Completing Capitalism - Heal Business to Heal the World

Bruno Roche, Jay Jakub

Summary

Two leading economists present a new model for sustainable capitalism based on the economics of mutuality. 
 
For decades, leaders in the business world have believed that their sole responsibility is to maximize profit for shareholders. But this obsessive focus was a major cause of the abuses that nearly sunk the global economy in 2008. While books like Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century have exposed the shortcomings of financial capitalism, Completing Capitalism goes further by describing a well-developed, field-tested alternative. 
 
In this analytically rigorous and eminently practical book, Bruno Roche and Jay Jakub offer a more complete form of capitalism, one that delivers superior financial performance precisely because it mobilizes and generates human, social, and natural capital along with financial capital. Offering practical, real-world illustrations, Roche and Jakub describe how their model has been implemented in live business pilots in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere.

Brooks Bryant

*PLEASE NOTE: This concise summary is unofficial and is not authorized, approved, licensed, or endorsed by the original book’s publisher or author.*
Short on time? Or maybe you’ve already read the book, but need a refresh on the most important takeaways. In a quick, easy listen, you can take the main principles from Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is a bestselling book that has become the #1 personal finance book of all time. In the book, Kiyosaki seeks to describe the lessons about money that rich fathers teach their children versus the teachings of poor and middle-class families. Moreover, Kiyosaki uses personal anecdotes from his poor dad—his real father, a hardworking man who couldn’t seem to make ends meet—and his rich dad—his mentor, a middle school dropout turned millionaire—to show how people must challenge their view of money to find richness even if they don’t earn a high income.
Having been translated into multiple languages and having sold over thirty-six million copies across the world, Rich Dad Poor Dad is a powerful book that has changed the way many people view financial freedom and financial education. This book shows a new point of view to finances that many people have not been taught. Using this information, Kiyosaki was able to retire before he turned fifty. Ultimately, this book debunks several myths and suggests that everyone can have financial security if they use the knowledge outlined in this book.
This audiobook encapsulates key takeaways found in the original book. We’ve also provided an in-depth analysis as well as removing any fluff to save you hours of your time. If you’ve read the original, then this audio summary will help you solidify the most important lessons.

Tracing Your Northern Irish...

Ian Maxwell

The second edition of Tracing Your Northern Irish Ancestors is an expert introduction for the family historian to the wealth of material available to researchers in archives throughout Northern Ireland. Many records, like the early twentieth-century census returns and school registers, will be familiar to researchers, but others are often overlooked by all but the most experienced of genealogists. An easy-to-use, informative guide to the comprehensive collections available at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland is a key feature of Ian Maxwells handbook. He also takes the reader through the records held in many libraries, museums and heritage centres across the province, and he provides detailed coverage of records that are available online. Unlike the rest of the British Isles, which has very extensive civil and census records, Irish ancestral research is hampered by the destruction of many of the major collections. Yet Ian Maxwell shows how family historians can make good use of church records, school registers and land and valuation records to trace their roots to the beginning of the nineteenth century and beyond.

How to Use the Internet to...

Dr. Jim Anderson

Just in case nobody ever told you, being a principal, teacher, or a parent is a tough job. You are the person who is ultimately responsible for the academic success of one or more students. Your every decision can have an immediate impact on a student, a class, and perhaps even an entire school.

Now that we've arrived in the 21st Century you'd think that the job would have gotten easier, but it has not. The arrival of all of today's new communication tools such as mobile phones, Facebook, Twitter, and, of course, websites, just seems to have made things that much more confusing. Yes, by now the school that you are involved with probably has its own website; however, who is maintaining it and is it really doing anyone any good?

What You'll Find Inside:

JUST HOW IMPORTANT IS PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN A SCHOOL?
CAN A WEBSITE HELP A SCHOOL KEEP ITS TEACHERS?
HOW CAN YOUR SCHOOL WEBSITE HELP YOU WHEN THE RAINS COME?
NEWSPAPERS ARE ALIVE AND WELL AND LIVING AT A SCHOOL NEAR YOU

If there is any good news to come out of the current state that we now find ourselves in is that powerful and effective tools have become available for our schools to use in order to help make their students successful. If done correctly, these websites can make it easier than ever for parents to know what is going on at the school and to get involved. The Digital Bell service is an Internet-based content management system that allows schools (and school districts) to pour all of the information that they have about what is currently happening at their school into a single, easy-to-use online tool that will then process all of that data and create an attractive modern interactive website for the school. This is exactly what parents need!

This book has been written to provide you with the insights that you are going to need in order to understand how your school and school district could best make use of a service like The Digital Bell. We'll be talking about what you need to take into consideration when you are planning on updating the websites that your school is using, how a school district can use its websites when natural disasters strike, how a school website can get students involved in creating content, and how to get some peace and quiet for office staff by creating a great website.
