Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - When faced with global instability and economic uncertainty, it is tempting for states to react by closing borders, hoarding wealth and solidifying power. We have seen it at various times in Japan, France and Italy and now it is infecting much of Europe and America, as the vote for Brexit in the UK has vividly shown. This insularity, together with increased inequality of income and wealth, threatens the future role of the West as a font of stability, prosperity and security. Part of the problem is that the principles of liberal democracy upon which the success of the West has been built have been suborned, with special interest groups such as bankers accruing too much power and too great a share of the economic cake.So how is this threat to be countered States such as Sweden in the 1990s, California at different times or Britain under Thatcher all halted stagnation by clearing away the powers of interest groups and restoring their societies' ability to evolve. To survive, the West needs to be porous, open and flexible. From reinventing welfare systems to redefining the working age, from reimagining education to embracing automation, Emmott lays out the changes the West must make to revive itself in the moment and avoid a deathly rigid future.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Some questions you never think to ask. Others, you didn't know you didn't know. And some facts are so surprising they cry out for answers. What can a president actually do Why do cities sink into the ground Why is Australia seemingly invulnerable to recessions Why do people in couples do more housework than singletons The brilliant minds of the Economist collect these questions. Individually, they might seem bite-sized and inconsequential, but taken together they can reveal a whole new world.

First collected edition, first impression, first published as a series of essays in 'Intelligent Life / The Economist'. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£12.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks unread. 221pp. From a stunning villa on sunny Capri with Ali Smith to an unlikely temple in the heart of Copenhagen with Alan Hollingshurst 'Treasure Palaces' brings together over twenty of the world's greatest writers to give their own personal tours of the museums that have awed, haunted and inspired them. Join Andrew Motion as he muses on writerly methods in the British Library, or Matthew Sweet at the hands on joy of the ABBA museum. Julian Barnes meditates on Jean Sibelius's music, as well as the composer's apple corer, while visiting his home in Helsinki. Jacqueline Wilson encounters the dolls of Le Musee de la Poupee, Tim Winton remembers his first bare foot encounter with the National Gallery of Victoria, and Aminatta Forna ponders love tokens in The Museum of Broken Relationships. From mausoleums to massive galleries, from London and New York to Kabul and Zagreb, Treasure Palaces explores some of the world's greatest and sometimes surprising museums. The result is a collection of moving, lyrical essays that speak to the enduring power of museums in our cultural life, and will leave you longing to revisit your favourite treasure palace or looking for a new one to explore. Quite a scarce book.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The effectiveness of a good strategy well implemented determines a business' future success or failure. Yet history is full of strategic decisions, big and small, that were ill-conceived, poorly organised and consequently disastrous. This updated guide looks at the whole process of strategic decision-making - from vision, forecasting, and resource allocation, through to implementation and innovation. Strategy is about understanding where you are now, where you are heading and how you will get there. There is no room for timidity or confusion. Although the CEO and the board decide a company's overall direction, it is the managers at all levels of the organisation that will determine how the vision can be transformed into action. In short, everyone is involved in strategy. But getting it right involves difficult choices: which customers to target, what products to offer and the best way to keep costs low and service high. And constantly changing business conditions inevitably bring risks. Even after business strategy has been developed, a company must remain nimble and alert to change, and view strategy as an ongoing and evolving process.The message of this guide is simple: strategy matters, and getting it right is fundamental to business success - this book will show you how.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neu Neuware, Importqualität, auf Lager - So far in the twenty-first century, the USA and its allies have invaded Afghanistan; Russia has waged war with Georgia; the brutal Islamic State (IS) has emerged in the Middle East; and a constant contest for precious minerals in Africa has provoked - and financed - war and carnage. Other conflicts are less bloody, but still dangerous - the nervous stand-off between India and Pakistan in Kashmir, for instance, or the continuing stalemate between North and South Korea. Whether explosive or simmering, the number of violent conflicts in the world is high enough to surprise, intrigue and sober any reader. In The World in Conflict, John Andrews tackles head-on the reasons why global conflict is ever-present in our lives. He analyses today's conflicts region by region, considering the causes, contexts, participants, impacts and likely outcomes. He looks at recently-ended wars that still spawn intermittent fighting. And, crucially, he considers where, why and how new conflicts might erupt. This is a must-read for our times, an essential guide for anyone who wants to know more about the world and its danger spots, and how and why war and terrorism persist - in short, how we might better understand our world in conflict.

Richard Roberts, Professor of Contemporary History in the Department of Political Economy, King's College London. Professor Roberts' contributions to his field include histories of investment banks Schroders (1991) and Orion (2001). He wrote Wall Street (2002) and The City (2008) and co-authored City State (2003). He acted as editorial advisor on the digitization of The Economist and Financial Times. Most recently he had published The Lion Wakes: A Modern History of HSBC (2015) (with David Kynaston), When Britain Went Bust: The 1976 IMF Crisis (OMFIF, 2016); Six Days in September: Black Wednesday, Brexit and the Making of Europe (OMFIF, 2017) (with William Keegan and David Marsh). By many measures, London is now the leading financial center in the world, outpacing New York City and Hong Kong. Ignorance about The City, London's financial district, is no longer an option for those doing business in the global financial markets. The City provides comprehensive, and relevant coverage of what goes on in London's financial services sector and its evolution as the leading financial center in Europe. Essential reading for City and international financial professionals, policy makers, investors, and those seeking a City career. This book explains how every facet of the City works and why it matters.
