Written not from a post-crisis perspective - but from a preventative point of view - this book traces the development of financial derivatives from bonds to credit default swaps, and shows how mathematical formulas went beyond pricing to expand their use to the point where they dwarfed the real economy. You'll learn how the deadly allure of their ice-cold beauty has misled generations of economists and investors, and how continued reliance on these formulas can either assist future economic development, or send the global economy into the financial equivalent of a cardiac arrest.Rather than rehash tales of post-crisis fallout, this book focuses on preventing the next one. By exploring the heart of the shadow economy, you'll be better prepared to ride the rough waves of finance into the turbulent future.How do you create a quadrillion dollars out of nothing, blow it away, and leave a hole so large that even years of "quantitative easing" can't fill it - and then go back to doing the same thing? Even amidst global recovery, the financial system still has the potential to seize up at any moment. The Money Formula explores the how and why of financial disaster, what must happen to prevent the next one.Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Applied Economics by Thomas Sowell | Free Audiobook
Jan 2, 201807:47:00Tap to summarizeListen to full audiobooks for free on :https://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Applied EconomicsAuthor: Thomas SowellNarrator: Brian EmersonFormat: UnabridgedLength: 7 hrs and 47 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 01-02-18Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.Genres: Nonfiction, EconomicsSummary:This book is geared to the average citizen with little or no economics background who would like the tools to think critically about economic issues. Many of today's economic issues are obscured by their inherent complexity and the often confusing and conflicting views coming from political talking heads. Sowell, a leading conservative economist and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, seeks to alleviate this confusion. He begins by elucidating the differences between politicians, who are often compelled by political considerations to act for the short term, and economists, who are more concerned with long-term ramifications. Sowell then focuses on the application of economics to major contemporary real-world problems - housing, medical care, discrimination, and the economic development of nations.Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

The Innovation Illusion by Fredrik Erixon | Free Audiobook
Dec 20, 201711:41:00Tap to summarizeListen to full audiobooks for free on :https://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: The Innovation IllusionAuthor: Fredrik Erixon, Bjorn WeigelNarrator: Adam VernerFormat: UnabridgedLength: 11 hrs and 41 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 12-20-17Publisher: Vibrance PressGenres: Nonfiction, EconomicsSummary:Timely, compelling, and certain to be controversial - a deeply researched study that reveals how companies and policymakers are hindering innovation-led growthConventional wisdom holds that Western economies are on the threshold of fast-and-furious technological development. Fredrik Erixon and Bjorn Weigel refute this idea, bringing together a vast array of data and case studies to tell a very different story.With expertise spanning academia and the business world, Erixon and Weigel illustrate how innovation is being hampered by existing government regulations and corporate practices. Capitalism, they argue, has lost its mojo. Assessing the experiences of global companies, including Nokia, Uber, IBM, and Apple, the authors explore three key themes: declining economic dynamism in Western economies; growing corporate reluctance to contest markets and innovate; and excessive regulation limiting the diffusion of innovation. At a time of low growth, high unemployment, and increasing income inequality, innovation-led growth is more necessary than ever. This book unequivocally details the obstacles hindering our future prosperity.Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Capitalism Without Capital by Jonathan Haskel | Free Audiobook
Dec 15, 201708:56:00Tap to summarizeListen to full audiobooks for free on :https://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Capitalism Without CapitalAuthor: Jonathan Haskel, Stian WestlakeNarrator: Derek PerkinsFormat: UnabridgedLength: 8 hrs and 56 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 12-15-17Publisher: Recorded BooksGenres: Nonfiction, EconomicsSummary:The first comprehensive account of the growing dominance of the intangible economyEarly in the 21st century, a quiet revolution occurred. For the first time, the major developed economies began to invest more in intangible assets, like design, branding, R&D, or software, than in tangible assets, like machinery, buildings, and computers. For all sorts of businesses, from tech firms and pharma companies to coffee shops and gyms, the ability to deploy assets that one can neither see nor touch is increasingly the main source of long-term success.But this is not just a familiar story of the so-called new economy. Capitalism without Capital shows that the growing importance of intangible assets has also played a role in some of the big economic changes of the last decade. The rise of intangible investment is, Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake argue, an underappreciated cause of phenomena from economic inequality to stagnating productivity. Haskel and Westlake bring together a decade of research on how to measure intangible investment and its impact on national accounts, showing the amount different countries invest in intangibles, how this has changed over time, and the latest thinking on how to assess this. They explore the unusual economic characteristics of intangible investment and discuss how these features make an intangible-rich economy fundamentally different from one based on tangibles.Capitalism without Capital concludes by presenting three possible scenarios for what the future of an intangible world might be like and by outlining how managers, investors, and policymakers can exploit the characteristics of an intangible age to grow their businesses, portfolios, and economies.Author bio: Jonathan Haskel is professor of economics at Imperial College London. Stian Westlake is a senior fellow at Nesta, the UK's national foundation for innovation.Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

How to Kill a City by Peter Moskowitz | Free Audiobook
Dec 5, 201709:22:00Tap to summarizeListen to full audiobooks for free on :https://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: How to Kill a CityAuthor: Peter MoskowitzNarrator: Kevin T. CollinsFormat: UnabridgedLength: 9 hrs and 22 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 12-05-17Publisher: Tantor AudioGenres: Nonfiction, EconomicsSummary:The term gentrification has become a buzzword to describe the changes in urban neighborhoods across the country, but we don't realize just how threatening it is. It means more than the arrival of trendy shops, much-maligned hipsters, and expensive lattes. The very future of American cities as vibrant, equitable spaces hangs in the balance.Peter Moskowitz's How to Kill a City takes listeners from the kitchen tables of hurting families who can no longer afford their homes to the corporate boardrooms and political backrooms where destructive housing policies are devised. Along the way, Moskowitz uncovers the massive, systemic forces behind gentrification in New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, and New York. The deceptively simple question of who can and cannot afford to pay the rent goes to the heart of America's crises of race and inequality. In the fight for economic opportunity and racial justice, nothing could be more important than housing.A vigorous, hard-hitting expose, How to Kill a City reveals who holds power in our cities - and how we can get it back.Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Lentil Underground by Liz Carlisle | Free Audiobook
Nov 21, 201707:23:00Tap to summarizeListen to full audiobooks for free on :https://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Lentil UndergroundAuthor: Liz CarlisleNarrator: Tavia GilbertFormat: UnabridgedLength: 7 hrs and 23 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 11-21-17Publisher: Tantor AudioGenres: Nonfiction, EconomicsSummary:The story of the "Lentil Underground" begins on a 280-acre homestead rooted in America's Great Plains: the Oien family farm. Forty years ago, corporate agribusiness told small farmers like the Oiens to "get big or get out." But 27-year-old David Oien decided to take a stand, becoming the first in his conservative Montana county to plant a radically different crop: organic lentils.Unlike the chemically dependent grains American farmers had been told to grow, lentils make their own fertilizer and tolerate variable climate conditions, so their farmers aren't beholden to industrial methods. Today, Oien leads an underground network of organic farmers who work with heirloom seeds and biologically diverse farm systems. Under the brand Timeless Natural Food, their unique business-cum-movement has grown into a million dollar enterprise that sells to Whole Foods, hundreds of independent natural foods stores, and a host of renowned restaurants.From the heart of Big Sky Country comes this inspiring story of a handful of colorful pioneers who have successfully bucked the chemically based food chain and the entrenched power of agribusiness's one percent. Journalist Liz Carlisle weaves an eye-opening and richly reported narrative that will be welcomed by everyone concerned with the future of American agriculture.Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com
