Manhood on the Line: Working-Class Masculinities in the American Heartland (The Working Class in American History)
by Stephen MeyerStephen Meyer charts the complex vagaries of men reinventing manhood in twentieth century America. Their ideas of masculinity destroyed by principles of mass production, workers created a white-dominated culture that defended its turf against other racial groups and revived a crude, hypersexualized treatment of women that went far beyond the shop floor. At the same time, they recast unionization battles as manly struggles against a system killing their very selves. Drawing on a wealth of archival material, Meyer recreates a social milieu in stunning detail--the mean labor and stolen pleasures, the battles on the street and in the soul, and a masculinity that expressed itself in violence and sexism but also as a wellspring of the fortitude necessary to maintain one's dignity while doing hard work in hard world.
Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar
by Steve Murphy Javier PeñaFor the first time, legendary DEA operatives Steve Murphy and Javier F. Peña tell the true story of how they helped put an end to one of the world’s most infamous narco-terrorists in Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar—the subject of the hit Netflix series, Narcos.Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar’s brutal Medellín Cartel was responsible for trafficking tons of cocaine to North America and Europe in the 1980s and ’90s. The nation became a warzone as his sicarios mercilessly murdered thousands of people—competitors, police, and civilians—to ensure he remained Colombia’s reigning kingpin. With billions in personal income, Pablo Escobar bought off politicians and lawmen, and became a hero to poorer communities by building houses and sports centers. He was nearly untouchable despite the efforts of the Colombian National Police to bring him to justice.But Escobar was also one of America’s most wanted, and the Drug Enforcement Administration was determined to see him pay for his crimes. Agents Steve Murphy and Javier F. Peña were assigned to the Bloque de Búsqueda, the joint Colombian-U.S. taskforce created to end Escobar’s reign of terror. For eighteen months, between July 1992 and December 1993, Steve and Javier lived and worked beside Colombian authorities, finding themselves in the crosshairs of sicarios targeting them for the $300,000 bounty Escobar placed on each of their heads.Undeterred, they risked the dangers, relentlessly and ruthlessly separating the drug lord from his resources and allies, and tearing apart his empire, leaving him underground and on the run from enemies on both sides of the law.Manhunters presents Steve and Javier’s history in law enforcement from their rigorous physical training and their early DEA assignments in Miami and Austin to the Escobar mission in Medellin, Colombia—living far from home and serving as frontline soldiers in the never ending war on drugs that continues to devastate America.

Manias, Panics and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises
by Nicholas PierpanPerhaps the most peculiar feature of a financial bubble – one that Charles Kindleberger's classic work Manias, Panics and Crashes draws particular attention to – is the inability of those trapped inside it to grasp the seriousness of their predicament. They know in principle that bubbles exist, and they know that the financial crashes that result from them are capable of destroying individuals' wealth and entire economies. Yet whenever and wherever a bubble begins to form, we're told that this time things are different, that there are sound reasons to continue to invest and to presume that prices will continue to rise steadily forever. Kindleberger's achievement is to use the critical thinking skill of evaluation to examine this strange mindset and the arguments advanced in support of it. He harshly judges the acceptability of the reasons used to create such arguments, and highlights the issues of relevance and adequacy that give us every reason to doubt them. Kindleberger also uses his powers of reasoning to effect an unusual achievement – writing a work soundly rooted in economics that nonetheless engages and convinces a non-specialist audience of the correctness of his arguments.
Manias, Panics, And Crashes: A History Of Financial Crises
by Robert Z. Aliber Charles P. KindlebergerThis seventh edition of an investment classic has been thoroughly revised and expanded following the latest crises to hit international markets. Renowned economist Robert Z. Aliber introduces the concept that global financial crises in recent years are not independent events, but symptomatic of an inherent instability in the international system.
Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises
by Robert Z. Aliber Charles P. Kindleberger Robert N. McCauleyIn the Eighth Edition of this classic text on the financial history of bubbles and crashes, Robert McCauley joins with Robert Aliber in building on Charles Kindleberger's renowned work. McCauley draws on his central banking experience to introduce new chapters on cryptocurrency and the United States as the 21st Century global lender of last resort. He also updates the book's coverage of the recent property bubble in China, as well as providing new perspectives on the US housing bubble of 2003-2006, and the Japanese bubble of the late 1980s. And he gives new attention to the social psychology that leads people to take the risk of investing in Ponzi schemes and asset price bubbles. For the first time in this revised and updated edition, figures highlight key points to ensure that today’s generation of finance and economic researchers, students, practitioners and policy-makers—as well as investors looking to avoid crashes—have access to this panoramic history of financial crisis.

