'A groundbreaking work . . . Federici has become a crucial figure for . . . a new generation of feminists' Rachel Kushner, author of The Mars RoomA cult classic since its publication in the early years of this century, Caliban and the Witch is Silvia Federici's history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages through the European witch-hunts, the rise of scientific rationalism and the colonisation of the Americas, it gives a panoramic account of the often horrific violence with which the unruly human material of pre-capitalist societies was transformed into a set of predictable and controllable mechanisms. It Is a study of indigenous traditions crushed, of the enclosure of women's reproductive powers within the nuclear family, and of how our modern world was forged in blood.'Rewarding . . . allows us to better understand the intimate relationship between modern patriarchy, the rise of the nation state and the transition from feudalism to capitalism' Guardian

Die Deutschen und die Hanse - eine eigenartige Liebesgeschichte In einer globalisierten Welt verkörpert die Hanse das Ideal vom verantwortlich handelnden Unternehmer nicht weniger als die Sehnsucht nach einer starken europäischen Wirtschaftsmacht.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFor the first time ever, an international coalition of leading researchers, scientists and policymakers has come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. All of the techniques described here - some well-known, some you may have never heard of - are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are already enacting them. From revolutionizing how we produce and consume food to educating girls in lower-income countries, these are all solutions which, if deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, could not just slow the earth's warming, but reach drawdown: the point when greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere peak and begin todecline. So what are we waiting for?

'A hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases.'

#1 bestselling author and acclaimed venture capitalist John Doerr reveals a sweeping action plan to conquer humanity's greatest challenge: climate change.In 2006, John Doerr was moved by Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and a challenge from his teenage daughter: "e;Dad, your generation created this problem. You better fix it."e; Since then, Doerr has searched for solutions to this existential problem-as an investor, an advocate and a philanthropist. Fifteen years later, despite breakthroughs in batteries, electric vehicles, plant-based proteins and solar and wind power, global warming continues to get worse. Its impact is all around us: droughts, floods, wildfires, the melting of the polar ice caps. Our world is squarely in a climate crisis and on the brink of a climate disaster. Yet despite our state of emergency, climate change has yet to be tackled with the urgency and ambition it demands. More than ever, we need a clear course of action. Fueled by a powerful tool called Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), SPEED & SCALE offers an unprecedented global plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions before it's too late. Used by Google, Bono's ONE foundation and thousands of startups the world over, OKRs have scaled ideas into achievements that changed the world. With clear-eyed realism and an engineer's precision, Doerr identifies the measurable OKRs we need to reduce emissions across the board and to arrive by 2050 at net zero-the point where we are no longer adding to the heat-trapping carbon in the atmosphere.By turns pragmatic and inspiring, SPEED & SCALE intersperses Doerr's wide-ranging analysis with firsthand accounts from Jeff Bezos, Christiana Figueres, Al Gore, Mary Barra, Bill Gates, and other intrepid policy leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists and activists. This book is a launchpad for leaders of all kind, for anyone anywhere who can move others to act with them. With a definitive action plan, the latest science and a rising climate movement on our side, we can still reach net zero before it is too late. But as Doerr reminds us, there is no more time to waste.________________ 'A critical blueprint for anyone looking to take concrete steps to reach net-zero emissions.' Al Gore, former U.S. Vice President'A practical guide for both public and private sector participation in decarbonizing the global economy, a task as challenging as it is urgent.' Christiana Figueres, former executive secretary of the UN Climate Change Convention'A comprehensive plan to tackle one of the most vexing challenges in human history.'

Unlock the power of shareholder capitalism -- a system that transcends zero-sum games and Wall Street stereotypes. In its essence, shareholder capitalism enables mutually beneficial trade, a concept ingrained in our human history for over 300,000 years. This approach fosters specialization, fuels innovation, and propels economic growth. In this engaging new book, David McLean explains how embracing shareholder capitalism doesn't negate the significance of other institutions; rather, it allows businesses to excel in providing the goods, services, and jobs that make society better off. Shareholder capitalism isn't about disregarding stakeholders; it thrives on mutually beneficial partnerships, and managers are entrusted to maximize shareholder value, focusing on companies' long-term success, which drives overall prosperity. Profits, the ultimate measure of value, steer businesses toward creating goods and services that benefit society. While shareholder capitalism is the overarching theme in Finance 101 courses, it is increasingly criticized, especially with the popularization of concepts like ESG investing and stakeholder capitalism. McLean argues that corporate social responsibility, while well-intentioned, shouldn't replace the democratic process in policymaking, and can lead to unintended consequences. Our journey through capitalism, beginning around 1800, has brought unprecedented prosperity, and it's essential to safeguard this system for the betterment of society, with democracy and free trade as our guiding beacons.

