOT for beginners NOT for beginners. Most of it totally flew by me. It was really dull as well so that didnt help. Its hard to listen to and wade through. The narration was decent enough. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review. Seems more like a pamplet in audiobook form What I knew about ethereum before I listened to this......... --(space intentionally left blank for the record) What I know now about ethereum... --it is not bitcoin Im not sure if it was just me but most of the book went over my head after the first section. It was pretty dry and seemed more like a sales pitch than any real informational book. If you already know a touch about it this book might fill you in on more of what its planned to grow into and how its going to go about that. If you however are like me and were just mildly curious about why everyone was so hyped for crypto currency.......you may be disappointed. I received this book in return for a fair and honest review For those with existing bitcoin knowledge Depending on how you define a beginner this book may or may not suit. It's not really for anyone who has heard of Ethereum or it's digital current ETH and is just wanting to know more, but is instead for someone who already has a strong understanding of digital currencies and distributed computing and is a beginner for Ethereum only. The book opens with buzz-word and technical jargon and doesn't let up. It explains some things, but presumes you have a solid understanding on the topic to begin with and is just filling in specifics for this particular brand. It goes through the history of ETH's creation, followed by some of the advantages of it over other similar systems. So if you have dealt with Bitcoin, but are interested in Ethereum, then this book is aimed at you. If you are wondering what digital currencies are and how to get into them then go for something else. Narration by Stephen Paul Aulridge Jr. is good. Well paced and easy to follow. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-High-beta-Rich-Audiobook/B005ZHRKQU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Starting in the early 1980s the top one percent broke away from the rest of us to become the most unstable force in the economy. An elite that had once been the flat line on the American income charts - models of financial propriety - suddenly set off on a wild ride of economic binges. Not only do they control more than a third of the country's wealth, their increasing vulnerability to the booms and busts of the stock market wreak havoc on our consumer economy, financial markets, communities, employment opportunities, and government finances. Robert Frank's insightful analysis provides the disturbing big picture of high-beta wealth. His vivid storytelling brings you inside the mortgaged mansions, blown-up balance sheets, repossessed Bentleys and Gulfstreams, and wrecked lives and relationships: Robert Franks stories and analysis brilliantly show that the emergence of the high-beta rich is not just a high-class problem for the rich. High-beta wealth has national consequences: Americas dependence on the rich + great volatility among the rich = a more volatile America. Cycles of wealth are now much faster and more extreme. The rich are a new Potemkin Plutocracy and the important lessons and consequences are brought to light of day in this engrossing book.

Politicians need to quit worshipping the rich and read this book, and then they need to pass a law that caps all political contributions at $500 or less. high beta read Robert Frank is the wealth reporter for the WSJ, where he writes the wealth blog, and is also the author of the 2008 book Richistan. Reading The High-Beta Rich is good fun, as who doesn't like to hear about former billionaires reduced to cleaning their own toilets and shopping at Marshalls. Frank hangs The High-Beta Rich on both stories and data, and he is a good story-teller. The underlying data story is the degree to which the income, and therefore spending, of the wealthy fluctuates. Today's rich are different from the previous wealthy class, as most of the recent big fortunes were made by way of financial manipulation as opposed to the traditional route of building a company over many years (or through inheritance). The formerly mega-wealthy that Frank profiles made their millions (or billions) by borrowing large sums of money, and as often as not investing this borrowed money in overpriced real estate development schemes. As quickly as the sub-prime bubble burst, they were forced to lay-off the armies of butlers and private chefs that they had accumulated during the financial and housing bubble. The fallout of the rapid declines in the wealth of many previous top-earners is not however limited to the yacht and mansion set, as many municipalities (read Aspen) and employees (read most of us), have grown to depend on the tax dollars and spending of the rich. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/How-to-Complete-a-BPO-Audiobook/B0118GWC4G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Short Selling Subtitle: Money Author: iMinds Narrator: Emily Sophie Knapp Format: Unabridged Length: 7 mins Language: English Release date: 11-17-10 Publisher: iMinds Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Learn about short selling with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. Short selling is the practice of selling borrowed stock at a high price and then buying back the stock at a lower price. A short seller expects to profit from the fall in a stock's price. The more common investment practice is to go long, that is, to buy stock with the expectation of the price rising in the future. Simply put, a short transaction sells high and buys low, while a long transaction buys low and sells high. A basic example is as follows. An investor believes that Company A stock is overpriced at $60 per share. The investor then borrows 100 shares and sells them for $6,000. The price of Company A's shares then fall to $20. The investor buys 100 shares at $20 for $2,000. The investor then returns the shares that have been borrowed and makes a $4,000 profit. iMinds will hone your financial knowledge with its insightful series looking at topics related to Money, Investment and Finance.

Title: China Shakes the World Subtitle: A Titan's Rise and Troubled Future - and the Challenge for America Author: James Kynge Narrator: Robert Blumenfeld Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 01-20-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: "Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world." Napoleon's words seem eerily prescient today, as the shock waves from China's awakening reverberate across the globe. In China Shakes the World, the former China bureau chief of the Financial Times, James Kynge, traces these tremors from Beijing to Europe to the Midwest as China's ravenous hunger for jobs, raw materials, energy, and food - and its export of goods, workers, and investments - drastically reshape world trade and politics. Delving beyond mere recitation of by-now-familiar statistics, Kynges on-the-ground reporting provides alternative explanations for China's explosive transformation, revealing many of the usual reasons given for its growth to be myths. Most important for the future, he details China's deep, systemic weaknesses - rampant fraud, crippling environmental crises, a corrupt banking system, faltering government institutions, a rapidly aging population - that threaten even greater global disruptions. And he demonstrates the profound consequences of those weaknesses for American manufacturers, oil companies, banks, and ordinary consumers. Through dramatic stories of entrepreneurs and visionaries, factory workers and store clerks at the heart of this global phenomenon, China Shakes the World explains how China's breakneck rise occurred, the extraordinary problems the country now faces, and the consequences of both for the 21st century. Critic Reviews: "Kynge's crisp assessment of the dynamics involved is both authoritative and eye-opening." (Publishers Weekly) "Should the U.S. worry about China?

(Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Details behind today's headlines Would you listen to China Shakes the World again? Why? While very interesting, I would not want to listen to it AGAIN. Who was your favorite character and why? Story about the rise of China. Not really character oriented. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It's far too long for that. Any additional comments? Written about 2007, it gives reasonably current insight into China. Understand the global economy Even though a decade old the book provides insight into a global culture shift in the way goods and services will be offered. A great listen to expand fundamental economic outlook for generations to come. The read was in my wish list for quite some time, wish I would have pulled the trigger earlier. Happy listening. Must read to understand of today's China I last visited China in 1999. You could feel the change in the air. Kynge captures the tempo and the drive of China. To understand what the Chinese approach to life and competition, is to know how to counter the actions. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Climate-Shock-Audiobook/B00Y1HMVGE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Climate Shock Subtitle: The Economic Consequences of a Hotter Planet Author: Gernot Wagner, Martin L. Weitzman Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 06-09-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 46 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: If you had a 10-percent chance of having a fatal car accident, you'd take necessary precautions. If your finances had a 10-percent chance of suffering a severe loss, you'd reevaluate your assets. So if we know the world is warming and there's a 10-percent chance this might eventually lead to a catastrophe beyond anything we could imagine, why aren't we doing more about climate change right now? We insure our lives against an uncertain future - why not our planet? In Climate Shock Gernot Wagner and Martin Weitzman explore in lively, clear terms the likely repercussions of a hotter planet, drawing on and expanding from work previously unavailable to general audiences. They show that the longer we wait to act, the more likely it is that an extreme event will happen. A city might go underwater. What we know about climate change is alarming enough. What we don't know about the extreme risks could be far more dangerous. Wagner and Weitzman help listeners understand that we need to think about climate change in the same way that we think about insurance - as a risk-management problem, only here on a global scale. Demonstrating that climate change can and should be dealt with - and what could happen if we don't do so - Climate Shock tackles the defining environmental and public policy issue of our time. Critic Reviews: "Grover Gardner, one of the most accomplished and experienced audiobook performers, presents the authors' clear-eyed and broad-ranging economic analysis of the consequences of climate change.... As always, Gardner's voice is clear and perfectly paced. He provides the listener with the time to absorb new ideas without seeming too slow. A great narration of an important book."

