Title: China Shakes the World

Subtitle: A Titan's Rise and Troubled Future - and the Challenge for America

Author: James Kynge

Narrator: Robert Blumenfeld

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-20-11

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 19 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

"Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world." Napoleon's words seem eerily prescient today, as the shock waves from China's awakening reverberate across the globe.

In China Shakes the World, the former China bureau chief of the Financial Times, James Kynge, traces these tremors from Beijing to Europe to the Midwest as China's ravenous hunger for jobs, raw materials, energy, and food - and its export of goods, workers, and investments - drastically reshape world trade and politics.

Delving beyond mere recitation of by-now-familiar statistics, Kynges on-the-ground reporting provides alternative explanations for China's explosive transformation, revealing many of the usual reasons given for its growth to be myths. Most important for the future, he details China's deep, systemic weaknesses - rampant fraud, crippling environmental crises, a corrupt banking system, faltering government institutions, a rapidly aging population - that threaten even greater global disruptions. And he demonstrates the profound consequences of those weaknesses for American manufacturers, oil companies, banks, and ordinary consumers.

Through dramatic stories of entrepreneurs and visionaries, factory workers and store clerks at the heart of this global phenomenon, China Shakes the World explains how China's breakneck rise occurred, the extraordinary problems the country now faces, and the consequences of both for the 21st century.

Critic Reviews:

"Kynge's crisp assessment of the dynamics involved is both authoritative and eye-opening." (Publishers Weekly)

"Should the U.S. worry about China? Most definitelybut, by Kynge's account, for different reasons from the ones being raised on Capitol Hill." (Kirkus Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Details behind today's headlines

Would you listen to China Shakes the World again? Why?

While very interesting, I would not want to listen to it AGAIN.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Story about the rise of China. Not really character oriented.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It's far too long for that.

Any additional comments?

Written about 2007, it gives reasonably current insight into China.

Understand the global economy

Even though a decade old the book provides insight into a global culture shift in the way goods and services will be offered. A great listen to expand fundamental economic outlook for generations to come. The read was in my wish list for quite some time, wish I would have pulled the trigger earlier.

Happy listening.

Must read to understand of today's China

I last visited China in 1999. You could feel the change in the air. Kynge captures the tempo and the drive of China. To understand what the Chinese approach to life and competition, is to know how to counter the actions.

Title: Outrageous Fortunes

Subtitle: The Twelve Surprising Trends That Will Reshape the Global Economy

Author: Daniel Altman

Narrator: William Hughes

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-18-11

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 25 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

As individuals, companies, and countries struggle to recover from the economic crisis, many are narrowly focused on forecasts for the next week, month, or quarter. Yet they should be asking what the global economy will look like in the years to comewhere will the long-term risks and opportunities arise? These are the questions that Daniel Altman confronts in his provocative and indispensable book.

The fate of the global economy, Altman argues, will be determined by deeper factors than those that move markets from moment to moment. His incisive analysis brings together hidden trends, societal pressures, and policy endgames to make 12 surprising but logical predictions about the years ahead. And his forecasts for the future raise a pressing question for today: with so many challenges awaiting us, are our political and economic institutions up to the task?

Outrageous Fortunes shows which industries will grow, which economies will crumble, which investments will pay off, and where the next big crisis may occur. Altmans carefully reasoned text is an essential guide for the road ahead.

Critic Reviews:

Outrageous Fortunes is provocative, fast-moving, authoritative, and imaginative. Expect the unexpected. (Tim Harford, author of

The Undercover Economist )

Amid all the handwringing on the downward trajectory of the global economy comes this cool, collected, and sensible view of forthcoming economic trendsAltman delivers more than mere analysis or foreshadowing: this is revelatory reading for even the most casual observer of economics, and an invaluable tool for reconsidering how the world makes money. (

Publishers Weekly)

With so many new books offering autopsies of the financial crisis and the deepest recession since World War II, its a blessing that Daniel Altman has his eyes firmly fixed on risks and opportunities in the road ahead. He brings together a series of compelling predictions, and though readers may not agree with every element of his forecasts, all will be better informed for having read his book. (Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group and author of

The End of the Free Market and

The J Curve)

Members Reviews:

An Unrealistic View

There are a few interesting things here but in general it's an academic economists view of the future. It suffers from the "Economic Man" Syndrome - theory heavy but lacking perspective when it comes to real human behavior. A much better read is George Friedman's The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century.

