The Accidental Investment Banker: Inside the Decade that Transformed Wall Street артикул 9097b.

Jonathan A Knee had a ringside seat during the go-go, boom-and-bust decade and into the 21st century, at the two most prestigious investment banks on Wall Street--Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley In this candid and irreverent insider's account of an industry in free fall, Knee captures an exhilarating era of fabulous deal-making in a free-wheeling одецф Internet economy--and the catastrophe that followed when the bubble burst Populated with power players, back stabbers, celebrity bankers, and godzillionaires, here is a vivid account of the dramatic upheaval that took place in investment banking Indeed, Knee entered an industry that was typified by the motto "first-class business in a first-class way" and saw it transformed in a decade to a free-for-all typified by the acronym IBG, YBG ("I'll be gone, you'll be gone") Increasingly mercenary bankers signed off on weak deals, knowing they would leave them in the rear-view mirror Once, investment bankers prospered largely on their success in serving the client, preserving the firm, and protecting the public interest Now, in the "financial supermarket" era, bankers felt not only that each day might be their last, but that their worth was tied exclusively to how much revenue they generated for the firm on that day--regardless of the source Today, most young executives feel no loyalty to their firms, and among their clients, Knee finds an unprecedented but understandable level of cynicism and distrust of investment banks Brimming with insight into what investment bankers actually do, and told with biting humor and unflinching honesty, The Accidental Investment Banker offers a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of the most powerful companies on Wall Street.  2006 г Твердый переплет, 272 стр ISBN 0195307925.

On The Wealth of Nations (Books That Changed the World) артикул 9107b.

As one of the first titles in Atlantic Monthly Press’ “Books That Changed the World” series, America’s most provocative satirist, P J O’Rourke, reads Adam Smith’s revolutionary The Wealth of Nations so you don’t have to Recognized almost instantly on its publication in 1776 as the fundamental work of economics, The Wealth of Nations одечт was also recognized as really long: the original edition totaled over nine hundred pages in two volumes—including the blockbuster sixty-seven-page “digression concerning the variations in the value of silver during the course of the last four centuries,” which, “to those uninterested in the historiography of currency supply, is like reading Modern Maturity in Urdu ” Although daunting, Smith’s tome is still essential to understanding such current hot-topics as outsourcing, trade imbalances, and Angelina Jolie In this hilarious, approachable, and insightful examination of Smith and his groundbreaking work, P J puts his trademark wit to good use, and shows us why Smith is still relevant, why what seems obvious now was once revolutionary, and why the pursuit of self-interest is so important.  2006 г Твердый переплет, 256 стр ISBN 0871139499.

Capital Intentions: Female Proprietors in San Francisco, 1850-1920 (The Luther H Hodges Jr and Luther H Hodges Sr Series on Business, Society, and the State) артикул 9111b.

Late nineteenth-century San Francisco was an ethnically diverse but male-dominated society bustling from a rowdy gold rush, recovery from the earthquake, and explosive economic growth Within this booming marketplace, some women stepped beyond their roles as wives, caregivers, and homemakers to start businesses that combined family concerns одечщ with money-making activities Edith Sparks traces the experiences of these women entrepreneurs, exploring who they were, why they started businesses, how they attracted customers and managed finances, and how they dealt with failure Using a unique sample of bankruptcy records, credit reports, advertisements, city directories, census reports, and other sources, Sparks argues that women were competitive, economic actors, strategizing how best to capitalize on their skills in the marketplace Their boardinghouses, restaurants, saloons, beauty shops, laundries, and clothing stores dotted the city's landscape By the early twentieth century, however, technological advances, new preferences for name-brand goods, and competition from large-scale retailers constricted opportunities for women entrepreneurs at the same time that new opportunities for women with families drew them into other occupations Sparks's analysis demonstrates that these businesswomen were intimately tied to the fortunes of the city over its first seventy years.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 320 стр ISBN 0807857750.

For much of the past century California was the envy of the continent, not just for what nature had made but for what civil society had created: speedy freeways, well-supported schools, the world's best public university system, public works that made the desert bloom Not any more California's public works and social services are crumbling, and одешб public education has plunged from the top to near-bottom in nationwide measures How could the American dream go so wrong so fast? Originally published in 1998, Peter Schrag's view of California seems as applicable as ever In his new preface to the 2004 edition, Schrag updates the California scene and considers the fallout from such political earthquakes as the 2003 recall election.  2004 г Мягкая обложка, 370 стр ISBN 0520243870.

Science and Religion, 1450--1900: From Copernicus to Darwin артикул 9115b.