So if we know the world is warming and there's a 10-percent chance this might eventually lead to a catastrophe beyond anything we could imagine, why aren't we doing more about climate change right now? We insure our lives against an uncertain future - why not our planet? In Climate Shock Gernot Wagner and Martin Weitzman explore in lively, clear terms the likely repercussions of a hotter planet, drawing on and expanding from work previously unavailable to general audiences. They show that the longer we wait to act, the more likely it is that an extreme event will happen. A city might go underwater. What we know about climate change is alarming enough. What we don't know about the extreme risks could be far more dangerous. Wagner and Weitzman help listeners understand that we need to think about climate change in the same way that we think about insurance - as a risk-management problem, only here on a global scale. Demonstrating that climate change can and should be dealt with - and what could happen if we don't do so - Climate Shock tackles the defining environmental and public policy issue of our time. Critic Reviews: "Grover Gardner, one of the most accomplished and experienced audiobook performers, presents the authors' clear-eyed and broad-ranging economic analysis of the consequences of climate change.... As always, Gardner's voice is clear and perfectly paced. He provides the listener with the time to absorb new ideas without seeming too slow. A great narration of an important book."

The book takes the economics of uncertainty into account when explaining how the world ought to react to the unknowns of climate change.

Murder for hire. Drug trafficking. Embezzlement. Money laundering.

Members Reviews: Very interesting Very good book that tells both sides of the story of bitcoin. It had me realize the value of studying further with its core blockchain Great book! Now I understand what a crypto currency is, it's origins and the various technologies behind it. I recommend this book as the best start to understanding this new thing. Good book for beginners Unfortunately most of this information is rather basic & freely available elsewhere. I was hoping I'd learn a lot more. If you're new to Cryptocurrencies then this book does have plenty to offer. There's an excellent account of the history of Bitcoin & the rise & fall & rise of digital currency. I felt that the book catered toward the beginner & sadly I learned nothing from it. Informative, well written and educational A great way to go from zero if not to hero, then at least to informed. Authoritative, balanced and well written, this is a really good first book on the subject for the curious. Fantastic educational audiobook. A great introduction to bitcoin, ether etc. fully recommend. The language is not overly techy and always on message. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Sellout-Audiobook/B071HJC1WW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Sellout Subtitle: How Washington Gave Away America's Technological Soul, and One Man's Fight to Bring It Home Author: Victoria Bruce Narrator: Tom Parks Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: The story of one citizen's fight to preserve a US stake in the future of clean energy and the elements essential to high-tech industries and national defense. American technological prowess used to be unrivaled. But because of globalization, and with the blessing of the US government, once proprietary materials, components, and technologies are increasingly commercialized outside the United States. Nowhere is this more dangerous than in China's monopoly of rare earth elements - materials that are essential for nearly all modern consumer goods, gadgets, and weapons systems. Jim Kennedy is a retired securities portfolio manager who bought a bankrupt mining operation. The mine was rich in rare earth elements, but he soon discovered that China owned the entire global supply and manufacturing chain. Worse, no one in the federal government cared. Dismayed by this discovery, Jim made a plan to restore America's rare earth industry. His plan also allowed technology companies to manufacture rare earth-dependent technologies in the United States again and develop safe, clean nuclear energy. For years Jim lobbied Congress, the Pentagon, and the White House Office of Science and Technology and traveled the globe to gain support. Exhausted, down hundreds of thousands of dollars, and with his wife at her wits' end, at the start of 2017 Jim sat on the edge of victory, held his breath, and bet it all that his government would finally do the right thing. Like Beth Macy's Factory Man, this is the story of one man's efforts to stem the dehumanizing tide of globalization and Washington's reckless inaction. Jim's is a fight we need to join. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Victoria Bruce) Tue, 06 Jun 2017 13:02:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Sellout-Audiobook/B071HJC1WW thebookvoice.com 10:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Uncovering unsung heroes of modern America Would you listen to Sellout again? Why? Absolutely this book contains so much information and so many different stories that all come together very well to tell the story of how China used the greed of the United States to slingshot forward in technological advancement. Who was your favorite character and why? Jim Kennedy's story is extremely compelling and it really shows how much one's life can change and his disappointment in his government and his continued efforts to help bring prosperity and security to his country. Have you listened to any of Tom Parkss other performances before? How does this one compare? I have not Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Seeing the transformation of Jim Kennedy and how he was able to rise above his difficult upbringing to succeed where many others would have given up. Any additional comments? This book is one of the best in telling the complex history of Rare Earth elements and China's technological rise. This seems like one of the issues that effects most people without them ever hearing about it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Wicked-Zionism-Audiobook/B00J7XKAGU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Wicked Zionism Author: Gary Anderson Narrator: Kenneth Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 03-26-14 Publisher: Gary Anderson Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Zionism is a semi-secret political movement that is far more powerful than most Americans even know. Our nation is being captured by the Zionists! Patriots, Christians, people of all religions, and all US citizens must be aware of the Zionist movement that puts at risk our financial freedoms and personal rights guaranteed by the constitution. Zionism is not what you think. It is very different than simply securing the homeland of Jews. One of the goals of Zionism is a worldwide digital currency. This ebook discusses Bitcoin in that context. Even the introduction negative interest rates is a related subject that Larry Summers is pushing for. Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism are not the same thing. Zionism is a political movement. This book discusses this movement, its impact on world affairs, especially on the United States, and its impact on our political parties. My natural father was Jewish and I am adopted. I oppose singling out any race for blame in the political sphere. I repeat, I oppose singling out any race for blame in the political sphere, ever! There are Jews that oppose Zionism, even the right of Israel to exist! There are Gentiles who love Zionism and never saw a false flag they didn't like. Most people accept, or are resigned to, the right of Israel to exist according to United Nation accords, but seek a two state solution to end the occupation. That solution could include boycotting Israel, making alliances with those Israel counts as enemies, etc. Israel is a one race state, by and large. It does not reflect the values of the United States, and some want many races represented in a one state solution. Israel seems to oppose both solutions, and therefore behaves wickedly towards allies like the chief one, the United States. Just how Zionism impacts the United States is explored in this audiobook. I have corresponded with Noam Chomsky on this subject and have come away from that discussion with sharp but cordial disagreements about the reach of Zionism in the USA. There is a liberal Zionism and a conservative Zionism. True liberals and true conservatives are being used by the Zionists' agenda without full knowledge of that agenda. It is crucial that a new consensus be formed as to what is important, the rights of Americans. Americans must seek to protect their rights, of free speech, freedom of religion, gun rights, blogging rights, from infringement of those rights by the New World Order Zionist agenda. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Gary Anderson) Wed, 26 Mar 2014 18:37:60 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Wicked-Zionism-Audiobook/B00J7XKAGU thebookvoice.com 02:09:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In eCommerce, how you get the product to the customer is a very important part of the puzzle. It can be summed up in one word - delivery - and when I talk about delivery, I mean every aspect of it: how the customer perceives it as well as how we can use it to increase retention, improve margins, and increase efficiency. Research undertaken around the world consistently shows delivery as a top cause of failure to purchase [57 percent of baskets were abandoned due to delivery (Royal Mail's Delivery Matters, 2014)]. So getting your delivery strategy right has a massive impact on your conversion rates. Get it right and see your sales thrive. Let's face it, we've all seen the impact of a free P & P weekend. Listen to this audiobook to find out how your delivery strategy can: eCommerce Delivery: How Your Delivery Strategy Can Increase Your Sales is the third book in the eCommerce MasterPlan series. The series is built on Chloë's years of experience across many eCommerce sectors. Critic Reviews: "Chloë explains how small changes to your delivery processes can lead to significant growth in customer conversion and satisfaction." (Karen Faulkner-Dunkley, owner and operator of KFDJewellery) "Well researched and easy to read, this should be required reading for anybody involved in eCommerce!"

