Download or read book Singapore written by Carl A. Trocki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines Singapore’s culture of control, exploring the city-state’s colonial heritage as well as the forces that have helped to mould its current social landscape. Taking a comparative approach, Trocki demonstrates the links between Singapore’s colonial past and independent present, focusing on the development of indigenous social and political movements. In particular, the book examines the efforts of Lee Yew Kuan, leader of the People’s Action Party from 1959 until 1990, to produce major economic and social transformation. Trocki discusses how Singapore became a workers paradise, but what the city gained in material advancement it paid for in intellectual and cultural sterility. Based on the latest research, Singapore addresses the question of control in one of the most prosperous and dynamic economies in the world, providing a compelling history of post-colonial Singapore.

Download or read book Singapore written by Michael D. Barr and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Singapore gained independence in 1965, a city-state in a world of nation-states. Yet its long and complex history reaches much farther back. Blending modernity and tradition, ideologies and ethnicities, a peculiar set of factors make Singapore what it is today. In this thematic study of the island nation, Michael D. Barr proposes a new approach to understand this development. From the pre-colonial period through to the modern day, he traces the idea, the politics and the geography of Singapore over five centuries of rich history. In doing so he rejects the official narrative of the so-called 'Singapore Story'. Drawing on in-depth archival work and oral histories, Singapore: A Modern History is a work both for students of the country's history and politics, but also for any reader seeking to engage with this enigmatic and vastly successful nation.
Download or read book Trading Psychology Collection written by LR Thomas and published by LR Thomas. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If You Want to Be Successful in Trading You Need to Buy This Book! In these four best-selling trading psychology books, you will find practical, immediately usable strategies to improve the way you trade. Control Your Inner Trader Self-control is probably the most important skill you need to acquire as a trader. Unfortunately, most trading psychology books can be very vague and short on specific strategies to take control of your mental state while trading. Trading psychology shares equal importance with money management and the trading system and yet most traders remain unaware of the importance of taking into account their trading psychology when designing a trading system. What traders need is an unambiguous trader psychology system that can easily slot into whatever system they are trading and enable them to trade their system according to their trading plan. Control Your Inner Trader draws on the experience of an eight-year trading veteran who is also a qualified therapist. Behavioral and therapeutic techniques are included in the book that is easy for anyone to follow. Overcome Your Fear in Trading The most prevalent emotion facing traders is fear.. Fear causes traders to exit trades too early ruining their equity curve. Fear causes traders to self-sabotage so they can fulfill their self-fulfilling prophecy of trading failure. Fear causes traders to find reasons to avoid taking trades that would have been winners. Fear causes traders to exit trades before they have a chance to get the move underway and then have the misery of seeing a profitable trade run away from them. There are many more destructive aspects to fear in trading and what is vital for the trader in order for them to succeed is to have a way of thinking about trading that eliminates fear from the trading process. How to Stop Over-Trading is the latest book in the trading psychology series of books by L.R. Thomas. This book zeroes in on the specific reasons traders take trades outside their trading plan and offers simple solutions to stop over-trading forever. The truth is that if a trader consistently trades outside their strategy, even on a demo platform, they are very unlikely to succeed in trading. If you are skewing your trading results by taking trades that you shouldn't, then this book could change your trading, for the better, forever. Patience Lack of patience also causes negative behaviors related to trading, such as not bothering to back-test the system, not keeping careful records, and not doing an end-of-day or end-of-week analysis of trading results to find areas of improvement. The feeling of 'things not moving fast enough' also causes traders to add too many trading systems to an already overloaded brain and not be able to focus properly on any one strategy to make it profitable The profitability of the trading system is profoundly impacted by these types of behaviors and turns what is a money-making system in theory, into a loss-making system in the real life.