Interesting But Flawed

Altman hits on some interesting mega trends that provide plenty of food for thought for investors. His political views slip into the mix from time to time, which made the book seem less objective. For example, his near certain views about global warming and its likely effects will probably find favor with some, but not with others. Still, worth a listen.

Economic History

If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

It is an interesting period piece - the last two years have been so dynamic with regard to economics, that many of the premises on which Altman bases his predictions have already shifted, some as he said they would, many not so.

Title: Overhaul

Subtitle: An Insider's Account of the Obama Administration's Emergency Rescue of the Auto Industry

Author: Steven Rattner

Narrator: Joe Barrett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-23-10

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 39 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

This first real look inside Team Obama mixes political warfare and big-business shakeups in equal proportions, and comes from a uniquely informed source. Steve Rattner is not just the man brought in by the president to save the auto industry, he is a former New York Times financial reporter who also earned a place among the top tier of Wall Street's most informed investment bankers and corporate experts.

Now, from his vantage point at the helm of the historic auto-industry intervention, Rattner crafts a tightly plotted narrative of political brinkmanship, corporate mismanagement, and personalities under pressure in a high-stakes clash between Washington and Detroit. He also explains the tough choices he and his team made, working against a ticking clock and facing vocal opposition from free-market champions, to keep Chrysler and General Motors in operation.

As the economy faced free fall, Obama, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, and economic advisor Larry Summers - all revealingly described - faced the possibility of more than a million lost jobs and the astonishing wreckage of GM (a nightmare of huge proportions, caused by terrible management) and Chrysler (a company so close to death it was nearly sacrificed). Rattner's book, which takes the story up to the fall of 2010, is a gripping account of one of the severest crises of President Obama's first year in office, with lessons relevant for all managers and executives.

Critic Reviews:

"Obama auto czar Rattner delivers a vigorous account of the bailout of the automobile industry - a success, though one fraught with controversy... A fine inside-baseball account of how things can get done when people agree to get them done, even in Washington." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Overhaul is filled with delicious descriptions of what happened behind the scenes in the White House and at the Treasury Department as the effort to save GM and Chrysler unfolded... a riveting read." (The Wall Street Journal)

"'Overhaul' is not a Washington memoir, even though it is set in Washington, and it involves one of the most deeply politicized issues in recent memory. It is a Wall Street memoir, a book about one of the biggest private-equity deals in history....unexpectedly fascinating." (Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker)

Members Reviews:

A tremendous walk-through

For me, this book has it all: law, finance, business management, government, all wrapped in a contemporary, well-told tale of high drama. We can't prove the counter-factual, such as, what Detroit might be like now WITHOUT this, given how bad it is anyway, but I'm glad the collapse of these industries remained counter-factual, rather than factual. The author is very gifted at seamlessly explaining some pretty complex stuff, all in a story so smooth one might be forgiven for not noticing there is a big timely education here. Our corporations and institutions need plenty of restructuring, and this is a definitive story of it happening in real time in the unwieldy corridors of government and rather sclerotic big business, in the face of crisis. Maybe in some instances crisis is a mother of invention.

Title: Hedge Funds

Subtitle: Money

Author: iMinds

Narrator: Emily Sophie Knapp

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-22-10

Publisher: iMinds

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

Learn about hedge funds with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. A hedge fund is a type of investment structure for managing a private, unregistered investment pool. Within this investment portfolio the fund manager is permitted to use a number of higher risk investment strategies. Although a wide range of strategies are used the most common is long/short equity. This was the strategy used by the first hedge fund in the United States in 1949 and is still the most popular today.

