Paperback. Condición: Good. Intellectual Capital is a groundbreaking book, visionary in scope and immediate in application. It shows how the emergence of the Information Age has changed the nature of wealth, and it offers powerful new ways of looking at what companies do and how to lead them. In an economy based on knowledge, intellectual capital - the untapped, unmapped knowledge of organisations - has become a company's greatest weapon. It is found in the talent of the people who work there; the loyalty of the customers it serves and learns from; the value of its brands, copyrights, patents and other intellectual capital; the collective knowledge embodied in its systems, management techniques, and history vital assets that are rarely managed and almost never managed skillfully. Intellectual Capital is the first book to provide the key, showing how to discover, understand, and unlock the value of these hidden assets. Dazzling in its ability to make conceptual sense of the economic revolution we are living through, but also pointed, practical and urgent, Intellectual Capital cuts through the vague rhetoric of paradigm shifts to show how the Information Age economy really works and how to make it work for you and your business.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A nuanced history of prostitution in Victoria told through newly uncovered stories of women who lived it. From the establishment of Fort Victoria, BC's capital city has had a long history of prostitution. But little has been written on the lives of the women themselves--some of the most enterprising women in Victoria's past. Instead, these women's stories have been relegated to judgmental newspaper headlines. Now historian Linda J. Eversole takes a deeper look at their lives, from the mid-nineteenth century to the First World War and the Moral Reform movement. Story by story, from the fur trade, through confederation, waves of immigration, and attempts at reform and legislation, Eversole uncovers the histories of the women who made a living, and in some cases a fortune, from the world's oldest profession. With accompanying maps and historical photos, new research, and the support of the descendants of some of her subjects, Eversole presents a nuanced, human series of portraits that enhances our understanding of this important strand of the city's history.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Since the moment the deeply unsettling financial disaster erupted in September 2008, a crisis of confidence has gripped the economic mind. Experts of all stripes, from Alan Greenspan on down, were at a loss to explain what had happened. David Harvey saw this moment coming. A legendary scholar and critic of capitalism, he has been warning of problems for decades. Now, in The Enigma of Capital, Harvey provides a sweeping and brilliantly clear explanation of how the disaster happened, and how we can avoid another like it. Unlike other commentators, Harvey does not focus on subprime loans or mortgage securitization as the root cause of the calamity. Instead, he looks at something that reaches far deeper into the heart of capitalism--the flow of money through society. He shows how falling profit margins in the 1970s generated a deep transformation. With government assistance, capital was freed to flow across borders, and production moved to cheaper labor markets, depressing workers' incomes in the West. But as more and more money moved out of the laboring classes and into the pockets of the wealthy, a problem arose--how could the workers afford to buy the products which fueled the now-global economy? To solve this problem, a new kind of finance capitalism arose, pouring rivers of credit to increasingly strapped consumers. Moreover, these financial institutions loaned money to both real-estate developers as well as home buyers--in effect, controlling both the supply and demand for housing. But when the real-estate market collapsed, so did this financial edifice, an edifice that dominated our economy. We cannot afford to simply shore up this financial system, Harvey writes; we need to undertake a radical overhaul. With this landmark account, he offers a richly informed discussion of how we can turn our economy in a new direction--fairer, healthier, more just, and truly sustainable. …

Paperback. Condición: Good. Building great wealth is enormously difficult. But maintaining that wealth across the generations is an even greater challenge. In Creative Capital: Managing Private Wealth in a Complex World, Gregory Curtis outlines the investment secrets of the world's wealthiest families. These best investment practices for taxable investors represent the only certain way to preserve and grow private capital in the face of taxes, inflation, investment costs, and the conflicts of interest that are endemic in the financial advisory business. Managing capital successfully is naturally important to wealthy families themselves. But Curtis argues that the role of wealth goes far beyond private advantage. Wealthy families, says Curtis, lie at the very heart of American distinctiveness, of the vigor, resilience and creativity that have made America the most successful nation in history. Creative Capital begins with a discussion of the crucial role private wealth plays in America's remarkable economic and cultural success. In Part Two of Creative Capital, Curtis discusses several broad issues that wealthy families face, including understanding investment risk, conflicts of interest among financial advisors, and the challenge of making sound investment decisions. Part Three is a step-by-step guide to the successful management of liquid wealth, focusing on best investment practices from portfolio design to manager selection to monitoring investment performance. Wealthy families have already made an important contribution to America's remarkable economic success - their wealth is society's recognition of that contribution. But families can, and must, continue to contribute to America's strength for many generations to come through the creative management and deployment of their capital. Creative Capital is an owner's manual for those families.…
