From one of America's foremost economic and political thinkerscomes a vital analysis of our new hypercompetitive andturbo-charged global economy and the effect it is having onAmerican democracy. With his customary wit and insight, Reich showshow widening inequality of income and wealth, heightened jobinsecurity, and corporate corruption are merely the logical resultsof a system in which politicians are more beholden to the influenceof business lobbyists than to the voters who elected them. Powerful andthought-provoking, Supercapitalism argues that a clearseparation of politics and capitalism will foster an enviroment inwhich both business and government thrive, by putting capitalism inthe service of democracy, and not the other way around.

Referring to his first book, It's Not How Good You Are, It'sHow Good You Want to Be, Arden describes himself as "author ofworld's bestselling book," ably demonstrating one nugget of wisdomto be found in his latest: "Great people have great egos; maybethat's what makes them great." Otherwise, the book suggests thatArden is less a great person (or a great author) than a greatformer creative director at advertising powerhouse Saatchi andSaatchi. In the restrictive, often repetitive genre of managementby aphorism, Arden is an original: master of the snappy maxim andeye-catching graphic, Arden advocates unconventional thinking,skipping college, taking risks, being outrageous and failingdramatically. Missing is a page in this book emblazoned "Take myadvice with a grain of salt," or "Triumph for an advertisingcopywriter may be disaster for an accountant." Nevertheless, Mr.Arden's books are a pleasure to peruse. His writing is spare,clever, brisk and pointed. Illustrations are clean and witty. Thinkyou whateve
Now nearing its 60th printing in English and translated into nineteen languages, Michael E. Porter's Competitive Strategy has transformed the theory, practice, and teaching of business strategy throughout the world. Electrifying in its simplicity -- like all great breakthroughs -- Porter's analysis of industries captures the complexity of industry competition in five underlying forces. Porter introduces one of the most powerful competitive tools yet developed: his three generic strategies -- lowest cost, differentiation, and focus -- which bring structure to the task of strategic positioning. He shows how competitive advantage can be defined in terms of relative cost and relative prices, thus linking it directly to profitability, and presents a whole new perspective on how profit is created and divided. In the almost two decades since publication, Porter's framework for predicting competitor behavior has transformed the way in which companies look at their rivals and has given rise to the new discipline of co
The legitimate use of force is generally presumed to be therealm of the state. However, the flourishing role of the privatesector in security over the last twenty years has brought this intoquestion. In this book Deborah Avant examines the privatization ofsecurity and its impact on the control of force. She describes thegrowth of private security companies, explains how the industryworks, and describes its range of customers – including states,non-government organisations and commercial transnationalcorporations. She charts the inevitable trade-offs that the marketfor force imposes on the states, firms and people wishing tocontrol it, suggests a new way to think about the control of force,and offers a model of institutional analysis that draws on botheconomic and sociological reasoning. The book contains case studiesdrawn from the US and Europe as well as Africa and the MiddleEast.

A vividly told history of greed and its greatest practitionersin the last forty years, and how it gave rise to our currenteconomic ills. As Jeff Madrick makes clear in a narrative at once sweeping andincisive, the single-minded pursuit of huge personal wealth did notstart in the 2000s but has been on the rise in the United Statessince the 1970s, led by a few individuals who argued thatself-interest guides society more effectively than communityconcerns. In telling the stories of these politicians, economists, andfinanciers—who declared a moral battle for freedom but gave rise toan age of greed—Madrick traces the lineage of some of our nation’smost pressing economic problems.
