Title: A Macat Analysis of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable Author: Eric Lybeck Narrator: Macat.com Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 07-20-16 Publisher: Macat International Limited. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: Europeans once thought all swans were white. "White" was part of how they defined "swan." Then black swans were discovered, and the definition changed forever. In his 2007 book The Black Swan, Nassim Nicholas Taleb says the Black Swans of his title can appear at any time, in the form of financial crises, wars, and other unexpected events that have profound, irreversible consequences. Taleb draws on philosophy, mathematics, economics, and other disciplines to explain in plain English why we seldom prepare for these events adequately. The way our brains process knowledge, combined with the conventions of statistical modeling, lull us into believing the future will resemble the past. The Black Swan was published shortly before the financial crisis of 2008, and that particular Black Swan event helped Taleb's ideas reach a broad, popular audience. The book, which has been translated into more than 30 languages, also sparked debates in several academic disciplines that continue to this day.

Title: Red Ink Subtitle: Inside the High-Stakes Politics of the Federal Budget Author: David Wessel Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 09-17-12 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: In a sweeping narrative about the people and the politics behind the budget, Pulitzer Prizewinning reporter David Wessel looks at the 2011 fiscal year (which ended September 30) to see where all the money was actually spent, and why the budget process has grown wildly out of control. Through the eyes of key people-Jacob Lew, White House director of the Office of Management and Budget; Douglas Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office; Blackstone founder and former Commerce Secretary Pete Peterson; and more-Wessel gives listeners an inside look at the making of our unsustainable budget.

Drezner Narrador: Charles Constant Formato: Unabridged Duración: 7 hrs and 31 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 09-10-14 Editor: Audible Studios Calificaciones: 4 de 5 de 1 votos Categorías: Nonfiction, Economics Resumen del editor: International institutions, from the International Monetary Fund to the International Olympic Committee, are perceived as bastions of sclerotic mediocrity at best and outright corruption at worst, and this perception is generally not far off the mark. In the wake of the 2008 financial crash, Daniel W. Drezner, like so many others, looked at the smoking ruins of the global economy and wondered why global economic governance structure had failed so spectacularly, and what could be done to reform them in the future. But then a funny thing happened. As he surveyed their actions in the wake of the crash, he realized that the evidence pointed to the exact opposite conclusion: global economic governance had succeeded. In The System Worked , Drezner, a renowned political scientist and international relations expert, contends that despite the massive scale and reverberations of this latest crisis (larger, arguably, than those that precipitated the Great Depression), the global economy has bounced back remarkably well. Examining the major resuscitation efforts by the G-20, IMF, WTO, and other institutions, he shows that, thanks to the efforts of central bankers and other policymakers, the international response was sufficiently coordinated to prevent the crisis from becoming a full-fledged depression. Yet the narrative about the failure of multilateral economic institutions persists, both because the Great Recession affected powerful nations whose governments managed their own economies poorly, and because the most influential policy analysts who write the books and articles on the crisis hail from those nations. The System Worked is a vital contribution to our understanding of an area where the stakes could not be higher.

Title: Michael Lewis' The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine Summary Author: Ant Hive Media Narrator: Doron Alon Format: Unabridged Length: 25 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-16 Publisher: Ant Hive Media Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: This is a summary of Michael Lewis' The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine The real story of the crash began in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower - and middle - class Americans who can't pay their debts. The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren't talking. Michael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his best-seller Liar's Poker. Out of a handful of unlikely - really unlikely - heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier best-sellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our time. This summary is aimed for those who want to capture the gist of the book but don't have the current time to listen to the whole thing. You get the main summary along with all of the benefits and lessons the actual book has to offer. Ant Hive Media reads every chapter, extracts the understanding and leaves you with a new perspective and time to spare. We do the work so you can understand the book in minutes, not hours.

