(法) 奥利维耶·西博尼 著;贾拥民 译 中国财政经济出版社本书作者奥利维耶·西博尼多年来一直致力于提升决策品质,他曾在麦肯锡咨询公司担任决策顾问长达25年。他发现,很多公司的商业决策乃至战略决策竟然都是错误的。在有大量的“前车之鉴”,且数据证据表明这些决策大概率会导致失败,甚至会带来灾难性后果的情况下,很多决策者依然会重蹈覆辙。认知心理学方面的研究发现,这些决策错误是由认知偏差导致的,会让决策者误入歧途,掉进决策陷阱。
因此,在这本书中,西博尼利用数十个引人入胜的案例,展示了认知偏差如何经常导致我们所有人陷入9个常见的决策陷阱的,甚至包括那些知名商业巨头。并将常见的认知偏差按照逻辑归为5种更容易记住的类别。
西博尼认为,避免认知偏差陷阱的好方法是在你的组织中构建一个有效的决策架构,而不是重复使用那些让管理者一次又一次失败的老“去偏见”技术。这是一套利用集体智慧帮助决策者做出决策的技术和流程体系,并提供了3大类共40种具体的决策技巧。这是从行为经济学和认知心理学的发展中提炼出的可操作的工具,可以帮你做出有效决策。

历史
帝国定型 :美国的1890-1900徐弃郁 著 广西师范大学出版社
1890年的美国,正面临内忧外患的局面,红利吃尽、产能过剩、老牌列强林立、国内利益集团垄断……然而,这也正是美国崛起关键十年的开始。但与以往任何国家都不同,美国走上了一种新型帝国之路:它不直接掠夺海外领土,而是以强大的生产和贸易能力控制世界。用一句话归纳,美国作为一个国家是有边界的,作为帝国则是无边界的;这种帝国发展的逻辑不是通常理解的国家逻辑,而是无孔不入的资本逻辑。
全书以1890-1900年的美国为论述对象,从这一案例中提取出“超大国家的崛起与扩张”背后的原因,力图揭示历史与现实之间的深层互动关系。

科学
现在 :时间的物理学(美) 理查德·A.穆勒 著;徐彬 译 湖南科学技术出版社
“现在”的概念看似简单,实则玄之又玄,难以捉摸。
爱因斯坦指出,时间的流动会受到速度和引力这两者的影响,但他本人也无力解释“现在”的含义,并为此而灰心。同样令人困惑的是:时间为什么会流动?一些物理学家干脆放弃理解“现在”的尝试,把时间的流动称为一种幻觉。但是,著名的实验物理学家理查德·A·穆勒对此表示反对。他说物理学应该解释实在,而不是否认实在性。
穆勒指出,标准的大爆炸理论将宇宙的不断膨胀解释为不断创造新的空间。他认为,时间也在扩张,而新生成时间的前沿就是我们所经历的“现在”。这一发人深省的观点对我们的一些重大问题有着无比重要的启示——不仅在物理学领域,而且在哲学领域,包括正在进行的关于自由意志实在性的辩论。殊为重要的是,他的理论是可检验的。穆勒的著作将引发关于我们对于宇宙最基本假设的大讨论,并可能解开物理学中最长久的谜团之一。

Politics
Disorder :hard times in the 21st centuryby Helen Thompson Oxford University Press
Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century is a long history of this present political moment. It recounts three histories - one about geopolitics, one about the world economy, and one about western democracies - and explains how in the years of political disorder prior to the pandemic the disruption in each became one big story. It shows how much of this turbulence originated in problems generated by fossil-fuel energies, and it explains why as the green transition takes place the long-standing predicaments energy invariably shapes will remain in place.

