Rotary International and the Selling of American Capitalism
by Brendan GoffA new history of Rotary International shows how the organization reinforced capitalist values and cultural practices at home and tried to remake the world in the idealized image of Main Street America. Rotary International was born in Chicago in 1905. By the time World War II was over, the organization had made good on its promise to “girdle the globe.” Rotary International and the Selling of American Capitalism explores the meteoric rise of a local service club that brought missionary zeal to the spread of American-style economics and civic ideals. Brendan Goff traces Rotary’s ideological roots to the business progressivism and cultural internationalism of the United States in the early twentieth century. The key idea was that community service was intrinsic to a capitalist way of life. The tone of “service above self” was often religious, but, as Rotary looked abroad, it embraced Woodrow Wilson’s secular message of collective security and international cooperation: civic internationalism was the businessman’s version of the Christian imperial civilizing mission, performed outside the state apparatus. The target of this mission was both domestic and global. The Rotarian, the organization’s publication, encouraged Americans to see the world as friendly to Main Street values, and Rotary worked with US corporations to export those values. Case studies of Rotary activities in Tokyo and Havana show the group paving the way for encroachments of US power—economic, political, and cultural—during the interwar years. Rotary’s evangelism on behalf of market-friendly philanthropy and volunteerism reflected a genuine belief in peacemaking through the world’s “parliament of businessmen.” But, as Goff makes clear, Rotary also reinforced American power and interests, demonstrating the tension at the core of US-led internationalism.
The Roth Revolution: Pay Taxes Once and Never Again
by James LangeIn essence, a Roth IRA conversion requires paying taxes on the portion of your IRA or 401(k) that you convert, but then that money can grow income tax-free for the rest of your, your spouse’s, your children's and grandchildren's lives. The advantage of a tax-savvy long term Roth IRA conversion is often measured in the millions. The real eye-opener, however, is that Roth IRA conversions are great for older IRA owners, regardless of the benefits to future generations. "The Roth Revolution" addresses the following topics clearly and objectively: Whether, how much, and when to convert, Costs and benefits of a Roth IRA conversion, Advice for taxpayers in each income tax bracket, The impact of future tax increases, Synergy of delaying (or returning) Social Security and Roth IRA conversions, Combining charitable gifts and Roth IRA conversions, Tax-free conversions of after-tax dollars in IRAs and retirement plans, and Converting and re-characterizing strategies. You may be asking, “Who in their right mind would pay taxes before they have to?” The answer is James Lange and thousands of his readers and clients, all the top IRA experts, and after reading "The Roth Revolution", hopefully you too.

Rough Ideas: Reflections on Music and More
by Stephen HoughA collection of essays on music and life by the famed classical pianist and composerStephen Hough is one of the world’s leading pianists, winning global acclaim and numerous awards, both for his concerts and his recordings. He is also a writer, composer, and painter, and has been described by The Economist as one of “Twenty Living Polymaths.”Hough writes informally and engagingly about music and the life of a musician, from the broader aspects of what it is to walk out onto a stage or to make a recording, to specialist tips from deep inside the practice room: how to trill, how to pedal, how to practice. He also writes vividly about people he’s known, places he’s traveled to, books he’s read, paintings he’s seen; and he touches on more controversial subjects, such as assisted suicide and abortion. Even religion is there—the possibility of the existence of God, problems with some biblical texts, and the challenges involved in being a gay Catholic.Rough Ideas is an illuminating, constantly surprising introduction to the life and mind of one of our great cultural figures.

Roush Performance: How to Design a Sales Force Compensation Plan
by Doug J. ChungRoush Performance manufactured and marketed factory-modified performance vehicles and high-end aftermarket performance products. Since its inception, Roush Performance had concentrated effort on building its engineering technology competency and diversifying its product portfolio to grow sales. Many of its engineers were proud to be on the forefront of technological innovations with the company. In contrast, Roush's marketing and sales divisions had a somewhat passive role. The sales culture was thought to be stagnant, and sales compensation, one of the key elements in motivating salespeople, had remained unchanged over the past 25 years. Thus, the CEO had instructed the newly appointed VP of marketing to come up with a new sales force compensation scheme to provide salespeople with adequate incentives to increase sales performance. The VP of marketing proposed several alternative schemes, including changes to fixed salaries, commissions, and quota-bonuses. The case provides detailed contents to discuss the effects of various components of compensation on different types of salespeople.
The Route Towards Global Sustainability: Challenges and Management Practices
by Pardeep Singh Yulia Milshina André Batalhão Sanjeev Sharma Marlia Mohd HanafiahThis volume discusses topics of global sustainability involving sustainability indicators, stakeholders' participation, and technological and strategic advances with the goal of "thinking locally to act globally". Scientists, academics, policymakers, and planners are currently focused on escalating global socioeconomic and ecological issues, such as rising inequality, adverse anthropogenic impacts on the environment, and deficiencies in natural resources. These variables are pushing the earth system's resistance capacity past its breaking point, with additional pressures incurred by a global pandemic. Therefore, this book looks to impart knowledge on participatory learning action research for human and environmental health and well-being. Sustainable development planning and management are needed in these pressing circumstances, and they necessitate an analytical interpretation of ongoing processes, current and future challenges, and an understanding of available tools and technologies. The main sections of the book focus on challenges and management practices for global sustainability, promoting educational values, smart initiatives in urban contexts, and integrating emerging sustainability dimensions in policies and legislation. The primary audience for the work is policy makers, urban planners, social scientists, economists, NGOs, and students, researchers, and educators engaged in environmental social science and sustainability management.
