Maynard's Revenge: The Collapse of Free Market Macroeconomics
by Lance TaylorIt is now widely agreed that mainstream macroeconomics is irrelevant and that there is need for a more useful and realistic economic analysis that can provide a better understanding of the ongoing global financial and economic crisis. Lance Taylor’s book exposes the unrealistic assumptions of the rational expectations and real business cycle approaches and of mainstream finance theory. It argues that in separating monetary and financial behavior from real behavior, they do not address the ways that consumption, accumulation, and the government play in the workings of the economy. Taylor argues that the ideas of J. M. Keynes and others provide a more useful framework both for understanding the crisis and for dealing with it effectively. Keynes’s basic points were fundamental uncertainty and the absence of Say’s Law. He set up machinery to analyze the macro economy under such circumstances, including the principle of effective demand, liquidity preference, different rules for determining commodity and asset prices, distinct behavioral patterns of different collective actors, and the importance of thinking in terms of complete macro accounting schemes. Economists working in this tradition also worked out growth and cycle models. Employing these ideas throughout Maynard’s Revenge, Taylor provides an analytical narrative about the causes of the crisis, and suggestions for dealing with it.
Mayo Clinic: The 2020 Initiative
by Robert S. Huckman Regina E. Herzlinger Jenny LesserDescribes the challenges facing Dr. John Noseworthy, President and CEO, in implementing a long-term strategy for the growth of the Mayo Clinic-a leading academic medical center with a reputation for excellence in tertiary and quaternary health care. The case highlights the concurrent forces of regional and national competition and federal health care reform as factors complicating the plans of Mayo Clinic to grow through several channels. Students must ultimately decide whether Mayo Clinic should focus its future growth on its current areas of expertise (regional provision of integrated medical care and international provision of tertiary and quaternary care), new opportunities in a broader range of services and treatment channels (e.g., telemedicine, mobile health, enterprise learning and training for other health care systems), or some combination of these opportunities.

Maîtriser Bitcoin - Guide du débutant pour commencer à gagner de l'argent avec Bitcoin
by Adidas WilsonLe Bitcoin est une crypto-monnaie et un système de paiement numérique inventé par un programmeur inconnu, ou un groupe de programmeurs, sous le nom de Satoshi Nakamoto. Il est sorti en tant que logiciel open source en 2009. Le système est pair à pair et les transactions ont lieu directement entre les utilisateurs, sans intermédiaire. Ces transactions sont vérifiées par des nœuds de réseau et enregistrées dans un registre public distribué appelé blockchain. Étant donné que le système fonctionne sans référentiel central ni administrateur unique, le bitcoin est appelé la première monnaie numérique décentralisée. En plus d'être créé en récompense de l'exploitation minière, le bitcoin peut être échangé contre d'autres devises, produits et services sur les marchés légaux ou noirs. En février 2015, plus de 100 000 commerçants et vendeurs ont accepté le bitcoin comme moyen de paiement. Selon une recherche réalisée par l'Université de Cambridge en 2017, 2,9 à 5,8 millions d'utilisateurs uniques utilisent un portefeuille de crypto-monnaie, la plupart utilisant du bitcoin.

McCloskey's Rhetoric: Discourse Ethics in Economics (Routledge INEM Advances in Economic Methodology #Vol. 5)
by Benjamin BalakThe rhetoric of economics has long claimed scientific objectivity, however the late, great economist Joan Robinson argued that ‘the purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.’ This unique book examines the use of rhetoric in economics, focusing on the work of Deirdre McCloskey and other major economic philosophers. McCloskey is one of the most recognizable names in economics, yet this is the first real attempt to analyze her work in book form. She views economics as a language that uses all the rhetorical devices of everyday conversation, and her controversial standpoint on judging economics by aesthetic and literary standards has been hugely influential. Utilizing the views of Derrida and Foucualt amongst others, Benjamin Balak analyzes McCloskey’s major texts and critically evaluates the linguistic, literary and philosophical approaches they introduce. This long overdue examination of the methodological and philosophical consequences of McCloskey’s work will be of interest to philosophers and economists alike.

McKesson
by Regina E. Herzlinger Natalie KindredMcKesson, a large, diversified drug distribution and health care IT company, is considering development of new business offerings to help private practice physicians remain independent. The company, with $122 billion in 2010 revenues, just made its first foray into health care services with the acquisition of U.S. Oncology, an integrated cancer care company, whose expertise it could leverage in offerings catered to other physician specialties. With a vast portfolio of products and services serving a wide spectrum of health care stakeholders, McKesson appears uniquely positioned to understand and capitalize on the needs of health care businesses. With the recent passage of health care reform adding to the pressures already squeezing the health care industry-including new payment models requiring significant coordination and IT capabilities-independent physicians are migrating in droves to large health care organizations, abandoning the private practice model. McKesson could potentially provide them with an alternative. McKesson is an exceedingly large company with somewhat autonomous business units, making the prospect of collaborating to create a "cross-disciplinary" offering for independent practices difficult. Moreover, doing so would potentially extend McKesson into the clinical health services (and potentially risk-sharing) business, the strategic merits of which can be debated. Given the uncertainty surrounding the physician practice environment, the ideal shape of a solution to help these customers remains unclear, and competitors with a different product mix could be better positioned than McKesson to provide it. Finally, it could be too late altogether to reverse the trends eroding the private practice model.
McKinsey & Co.-Protecting its Reputation (A)
by Jay W. Lorsch Emily MctagueOn Tuesday March 15, 2011, all 1,200 global Partners of McKinsey & Co. gathered at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center near Washington, DC for their annual Partners' conference. The atmosphere was tense as Partners, in addition to their normal agenda, discussed the Galleon Group insider-trading trial and the recent allegations against the Firm's former Managing Director, Rajat Gupta. Three months earlier Senior Partner, Anil Kumar, plead guilty to providing confidential information about McKinsey clients he served to Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam. The McKinsey Partners were shocked and dismayed by the actions of Kumar, as well as the recent allegations against Gupta and were closely monitoring the situation. Could a former Managing Director of their Firm have conspired to enable insider trading? And if so, what did that mean for the future of the Firm?