Making numbers count :the art and science of communicating numbersby Chip Heath Avid Reader Press
A clear, practical, first-of-its-kind guide to communicating and understanding numbers and data - from bestselling business author Chip Heath.
Understanding numbers is essential - but humans aren’t built to understand them. Until very recently, most languages had no words for numbers greater than five - anything from six to infinity was known as “lots.” While the numbers in our world have gotten increasingly complex, our brains are stuck in the past. How can we translate millions and billions and milliseconds and nanometers into things we can comprehend and use?
Author Chip Heath has excelled at teaching others about making ideas stick and here, in Making Numbers Count, he outlines specific principles that reveal how to translate a number into our brain’s language. This book is filled with examples of extreme number makeovers, vivid before-and-after examples that take a dry number and present it in a way that people click in and say “Wow, now I get it!”

经济发展理论 :对于利润、资本、信贷、利息和经济周期的考察(美) 约瑟夫·熊彼特 著;何畏,易家祥等 译 商务印书馆约瑟夫·阿洛伊斯·熊彼特(1883-1950年),美籍奥地利人,是当代西方著名经济学家。《经济发展理论》一书是他早期成名之作。熊彼特在这本著作里首先提出的“创新理论”(Innovation Theory),当时曾轰动西方经济学界,并且一直享有盛名。此书最先以德文发表于1912年,修订再版于1926年,越数年又重印了德文第三版。1934年,以德文修订本为依据的英译本,由美国哈佛大学出版社出版,被列为《哈佛经济丛书》第46卷。现在的中译本,据此英译本译出。
本书中,熊彼特涉猎广泛,探讨了利润、资本、信贷、利息和经济周期等重要的经济问题。而其中,最重要的是他以“创新理论”解释了资本主义的本质特征,从而闻名于资产阶级经济学界,影响颇大。因而全书最核心和最大的篇幅也是关于创新理论及其应用。全书分六章展开。第一章和第二章对从静止状态的“循环流转”到经济发展的根本现象,包括从“企业家”的特点和功能、“生产要素的新组合”、“创新”的涵义和作用,直到资本主义的产生进行了开创性的论述。第三章、第四章和第五章则进一步分别阐述了信贷与资本、企业家利润以及资本的利息等问题。第六章运用“创新理论”分析了经济周期的形成和特点。

失控的野心 :德国支付巨头Wirecard的兴衰与启迪(德) 菲利克斯·霍尔特曼 著;江剑琴 译 中国友谊出版公司
德国支付服务商Wirecard,从一家名不见经传的金融初创公司发展为国际科技巨头。20多年间业绩一直保持巨额增长,将德国商业银行赶出DAX指数,市值甚至超过了德意志银行。
然而2020年6月, Wirecard深陷财务丑闻:占资产负债表总额1/4的19亿欧元“不翼而飞”。随即企业宣告破产,一度高达240亿欧元的市值荡然无存。CEO马库斯·布劳恩被捕,COO扬·马萨利克逃逸。其他高管竞相逃跑甚至离奇死亡,情报机构也卷入其中。
Wirecard事件是德国“二战”后最大的经济丑闻。助推其走向毁灭的,不仅是企业决策者对金钱、规模和权力的失控野心,还有利益相关方的沉默与侥幸心理。作者在本书中细致追踪了Wirecard的兴衰历程,揭露了技术崇拜的弊端、投资者的贪婪以及德国金融体系的腐败,为德国乃至世界敲响了警钟。

管理
(美) 布赖恩·杜梅因 著;陈默 译 中信出版集团
作者深入采访了150多位亚马逊内外的相关人士,包括亚马逊高管、前员工、合作伙伴等,试图挖掘出亚马逊取得成功的根本原因。什么是贝佐斯经济学?为什么它会奏效?从战略布局、商业模式和企业文化入手,这本书深度剖析了亚马逊决胜商业世界的管理原则。
贝佐斯经济学建立在“三大管理原则”之上:客户至上、极致创新和长期主义。亚马逊自创立之日起,近30年来坚定地贯彻执行这三大原则,而且所有这些都得到人工智能的加持,使得亚马逊的业务形成一个良性运转的飞轮,飞轮越转越快,亚马逊的核心商业模式由此建立起来。
近年来,亚马逊的商业帝国不断扩张,除了我们熟知的零售电商外,其触角还伸向了云计算、媒体、广告、医疗,甚至金融领域。对一些人来说,贝佐斯经济学是一座金矿;对另一些人来说,贝佐斯经济学却是致命的威胁。亚马逊的影响力如此之大,几乎每一个行业的从业者都有必要了解并学习它的运作模式,从而找到应对其挑战的方式。

