Book Description
Globalism: The New Market Ideology rejects the notion that we find ourselves at the end of ideology and that democracy has won. Instead, Steger argues that the opening decade of the 21st century will constitute a teeming battlefield of clashing ideologies. The chief protagonist is the dominant neoliberal market ideology Steger calls globalism. After identifying and evaluating the five central claims of globalism--including assertions that globalization is inevitable, nobody is in charge of globalization, and globalization benefits everyone--Steger offers an overview of the counterclaims made by anti-globalist forces.

Book Description
In response to widespread interest in a formal complete statement analyzing aspects of the money-income relationship and clarification of his quantity theory, Milton Friedman in 1970 published "A Theoretical Framework for Monetary Analysis," and a year later "A Monetary Theory of Nominal Income," both in the Journal of Political Economy. A combined version of these essays, first published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, begins this volume.
Because his statement was important and controversial both as a commentary on the history of economic thought and as a theoretical contribution in its own right, the Journal of Political Economy in 1972 presented critical reviews from noted monetary theorists, including Karl Brunner and Allan H. Meltzer, James Tobin, Paul Davidson, and Don Patinkin. Their studies, which are printed in the present volume, focus on substantive issues, covering a variety of topics. All of their major points are discussed in Friedman's reply, which clarifies and expands upon his original themes and introduces interesting new material. Thus the synthesis of his two articles, the critical comments, and his response, together with an introduction by Robert J. Gordon, are combined in one volume for the convenience of scholars and students.

Friedman never grasped Knight's uncertainty -risk approach.......2004-11-23
Meltzer edited this collection of essays containing Friedman's most up to date exposition of his macro model and a series of comments from other macroeconomists such as James Tobin,Paul Davidson,Don Patinkin and Meltzer himself in the 1972-74 time period.The major problem in these essays is the failure of all the above mentioned economists(Davidson mentions the distinction frequently,but unfortunately adopted a misinterpretation of Keynes's approach to uncertainty based on the views of G L S Shackle,which are in fact a very special case of Keynes's own approach as originally specified in chapter 26 of Keynes's 1921 classic, A Treatise on Probability) to grasp the central theoretical role played in Keynes's General Theory of the clearcut distinction between risk and uncertainty.This is surprising since Friedman was certainly familiar with Knight's classic Risk,Uncertainty and Profit.Nevertheless,Friedman appears to have rejected the distinction maintained by both Knight and Keynes in favor of the subjectivist approach of Leonard J Savage,who,although discussing the problem of uncertainty(which Savage called vagueness),rejected any operational role for it in his theory of decision making under risk. The confusions of Friedman,Tobin, and Davidson all show up simultaneously in their attempted discussion of the technical details of Keynes's Theory of Effective Demand as modeled by Keynes in chapter 20 of the General Theory.Chapter 20,and the additional analysis contained in chapter 21 of the General Theory,contains the analytic core of Keynes's major innovation in the General Theory,his incorporation of expectations and uncertainty into the microfoundations of entreprenuerial decision making and the subsequent aggregation of this micro model into the macroscopic D-Z model,which Keynes had briefly introduced in a beginning chapter of the General Theory,titled"The Principle of Effective Demand".It is clear from a reading of pages 143-157 that Tobin,Friedman,and Davidson do not understand how to derive Keynes's original D-Z model.Simple integration of Keynes's derivatives ,either on pp.55-56,ft.2 or on pp.282-285 of the General Theory ,would reveal that D=pO and that Z=P+wN.Friedman fails to realize that the p in D=pO IS DEFINED BY KEYNES AS AN EXPECTED PRICE. Another error committed by Friedman is his failure to recognize that the mathematical expression p=[D/W.W]/O IS EQUAL TO EXPECTED MARGINAL COST.Practically all of Friedman's footnote 15 on pp.156-157 of this book is erroneous.None of these erroneous results were challenged by either Tobin or Davidson.Keynes's Z FUNCTION IS COMPLETELY ELIMINATED IN FRIEDMAN'S ANALYSIS.Despite the large number of errors,this reviewer recommends that this book be purchased.A study of these errors is very instructive.