Routenplaner Kreativität: So kommen Sie im Alltag und Job sofort auf richtig gute Ideen
by Stephan SonnenburgDer »Routenplaner Kreativität« bietet Ihnen – illustriert anhand einer Bergtour – einen einfachen Leitfaden, wie Sie mit motivierenden Kreativitätsübungen richtig gute Ideen entwickeln und erfolgreich in die Tat umsetzen.Kreativität ist ein schillerndes Phänomen: Wir reden darüber, bewundern es, können es aber doch nicht richtig erfassen. Die Einen sprechen von »Kreativität auf Knopfdruck«, die Anderen von »Thinking outside the Box«. Kreativität soll für eine Art Leichtigkeit des Seins stehen. Dies ist ein Trugschluss. Kreativität ist nicht einfach da. Kreativität entsteht nicht aus dem Nichts. Kreativität entwickelt sich auf einer Reise ins Unbekannte. Dabei werden wir zu Helden unserer eigenen Kreativität.Für die passende Route brauchen Sie Unterstützung, Anregung, aber auch Tipps und Tricks, wann sich welche Kreativitätsübung anbietet. Der »Routenplaner Kreativität« ist das erste Buch, das Ihnen Schritt für Schritt von Problemen zu richtig guten Lösungen verhilft. Er regt zum lockeren Trainieren und zum professionellen Einsatz von Kreativitätsübungen in allen Lebenslagen an. Das Buch ist kurzweilig, inspirierend, motivierend und zugleich pragmatisch. Der Routenplaner begleitet Sie auf Ihrer Reise zu mehr Kreativität. Verlassen Sie jetzt Ihre Komfortzone und entdecken Sie Ihr kreatives Funkeln – für sich oder im Team, im Alltag oder Job.Aus der Einleitung im Buch:Viele Fachbücher zu Kreativitätstechniken geben wertvolle Einblicke und enthalten praktische Hinweise. Leider sind sie häufig zu abstrakt und binden die Kreativitätstechniken nicht überzeugend in einen Lern- und Prozesskontext ein. Sie erklären nicht wirklich, wann und wozu die Kreativitätstechniken eingesetzt werden sollen. Hinzu kommt, dass sie oft einzeln vorgestellt werden, aber nicht als Teil eines größeren Ganzen.Viele Kreativitätstechniken sind auch zu kompliziert, um sie einfach im Alltag anwenden zu können. Andere Bücher reihen eine Kreativitätstechnik an die andere. Es scheint darum zu gehen, den Wettbewerb zu gewinnen, wer die meisten Kreativitätstechniken auflisten kann. Dies führt zu der Schwierigkeit, aus dem Überangebot die passenden Techniken auszuwählen, um die eigene Kreativität zu steigern.In diesem Buch geht es um Sie und Ihren Erfolg in der Ideenfindung und Ideenvertiefung. Und es geht darum, wie Sie systematisch und zielführend mit Ihrer Kreativität arbeiten können. Kreativität soll für eine Art Leichtigkeit des Seins stehen. Dies ist ein Trugschluss. Kreativität ist nicht einfach da. Kreativität entsteht nicht aus dem Nichts oder im Irgendwo. Kreativität ist keine statische Größe. In Wirklichkeit entsteht Kreativität im Tun und in der Auseinandersetzung mit einem Problem oder einer Herausforderung.Ideen müssen in der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Problem geboren werden. Dies kann ein sehr mühsamer Weg sein, der Sie an Ihre eigenen Grenzen führt. Gerade dort kann sich aber ein Höchstmaß an Kreativität entfalten.Warum arbeite ich mit der Bergmetapher: Auf meiner Reise in den Alpen kam mir die Einsicht, dass der Prozess vom Problem bis zur kreativen Lösung als eine Bergtour beschrieben werden kann. Die Metapher Berg steht für das erstrebenswerte Unbekannte und soll Sie motivieren, den Ideenberg bis zum Gipfel zu besteigen. Wer sich auf den Weg zu richtig guten Ideen machen will, muss die Komfortzone verlassen und die Reise ins Unbekannte wagen. Und auf Reisen werden Sie zum Helden Ihrer eigenen Kreativität. Dabei ist wichtig, dass Sie nicht ungeplant und kopflos den Berg der Ideen besteigen. Die Bergmetapher verdeutlicht, dass der Gipfel lediglich ein Zwischenziel ist, allerdings der Woweffekt zur Halbzeit. Jeder Bergsteiger muss wieder hinabsteigen. Häufig ist der Abstieg anstrengender als der Aufstieg. So ist es auch mit Ideen. Es reicht nicht aus, gute Ideen zu haben. Wir alle wissen, dass viele Ideen nicht das Licht der Welt erblicken. Der Routenplaner Kreativität hilft Ihnen, die Ideen zu erfolgreichen Lös
Routenzugplanung: Ein Fallbeispiel (essentials)
by Thomas Liebetruth Lisa MerklIn diesem essential werden die Grundlagen zur administrativen Planung von Routenzugsystemen zusammengefasst. Routenzugsysteme sind zum Standard der innerbetrieblichen Materialversorgung geworden. Geringe Bestände durch hochfrequente Materialanlieferung oder Optimierung des Personaleinsatzes sind nur zwei Vorteile, die Routenzüge bieten. Es existieren aber nur wenige praxisorientierte Handlungsleitfäden, die auch auf „Brownfield“-Planungsfälle eingehen. Deshalb erfolgt die Planung häufig intuitiv und Effizienzpotenziale werden auf dem Fahrweg liegen gelassen. Thomas Liebetruth und Lisa Merkl konkretisieren die Planung von Routenzugsystemen mithilfe eines „Brownfield“-Fallbeispiels. Darin werden Gestaltungsfelder und Planung von Routenzugsystemen anwendungsorientiert dargestellt. Schließlich wird ein Ausblick auf innovative technische Möglichkeiten mit Routenzügen im Zusammenhang von Industrie-4.0-Vorhaben gegeben.
