Should you take advice from a salesperson? Is the pope atheist? More than the foundation of risk management, skin in the game is an astonishingly complex worldview that, as Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows in this provocative book, applies to all aspects of our lives and drives history. In his inimitable style, he draws on everything from Antaeus the Giant to Donald Trump to Seneca to the ethics of disagreement to how to buy a used car, to create a jaw-dropping tapestry for understanding this idea in a brand new way. Full of philosophical tales and practical stories, Skin in the Game offers a key rule to live by: do not do to others what you don't want them to do to you, with its practical extension: never take advice from someone who gives advice for a living.

Black Edge / Kolhatkar, Sheelah (2017)

Públic ISBD Títol : Black Edge Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Kolhatkar, Sheelah, Autor Editorial : Penguin Random House UK Data de publicació : 2017 Nombre de pàgines : 344 p Dimensions : 19 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-7535-5223-0 Nota general : Inclou notes, fonts i índex Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Borsa de valors -- Estats Units d'Amèrica Classificació : 5 Mercats financers. Borsa de valors Resum : How do super-rich bankers get away with it? There is a powerful new class of billionaire financiers in the world, who use their phenomenal wealth to write their own rules and laws. Chief among them is Steven Cohen, a Wall Street legend, and the basis for Damian Lewis's character in BILLIONS, who built his hedge fund into a $15 billion empire on the basis of wizard-like stock trading, and who flies to work by helicopter and owns one of the largest private art collections in the world. But his iconic status was shattered when his fund became the target of a sprawling FBI investigation into insider trading, charged with using illegal inside information – or ‘black edge’ – to beat the market. His firm, SAC Capital, was ultimately indicted and pled guilty to charges of securities and wire fraud, and paid record criminal and civil fines of nearly $2 billion. But even as the company bearing his name pled guilty, Cohen himself was never charged, and is free to start trading publicly again from January 2018. Black Edge offers a revelatory look at the grey zone in which so much of Wall Street functions, and a window into the transformation of the worldwide economy. With meticulous reporting and powerful storytelling, this is a riveting, true-life legal thriller that takes readers inside the US government’s pursuit of Cohen and his employees, and raises urgent questions about the power and wealth of those who sit at the pinnacle of the financial world.

People, power and profits / Joseph E. Stiglitz (2019)

Públic ISBD Títol : People, power and profits : Progresive capitalism for an age of discontent Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Joseph E. Stiglitz, Autor Editorial : Penguin Random House UK Data de publicació : 2019 Nombre de pàgines : 371 p. Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-241-39923-1 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economia Classificació : 03 Economia política Resum : We all have the sense that the American economy-and its government-tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his powerful new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire. A few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and our government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn't done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment. Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America's economic might and its democracy. Helpless though we may feel today, citizens are far from powerless. In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for us-the U.S. citizens-and not the other way around. If we rally behind the agenda for change outlined in this book, it may not be too late to create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity. Stiglitz shows how a middle-class life can once again be attainable by all. An authoritative account of the predictable dangers of free market fundamentalism and the foundations of progressive capitalism, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis, but also lights a path through this challenging time Nota de contingut : Inclou índex i notes.

Aftermath / Rickards, James (2018)

Públic ISBD Títol : Aftermath : Seven secrets of wealth preservation in the coming chaos Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Rickards, James, Autor Editorial : Penguin Random House UK Data de publicació : 2018 Nombre de pàgines : 352 p. Dimensions : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-241-30408-2 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economia Economia d'empresa Lliure empresa Classificació : 00 Economia Resum : A Wall Street Journal bestseller Financial expert, investment advisor and New York Times bestselling author James Rickards shows why and how global financial markets are being artificially inflated--and what smart investors can do to protect their assets What goes up, must come down. As any student of financial history knows, the dizzying heights of the stock market can't continue indefinitely--especially since asset prices have been artificially inflated by investor optimism around the Trump administration, ruinously low interest rates, and the infiltration of behavioral economics into our financial lives. The elites are prepared, but what's the average investor to do? James Rickards, the author of the prescient books Currency Wars, The Death of Money, and The Road to Ruin, lays out the true risks to our financial system, and offers invaluable advice on how best to weather the storm. You'll learn, for instance: How behavioral economists prop up the market: Funds that administer 401(k)s use all kinds of tricks to make you invest more, inflating asset prices to unsustainable levels. Why digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are best avoided. Why passive investing has been overhyped: The average investor has been scolded into passively managed index funds. But active investors will soon have a big advantage. What the financial landscape will look like after the next crisis: it will not be an apocalypse, but it will be radically different. Those who forsee this landscape can prepare now to preserve wealth. Provocative, stirring, and full of counterintuitive advice, Aftermath is the book every smart investor will want to get their hands on--as soon as possible.

Good Economics for hard times / Abhijit V. Banerjee (2019)

Públic ISBD Títol : Good Economics for hard times : Better answers to our biggest problems Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Abhijit V. Banerjee, Autor ; Esther Duflo, Autor Editorial : Penguin Random House UK Data de publicació : 2019 Nombre de pàgines : 256 p. Dimensions : 24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-241-30689-5 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economia Classificació : 01 Ciència econòmica Resum : FROM THE WINNERS OF THE 2019 NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS 'Wonderfully refreshing . . . A must read' Thomas Piketty In this revolutionary book, prize-winning economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. From immigration to inequality, slowing growth to accelerating climate change, we have the resources to address the challenges we face but we are so often blinded by ideology. Original, provocative and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times offers the new thinking that we need. It builds on cutting-edge research in economics - and years of exploring the most effective solutions to alleviate extreme poverty - to make a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. A much-needed antidote to polarized discourse, this book shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.
