Wink - A Modern Day Parable of Wealth Beyond Words (Wealth Dynamics)

WINK is a modern day parable of a nine year old boy being raised by his carpenter father who is sick and tired. Every day for the last 20 years the carpenter has visited the Well of Wealth and spent a dollar, believing that if he gives generously to the Well, it will give generously to him in return. On this day, the Carpenter is so unwell he is unable to visit the well, so he sends his nine year old son, Richard, in his place. Richard is entrusted with a treasured crumpled dollar, and sets off on his journey to the Well of Wealth. Following an overgrown path, Richard discovers that the Well of Wealth is not where or what he thought it was. On the journey Richard meets a host of mysterious and intriguing characters including an old woman, an Optometrist, a Plumber, a Gardener, a Fisherman, a Rower, a Musician, and an Inn Keeper. Each have built their wealth in very different ways, and yet, there is something about them that is common to them all.

1001

Business & Personal Finance

La dureza con que la dictadura franquista quiso “ejemplarizar” la caída de los líderes del movimiento obrero en España, aplicando unas exorbitadas penas de prisión a la cúpula de Comisiones Obreras, los "diez de Carabanchel", acabó por convertir el Proceso 1001 en un símbolo nacional e internacional de la lucha por la democracia y las libertades en España. A partir de entrevistas a los protagonistas del 1001, los autores y autoras relatan su detención, el juicio —que tiene lugar el mismo día del asesinato de Carrero Blanco— y la vida de los sindicalistas en la prisión. Pero también nos contextualizan el momento, mostrando las repercusiones que este hecho provocó en el movimiento obrero, en la mejora de los derechos laborales y en el conjunto de la lucha antifranquista. Finalmente, este libro busca reconocer también el esfuerzo de sindicalistas anónimos y visibilizar la voz crítica de las mujeres y su papel en la lucha sindical. “Jamás una narración sin ellas. El relato estaría incompleto y, por tanto, no respondería a la verdad” (Elvira Lindo).

The Fall of the Euro: Reinventing the Eurozone and the Future of Global Investing

Business & Personal Finance

What does the crisis in the Eurozone mean for our markets—and how can you protect your portfolio against a breakup of the Euro? A leading currency expert explainsLittle has been written about the instability of the Euro, but it’s a very real threat to investors worldwide, as well as to the global economy. In The Fall of the Euro, the Global Head of Currency Strategy at Nomura describes why the breakup of the Eurozone remains a real risk and outlines investment strategies for the most likely scenarios.Over the last two years, swings in global asset markets have been increasingly driven by developments in Europe. This is something new: in the past, Europe was one of the most stable parts of the global economy, and its typically minor economic fluctuations would have little bearing on US equity markets. In the new environment of European turbulence, Europe's economic and political developments will be a persistent source of shocks for global financial markets. If the path ahead involves a disorderly breakup of the Eurozone, the instability to come will be much more intense than what we have seen to date. As an investor, you need a roadmap. This book provides it.Jens Nordvig is Managing Director, Head of Fixed Income Research, Americas and Global Head of Currency Strategy at Nomura, the global investment bank. Previously, Nordvig worked as a Senior Currency Strategist for investment management firm Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedge fund in the world.

Debt, Taxes and Corporate Restructuring

Business & Personal Finance

The boom in corporate restructuring, accompanied by large increases in debt finance, was one of the most important developments in the U.S. economy in the 1980s. Financial and tax specialists analyze how the U.S. tax system-especially in its bias toward debt financing-has affected corporate financial decisions and influenced the recent wave of corporate restructuring. The authors evaluate the hypothesis that the rise in the cost of capital during the 1980s helped stimulate the surge in corporate takeovers. They analyze the effect that changes in tax laws and in the volume of government debt have had on corporate financial decisions. The authors examine how recent financial innovations have blurred the distinction between debt and equity finance.
