Amazon Publishing Resource Revolution
Book SynopsisTrade Review“If you’re feeling down about the world, the book, Resource Revolution: How to Capture the Biggest Business Opportunity in a Century, is an antidote.” —The New York Times “The energy industry is undergoing a breathtaking pace of change, but the scale of transformation is obscured by the vast network of legacy assets controlled by large incumbents. Resource Revolution walks us through the technological and demographic trends that will render the old business models that dominate legacy assets obsolete and argues elegantly that the next industrial revolution is upon us. With a nuts and bolts prescription on revolutionary possibilities, Stefan Heck and Matt Rogers have produced a readable, entertaining guidebook that should be on the desks of every CEO with a vision to the future. If you are over 50, oversee corporate resources or private funds, and have a millennial child who is trying to teach you how to recycle properly and benefit from the sharing economy, Resource Revolution is a must-read.” —Amy Myers Jaffe, Executive Director, Energy and Sustainability, University of California, Davis “For 50 years, resource constraints have been seen as a serious threat to human well-being and progress -- threatening food shortages, environmental collapse, and economic ruin. Heck and Rogers turn this picture upside down -- showing how the impending “resource revolution” promises to bring innovation, prosperity, and economic growth on an ever more sustainable basis. Their book is a must read for policymakers, business leaders, market analysts, and anyone else with an interest in the future of humankind.” —Dan Esty, Hillhouse Professor, Yale University, and author of Green to Gold

Berrett-Koehler Publishers Believe-in-You Money: What Would It Look Like If
Book SynopsisOffering a revolution in Black business financing, this book centers the entrepreneur and responds to the systemic failures surrounding Black wealth building.There is a huge racial wealth gap in America today. Owning a business is one of the best ways to build wealth—but entrepreneurs need capital. And investing in Black companies is obstructed by systemic racism and implicit biases that continue to create barriers to success.Merging historical information and data, along with tactical examples and explanations, this practical guide shows us what needs to be done in order to change the way we support Black companies and how we think about wealth.Norwood calls for investors to move away from extractive, individualistic, exploitative approaches to capital and entrepreneurship. She asks us to move toward transformational, restorative, regenerative, and interdependent relationships to repair the impacts of systemic racism. Investors, large and small, need to say to Black business owners, “we believe in you.”With an entrepreneur-centric approach, Believe-In-You Money challenges the system failure surrounding Black companies. It’s a guide on how Black entrepreneurs can be supported in sustainable ways and offers a shift in the way we think about who can be an investor, while aiming to change our personal relationships with money.

Seven Stories Press,U.S. The 86 Biggest Lies on Wall Street
Book SynopsisHow strong was the American economy going into the present crisis? How strong will it be a year from now? How about five years from now? Investors and citizens around the world realize, as never before, that we were misled—lied to—about the stability of our financial system. But what now?John R. Talbott''s ingenious new book, The 86 Biggest Lies on Wall Street, exposes the lies and then exposes us to the truth of what it will take to rebuild our economy. As a former investment banker at Goldman Sachs, Talbott knows firsthand how the financial system operates and what it will take to fix it. As the oracle who predicted the housing crisis in his 2003 book, The Coming Crash in the Housing Market, warned of a global banking crisis in his 2006 book, Sell Now, and called the election for Obama when the senator from Illinois was still the underdog in Obamanomics, Talbott'' s revelations about how the Street and the economy really work are as clear-eyed and undeniable as his predictions and recommendations for our economic future are tough, sensible and exciting. We may ignore them at our own peril.What will people be talking about in years to come? To find out, read John Talbott now.

Berrett-Koehler The Three Simple Rules of Investing: Why
Book SynopsisOver the past several decades, thereâs been an explosion of investment strategies, products, services, and advisors. Yet, as longtime investment industry insiders show in this powerful exposÃ, almost all the popular investment strategies and products are based on confusion and deception and donât work, and almost all investment services and advisors cost far more than they are worth. The book first explains three simple rules of investing - and why Wall Street and most of the investment industry does not want you to know them. Then the authors examine each of the prevailing claims and recommendations espoused by investment industry professionals as well as journalists and explain, one by one, why each is wrong and not only costly to investors but also enormously enriching to investment firms and advisors. The result is the most powerful guide yet published for what investors should and should not do to protect and grow their investments.

Elliott & Thompson Limited The Debtonator: How Debt Favours the Few and
Book SynopsisWe are all swamped in debt. Households, corporations, governments...debt has become so ingrained in our culture, it is an unquestioned fact of life. However, there is another way of bankrolling our economic future, one that could lead to a much fairer society: equity There is increasing evidence that over reliance on debt finance is damaging both business and society. Debt leaves control and ownership in the hands of too few: it is a direct source of extreme inequality. Equity finance can redress the balance; by broadening direct ownership of assets through equity, we can make everyone better off - not just the few. There is value in equity way beyond what financiers, economists, investment bankers and many corporate CEOs will tell you. It is the value of aligned interests, of trust and fairness, of optimism and patience, of stability and simplicity, of shared endeavour. Only when we unleash this value will economic democracy secure the political democracy that we cherish.Trade Review'In his short book Debtonator, [McNally] contends that the advantage of debt over equity conferred by most tax systems (that offer tax relief on debt interest), as a result favouring corporate financiers, is not only hugely destabilising but another of the sources of wealth inequality seemingly hard-wired into our financial system... So by incentivising debt over equity have we turned debt into not just a symptom of our system but one of its shaping forces? Indeed we have.' -- Merryn Somerset Webb, Financial Times; 'A brilliant analysis of current financial and social failures - why we must change the system before it's too late.' --Chris Gibson-Smith, Chairman of the London Stock Exchange. 'McNally advances a compelling argument for long lasting wealth creation through the use of equity as compared to the essentially nihilistic nature of debt. He uses some wonderful illustrations of how debt has got totally out of hand. I particularly liked his point that if you laid all of the world's debt in dollar bills from end to end it would stretch from Earth to Mars and back 50 times!' --RealBusiness.co.uk 'Andrew McNally has produced a readable and admirably short book arguing in favour of a much greater use of the other sort of funding - equity. Debtonator: How Debt Favours the Few and Equity Can Work For All of Us goes beyond simply recommending lower leverage because it makes a financial system more robust. He believes that wider use of equity is a path to greater prosperity for the many, not just the few.' -- Simon Taylor, University Lecturer in Finance at Cambridge Judge Business School; 'In this short book, the author pulls no punches about the level and consequences of the ever growing debt- mountain' - The ChartistTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 1.
