23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism
by Ha-Joon ChangOne of the world's most respected economists and author of the international bestseller "Bad Samaritans" equips readers with an understanding of how global capitalism works--and doesn't.
23 cosas que no te cuentan sobre el capitalismo
by Ha-Joon Chang¿Cómo no vimos venir el colapso económico en que nos hallamos? Ha-Joon Chang, uno de los economistas más respetados del mundo, tiene la respuesta: no preguntamos qué era lo que no nos contaban sobre el capitalismo. Este es un libro ameno con una intención muy seria, cuestionar las premisas que sostienen el dogma y la propaganda que la escuela dominante de economistas neoliberales -los apóstoles del libre mercado- ha lanzado desde los tiempos de Reagan. 23 cosas que no te cuentan sobre el capitalismo cambiará la manera en que ves todos los tópicos sobre la economía. Ha-Joon Chang hace añicos los principales mitos del mundo en que vivimos y explica cómo funciona realmente el sistema, por ejemplo: -No hay mercados libres. -La globalización no está haciendo más rico el mundo. -La lavadora ha cambiado más el mundo que internet. -En los países pobres hay más iniciativa empresarial que en los ricos. -Los directivos mejor pagados no consiguen mejores resultados Chang, premiado autor de varios libros, es uno de los economistas más respetados del mundo, una voz de cordura e inteligencia en la tradición de John Kenneth Galbraith y Joseph Stiglitz. 23 cosas que no te cuentan sobre el capitalismo permite entender cómo funciona el capitalismo global... y cómo no lo hace. En "Cómo reconstruir la economía mundial", la conclusión final, Chang explica cómo podemos modelar el capitalismo para humanizarlo, en vez de convertirnos en esclavos del mercado. Reseñas:«Una magistral refutación de algunos mitos del capitalismo. Ingenioso, heterodoxo y lleno de sentido común, este libro es imprescindible.»Observer «Importante y convincente. Una clara argumentación en defensa de una etapa más cauta y preocupada por la gente.»Financial Times «Chang, profesor de Economía en Cambridge, resulta inteligente y apasionado sin necesidad de subir los decibelios.»Time «Chang ofrece un iluminador resumen del pensamiento económico moderno, y de todos los casos en que no ha funcionado, animándonos a actuar para reconstruir por completo la economía mundial.»Publishers Weekly «Un libro esencial para todos los que quieran entender el capitalismo no como lo cuentan los economistas o los políticos, sino tal cómo funciona en realidad.»John Gray «Un libro entretenido, accesible y provocador.»Sunday Times
23/7: Pelican Bay Prison and the Rise of Long-Term Solitary Confinement
by Keramet ReiterHow America’s prisons turned a “brutal and inhumane” practice into standard procedure Originally meant to be brief and exceptional, solitary confinement in U.S. prisons has become long-term and common. Prisoners spend twenty-three hours a day in featureless cells, with no visitors or human contact for years on end, and they are held entirely at administrators’ discretion. Keramet Reiter tells the history of one “supermax,” California’s Pelican Bay State Prison, whose extreme conditions recently sparked a statewide hunger strike by 30,000 prisoners. This book describes how Pelican Bay was created without legislative oversight, in fearful response to 1970s radicals; how easily prisoners slip into solitary; and the mental havoc and social costs of years and decades in isolation. The product of fifteen years of research in and about prisons, this book provides essential background to a subject now drawing national attention.
23andMe: Genetic Testing For Consumers (A)
by John A. Quelch Margaret RodriguezOn November 22, 2013, the direct-to-consumer genetic testing provider, 23andMe, received a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordering the company to halt the sale and promotion of its genetic testing kit. The FDA stated that the product was marketed as a diagnostic and preventative tool and that it was subject to the agency's regulations for medical devices. Company co-founder Anne Wojcicki and chairman Andy Page carefully considered the potential impact of the FDA's letter on 23andMe's position in the industry and the sustainability of its operations.