韧性时代 :重新思考人类的发展和进化(美) 杰里米·里夫金 著;郑挺颖,阮南捷 译 中信出版集团
《第三次工业革命》《零边际成本社会》作者,知名未来学家杰里米·里夫金重磅新作!
病毒不断涌现,气候逐步变暖,混乱程度正在不断加剧。追求效率、进步,曾经被认为是神圣不可侵犯的,现在正处于濒死边缘。一个强大的新叙事,即韧性时代,正在兴起。
在进步时代,效率是组织时间的黄金标准,刺激我们以更快的速度甚至更短的时间实现对地球资源的征用和商品化,目标是增加人类社会的财富。空间成为自然资源消耗的代名词,而政府和社会的主要作用是将自然作为财产进行管理。这使人类成为地球的主宰,但同时也导向了自然世界的毁灭。
在新的时代,效率开始让位于个体的适应性,人类社会将从偏好增长转向生态繁荣,从金融资本转向生态资本,从生产力转向可再生性,从过度消费转向生态管理,从全球化转向全球本士化。未来的人们将更加深刻地理解自己与自然的共生关系,我们每个人实际上都是一个由微生物和各种元素组成的生态系统。支持进步时代的陈旧的科学方法也被淘汰,让位于一种称为复杂自适应系统思维的新科学方法。同样,超然的理性正在失去声望,而同理心和亲生命意识成为常态。
在我们对未来感到迷茫的重要时刻,《韧性时代》为我们打开了一个充满希望的新世界,帮助我们重新思考人类的发展与进化。

中国思想 :从孔夫子到庖丁(英) 胡思德 著;郭舒佼 译;刘梁剑 校 上海文艺出版社
剑桥大学著名汉学家胡司德教授写给大家的中国思想与文化史。
在这本富有启发性的书中,胡司德教授带领我们穿越几个世纪的中国历史,从先秦的孔子、道家、法家和民间信仰,到汉代的史学、哲学与自然科学著述,以及它们对后世的深远影响。困扰着中国最聪明头脑的重大问题,不是关于我们是谁和我们是什么,而是关于我们应该如何生活,如何组织社会,以及如何确保与我们生活在一起的人和我们为之承担责任的人的福祉。通过从中国古代哲学、文学、法律文件和日常生活中广泛地援引例子,作者向我们展示了中国古代的思想如何深刻而全方面地影响了当代世界。
游世与自然生活 :庄子评传颜世安 著 湖南人民出版社庄子是战国中期伟大的思想家,他所关心的许多问题仍存在于当代,他的思考仍启迪着今人。
颜世安教授以隐者传统和道家思想为背景,以郭象所注三十三篇本《庄子》为依据,博采庄子研究众家之长,从全新角度解说庄子,阐释了庄子的游世思想和道论。
颜世安教授认为,庄子深刻理解人生天地间的孤弱与卑微,并不相信像隐士一样归隐田园、寄情山水能够解决问题,因此独倡游世,表面上随遇而安、躺平任嘲,内心却冷眼旁观、傲守孤独。揭开嬉笑怒骂的面具,庄子试图剥离世俗对人心的蒙蔽,解除人们根深蒂固的自我中心习性,从“为我”走向“无我”,还原生命的清新面貌。