Title: World Development Report 2015 Subtitle: Mind, Society, and Behavior Author: World Bank Narrator: Derek Perkins, Helen Clapp, Lisa HammGreenawalt, Michael Pearl Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 11-17-15 Publisher: Brook Forest Voices Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: This newly launched report argues that development policies based on new insights into how people actually think and make decisions will help governments and civil society more readily tackle such challenges as increasing productivity, breaking the cycle of poverty from one generation to the next, and acting on climate change. Drawing from a wealth of research that suggests ways of diagnosing and solving the psychological and social constraints to development, the World Development Report identifies new policy tools that complement standard economic instruments. To inspire a fresh look at how development work is done, the report outlines three principles of human decision making: thinking automatically, thinking socially, and thinking with mental models. Much of human thinking is automatic and depends on whatever comes to mind most effortlessly. People are deeply social and are influenced by social networks and norms. Finally, most people do not invent new concepts; rather they use mental models drawn from their societies and shared histories to interpret their experiences. Because the factors affecting decisions are local and contextual, it is hard to predict in advance which aspects of program design and implementation will drive the choices people will make. Interventions therefore need to take account of the insights found in this report and be designed through a "learning by doing" approach. This report applies the three principles to multiple areas, including early childhood development, productivity, household finance, health and health care, climate change, and more. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (World Bank) Tue, 17 Nov 2015 07:36:12 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/World-Development-Report-2015-Audiobook/B0182NE4DU thebookvoice.com 12:30:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Inflation Subtitle: Money Author: iMinds Narrator: Emily Sophie Knapp Format: Unabridged Length: 7 mins Language: English Release date: 11-22-10 Publisher: iMinds Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Learn about inflation with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. Inflation is the increase in the general price of goods and services brought about through either an increase in the amount of money in circulation or by an increase in costs. Historically, inflation often occurred due to the acquisition of new gold deposits. For example, inflation occurred in Europe when Europeans brought back gold from their new American colonies in the Early Modern period. In more recent times, wars have proven to be a major cause of inflation. This is because war leads to government borrowing, increased money supply and fewer consumer goods. This causes a rise in the prices of the goods that are still available. However, aside from discovery and conflict, inflation is a natural economic progression and has been occurring globally since the end of World War Two. In the United States, yearly inflation of 2% to 3% is considered average. When inflation is greater than zero, money loses some of its purchasing power. This is a fundamental point to understand for anyone wanting to make money on the stock market. If you invest in shares that do not increase in value at an equal or faster pace than inflation, then you will lose money, even if your price increases. iMinds will hone your financial knowledge with its insightful series looking at topics related to Money, Investment and Finance... whether an amateur or specialist in the field, iMinds targeted fast knowledge series will whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.iMinds unique fast-learning modules as seen in the Financial Times, Wired, Vogue, Robb Report, Sky News, LA Times, Mashable and many others... the future of general knowledge acquisition. Editorial Reviews: An old man says to a young man, "I remember when the price of a Coca-Cola was 25 cents." The old man is talking about inflation. This audiobook by iMinds will explain to the financial neophyte just what inflation is and how it works. Inflation - or the "increase in the general price of goods and services" - can be brought on by artificial means (like war) or through natural processes (like expanding productivity). Whether you need to understand inflation because you want to use that knowledge to make sound investment decisions or because you simply want to know this fundamental concept, this audiobook will waste no time in explaining it in a way that nearly everyone can understand. Buy it now, before its price inflates.... Critic Reviews: "I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful."

Title: Outrageous Fortunes Subtitle: The Twelve Surprising Trends That Will Reshape the Global Economy Author: Daniel Altman Narrator: William Hughes Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 01-18-11 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: As individuals, companies, and countries struggle to recover from the economic crisis, many are narrowly focused on forecasts for the next week, month, or quarter. Yet they should be asking what the global economy will look like in the years to comewhere will the long-term risks and opportunities arise? These are the questions that Daniel Altman confronts in his provocative and indispensable book. The fate of the global economy, Altman argues, will be determined by deeper factors than those that move markets from moment to moment. His incisive analysis brings together hidden trends, societal pressures, and policy endgames to make 12 surprising but logical predictions about the years ahead. And his forecasts for the future raise a pressing question for today: with so many challenges awaiting us, are our political and economic institutions up to the task? Outrageous Fortunes shows which industries will grow, which economies will crumble, which investments will pay off, and where the next big crisis may occur. Altmans carefully reasoned text is an essential guide for the road ahead. Critic Reviews: Outrageous Fortunes is provocative, fast-moving, authoritative, and imaginative. Expect the unexpected. (Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist ) Amid all the handwringing on the downward trajectory of the global economy comes this cool, collected, and sensible view of forthcoming economic trendsAltman delivers more than mere analysis or foreshadowing: this is revelatory reading for even the most casual observer of economics, and an invaluable tool for reconsidering how the world makes money. ( Publishers Weekly) With so many new books offering autopsies of the financial crisis and the deepest recession since World War II, its a blessing that Daniel Altman has his eyes firmly fixed on risks and opportunities in the road ahead. He brings together a series of compelling predictions, and though readers may not agree with every element of his forecasts, all will be better informed for having read his book.

(Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group and author of The End of the Free Market and The J Curve) Members Reviews: An Unrealistic View There are a few interesting things here but in general it's an academic economists view of the future. It suffers from the "Economic Man" Syndrome - theory heavy but lacking perspective when it comes to real human behavior. A much better read is George Friedman's The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century. Interesting But Flawed Altman hits on some interesting mega trends that provide plenty of food for thought for investors. His political views slip into the mix from time to time, which made the book seem less objective. For example, his near certain views about global warming and its likely effects will probably find favor with some, but not with others. Still, worth a listen. Economic History If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? It is an interesting period piece - the last two years have been so dynamic with regard to economics, that many of the premises on which Altman bases his predictions have already shifted, some as he said they would, many not so. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Yugo-Audiobook/B003B38XL6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Yugo Subtitle: The Rise and Fall of the Worst Car in History Author: Jason Vuic Narrator: Erik Synnestvedt Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 03-04-10 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 514 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Six months after its American introduction in 1985, the Yugo was a punch line; within a year, it was a staple of late-night comedy. By 2000, NPR's Car Talk declared it "the worst car of the millennium." And for most Americans that's where the story begins and ends. Hardly. The short, unhappy life of the car, the men who built it, the men who imported it, and the decade that embraced and discarded it is rollicking and astounding, and it is one of the greatest untold business-cum-morality tales of the 1980s. Mix one rabid entrepreneur, several thousand "good" communists, a willing U.S. State Department, the shortsighted Detroit auto industry, and improvident bankers, shake vigorously, and youve got The Yugo: The Rise and Fall of the Worst Car in History. Brilliantly re-creating the amazing confluence of events that produced the Yugo, Yugoslav expert Jason Vuic uproariously tells the story of the car that became an international joke: The American CEO who happens upon a Yugo right when his company needs to find a new import or go under. A State Department eager to aid Yugoslavia's nonaligned communist government. Zastava Automobiles, which overhauls its factory to produce an American-ready Yugo in six months. And a hole left by Detroit in the cheap subcompact market that creates a race to the bottom that leaves the Yugo...at the bottom. Critic Reviews: This is a fun read about a heap of junk that should make anyone feel better about having to take their car to a repair shop.

And a hole left by Detroit in the cheap subcompact market that creates a race to the bottom that leaves the Yugo...at the bottom. Critic Reviews: This is a fun read about a heap of junk that should make anyone feel better about having to take their car to a repair shop. ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Flim Flam at its Best This is a wonderfully entertaining and humorous story about the introduction of the little Yugo - the worse car ever - to the US. Individuals interested in business history will find this book interesting. Car buffs may also enjoy the book, though those expecting technical specs, road tests, and other information will be disappointed. I actually found the sections dealing with Subaru, early Honda introductions, and - in particular - the involvement of Malcolm Bricklin et al very informative. In sum, this book is well written and the reading of Synnestvedt is very good. Unless you are a motorhead, this might well be an interesting diversion for you. Thank you Jason Vuic for a great job. Better Than The Car! What a fun read! If you like business, cars or "Americana"---pop culture, you'll enjoy this book. It's got it all...I'm not a "car" guy but really enjoyed this book. A lot of fun. Oddly, I don't know what to make of the central character. Crook? Unlucky? Both? Read it and then draw your own conclusions---then Google the guy! He's got a NEW venture in cars... Chris Reich Fascinating read - endless conversation material What made the experience of listening to The Yugo the most enjoyable? I'm not a car guy, but I knew the Yugo was a terrible car. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Emerging-Markets-Audiobook/B00H2VT4UW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Overhaul Subtitle: An Insider's Account of the Obama Administration's Emergency Rescue of the Auto Industry Author: Steven Rattner Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 11-23-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: This first real look inside Team Obama mixes political warfare and big-business shakeups in equal proportions, and comes from a uniquely informed source. Steve Rattner is not just the man brought in by the president to save the auto industry, he is a former New York Times financial reporter who also earned a place among the top tier of Wall Street's most informed investment bankers and corporate experts. Now, from his vantage point at the helm of the historic auto-industry intervention, Rattner crafts a tightly plotted narrative of political brinkmanship, corporate mismanagement, and personalities under pressure in a high-stakes clash between Washington and Detroit. He also explains the tough choices he and his team made, working against a ticking clock and facing vocal opposition from free-market champions, to keep Chrysler and General Motors in operation. As the economy faced free fall, Obama, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, and economic advisor Larry Summers - all revealingly described - faced the possibility of more than a million lost jobs and the astonishing wreckage of GM (a nightmare of huge proportions, caused by terrible management) and Chrysler (a company so close to death it was nearly sacrificed). Rattner's book, which takes the story up to the fall of 2010, is a gripping account of one of the severest crises of President Obama's first year in office, with lessons relevant for all managers and executives. Critic Reviews: "Obama auto czar Rattner delivers a vigorous account of the bailout of the automobile industry - a success, though one fraught with controversy... A fine inside-baseball account of how things can get done when people agree to get them done, even in Washington." (Kirkus Reviews) "Overhaul is filled with delicious descriptions of what happened behind the scenes in the White House and at the Treasury Department as the effort to save GM and Chrysler unfolded... a riveting read." (The Wall Street Journal) "'Overhaul' is not a Washington memoir, even though it is set in Washington, and it involves one of the most deeply politicized issues in recent memory. It is a Wall Street memoir, a book about one of the biggest private-equity deals in history....unexpectedly fascinating."

(Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker) Members Reviews: A tremendous walk-through For me, this book has it all: law, finance, business management, government, all wrapped in a contemporary, well-told tale of high drama. We can't prove the counter-factual, such as, what Detroit might be like now WITHOUT this, given how bad it is anyway, but I'm glad the collapse of these industries remained counter-factual, rather than factual. The author is very gifted at seamlessly explaining some pretty complex stuff, all in a story so smooth one might be forgiven for not noticing there is a big timely education here. Our corporations and institutions need plenty of restructuring, and this is a definitive story of it happening in real time in the unwieldy corridors of government and rather sclerotic big business, in the face of crisis. Maybe in some instances crisis is a mother of invention. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Ship-of-Fools-Audiobook/B003XWTKMG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Ship of Fools Subtitle: How Stupidity and Corruption Sank the Celtic Tiger Author: Fintan O'Toole Narrator: Roger Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 08-10-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 31 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Between 1995 and 2007, the Republic of Ireland was the worldwide model of successful adaptation to economic globalisation. The success story was phenomenal: a doubling of the workforce; a massive growth in exports; a GDP that was substantially above the EU average. Ireland became the world's largest exporter of software and manufactured the world's supply of Viagra. The factors that made it possible for Ireland to become prosperous - progressive social change, solidarity, major state investment in education, and the critical role of the EU - were largely ignored as too sharply at odds with the dominant free-market ideology. The Irish boom was shaped instead into a simplistic moral tale of the little country that discovered low taxes and small government and prospered as a result. There were two big problems. Ireland acquired a hyper-capitalist economy on the back of a corrupt, dysfunctional political system. And the business class saw the influx of wealth as an opportunity to make money out of property. Aided by corrupt planning and funded by poorly regulated banks, an unsustainable property-led boom gradually consumed the Celtic Tiger. This is, as Fintan O'Toole writes, "a good old-fashioned jeremiad about the bastards who got us into this mess". It is an entertaining, passionate story of one of the most ignominious economic reversals in recent history. Critic Reviews: OToole...has produced a coruscating polemic against the cronyism and corruption that in his view helped to fuel the boom. [H]is highly readable book is a salutary reminder that cronyism, light regulation and loose ethics can be a deadly combination.

(Financial Times) Members Reviews: Never Trust An Irish Bank Again In this audiobook, the author goes into the political, economic and financial regulatory history of the Republic of Ireland (the "Celtic Tiger" lauded in the 90s). You'll meet shady politicians, land developers, and more, some lineages stretching as far back as the 60s and 70s, and come away finding how deeply rooted and tacitly accepted these corrupt practices are. One chapter goes into how all the big companies from America, Italy and around the globe domiciled themselves in Dublin to take advantage of tax loopholes so large, you could hide Bermuda in them. Admittedly, some of the reinsurance schemes and paper companies are a bit sophisticated to follow, but the despicable greed comes through loud and clear in the narration. I may never trust another Irish bank again after learning all of this. I used to own shares of AIB but not anymore (fortunately I sold before the meltdown), and never again. The book will help you understand the financial reform and economic austerity that the Republic of Ireland has to go through today to pick-up the pieces of the wreckage described up through 2008 in the book, and why democratic though it may be, the electorate simply continue to accept these practices as long as their local politicians bring home the bacon. The one detraction I felt from the audiobook were the quantity of numbers being thrown out there to the listener in the narrative (particularly in the earlier part of the book). The author moves arbitrarily from one year to another comparing numbers: GDPs, tax revenue, per capita income, real estate development measures, etc. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Doing-Business-in-21st-Century-India-Audiobook/B002V8KJAA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Sheahan illustrates his points convincingly with examples pulled from the business headlines." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Interesting Stories, Flawed Logic Had there been more research, this could have been an interesting book. Unfortunately, it falls well short, coming to the absurd conclusion that to succeed, you must simply do things that everyone thinks will fail. How many times this destroys the person's career or company Sheahan doesn't know, since they didn't become successful so he didn't look at them. He seems completely unaware that his thesis results from a simple case of selection bias. What we really need to know is the decision process at the time that enabled people to tell when to go with and when to go against the tide. Instead of examining this, this book simply uses hindsight, leaving the reader with the unsatisfying conclusion that these people were successful because they succeeded. Contains a Key Learning The novice walking this material will find it valuable. Otherwise, Sheahan has crammed a lot of well known principles into this book. However, the book contains a principle which is particularly well presented and that is "move forward despite ambiguity." It is better to act and learn from what happens than to stand down and wait for adquate information. He presents the idea in a particularly useful fashion. I believe that if a book provides one usuable idea or insight to the reader - it is worth while. Read that section at least and congratulate the author for bringing together well worn thinking and putting it into useful form. Total Waste Would you try another book from Peter Sheahan and/or Simon Vance? Never by Peter Sheahan Would you ever listen to anything by Peter Sheahan again? Never How did the narrator detract from the book? I don't blame the narrator, its the author, never on track. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? nope Any additional comments? Outdated, out of context, does not have any value. Good advice on sale!!!! What made the experience of listening to Flip the most enjoyable? Now is the time to read this one. A look over your shoulder at what just (7 yrs) happened?

Title: Hedge Funds Subtitle: Money Author: iMinds Narrator: Emily Sophie Knapp Format: Unabridged Length: 6 mins Language: English Release date: 11-22-10 Publisher: iMinds Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Learn about hedge funds with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. A hedge fund is a type of investment structure for managing a private, unregistered investment pool. Within this investment portfolio the fund manager is permitted to use a number of higher risk investment strategies. Although a wide range of strategies are used the most common is long/short equity. This was the strategy used by the first hedge fund in the United States in 1949 and is still the most popular today. The strategy simply involves a hedge-fund manager buying shares they think will rise in price and short-selling shares they believe will fall. This strategy allows for large profits, but also very large losses. Hedge funds may also take advantage of another high-risk strategy by using borrowed money to produce a greater return. However, despite the riskier strategies employed, hedge funds had become extremely popular and common, especially in the United States, prior to the financial crisis of 2007 - 2008. This is due to their ability to potentially provide great profits. In a good year, hedge funds can return profits of over 20%.

A hedge fund is a type of investment structure for managing a private, unregistered investment pool. Within this investment portfolio the fund manager is permitted to use a number of higher risk investment strategies. Although a wide range of strategies are used the most common is long/short equity. This was the strategy used by the first hedge fund in the United States in 1949 and is still the most popular today. The strategy simply involves a hedge-fund manager buying shares they think will rise in price and short-selling shares they believe will fall. This strategy allows for large profits, but also very large losses. Hedge funds may also take advantage of another high-risk strategy by using borrowed money to produce a greater return.

Title: Robert B. Reich's Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few Summary Author: Ant Hive Media Narrator: Michael Piotrasch Format: Unabridged Length: 21 mins Language: English Release date: 05-10-16 Publisher: Ant Hive Media Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: This is a summary of Robert B. Reich's Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few. This presents a myth-shattering breakdown of how the economic system that helped make America so strong is now failing us and what it will take to fix it. Perhaps no one is better acquainted with the intersection of economics and politics than Robert B. Reich, and now he reveals how power and influence have created a new American oligarchy, a shrinking middle class, and the greatest income inequality and wealth disparity in 80 years. He makes clear how centrally problematic our veneration of the "free market" is and how it has masked the power of moneyed interests to tilt the market to their benefit. Reich exposes the falsehoods that have been bolstered by the corruption of our democracy by huge corporations and the revolving door between Washington and Wall Street: that all workers are paid what they're "worth", that a higher minimum wage equals fewer jobs, and that corporations must serve shareholders before employees. He shows that the critical choices ahead are not about the size of government but about who government is for: that we must choose not between a free market and "big" government but between a market organized for broadly based prosperity and one designed to deliver the most gains to the top. Ever the pragmatist, ever the optimist, Reich sees hope for reversing our slide toward inequality and diminished opportunity when we shore up the countervailing power of everyone else. Passionate yet practical, sweeping yet exactingly argued, Saving Capitalism is a revelatory indictment of our economic status quo and an empowering call to civic action. This summary is aimed at those who want to capture the gist of the book but don't have the time to listen to the full book.