The strategy simply involves a hedge-fund manager buying shares they think will rise in price and short-selling shares they believe will fall. This strategy allows for large profits, but also very large losses. Hedge funds may also take advantage of another high-risk strategy by using borrowed money to produce a greater return. However, despite the riskier strategies employed, hedge funds had become extremely popular and common, especially in the United States, prior to the financial crisis of 2007 - 2008. This is due to their ability to potentially provide great profits. In a good year, hedge funds can return profits of over 20%. Many hedge funds also limit the number of investors, meaning each participant gets a larger share of the profits. However, unlike most other funds, a hedge fund pays a percentage of the profits to the fund manager.

iMinds will hone your financial knowledge with its insightful series looking at topics related to Money, Investment and Finance.. whether an amateur or specialist in the field, iMinds targeted fast knowledge series will whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.iMinds unique fast-learning modules as seen in the Financial Times, Wired, Vogue, Robb Report, Sky News, LA Times, Mashable and many others... the future of general knowledge acquisition.

Editorial Reviews:

Anyone following the news in the last few years will have heard the term "hedge fund" more times than she can count. The source of phenomenal wealth for some, hedge funds have also produced some of the most phenomenal losses for their investors. Hedge funds have also been blamed for a large part of the global financial collapse in 2008. If you are unclear on just what a hedge fund is, this audiobook will clear up the issue for you in less than 10 minutes.

Produced by iMinds money division and narrated by the plainspoken, pleasant voice of Emily Sophie Knapp, this audiobook will explain why hedge funds - a relatively recent "innovation" of the financial industry - are "not for the fainthearted".

Title: Underwriting

Subtitle: Money

Author: iMinds

Narrator: Emily Sophie Knapp

Publisher's Summary:

Learn about Underwriting with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series.

Underwriting is the process of issuing insurance policies. A company underwrites your policy when it agrees to insure you or your property in exchange for the premiums you pay. Underwriting is carried out by either an insurance company or a professional underwriter. Underwriters assess risks and decide whether to accept applications for insurance cover and, if so, under what terms they are valid.

The underwriting profession achieved its name from British mercantile endeavors in the early-eighteenth century. The Britain of this age was in the process of building a vast empire. Along with such countries as the Netherlands and France it was conducting international trade on an ever-increasing scale. In London, a man by the name of Edward Lloyd used his well-placed café to enter the marine trade. Lloyd made his coffee house a base where sea captains gave the latest reports of ships sighted. As a result, Lloyds coffee house soon became known as a center for marine intelligence. And due to its knowledge of maritime matters, Lloyds became the ideal place to conduct maritime insurance. Before Lloyds, many insurance policies were negotiated after damages had occurred. However, at Lloyds, insurance was decided upon prior to the departure of cargo. An agreed amount was reached and those who sealed the deal wrote their name under the specified premium. Thus, the term underwriting was born.

Editorial Reviews:

In the late 1600s, boat owners sought insurance against shipwreck when their boats went out to sea. Investors would accept a bit of money from these owners and then sign their names under the information detailing the risk. If a boat got wrecked, the investors were on the hook. Today, the process has changed, but the purpose has not.

If financial jargon such as "underwriting" or "derivative" confuses you, iMinds series of extremely short audiobooks is a good place to clear that confusion. Written in an exceptionally forthright, crystal-clear manner and narrated by the pleasant voice of Emily Sophie Knapp, iMinds is a popular stop for anyone seeking to fill in their gaps in financial knowledge.

Title: Inflation

Publisher's Summary:

Learn about inflation with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. Inflation is the increase in the general price of goods and services brought about through either an increase in the amount of money in circulation or by an increase in costs. Historically, inflation often occurred due to the acquisition of new gold deposits. For example, inflation occurred in Europe when Europeans brought back gold from their new American colonies in the Early Modern period. In more recent times, wars have proven to be a major cause of inflation. This is because war leads to government borrowing, increased money supply and fewer consumer goods. This causes a rise in the prices of the goods that are still available. However, aside from discovery and conflict, inflation is a natural economic progression and has been occurring globally since the end of World War Two. In the United States, yearly inflation of 2% to 3% is considered average.