Subtitle: The Truth behind the Trillion-Dollar Stimulus, the Biggest Economic Recovery Plan in History Author: Michael Grabell Narrator: William Hughes Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 01-31-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: The 2012 presidential campaign will, above all else, be a referendum on the Obama administrations handling of the financial crisis, recalling the period when Obamas audacity of hope met the austerity of reality. Central to this is the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 - the largest economic recovery plan in American history. Senator Mitch McConnell gave a taste of the enormity of the money committed: if you had spent $1 million a day since Jesus was born, it still would not add up to the price tag of the stimulus package. The story of how this almost entirely partisan piece of legislation - Democrats voted for it, Republicans against it - was passed and, more importantly, how the money was spent and to what effect, is known barely at all. Stepping outside the political fray, ProPublicas Michael Grabell offers a perceptive, balanced, and dramatic story of what happened to the taxpayers money, pursuing the big question through behind-the-scenes interviews and on-the-ground reporting in more than a dozen states across the country. MIchael Grabell has been a reporter at ProPublica since 2008, producing stories for USA Today, Salon, NPR, MSNBC, and the CBS Evening News. Before joining ProPublica, he was a reporter at the Dallas Morning News. He has twice been a finalist for the Livingston Award for Young Journalists. He lives in New Jersey. Critic Reviews: A deeply reported, well-written account of a difficult topic to capture, partly because of the complexity and partly because the stimulus package remains a work in progress. (Kirkus Reviews)

El-Erian's The Only Game in Town: Central Banks, Instability, and Avoiding the Next Collapse Author: Summary Shorts Narrator: Doron Alon Format: Unabridged Length: 18 mins Language: English Release date: 09-27-17 Publisher: Summary Media Inc Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: Please note: This is a review and analysis of the book, not the original book. Most would agree that the great recession of 2008 was unprecedented. Although it wasn't quite like the depression of 1929, it was worse in other ways. It took most government politicians and central banks off guard and so they had to scramble to find a solution to the underlying causes. They took the onus completely on themselves to solve the issue. They have effectively become the only game in town when it comes to growing the economy. Mohamed A. El-Erian, in his wonderful book The Only Game in Town: Central Banks, Instability, and Avoiding the Next Collapse, goes into some depth as to how the central banks tried to stave off complete collapse and what we can be done to avoid the next collapse. In this review, we will analyze, discuss, and summarize the key points in The Only Game in Town: Central Banks, Instability, and Avoiding the Next Collapse. Enjoy!

Title: Accounting Instruction Subtitle: Reference #300: Adjusting Entries & Financial Statement Creation Author: Bob Steele CPA Narrator: Bob Steele CPA Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 08-31-17 Publisher: Bob Steele CPA Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: This book covers the adjusting journal process of financial accounting and the creation of financial statements, the creation of financial statements being the end goal of financial accounting, the product that the financial accounting system is designed to produce. Financial statements are the primary tool decision-makers use when making financial decisions. Financial statements are the preferred format for financial data to be compiled. After normal business transactions have been input into the accounting system throughout a period, an adjusting process is often needed before the data is then compiled into financial statements, the adjusting process helping to covert financial data to a more perfect accrual system. The adjusting journal entries are often one of the most difficult areas of the accounting process for learners to understand, and is one of the most important topics needed for fully grasping accrual accounting concepts. A solid understanding of the adjusting process, and the reasons for the adjusting process, provides learners the tools needed to explain the difference between a cash basis and an accrual basis of accounting and the reasons an accrual basis is the preferred format for compiling accounting data. We will start our learning about the adjusting process with a review of topics covered in prior texts, including a description of the overall financial accounting process, and the rules for recording normal transactions. If you do not have an understanding of what financial accounting is, or how to record normal journal entries, it is recommended that you listen to our prior texts first, Accounting Instruction Reference #100 and Accounting Instruction Reference #200. We will then describe what the adjusting process is and how to think about the adjusting process, how the adjusting process fits into the overall financial accounting process, and what makes the adjusting process different.

Title: SuperHubs Subtitle: How the Financial Elite and Their Networks Rule Our World Author: Sandra Navidi, Nouriel Roubini - foreword Narrator: Katherine Fenton Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 08-18-17 Publisher: Nicholas Brealey Publishing Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: An intimate glimpse into the world of the financial elite and their unique network of personal relationships.

Combining an insider's knowledge with the principles of network science, Sandra Navidi offers a startling new perspective on how the financial system really operates. SuperHubs reveals what happens at the exclusive, invitation-only platforms - The World Economic Forum in Davos, the meetings of the International Monetary Fund, think-tank gatherings, power lunches, charity events, and private parties. This is the most vivid portrait to date of the global elite: the bank CEOs, fund managers, billionaire financiers and politicians who, through their interlocking relationships and collective influence, are transforming the future of our financial system and, for better or worse, shaping our world.