Members Reviews: Great book for Novices, more technicals would be great God I love this book. As a forex trader for several months now, I realized that the more I knew, the more I don't know. I did not do as well in my first few months trading fx and always wondered why. I particularly enjoyed and found relevance in Chapters 4,5 and 9. Chapter 4 talks about having a trading plan. I find this applicable to all traders, be it novice or veteran, forex or any other derivatives trading. A trader must always have a plan before entering the market. This book enforced this point with good valid explanation. Chapter 5 is about the Dos and Donts of trading. It is always good to be reminded about the common mistakes that traders make. Chapter 9 is about the psychology of trading. The point about validating your emotions was the most influential to me. Emotions often get in the way and traders lose alot of money being emotional. I like how the chapters were very systematic. Got this book as I wanted to see what I have missed out and why I was not seeing results in my forex trading. However I do think that a novice who reads this book must research more about technicals/TA before these things mentioned in the book can apply. Overall great book Great for beginners A very good introduction to the world of Forex trading. It is jam-packed with important and useful information. It covers the basics with a good level of details. It is easy to read and the author did a really good job in explaining the basics of the Forex market. I actually downloaded 3 books on Forex Trading and this one was by far the best one for me because I really did need to start at the basics. At the end I'm glad to read this book because somewhere it's content were really helpful & informative to me so I would like to recommend this book as well. Huge thanks to the author. It is easy to read and the author did a really good ... It talks about how to assess the risks and manage it appropriately in the trades. It also teaches the do s and donâts to help avoid all the common mistakes traders make. It is easy to read and the author did a really good job in explaining the basics of the Forex market. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Boomerang-Audiobook/B005Z4EV42 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Boomerang Subtitle: The Meltdown Tour Author: Michael Lewis Narrator: Dylan Baker Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-11 Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 51 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Boomerang: The Meltdown Tour, Michael Lewis' brilliant tragi-comic romp across post-crash Europe. Read by the actor Dylan Baker. Having made the U.S. financial crisis comprehensible for us all in The Big Short, Michael Lewis realised that he hadn't begun to get grips with the full story. How exactly had it come to hit the rest of the world in the face too? Just how broke are we really? Boomerang is a tragi-comic romp across Europe, in which Lewis gives full vent to his storytelling genius. The cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008 was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not normally afford to indulge. Icelanders wanted to stop fishing and become investment bankers. The Greeks wanted to turn their country into a piñata stuffed with cash and allow as many citizens as possible to take a whack. The Irish wanted to stop being Irish. The Germans wanted to be even more German. Michael Lewis's investigation of bubbles across Europe is brilliantly, sadly hilarious. He also turns a merciless eye on America: on California, the epicentre of world consumption, where we see that a final reckoning awaits the most avaricious of nations too. This is the ultimate book of our times. It's time to brace ourselves for impact. And, with Michael Lewis, to laugh out loud while we're doing it. Critic Reviews: "Fascinating... the book could not be more timely...a sharp-edged narrative that leaves readers with a visceral understanding of the fiscal recklessness that lies behind today's headlines."

(Evening Standard) Members Reviews: Very good until the final part There are absolutely several laugh-out-loud moments in this book. The best part is, without doubt, Michael Lewis's (ML) description of Iceland and its travails as the "investment banking nation". When he describes the difficulties of Alcoa, engaged in opening an Aluminium smelting plant in Iceland, first having to certify that the development site is not inhabited by "the hidden people" (aka Elves) -- it is indescribable. But underlying this is ML's usual depth and curiosity. His description of how Iceland developed its fishing industry into a vast money-making enterprise is succinct and thought-provoking. It is ML's ability to be acerbic, but not nasty that is really at the core of his talent. The Icelanders acted like amazing idiots, seeing themselves as being somehow amazingly talented and capable, when in fact they were more like eleven year-olds given the keys to Daddy's Cadillac. Yet at the end of his tale-telling, one feels both sympathy for the Icelanders, and a slightly rueful sense that maybe we have all been Icelanders a little bit this past decade. Then you get to the end of the book, and things take a bit of a nose-dive. ML is quite weak when he comes to ascribing causes to what happened in the GFC. His line throughout the book was that the GFC resulted from people being given a great deal of money that they could spend "with nobody looking". That doesn't ring true to me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Capital-Markets-Audiobook/B01J91FYMY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Coming China Wars Subtitle: Where They Will Be Fought and How They Can Be Won Author: Peter Navarro Narrator: Stow Lovejoy Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 10-23-06 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 256 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: In The Coming China Wars, best-selling author Peter Navarro previews all these potential conflicts, and reveals the urgent, radical decisions that must be made to avoid catastrophe. You'll learn how China's thirst for oil is driving nuclear proliferation in Iran, genocide in the Sudan, even Japan's remilitarization. You'll discover China's shocking role in the drug trade and how its reborn flesh trade may help trigger tomorrow's worst AIDS crisis. Navarro also reveals how China has become the world's most ruthless imperialist; how it is promoting global environmental disaster; and, perhaps most terrifying of all, how this nuclear superpower and pirate nation may be spiraling toward internal chaos. The threat is real. We all must come to understand it and then act! Start here and now by arming yourself with the information and insights of The Coming China Wars. Editorial Reviews: The narration, by the wonderfully named Stow Lovejoy, is delivered in a business-minded, mid-toned American voice that you can listen to for hours on end without pain. It is very easy with a book where myriad facts are dealt out to get lost and confused, necessitating lots of rewinding to pick up the thread. I am happy to report that this does not happen here, in spite of the heavyweight subject matter. Mr. Navarro presents his evidence and arguments simply, and has divided the book into chapters that concentrate on one specific area at a time. I listened to the whole book in one sitting; such was the power of both content and narrator. I would recommend this book to everyone; not just those interested in world politics and economics, but also to those who think that their country has nothing to fear from the awakening dragon... --Brad Jackson, UK bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Peter Navarro) Mon, 23 Oct 2006 03:59:04 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/The-Coming-China-Wars-Audiobook/B002V5H62C thebookvoice.com 08:13:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For example, at one point in the book the author runs on about a projected aids epidemic in China due to past faulty blood handling procedures. He paints this as a great catastrophe even leading perhaps to large scale civil unrest, which he then says could involve as many as a projected 50 million people infected. The problem though is that you are talking about 50 million out of a population of over 1.2 billion. So, this hardly seems like the end of Chinese civilization. At another point in the book the author complains about Chinese chemicals ending up in drug labs across Europe. But here the problem is that the author does not clearly ever cite what he bases his conclusions on. I do like the part where the author digresses about unfair labor/trade practices, semi-slave labor conditions in China, and Communist Party/entrepenerial corruption. But, why did the author not write the book just about these topics? He easily could have filled volumes on this alone. The author attempted to cover way too much ground and way too sparsely. The problem is that his book comes across just as a bunch of rants and China bashing, instead of a serious analysis. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/50-Economics-Classics-Audiobook/B0744Y149G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Great advice This book contains tons of amazing insights and advice for many at many levels. The content is first class. However, it's just not the same without Jack's voice. useful advice more aimed at CEOs or board level but I can't imagine those that really need to read this will do so interesting I found the book insightful, shame he didnot use all of the principles at GE Will be reading again in a few weeks! This tome is so dense in life-truths and gems, that it warrants at least a couple of re-reads.

Title: Can Finance Save the World?