泪之地 :殖民、贸易与非洲全球化的残酷历史(美) 罗伯特·哈姆斯 著;冯筱媛 译 广东人民出版社
赤道非洲残酷血腥的全球化进程
本书通过三位最早进入非洲腹地的著名冒险家的旅程,展现了欧美殖民者对赤道非洲地区残酷掠夺的历史。外部力量的介入,使赤道非洲原有的社会结构和政治制度(雨林分权统治)分崩离析,代之以殖民酋长制度、自治邦等殖民统治方式,殖民者以科学和人道主义的名义,利用贸易、欺骗等手段对原住民进行了极为残酷的剥削。全球化使西方国家完成了资本的原始积累,却使赤道非洲变得面目全非。迄今这一区域仍然是全球最贫穷、最混乱的地方之一,还在饱受内战、恐怖主义、极端贫困和海盗的困扰。

战争与沉迷 :梦想、诱惑与二战中的漫长黑夜(加) 马尔科姆·格拉德威尔 著;肖青芝 译 中信出版社《异类》《引爆点》作者格拉德威尔全新作品
二战期间,一小队被称为“轰炸机黑手党”的乌托邦空军战略家试图通过精确轰炸赢得大战,在充分研究了全新技术设备诺登投弹瞄准器后,他们认定在白天实施只针对敌方特定重要基础设施的轰炸会起作用。然而事与愿违,数次行动失败后,战局失控。随后军方高层下令更换指挥官,新指挥官李梅实施了与前任指挥官汉塞尔截然相反的区域轰炸战略,在凝固汽油弹的帮助下,李梅共轰炸了日本的67座城市,但由于轰炸造成的伤亡惨重,李梅的行为引起极大争议。
这是一个关于理想主义、实用主义、技术创新和不可估量的战争代价的故事。在书中,格拉德威尔肯定了李梅的贡献,其方式虽然粗暴,但缩短了战争的时间,在某种程度上可谓避免了更大的代价,让所有人最快地重新获得和平与繁荣。以汉塞尔为代表的“轰炸机黑手党”虽未获得成功,但格拉德威尔用大量篇幅描述并称赞了其对梦想、创新和科技的坚持,将其视为道德典范。没有坚持,原则便没有意义。汉塞尔是一个典型的堂吉诃德式人物,他的行为生动地给读者展示出好的意图如何事与愿违。格拉德威尔引出的是一个道德判断与事实判断的哲学问题,考验的是道德与人性。

索飒 著 文汇出版社
本书是国内著名的拉美研究学者索飒的代表作之一。作者以国内资深拉丁美洲研究学者的身份,潜入拉丁美洲大陆的深处,长达数月。本书的写作是一次旅行,更是一次求学,匆匆步履坚实地穿行于厄瓜多尔、秘鲁、墨西哥、古巴四国。敏锐探寻的目光捕获的不仅仅是安第斯山的雄伟、亚马逊热带雨林的旖旎、当地民众的风情,更重要的是,在探寻的目光背后有着一个人文学者的文化审视和学理追究。
面对拉美大地丰富的细节——无论是印第安底层民众的心声,拉美知识分子的觉醒,还是饱经新旧殖民主义蹂躏留下的历史疮痍,作者一面深情吟咏曾创造了玛雅文化、阿兹特克文化、印卡文化的这块丰饶大地,一面无情针砭被媚俗史学遮蔽了的罪恶殖民史。于是,温情和正义时时闪现在文采激扬的流水行文中。

Global Economic Prospects :January 2023by World Bank World Bank Group
Global Economic Prospects is a World Bank Group Flagship Report that examines global economic developments and prospects, with a special focus on emerging market and developing economies, on a semiannual basis (in January and June). Each edition includes analytical pieces on topical policy challenges faced by these economies.
In Global Economic Prospects (January 2023), global growth is projected to decelerate sharply, reflecting synchronous policy tightening aimed at containing very high inflation, worsening financial conditions, and continued disruptions from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Investment growth in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) is expected to remain below its average rate of the past two decades. Further adverse shocks could push the global economy into recession. Small states are especially vulnerable to such shocks because of the reliance on external trade and financing, limited economic diversification, elevated debt, and susceptibility to natural disasters. Against this backdrop, it is critical that EMDE policy makers ensure that any fiscal support is focused on vulnerable groups, that inflation expectations remain well anchored, and that financial systems continue to be resilient. Urgent global and national efforts are also needed to mitigate the risks of global recession and debt distress in EMDEs, and to support a major increase in EMDE investment.