Galileo Newton Darwin These giants are remembered for their great contributions to science Often forgotten, however, is the profound influence that Christianity had on their lives and work This study explores the many ways in which religion -- its ideas, attitudes, practices, and institutions -- interacted with science from the beginnings одешг of the Scientific Revolution to the end of the nineteenth century Both scientists and persons of faith sometimes characterize the relationship between science and religion as confrontational Historian Richard G Olson finds instead that the interactions between science and religion in Western Christendom have been complex, often mutually supportive, even transformative This book explores those interactions by focusing on a sequence of major religious and intellectual movements -- from Christian Humanist efforts to turn science from a primarily contemplative exercise to an activity aimed at improving the quality of human life, to the widely varied Christian responses to Darwinian ideas in both Europe and North America during the second half of the nineteenth century.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 312 стр ISBN 0801884004.

The Palestinian Peasant Economy under the Mandate: A Story of Colonial Bungling (Harvard Middle Eastern Monographs) артикул 9119b.

Challenging the claim that Palestine's peasant economy progressed during the 1920s and 1930s, Amos Nadan skillfully integrates a wide variety of sources to demonstrate that the period was actually one of deterioration on both the macro (per capita) and micro levels The economy would have most likely continued its downward spiral during the 1940s одешз had it not been for the temporary prosperity that resulted from World War II Nadan argues that this deterioration continued despite the British authorities' channeling of funds from the Jewish sector and the wealthier Arab sectors into projects for the Arab rural economy The British were hoping that Palestine's peasants would not rebel if their economic conditions improved These programs were, on the whole, defective because the British chose programs based on an assumption that the peasants were too ignorant to manage their farms wisely, instead of working with the peasants and their own institutions.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 256 стр ISBN 0674021355.

The Authentic Adam Smith: His Life and Ideas (Enterprise) (Enterprise) артикул 9129b.

Celebrated author James Buchan breathes new life into Adam Smith's legacy and the beginnings of modern economics The Scottish philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790) has been adopted by neoconservatives as the ideological father of unregulated business and small government Politicians such as Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan promoted Smith's одешэ famous 1776 book, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, as the bible of laissez- faire economics In this vigorous, crisp, and accessible book, James Buchan refutes much of what modern politicians and economists claim about Adam Smith and shows that, in fact, Smith transcends modern political categories Drawing on twenty-five years of research, Buchan demonstrates that The Wealth of Nations and Smith's 1759 masterpiece, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, are just brilliant fragments of one of the most ambitious philosophical enterprises ever attempted: the search for a just foundation for modern commercial society both in private and in public In an increasingly crowded and discontented world, this search is ever more urgent.  2006 г Твердый переплет, 256 стр ISBN 0393061213.

Virtue, Fortune, and Faith: A Genealogy of Finance (Borderlines) артикул 9131b.

Less than two centuries ago finance - today viewed as the center of economic necessity and epitome of scientific respectability - stood condemned as disreputable fraud How this change in status came about, and what it reveals about the nature of finance, is the story told in Virtue, Fortune, and Faith A unique cultural history of modern financial одеще markets from the early eighteenth century to the present day, the book offers a genealogical reading of the historical insecurities, debates, and controversies that had to be purged from nascent credit practices in order to produce the image of today's coherent and - largely - rational global financial sphere Marieke de Goede discusses moral, religious, and political transformations that have slowly naturalized the domain of finance Using a deft integration of feminist and poststructuralist approaches, her book demonstrates that finance - not just its rules of personal engagement, but also its statistics, formulas, instruments, and institutions - is a profoundly cultural and politically contingent practice When closely examined, the history of finance is one of colonial conquest, sexual imagination, constructions of time, and discourses of legitimate (or illegitimate) profit making Regardless, this history has had a far-reaching impact on the development of the modern international financial institutions that act as the stewards of the world's economic resources De Goede explores the political contestations over ideas of time and money; the gendered discourse of credit and credibility; differences among gambling, finance, and speculation; debates over the proper definition of the free market; the meaning of financial crisis; and the morality of speculation In an era when financial practices are pronounced too specialized for broad-based public, democratic debate, Virtue, Fortune, and Faith questions assumptions about international finance's unchallenged position and effectively exposes its ambiguous scientific authority.  2005 г Мягкая обложка, 272 стр ISBN 0816644152.

The Hidden Debate: The Truth Revealed about the Battle over Affirmative Action in South Africa and the United States (African Studies: History, Politics, Economics and Culture) артикул 9096b.

