Grosz do grosza

Autor bestsellerowej Potęgi irracjonalności łączy poczucie humoru z ekonomią behawioralną, aby zagłębić się w prawdziwie nielogiczny świat finansów osobistych i pomóc czytelnikom w zrozumieniu, dlaczego podejmują złe decyzje finansowe oraz przekazać im wiedzę potrzebną do dokonywania lepszych wyborów. Dlaczego gdy za coś płacimy, często odczuwamy niemal fizyczny ból? Dlaczego występowanie w roli własnego agenta nieruchomości może nas słono kosztować? Dlaczego czujemy się dobrze, przepłacając za jakiś produkt, tylko dlatego, że już wcześniej zapłaciliśmy za niego za dużo? W książce Grosz do grosza światowej sławy ekonomista, Dan Ariely, odpowiada na te intrygujące pytania (i na wiele innych), wyjaśniając, w jaki sposób nasze irracjonalne zachowanie często torpeduje nawet najlepsze intencje w sferze zarządzania naszymi finansami. Wraz z komikiem i dziennikarzem ekonomicznym, Jeffem Kreislerem, Ariely zabiera nas w podróż w głąb ludzkiego umysłu, aby pokazać nam ukryte motywy kierujące naszymi decyzjami dotyczącymi pieniędzy. Ariely i Kreisler analizują szeroki zakres codziennych tematów – od zadłużenia na karcie kredytowej, przez zarządzanie budżetem domowym, po letnie wyprzedaże – aby wykazać, że nasze idee dotyczące dolarów i centów często są błędne i kosztują nas więcej, niż sobie wyobrażamy. Łącząc studia przypadków i anegdoty z praktycznymi wnioskami i poradami, autorzy przedzierają się przez nieświadome lęki i pragnienia leżące u podstaw naszych najgorszych instynktów finansowych i uczą nas, jak zmienić na lepsze nasze zwyczaje związane z pieniędzmi. Fascynująca, zajmująca, zabawna i ważna – książka Dollars and Sense to dobra inwestycja dostarczająca nam praktycznych narzędzi, których potrzebujemy, aby zrozumieć swoje decyzje finansowe i dokonywać lepszych wyborów, aby mądrzej oszczędzać i wydawać pieniądze, a co za tym idzie – aby lepiej żyć. Recenzje międzynarodowe: "Wartościowy przewodnik… Zajmująca i zabawna, pełna anegdot i dobrych rad – ta książka rozprawia się z trudnym tematem, dostarczając nam mnóstwa cennej wiedzy” – „Publishers Weekly” "Zajmujący przewodnik po sposobach podejmowania decyzji finansowych. (…) Lektura obowiązkowa." – „Library Journal” "Jeśli chcesz się nauczyć podejmować dobre decyzje finansowe, przeczytaj Grosz do Grosza. (…) Autorzy w błyskotliwy sposób przybliżają czytelnikowi ekonomię behawioralną." – „Washington Post” "Zaskakująco świeże spojrzenie na przeszkody psychiczne, które utrudniają nam bogacenie się. To jedna z tych nielicznych książek, które sprawiają, że czujemy się dużo mądrzejsi, a jednocześnie dostarczają nam praktycznych wskazówek, dzięki którym możemy ulepszyć swoje codzienne życie." – Business Insider’s Best Business Books of 2017 Dan Ariely jest profesorem psychologii i ekonomii behawioralnej na Uniwersytecie Duke oraz założycielem i dyrektorem Center for Advanced Hindsight (Centrum Zaawansowanej Wiedzy po Fakcie).

