Strategies for Success in the Online Marketplace

Adam Smith's classic work, The Wealth of Nations, revolutionized the field of economics with its detailed analysis of the principles of capitalism. Written in a clear and concise style, Smith delves into the division of labor, the invisible hand of the market, and the importance of free trade. The book not only provides insights into economic theory but also delves into the ethical and moral implications of economic decisions, making it a groundbreaking text in the field of political economy. The Wealth of Nations is a cornerstone of economic literature, influencing generations of thinkers and policymakers. Smith's ability to blend philosophy, history, and economics in a single work sets this book apart from others in the genre. By illustrating the benefits of a free-market system and advocating for limited government intervention, Smith's ideas continue to shape economic thought today. The Wealth of Nations is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the foundations of modern economics and the principles that drive economic prosperity.

This book explains Chester Barnard's management theory clearly, faithfully, and systematically. When Barnard published The Functions of the Executive in 1938, it caused a paradigm shift in the research area of management. He aimed to clarify what executives should do, and how and why, as he argued that executive functions and processes are deeply related to specialization, incentive, authority and communication, decision making, and responsibility and leadership. Thus, The Functions of the Executive is essential reading for management students. This book serves as an introductory guide for undergraduate and graduate students to help them understand Barnard's management theory. 


In addition, the book enables researchers to understand how Barnard developed his theory. He accumulated a great amount of experience in managing diverse organizations in both the private and public sectors. Then he gradually shifted his focus from scalar organizations, authority,and vertical communication to lateral organizations, responsibility, and horizontal communication. 


Finally, this book offers businesspeople helpful insights to create an innovative style of management. As a practitioner, Barnard recognized not only the importance of science but also that of art and value. Experienced businesspeople use not only formal knowledge but also their behavioral and personal knowledge, intuition, business sense, value, and executive art to understand the whole situation, balance conflicting factors, and produce creative solutions. Thus, this book also explores the management abilities that businesspeople need to develop.

Understanding the Digital Revolution and Its Influences

In "The Essays of Adam Smith," an influential collection of his essays written during the 18th century, Smith explores a range of topics, from moral philosophy to economics and the nature of human relationships. His prose is characterized by clarity and eloquence, reflecting the Enlightenment ideals of reason and empiricism. These essays are foundational texts in both moral philosophy and economic theory, merging his philosophical inquiries with practical considerations of trade and commerce, illustrating how personal ethics intertwine with broader societal dynamics. Adam Smith, often hailed as the father of modern economics, was a Scottish philosopher and economist whose groundbreaking ideas reshaped Enlightenment thought. His personal experiences and academic pursuits at the University of Glasgow informed his understanding of human behavior in economic contexts, shaping his views on altruism, self-interest, and the invisible hand of the market. These essays provide critical insight into the formative ideas that led to his monumental work, "The Wealth of Nations." I highly recommend "The Essays of Adam Smith" for readers interested in understanding the philosophical underpinnings of economic thought and social behavior. This collection not only elucidates Smith's profound insights but also serves as a vital commentary on the moral implications of economic practices, making it essential reading for students, scholars, and anyone intrigued by the interplay of ethics and economics in society.

Enriched edition. Foundational Essays in Economic Philosophy

The Essays of Adam Smith

From one of today’s most innovative ancient historians, a provocative new vision of why ancient history matters—and why it needs to be told in a radically different, global way It’s easy to think that ancient history is, well, ancient history—obsolete, irrelevant, unjustifiably focused on Greece and Rome, and at risk of extinction. In What Is Ancient History?, Walter Scheidel presents a compelling case for a new kind of ancient history—a global history that captures antiquity’s pivotal role as a decisive phase in human development, one that provided the shared foundation of our world and continues to shape our lives today. For Scheidel, ancient history is when the earliest versions of today’s ways of life were created and spread—from farming, mining, and engineering to housing and transportation, cities and government, writing and belief systems. Transforming the planet, this process unfolded all over the world, in Eurasia, Africa, and the Americas, often at different times, sometimes haltingly but ultimately unstoppably. Yet it’s rarely studied or taught that way. Since the eighteenth century, Western intellectuals have dismembered the ancient world, driven not only by their quest for professional expertise but also by nationalism, colonialism, racism, and the idealization of Greece and Rome. Specialized scholarship has fractured into numerous academic niches, obscuring broader patterns and dynamics and keeping us from understanding just how much humanity has long had in common. The time has come, Scheidel argues, to put the ancient world back together—by moving beyond the limitations of Greco-Roman “classics,” by systematically comparing ancient societies, and by exploring early exchanges and connections between them. The time has come, in other words, for an ancient history for everyone.

In The System of Professions Andrew Abbott explores central questions about the role of professions in modern life: Why should there be occupational groups controlling expert knowledge? Where and why did groups such as law and medicine achieve their power? Will professionalism spread throughout the occupational world? While most inquiries in this field study one profession at a time, Abbott here considers the system of professions as a whole. Through comparative and historical study of the professions in nineteenth- and twentieth-century England, France, and America, Abbott builds a general theory of how and why professionals evolve.

From Leonardo Da Vinci to Oliver Sacks: the first history of the western polymath, from the Renaissance to the present "An absorbing group portrait and intellectual history."--Kirkus Reviews "An admirable mixture of industry and erudition."--Robert Wilson, Wall Street Journal From Leonardo Da Vinci to John Dee and Comenius, from George Eliot to Oliver Sacks and Susan Sontag, polymaths have moved the frontiers of knowledge in countless ways. But history can be unkind to scholars with such encyclopedic interests. All too often these individuals are remembered for just one part of their valuable achievements. In this engaging, erudite account, renowned cultural historian Peter Burke argues for a more rounded view. Identifying 500 western polymaths, Burke explores their wide-ranging successes and shows how their rise matched a rapid growth of knowledge in the age of the invention of printing, the discovery of the New World and the Scientific Revolution. It is only more recently that the further acceleration of knowledge has led to increased specialization and to an environment that is less supportive of wide-ranging scholars and scientists. Spanning the Renaissance to the present day, Burke changes our understanding of this remarkable intellectual species.

Great Economic Thinkers presents an accessible introduction to the lives and works of thirteen of the most influential economists of modern times: Adam Smith, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, Alfred Marshall, Joseph Schumpeter, John Maynard Keynes, and Nobel Prize winners Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, John Forbes Nash, Jr., Daniel Kahneman, Amartya Sen, and Joseph Stiglitz. Free from confusing jargon and equations, the book describes key concepts put forward by these thinkers and shows how they have come to shape how we see ourselves and our society. Readers will consider the role played by the division of labor, wages and rents, cognitive biases, saving, entrepreneurship, game theory, liberalism, laissez-faire, and welfare economics. All of the economists featured have had a profound influence on our attitudes towards market intervention and regulation, taxation, trade, and monetary policy. Each of the chapters--all written by an acknowledged expert--combines a biographical outline of a single thinker with critical analysis of their contribution to economic thought. If you've ever wanted to find out more about the theorists who gave us the invisible hand, Marxism, Keynesianism, creative destruction, behavioral economics, and many other foundational concepts of economics, this collection of essays is the perfect place to start.