24 Days: How Two Wall Street Journal Reporters Uncovered the Lies that Destroyed Faith in Corporate America
by John R. Emshwiller Rebecca SmithNATIONAL BESTSELLER—with a new prologue and chapter by the authors. “A fascinating tale that reveals as much about the journalistic process as about Enron.” —The Washington PostThis is the story of Rebecca Smith and John R. Emshwiller, the two reporters who led the Wall Street Journal’s reporting on Enron and uncovered the unorthodox partnerships at the heart of the scandal through skill, luck, and relentless determination.It all started in August 2001when Emshwiller was assigned to write a supposedly simple article on the unexpected resignation of Enron CEO Jeff Skilling. During his research, Emshwiller uncovered a buried reference to an off-balance-sheet partnership called LJM. Little did he know, this was the start of a fast and furious ride through the remarkable downfall of a once highly-prized company.Written in an intense, fast paced narrative style, 24 Days tells the gripping story of the colossal collapse of what would become the world’s most notorious corporation. The reader follows along as Smith and Emshwiller continue to uncover new partnerships and self-dealing among the highest levels of Enron’s management. As they publish articles detailing their findings in the Journal, Wall Street and individual investors have a crisis of confidence and start selling Enron stock at unprecedented levels of volume. In the end—24 short days later—Enron had completely collapsed, erasing 16 years of growth and losing $19 billion in market value while watching the stock drop from $33.84 to $8.41. Not only was the company destroyed, but investors and retired employees were completely wiped out—all the while Enron executives were collecting millions of dollars.“Gripping . . . the best of the Enron books yet.” —USA Today
24-Hour Cities: Real Investment Performance, Not Just Promises
by Hugh F. KellyWinner of the Gold Award in the Tenth Annual Robert Bruss Real Estate Book Competition 24 Hour Cities is the very first full length book about America’s cities that never sleep. Over the last fifty years, the nation’s top live-work-play cities have proven themselves more than just vibrant urban environments for the elite. They are attracting a cross-section of the population from across the U.S. and are preferred destinations for immigrants of all income strata. This is creating a virtuous circle wherein economic growth enhances property values, stronger real estate markets sustain more reliable tax bases, and solid municipal revenues pay for better services that further attract businesses and talented individuals. Yet, just a generation ago, cities like New York, Boston, Washington, San Francisco, and Miami were broke (financially and physically), scarred by violence, and prime examples of urban dysfunction. How did the turnaround happen? And why are other cities still stuck with the hollow downtowns and sprawling suburbs that make for a 9-to-5 urban configuration? Hugh Kelly’s cross-disciplinary research identifies the ingredients of success, and the recipe that puts them together.
24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week
by Tiffany ShlainIn 24/6, Tiffany Shlain explores how turning off screens one day a week can work wonders on your brain, body, and soul. Internet pioneer and renowned filmmaker Tiffany Shlain takes us on a provocative and entertaining journey through time and technology, introducing a strategy for living in our 24/7 world: turning off all screens for twenty-four hours each week. This practice, which she’s done for nearly a decade with her husband and kids (sixteen and ten), has completely changed their lives, giving them more time, productivity, connection, and presence. She and her family call it “Technology Shabbat.” Drawn from the ancient ritual of Shabbat, living 24/6 can work for anyone from any background. With humor and wisdom, Shlain shares her story, offers lessons she has learned, and provides a blueprint for how to do it yourself. Along the way, she delves into the neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and history of a weekly day of rest across cultures, making the case for why we need to bring this ritual back. A compelling personal story and a fascinating, far-reaching examination of the complex world we’ve created, 24/6 is a call to rebalance ourselves and our society.
24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep
by Jonathan Crary&“A fascinating short book&” on the perils of 21st-century capitalism and its near-complete takeover of our everyday lives (New York Times Magazine) 24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep explores some of the ruinous consequences of the expanding non-stop processes of twenty-first-century capitalism. The marketplace now operates through every hour of the clock, pushing us into constant activity and eroding forms of community and political expression, damaging the fabric of everyday life. Jonathan Crary examines how this interminable non-time blurs any separation between an intensified, ubiquitous consumerism and emerging strategies of control and surveillance. He describes the ongoing management of individual attentiveness and the impairment of perception within the compulsory routines of contemporary technological culture. At the same time, he shows that human sleep, as a restorative withdrawal that is intrinsically incompatible with 24/7 capitalism, points to other more formidable and collective refusals of world-destroying patterns of growth and accumulation.
24M Technologies
by John R. Wells Benjamin WeinstockIn early 2020, 24M Technologies (24M) announced that two of its strategic investors had commenced building plants to produce lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries based on 24M's novel semi-solid electrode technology. This promised to halve the cost of conventional Li-ion batteries, increase the energy density to provide greater range in electric vehicles, and make them safer and more reliable. Cofounders Yet-Ming Chiang and Throop Wilder had set up the company 10 years earlier in a quest to take all that was good about Li-ion technology and improve it. The founders argued that, historically, Li-ion development had focused on miniaturized cells for consumer electronics and that these design principles had been carried over into cells destined for electric cars and grid-scale batteries. It made no sense to accept these constraints. What was needed was a fresh start; to begin with a "clean sheet of paper." The technology had taken 10 years and nearly $100 million to develop from a laboratory demonstration to a commercial product. Now, the challenge was to scale it up to compete with conventional technology.
