McMillan L: Options as a Strategic
Investment

Options as a Strategic Investment

Fifth Edition

Darkside
 Economics is a book about a different use of economics - as a weapon to coerce other economies or to defend them from coercion. There is intense interest in economic warfare which is much in the headlines today, but it has a long history of use and abuse.
The weapons covered include sanctions, embargoes, tariffs, technology restrictions, investment policy, financial tools and some other new instruments based on AI and crypto. We look at the history of these practices, explain how they work and estimate their effects, from the point of view of the aggressor, the target or other small countries. This includes strategic games, weapons retaliation, resilience-building, chokepoint mapping and supply chain management.
These tools often have negative economic effects, but they continue to be a central part of both diplomatic and military strategy, and they are happening in the trade wars all around us. Economists, policy-makers, students, the media and the informed public all need to understand them better. The radical ideas and intriguing stories in this short book will help them.

The Art of Economic Warfare

Darkside Economics

Independent, inflation-targeting central banks were supposed to deliver stable prices, financial stability and lasting prosperity. Instead, they have presided over financial crises, stagnant growth, rising inequality and the return of inflation. Yet policy makers and politicians have proved remarkably reluctant to challenge the orthodoxy. Why has this model proved so resilient-and what should replace it? In The Gods That Failed, economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that today's macroeconomic policy framework rests on five powerful myths that have shaped economic thinking since the 1980s. From the "natural" rate of interest and the management of inflation expectations to efficient financial markets and the taboos surrounding fiscal dominance and credit policy, these ideas continue to constrain policymakers even as the evidence against them becomes overwhelming. Blending colourful economic history, cutting-edge research and vivid real-world examples, Ryan-Collins opens-up the often opaque and technocratic world of monetary and financial policy for a wide readership and illustrates its fundamental flaws. At a time of repeated economic and financial shocks, ecological breakdown and geopolitical instability, The Gods That Failed argues that rebuilding our economies will require a wholesale rethinking of how central banks, governments and financial institutions work together to manage money, credit and the macroeconomy.

Foundations of Economics

Understand and navigate the coming tumultuous period of political, societal, and economic unrest In The Great Reset, noted financial expert and multiple New York Times best-selling author John Mauldin helps you understand the enormous and widespread social, political, and financial problems we are facing. Multiple different cycle theories all suggest a crisis coming at the end of the decade. Mauldin enables you to find your own personal path through them, as various crises reach a breaking point in the next few years. Analyzing the theories of leading thought leaders in the field along with viewpoints of his own, Mauldin delivers a nuanced view of historical cycles and what they tell us about the rest of this decade. In this book, readers will learn about the theories of: <ul> <li>Neil Howe, who originally predicted the very conditions we are going through today in the 90s</li> <li>George Friedman, who argues there are actually two geopolitical cycles of 50 and 80 years, and for the first time we are at the end of both concurrently, as well as the revolt against "experts" wanting to control our lives</li> <li>Peter Turchin, who focuses on the overproduction of "elites" and the disparities in income and wealth it creates and forecasts a potentially violent pushback</li> <li>Ray Dalio, who uses a 16-variable model to quantify and predict past and probable future cycles and now suggests a 40% possibility of a civil war</li> <li>Mauldin explains how the explosion of government debt will bring about the End of the Debt SuperCycle and trigger the crises mentioned above</li> </ul> Most importantly, this is ultimately an optimistic book as it predicts a powerful and positive outcome as a period of cooperation, something now inconceivable, develops as it always does during crises and the future is enhanced by amazing new technologies and fabulous opportunities on the near horizon. The Great Restart is an essential, timely read for all individuals and families seeking clarity on the problems plaguing humanity, protection from the chaos, and insight on how we can pave a profitable and better path forward for ourselves, families, friends and countries

How to Successfully Navigate the Coming Social, Geopolitical and Economic Cycles

The Great Re-Start From Crisis to Opportunity

In 1952, in a seminal paper published in the Journal of Finance, Professor Harry Markowitz called diversification "the only free lunch in finance." Of course, Markowitz went on to win the Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking work which still serves as the cornerstone of investment strategy for academics and professionals alike. And while, to this day, the concept of diversification has stood the test of time, the whole "only free lunch in finance" thing is about to go the way of the dodo (just like that expression).

You see, there's a new Little Investment in town, and as hard as it is to believe, investors can now and forevermore get started on their second free meal. What makes something a "free lunch"? How about an investment that sounds too good to be true? Though this Little Investment just doesn't seem fair and shouldn't even exist-now it does.

