More Money Than God : Hedge funds and the making of a new elite order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 41.00 each
Paperback
Author: Sebastian Mallaby
Published by: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
In Stock: 3
Wealthy, powerful and potentially dangerous, hedge fund moguls have become the It Boys of twenty-first century capitalism, succeeding the leveraged-buyouts barons of the 1980s and the dot-com wizards of the nineties. Their weekend mansions are doffer for "Vanity Fair" photographers; their potential to cause chaos preoccupied authorities even before the recent financial cataclysm. Based on unprecendented access to the industry, including three hundred hours of interveiws and binders of internal documents, "More Money Than God" provides the first authoritative history of hedge funds, telling the inside story of their origins, their explosive battles with central banks and finally their role in the financial crisis of 2007-2008. Hedge funds reward risk-takers, so they tend to attract larger-than-life personalities. Ken Griffin of Citadel started out trading convertible bonds from his dorm room at Harvard; a boy genius made good, the ... more

NZ$ 33.00 each
Paperback
Author: Douglas Rushkoff
Published by: Vintage Books
In Stock: 2
Douglas Rushkoff was mugged outside his apartment on Christmas Eve, but when he posted a friendly warning on his community website, the responses castigated him for potentially harming the local real-estate market. When did these corporate values overtake civic responsibilities? Rushkoff examines how corporatism has become an intrinsic part of our everyday lives, choices and opinions. He demonstrates how this system created a world where everything can be commodified, where communities have dissolved into consumer groups, where fiction and reality have become fundamentally blurred. And, with this system on the verge of collapse, Rushkoff shows how the simple pleasures that make us human can also point the way to freedom.

Animal Spirits: How human psychology drives the economy, and why it matters for global capitalism order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 45.00 each
Paperback
Author: George A. Akerlof
Published by: Princeton University Press
In Stock: 1
The global financial crisis has made it painfully clear that powerful psychological forces are imperiling the wealth of nations today. From blind faith in ever-rising housing prices to plummeting confidence in capital markets, 'animal spirits' are driving financial events worldwide. In this book, acclaimed economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller challenge the economic wisdom that got us into this mess, and put forward a bold new vision that will transform economics and restore prosperity. Akerlof and Shiller reassert the necessity of an active government role in economic policymaking by recovering the idea of animal spirits, a term John Maynard Keynes used to describe the gloom and despondence that led to the Great Depression and the changing psychology that accompanied recovery. Like Keynes, Akerlof and Shiller know that managing these animal spirits requires the steady hand of government - simply allowing markets to work won't ... more

Beyond the Profits System order quantity

NZ$ 50.00 each
Paperback
Author: Harry Shutt
Published by: Zed Books Ltd
In Stock: 1
While many have claimed that no one could have foreseen the financial crisis, Harry Shutt was predicting just such a collapse as far back as 1998 in his book, "The Trouble With Capitalism". In "Beyond the Profit System", Shutt offers a radically different analysis to the mainstream, establishment commentators who have struggled to come to terms with the crisis. Arguing that we need to move away from a system based on a compulsive addiction to growth and obsession with the profit motive, towards a collectivist, more humane economic mode, the book provides not merely a comprehensive background to the flawed ideologies that precipitated the collapse, but also a radical, though realistic, way forward in light of the catastrophe.

Building Strong Brands order quantity

NZ$ 29.00 each
Paperback
Author: David Aaker
Published by: Scribner
In Stock: 1
As industries turn increasingly hostile, it is clear that strong brand-building skills are needed to survive and prosper. In David Aaker's pathbreaking book, MANAGING BRAND EQUITY, managers discovered the value of a brand as a strategic asset and a company's primary source of competitive advantage. Now, in this compelling new work, Aaker uses real brand-building cases from Saturn, General Electric, Kodak, Healthy Choice, McDonald's, and others to demonstrate how strong brands have been created and managed. A common pitfall of brand strategists is to focus on brand attributes. Aaker shows how to break out of the box by considering emotional and self-expressive benefits and by introducing the brand-as-person, brand-as-organisation, and brand-as-symbol perspectives. A second pitfall is to ignore the fact that individual brands are part of a larger system consisting of many intertwined and overlapping brands and subbrands. Aaker shows ... more