Investering har ingen alder, og det er aldrig for sent eller for tidligt at komme i gang. Er du begynder i investeringsverdenen, kan det imidlertid være svært at navigere rundt i en verden, som aldrig sover, hvor tal og grafer altid er i bevægelse, og hvor nye termer og fremmede begreber jævnligt dukker op. Det er en verden, hvor du let kan tabe overblikket i mængden af information, og hvor de muligheder og risici, der løbende opstår, nemt bliver overset. Bogen beskæftiger sig udelukkende med langsigtet investering i aktier, obligationer og investeringsbeviser for frie midler på det regulerede marked i Danmark. Udgangspunktet for investering er at opnå økonomisk gevinst. Du får et overblik over og en overordnet forståelse for investeringsverdenen, så du føler dig tilstrækkeligt klædt på til at kunne gå i gang i det tempo, der passer dig, med en erkendelse af, hvilke midler du kan tåle at investere, hvilken risikoprofil du har, og hvor lang tidshorisont du investerer med. Forfatternes formål med bogen er, på baggrund af egne erfaringer, at åbne døren til investeringsverdenen, som på mange måder kan virke svært tilgængelig. Men de videregiver også nogle af de ”dos and don’ts”, der er forbundet med at investere som begynder. De ved, hvordan det føles at være begynder i investeringsverdenen. De ved, hvilke usikkerheder og udfordringer du står over for som ny investor, og de har en grundig indsigt i de forhold, du skal være opmærksom på, og de forbehold du skal have, når du vil begynde at investere. Bogen er således inspireret af deres egen rejse fra usikre til selvsikre investorer. De repræsenterer deres egen målgruppe, og har derfor skrevet den bog, de selv havde brug for, da de gik i gang med at investere. Bogen henvender sig til dig – mand og kvinde, ung og gammel – der gerne vil i gang med at investere men ikke ved, hvor du skal begynde. Den er skrevet ud fra en overbevisning om, at alle kan lære at investere deres penge. Investering behøver nemlig ikke være svært, og det behøver ikke være forbeholdt de få. Du skal blot starte med at investere din tid og sætte dig grundigt ind i markedet. Forord af Tom Hougaard, Investor/daytrader og kommentator i Millionærklubben på Radio24syv.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls antifragile are things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish.In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. Here Taleb stands uncer tainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resil ient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better.What's more, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call "e;efficient"e; not efficient at all? Why do government responses and social policies protect the strong and hurt the weak? Why should you write your resignation letter before starting on the job? How did the sinking of the Titanic save lives? The book spans innovation by trial and error, life decisions, politics, urban planning, war, personal finance, economic systems and medicine, drawing on modern street wisdom and ancient sources.Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world.Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb's message is revolutionary: the antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it.Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to problems of uncertainty, probability, and knowledge and has led three careers around this focus, as a businessman-trader, a philosophical essayist, and an academic researcher. Although he now spends most of his time working in intense seclusion in his study, in the manner of independent scholars, he is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at New York University's Polytechnic Institute. His main subject matter is "e;decision making under opacity,"e; that is, a map and a protocol on how we should live in a world we don't understand.His books Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan have been published in thirty-three languages.Taleb believes that prizes, honorary degrees, awards, and ceremonialism debase knowledge by turning it into a spectator sport.

In Doughnut Economics, Oxford academic Kate Raworth identifies seven critical ways in which mainstream economics has led us astray, and sets out a roadmap for bringing humanity into a sweet spot that meets the needs of all within the means of the planet.

'One of the smartest books of all time' Fortune'The hottest thinker in the world' Sunday TimesEveryone wants to succeed in life. But what causes some of us to be more successful than others? Is it really down to skill and strategy - or something altogether more unpredictable?This book is the bestselling sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. It is all about luck: more precisely, how we perceive luck in our personal and professional experiences. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the markets - we hear an entrepreneur has 'vision' or a trader is 'talented', but all too often their performance is down to chance rather than skill. It is only because we fail to understand probability that we continue to believe events are non-random, finding reasons where none exist.'An iconoclastic tour de force ... nothing escapes his Exocets' Evening Standard 'Brilliant' John Kay 'Excellent and thought-provoking ... an entertaining book' Financial Times 'Wall Street's principal dissident' Malcolm Gladwell

'One of the great business books of all time' Punch'Wickedly funny' Daily Express'Hilarious' New York TimesThe original classic that revealed the truth about ambition, greed and excess in London and Wall Street, by Michael Lewis, the number 1 bestselling author of The Big Short and The Undoing Project.From mere trainee to lowly geek, to triumphal Big Swinging Dick: that was Michael Lewis' pell-mell progress through the dealing rooms of Salomon Brothers in New York and London during the heady mid-1980s when they were probably the world's most powerful and profitable merchant bank. Funny, frightening, breathless and heartless, Liar's Poker is the original story of hysterical greed and excessive ambition, one that is now more potent and enthralling than ever.

This is a detailed and data-based book showing you tried and tested methods that actually work to allow you to grow your investment portfolio, in good times and in bad. This book is not just about anecdotal ideas that occasionally work. The methods contained within this book have been tested over years of data and the results are shown. The book also contains the recipe for making that kind of data-based analysis yourself. No more costly guesswork...This is the last book on Technical Analysis you'll ever need."Michael has shown empirical proof of the value of patterns in the markets. Anyone who has ever used an Excel sheet will definitely love this book, as well as for other reasons. This book is easy to endorse, and we should thank him for bringing this research to our attention." - Larry Pesavento, Trade What You See, Tucson, Arizona"To really understand the financial markets, it is my view that Technical Analysis has to be included in the picture. It has always been an important tool for me." - Lars Tvede, Zug, Switzerland"Super exciting reading if you are interested in investing, both for the beginner as well as for the experienced investor. The scientific approach to the development of an investment system is very fascinating and you feel a commitment beyond the usual by the author. No doubt that when a system has to be calculated with all possible variables in order to see the consequences of them, we have here to do with something that is most thoroughly tested. This applies to both the testing of movements and the choice of the asset to be invested in. Furthermore, the author's review of his emotions in connection with his ongoing development with the investments in the market is very relevant as it is often the biggest enemy of the investor. Further, the adding on methodology described in chapter 7 alone pays for this book" - Peter Henriksen, Mijas-Costa, SpainThis book is not like any other books about Technical Analysis and about making money trading. Other books tend to feature more theories than data, are more anecdotal than fact-based and they often leave the readers with more questions than answers. In this book, several methods of trading are tested on real data over months and years, so you can really see what works and what doesn't work is not only performed on historical data. The methods are fully explained, and shown in detail. After reading this book, you will be able to test your own ideas.
