Summary

Elbert Hubbard's 'A Message to Garcia' is a timeless essay that emphasizes the importance of initiative, responsibility, and efficiency in the workplace. Written in a straightforward and no-nonsense style, the essay serves as a literary call-to-action, urging readers to take initiative and complete tasks with diligence and perseverance. Set in the context of the Spanish-American War, Hubbard's work reflects the values of American rugged individualism and the Protestant work ethic prevalent in the early 20th century. Elbert Hubbard, a prominent writer, publisher, and philosopher, was inspired to write 'A Message to Garcia' after a conversation with his son about the importance of taking responsibility and completing tasks without unnecessary hand-holding. Hubbard's own experiences as a businessman and entrepreneur likely influenced his belief in the value of proactive and resourceful workers in any organization. I highly recommend 'A Message to Garcia' to readers seeking motivation, inspiration, and practical advice on cultivating a strong work ethic and taking ownership of their responsibilities. Hubbard's timeless message is as relevant today as it was when it was first written, making it a must-read for anyone striving for personal and professional excellence.

    Connectivity is the most revolutionary force of the twenty-first century. Mankind is reengineering the planet, investing up to ten trillion dollars per year in transportation, energy, and communications infrastructure linking the world's burgeoning megacities together. This has profound consequences for geopolitics, economics, demographics, the environment, and social identity. Connectivity, not geography, is our destiny.In Connectography, visionary strategist Parag Khanna travels from Ukraine to Iran, Mongolia to North Korea, Pakistan to Nigeria, and across the Arctic Circle to explain the unprecedented changes affecting every part of the planet. He shows how militaries are deployed to protect supply chains as much as borders, and how nations are less at war over territory than engaged in tugs-of-war over pipelines, railways, shipping lanes, and Internet cables. The new arms race is to connect to the most markets—a race China is now winning, having launched a wave of infrastructure investments to unite Eurasia around its new Silk Roads. The United States can only regain ground by fusing with its neighbors into a super-continental North American Union of shared resources and prosperity.

    Politicians, economists, and Wall Street would have us believe that limitless economic expansion is the Holy Grail, and that there is no conflict between growing the economy and protecting the environment. Supply Shock debunks these widely accepted myths and demonstrates that we are in fact navigating the end of the era of economic growth, and that the only sustainable alternative is the development of a steady state economy.Starting with a refreshingly accessible, comprehensive critique of economic growth, the author engages readers in an enormous topic that affects everyone in every country.Publisher's Weekly favorably compared Czech to Carl Sagan for popularizing their difficult subjects; Supply Shock shows why.Czech presents a compelling alternative to growth based on keen scientific, economic, and political insights including:The "trophic theory of money"The overlooked source of technological progress that prevents us from reconciling growth and environmental protectionBold yet practical policies for establishing a steady state economy.Supply Shock leaves no doubt that the biggest idea of the 20th century – economic growth – has become the biggest problem of the 21st. Required reading for anyone concerned about the world our children and grandchildren will inherit, this landmark work lays a solid foundation for a new economic model, perhaps in time for preventing global