Badré says that finance is inherently neither good nor bad. It's just a toolthe most powerful tool on earth. Used correctly, it can be at the heart of the way we address many of the world's biggest problems, ranging from climate change to the eradication of poverty to building much-needed infrastructure. He describes innovations in financial tools and approaches that are already happening around the world and looks at the role regulation can play in channeling the power of finance in a positive direction. He details options for strengthening international cooperation for financial stability and prosperity and overcoming the blinkered nationalism currently on the rise. And he tells what is working and what needs to change in financing the sustainable development of the world. This audiobook is rich with practical examples, some developed by Badré himself. For instance, he describes how at the World Bank he devised an innovative way to use insurance, a financial tool rarely considered in international development, to buttress fragile emerging economies against natural disasters and pandemics. Initiatives like these show that, as Badré writes, when controlled and used intelligently, with benevolence and inventiveness, finance can accomplish great things. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Bertrand Badré) Tue, 26 Dec 2017 00:44:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Can-Finance-Save-the-World-Audiobook/B078K7JHW8 thebookvoice.com 07:47:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: If you think socialism has influenced world governments too much, then you need to read this. A must read if you are tired of destructive policies being implemented around the world by governments that present themselves as capitalists and later blame the market for its âlimitationsâ. This books presents the nonsense and contradictions of Keynes âeconomicâ theories in a clear and structured fashion. For many years Iâve believed that many of the horrible economic policies implemented by governments around the world where part of the socialist inheritance the world has absorbed. But much to my surprise, these are all part of the Keynesian doctrine! Although itâs only at the end where there is a brief reference, Keynesian policies have contributed to keep and increase poverty around the world. Excellent organization and very easy reading. Self Required Reading for the Informed Electorate This is an excellent book for those interested in macroeconomics, markets, politics, business, and the overall philosophies that interconnect them all. In other words, if you were interested enough to look at the reviews, then purchase the book. Hunter Lewis has done a masterful job of compiling information that all elected officials should be required to read, and information that would dramatically change politics around the world if voting citizens of the United States understood. The author's point - counterpoint style of refuting Keynes' "General Theory..." (and the policies that have evolved around his name) is somewhat duplicative throughout the book, and does detract from the general flow of the book; but it does accomplish the author's secondary goal of examining Keynsian theories in a logical manner. Hunter Lewis not only explains the risks Keynsian policies pose to economies, but also points that the effect of Keynsian policy (and the Government sponsored enterprises it creates) are even more dangerous for maintaining our democratic republic and liberty. Someone who GETS it. The author does an outstanding job of thoroughly discrediting John Maynard Keynes and uses the information presented to explain the current state of the economy and how Keynesian thinking and policies are what got us into this mess. If the government truly wanted to follow Keynes, as some of them mistakenly think they are, they would reverse the money flow from the Fed into the market. The original idea Keynes had was for deficit spending to "get the economy going" , but in better economic times the governments were supposed to pull the money back out of the system. In the end, it doesn't really make a difference if they truly followed Keynes, the policies just don't work. Very readable,interesting,extremely relevant and useful. A well organized book ... Point ... Counterpoint ... Lewis' work is easy to read and follow. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Narcomics-Audiobook/B01FK6FSL4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Friendly to Beginners, Detailed Enough for Pros As an experienced Forex trader, I purchased this book looking to expand my knowledge of the markets and perhaps learn some new techniques which I could apply to my trading style. I was not disappointed. This book does a great job of explaining the very basics of what the forex market is and how it works in a simple way, which is of course an excellent starting point for beginners. For me, being an advanced trader with considerable experience, I was looking for more detailed concepts to be covered and in this book and they were. It does a fantastic job of keeping these concepts easy to understand despite their often complex nature - even newbies to forex and trading in general will be able to get a grasp of these topics without becoming confused. Also worth mentioning is the very important parts of this book which warn against some of the common pitfalls of forex trading which so many people fall into, and crucially what to do to avoid them. 5 Stars for a book which is friendly to beginners, but detailed enough for pros! An excellent intro and definition of the whole forex trading system An excellent intro and definition of the whole forex trading system. I value the details given in the getting started part and also the strategies. Other than that there are details on: doâs and donâtâs, benefits of forex, holding period, FAQs. I only intended to get familiarity on forex. That part is short and brief, but this whole set I got at 2.99 contains so many other short books. If I am honest, I didnât get what I intended to get 100% and for that I take away a mark. I expected this to be a more in depth reference on the WHOLE forex trading system. YET, what âwasâ included in brief was also very essential and significant information. So I give my thanks to the author for that. PS: there was a book on âhow to get rich slowlyâ. And Iâve seen that in other books as well. Personally I think that title for ANY book is absurd. Because unless we have tons of luck on our side, getting rich requires a lot of hard work, sacrifices and time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Trillion-Dollar-Economists-Audiobook/B00PUPWVI4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Trillion Dollar Economists Subtitle: How Economists and Their Ideas Have Transformed Business Author: Robert Litan Narrator: Chris Ruen Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 11-20-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: A detailed look at how economists shaped the world, and how the legacy continues. Trillion Dollar Economists explores the prize-winning ideas that have shaped business decisions, business models, and government policies, expanding the popular idea of the economist's role from one of forecaster to one of innovator. Written by the former Director of Economic Research at Bloomberg Government, the Kauffman Foundation and the Brookings Institution, this audiobook describes the ways in which economists have helped shape the world - in some cases, dramatically enough to be recognized with a Nobel Prize or Clark Medal. Detailed discussion of how economists think about the world and the pace of future innovation leads to an examination of the role, importance, and limits of the market, and economists' contributions to business and policy in the past, present, and future. Few economists actually forecast the economy's performance. Instead, the bulk of the profession is concerned with how markets work, and how they can be made more efficient and productive to generate the things people want to buy for a better life. Full of interviews with leading economists and industry leaders, Trillion Dollar Economists showcases the innovations that have built modern business and policy.

Members Reviews: Many interesting Facts There were a lot of interesting facts and figures based on research and studies. I enjoyed it as a survey taker and numbers person A Nice Bunch Of Info! I do a weekly radio show and these stats are useful before the show to loosen up the guest, etc. Three Stars Entertaining in short bursts, but no linking story line Short Stuff Great bathroom reading; seldom over one page on a Kindle. I bought it when I was about to have surgery, and it served me well. Don't expect to be much smarter when you have finished it. Small but interesting book I keep this book on my desk at work and lots of people like to come in and just read a couple of page. Makes me feel like people actually like me. It's on the smaller side so don't expect a huge normal size book but it does the trick. Anytime I need a boost in my life, I just have to pick it up and start reading it and suddenly I feel smarter! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Crude-Forecasts-Predictions-Pundits-and-Profits-in-the-Commodity-Casino-Audiobook/B077SCJNG7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: David Graeber's 2011 book, Debt: The First 5,000 Years, seeks to overturn hundreds of years of economic theory, specifically the idea that people have a natural inclination to trade with each other and that the concept of money developed spontaneously to overcome the inefficiencies of a bartering system. The US-born social activist uses his training as an anthropologist to trace the histories of money and of debt and reaches the conclusion that money was in fact created by the state as a means of exploiting the poor. First published at a time of huge economic turmoil around the world, Debt has been warmly received by activists looking for an intellectual foundation for alternatives to capitalism. As an activist himself, Graeber believes people can do better than relating to each other simply by measuring and enforcing debt. He says, "A debt is just the perversion of a promise. It is a promise corrupted by both math and violence." bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Sulaiman Hakemy) Wed, 27 Jul 2016 04:25:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/A-Macat-Analysis-of-David-Graebers-Debt-The-First-5000-Years-Audiobook/B01J4CEQI6 thebookvoice.com 01:33:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It feels like 10% of the book is just reading chapter name. An Academic Bore Another academic and idealistic mindset not living in the real world. Although many good points are made, it is an unnecessary read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/DotBomb-Audiobook/B002V57O5Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

David Kuo saw it all: the sky's-the-limit optimism, the hundreds of millions of dollars spent in a giddy grab for eyeballs and market share, the investors slavering to be on the inside, the belief that there really were new rules.

In the blink of an eye, Value America crashed back to earth, filed for bankruptcy, and was gone. David Kuo's account of his days and nights at Value America captures with the intensity of a great novel the people who made this such a powerful experience with their incredibly hard work, their genuine belief, and their humor.

David Kuo saw it all: the sky's-the-limit optimism, the hundreds of millions of dollars spent in a giddy grab for eyeballs and market share, the investors slavering to be on the inside, the belief that there really were new rules. He also saw what happened when gravity reasserted itself, Wall Street demanded results, and flaws and failures that had been glossed over suddenly loomed huge. In the blink of an eye, Value America crashed back to earth, filed for bankruptcy, and was gone. David Kuo's account of his days and nights at Value America captures with the intensity of a great novel the people who made this such a powerful experience with their incredibly hard work, their genuine belief, and their humor. Just as vividly it portrays their unbridled greed, wretched excesses, ego-driven blunders, and unmitigated power grabbing. Critic Reviews: "This is a great story of behind-the-scenes action in the Internet gold rush." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: A look at Net Mania at its worst As a former long-time resident of Charlottesville, I'm all too familiar with the rise & fall of the area's only billion+ $ net venture. So it was very interesting to get an insider's look at Value America through David Kuo's eyes. First and foremost, this is a case study of a fast-moving dot.com with a "flexible" business plan. Value America was heralded for its inventory-less business plan, but eventually the major flaws in the model were revealed, especially on the B2C side. This book provides mostly cautionary tales. It describes the infighting and power struggles among the executives. It details the inability of the CEO to rein in the founder Craig Winn, the "visionary" promise-now/deliver-later salesman. And it touches on the operational failures that led to thousands of delayed orders and a general technology break down. Because Kuo was in PR and bus dev, we don't get an in-depth look at the information technology infrastructure, supposedly the crown-jewel of this company's assets. Instead we see the excessive and sometimes irresponsible deal-making that occured with little executive knowledge of the technological requirements. It is an entertaining book that depicts how a company can blow through hundreds of millions of dollars that result in little salvageable value. Like the "startup.com" movie, dot.bomb also shows the emotional fallout at the executive level. Abridged I read this book years ago and loved it as a time capsule of the dot.com era - but unfortunately this isn't the full story, it's an abridged version of the book that leaves out countless details that made the story so absurd. Hopefully this will get a full and proper unabridged version one day. With that said this abridged version is still pretty good and gives you a general overview and some detail here and there. It does seem to skip around a lot but you get all the basics. As a fairly quick read this is enjoyable. The reader is the author and he does a professional job. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Peer-to-Peer-P2P-Lending-for-Beginners-Audiobook/B01LXPNXZR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: EBITDA Subtitle: Money Author: iMinds Narrator: Emily Sophie Knapp Format: Unabridged Length: 7 mins Language: English Release date: 11-16-10 Publisher: iMinds Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Learn about EBITDA with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. Traditionally, those looking to investigate the financial health and value of a company have focused on things such as net income, cash flow and revenue. In recent times, another form of financial analysis has become increasingly used by investors, debt holder and others interested in the worth of businesses. It is known as EBITDA. EBITDA is an acronym that refers to a companys earnings before the deduction of interest, tax, depreciation and amortization expenses. It is a common and widely-used measure of the value of a business. The purpose of EBITDA analysis is to measure cash earnings without accrual accounting, canceling tax-jurisdiction effects and canceling the effects of different capital structures.EBITDA first came to prominence in the mid 1980s when leveraged buyout investors examined distressed companies that would need financial restructuring. They used the EBITDA analysis as a quick calculation to determine whether these companies could pay back the interest on these financed deals. For example, a company with an EBITDA of $10 million and interest charges of $5 million has an interest coverage of 2. This is more than enough to sufficiently pay off the debt of this buyout. From this, EBITDA has grown today into a commonly used method of analysis for a wide range of businesses. iMinds will hone your financial knowledge with its insightful series looking at topics related to Money, Investment and Finance.. whether an amateur or specialist in the field, iMinds targeted fast knowledge series will whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind. Editorial Reviews: If you think EBITDA is a musical by Andrew Lloyd Weber, take a listen to iMindss series of very brief introductions to important financial concepts. In less than 10 minutes, and using simple language clearly spoken by Emily Sophie Knapp, iMinds gives the listener clear answers to most basic financial questions. If youve ever read through the notes of a corporations quarterly earnings report, you may have noticed a type of financial analysis called EBITDA: "Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization", a very common analytic used to estimate the worth of a business. This audiobook very helpfully breaks down this sophisticated mechanism into its component parts. Critic Reviews: "I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful."