"Consultancy," Martin Ashford proclaims in the opening to Con Tricks, "is big business." And thanks to the broad range of services now offered by industry leaders, notes Ashford, the former blue-chip consultant turned Financial Times journalist, it affects business in bigger ways all the time. With an unrestrained skepticism that would be suspect if not for his background--comparing practitioners to prostitutes and the practice to "a gigantic confidence trick," for example, would not ring as true if done by an outsider--Ashford explains the best ways to find and work with so-called cons. After discussing the misguided rationales offered by managers who misunderstand their purpose ("we don't have a clue what to do"; "the Board can't agree"), he points out reasons that indicate the use of such external assistance may indeed be prudent (a need for additional resources, specific expertise, or help in "clearing internal obstacles and resistance" among them). Ashford then offers detailed advice on recognizing the types available, choosing one that fits comfortably with your organization, budgeting for what you need, structuring the relationship, deciphering consultancy-speak (through an alphabetized glossary covering assets to zero-based budgets), comprehending reports and presentations, and ensuring delivery of real results. --Howard Rothman

For Cons & Clients.......2003-10-21
An insightful way to understand and gain more value from consultants from a client perspective, and a useful guide for consultants to understand how to improve the method of delivery.
A rather misleading sub-title aiming to be controversial when the content is actually informative and practical. The tone is sometimes too jocular for the content.
Defense Against Consulting Con Artists.......2000-09-09
This is one of the most unusual business books I have ever read. It simultaneously takes the view that management consultants are a necessary and helpful resource, and that they are also dangerous to the health of your business and career. Then, he seeks to innoculate you against every possible mistake that you may make which could turn management consulting into a danger (at at least a waste of time and money). All of that sounds very high minded, doesn't it? Yet he uses a language that has definite shock value (at least to these American ears). Management consultants are described as pros (as in prostitutes) and cons (as in con artists and seemingly, convicts). Yet the author's perspective includes having been a management consultant for six years with a reputable firm.
To me, the most valuable part of this book was a survey taken with alumni of the London Business School to find out their views of and experiences with management consultants, both as consultants and as customers. Whether these experiences are the same as what happens in other countries or not, the results make for fascinating reading. Both the consultants and the clients are skeptical of each other. The consultants think the clients are hiring them for the wrong reasons and assignments. The clients think the consultants are uninformed and unoriginal. I certainly intend to reread these findings from time to time, to better understand what my own clients might be thinking. I hope these reminders will help encourage me to asks questions and speak in a way that will surface these concerns so that they can be addressed in a way that best serves the client's interests.
The basic point of the survey is that clients generally see management consultants as adding value. On the other hand, clients also see much room for improvement from their consultants. In particular, clients see the consultants as mainly looking out for themselves rather than for their clients. That reflects a traditional supplier-customer relationship rather than a professional-to-client relationship.
On the whole, this book adds value for clients and consultants. A consultant will do a better job for a client who follows the advice in this book. A client who follows this advice will be more pleased with the consulting results. Consultants and clients will both make more money. Clients will see their firms and careers do better.
The only place where I objected to the harsh tone of the book was in chapter 9 about becoming a consultant. There is a survey there to test your selfishness versus your selflessness (and interest in your clients) that encourages you to be selfish if you want to be a consultant. This is clearly an attempt at humor, but I think it will confuse and mislead some. The rest of the book is encouraging better practices, and this cuts against that purpose.
Here are some of Mr. Ashford's key principles for clients.
1. Define the business issue. What are you trying to change and what do you want to get as a result?
2. What help do you need from consultants that you cannot accomplish internally?
3. Write down down your answers to (1) and (2) so you can share them with the consultants, and keep your purpose foremost in your mind as you hire and work with the consultants.
4. Check for commitment in your organization.
5. Select the consulting firms that may be able to help you.
6. Prepare those firms to be able to create proposals for you.
7. Get proposals that you can evaluate compared to your purpose.
8. Select who you want to work with by checking out those who will actually do the work, relevant references, the capability of the firm for handling your problem, and the emotional chemistry.
9. Consider how you want the results implemented.
10. Confirm the plan for doing the project and implementing it.
11. Mobilize your own resources to help the project.
12. Make time to work on the project and stay in touch.
13. Review, challenge, and understand.
14. Insist the project get refocused whenever it drifts away from your purpose and plan.
15. Keep the consultants focused on the completion steps you need.
16. Have a formal post-project review with the consultants so you can both learn how it could have been done better. There may still be things that they can provide you that you don't realize.
My reaction to this list was that this was a big burden on the client. But I realized that clients of mine have used a similar approach when they needed a great answer from the consulting project, and they got it because of using this process. Obviously, if the project is more minor, you can spend less time on each element, but you will probably be rewarded if you avoid skipping steps. When time is precious, you will have to consider whether or not you have the time to devote to properly commissioning and supervising the project. Perhaps you don't have the time, and should not do the project.
If you would like to have a good laugh at the expense of consultants, this book will also provide you with a lot of fun. It has the wicked humor that is often found in British comedies.
After you have read the book, I also urge you to think about places where you are not going to be as successful as you might be without external help, whether from partners, allies, or consultants. Then think through this process to see whether consultants as a temporary resource are the right people to use or whether you need the more permanent access to a partner or ally.
In any case, good luck in getting better results.
All time favorite.......2000-05-28
As an old consultant myself, this book is revealing and foremost, extremely entertaining. Not only does the author capture the management consultancy business, but he also describes the management of the "victims" very entertaining. Unfortunately, what he describes is very common, not only on the part of the MC business, but also of its clients that in reality should know better.
When I'm bored (or expecting to be bored) or have to handle longer negotiations, this book always accompany me, its great fun at the hotel room, and every time I look into it, I seem to learn a trick or two that can be useful.
In short, whatever your persuassion, buy it and read it, if for nothing else, it is very well written.

