Book excerpt: The Broadway Books Library of Larceny Luc Sante, General Editor For more than fifty years, Willie Sutton devoted his boundless energy and undoubted genius exclusively to two activities at which he became better than any man in history: breaking in and breaking out. The targets in the first instance were banks and in the second, prisons. Unarguably America’s most famous bank robber, Willie never injured a soul, but took on almost a hundred banks and departed three of America’s most escape-proof penitentiaries. This is the stuff of myth—rascally and cautionary by turns—yet true in every searing, diverting, and brilliantly recalled detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Money is nothing more than what is commonly exchanged for goods or services, so why has understanding it become so complicated? In Money, renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith cuts through the confusions surrounding the subject to present a compelling and accessible account of a topic that affects us all. He tells the fascinating story of money, the key factors that shaped its development, and the lessons that can be learned from its history. He describes the creation and evolution of monetary systems and explains how finance, credit, and banks work in the global economy. Galbraith also shows that, when it comes to money, nothing is truly new—least of all inflation and fraud.
Download or read book Put Your Mouth Where the Money Is written by Parker Stoner and published by Infusionmedia. This book was released on 2008 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advertising and other forms of marketing communications are not serving the needs of marketers or their audiences as well as they should. Faced with increasing pressure for accountability, marketers are often disappointed in the result of their communications investment. The problem is that marketers continue to focus most of their resources on the types of communications that have little credibility with and impact on audiences. Parker Stoner of marketing communications agency Swanson Russell says there is a Hierarchy of Marketing Communications Effectiveness in which the categories of communications near the top have much greater influence on purchase decisions compared to the often overused categories lower in the hierarchy. Near the top of the hierarchy are peoples' actual and virtual experiences with brands, along with recommendations from sources they trust. On the other hand, basic brand awareness and image advertising, brand sponsorships, and other types of commonly used communications are found near the bottom of the hierarchy. In Put Your Mouth Where the Money Is, Stoner argues that marketers need to allocate more of their communications (mouths) to those categories that most influence audience purchases (money). Put Your Mouth Where the Money Is begins by helping marketers make a CONNECTION with their audiences by explaining why and where to refocus marketing communications resources. It follows with a recommended PROCESS to implement and measure communications among their customers and prospects. It then concludes with IDEAS for marketers to develop marketing communications that enhance the value of their products for customers. When followed, the principles help marketers better engage and influence their audiences, resulting in greater return on marketing communications resources.

Download or read book The Psychology of Money written by Morgan Housel and published by Harriman House Limited. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

Download or read book Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money written by Woody Tasch and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could there ever be an alternative stock exchange dedicated to slow, small, and local? Could a million American families get their food from CSAs? What if you had to invest 50 percent of your assets within 50 miles of where you live?Such questions-at the heart of slow money-represent the first steps on our path to a new economy. Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money presents an essential new strategy for investing in local food systems and introduces a group of fiduciary activists who are exploring what should come after industrial finance and industrial agriculture. Theirs is a vision for investing that puts soil fertility into return-on-investment calculations and serves people and place as much at it serves industry sectors and markets. Leading the charge is Woody Tasch-whose decades of work as a venture capitalist, foundation treasurer, and entrepreneur now shed new light on a truer, more beautiful, more prudent kind of fiduciary responsibility. He offers an alternative vision to the dusty old industrial concepts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries when dollars, and the businesses they financed, lost their connection to place; slow money, on the other hand, is firmly rooted in the new economic, social, and environmental realities of the 21st century. Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money is a call to action for designing capital markets built around not extraction and consumption but preservation and restoration. Is it a movement or is it an investment strategy? Yes.

Download or read book Give People Money written by Annie Lowrey and published by Crown. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliantly reported, global look at universal basic income—a stipend given to every citizen—and why it might be the answer for our age of rising inequality, persistent poverty, and dazzling technology. Imagine if every month the government deposited $1,000 into your checking account, with no strings attached and nothing expected in return. It sounds crazy. But it has become one of the most influential and discussed policy ideas of our time. The founder of Facebook, President Obama’s chief economist, Canada and Finland’s governments, the conservative and labor movements’ leading intellectual lights—all are seriously debating versions of a UBI. In this sparkling and provocative book, economics writer Annie Lowrey looks at the global UBI movement. She travels to Kenya to see how a UBI is lifting the poorest people on earth out of destitution, India to see how inefficient government programs are failing the poor, South Korea to interrogate UBI’s intellectual pedigree, and Silicon Valley to meet the tech titans financing UBI pilots in expectation of a world with advanced artificial intelligence and little need for human labor. Lowrey also examines the challenges the movement faces: contradictory aims, uncomfortable costs, and most powerfully, the entrenched belief that no one should get something for nothing. The UBI movement calls into question our deepest intuitions about what we owe each other. Yet as Lowrey persuasively shows, a UBI—giving people money—is not just a solution to our problems, but a better foundation for our society in this age of marvels.