Routes of Power
by Christopher F. JonesThe fossil fuel revolution is usually rendered as a tale of historic advances in energy production. In this perspective-changing account, Christopher F. Jones instead tells a story of advances in energy access--canals, pipelines, and wires that delivered power in unprecedented quantities to cities and factories at a great distance from production sites. He shows that in the American mid-Atlantic region between 1820 and 1930, the construction of elaborate transportation networks for coal, oil, and electricity unlocked remarkable urban and industrial growth along the eastern seaboard. But this new transportation infrastructure did not simply satisfy existing consumer demand--it also whetted an appetite for more abundant and cheaper energy, setting the nation on a path toward fossil fuel dependence. Between the War of 1812 and the Great Depression, low-cost energy supplied to cities through a burgeoning delivery system allowed factory workers to mass-produce goods on a scale previously unimagined. It also allowed people and products to be whisked up and down the East Coast at speeds unattainable in a country dependent on wood, water, and muscle. But an energy-intensive America did not benefit all its citizens equally. It provided cheap energy to some but not others; it channeled profits to financiers rather than laborers; and it concentrated environmental harms in rural areas rather than cities. Today, those who wish to pioneer a more sustainable and egalitarian energy order can learn valuable lessons from this history of the nation's first steps toward dependence on fossil fuels.
Routine Crisis: An Ethnography of Disillusion (Chicago Studies in Practices of Meaning)
by Sarah MuirArgentina, once heralded as the future of capitalist progress, has a long history of economic volatility. In 2001–2002, a financial crisis led to its worst economic collapse, precipitating a dramatic currency devaluation, the largest sovereign default in world history, and the flight of foreign capital. Protests and street blockades punctuated a moment of profound political uncertainty, epitomized by the rapid succession of five presidents in four months. Since then, Argentina has fought economic fires on every front, from inflation to the cost of utilities and depressed industrial output. When things clearly aren't working, when the constant churning of booms and busts makes life almost unlivable, how does our deeply compromised order come to seem so inescapable? How does critique come to seem so blunt, even as crisis after crisis appears on the horizon? What are the lived effects of that sense of inescapability? Anthropologist Sarah Muir offers a cogent meditation on the limits of critique at this historical moment, drawing on deep experience in Argentina but reflecting on a truly global condition. If we feel things are being upended in a manner that is ongoing, tumultuous, and harmful, what would we need to do—and what would we need to give up—to usher in a revitalized critique for today's world? Routine Crisis is an original provocation and a challenge to think beyond the limits of exhaustion and reimagine a form of criticism for the twenty-first century.

Routines and Orgies
by Christopher Risso-GillPeter Cundill (1938-2011) was highly regarded as one of the greatest value investors of his time, but he was also a teacher and mentor who was generous with his knowledge and shared the wealth of his experience with many aspiring investors. He was taken with Aldous Huxley's words that the "rhythm of human life is routine punctuated by orgies," and spent his life shaking off the quotidian tasks that dulled thought and striving for the excitement of new experiences. Supported by four decades of Cundill's meticulously kept daily journals, which are intimate, frank, self-admonishing, and confessional, Routines and Orgies covers all aspects of what Cundill referred to as his "wonderful life" - commercial, artistic, romantic, and adventurous. As he would have wished, the exposure of his investment approach has been carefully continued in this biography by close friend and confidant Christopher Risso-Gill, who initially explored Cundill's professional life in There's Always Something to Do. Routines and Orgies acquaints the reader with a generous and complex man. Spanning over seventy years, and covering most corners of the globe, it is a tale of hard-won professional development and extraordinary challenges faced and survived. Although not meant to be an investment manual, those seeking perspective from an expert mind in finance will find a great deal in its pages.
