Gross D: A Banker's Journey

A Banker's Journey

To understand today's world-its media, its politics, and its culture wars-you must first understand Rupert Murdoch. For seventy years, he cultivated leaders like Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Tony Blair, and, eventually, Donald Trump. Across continents and decades, presidents and prime ministers sought his favor-and feared his wrath. But Murdoch's real achievement is how he built that influence in the first place.&nbsp;At twenty-one years old, he inherited two failing Australian papers after his father's sudden death left the family in debt with rivals circling. Deal by deal, he fought his way from Adelaide to London to America, buying up ailing newspapers that his established competitors were convinced would fail. With each win, he wagered more, until he'd assembled a globe-spanning empire that gave him leverage over politics, culture, and the news itself. He nearly lost it all under a mountain of debt in 1990. He missed the internet, twice. A phone-hacking scandal made him a pariah in the UK. And late in life, he fought his own children over who would inherit what he'd built. Yet Murdoch's influence persisted through every crisis: his career both masterclass and cautionary tale about the power that comes from controlling the story. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, this sweeping biography reveals the man behind the empire-and the century he helped shape.

Rupert Murdoch and the Deals That Shaped a Century

"Die Grundlage für jede Debatte!" Andrea Nüsse, Frankfurter Rundschau 
 
 Mit dem Angriff der Hamas auf Israel ist der Nahostkonflikt in ungekannter Schärfe eskaliert. Israel hat die Hamas im Gaza-Streifen bekämpft, das Gebiet in weiten Teilen unbewohnbar gemacht und unzählige zivile Opfer in Kauf genommen. Der Konflikt hat sich bald ausgeweitet, Israel führte Krieg gegen die Hisbollah im Libanon und griff zusammen mit den USA Iran an. Muriel Asseburg erklärt, wie es zu dieser Eskalation kommen konnte, was die weltweiten Folgen sind und warum Frieden in der Region so fern gerückt ist. 
 
 7. Oktober 2023: Israel wird von einem Terrorangriff der Hamas überrascht. 1.200 Menschen kommen ums Leben, 250 Geiseln werden verschleppt. Israel riegelt daraufhin den Gazastreifen vollständig ab, startet eine Großoffensive gegen die Hamas und nimmt eine humanitäre Katastrophe ? und den Vorwurf des Völkermords ? in Kauf. Muriel Asseburg schildert mit viel Empathie die schrecklichen Ereignisse seit dem 7. Oktober, erläutert die Vorgeschichte und zeigt, wie der Krieg immer weitere Kreise zieht: vom Westjordanland bis nach Syrien und Irak, über den Libanon bis zu den Huthi-Milizen im Jemen und zum Krieg der USA und Israels gegen Iran. Sie schildert auch die Bemühungen der USA, der arabischen Kontaktgruppe und der Internationalen Gerichtshöfe in Den Haag, die Gewalt einzudämmen. Dabei gelingt es ihr souverän, die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven deutlich zu machen und so ein Bild von beeindruckender Tiefenschärfe zu zeichnen.

Jenseits des diplomatischen Protokolls: Steffen Seiberts persönlicher Blick auf IsraelSteffen Seibert hatte einen der sensibelsten, schwierigsten Posten der deutschen Diplomatie: Botschafter in Israel. Hier erzählt er, wie er diese Aufgabe angenommen hat, als Mensch, der sich diesem Land mit jeder Erfahrung und jeder Erschütterung tiefer verbunden fühlt. Er schreibt über Glück und Angst, über das Leben im Rhythmus der Raketenalarme und von der poetischen Kraft der Lieder Arik Einsteins. Er hat den Terror des 7. Oktober 2023 miterlebt und zwei Jahre lang die Familien deutscher Geiseln in ihren Ängsten und Hoffnungen begleitet. Er berichtet, wie er demonstrativ im Obersten Gericht Platz nahm, als dort der umstrittene Justizumbau der Regierung verhandelt wurde. Und auch, wie er mit israelischen Aktivisten in den besetzten Gebieten versuchte, palästinensische Bauern vor der Gewalt extremistischer Siedler zu schützen. Damit hat er sich nicht nur Freunde gemacht.Doch unter den Israelis hat Seibert viele Herzen gewonnen. Und vielen Deutschen hat er gezeigt, dass historische Verantwortung keine Gedenkformel ist - sondern Haltung, die man lebt, und Begegnung, die man wagt. In diesem Buch wird beides erfahrbar.'Kein anderer ausländischer Diplomat hat Israel so gut kennengelernt und seine Gesellschaft so tief verstanden wie Steffen Seibert. Daher ist seine enge Verbundenheit mit diesem Land ebenso glaubwürdig und berechtigt wie seine gelegentliche Kritik an der israelischen Politik.'