Title: Transcending Capitalism Subtitle: Visions of a New Society in Modern American Thought Author: Howard Brick Narrator: Randal Schaffer Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 06-30-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: Transcending Capitalism explains why many influential mid-century American social theorists came to believe it was no longer meaningful to describe modern Western society as "capitalist", but instead preferred alternatives such as "postcapitalist" society, "postindustrial" society, or the "technological" society. Howard Brick locates this postcapitalist vision within a long history of social theory and ideology. He challenges the common view that American thought and culture utterly succumbed in the 1940s to a conservative cold war consensus that put aside the reform ideology and social theory of the early twentieth century. Rather, expectations of the shift to a new social economy persisted and cannot be disregarded as one of the elements contributing to the revival of dissenting thought and practice in the 1960s. Rooted in a politics of social liberalism, this vision held influence for roughly a half century, from its interwar origins until the right turn in American political culture during the 1970s and 1980s. In offering a historically based understanding of American postcapitalist thought, Brick also presents some current possibilities for reinvigorating critical social thought that explores transitional developments beyond capitalism. The book is published by Cornell University Press. Critic Reviews: "Howard Brick's Transcending Capitalism is a bold and penetrating analysis of modern social thought in the 20th-century United States." (Journal of American History) "An impressive scholarly effort. Highly recommended." (Choice) "Transcending Capitalism is a rich and imaginative historical argument, one from which sociologists will learn much about a major intellectual current in the development of their field." (American Journal of Sociology)

Title: Making It Subtitle: Why Manufacturing Still Matters Author: Louis Uchitelle Narrator: Alex Hyde-White Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 05-18-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: From the longtime New York Times economics correspondent, a closely reported argument for the continuing importance of industry for American prosperity. In the 1950s manufacturing generated nearly 30 percent of US income. Over the past 55 years that share has gradually declined to less than 12 percent at the same time that real estate, finance, and Wall Street trading have grown. While manufacturing's share of the US economy shrinks, it expands in countries such as China and Germany that have a strong industrial policy. Meanwhile Americans are only vaguely aware of the many consequences - including a decline in their self-image as inventive, practical, and effective people - of the loss of that industrial base. And yet, with the improbable rise of Donald Trump, the consequences of the hollowing out of America's once-vibrant industrial working class can no longer be ignored. Reporting from places where things were and sometimes still are "Made in the USA" - Albany, New York, Boston, Detroit, Fort Wayne, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C. - longtime New York Times economics correspondent Louis Uchitelle argues that the government has a crucial role to play in making domestic manufacturing possible. Combining brilliant reportage with an incisive economic and political argument, Making It tells the overlooked story of manufacturing's still-vital role in the United States and how it might expand.

Title: History of Money Author: IntroBooks Narrator: Andrea Giordani Format: Unabridged Length: 40 mins Language: English Release date: 05-09-17 Publisher: IntroBooks Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: The history of money tells us of the development of the means through which transactions can be carried out with the help of a medium of exchange. For eons now, man has been exchanging goods for a certain price. This price came either in the form of other goods or money. The interesting journey of money from barter products to bitcoin and electronic money covers different ways in which societies and cultures perceived money. There were a lot of things that were used as a medium of exchange before money made its appearance. These included livestock, vegetables, and grains, which were useful for the people. But then there were other things like cowrie shells and beads that were used for money solely because they were very attractive. Precious metals and stones were also used as a medium of exchange because of their usefulness and attractiveness. In the modern world, money has gained a different aspect. It does not require an exchange of produce or commodities. Instead, it relies on the exchange of currencies. Money is available today in different forms like currency notes, coins, credit cards, and electronic funds. In as early as 350 BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle spoke about the importance of an object for bartering it or selling it. The first official currency is said to be minted in 600 BC in Lydia, which is modern day Western Turkey. But there has been evidence that money may have existed before this in various other cultures and cities. Gradually, the idea of giving monetary value to a relatively insignificant object in order to use it as money became a popular idea. This gave rise to bank notes, which are otherwise just a simple piece of paper with no value.

