Ein verblüffendes Hörbuch über die unheimliche Macht der Vermögensverwalter. Ihre wichtigste Eigenschaft ist die Diskretion, und ihre Aufgabe ist es, den Reichtum der Reichsten unsichtbar zu machen – während sie ihn mehren. Ganze Teams von Offshore-Experten arbeiten Tag und Nacht daran, für ihre Kunden Steuerschlupflöcher zu finden, Gesetze zu umgehen, kreative Lösungen zu finden. Der Begriff Steuerparadies, der in vielen europäischen Sprachen für Offshore verwendet wird, wirkt angesichts der libertären Anarchie, die hier herrscht, geradezu verharmlosend.

Fondrevay, an M&A expert who has led teams and brands through three separate multibillion dollar acquisitions, explores why these business transitions can be as stressful as the loss of a loved one or a move to another country.

When the government decides to spend money, it simply creates the necessary funds for itself - as if out of thin air. That's how we pay for interstate highways, post offices, wars, social services, and economic stimulus packages. If it's that easy to make money...can't we all get more of it? Absolutely. And we should. So argue financial regulation expert Robert Hockett and best-selling philosopher Aaron James in this eye-opening, irreverent, and inspiring exploration of what the dollar really is. And better still, they show how we can build an economy that works for everybody.

VC tells the riveting story of how the industry arose from the United States' long-running orientation toward entrepreneurship. Venture capital has been driven from the start by the pull of outsized returns through a skewed distribution of payoffs - a faith in low-probability but substantial financial rewards that rarely materialize. Whether the gamble is a whaling voyage setting sail from New Bedford or the newest startup in Silicon Valley, VC is not just a model of finance that has proven difficult to replicate in other countries.

It's become accepted wisdom that established companies can't build and scale new ventures the way startups can—after all, startups are lean and agile, while incumbents are too big, slow, and inflexible. But that's nonsense, and it's time to challenge that idea. Linda Yates, the founder and CEO of Silicon Valley-based Mach49, argues that to thrive, companies can and must harness their power—their ideas, talent, data, cash, resources, channels, and customers—to build a portfolio of game-changing ventures and beat the startups at their own game.

As far back as we can trace human history, there have been entrepreneurs. Almost five millennia ago, copper tool manufacturers set up a factory in what today is southwest Spain, profiting for hundreds of years from trade around the Mediterranean. Papyri document the diverse investments of an ancient Egyptian businessperson, from grain-yielding land to flax for linen cloth. What do these figures have in common with renowned modern entrepreneurs, and how do their similarities help us achieve a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship?

Inflated examines this apparent conflict and makes the argument that such a world view is so ingrained in us that to expect the United States to live in a "deflated" world is simply unrealistic.

He seemed to not have a care in the world. I asked him what it was that gave him the ability to do whatever he wanted. This audiobook is all about Petra's secret and how you can make it work for you.

The way most business leaders deploy capex right now is nothing short of a train wreck. Very few look at their asset base as a collective network; rather, they see their assets as standalone performers, have no strategy for the role each asset plays in the grand scheme of things, and, therefore, fail to invest in their network for the long term to generate more cash for the business, asset by asset. Redesigning Capex Strategy provides an effective—and almost painfully obvious—solution to some of the greatest missed opportunities happening in business today.