'An excellent look at what Palantir does, as well as a fascinating insight into the mind of its eccentric chief executive' TelegraphPalantir Technologies is the most interesting company in the world -&nbsp;and the most controversial.&nbsp;Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the U.S. government in the war on terrorism - an early investor was the CIA - Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the U.S. military, the National Health Service in England, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to healthcare to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the twenty-first century.&nbsp;Its billionaire CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he's a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir's work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp's close friend and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel.&nbsp;In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger is the first to tell the story of Alex Karp and Palantir from the beginning. Steinberger offers new biographical details and a rich psychological portrait of the man leading one of the world's most secretive companies. Full of revelations, this is an urgent and insightful book about technological power, the surveillance state and the future we all face.

Alex Karp, Palantir and the Rise of the Surveillance State

The Philosopher in the Valley

Amid unprecedented growth in electricity demand and the rapid buildout of digital infrastructure, energy has become a strategic imperative. A visionary entrepreneur and energy industry pioneer, Michael Polsky has spent the last half-century at the forefront of the innovation, technology, and market shifts that define the energy landscape.With only $500 in cash, four suitcases, and a few words of English, Polsky immigrated to the US from Soviet Ukraine in 1976. Over the next 25 years, he built two successful energy companies before founding Invenergy in 2001. Since then, the company has grown into North America's largest independent energy developer, owner, and operator. Polsky has navigated all forms of politicization and uncertainty to achieve singular scale in the industry, having developed more than 230 projects, including some of the most complex energy infrastructure in the world.Reflecting on his remarkable journey, Polsky draws on his experience across nearly every energy technology to provide a firsthand account of the profound transformation underway. Inexhaustible is a story of deep determination and relentless effort, presenting a pragmatic vision for the future of American energy--and what it will take for us to achieve true energy independence.

My Journey Into the Future of Energy

Inexhaustible

A lesson-packed success story for the twenty-first century, from a ninth-generation Kentuckian who imported the Silicon Valley playbook to the heartland, revealing how the entrepreneurial mindset can be applied anywhere, and even to our most stubborn industries. In his case: trash. When Nate Morris decided to build a business, he wasn’t looking to disrupt—he was looking for a problem to solve. Morris believed that the bigger the problem, the more the market would reward him for solving it. And one of the biggest problems, he came to believe, was one that every person, business, and community dealt with on a daily basis, but which was often overlooked: waste. American Trash is the moving story of how a ninth-generation Kentuckian—a boy who grew up being called “white trash”—applied the innovative thinking we associate with Silicon Valley startups to the ancient problem of waste. Raised on the scrappy resourcefulness of his grandfather, president of their local autoworkers’ union, Morris built Rubicon, a waste management company powered by digital technology. Unlike the bloated industry titans of yesterday, Rubicon was asset light: It wouldn’t own landfills, so it would be free of the perverse incentive to fill the land with chemical-laden trash, and it wouldn’t own trucks, so it would support “mom and pop” hauler businesses. Most important, it would be based in Georgia and Kentucky, thousands of miles from the near-sighted culture of Silicon Valley. In telling his story, Morris shows how he combined the great tradition of American entrepreneurship with the lessons of the digital economy—and did it far from the coastal bastions of the technology elite. The result is a blueprint for those seeking to tackle our biggest challenges with creative, free-market solutions.

Hard-Earned Lessons from a Heartland Entrepreneur

American Trash

Der ewige Sündenbock

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.
