This concept of "being your own boss" is undoubtedly an alluring one. Nonetheless, not everyone can be a boss - not one decent or effective, at least. If you are actually an employee of someone (not a boss), it is perfectly natural to fantasize about owning a business of your own on those days when you are fed up with your current boss or work. The rags-to-rich stories you hear about entrepreneurs who have turned their visions into millions or even billions of dollars, make your fantasy even more attractive.

It will be a few years before the majority of manufacturers are up to world standards. In the meantime, quality, contract laws, schedules and logistics must be closely monitored. As a result, the things Westerners must do to be successful are far different from dealing with American or European manufacturers.

Many blame today's economic inequality, stagnation, and political instability on the free market. The solution is to rein in the market, right? Radical Markets turns this thinking - and pretty much all conventional thinking about markets, both for and against - on its head. The book reveals bold new ways to organize markets for the good of everyone.

When Hu Jintao, China's then vice president, came to visit the New York Stock Exchange and Ground Zero in 2002, he asked Hank Paulson to be his guide.

In the last few years, China's aid program has leapt out of the shadows. But China's tradition of secrecy about its aid fueled rumors and speculation, making it difficult to gauge the risks and opportunities provided by China's growing embrace. This well-timed book, by one of the world's leading experts, provides the first comprehensive account of China's aid and economic cooperation overseas. Deborah Brautigam tackles the myths and realities, explaining what the Chinese are doing, how they do it, how much aid they give, and how it all fits into their "going global" strategy.

As venture capitalist Alexandre Lazarow shows in this insightful and instructive book, this Silicon Valley "gospel" is due for a refresh - and it comes from what he calls the "frontier", the growing constellation of startup ecosystems, outside of the Valley and other major economic centers, that now stretches across the globe. The frontier is a truly different world where startups often must cope with political or economic instability and lack of infrastructure, and where there might be little or no access to angel investors, venture capitalists, or experienced employee pools.

When Jean Tirole won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Economics, he suddenly found himself being stopped in the street by complete strangers and asked to comment on issues of the day, no matter how distant from his own areas of research. His transformation from academic economist to public intellectual prompted him to reflect further on the role economists and their discipline play in society. The result is Economics for the Common Good, a passionate manifesto for a world in which economics, far from being a "dismal science," is a positive force for the common good.

George Magnus draws on his intimate knowledge of this dynamic nation to uncover the origins of its ascent and show why the economic traps it faces at home and the political challenges it faces abroad pose a serious threat to its continued rise.

Needs Updating & Better Portuguese Pronunciations
A relevant guide for anyone travelling back in time to the Brazil of before the 2016 Olympics and 2014 Word Cup. Not of much use for others; the information is generalist common sense, or no longer the case.
Oddly, the text contains errors in English typical of a native speaker of Portuguese; yet the —rather courageous in a way— narrator mutilates some pronunciations in a manner that will make anyone familiar with Portuguese cringe —or laugh, like when he pronounced the city of Curitiba as 'Cu de Tiba' (Tiba's arseho...). The terrible Portuguese pronunciations lend little credence to the author's valid point that learning the local language will increase one's likelihood of success in Brazil.
The book did have some good tips on social interactions in meetings, etc, for people really unfamiliar with the Brazilian cultures —but pretty basic stuff, really.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