Come si definisce e quali sono le caratteristiche specifiche di una start-up? È una parola che ultimamente sentiamo molto in tv o che leggiamo spesso sui giornali anche se nella maggior parte dei casi non è utilizzata con una grande cognizione di causa. Ci raccontano tutti i giorni storie di giovani che hanno avuto successo dalla sera alla mattina semplicemente grazie a un'idea rivoluzionaria, ma in realtà la questione non è così semplice. I contesti in cui sentiamo parlare di start-up possono essere diversi, ma generalmente si tratta di progetti innovativi che attraverso un'idea cercano di migliorare il nostro modo di vivere oppure cercano di offrire dei servizi totalmente originali e mai pensati prima. Il problema principale per queste nuove realtà imprenditoriali è che si tratta di aziende che non hanno ancora trovato il modo per fare soldi e quindi di conseguenza svilupparsi ed è per questo che vengono definite start-up. Un mondo nuovo che negli ultimi anni ha conosciuto una crescita esponenziale e ha attirato investitori molto importanti creando clamorosi successi, ma anche disastrosi fallimenti. Cercheremo quindi di capire bene di cosa si tratta, di conoscere tutte le sfaccettature di questo nuovo universo lavorativo, scoprendo che non è oro tutto quello che luccica e che anche le start-up nascondono anche delle insidie. ©2017 Area51 Publishing (P)2017 Area51 Publishing

Title: Labor's Love Lost Subtitle: The Rise and Fall of the Working-Class Family in America Author: Andrew J. Cherlin Narrator: Ellery Truesdell Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: In Labor's Love Lost, noted sociologist Andrew Cherlin offers a new historical assessment of the rise and fall of working-class families in America, demonstrating how momentous social and economic transformations have contributed to the collapse of this once-stable social class and what this seismic cultural shift means for the nation's future. Drawing from more than a hundred years of census data, Cherlin documents how today's marriage gap mirrors that of the Gilded Age of the late 19th century, a time of high inequality much like our own. Cherlin demonstrates that the widespread prosperity of working-class families in the mid-20th century, when both income inequality and the marriage gap were low, is the true outlier in the history of the American family. In fact, changes in the economy, culture, and family formation in recent decades have been so great that Cherlin suggests that the working-class family pattern has largely disappeared. Labor's Love Lost provides a compelling analysis of the historical dynamics and ramifications of the growing number of young adults disconnected from steady, decent-paying jobs and from marriage. Cherlin's investigation of today's "would-be working class" shines a much-needed spotlight on the struggling middle of our society in today's new Gilded Age. The book is published by the Russell Sage Foundation. Winner of the 2012 Outstanding Book Award of the Theory Section of the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP).

Title: Why Our Status Quo Failed and Is Beyond Reform Author: Charles Hugh Smith Narrator: Leslie James Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-16 Publisher: Spoken Tome Media Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Economics Publisher's Summary: Our status quo - the pyramid of wealth and power dominated by the few at the top - has failed and is beyond reform. This failure is not rooted in superficial issues such as politics or governmental regulations; the failure is structural. The very foundation of the status quo has rotted away, and brushing on another coat of reformist paint will not save our societal house from collapse. Yet those who benefit from our status quo naturally deny it has failed, for the reason that it has yet to fail them personally - either pretending to not understand that all unsustainable systems eventually collapse, or hoping to postpone it. The writing is on the wall for us to read. We are doing more of what has failed spectacularly. We are implementing emergency measures as permanent policies. We receive diminishing returns on status quo solutions. We suffer declining social mobility. We have a loss of social cohesion/shared purpose. Our status quo is not only failing to solve humanity's six core problems - it has become the problem. Since this failure is now inevitable, something is coming to replace it. It is urgent that each of us understand why our status quo has failed, and why the usual menu of reforms can't stop this failure, so we can prepare ourselves for the radical transformations ahead.

A partire dalla fine degli anni Settanta, il risveglio del drago condizionò pesantemente le economie di tutti gli altri paesi, che dovettero adeguarsi per resistere meglio alla sua influenza, ma che beneficiarono anche di questo potente balzo, che ha trainato in maniera sostenuta l'economia mondiale negli ultimi decenni. Attualmente l'economia cinese è in crisi. Una crisi che preoccupa molto quelle stesse economie che avevano tratto vantaggio dalla crescita costante del paese asiatico e che nel tempo avevano fatto il necessario per adeguarsi al nuovo panorama economico imposto dalla presenza del colosso cinese. Nonostante la crisi, la Cina resta la seconda economia mondiale, dopo gli Stati Uniti, e resta il paese con il tasso di crescita economica più alto al mondo. Per questo, qualsiasi sussulto dell'economia cinese è una motivo di preoccupazione per il resto del mondo. Da qui l'importanza di capire le caratteristiche dell'economia cinese, i suoi punti di forza e i suoi punti deboli. ©2016 Area51 Publishing (P)2016 Area51 Publishing