Por uma Europa democrática

Por uma Europa democrática

Economista Thomas Piketty se reúne com importantes acadêmicos para propor projeto de democratização da EuropaDurante a recente crise econômica e financeira europeia, foi criado um novo centro de poder: o “governo” da zona do euro. Caracterizado pela informalidade e pela falta de transparência, esse poder se desenvolveu no ponto cego dos controles políticos, numa espécie de buraco negro democrático. Como consequência, há uma indiferença generalizada a vozes dissonantes e a alertas emitidos por processos eleitorais que, de modo persistente, destacam a ascensão de um populismo de extrema direita.Diante desse cenário, surge a necessidade urgente de aprimorar valores democráticos. Stéphanie Hennette, Thomas Piketty, Guillaume Sacriste e Antoine Vauchez propõem neste livro um tratado pela democratização da Europa, tendo como objetivo descartar a opacidade do atual governo em favor de uma instituição democraticamente eleita. Desenvolvido por uma equipe multidisciplinar de advogados, cientistas políticos e economistas, o projeto recomenda, sobretudo, a instauração de uma Assembleia Parlamentar: uma estrutura autônoma capaz de modificar o atual equilíbrio de poder e garantir, por fim, uma lógica de debate pública, plural e democrática que se sobreponha ao culto das diplomacias pouco transparentes.Imperativo e informativo, Por uma Europa democrática é um apelo aos cidadãos para que assumam o controle do debate sobre a atual situação da União Europeia, um debate que, em última instância, influencia decisivamente as economias de todo o mundo.Outros livros de Thomas Piketty:O capital no século XXI, A economia da desigualdade, É possível salvar a Europa? e Às urnas, cidadãos!

Dar e receber

Dar e receber

"Dar e receber está repleto de ideias revolucionárias. Brilhante e sábio, não é apenas um livro: é uma visão de mundo nova em folha. Adam Grant é um dos maiores cientistas sociais de nossa época." – Susan Cain, autora de O poder dos quietosEm Dar e receber, Adam Grant, pesquisador e professor da Wharton School, reúne suas conclusões sobre os motivos pelos quais algumas pessoas chegam ao topo da escala de sucesso, enquanto outras permanecem na mediocridade.Com base em seus estudos pioneiros, Grant revela que, ao contrário do que muitos pensam, as pessoas mais bem-sucedidas nas mais variadas carreiras não são as mais egoístas e implacáveis nem as que agem com base no "toma lá dá cá". Os que chegam mais longe são os doadores.Por outro lado, ao examinar a base da escala de sucesso, o autor constatou que os doa­dores também estão entre os menos bem-sucedidos. Um dos objetivos deste livro é diferenciar os dois tipos de doador e mostrar o que podemos fazer para pôr em prática as estratégias dos vencedores.Combinando conclusões de pesquisas recentes com histórias de personalidades cativantes, este livro conta como o dono da maior rede de contatos do mundo, segundo a Fortune, desenvolveu suas conexões; por que o gênio criativo por trás de um dos programas de TV mais populares trabalhou durante anos no anonimato; como identificar um tomador apenas analisando seu perfil no Facebook; e de que forma poderíamos ter previsto a falência da Enron quatro anos antes do colapso da empresa – isso sem sequer estudar seus números.Aclamado pela crítica e elogiado por cientistas sociais, teóricos de negócios e líderes empresariais, Adam Grant mostra o que os doadores bem-sucedidos fazem de diferente em cinco áreas-chave – networking, colaboração, influência, negociação e liderança.

Peasants and Globalization

Peasants and Globalization

In 2007, for the first time in human history, a majority of the world’s population lived in cities. However, on a global scale, poverty overwhelmingly retains a rural face. This book assembles an unparalleled group of internationally-eminent scholars in the field of rural development and social change in order to explore historical and contemporary processes of agrarian change and transformation and their consequent impact upon the livelihoods, poverty and well-being of those who live in the countryside. The book provides a critical analysis of the extent to which rural development trajectories have in the past and are now promoting a change in rural production processes, the accumulation of rural resources, and shifts in rural politics, and the implications of such trajectories for peasant livelihoods and rural workers in an era of globalization. Peasants and Globalization thus explores continuity and change in the debate on the ‘agrarian question’, from its early formulation in the late 19th century to the continuing relevance it has in our times, including chapters from Terence Byres, Amiya Bagchi, Ellen Wood, Farshad Araghi, Henry Bernstein, Saturnino M Borras, Ray Kiely, Michael Watts and Philip McMichael. Collectively, the contributors argue that neoliberal social and economic policies have, in deepening the market imperative governing the contemporary world food system, not only failed to tackle to underlying causes of rural poverty but have indeed deepened the agrarian crisis currently confronting the livelihoods of peasant farmers and rural workers. This crisis does not go unchallenged, as rural social movements have emerged, for the first time, on a transnational scale. Confronting development policies that are unable to reduce, let alone eliminate, rural poverty, transnational rural social movements are attempting to construct a more just future for the world’s farmers and rural workers.