Capitalism 4.0 : The birth of a new economy order quantity

NZ$ 39.00 each
Paperback
Author: Anatole Kaletsky
Published by: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
In Stock: 1
The global financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 ruined businesses and banks, individuals and even nations, and seemed to land a mortal blow to the capitalist system. But capitalism has not been destroyed, rather it has been irrevocably altered: the forces that precipitated the crisis are now contributing to the evolution of a new, stronger version of the capitalist model. Tracing the development of capitalism from the late eighteenth century through three distinct historical phases, Kaletsky shows how at each of these transitions the existing economic order appeared to be fatally threatened, only for capitalism to reinvent itself and emerge stronger than before. The turning point for our most recent age of capitalism came on 15 September 2008 when Lehman Brothers collapsed, setting off market chaos which, had it not been for government bailouts and guarantees, would have toppled every bank in the Western world, an incident which set off ... more

Author: Jordan Belfort
Published by: Hachette Australia

In the 1990s Jordan Belfort became one of the most infamous names in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper. He was THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, whose life of greed, power and excess was so outrageous it could only be true: no one could make this up! But the day Jordan was arrested and taken away in handcuffs was not the end of the madness. CATCHING THE WOLF OF WALL STREET tells of what happened next. After getting out of jail on $10 million bail he had to choose whether to plead guilty and act as a government witness or fight the charges and see his wife be charged as well. He cooperated. With his trademark brash, brazen and thoroughly unputdownable storytelling, Jordan details more incredible true tales of fortunes made and lost, money-making schemes, parties, sex, drugs, marriage, divorce and prison.

Author: Jim Stanford

Economics is too important to be left to the economists. This brilliantly concise and readable book provides non-specialist readers with all the information they need to understand how capitalism works (and how it doesn't).

Key concepts such as finance, competition and wage labour are explored, and their importance to everyday life is revealed.Stanford answers questions such as: 'do workers need capitalists?', 'why does capitalism harm the environment?', and 'what really happens on the stock market?' He offers both a realistic assessment of capitalism's strengths, and a robust critique of its many failures. This book will appeal to those working for a fairer world, and students of social sciences who need to engage with economics. The book is illustrated with humorous and educational cartoons by Tony Biddle, and is ... more

Economyths : Ten ways that economics gets it wrong order quantity

NZ$ 39.00 each
Paperback
Author: David Orrell
Published by: Icon Books Ltd
In Stock: 1
From the inability of wealth to make us happier, to our catastrophic blindness to the credit crunch, "Economyths" reveals ten ways in which economics has failed us all. Forecasters predicted a prosperous year in 2008 for financial markets - in one influential survey the average prediction was for an eleven per cent gain. But by the end of the year, the Standard and Poor's 500 index - a key economic barometer - was down 38 per cent, and major economies were plunging into recession. Even the Queen asked - Why did no one see it coming? An even bigger casualty was the credibility of economics, which for decades has claimed that the economy is a rational, stable, efficient machine, governed by well-understood laws. Mathematician David Orrell traces the history of this idea from its roots in ancient Greece to the financial centres of London and New York, shows how it is mistaken, and proposes new alternatives.

Author: Peter Sheahan
Published by: Random House Australia

There is a rich market for books that combine strategic thinking with clear business sense, as shown by the success of Malcolm Gladwell, James Surowiecki, Seth Godin and Chris Anderson. FLIP! is the latest of these -- and Peter Sheahan is perhaps the most original Australian business guru to gain prominence for a generation. Peter, who is still under 30, has built a superb reputation through consulting with major Australian and international organisations, from Gloria Jeans and Borders to Fairfax, PWC, LOreal, the ADF and Westpac. In FLIP! he reveals what the superstars of modern business have in common: an ability to think counter-intuitively, to recognize that given the complex web of relationships, diverging and emerging economies and exceptional speed of techological development the only rule is that there can be no rules. This captures the essence of what a flip is - a bold step taken entirely against the norms of convention. ... more
