  • What Would the Great Economists Do?: How Twelve Brilliant Minds Would Solve Today’s Biggest Problems

    By Linda Yueh

    A timely exploration of the life and work of world-changing thinkers―from Adam Smith to John Maynard Keynes―and how their ideas would solve the great economic problems we face today.

    Since the days of Adam Smith, economists have grappled with a series of familiar problems – but often their ideas are hard to digest, even before we try to apply them to today’s issues. Linda Yueh is renowned for her combination of erudition, as an accomplished economist herself, and accessibility, as a leading writer and broadcaster in this field. In What Would the Great Economists Do? she explains the key thoughts of history’s greatest economists, how our lives have been influenced by their ideas and how they could help us with the policy challenges that we face today.

  • Adults in the Room: My Battle with the European and American Deep Establishment

    By Yanis Varoufakis

    What happens when you take on the establishment? In Adults in the Room, the renowned economist and former finance minister of Greece Yanis Varoufakis gives the full, blistering account of his momentous clash with the mightiest economic and political forces on earth.

    After being swept into power with the left-wing Syriza party, Varoufakis attempts to renegotiate Greece’s relationship with the EU―and sparks a spectacular battle with global implications. Varoufakis’s new position sends him ricocheting between mass demonstrations in Athens, closed-door negotiations in drab EU and IMF offices, and furtive meetings with power brokers in Washington, D.C. He consults and quarrels with Barack Obama, Emmanuel Macron, Christine Lagarde, the economists Larry Summers and Jeffrey Sachs, and others, as he struggles to resolve Greece’s debt crisis without resorting to punishing austerity measures. But despite the mass support of the Greek people and the simple logic of Varoufakis’s arguments, he succeeds only in provoking the fury of Europe’s elite.

In this quest for Truth, spanning many centuries and diverse civilizations, organized religion has shaped human life and determined to a large extent, the course of history.

  • In the Meantime: Finding Yourself and the Love You Want

    By Iyanla Vanzant

  • The Breakdown By B.A Paris [Behind Closed Doors]

    By B.A Paris

    If you can’t trust yourself, who can you trust?

    Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods. It was on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, and a woman was sitting inside—the woman who was killed. She’s been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It’s a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm, and she probably would have been hurt herself if she’d stopped. Not only that, her husband would be furious if he knew she’d broken her promise not to take that shortcut home.

    But since then, she’s been forgetting every little thing. Where she left the car; if she took her pills; even the alarm code.

    The only thing she can’t forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt.

    And the silent calls she’s receiving, or the feeling that someone’s watching her…

  • Tap Dancing to Work: Warren Buffett on Practically Everything, 1966-2013

    Tap Dancing to Work compiles six decades of writing on legendary investor Warren Buffett, from Carol Loomis, the reporter who knows him best.

    Warren Buffett built Berkshire Hathaway into something remarkable – and Fortune had a front-row seat

    When Fortune writer Carole Loomis first mentioned a little-known Omaha hedge fund manager in a 1966 article, she didn’t dream that Warren Buffett would become the world’s greatest investor. Nor did she imagine that she and Buffett would be close friends.

    As Buffett’s fortune and reputation grew, Loomis used her unique insight into his thinking to chronicle his work, writing scores of stories that tracked his many accomplishments – and his occasional mistakes.

    Now Loomis has collected and updated the best Buffett articles from Fortune, including cover stories and pieces by Buffett himself. Readers will gain fresh insights into Buffett’s investment strategies and his thinking on management, philanthropy, public policy, and even parenting.

  • Adapt: How Humans Are Tapping into Nature’s Secrets to Design and Build a Better Future Hardcover

    Amina Khan believes that nature does it best In Adapt, she presents fascinating examples of how nature effortlessly solves the problems that humans attempt to solve with decades worth of the latest and greatest technologies, time, and money. Humans are animals too, and animals are incredibly good at doing more with less. If a fly’s eye can see without hundreds of fancy lenses, and termite mounds can stay cool in the desert without air conditioning, it stands to reason that nature can teach us a thing or two about sustainable technology and innovation. In Khan’s accessible voice, these complex concepts are made simple. There is so much we humans can learn from nature’s billions of years of productive and efficient evolutionary experience. This field is growing rapidly and everyone from architects to biologists to nano-technicians to engineers are paying attention. Results from the simplest tasks, creating velcro to mimic the sticking power of a burr, to the more complex like maximising wind power by arranging farms to imitate schools of fish can make a difference and inspire future technological breakthroughs. Adapt shares the weird and wonderful ways that nature has been working smarter and not harder, and how we can too to make billion dollar cross-industrial advances in the very near future.
