Download or read book Winners Take All written by Anand Giridharadas and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The groundbreaking investigation of how the global elite's efforts to "change the world" preserve the status quo and obscure their role in causing the problems they later seek to solve. An essential read for understanding some of the egregious abuses of power that dominate today’s news. "Impassioned.... Entertaining reading.” —The Washington Post Anand Giridharadas takes us into the inner sanctums of a new gilded age, where the rich and powerful fight for equality and justice any way they can—except ways that threaten the social order and their position atop it. They rebrand themselves as saviors of the poor; they lavishly reward “thought leaders” who redefine “change” in ways that preserve the status quo; and they constantly seek to do more good, but never less harm. Giridharadas asks hard questions: Why, for example, should our gravest problems be solved by the unelected upper crust instead of the public institutions it erodes by lobbying and dodging taxes? His groundbreaking investigation has already forced a great, sorely needed reckoning among the world’s wealthiest and those they hover above, and it points toward an answer: Rather than rely on scraps from the winners, we must take on the grueling democratic work of building more robust, egalitarian institutions and truly changing the world—a call to action for elites and everyday citizens alike.

Download or read book The Entrepreneur Mind written by Sunny Akins and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS BOOK IS A SUMMARY OF THE ORIGINAL WORK BY KEVIN JOHNSON There is no one born with Entrepreneurship or the ability to be an Entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is not inbred, it is learned. The logic that says it can't be taught has been proven inaccurate and the fact that recently, more college students enrol in one type of entrepreneurship class or the other proves this to be true. Entrepreneurship has taken a place of respect in the academic world and it has come to stay. In truth, the secret to being a good Entrepreneur is the same as that of many other fields; constant study and applied knowledge. In the event that you don't have the time or the opportunity to study entrepreneurship in the university, you can acquire the required knowledge by reading expansively and stocking your library with lots of good books on the discipline. After reading all those books, you'll need a practical point of view to the ideas you find in them; this book provides that practical perspective. In this book, you will find 100 essential lessons that will provide a fresh angle on things, an angle you'll never find in entrepreneurship books, magazines or online articles. The lessons vary from how to think outside the box to why you should try different methods of doing things. It even gives guidelines on the traits that you should look for when choosing a life partner. The purpose for which this book was written is to assist budding entrepreneurs (especially those who prefer reading short books) in avoiding certain pitfalls. The most dangerous time in any business venture is at the start, with so many lessons yet to be learned, there is a high chance of mistakes being made and at that stage, and any mistake may prove fatal. Mistakes from spending too many resources on certain things or choosing the wrong partner to work with might spell the end of the business enterprise. There is a lesson in this book for budding entrepreneurs, intermediates and even business veterans. In a nutshell, if you want to think and act like an Entrepreneur; this is the book for you.

Download or read book Entertaining Entrepreneurs written by Daniel Horowitz and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Recession threatened the well-being of tens of millions of Americans, dramatically weakened the working class, hollowed out the middle class, and strengthened the position of the very wealthy. Against this backdrop, the hit reality show Shark Tank premiered in 2009. Featuring ambitious entrepreneurs chasing support from celebrity investors, the show offered a version of the American Dream that still seemed possible to many, where a bright idea and a well-honed pitch could lift a bootstrap business to new heights of success. More than a decade later, Shark Tank still airs regularly on multiple networks, and its formula has sparked imitators everywhere, from elite universities to elementary school classrooms. In Entertaining Entrepreneurs, Daniel Horowitz shows how Shark Tank's version of entrepreneurship disguises and distorts the opportunities and traps of capitalism. Digging into today's cult of the entrepreneur, Horowitz charts its rise from the rubble of economic crisis and its spread as a mainstay of American culture, and he explores its flawed view of what it really takes to succeed in business. Horowitz offers more than a look at one television phenomenon. He is the perfect guide to the portrayal of entrepreneurship in business school courses, pitch competitions, popular how-to books, and scholarly works, as well as the views of real-world venture capitalists.
