Can one be both an ethical person and an effectivebusinessperson? Stephen Green, an ordained priest and the chairmanof HSBC, thinks so. In Good Value , Green retraces thehistory of the global economy and its financial systems, and showsthat while the marketplace has delivered huge advantages tohumanity, it has also abandoned over a billion people to extremepoverty, encouraged overconsumption and debt, and ravaged theenvironment. How do we reconcile the demands of capitalism with both the commongood and our own spiritual and psychological needs as individuals?To answer that, and some of the most vexing questions of our age,Green takes us on a lively and erudite journey through history,looking for lessons in the work of economists and philosophers,businessmen and poets, theologians and novelists, playwrights andpolitical scientists. An essential business book by a man who isuniquely qualified to write it, Good Value is a timely andpersuasive analysis of the most pressing financial and moralquestions we fac

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

Management, as Allen reminds us, is a very serious subject.Unfortunately, though, his presentation of substantiveissues-business purpose, managerial skills, motivation-is tenuousand underdeveloped; and his coverage of organizational theory isanemic, even when addressing the pivotal ideas of Peter Drucker,Theodore Levitt and Douglas MacGregor. Allen, a managementconsultant, selects A.A. Milne's classic characters to probemanagerial functions in "an unfamiliar context, which will allow usto think about them in a new way." But his "new way" fails toinspire. 75,000 first printing; Fortune Book Club and QPBselections; published simultaneously on Penguin-HighbridgeAudio.