The Hidden Debate is a fresh and cutting-edge comparative analysis of the ongoing and highly charged social conflict over affirmative action in South Africa and the United States The debate over affirmative action has raged for over 30 years in the United States and since the early 1990s in South Africa with minimal agreement or resolution In part одецп this discord remains because scholars, journalists, politicians, and other social analysts have failed to properly specify and examine the problem In The Hidden Debate, Dr Khalfani develops the shell/core embedded conflict theory, a new theoretical approach to understanding social conflict, which argues that public debates over policy issues like affirmative action are at a stasis because the debating parties are not directly debating the true sources of the social conflict These debaters are only engaged in a discourse at the surface of the issue This is the shell debate The core debate is indirectly addressed, at best The conflict at the core level is over divergent interpretations of the core societal principles of liberty, equality, and justice We examine these principles extensively using philosophical analysis to articulate how individuals or groups come to understand and attain core principles The Hidden Debate demonstrates that different populations, primarily African-origin and European-origin populations, interpret and view core societal principles differently and that these divergences represent the core conflict over the implementation of affirmative action policies and programs, and that these divergences are intimately linked to the racialized histories and legacies of these populations and countries.  2005 г Твердый переплет, 224 стр ISBN 041597691X.

The Urban Household Energy Transition : Social and Environmental Impacts in the Developing World (RFF Press) артикул 9104b.
The Urban Household Energy Transition : Social and Environmental Impacts in the Developing World (RFF Press) артикул 9104b.

As cities in developing countries grow and become more prosperous, energy use shifts from fuelwood to fuels like charcoal, kerosene and coal, and, ultimately, to fuels such as liquid petroleum gas, and electricity Energy use is not usually considered a socio-economic issue Yet, as this book demonstrates, the movement away from traditional fuels одечз has a strong social class dimension, as poor people are the last to attain the benefits of using modern energy The result is that health risks from the continued use of wood fuel fall most heavily on the poor, and indoor pollution from wood stoves has its greatest effect on women and children who cook and spend much more of their time indoors Barnes, Krutilla, and Hyde provide the first worldwide assessment of the energy transition as it occurs in urban households, drawing upon data collected by the World Bank Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP) From 1984-2000, the program conducted over 25,000 household surveys in 45 cities spanning 12 countries and 3 continents Additionally, GIS mapping software was used to compile a biomass database of vegetation patterns surrounding 34 cities Using this rich set of data, the authors describe problems and policy options associated with each stage in the energy transition The authors show how the poorest are most vulnerable to changes in energy markets and demonstrate how the collection of biomass fuel contributes to deforestation Their book serves as an important contribution to development studies, and as a guide for policymakers hoping to encourage sustainable energy markets and an improved quality of life for growing urban populations.  2005 г Твердый переплет, 144 стр ISBN 1933115068.

Pretend We're Dead: Capitalist Monsters in American Pop Culture артикул 9108b.

In Pretend We’re Dead, Annalee Newitz argues that the slimy zombies and gore-soaked murderers who have stormed through American film and literature over the past century embody the violent contradictions of capitalism Ravaged by overwork, alienated by corporate conformity, and mutilated by the unfettered lust for profit, fictional monsters одечх act out the problems with an economic system that seems designed to eat people whole Newitz looks at representations of serial killers, mad doctors, the undead, cyborgs, and unfortunates mutated by their involvement with the mass media industry Whether considering the serial killer who turns murder into a kind of labor by mass producing dead bodies, or the hack writers and bloodthirsty actresses trapped inside Hollywood’s profit-mad storytelling machine, she reveals that each creature has its own tale to tell about how a freewheeling market economy turns human beings into monstrosities Newitz tracks the monsters spawned by capitalism through b movies, Hollywood blockbusters, pulp fiction, and American literary classics, looking at their manifestations in works such as Norman Mailer’s “true life novel” The Executioner’s Song; the short stories of Isaac Asimov and H P Lovecraft; the cyberpunk novels of William Gibson and Marge Piercy; true-crime books about the serial killers Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer; and movies including Modern Times (1936), Donovan’s Brain (1953), Night of the Living Dead (1968), RoboCop (1987), The Silence of the Lambs (1991), and Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) Newitz shows that as literature and film tell it, the story of American capitalism since the late nineteenth century is a tale of body-mangling, soul-crushing horror.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 223 стр ISBN 0822337452.

The Time Divide: Work, Family, and Gender Inequality (The Family and Public Policy) артикул 9118b.

In a panoramic study that draws on diverse sources, Jerry Jacobs and Kathleen Gerson explain why and how time pressures have emerged and what we can do to alleviate them In contrast to the conventional wisdom that all Americans are overworked, they show that time itself has become a form of social inequality that is dividing Americans in new ways--between одешж the overworked and the underemployed, women and men, parents and non-parents They piece together a compelling story of the increasing mismatch between our economic system and the needs of American families, sorting out important trends such as the rise of demanding jobs and the emergence of new pressures on dual earner families and single parents Comparing American workers with their European peers, Jacobs and Gerson also find that policies that are simultaneously family-friendly and gender equitable are not fully realized in any of the countries they examine As a consequence, they argue that the United States needs to forge a new set of solutions that offer American workers new ways to integrate work and family life.  2005 г Мягкая обложка, 272 стр ISBN 0674018397.