Manifesto for a Moral Revolution: Practices to Build a Better World
by Jacqueline NovogratzAn essential shortlist of leadership ideas for everyone who wants to do good in this world, from Jacqueline Novogratz, author of the New York Times bestseller The Blue Sweater and founder and CEO of Acumen. <p><p> In 2001, when Jacqueline Novogratz founded Acumen, a global community of socially and environmentally responsible partners dedicated to changing the way the world tackles poverty, few had heard of impact investing—Acumen’s practice of “doing well by doing good.” Nineteen years later, there’s been a seismic shift in how corporate boards and other stakeholders evaluate businesses: impact investment is not only morally defensible but now also economically advantageous, even necessary. <p> Still, it isn’t easy to reach a success that includes profits as well as mutually favorable relationships with workers and the communities in which they live. So how can today’s leaders, who often kick off their enterprises with high hopes and short timetables, navigate the challenges of poverty and war, of egos and impatience, which have stymied generations of investors who came before? <p> Drawing on inspiring stories from change-makers around the world and on memories of her own most difficult experiences, Jacqueline divulges the most common leadership mistakes and the mind-sets needed to rise above them. The culmination of thirty years of work developing sustainable solutions for the problems of the poor, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution offers the perspectives necessary for all those—whether ascending the corporate ladder or bringing solar light to rural villages—who seek to leave this world better off than they found it.
Manifesto of Common Sense
by Bruce C. RosettoA corporate lawyer&’s manifesto on maintaining America&’s economic superpower status and protecting our country&’s future. Most Americans want the same things. We may differ in our outlook on how to best achieve the things we want for our families, our community, our nation, and ourselves . . . but at our core, the majority of Americans agree with the goals of our nation. Are the glory days of America behind us? It is not too late to change this growing perception, but that change requires the resolve of the American people. We are at war, not only against radical Islam and the forces of terrorism, but, more importantly, we are in an economic war that reflects directly on the ability of the United States to maintain its economic superpower status in the world. If we lose our position as the world&’s leading economic superpower, life in America will change in ways we cannot even begin to imagine.
Manifesto of the New Economy: Institutions and Business Models of the Digital Society
by Alexander DolginThe book describes the main directions for the development of the digital society. The author angles its book to those who are interested to know what would replace search engines, and how social networks would evolve; what profit can be made of different forms of informational collaboration (crowdsourcing, collaborative filtering). And, the main thing, how it will influence the structure of the society and human pursuit for happiness. The author does not confine himself to a theory, he sets and solves practical questions: How talent, success and "stardom" are interconnected, how to make money in social networks, what is the business model for the development of entertainment and media, how to measure cultural values, and what is the subjective time of the individual and how to make it qualitative? There have been no answers to these questions before. Internet and social networks have provided tools and data that Alexander Dolgin was the first to use in economics.

Manifiesto capitalista
by Robert T. KiyosakiLUCHEMOS CONTRA EL COMUNISMO QUE SE IMPARTE EN NUESTRAS ESCUELAS ENSEÑANDO CAPITALISMO... EN NUESTROS HOGARES “Mi objetivo al escribir Padre Rico y Padre Pobre, así como los otros libros de la serie Padre Rico, fue responder a la pregunta: ¿Qué nos enseñaron en la escuela respecto al dinero? Sabemos la respuesta: no mucho.En su mayoría, las enseñanzas que nos imparten son obsoletas y no funcionan. Nos enseñaron, por ejemplo, a “ahorrar dinero”. Pero ¿para qué ahorrar dinero si los gobiernos están imprimiendo millones de dólares falsos?” “Tras graduarme de la escuela militar volé para los marines de Estados Unidos en laguerra de Vietnam. He luchado contra el comunismo la mayor parte de mi vida. Como Nikita Jrushchov nos advirtió, ahora vemos que en nuestras escuelas se imparten los principios del Manifiesto comunista de Karl Marx. El problema es que, como muchos maestros son como mi padre pobre y carecen de educación financiera, no se dan cuenta de que están enseñando ideas marxistas.” “En 1997 escribí Padre Rico, Padre Pobre. Ahora, escribo Manifiesto capitalista para que luchemos contra los ideales comunistas que se imparten en nuestras escuelas, por medio de la enseñanza del capitalismo... en nuestros hogares.”- Robert T. Kiyosaki

Manipulados: A verdade sobre a batalha do Facebook pelo poder absoluto