Just what the title says.......2006-02-19
This book is exactly what I was hoping for. I have been working through Romanus Wolter's _Kick Start Your Dream Business_ with great success, but I needed some specific information about being an entrepreneur in Canada. This book is a great source for addresses and links for Canadian government offices and other Canadian resources. It also mentions other things unique to Canada that I found helpful like "Excise Tax", which will effect my particular business. The book also has good general information on starting and running a business. My only complaint about the book is that my husband noticed a few typos.
Book Description
Every day, 700,000 Americans working in Japanese companies confront the "rice-paper ceiling." International business consultant Rochelle Kopp exposes this invisible obstacle to advancement at Japanese corporations, how it operates, and what you can do to "break through" it to improve your workplace relationships and career prospects. Along the way she details case studies that reveal the profound differences between Japanese and American work styles and cultures. If you work for a Japanese company, or plan to, you need this book. "A revealing, readable account of American-Japanese interactions in the workplace."-Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School
Rochelle Kopp is a Yale graduate with an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago. She is Managing Principal of Japan Intercultural Consulting in Chicago.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent for individuals that work for a Japanese company.......2005-08-19
I currently work for a large Japanese and have identified many of the issues that were written in this book. Recognizing many of the issues that Americans have working for Japanese corporations is one thing, but understanding the many drivers is another. The book was 'right on' on so many issues is was scary. This truly is a must read for anyone that works for a Japanese company or wants to work for a Japanese company. Although at times it can be a bit redundant, the book was a easy read and very well written.
For American employees of Japanese corporations.......2001-02-08
In The Rice-Paper Ceiling: Breaking Through Japanese Corporate Culture, Rochelle Kopp notes that although more than 700,000 Americans are currently employed by Japanese companies, very few Americans are in top-level management positions with those firms. The explanation lies in the real but almost invisible barrier that prevents sufficient communication across the cultural divide. Due to differing attitudes toward work, goals, accountability, and a variety of other factors, American employees and Japanese bosses often have completely opposite assumptions about how things should get done. Japan's current economic slump (and the litigation pending against such companies as Mitsubishi) clearly show that Japanese managers are not infallible. Success comes from honest communication and mutual understanding of goals. Highly recommended reading for American employees of Japanese corporations, American governmental and economic policy makers, economists, as well as both Japanese and American corporate executives, The Rice-Paper Ceiling provides numerous practical and forward-thinking strategies for getting beyond the culturally induced conflicts as Rochelle Kopp provides a very highly recommended, insider's guide to what really goes on inside the Japanese corporate system.
An excellent introduction to Japanese corporate culture!.......1999-06-25
This well-written and thought-provoking book outlines some key differences between American and Japanese corporate culture--with a sense of perspective and a touch of humor. I highly recommend it to Americans working with Japanese firms...and it may be of interest to Japanese businesspeople wondering how younger Americans view their professional ethos.

The Only Shopping Book You Need.......2006-02-17
I read this book about 4 years ago; what a read! I remember that my grandfather used to tell me some of the things James mentions (bargining techniques, etc) and not fully 'buying into' what was being said. At the present time, I'm using James' tips on a continual basis in my daily shopping expeditions. Additionaly, being that I recently moved; the information within this book will help me get great deals on everything I will need to furnish my new living space.
Mr. Paris presents an easy-to-read book that shows anyone how to make the most of thier money. Keep in mind, this book was not created to 'be cheap for sport'; but to free-up money that can be used to glorify the Kingdom of God. James takes every major spending category and creates tips and techniques that will help you achieve your dreams on a limited budget.
Purchase this book and save today. Highly recommended!!

