Hardball: Are You Playing to Play or Playing to Win

ASIN: 1591391679 |
Book Description
Classic Strategies for Unapologetic Winners“It” is a strategy so powerful and an execution-driven mind-set so relentless that companies use it to gain more than just competitive advantage ¿ they achieve an industry dominance that is virtually unassailable and that competitors often try to explain away as unfair. In their “hardball manifesto,” authors George Stalk and Rob Lachenauer of the leading strategy consulting firm The Boston Consulting Group show how hardball competitors can build or maintain an enviable competitive edge by pursuing one or more of the classic “hardball strategies”: unleash massive and overwhelming force, exploit anomalies, devastate profit sanctuaries, raise competitors’ costs, and break compromises.
Based on twenty-five years of experience advising and observing a range of companies, the authors argue that hardball competitors can gain extreme competitive advantage ¿ neutralizing, marginalizing, or even destroying competitors ¿ without violating their contracts with customers or employees, and without breaking the rules. A clear-eyed paean to the timeless strategies that have driven the world’s winning companies, Hardball Strategy redefines and reinterprets the meaning of competition for a new generation of business players.

Interest and Inflation Free Money: Creating an Exchange Medium That Works for Everybody and Protects the Earth

No more wars or privation. Everybody wins!.......2002-05-19
Interest is a huge wealth transfering machine, from the suffering to the already obscenely wealthy.
All of America is laboring under some terrible delusions today.
And a host of evils fall upon our heads. Desperate, driven, unhappy unhealthy populations suffer to pay back imaginary money. Families suffer, society becomes unsafer, children are unloved because they have parents who have no time for them. The next generation is being trained to endure hardship, and work longer and longer hours only to give away the fruits of their labor. Minds are wasted and the wondrous inventions that they might have come up with are lost... Knowledge of life-saving and health promoting methods are repressed. Our lives have been stolen from us, and the existence were are permitted is miserable. We are walking abortions. Permitted to have our bodies, but denied our lives.
This tiny little book shows the way out. The systems in this book stimulate an economy so well that even artists flourish, and it even tends to redistribute land: the only real wealth. Towns like Utica NY have tried it and it works beautifully, And the best of it is that "the Big boys" get to keep theirs, so the system is no threat to them. In fact, instead of having to worry about their holdings being eaten by inflation, they pay only a very small holding fee (say, 2%/yr.) to the banks if they don't want to participate. Much less worry for them, too, because even their fortunes suffer from being eaten by 4-6%/yr inflation.
It is all the more imperative that we take just a few minutes to read this simple little book now, because, over the next few years, 90% of the workforce will become unnecessary (see Jeremy Rifkin, "The End OF Work"). About 350 people own as much of the world as 40% of the rest of the world population. How long do you think they will need you?
Besides, for the believers in the Bible and the Torah among us, "Woe be to him who sells money at interest, for he sells what Does Not Exist". Do you really think that God just meant to not sell money to "foreigners"? That was when he was talking to a few tribes that he had chosen to build a better world for themselves. We are all one world family now. That means you, too, if you have an interest bearing bank account, pay a mortgage, are buying a car, or use credit cards.
And even if you think you pay interest only if you borrow money, think again! There are interest costs in everything you do including paying for your trash collection.
There is an easier and better way. Margrit Kennedy explains it much more succinctly than I can write this review...

The World in Eleven Dimensions: Supergravity, supermembranes and M-theory (Studies in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation)
M.J Duff Manufacturer: Taylor & Francis ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0750306726 |
Book Description
A unified theory embracing all physical phenomena is a major goal of theoretical physics. In the early 1980s, many physicists looked to eleven-dimensional supergravity in the hope that it might provide that elusive superunified theory. In 1984 supergravity was knocked off its pedestal by ten-dimensional superstrings, one-dimensional objects whose vibrational modes represent the elementary particles. Superstrings provided a perturbative finite theory of gravity which, after compactification to four spacetime dimensions, seemed in principle capable of explaining the Standard Model. Despite these major successes, however, nagging doubts persisted about superstrings. Then in 1987 and 1992 the elementary supermembrane and its dual partner, the solitonic superfivebrane, were discovered. These are supersymmetric extended objects with respectively two and five dimensions moving in an eleven-dimensional spacetime. Over the period since 1996, perturbative superstrings have been superseded by a new nonperturbative called M-theory, which describes supermembranes and superfivebranes, subsumes string theories, and has as its low-energy limit, eleven-dimensional supergravity. M-theory represents the most exciting development in the subject since 1984 when the superstring revolution first burst on the scene. The first book devoted to M-theory, The World in Eleven Dimensions: Supergravity, Supermembranes and M-Theory brings together seminal papers that have shaped our current understanding of this eleven-dimensional world, from supergravity through supermembranes to M-theory. Each chapter includes commentaries intended to explain the importance of these papers and to place them in a wider perspective. Each chapter also has an extensive bibliography. The book is of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in particle physics, mathematical physics, gravitation, and cosmology.
