Craig A: How to Own the World / B

How to Own the World

A Plain English Guide to Thinking Globally and Investing Wisely: The life-changing personal finance and investment bestseller

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

Daily Habits for Leading from Any Level

90 Days to Grow Your Influence

A unified framework for understanding monetary policy, including recent unprecedented interventions by central banks Over the past two decades, monetary policy has been deployed in unprecedented ways, as central banks attempted to mitigate the adverse consequences of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, the COVID-19 global lockdown, and recent inflationary surges. In Monetary Economics and Policy, Pierpaolo Benigno offers a new way to understand the potency and effectiveness of monetary policy, presenting a unified modeling framework to analyze policy challenges posed by both paper and digital currency systems. He investigates current theoretical and policy controversies, drawing connections with historical themes in monetary economics. Benigno examines how central banks control the value of their currency amid competition from cryptocurrencies and private money-like securities; discusses the desirability of inflation targeting for macroeconomic stabilization; and explores theoretical grounds for the unconventional monetary policies seen in the recent period of zero nominal interest rates, including forward guidance, quantitative and credit easing, and helicopter money. He accompanies his analysis with an innovative visual representation of the New Keynesian model and inflation-targeting policies. Benigno's novel framework also allows the study of monetary policy normalization through quantitative tightening toward what has become the "new normal." He discusses the optimal provision of liquidity and the different roles of the government and financial intermediaries. Finally, he recounts historical controversies regarding the inflation-unemployment trade-off to understand the 2020s inflationary surge and delves into the causes and dynamics of hyperinflations, tracing them to the subtle, ambiguous linkages between monetary and fiscal policy and weak balance-sheet conditions for the central bank.

Some connections uplift. Some deplete. All leave a mark.&nbsp;Lasting Footprints is a practical guide for professionals navigating work, leadership, and everyday relationships who want to become more intentional about the impact they have on others. Drawing on decades of experience in leadership development, organizational culture, and adult learning, Colleen Peterson blends research, real-world stories, and accessible insight to clarify what healthy relationships look like and what quietly erodes them.Positioned at the intersection of psychology, leadership, and human connection, Lasting Footprints helps emerging and experienced leaders understand the influence they carry across teams, careers, and personal relationships. It introduces a clear framework for identifying “skunks”—toxic patterns and draining dynamics that undermine trust, confidence, and collaboration—and offers practical ways to shift toward healthier interaction patterns.With reflection prompts and memorable models, the guidebook supports professionals in creating a Personal Connection Plan that strengthens both professional effectiveness and personal well-being. Rather than leaving relationships to chance, it encourages intentional choices that improve how people show up in every environment they move through.Grounded in research and real experience, Lasting Footprints challenges professionals to notice the impact they leave behind and shape their relationships with greater intention.&nbsp;

Lasting Footprints

The law codes in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region are a well-crafted blend of civil and Islamic law in which civil law principles do not violate Islamic provisions. Yet, common law principles derived either from English common law or Islamic customary usages remain unidentified and thus ignored. Here, this complex scenario is rectified through a comparative analysis of the primary data (e.g. cases, statutes and arbitral award decisions), adding common law and uncodified Islamic custom to MENA law codes. The purpose of this comparative analysis is to allow common legal principles found in civil, common and Islamic law to be distilled in order to create a new, harmonised international commercial arbitration law code (HICALC) or uniform Arab arbitration law (UAAL) for adoption in the MENA region, where these principles already greatly influence the legal systems and can be readily assimilated into a harmonised or uniform code. The work demonstrates that this new code would lead to improved arbitral award enforcement in the MENA.

The Future Belongs to Those Who See It First
Most people solve problems after they occur. Exceptional thinkers identify and address them before they emerge, and that ability to think and act preemptively will determine whether you’re the strategic planner or the one being planned for. Preemptive thinking helps executives, team leaders, and anyone else navigating high-stakes change to see problems and opportunities long before they surface and then use that clear vision of the future to shape what comes next.
In&nbsp;The Preemptive Thinking Edge, Jim Caprara draws on decades of executive leadership across organizations including iconic retailer Sears, telecommunications giant Nextel, and home builder NVR to show you how to use preemptive thinking to anticipate obstacles, eliminate unnecessary risk, and create the ideal conditions for success in business and in life. At McGraw-Hill publishing, for example, Caprara helped engineers and marketers anticipate the unique challenges they would face in selling a learning platform originally intended for academics to a business-focused audience.&nbsp; The result was a brand new market and new revenue streams for the company.
Blending practical wisdom with compelling real-world examples, the book introduces the powerful five-stage Preemptive Thinking Framework and exercises that help you put it into practice. Whether you're leading an organization, managing a team, or planning your own future, you'll learn to:
<ul>
<li>Define challenges to create a compelling vision of the future.</li>
<li>Reverse-engineer solutions by working backward from your vision.</li>
<li>Go beyond reactive—and even proactive—thinking to challenge the status quo.</li>
<li>Identify hidden opportunities, unseen risks, and valuable peripheral benefits.</li>
<li>Make smarter decisions with confidence and discipline to achieve measurable results.</li>
</ul>
More than a business strategy book,&nbsp;The Preemptive Thinking Edge&nbsp;is a practical blueprint for anyone who wants to think differently, lead more effectively, and stay ahead of change. This&nbsp;is a must-read for leaders seeking more predictable ways to create value, improve execution, and gain a lasting competitive advantage. And don't be surprised when you realize you can use the same principles to transform your personal life too.

Most of us have some investments in the form of pensions and other savings, but many are wary of investing directly in stocks and shares and fewer still understand the potential of the latest financial developments such as online trading platforms and AI. In Get Rich Slow international investor and prizewinning financial journalist Stephen Vines argues that if you inform yourself about the market and invest wisely, it's perfectly feasible for someone on an ordinary income to end up comfortably off. Aimed at ordinary investors who want to build wealth safely and steadily, this one-stop guide explains the jargon of investing from equities to derivatives and what to avoid in the form of excessive fees and the dangers of crypto. Showing you how to create a balanced portfolio of shares, bonds and other investments that can provide long-term wealth and weather the storms of financial turbulence, it creates a lifelong investment strategy that you can take into retirement and that can change as life changes.