If you're still young, here's a way to save for retirement in a tax-advantaged way while achieving higher compounded returns. But if you're older, perhaps achieving higher portfolio returns while taking less risk is more appealing. This Little Investment can do that too! If you're from the "if this is so great, how come it hasn't been done before" school of investing, we feel your pain. But nothing can be done about that now. That's actually what makes this investment opportunity new. Investors both young and old will now, for the first time anywhere, have a chance to learn about the fascinating, fun and previously untold story behind The Little Investment that Beats the Market.

Learn a better way to invest from a bestselling author and top-performing fund manager

What if there were a better way to invest in stocks, bonds, real estate and other assets? What if this better way was simple, staring the investment world in the face for decades, but no one knew about it? What if it could help investors achieve higher returns, be more tax efficient, or even achieve the same returns with less risk? What if it were easy for both individual investors and sophisticated institutions to benefit? In other words, what if there were a new book that revealed a better way to invest that, until now, no one thought possible?

Well, ready or not, here comes The Little Investment that Beats the Market. Written simply, with humor, and a sincere desire to shake up the entire investment world. Author Joel Greenblatt is the founder of Gotham Capital and a managing principal and co-CIO of Gotham Asset Management. For over two decades, he served as a professor on the adjunct faculty of Columbia Business School. Joel is the former chairman of a Fortune 500 company, a co-founder and former chairman of the Success Academy Charter Network, and the author of The Little Book That Beats the Market (2006) and The Little Book That Still Beats the Market (2010).

24 Principles to Help You Get Out of Your Own Way

Just F*cking Do It

Advances in Japanese Business and Economics

This book is the first comprehensive account of the rules and practices─the microstructure─of the Dojima Security Exchange (DSE), the world’s first futures market. Despite worldwide interest in the DSE and its relevance to modern financial markets, it is only briefly touched upon as the earliest example of a futures market in most of the existing literature in English.&nbsp; Until the publication of this book, there has been no comprehensive account in English of the rules and practices of the DSE.The DSE emerged in Osaka, Japan, around the turn of the eighteenth century. In Tokugawa Japan (1603–1867), the shogunate and local lords levied taxes in rice and exchanged rice for currency in rice markets to finance their expenditures. Osaka had the biggest rice market in Japan throughout the Tokugawa period, and most local lords stored rice in their own warehouses in Osaka, selling rice at auctions. Successful bidders received&nbsp;“rice certificates”&nbsp;instead of rice itself, and each rice certificate could be exchanged for a pre-specified quantity of rice any time before its expiration at the issuer’s warehouse. These certificates were actively traded in the DSE.The spot market in the DSE was the market for exchanging rice certificates. In turn, the futures market was the market for the trading of nominal rice derived from one of the representative rice certificates among about 30 brands. There is no physical delivery of rice in the spot market and there is no physical delivery of rice or rice certificate in the futures market—even on the maturity date. All the futures trades at the DSE should be settled by simply paying or receiving the payoﬀ&nbsp;defined as the diﬀerence in price between the time of selling (buying) and buying back (selling back). The futures trade was called&nbsp;‘Cho-Ai-Mai’, which literally means&nbsp;‘the rice trades on the book’, and implies that there is no physical delivery of rice or rice certificate.

And How We Make It

The Good Society

The need for resilience at organisational, department and individual level has never been greater. Geopolitical conflict, climate change, supply chain disruption and political instability are just a handful of the risks that leaders must mitigate to ensure stable business operation and optimum effectiveness. Project resilience refers to the ability of a project or initiative to anticipate, adapt and recover from unexpected challenges, disruptions or uncertainties. It involves the capacity to withstand shocks, maintain functionality in the face of adversity, and quickly recover to a stable state. Resilient projects underpin resilient organisations; a resilient organisation produces sustainable competitive advantage. This book offers a structured framework - the Project Resilience Maturity Model - to assess and enhance resilience in organisations. The authors begin by considering different approaches to project resilience, and by identifying potential tensions therein. In the second part, methods of sustaining project resilience are examined, focusing on the perspective of the project manager, personal responsibility and leadership. The latter part of the textbook provides practical tools and applications to assess and enhance project resilience. Throughout, the authors employ a pedagogical framework designed to ensure maximum effectiveness for students and practitioners. Chapters are organised to reflect the evolution of project resilience maturity and concepts are introduced in a sequential order that builds on what has come before, with Key Takeaways summarising each chapter's most critical points. Fictional case studies illustrate how topics can be implemented in a project management setting, while Key and Dormant Tensions highlight potential blind spots. Demystifying complex topics without sacrificing scholarly rigour, Project Resilience provides you with a strategic approach to ensuring projects are well-equipped to withstand uncertainties and adapt to dynamic conditions. It is the perfect textbook to support advanced Project Management and Organisational Resilience courses, and to provide practical methods for leading responsible organisations.
