Download or read book Building the Selfless Economy written by James Michael Matthew and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have lost confidence in their leaders and institutions. The entire world is watching and wondering what has happened to the leader of the free world. Younger generations no longer believe in the greatness of our country ... and who can blame them? It is time to abandon historical leadership strategies that rely on accumulating self-serving power. It is time to place helping others be successful over grabbing self-serving power. One way to do this is that whenever someone is arrested for any crime, they should not be locked up. Instead, they should be sent to planet infrastructure sites and trained to heal the planet. We can also unlock the value of fallow government-owned real estate, close the ship-building gap with China, find truth and spirituality, and more. This book was written to show political, business, financial, academic, health, media, sports, entertainment, and climate elites a better path forward – one that turns angst to excitement and confidence. This new path will help hundreds of millions if not billions of people live a better life, leading to a renewed sense of national pride. Moreover, those who follow this new path will enjoy more success, attain more fulfillment, and receive more respect from others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Two $20 Trillion Opportunities is the third and final part of a series dedicated to offering innovative solutions to ease problems tied to global warming, climate change, rising ocean coastlines, biodiversity loss, desertification, ocean pollution, and the depletion of fresh water. The first book in the series—Building the Climate Change Bridge—explored how we can transition from relying on fossil fuels to green energy. More importantly, it proposed a bridge for getting from here to there. The second book—Defeating the New Axis Powers—focused on the geopolitical issues related to climate change. This final book in the series lays out a plan to create what author James Michael Matthew calls “the selfless economy.” He reveals how to pay for both building a climate bridge and creating a selfless economy. As our collective concern about the future of our planet grows, there has never been a more critical time to explore how humanity can pursue responsible and practical strategies to move forward and ensure our future.
Download or read book Selflessness in Business written by Dominika Ochnik and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with a controversial and seemingly paradoxical relationship between selflessness and business. It depicts the primary and lasting controversy between the selfish (egoistic, competitive) and selfless (pro-social, co-operative) behavior in view of social, organizational and individual benefits. Therefore, it takes a step towards finding a solution to some of the challenges of the twenty-first century, particularly sustainable growth. The miscellaneous and transatlantic background of the Authors origins (USA, Colombia, Germany, Poland, UK, Spain) and their various perspectives (psychological, economic or philosophical) guarantee multi-voiced argumentation for strong relationships between selflessness and business. Selflessness is understood from a social perspective as related to self-transcendence and connectedness to others. This perspective can be helpful in providing a deeper understanding of pro-social behavior in organizations and its implications for productivity and effectiveness. The manifestations of this approach can be found in acts such as organizational altruism, loyalty, quantum leadership, or pro-social vocational interests. One can make an in-depth analysis of selflessness’s manifestations on a social, organizational and individual level. The ensuing question is how to achieve self-regulation in order to maintain sustainable growth, and selflessness turns out to be the answer. This book offers strong evidence for high organizational and individual benefits stemming from selfless behavior. Therefore, it is not selfish behavior that enables and encourages productivity and effectiveness but rather selfless behavior. The book also tackles gender issues in business, especially regarding the social female role as being traditionally related to selflessness. The authors aim to reveal possible solutions to present and future challenges and enhance the meaning of positive outcomes of selfless behavior in business and work environments, which seems to be crucial and indispensable for future growth. The book will be useful not only for academic and business specialists but also for everyone interested in a broader perspective at contemporary challenges of business and organizational psychology.
Download or read book The Moral Economy written by Samuel Bowles and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-28 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should the idea of economic man—the amoral and self-interested Homo economicus—determine how we expect people to respond to monetary rewards, punishments, and other incentives? Samuel Bowles answers with a resounding “no.” Policies that follow from this paradigm, he shows, may “crowd out” ethical and generous motives and thus backfire. But incentives per se are not really the culprit. Bowles shows that crowding out occurs when the message conveyed by fines and rewards is that self-interest is expected, that the employer thinks the workforce is lazy, or that the citizen cannot otherwise be trusted to contribute to the public good. Using historical and recent case studies as well as behavioral experiments, Bowles shows how well-designed incentives can crowd in the civic motives on which good governance depends.
Download or read book The Leadership Broadcasting Company written by James Michael Matthew and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-04 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to those who continue to lose confidence in their supposed leaders to provide anything resembling responsible leadership. From the abysmal approval ratings of our media and Congress, to crony capitalism, climate anxiety, and China’s looming preemptive strike, confidence in our leaders is at an all-time low. James Michael Matthew, founder and chairman of JM Prophecies Corp., wrote this book to shine a spotlight on a pathway that leads back to responsible leadership. He considers questions such as: How can we return our government to one that is controlled by its citizens? Why is our country divided between elites and a permanent underclass? How can we fight climate change and the new Axis powers? The author observes that while our Constitution was founded on the principle that a free and curious press would act as the country’s watchdog, we have somehow gone astray. Today, the media do not serve everyday Americans. Join the author as he explores how to launch a media company to plan, debate, and help solve the nation’s most significant problems.
Download or read book THE SUB DIMENSIONAL ECONOMY written by YAOZU SONG and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to apply the basic principles of economics and political science to construct a sub-dimensional economic model in online games so that a healthy and sustainable new human economy can be developed in online games. Ultimately, it will provide countless new jobs for humanity and solve the problem of unemployment caused by the imminent explosion of artificial intelligence technology. No company in human society has yet developed an online game with the attributes of a 'sub-dimensional economy', and most humans only consider online games to be entertainment. However, the potential of a space that can be freely constructed in accordance with human ideas and in which humans can interact freely should be more than entertainment. If someone were to create an online game with a sub-dimensional economy based on the construction of this book, they would undoubtedly become the richest man in the world. If someone were to refine or expand on the thesis in this book, a Nobel Prize would beckon.

