Title: Capital Ideas Evolving

Author: Peter L. Bernstein

Narrator: Sean Pratt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:34:36

Language: English

Release date: 01-22-09

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: History, World

Summary:

In all of history and in all fields of intellectual endeavor, a tension has existed between theory and practice. Those who earn a living in the real world seldom want to appear as slaves to some set of abstract ideas. It was no surprise, therefore, that the word baloney was Wall Streets greeting to the pioneering theories of finance developed by a small group of academics from 1954-1972. Yet those breakthrough theories would in time earn five Nobel Prizes in Economic Science. Baloney they were not.

Bernstein, todays foremost financial historian expands here upon his groundbreaking book of 1992, Capital Ideas: The Improbable Origins of Modern Wall Street, to recount how these financial theories finally migrated from towers of ivory to towers of glass on Wall Street and other financial centers around the world. The result has been a global revolution in the nature of financial markets, the menu of investment strategies, the development of exotic financial instruments, and the role of an uncertain future in all investment decisions. Even the academics who originally developed these theories are active today in the markets and in the creation of new financial structures and strategies.

Based on personal interviews with leading practitioners and theorists, this audio describes how todays key practical applications developed from the core ideas of finance theory into the new and exciting formats of the investment process found in todays environment. This engaging and insightful audio book brings to life the individuals, ideas and issues that are transforming the financial landscape.

Title: Price of Prosperity: A realistic Appraisal of the Future of Our National Economy

Author: Peter L. Bernstein

Narrator: Walter Dixon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:12:00

Language: English

Release date: 01-16-09

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Accounting & Finance

Summary:

One of the foremost financial writers of his generation, Peter Bernstein has the unique ability to synthesize intellectual history and economics with the theory and practice of investment management. Now, with classic titles such as Economist on Wall Street, A Primer on Money, Banking, and Gold, and The Price of Prosperity - which have forewords by financial luminaries and new introductions by the author - you can enjoy some of the best of Bernstein in his earlier Wall Street days.

First published in 1962, The Price of Prosperity speaks to today's uncertainties as clearly as to those of the past. With chapters like "The Burden of Government" and "The Economics of Democracy," Bernstein probes the future of an economy during rapidly changing times and the appropriate role of government in determining the ultimate outcome. The questions have not changed over time, but Bernstein's answers help us understand these issues from today's perspective.

How much government control is too much control? How much can government spend? How can government influence the level of unemployment? As Bernstein shows how to navigate an ever-changing economic landscape, his timeless insights throughout this audiobook make The Price of Prosperity as vital and important today as when it appeared in an environment fundamentally different from our own.

Title: Enough: True Measures of Money, Business, and Life

Author: John C. Bogle

Narrator: Alan Sklar

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:14:43

Language: English

Release date: 12-03-08

Publisher: HighBridge Company

Genres: Business & Economics, Business Development

Summary:

For a critical element of American society, including many of its wealthiest and most powerful, there seems to be no limit today on what 'enough' entails. The excesses are most starkly visible in the continuing crisis in banking and investment, and even in the two enormous government-sponsored (but publicly owned) mortgage lenders, to say nothing of the billion-dollar-plus annual paychecks that top hedge-fund managers draw down and the excessive compensation paid to CEOs, regardless of  performance. Throughout his legendary career, John Bogle-founder of the Vanguard mutual fund group, and creator of the first index mutual fund-has helped investors build wealth the right way and led a tireless campaign to restore common sense to the investment world. Along the way, he's seen how destructive an obsession with financial success can be. Now, with Enough, he puts this dilemma in perspective. Bogle offers his unparalleled insights on money, on the values we should emulate in our business and professional callings, and on what we should consider as the true treasures in our lives. By explaining what 'enough' truly is, he demonstrates how close everyone can be to having it.

Title: OBD: Obsessive Branding Disorder: The Illusion of Business and the Business of Illusion

Author: Lucas Conley

Narrator: Walter Dixon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:13:30

Language: English

Release date: 11-12-08

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Marketing & Advertising, Self Development, Health & Wellness

Summary:

A successful brand creates a positive association in a customers mind, sells a promise, and tells a story about who we are. The virtues of creating brand identity to attract product sales have been acknowledged for decades. But brandingonce considered a helpful, rather than necessary flourishhas assumed status in todays world as a key ingredient to winning business.

America pours upwards of $300 billion dollars into branding every year. On any given day, each of us is bombarded by between 3,000 and 5,000 ads. In myriad ways, we are subtly branded through every chapter of our lives: by the clothes whose logos we complacently sport, by the music we listen to, by the beverages we drink and the food we eat, by the books we read, even by the neighborhoods in which we choose to live.

With hundreds of new products arriving on retail shelves every day, and the rise of cheaper foreign brands and the house brands of mega-stores like Target and Wal-Mart, American companies are increasingly resorting to image overhauls to attract customers in lieu of improvements to product quality or functionality. Identity, in a sea of nearly indistinguishable items, is more important than ever before. Yet while innovative packaging commands attention, it often does so at considerable cost to the businesses and consumers responsible for fueling an industry of shape-shifting.

In this trenchant analysis of a business stratagem gone wrong, Lucas Conley offers us a long overdue investigation into our culture of obsession. From sensory specialists to word-of-mouth marketers and executives keen to leave their mark, we are introduced to the unforgettable cast of characters responsible for getting our attention from often insidious, emotionally charged angles. In a landscape punctuated by brand-churches and tribes, Conley lifts the veil on an unchecked phenomenon and requires us to consider the grave ramifications of our branded world. As hilarious as it is frightening, OBD: Obsessive Branding Disorder skillfully reexamines our buying habits to illustrate the chilling impact of the industry masterminds responsible for capturing our attention and seducing us to buyat any cost.