Good Coverage of Risk Based Test Planning and Management.......2004-05-27
This is a relevant text now. And even when e-business ceases to be a buzz word, this book will still have enough material, on the broader needs for risk-based testing in an organization, to remain relevant.
Each of the 20 chapters reads like an individual essay allowing you to dip in and out for reference purposes and, given that some of the sections have a lot of useful information buried in them, I suspect that you will want to do this.
The approach to risk based testing presented in chapters 2 and 4 is a useful one for helping the reader plan and approach test planning. From an identified risk, the tester builds a test objective. These are used as high-level test conditions which, hopefully, help determine if the risk has been mitigated or not. The later technique chapters provide examples of the risk->test objective translation and that is obviously a useful thinking technique.
Chapter 4 in particular 'Risk-Based Test Strategy' will be a popular reference source for many testing projects.
The web testing coverage is pragmatic, introduced in good order and provides a good overview of the technicalities of web testing. There is an interesting section in the Appendix which demonstrates how effective simple homegrown automation can be for web testing.
More important for this text though, than the drilling down to extreme testing of web technicalities, is the extended coverage of web testing over the life of the project and understanding how the traditional phases of the testing life cycle apply to e-business projects.
In summary then, a good book for management, and for testers that want to look beyond their collection of test scripts and concern themselves with the needs of the business.
Not just about Risk or E-Business.......2002-10-25
The title of this book need not deter you. Yes, it is aimed at both Test Managers (the risk elements) and at web testers (the E-Business content). However, if, like me, you fall into neither category, it is still a very worthwhile addition to your reading list and workplace library.
The authors use very practical examples from real life testing to illustrate points. A continuous analogy of an individual E-Business being like a shop, with potential walk-in customers, works very well. Some rather startling facts emerge too; the average visit to the Systeme Evolutif web-site (of which Paul Gerrard is the web-master) is less than two minutes. I am sure that is true of a lot of sites, including those that are payment-now, real business sites.
Everyone in testing seems to promote 'risk'. Here is a strategy for answering the inevitable questions on ready-for-live issues based on whether risks have been addressed. "When enough tests have been prepared, executed and passed to convince the risk-owners that the risk has been addressed, enough testing has been done".
I have dabbled in web testing, both formally and informally (the latter probably every time I use the internet). The techniques for addressing real and perceived E-Business risks have a large carry over into other (i.e. non E-Business) test forms. The sections on performance, usability and Large Scale Integration rung some bells with me, and the use of tools is both encouraged, and discouraged. Strange as it may seem, the way of doing this did not seem to be contradictory. The sections on why the concept of E-Business is different only seeks to place MORE emphasis on why a coherent risk strategy is necessary. With web applications, not only is the time-to-market critical, but the price of failure can be so much more disastrous.
Use of American spelling and currency (everything is quoted in dollars) jars for the British reader, and look out for the words "we", "us", and "our". These are sometimes used a little ambiguously. (Ask who "us" refers to). However, expect to be challenged, and encouraged on to the land of better testing. There is a wealth of source material provided, especially on tools, and toll providers. There are lots of web-based references; additionally, a significant number of articles and books referenced are from 2001 or 2002.
The preface gives one of the reasons for the book being the ordering of the vast quantities of information that there is around. What was set out as an aim has been achieved, and both Paul and Neil have brought their experience, knowledge and communications skills to benefit us all. One of the dedications says: "To all those testers who do the best they can, but always think they should do more". I for one appreciate that the book was written for me. Thanks.
Invaluable source of knowledge - excellent approach.......2002-10-02
Although the focus is on e_business testing this book has changed my views about the realities of risk-based testing for any environment. First, the authors give a dose of reality regarding the differences between 'best practices' provided in the testing body of knowledge that is growing into hundreds of books (less than two years ago there were only a few dozen books on software testing, so this is a positive trend for the profession as a whole). Second, the fallacies in conventional risk-based testing are exposed. Here the authors propose that testing be exclusively focused on product risk, instead of trying to encompass the wider scope that includes project and process risk. This, in my opinion, is sage advice and keeps testing focused on areas where it can contribute to a project's success.
Among the strong points of this book are it's clear writing, which is full of examples, and the logical sequence in which the material is presented. In addition, the clear definitions of general risk management and associated processes and procedures, and how it all ties together are among the most succinct I've read. However, the best aspect of this book is the way the chapters build upon each other, and the complete coverage of risk-based testing.
Specifics include a general chapters on risk-based e-business testing and types of web site failures that lay the foundation for the technical aspects of the book. These are followed by chapters that show how to develop an e-business test strategy, how to fit risk analysis to a test process, and a comprehensive treatment of test techniques and tools. The latter is especially valuable because it covers the full range of testing techniques that are tailored to e-business testing, which includes static, web page integration, functional, service and usability testing. This part of the book also includes security testing and large scale integration testing - both of which make this one of the most complete collections of test techniques for e-business as well as general testing.
The remainder of the book covers the context of e-business testing (including brief advice on how it fits within Extreme Programming and the Unified Process), E-business test organization, planning and specifications (a wealth of information for the test manager), and E-business test execution (which also addresses important topics such as incident management and testing in a live environment). The two appendices, Essential Web Technologies for Testers and Web Testing Using Home Brew Tools are also valuable.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is involved in E-business testing, and also recommend that it be used in conjunction with Systematic Software Testing by Rick D. Craig by Stefan P. Jaskiel (ISBN 1580535089), which nicely augments this book.
