Author: Mike Moore
Published by: John Wiley & Sons

Globalization is not new, nor is it a policy, it's a process that has existed as long as man looked over the horizon, travelled and traded. It can't be stopped but it can be slowed. It came to a grinding halt in August 1914 and the Marxist detour cost millions of lives and lost three generations their opportunity and hope in many countries. More wealth has been created in the past 60 years than in all of history. After the most successful decade of sustained economic growth in history, this progress is threatened.

Extreme inequality, corruption and environmental degradation threaten the stability and legitimacy of many developing countries' regimes. Anti-globalization and anti-capitalist campaigners' confidence has been emboldened due to the present economic crisis. Protectionist rhetoric is growing as are the arguments to control and regulate markets. Leaders are meeting to discuss how to face these problems and create a new ... more

This book provides a riveting indictment of those responsible for our current financial mess. "Bailout Nation" offers one of the clearest looks at the financial lenders, regulators, and politicians responsible for the financial crisis of 2008. Written by Barry Ritholtz, one of today's most popular economic bloggers and a well-established industry pundit, this book skillfully explores how the United States evolved from a rugged independent nation to a soft Bailout Nation - where financial firms are allowed to self-regulate in good times, but are bailed out by taxpayers in bad times. Entertaining and informative, this book clearly shows you how years of trying to control the economy with easy money has finally caught up with the federal government and how its practice of repeatedly rescuing Wall Street has come back to bite them. This is the definitive book on the financial crisis of 2008. It names the villains responsible for this ... more

How to avoid the mistakes that lead to the majority of business failures. Most executives shudder at the word afailurea and try to avoid thinking about it. No wonder there are thousands of books about successful companies but virtually none about the lessons to be learned from those that crash and burn. Paul Carroll and Chunka Mui think thereas enormous value in learning from companies that lost millions (if not billions) in pursuit of strategies that led to spectacular flameouts. Everyone makes mistakes, but why make the same mistakes over and over? The authors studied the most significant failures of the last twenty-five years: 750 bankruptcies, major writeoffs, and discontinued operations. They found that the #1 cause of failure was misguided strategya not sloppy execution, lack of leadership, or bad luck. These strategies fall into eight categories, including: a Trying to fix a core business thatas unfixable a Moving into ... more

Paperback
Author: Martin Lindstrom
Published by: Random House Business Books

Most anti-smoking campaigns inadvertently encourage people to smoke. The scent of melons helps sell electronic products. Subliminal advertising may have been banned, but it's being used all the time. Product placement in films rarely works. Many multi-million pound advertising campaigns are a complete waste of time. These are just a few of the findings of Martin Lindstrom's groundbreaking study of what really makes consumers tick. Convinced that there is a gulf between what we believe influences us and what actually does, he set up a highly ambitious research project that employed the very latest in brain-scanning technology and called on the services of some 2000 volunteers. "Buyology" shares the fruits of this research, revealing for the first time what actually goes on inside our heads when we see an advertisement, hear a marketing slogan, taste two rival brands of drink, or watch a programme sponsored by a major company.

Can We Afford the Future? order quantity

NZ$ 43.00 each
Paperback
Author: Frank Ackerman
Published by: Zed Books Ltd
In Stock: 1
In this book, Frank Ackerman offers a refreshing look at the economics of climate change, explaining how the arbitrary assumptions of conventional theories get in the way of understanding this urgent problem. The benefits of climate protection are vital but priceless, and hence often devalued in cost-benefit calculations. Preparation for the most predictable outcomes of global warming is less important than protection against the growing risk of catastrophic change; massive investment in new, low carbon technologies and industries should be thought of as life insurance for the planet. Ackerman makes an impassioned plea to construct a better economics, arguing that the solutions are affordable and the alternative is unthinkable. If we can't afford the future, what are we saving our money for? "Can we Afford the Future?" is part of "The New Economics" series, which uses the ideas behind a new, more human economics to provide a fresh way ... more

A manager spots consumer-spending patterns no one else sees and defines new market categories your enterprise can serve. A strategist anticipates global changes and correctly interprets their business implications. Companies' competitiveness, even survival, increasingly hinge on such 'clever people'. But the truth is, clever people are as fiercely independent as they are clever - they don't want to be led. So how do you corral these players in your organization and inspire them to achieve their highest potential? In "Clever", Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones offer potent insights drawn from their extensive research. Leading clever people can be enormously challenging, yet doing so effectively is the key to your organization's sustained success. Lively and ... more

Filthy Lucre : Economics For Those Who Hate Capitalism order quantity

NZ$ 37.00 each
Paperback
Author: Joseph Heath
Published by: Scribe Publications
In Stock: 1
A dozen times every day, individuals and organisations use economic claims to support social and political points of view. Those on the left tend to distrust economists, seeing them as friends of the right. There is something to this skepticism, since professional economists are almost all keen supporters of the free market. Yet while factions on the right naturally embrace economists, they also tend to overestimate the effect of their support on free-market policies. The result is widespread confusion. In fact, virtually all commonly held beliefs about economics - whether espoused by political activists, politicians, journalists or taxpayers - are just plain wrong.
Joseph Heath, co-author of the international bestseller The Rebel Sell, wants to improve our economic literacy and empower us with new ideas.
In Filthy Lucre, he draws on everyday examples to skewer the six favourite economic fallacies of the right, ... more

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

Author: Joseph Stiglitz
Published by: Penguin Books Ltd

The current global financial crisis carries a 'made-in-America' label. In this forthright and incisive book, Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz explains how America exported bad economics, bad policies, and bad behaviour to the rest of the world, only to cobble together a haphazard and ineffective response when the markets finally seized up. Drawing on his academic expertise, his years spent shaping policy in the Clinton administration and at the World Bank, and his more recent role as head of a UN commission charged with reforming the global financial system, Stiglitz outlines a way forward building on ideas that he has championed his entire career: restoring the balance between markets and government, addressing the inequalities of the global financial system, and demanding more good ideas (and less ideology) from economists. "Freefall" is an instant classic, combining an enthralling whodunit account of the current crisis with a bracing ... more
