Item description from seller

300 Pp. Blue Cloth Stamped In Silver And In Blind. First American Edition Stated. Fine In Near Fine Dust Jacket Priced $8.95. "Lateral Thinking Is A Basic Way Of Using Information To Bring About Creativity And Intuition". The Unanswered Question Is, How Does One Use Creativity To Develop Information Itself? Per Wikipedia, Edward Charles Francis Publius De Bono (1933 – 2021) Was A Maltese Physician, Psychologist, Author, Inventor And Broadcaster. He Originated The Term Lateral Thinking, Wrote Many Books On Thinking Including Six Thinking Hats, And Was A Proponent Of The Teaching Of Thinking As A Subject In Schools. The Originator Of The Term 'Lateral Thinking', De Bono Wrote 85 Books With Translations Into 46 Languages.[7] He Taught His Thinking Methods To Government Agencies, Corporate Clients, Organizations And Individuals, Privately Or Publicly In Group Sessions.

In 2005, He Was Nominated (And Reached The Shortlist) For The Nobel Prize In Economics. Edward De Bono Argued That Companies Could Raise Money Just As Governments Now Do – By Printing It. He Put Forward The Idea Of Private Currency As A Claim On Products Or Services Produced By The Issuer.

But Companies Should Be Able To Manage That Trick At Least As Easily As Governments Do, Particularly As They Don't Have Voters To Cope With. And With Cryptocurrency, They Don't Need To "Manage" The Money And , Aside From Managing The Volume Issued, It Would Almost Certainly Be Illegal For Them To Do So.…