What would have made The Lowdown: Doing Business in Mexico better? Much more detailed information about how to speak and dress and...I don't know because I don't have the information. I live here in Mexico and I know that I offend people sometimes with my plain speech and at times I still don't know why. There are some just plain untruths in this book. Yes it is proper to dress "formally" but women dress quite outrageously at times. Even high-level business women. I think there has to be a middle ground for a woman from another country so that people don't think she's too stiff. I think it's a very hard line to walk and would like more specific help. What was most disappointing about Christopher Wests story? Yes, I want to find a book that speaks much more in depth about the question of business relationships in Mexico. What about Trevor White and Lorelei King s performance did you like? The performance was fine, very easy to understand and listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Social-Innovation-Inc-Audiobook/B00A4FOLX8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Intersection of social change and business value Finally a book that shows doing social good isn't just a PR strategy, its a business strategy that can drive social change AND generate profits. Author Jason Saul offers novel ways to think about responsible business, giving readers many largely unknown examples of innovative companies driving business growth through social change. What is important about the book and all the very tangible examples, is that the companies presented pioneered a business strategy that leveraged social change as a way to drive profitable business growth. It was part of the core business. It was not charity. Nor was it traditional CSR initiatives - many of which aren't tied to business objectives. The businesses showcased developed products and/or services that added real value to society, helped to create social change AND was tied to business objectives, profits and growth. Saul navigates through 5 social innovation strategies that businesses should consider, describing how firms can create revenues through sub-market products and services; entering new markets through backdoor channels; building emotional bonds with customers; developing new pipelines for talent; and influencing policy through reverse lobbying. This is a must-read book. It's new thinking about social issues as corporate strategy. It provides a practical and actionable framework to generate real business value through positive social change. The next evolution of business and social good with winning examples and a prescription for success This book is all about the successful combination of business goals and social good. Saul demonstrates how corporate social responsibility, often disconnected, does not have to be that way. In fact, with this book, he shows how several firms have aligned CSR with their business goals and delivered astonishing value benefiting society as well as employees and shareholders. Furthermore, Social Innovation Inc. lays out a clear prescription for success. If your game is innovation... or you plan on starting a business or shaping the strategy of the one you are in, this book is for you. Economic Resource Excellent learning material for an economic class. I like the fact that it is not too big like a lot of my course material. I am in my fourth week of usage and find pertinent information for my studies. Required for Class I had this book because I needed for a class, but I definitely enjoyed reading it. Saul brings out very valid ways to approach corporate social responsiblity for any business model.

(The American Prospect) Members Reviews: Dean Baker is a great Economist. This book is a great listen. I read it 1 or 2 sittings and plan on listening to it many more times. Baker breaks down the causes of the two recent bubbles (the stock bubble of the late 90's and the recent housing bubble), and describes the fallout in detail. I am not very knowledge of this material (yet), but was able to grasp all of his concepts and learned a tremendous amount. For example, he talks about the dangers of an overvalued dollar and the ensuing trade deficit. Some of the concepts were foreign to me, but I was easily able to comprehend them, due to the concise language used by the author. His critique of Fed Chairman Allan Greenspan was fascinating. He sites an article in the Washington Post where Greenspan implied he didn't know the dangers of the sub-prime mortgage market as he left the Fed in 2005, and didn't bother pass this knowledge on to incoming Fed Chair Ben Bernanke. As if this data was difficult to access for an economist of this stature. This is a reoccurring theme in the book, major economists across the board failed to recognize either bubble. Even though the data was staring them in the face.For anyone investing in the stock market and or housing, this book is a must read. Not to mention the price is right! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/From-Start-Up-to-Success-in-Internet-Years-Audiobook/B002V5IYU0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A fine tour of this law I am satisfied this author has had a good look at this law, as well as its surrounding players, history and influences. He makes a very accessible summary of all these things. I don't have to agree with every opinion, to acknowledge he has done interested persons a service. A person who followed the whole story systematically in the press, and did some good long thinking, might arrive at similar knowledge. But I am happy to pay Mr Skeel to do so much of the heavy lifting. Of course, the story is unfolding as I write this, not least in the substantial additional regulations under consideration. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Comeback-America-Audiobook/B0032EVG4K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Comeback America Subtitle: Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility Author: David M. Walker Narrator: Bob Walter Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 12-31-09 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 55 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: He's one of America's most capable, canny, candid, and independent financial experts. Now David M. Walker sounds a call to action. Comeback America is a tough-minded, innovative, inspiring guide to help us avoid the approaching economic abyss and put the country back on track again. As comptroller general of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) - "the nation's top auditor" - Walker warned Congress and the administration as the federal surplus became a giant deficit under George W. Bush. As president and CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, he now works full-time to raise public awareness regarding mounting debt burdens being imposed on future generations. Comeback America is his crucial manifesto, a way for President Obama to end out-of-control government spending and reform our tax, retirement, health care, defense, and other systems - before it's too late. Walker believes that by 2030, absent significant reforms to current government programs and policies, federal taxes could double from current levels, meaning less money and poorer education for kids, which will hurt families along with our nation's economic strength and position in the world. If our foreign creditors - such as China - decide to buy fewer of our Treasury bonds, interest rates will rise and cars and homes will become less affordable. But it doesn't have to be that way. Comeback America shows how we can return to our founding principles of fiscal responsibility and stewardship for future generations. The book includes bold ideas to control spending, save Social Security, dramatically alter Medicare, and simplify the tax code - all taking into account the Obama administration's current efforts, which receive never-before-published assessments, both complimentary and critical. Critic Reviews: "David Walker shows us how to regain fiscal sanity and why, if we don't, we're at risk of bequeathing a lower standard of living to our children and becoming a second-rate power. Every American should read this book, because Walker gives us specific solutions, and shows there is still hope." (Former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley) "Please read this book by David Walker. No one has worked harder, been armed with more facts, written more clearly and been more dedicated to the mission of restoring confidence in our fiscal affairs and trust in government." (Paul Volcker, Chairman of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board and Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve) "Dave Walker has lifted the hood on the federal government, diagnosed the problems, and provided a number of sensible suggestions to help restore America's greatness. Read this book if you care about America's future." (Ross Perot) bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (David M.

(Ross Perot) Members Reviews: Comeback America Those that listen to this book in its entirety will discover that the author does an excellent job of providing a detailed plan for fixing our financial system. Anyone that states otherwise failed to listen to the entire book or he or she allowed their political biases to cloud their assessment of this offering. Not easy "read" but incredibly important Ok, the subject matter is dry, but this book is so important that it should be required reading for every citizen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Bitcoin-A-Beginners-Guide-to-Cryptocurrency-Audiobook/B07613677S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Bitcoin: A Beginner's Guide to Cryptocurrency Author: Alan D. Rice Narrator: William Anthony Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Alan D. Rice Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Bitcoins have shaken the financial world to its very core in a way that no one could have predicted when they first came into existence less than a decade ago. Since their inception, billions have been made and lost in a quest to maximize profit while minimizing risk. If you are looking for ways to do the former while minimizing your chance at the latter, then Bitcoin: A Beginner's Guide is the book that you have been waiting for. Thousands of years ago, commodities such as cows and chickens were essentially considered currencies and were bartered amongst those living in isolated groups to form basic micro-economies. From there, modernization and urbanization brought about the creation of currencies as we know them today, coin and paper money that is issued by a central government and, theoretically at least, backed by an asset like silver and gold. Cryptocurrencies are the next logical step in this process and bitcoin, since it was the first to see mass adoption is currently the forerunner in this space. Due to a mix of extreme popularity and a high degree of volatility, bitcoins offer up a means of investing that has the potential to be extremely lucrative while at the same time providing practically no barrier to entry. Inside you learn ways to take advantage of this fact to invest in them in such a way that you have a chance to see extreme profits virtually overnight. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Alan D.