How to talk to data scientists :a guide for executivesby Jeremy Elser BUSINESS EXPERT PRESS
After architecting data science programs at over a dozen companies, across sectors and scales, Dr. Elser has formulated a reliable framework for successful data science programs. Surprisingly, software and algorithms are secondary. Rather, the key is understanding how the available data aligns to the problem to be solved. The business executive understands the problem sufficiently to enforce this alignment, while data scientists act on it. But executives tend to underestimate their role and thereby fail to construct the necessary connective tissue with their data scientists.
This book provides business executives with a concrete exercise, populating a “Master Table,” accessible to nontechnical managers and data scientists, which serves as the connective tissue between them. Rather than teach a diluted version of data science, this book describes how to start projects and how to detect and fix problems—the moments when leadership is critical. Insights are provided through real world examples, including a Playbook featuring common projects. The intended audience is executives (C-suite through VP). However, ambitious mid-level managers and data scientists will also benefit.

创新之所 :城市, 科技和新经济(美) 莎伦•佐金 著; 钟晓华, 周蜀秦 译 格致出版社近年来,“创新”刺激了由科技产业领导的城市经济复兴。投资者们促进了创业生态系统的发展,政府领导者们建造了科技中心,科技社群的“布道者”联结了年轻的软件工程师与诸如亚马逊和谷歌这样的科技巨头。他们让城市转型为一个创新综合体,一方面扩大科技产业的版图,另一方面奋力控制科技产业的权力。
没有一个城市比纽约更有野心追寻这样一种愿景。它发轫于2008年经济衰退,期望创造上千家新科技公司以及成千上万个科技工作。在两届风格非常不同的市长的带领下,纽约采取了一系列举措来培育科技公司,建立科技劳动力力量。但是,科技的发展也带来了抵抗,尤其是那些反对亚马逊在皇后区设立第二总部的抗议者。
在本书中,莎伦·佐金深入分析了这些创造了纽约科技经济的人们,以及科技产业的落脚之地。她追溯了纽约对2008年金融危机的应对,以及来自美国其他地方和海外的巨大财富杠杆。通过与风险投资家、创业公司创始人和经济发展部门官员的访谈,她探索了创新之所的内涵——从编程马拉松、技术交流会、创业加速器到风投办公室、布鲁克林滨水区以及纽约的大学——新经济的规则正是由此诞生。然而,由于创新综合体形塑了城市,它增加了城市对于全球资本的依赖,虹吸了公共补贴,并产生了新的精英阶层。佐金这一大胆的观点是对纽约、乃至全球所有城市的一个警告。

情理与正义 :转型期中国社会的伦理学原理汪丁丁 著 上海人民出版社本书内容出自汪丁丁教授近年为北京大学国家发展研究院开设的EMBA课程。作者认为,要理解任何中国现象,首先要将中国现象置于三重转型期的理解框架之内,关注转型期社会的伦理行为,其中涌现的问题,激发了作者在几十年研究和思考的过程中形成了一些“原理”。本书共分四讲,先后探讨了稳态社会的伦理学基本问题、转型期社会的伦理学基本问题,以及转型期中国社会的伦理学基本问题。伦理学,广义的,蕞大适用范围的伦理学,用一句话概括,是关于社会生活的智慧。中国社会处于三重转型期,于是才有中国当代独有的人生问题与企业问题。短期行为不能产生稳定的行为预期,于是也没有正常的企业文化。这是转型期中国社会的基本状况,人人理性预期人人行为短期化。不如此预期的人,反而不理性。我们该如何求解社会生活的智慧?该如何达致人与人之间深层的情感交流?

