What if, instead, your company could run on automatic while it continued to grow and turn a profit? It’s possible—and the revised and expanded edition of Clockwork makes it easier than ever.

Title: Merger Masters: Tales of Arbitrage

Author: Mario Gabelli, Kate Welling

Narrator: Chloe Cannon, Jonathan Yen

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 17 hours 19 minutes

Release date: August 23, 2022

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

Merger Masters presents revealing profiles of monumentally successful merger investors based on exclusive interviews with some of the greatest minds to practice the art of arbitrage. Michael Price, John Paulson, Paul Singer, and others offer practical perspectives on how their backgrounds in the risk-conscious world of merger arbitrage helped them make their biggest deals. They share their insights on the discipline that underlies their fortunes, whether they practice the 'plain vanilla' strategy of announced deals, the aggressive strategy of activist investment, or any strategy in between on the risk spectrum. Merger Masters delves into the human side of risk arbitrage, exploring how top practitioners deal with the behavioral aspects of generating consistent profits from risk arbitrage. The book also includes perspectives from the other side of the mergers and acquisitions divide in the form of interviews with a trio of iconic CEOs: Bill Stiritz, Peter McCausland, and Paul Montrone. All three took advantage of M&A opportunities to help build long-term returns but often found themselves at odds with the short-term focus of Wall Street and merger investors. Told in lively, accessible prose, Merger Masters is an incomparable set of stories with plenty of unfiltered lessons from the best managers of our time.

On the eve of the Sino-American great power competition General Mattis challenged America to move forward at the speed of relevance. To compete effectively America needed to excel in its AI capacity. The call fell on deaf ears—and years later the nation found itself sliding towards a state of irrelevance on the global stage. A series of blunders contributed to what President Biden calls American AI's 'failing and falling behind.' This is the story of American AI's fall from grace. Capturing the live moments of American excitement and mastery of AI to the tragedy of ending up behind China, the authors give a behind the scenes account of what transpired. Get an inside view on who dropped the ball at a time when America needed its best leadership. As the mystery unravels, it shows the great misses and deceptions, colossal mistakes, policy failures, and negligence that cost America its leadership position. This story could become the story of America's own decline and fall. But there is hope. In the past America has shown resilience to bounce back from the agony of defeat to win in the long run. This book gives a path to rebuild American AI and secure such a victory.

The term 'emerging market' refers to a country where incomes are currently low but that is likely to experience rapid growth and increasing economic competitiveness. Yet many of the characteristics of emerging markets—including demographic shifts, rising educational attainment, and growing urbanization—are also found closer to home, in communities that have been underserved by the existing financial-services system. Gregory Fairchild introduces listeners to the rising set of entrepreneurs whose efforts to reach marginalized groups are reshaping the emerging markets of the United States. He explores how minority-owned and community-development institutions are achieving innovations in consumer- and small-business-targeted financial services to further economic development and reduce inequality. He analyzes the models of these organizations, measures their successes and failures, and provides suggestions for sustainable growth of similar organizations. Bringing together quantitative research, powerful stories of real-world entrepreneurs, and nuanced insights on public policy, Emerging Domestic Markets offers a vital set of prescriptions for inclusive financial development.

Release date: August 15, 2022

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

La història de com Amèrica del Nord ha passat de ser un mercat obert i competitiu a ser una economia en què unes quantes empreses dominen indústries clau que afecten la nostra vida quotidiana. Els monopolis digitals com ara Google o Facebook fan de guardians del món digital. Tenim la impressió que decidim, però per a la majoria de les decisions crítiques, quan es tracta d'internet d'alta velocitat, assegurances mèdiques, atenció sanitària, xarxes socials, cerques a internet o fins i tot béns de consum com la pasta de dents, disposem només d’una o dues empreses. El mite del capitalisme és la història de la concentració industrial, però és una cosa que importa a tothom, ja que els interessos no podien ser més grans. - Jonathan Tepper és president de Varian Perception, un grup de recerca macroeconòmica. Erudit de Rhodes, des que se’n va anar d’Oxford ha treballat com a analista de capital i com a vicepresident d’operacions a Bank of America. Va obtenir una llicenciatura amb els honors més alts a Història i Economia de la Universitat de Carolina del Nord a Chapel Hill.