When inflation is greater than zero, money loses some of its purchasing power. This is a fundamental point to understand for anyone wanting to make money on the stock market. If you invest in shares that do not increase in value at an equal or faster pace than inflation, then you will lose money, even if your price increases.

Editorial Reviews:

This audiobook by iMinds will explain to the financial neophyte just what inflation is and how it works.

Buy it now, before its price inflates....

Title: Short Selling

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 mins

Release date: 11-17-10

Publisher: iMinds

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

Learn about short selling with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. Short selling is the practice of selling borrowed stock at a high price and then buying back the stock at a lower price. A short seller expects to profit from the fall in a stock's price. The more common investment practice is to go long, that is, to buy stock with the expectation of the price rising in the future.

Simply put, a short transaction sells high and buys low, while a long transaction buys low and sells high. A basic example is as follows. An investor believes that Company A stock is overpriced at $60 per share. The investor then borrows 100 shares and sells them for $6,000. The price of Company A's shares then fall to $20. The investor buys 100 shares at $20 for $2,000. The investor then returns the shares that have been borrowed and makes a $4,000 profit.

Title: Sovereign Debt

Publisher: iMinds

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

Learn about sovereign debt with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. Sovereign debt is the debt of a country or government. This debt is usually comprised of bonds issued by the government. Sovereign debt can be contrasted with government debt. Government debt is when bonds are issued in a nations own currency. Therefore, this debt is mostly created within a countrys own economic boundaries. Sovereign debt, however, is created from bonds issued in foreign currencies or through loans from international financial institutions. The total of debts owed to both domestic and foreign lenders is known as national debt. National debt issued to both domestic and foreign parties is typically issued via bonds. A bond is basically an IOU. The investor will lend money to the government and the government will, at some point, repay the investor. The bond states the specific date that it will mature, that is, when it will be repaid, and the rate of interest the bond will accrue. Bonds, while different in many ways, are similar to stocks in that they are able to be traded. Bonds tend to be issued only by large corporate bodies or governments, due to the risk of the issuer not being able to repay the bond once it matures. iMinds will hone your financial knowledge with its insightful series looking at topics related to Money, Investment and Finance.. whether an amateur or specialist in the field, iMinds targeted fast knowledge series will whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.iMinds unique fast-learning modules as seen in the Financial Times, Wired, Vogue, Robb Report, Sky News, LA Times, Mashable and many others.. the future of general knowledge acquisition.

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

Learn about EBITDA with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. Traditionally, those looking to investigate the financial health and value of a company have focused on things such as net income, cash flow and revenue. In recent times, another form of financial analysis has become increasingly used by investors, debt holder and others interested in the worth of businesses. It is known as EBITDA.

EBITDA is an acronym that refers to a companys earnings before the deduction of interest, tax, depreciation and amortization expenses. It is a common and widely-used measure of the value of a business. The purpose of EBITDA analysis is to measure cash earnings without accrual accounting, canceling tax-jurisdiction effects and canceling the effects of different capital structures.EBITDA first came to prominence in the mid 1980s when leveraged buyout investors examined distressed companies that would need financial restructuring. They used the EBITDA analysis as a quick calculation to determine whether these companies could pay back the interest on these financed deals. For example, a company with an EBITDA of $10 million and interest charges of $5 million has an interest coverage of 2. This is more than enough to sufficiently pay off the debt of this buyout. From this, EBITDA has grown today into a commonly used method of analysis for a wide range of businesses. iMinds will hone your financial knowledge with its insightful series looking at topics related to Money, Investment and Finance.. whether an amateur or specialist in the field, iMinds targeted fast knowledge series will whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.

Editorial Reviews:

If you think EBITDA is a musical by Andrew Lloyd Weber, take a listen to iMindss series of very brief introductions to important financial concepts. In less than 10 minutes, and using simple language clearly spoken by Emily Sophie Knapp, iMinds gives the listener clear answers to most basic financial questions.

If youve ever read through the notes of a corporations quarterly earnings report, you may have noticed a type of financial analysis called EBITDA: "Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization", a very common analytic used to estimate the worth of a business. This audiobook very helpfully breaks down this sophisticated mechanism into its component parts.
