Download or read book The Billionaire Who Wasn t written by Conor O'Clery and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astonishing life of the modest New Jersey businessman who anonymously gave away 10 billion dollars and inspired the "giving while living" movement. In this bestselling book, Conor O'Clery reveals the inspiring life story of Chuck Feeney, known as the "James Bond of philanthropy." Feeney was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to a blue-collar Irish-American family during the Depression. After service in the Korean War, he made a fortune as founder of Duty Free Shoppers, the world's largest duty-free retail chain. By 1988, he was hailed by Forbes Magazine as the twenty-fourth richest American alive. But secretly Feeney had already transferred all his wealth to his foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies. Only in 1997 when he sold his duty free interests, was he "outed" as one of the greatest and most mysterious American philanthropists in modern times, who had anonymously funded hospitals and universities from San Francisco to Limerick to New York to Brisbane. His example convinced Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to give away their fortunes during their lifetime, known as the giving pledge.

Download or read book No Billionaire Left Behind written by Angelique Haugerud and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing economic inequality, corporate influence in politics, an eroding middle class. Many Americans leave it to politicians and the media to debate these topics in the public sphere. Yet other seemingly ordinary Americans have decided to enter the conversation of wealth in America by donning ball gowns, tiaras, tuxedos, and top hats and taking on the imagined roles of wealthy, powerful, and completely fictional characters. Why? In No Billionaire Left Behind, Angelique Haugerud, who embedded herself within the "Billionaires" and was granted the name "Ivana Itall," explores the inner workings of these faux billionaires and mines the depths of democracy's relationship to political humor, satire, and irony. No Billionaire Left Behind is a compelling investigation into how satirical activists tackle two of the most contentious topics in contemporary American political culture: the increasingly profound division of wealth in America, and the role of big money in electoral politics. Anthropologist and author Angelique Haugerud deftly charts the evolution of a group named the Billionaires—a prominent network of satirists and activists who make a mockery of wealth in America—along with other satirical groups and figures to puzzle out their impact on politics and public opinion. In the spirit of popular programs like The Colbert Report and The Daily Show, the Billionaires demonstrate a sophisticated knowledge of economics and public affairs through the lens of satire and humor. Through participant observation, interviews, and archival research, Haugerud provides the first ethnographic study of the power and limitations of this evolving form of political organizing in this witty exploration of one group's efforts to raise hope and inspire action in America's current political climate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "How To Be A Billionaire" erfahren Sie, wie sich manche Leute in einem ganz bestimmten Bereich menschlichen Strebens hervorgetan haben, nämlich im Streben nach Geld. Hier geht es nicht um das halbe Prozent der amerikanerikanischen Bevölkerung, das über einen Kapitalwert von einer Million Dollar verfügt. Hier geht es um Amerikaner, die 1.000 bis 40.000 Millionen Dollar ihr eigen nennen. In diesem Buch wird zum ersten Mal diese massive Anhäufung von privatem Vermögen ausführlich untersucht. Hierbei stützt sich Fridson verstärkt auf Biographien und journalistische Reportagen, die die Findigkeit, den Elan und die Rücksichtslosigkeit dokumentieren, auf die sich diese Vermögen gründen. Er enthüllt die wichtigsten Taktiken, Prinzipien und Strategien, die die Reichen superreich gemacht haben, wie z. B: "Verstoße gegen die Regeln", "Nachahmung ist besser als Innovation", "Beherrsche den Markt", "Investiere in politischen Einfluß" und "Übertrumpfe die Konkurrenz". Erläutert wird das gesamte Repertoire, angefangen bei Verhandlungstechniken über Tipps für den besten Deal bis hin zur Wahl der Branche und zum Börsengang des Unternehmens. Eine unverzichtbare Lektüre für jeden, der (erfolg)reicher werden will. (12/99)
