The bestselling author of the acclaimed "House of Cards" and "The Last Tycoons "turns his spotlight on to Goldman Sachs and the controversy behind its success. From the outside, Goldman Sachs is a perfect company. The Goldman PR machine loudly declares it to be smarter, more ethical, and more profitable than all of its competitors. Behind closed doors, however, the firm constantly straddles the line between conflict of interest and legitimate deal making, wields significant influence over all levels of government, and upholds a culture of power struggles and toxic paranoia. And its clever bet against the mortgage market in 2007--unknown to its clients--may have made the financial ruin of the Great Recession worse. "Money and Power" reveals the internal schemes that have guided the bank from its founding through its remarkable windfall during the 2008 financial crisis. Through extensive research and interviews with the inside players, including current CEO Lloyd Blankfein, William Cohan constructs a nuanced, timely portrait of Goldman Sachs, the company that was too big--and too ruthless--to fail.

Описание: For a century now, scholars have searched for the "source" of Marcel Proust's startlingly innovative novel la recherche du temps perdu. Some have pointed to Henri Bergson, Sigmund Freud, or Paul Sollier. Others have referenced the novels of Henry James. But no one has focused on the more significant influence of the writings of Henry's older brother, the psychologist and Harvard professor William James. A close comparison reveals the degree to which Proust's novel stems from James's psychological and philosophical theories. William James was a prominent member of the scientific, medical and philosophical communities in Proust's Paris and was close friends with two men well known to Proust. His works were translated into French and reviewed in French journals and newspapers. This book discloses how Proust likely became familiar with William James and illustrates how James's writings were key to Proust's ability to craft the book he had been trying to write, extending even to his use of similar language and imagery and a narrative schema that arguably mimics James's descriptions of consciousness, perception, and memory. Proust's hero assiduously explores the vague, uncertain, relational aspects of experience, the trials and comforts of habit, the salvational potential of memory, the "moral" aspects of personal history teeming with impression and desire--these are the truths of human psychology and behavior theorized by William James and made fictional flesh in Proust's rendition of lived experience.
Описание: Hospitality guru Dan Sachs, consultant to the likes of Danny Meyers, interviews business leaders at highly successful companies nationwide to reveal their proven, but little-known practices for high profit and employee loyalty at no or little cost to the business owner, and what practices are critical for all businesses to implement today.
For more than twenty years, Dan Sachs has helped established and emerging businesses implement simple hospitality practices that grow profits quickly and create a culture of employee satisfaction and retention. In The Million Dollar Greeting, readers accompany Sachs as he travels across the United States, interviewing leaders from giants like Zappos and Hyatt Hotels to smaller names like Brooklyn Brewery and the Union Square Hospitality Group, to expose their proven practices for this and share how readers can easily implement the practices in their own business, no matter its industry, size, or location.
The original words of the business owners, including their practices, many of which are told for the very first time, are shared and analyzed by Sachs. Instructional takeaways are written for the business world as it exists in 2018 and with consideration for expected changes over the coming years. Topics covered include answering the question of what modern-day hospitality is and why it matters in the digital age; what hospitality practices lead to high financial rewards and the retention of top employees; the best ways to manage employees of all ages, from baby boomers to millenials, generations X and Y; what hospitality practices are critical now, capable of making or breaking a company; what practices are dated and should be ended; and what practices will grow increasingly critical for businesses to implement over the coming years.
