The Cost of Obtaining Money and on Some Effects of Private and Government Paper Money
Nassau William Senior Manufacturer: University Press of the Pacific ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1410201910 |
Book Description
Nassau William Senior (1790-1864) - economist, critical essayist and government adviser - was a highly original classical economist in the era between Ricardo's Principles of 1817 and Mill's Principles of 1848. He was the first Professor of Political Economy at Oxford, and in his published works he made original contributions to the theory of value, rent, population, money, and international trade. Senior was an active proponent of laissez-faire. Although Senior did not achieve the originality and influence of the leading economists of the classical school - Smith, Ricardo, and Malthus - he did make an enduring contribution on the development of economics. John Stuart Mill took much effort to respond to Senior.

Buy It, You Won't Regret It!.......2003-08-06
Good material for building a job search campaign.......2000-08-02
Wayne D. Ford, Ph.D., author of "The Accelerated Job Search" docwifford@msn.com
Do you have the guts to change?.......2000-06-01
I sat them next to my couch, got a glass of iced tea and went to work perusing the pages. Right away it was evident that, for the most part, the only thing different about these how to tomes was their cover. Inside was the same tired advice and the same over used examples of resumes and cover letters.
Guess what? As an employee candidate your job is to stand out from the crowd, not blend in with it.
I had just about given up on my reading (and was getting more depressed by the minute) when I came across "Who's Hiring Who?" I could tell right away that it was different, the question was, would I have the guts to run free, as the book encouraged, or would I continue to run with the herd?
When I read "Who's Hiring Who" I was three months into a job search. After this much time spent looking for work (and I was at it 12 hours a day!) I told myself that my resume, which took form based upon a lot of the ancient advice in the mainstream resume books, wasn't working and I wasn't going to lose anything by trying the advice in "Who's Hiring Who?"
It took me a week to read the book, really think about the suggestions it made, and then distill it's principles into my new QUALIFICAITONS BRIEF. No more resumes! Other no mores? No more worrying about a spotty work history. No more worrying about an incomplete (that means little or no college) education. The book tells you the best ways to accentuate the positive and marginalize the negative.
Within two weeks I had several job offers on the table. Within a month I had done more than get a job, I had successfully changed careers and was working for a hot software company with benefits out the wazoo and a pay rate higher than I'd hoped for!
(Since then I've read Tom Peter's book, "Circle of Innovation" (I think that was the book), which, when talking about resumes says who cares about education, companies want to know what you've done. What have your successes been? This is one thing "Who's Hiring Who?" focuses on.)
My advice to you? Buy the book, follow its advice and have the guts to change!
Not sure if this book is still useful in 2000........2000-04-12
The job search book that worked for me........1999-08-09
Now it is out--in a new edition--from Ten Speed Press. If the recently published update is as good as its original (which was 1983), you can do worse than buy the book and, as the blurb suggests, do what it says--you just might land your dream job.
And Amazon.com--shame on you for not having this edition in stock!

A "Must Add" To Your Collection.......2001-09-05
The first chapters constitute a worthwhile review of well established, familiar concepts, but they also offer some different slants that are extremely valuable supplements. The authors, in the spirit of the "learning relationshp", revise and modify to incorporate the most recent developments in the field. The updates and refinements are definitely added value.
The middle five chapters are central to the book's mission. Here the reader experiences very detailed coverage of companies and organizations that have adopted the "one to one" way of doing business. This section of the book provides this detailed description in case study format illustrating the steps of implementation and explaining the benefits associated with each implementation phase. New concepts such as a "customer touch map" are very worthwhile additions to the CRM arsenal. The chapters cover a broad range of case studies including such divers applications as Dell Computer and LifeWay Christian Resources. All of this makes for a very rewarding reading experience.
And, in keeping with their well established literary charcter, Peppers and Rogers have an eye to the future that they share with the reader. For example, they don't shy away from offering advice to Dell on future direction in light of the challenges posed by the current environment. And, they take time to weigh the eventual impact of a B2B world that is rapidly extending its scope, offering assessments from their very informed perspectives.
As an academician who has spent considerable time studying the CRM movement and consulting with companies that embrace the same, this book definitely offers value and is must for anyone that is committed to the idea of cultivating and preserving customer relationships.
Great B2B reference for 2001.......2001-04-18
Good, current overview.......2001-03-21
Raisch presents a four-level model of the evolution of B2B markets, Order Management, Business Community Integrators, e-Marketplaces, and Value Trust Networks. Although he talks about the last two quite a bit (especially Value Trust Networks), he never really defines them or gives good examples. He talks about what they might accomplish, but never gives the reader an idea of what they look like or what they will look like.
Aside from these negatives, the book does provide an excellent overview of the current state of B2B and a good analysis of where it might be headed.

Globalization and Its Discontents: The Rise of Postmodern Socialisms
Roger Burbach , Orlando Nunez , Boris Kagarlitsky , and Orlando Nunez Soto Manufacturer: Pluto Press (UK) ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0745311717 |
Book Description
The decisive event of the late twentieth century has been the collapse of communism and the perceived triumph of capitalism. Written by authors from the First, former Second, and Third Worlds, this book reveals the characteristics and flaws of the late capitalist order. The authors explore the societal polarisation produced by globalization, the crisis of Western ideology, and the soft financial underbelly of globalization that could well bring us to an economic collapse. The perspective of this provocative book goes beyond those of the traditional left and the relativist, anti-historical school of postmodernism to offer an entirely fresh view of the world order.Customer Reviews:
A Third Alternative.......2005-11-29
Paperback format now available.......1999-03-25
Also, if you are into the subject of this book, check out _Rethinking Marxism_, especially Roger Burbach's article in Volume 10, Number 1, 1998. Burbach refers to this book and other like-minded books, journals, and intellectuals. And certainly check out Antonio (Toni) Negri, including the _Politics of Subversion_ and _Communists Like Us: New Lines of Alliance_. The latter title was co-authored with Felix Guattari while Negri was imprisoned; and sadly, Negri has been imprisoned again. For a transcript of the truly Orwellian proceedings which led to his imprisonment, see _Revolution Retrieved_.