历史
马勇 著 学苑出版社
孔子与儒学对于中国人来说,不是一个简单的文化现象,而是中国文明之根,是中国人之魂,与国人血脉相连。历史学者马勇先生积40年之功,从大历史的视角,给3000年中国儒学的发展做了鸟瞰式的描述,为读者建构了一个宏观框架:按照时间顺序,逐一介绍各个时代的儒学大师的主要成就与观点、儒家流派的基本情况、儒学与其他思想流派的交流与互补;剖析儒学是如何影响政治格局与制度的,又是如何影响社会文化与民族性格的。
马勇先生又从微观角度出发,勾勒出了3000年中国儒学的枝枝叶叶:精心整理154位儒学人物的小传、4幅儒学流派师承关系图、3000年儒学大事记、26幅珍藏彩色《孔子圣迹图》等,见微知著,用讲故事、列图表的方式,帮助读者走进3000年儒学的血肉中,感受中华文化的跳动脉搏。每个中国人的血脉里天然就有儒学的基因,读懂中国,必先读懂中国儒学;一部中国史,就在3000年儒学史里。
葛兆光 著 四川人民出版社本书是葛兆光学术随笔,共分为六部分,部分旨在为传统祛魅,对新世纪以来,国人趋之若鹜的国学热做历史角度的分析。语言轻松幽默,言说的背后又带有对当代文化的关切。是可读性与内容扎实兼备的六篇历史小品文。第二和三部分,是葛兆光多年来,治学研究的当行本色。从周边看中国,何以中国,这些当下读书界耳熟能详的命题,正是在全球化的今天,中国人如何与世界相处的一种自我定位。这里面的八篇文章,正是在这个支点上展开,有对中国典籍,特别是地图的新认识,也有多包括朝鲜、泰国(暹罗)、缅甸的新知。读来引人入胜。第四部分,名之曰游学,是作者连续三年在美国普林斯顿交流的侧写,它展现的是历史学人更为感性的一面,历史学家看历史学家,是抛去故纸堆后的英雄相见欢。第五部分,可谓之曰治学,与部分也有一定的呼应。在多年的教学中,葛兆光对人文学科、学术史、思想史都有自己的新的体验,这些体验大都是创建,也是痛定思动的反思,对后来人是一种启迪。后,一部分写作附录,其实也可叫前史,从葛兆光的来路身世,谈到他的求学,以及研究。像是他个人的一个自画像和小传。
(德) 于尔根•奥斯特哈默 著; 陈浩 译 商务印书馆本书收集了奥斯特哈默近年来在不同场合的有关全球史的学术演讲和论文,由德国著名的C. H. Beck出版社出版,在德语世界引起了很大的反响。这些文章的共同特点是兼具学术和普及性,体现了一位当代伟大历史学家恢弘的史学视野和深刻的现实关怀。奥斯特哈默在书中对全球史的基本概念,例如空间、时间、全球性等等作了廓清,并对全球史的对象例如战争、革命、帝国等等都有精辟论述。

