The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power
The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power

Review:In synopsis of Marx, capitalism--whereupon he provides multifarious, multitudinous, and incontrovertible evidence--negates ourselves (qua, humanity). Succinctly: "Capitalism Kills." Ergo, it's our responsibility--qua, humans--to "negate the negation" (i.e., supercede capitalism previous to its terminating ourselves).

This brief volume calls capitalism to account on multiple fronts; while capitalism is a death warrant , Prof. Chomsky--in seasoned, left-veteran fashion--whineth not. Th... Read more

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families

Review:I loved 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE -- http://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-People-Powerful/dp/1451639619 -- I bought this one, expecting more of the same. But this book is problematic, I had to stop reading. Why? Too many places where he comes across as judgemental of anyone who is not the same religion as he is. It's subtle, but after a while, it's intolerable.I don't need his ongoing underhanded reminders that you gotta do it the way his god sayeth. Perhaps the problem is he ... Read more

Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century
Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century

Review:This is a fascinating book about a growing culture in this country. A good deal of the book follows people the author had gotten to know as she traveled with them living as a nomad. Although most of them were living as nomads because of unfortunate personal downturns, they have come up with amazing innovative ways to live. The author also points out that it is made more difficult for them because most cities don't have good legal places for people living in vehicles to park. Camping spots should... Read more

What It Takes to Dominate the 21st Century Economy

Review:I didn't know a whole lot (read: anything) about the platform business model before reading this book. But I sure do now. Wow.

The main premise of the book is that platforms are currently the best way to organize companies, and author Moazed spends a lot of time describing how they work. Basically, platforms--like eBay, Amazon, Facebook, iTunes, SnapChat, etc.--move beyond the the linear business model (where products move through suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and THEN customer...

The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization - The Fifth Discipline

Review:Although this book was required for my intro MBA class, I would highly recommend this as a casual read for those business people who want to improve their organizations. Senge's concepts change your way of thinking, and make you look at the world a little different. Plus it was extremely affordable at only $17. I will read this book again. And probably again.

How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing America's Best & Brightest Workers
How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing America's Best & Brightest Workers

Review:This book shows how the politicians and cheap labor tech people are trying to destroy the tech industry and the careers of decent hardworking Americans.

This is especially bad as the tech industry is an area where average people can go to school and with some effort and discipline hopefully get a well paying long term job. The politicians talk about well paying long term jobs and they actively attack and attempt to destroy an industry and the careers of their citizens. This is terrible. A... Read more

Review:This is, maybe, the most practical but deeply sustained book I've ever read about how to make business online. If someone want to make business in Internet, she should read this book first.