Download or read book 13 Bankers written by Simon Johnson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of its key role in creating the ruinous financial crisis of 2008, the American banking industry has grown bigger, more profitable, and more resistant to regulation than ever. Anchored by six megabanks whose assets amount to more than 60 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, this oligarchy proved it could first hold the global economy hostage and then use its political muscle to fight off meaningful reform. 13 Bankers brilliantly charts the rise to power of the financial sector and forcefully argues that we must break up the big banks if we want to avoid future financial catastrophes. Updated, with additional analysis of the government’s recent attempt to reform the banking industry, this is a timely and expert account of our troubled political economy.
Download or read book Building the Climate Change Bridge written by James Michael Matthew and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-09 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover new solutions for solving the critical problems brought by global warming, climate change, rising ocean coastlines, biodiversity loss, desertification, ocean pollution, and the depletion of fresh water with Building the Climate Change Bridge. James Michael Matthew observes that the primary problem with climate change leadership is that virtually no one has determined how to transition from a centuries-old society based on fossil fuels to a green-energy based society. This book—the first in a three-volume series—aims to serve as a bridge to get to where we must go. Get answers to questions such as: Why is the battle against global warming all about water—and not about carbon emissions? Why is the concept of net-zero carbon flawed? How can we pay for the climate change bridge? Why is energy diversification so important? How has Russia’s invasion of Ukraine changed everything? Solving climate change will be all about making decisions under great uncertainty, among choices that often will seem unpalatable. Such is the case when confronting the challenges related to global warming.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nobel Peace Prize winner and bestselling author shows how entrepreneurial spirit and business smarts can be harnessed to create sustainable businesses that can solve the world's biggest problems. Muhammad Yunus, the practical visionary who pioneered microcredit and, with his Grameen Bank, won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, has developed a new dimension for capitalism which he calls "social business." The social business model has been adopted by corporations, entrepreneurs, and social activists across the globe. Its goal is to create self-supporting, viable commercial enterprises that generate economic growth as they produce goods and services to fulfill human needs. In Building Social Business, Yunus shows how social business can be put into practice and explains why it holds the potential to redeem the failed promise of free-market enterprise.

Download or read book Pope Pius XII on the Economic Order written by Rupert J. Ederer and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2011-06-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pope Pius XII on the Economic Order, economist Rupert J. Ederer explores the views of Eugenio Pacelli, who served as pope during the tumultuous period of 1939 to 1958. Prodigious in his output, Pius XII produced 40 encyclicals, 19 highly regarded Christmas messages, and series of addresses to groups and organizations, laying the groundwork for the economic views of his successors. According to Ederer, it "is safe to say that no Roman pontiff has addressed the problems confronting the social order as frequently and as widely outside the formal structure of encyclicals as Pius XII. This applies in a special way to his masterful and prophetic Christmas Messages." Through the study of Pius XII's encyclicals and Christmas messages, Ederer examines this important pontiff's views on economics and the social order, the world of work, agriculture and farmers, food and population, the middle class, and the world of money and finance. Students and scholars interested in the history of Pius XII's papacy will find in Ederer's analysis an insightful study of Catholic economic thought during an era when nations representing the forces of capitalism, fascism, and Communism were joined in a fierce battle for dominance.

Book excerpt: Visions of Development presents first-hand stories of groups and movements from many different religious and spiritual traditions that are working with impoverished communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It provides unique insights into how people's beliefs and spirituality can help to inform not only what they perceive 'development' to be but also how they go about achieving it. Through real-life examples of courageous and innovative work, the stories challenge much of the theory and practice of mainstream development agencies while also showing how religious inspiration can be a force for radical and positive change.
Download or read book Ethical Principles and Economic Transformation A Buddhist Approach written by Laszlo Zsolnai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhism points out that emphasizing individuality and promoting the greatest fulfillment of the desires of the individual conjointly lead to destruction. The book promotes the basic value-choices of Buddhism, namely happiness, peace and permanence. Happiness research convincingly shows that not material wealth but the richness of personal relationships determines happiness. Not things, but people make people happy. Western economics tries to provide people with happiness by supplying enormous quantities of things and today’s dominating business models are based on and cultivates narrow self-centeredness.But what people need are caring relationships and generosity. Buddhist economics makes these values accessible by direct provision. Peace can be achieved in nonviolent ways. Wanting less can substantially contribute to this endeavor and make it happen more easily. Permanence, or ecological sustainability, requires a drastic cutback in the present level of consumption and production globally. This reduction should not be an inconvenient exercise of self-sacrifice. In the noble ethos of reducing suffering it can be a positive development path for humanity.