Title: World War 3.0 Subtitle: Microsoft and Its Enemies Author: Ken Auletta Narrator: Robert O'Keefe Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs Language: English Release date: 01-15-01 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 56 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: No one has been more powerful or felt more fear or reacted more violently than Bill Gates and Microsoft. Afraid that any number of competitors might outflank it - whether Netscape or Sony or AOL Time Warner or Sun or AT&T or Linux-based companies that champion the open-source movement or some college student hacking in his dorm room - Microsoft has waged holy war on all foes, leveraging its imposing strengths. In World War 3.0, Ken Auletta chronicles this fierce conflict from the vantage of its most important theater of operations: the devastating second front opened up against Bill Gates' empire by the United States government. With his superb gifts and extraordinary access to all the principal parties, Ken Auletta crafts this landmark confrontation into a tight character- and incident-filled courtroom drama featuring the best legal minds of our time. And with the wisdom gleaned from covering the converging media, software, and communications industries for The New Yorker for the better part of a decade, Auletta uses this pivotal battle to shape a magisterial reckoning with the larger war and the agendas, personalities, and prospects of its many combatants. Critic Reviews: "A highly compelling account of the extraordinary trial that challenged the invincibility of the world's most powerful corporation. Auletta reveals the personalities behind the headlines and brings into sharp focus the very human qualities that have made Microsoft so powerful - and so vulnerable." - Kim Polese, chairman and chief strategy officer, Marimba, Inc. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Ken Auletta) Mon, 15 Jan 2001 22:32:41 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/World-War-30-Audiobook/B002UZL7UU thebookvoice.com 00:06:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Biased and boring Very one-sided (anti-Microsoft) - I guess if you're a Microsoft-hater you'll probably like it, but otherwise skip it. Dry If you want some court transcripts read to you, then listen to this book. If you are looking for color, insight, or just a good listen -avoid this one. Somewhat interesting, terrible narrator This book is a somewhat interesting insight into legal issues that Microsoft faced in the mid-to-late 90s. The narrator is the worst I've heard. He sounds like a boring drone and sometimes reminded me of a synthetic computer voice. Don't waste your money or credits, and skip this one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Sovereign-Debt-Audiobook/B004CSPRPY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Sovereign Debt Subtitle: Money Author: iMinds Narrator: Emily Sophie Knapp Format: Unabridged Length: 7 mins Language: English Release date: 11-17-10 Publisher: iMinds Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Learn about sovereign debt with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. Sovereign debt is the debt of a country or government. This debt is usually comprised of bonds issued by the government. Sovereign debt can be contrasted with government debt. Government debt is when bonds are issued in a nations own currency. Therefore, this debt is mostly created within a countrys own economic boundaries. Sovereign debt, however, is created from bonds issued in foreign currencies or through loans from international financial institutions. The total of debts owed to both domestic and foreign lenders is known as national debt. National debt issued to both domestic and foreign parties is typically issued via bonds. A bond is basically an IOU. The investor will lend money to the government and the government will, at some point, repay the investor. The bond states the specific date that it will mature, that is, when it will be repaid, and the rate of interest the bond will accrue. Bonds, while different in many ways, are similar to stocks in that they are able to be traded. Bonds tend to be issued only by large corporate bodies or governments, due to the risk of the issuer not being able to repay the bond once it matures. iMinds will hone your financial knowledge with its insightful series looking at topics related to Money, Investment and Finance.. whether an amateur or specialist in the field, iMinds targeted fast knowledge series will whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.iMinds unique fast-learning modules as seen in the Financial Times, Wired, Vogue, Robb Report, Sky News, LA Times, Mashable and many others.. the future of general knowledge acquisition.

Bonds, while different in many ways, are similar to stocks in that they are able to be traded. Bonds tend to be issued only by large corporate bodies or governments, due to the risk of the issuer not being able to repay the bond once it matures. iMinds will hone your financial knowledge with its insightful series looking at topics related to Money, Investment and Finance.. whether an amateur or specialist in the field, iMinds targeted fast knowledge series will whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.iMinds unique fast-learning modules as seen in the Financial Times, Wired, Vogue, Robb Report, Sky News, LA Times, Mashable and many others.. the future of general knowledge acquisition.

With his trademark narrative panache, Lowenstein unravels the truth about how pensions work in America and illuminates the impending crisis. Members Reviews: A dry departure from L's usual page turner, but This is an outstanding condensation of the the history of US labor relations as they unfolded within the Auto industry. Lowenstien paints a grim, but I fear all too accurate, picture of the futility of taxpayer recent bailout of an already comatose industry. He is even handed in his citing of causes: inept management and a culture of expediency matched by an ever over reaching UAW. Even more sobering is his treatment of New York City and State, the culture of cronyism and pandering that lead to disastrous and irrevocable concessions given to the unions over the years. Lowenstien names names, and cites specific salaries and pension obligations and points out those who stand to earn more in retirement at the age of 55 or younger, than they did while they were working. Astonishing. Read this book before the next strike is threatened. More detail than I wanted I listened to this book in order to better understand pensions, since I am (apparently) part of a shrinking number of working Americans still accruing a one. The book goes into a little more detail than I had hoped for, particularly in regards to the San Diego pension crisis and the NY city workers pension fiasco. The reader is not the best, either. So, while you get the general concepts behind why pensions are being phased out, you may feel bogged down a bit by the minutia. While America Aged An interesting book. However, the monotone voice of the reader makes it hard to listen. True stories you won't forget Roger Lowenstein lays out a complicated topic in an accessible story form. Well worth the time to educate yourself on this topic. I will be paying attention to the politics and police/firefighters union negotiations from now on. Timely information neutral presentation Good coverage of combined misuse of trust by retirees in the system. The attempts to maintain an "unbiased position" leave the implication that the workers are equally to blame as the owners. If that is so, how do we explain the massive shift in wealth distribution -- the autoworker who retires at 50 years old does not have a comparable portion to the CEO who is let go with a REAL golden parachute. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Business/Underwriting-Audiobook/B004D655QG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/844/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Underwriting Subtitle: Money Author: iMinds Narrator: Emily Sophie Knapp Format: Unabridged Length: 7 mins Language: English Release date: 11-22-10 Publisher: iMinds Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy Publisher's Summary: Learn about Underwriting with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. Underwriting is the process of issuing insurance policies. A company underwrites your policy when it agrees to insure you or your property in exchange for the premiums you pay. Underwriting is carried out by either an insurance company or a professional underwriter. Underwriters assess risks and decide whether to accept applications for insurance cover and, if so, under what terms they are valid. The underwriting profession achieved its name from British mercantile endeavors in the early-eighteenth century. The Britain of this age was in the process of building a vast empire. Along with such countries as the Netherlands and France it was conducting international trade on an ever-increasing scale. In London, a man by the name of Edward Lloyd used his well-placed café to enter the marine trade. Lloyd made his coffee house a base where sea captains gave the latest reports of ships sighted. As a result, Lloyds coffee house soon became known as a center for marine intelligence. And due to its knowledge of maritime matters, Lloyds became the ideal place to conduct maritime insurance. Before Lloyds, many insurance policies were negotiated after damages had occurred. However, at Lloyds, insurance was decided upon prior to the departure of cargo. An agreed amount was reached and those who sealed the deal wrote their name under the specified premium. Thus, the term underwriting was born. iMinds will hone your financial knowledge with its insightful series looking at topics related to Money, Investment and Finance.. whether an amateur or specialist in the field, iMinds targeted fast knowledge series will whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.iMinds unique fast-learning modules as seen in the Financial Times, Wired, Vogue, Robb Report, Sky News, LA Times, Mashable and many others.. the future of general knowledge acquisition. Editorial Reviews: In the late 1600s, boat owners sought insurance against shipwreck when their boats went out to sea. Investors would accept a bit of money from these owners and then sign their names under the information detailing the risk. If a boat got wrecked, the investors were on the hook. Today, the process has changed, but the purpose has not. If financial jargon such as "underwriting" or "derivative" confuses you, iMinds series of extremely short audiobooks is a good place to clear that confusion. Written in an exceptionally forthright, crystal-clear manner and narrated by the pleasant voice of Emily Sophie Knapp, iMinds is a popular stop for anyone seeking to fill in their gaps in financial knowledge.