by Sheera Frenkel Cecilia KangO livro que o Facebook não quer que leia. Sheera Frenkel e Cecilia Kang, premiadas jornalistas do New York Times, oferecem-nos um relato impressionante da queda em desgraça do gigante de Sillicon Valley. A verdade é muito mais complexa do que aparenta. Este livro é prova disso. BESTSELLER DO NEW YORK TIMES LIVRO DO ANO PARA A TIMES, COSMOPOLITAN, FORTUNE, FOREIGN AFFAIRS, WIRED «Explosivo.» Today Desde o escândalo que envolveu a Cambridge Analytica e a campanha de desinformação russa, que o Facebook tenta desviar atenções e esquivar-se a uma avalanche de controvérsias e inquéritos sobre a sua estratégia empresarial. Este gigante tecnológico, que se arroga a criação de um mundo hiperconectado onde todos usufruem de igual direito a expressar-se livremente, é, na verdade, uma voraz máquina de recolha de dados. Ao mesmo tempo, serve, sem escrúpulos, de plataforma a uma epidemia de desinformação tóxica e danosa cujas consequências estão à vista de todos. Muitos consideram que, nos últimos anos, o Facebook perdeu o rumo, que se desviou do seu intento original, o de aproximar pessoas. No entanto, esta minuciosa investigação das premiadas Sheera Frenkel e Cecilia Kang demonstra precisamente o contrário: os passos em falso dos últimos anos não são uma anomalia, antes consequências inevitáveis da arquitetura de um modelo de negócio impiedoso onde imperam as lutas de poder, enorme secretismo e operações ocultas. Sob a liderança de ferro do génio tecnológico de Mark Zuckerberg e do arquétipo da mulher-de-negócios-inspiradora Sheryl Sandberg, o crescimento ilimitado e o lucro desmedido têm sido as únicas constantes na evolução deste colosso. Esta não é a história de um cientista que perdeu o controlo sobre a sua criação. É a história real de duas pessoas que deliberadamente entregaram o seu império para servir de palco a criminosos e regimes políticos corruptos, com consequências devastadoras para todo o mundo. «Ler Manipulados dá-nos a mesma satisfação que contratar um detetive privado para investigar o cônjuge adúltero: confirma as nossas piores suspeitas.» New York Times Book Review «Fascinante. Os pormenores que dá a conhecer serão importantes no balanço em curso sobre o impacto das redes sociais na sociedade e na democracia.» Washington Post «Tanta informação nova neste livro sobre uma história que julgávamos compreender na totalidade. Afinal, parece que sabíamos muito pouco» Morning Joe «Fascinante.» People «Um registo precioso de tudo aquilo que correu mal, quando, onde e porquê, em especial nos últimos cinco anos.» CNN «Explosivo. Regista denúncias importantes sobre a vasta influência e erros reincidentes da empresa.» Today «Frenkel e Kang argumentam de forma inequívoca a necessidade de agirmos no sentido de eliminar de imediato do Facebook as mentiras, o ódio e a desinformação, se queremos preservar a democracia.» Associated Press «A verdade nua e crua, horrível, e feia, Manipulados, sobre o Facebook e Mark Zuckerberg, das jornalistas do New York Times, Sheera Frenkel e Cecilia Kank, é de arrepiar.» Luís Delgado, Visão «Não têm o Facebook instalado para proteger fontes e escreveram o bestseller que revela como Zuckerberg tomou decisões polémicas. Sheera Frenkel e Cecilia Kang querem que se saiba a "feia verdade".» Manuel Pestana Machado, Observador
Manipulating Globalization: The Influence of Bureaucrats on Business in China (Studies of the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center)
by Ling ChenThe era of globalization saw China emerge as the world's manufacturing titan. However, the "made in China" model—with its reliance on cheap labor and thin profits—has begun to wane. Beginning in the 2000s, the Chinese state shifted from attracting foreign investment to promoting the technological competitiveness of domestic firms. This shift caused tensions between winners and losers, leading local bureaucrats to compete for resources in government budget, funding, and tax breaks. While bureaucrats successfully built coalitions to motivate businesses to upgrade in some cities, in others, vested interests within the government deprived businesses of developmental resources and left them in a desperate race to the bottom. In Manipulating Globalization, Ling Chen argues that the roots of coalitional variation lie in the type of foreign firms with which local governments forged alliances. Cities that initially attracted large global firms with a significant share of exports were more likely to experience manipulation from vested interests down the road compared to those that attracted smaller foreign firms. The book develops the argument with in-depth interviews and tests it with quantitative data across hundreds of Chinese cities and thousands of firms. Chen advances a new theory of economic policies in authoritarian regimes and informs debates about the nature of Chinese capitalism. Her findings shed light on state-led development and coalition formation in other emerging economies that comprise the new "globalized" generation.
Manipulating the Message: How Powerful Forces Shape the News
by Cecil RosnerJournalists hate the term fake news, but there’s a troubling reality: spin doctors routinely try to dupe them into reporting misleading and distorted stories.Check the news on any given day and here’s what you’ll find: Governments routinely lie. Companies inflate claims about their products and practices. Institutions release studies with misleading data meant to deceive. Police departments, infected by systemic racism, downplay crimes against Indigenous and racialized people.The public depends on the media to help them understand the world, but are journalists catching all the daily lies, omissions, and distortions? Shrinking newsrooms and an army of spin doctors mean journalists can get duped. Despite valiant efforts by a handful of investigative journalists, the truth is routinely left behind.Award-winning journalist Cecil Rosner insists there is something we can do about this. We can pressure news organizations to stop blindly regurgitating the firehose of press releases and focus instead on determining what is actually true. Rosner empowers readers by sharing his techniques for detecting misinformation and disinformation.
