Free Download The Price of Prosperity: Why Rich Nations Fail and How to Renew Them by Todd G. Buchholz, Brilliance Audio
English | June 07, 2016 | ISBN: B01FI5XYZY | 11 hours and 24 minutes | MP3 68 kbps | 327 Mb
In this bold history and manifesto, a former White House director of economic policy under President George H. W. Bush exposes the economic, political, and cultural cracks that wealthy nations face and makes the case for transforming those same vulnerabilities into sources of strength – and the foundation of a national renewal
America and other developed countries, including Germany, Japan, France, and Great Britain are in desperate straits. The loss of community, a contracting jobs market, immigration fears, rising globalization, and poisonous partisanship – the adverse price of unprecedented prosperity – are pushing these nations to the brink.
Acclaimed author, economist, hedge fund manager, and presidential advisor Todd G. Buchholz argues that without a sense of common purpose and shared identity, nations can collapse. The signs are everywhere: Reckless financial markets encourage people to gamble with other people’s money. A coddling educational culture removes the stigma of underachievement. Community traditions such as American Legion cookouts and patriotic parades are derided as corny or jingoistic. Newcomers are watched with suspicion and contempt.

Author: Corey Brettschneider
Narrator: Stephen Bel Davies
Imagine an American president who imprisoned critics, spread a culture of white supremacy, and tried to upend the law so that he could commit crimes with impunity. In this propulsive history, constitutional law and political science professor Corey Brettschneider provides a thoroughly researched account of assaults on democracy by not one such president, but five. John Adams waged war on the national press of the early republic. In the lead-up to the Civil War, James Buchanan colluded with the Supreme Court to deny constitutional personhood to African Americans. A decade later, Andrew Johnson urged violence against his political opponents after the Civil War.

Free Download The Power of Virtual Distance: A Guide to Productivity and Happiness in the Age of Remote Work by Karen Sobel Lojeski, Richard R. Reilly, Chloe Cannon
English | June 30, 2020 | ISBN: B08B71WDRW | 6 hours and 36 minutes | MP3 128 Kbps | 363 Mb
Virtual Distance – the measurable disconnect that arises when we rely on digitally mediated communication – applies to all of us. In the second edition of The Power of Virtual Distance, Karen Sobel Lojeski and Richard R. Reilly showcase 15 years of data to describe their powerful framework for predicting everything from trust, employee engagement, and job satisfaction to bottom-line results.
Technology is at the very core of everything we do, and it enables us to be more connected than ever before. But even though technology can collapse the physical distance between us, it can also spark an explosion of psychological and emotional distance. Every business leader needs to understand how these phenomena affect employees’ health and well-being – and, ultimately, business performance.
The Power of Virtual Distance, Second Edition represents a major new update to the authors’ original text on the concept of Virtual Distance. What was, at that time, a groundbreaking new theory, proved to be a prescient expression of what has become the mainstream understanding: the more connected we become, the more isolated we begin to feel. In this second edition, the authors present new data, case studies, and the exponentially growing body of evidence underscoring the business case and human necessity for accounting for Virtual Distance.

Conventional wisdom today says that to survive, companies must move beyond incremental, sustaining innovation and invest in some form of radical innovation. "Disrupt yourself or be disrupted!" is the relentless message company leaders hear. The Power of Little Ideas argues there’s a third way that is neither sustaining nor disruptive. This low-risk, high-reward strategy is an approach to innovation that all company leaders should understand so that they recognize it when their competitors practice it and apply it when it will give them a competitive advantage. This distinctive approach has three key elements
It consists of creating a family of complementary innovations around a product or service, all of which work together to make that product more appealing and competitive
The complementary innovations work together as a system to carry out a single strategy or purpose