许子东 著 上海三联书店
读100年的小说,看100年的中国。巴尔扎克说:“小说被认为是一个民族的秘史。”这一次,我们用小说打开中国!百年来,1902—1916,总被忽略的“晚清时期”;1917—1941,总被说起的“五四时期”;1942—1976,总被留白的“革命时期”;1977孕育新声,总被争论的“80年代至今”……
许子东的“20世纪小说课”,以编年体为顺序,以文本阅读为中心,“士农工商仕”中国社会各阶层分析,重新梳理20世纪中国小说的关键线索,聚焦近代、现代、当代文学史上近百部(篇)中短长篇小说。从1902年梁启超《新中国未来记》“神预言”开始,一直到2006年刘慈欣的科幻小说《三体》为止,奇遇中国100年。特别收入“生态篇”,高度还原“作家的一天”——1926年郁达夫的“恋爱”日记,1936年鲁迅晚年的“误诊”疑云,1952年巴金“同志”在朝鲜战场,1984年“寻根”韩少功在杭州会议,1994年“拜访”王安忆的上海作家生活……百年来,中国怎么会走到今天?会走向怎样的明天?《老残游记》有句话:“眼前路都是从过去的路生出来的,你走两步回头看看,一定不会错了。”
梁鸿 著 上海三联书店2010年,《中国在梁庄》首次出版,向我们展现了一个急速变化的时代下的中国村庄的变迁。十年之后,作者梁鸿再次回到故乡,重访当年的书中记述的人和事。十年当中,一切都在发生改变,又似乎全无变化:一些人永远离开了这里,一些在外漂泊的人重返此地,村庄的面貌、河流和土地都与从前不同。而人事变幻之中,梁庄和梁庄人所透露出的生机和活力却不减当年。此次回归,梁鸿用全新的视角重新审视了自己的家乡,以细腻的描写和敏锐的洞察,将梁庄的人们再次带回我们的视野,并借由对他们生活的追溯,描摹出一个普通村庄绵长而有力的生命线——这生命线既属于那些“生于斯、长于斯、死于斯”的人们,也属于身处同一股时代洪流的人们。
黄永玉 著 作家出版社黄永玉先生这一生,真正做到了明确地爱、真诚地喜欢、直接地厌恶,这是多么让人羡慕的人生状态啊。他乘着自己的小船划过众多深邃的河流,用双脚丈量过无数奇绝的高山,与那么多有趣的灵魂相伴而行,种种都可以在文字中寻到踪迹。现在,他将饱藏着自己近一个世纪生命体验的150余首诗篇完整呈现在读者面前。里面有让人心醉神往的爱情,有如骨肉如兄弟的友情,有对正义的无畏捍卫,有对丑恶的厉声呵责……文风不拘一格,肆意洒脱,达观睿智,热忱坦诚。无需在这里刻意寻找什么哲理和意义,这就是一部纯粹的、诚恳的、朴素的、坦荡的、坚定的人生剖白。黄先生走过的路让我们相信,人无论在顺境、逆境还是绝境,都可以选择正义和善良。

芯片战争 :历史与今天的半导体突围脑极体 著 北京大学出版社
今天我们很容易发现,不断升温的中美科技博弈,核心问题就在于芯片。一枚小小的芯片,究竟为何会变成制约中国科技发展的关键因素?环绕在中国外围的半导体封锁,究竟是如何一步步发展到了今天的情况?另一方面,芯片产业本身特质是高投入、高度集成化、全产业链分配。这些特质导致芯片产业必然不断发生旧秩序损坏与新规则建立,换言之,在芯片领域,“战争”是常态,而“和平共处”非常稀少。如果我们能读懂历史上已经发生的芯片战争与芯片博弈,那么也将能以效率找到今天中国芯片的突围方向。将历史经验与今天的情况结合,或许会发现,我们此刻正身处一场从未停止过的“芯片战争”。

Economics
Cogs and monsters :what economics is, and what it should beDiane Coyle Princeton University Press
Digital technology, big data, big tech, machine learning, and AI are revolutionizing both the tools of economics and the phenomena it seeks to measure, understand, and shape. In Cogs and Monsters, Diane Coyle explores the enormous problems―but also opportunities―facing economics today if it is to respond effectively to these dizzying changes and help policymakers solve the world’s crises, from pandemic recovery and inequality to slow growth and the climate emergency.
Mainstream economics, Coyle says, still assumes people are “cogs”―self-interested, calculating, independent agents interacting in defined contexts. But the digital economy is much more characterized by “monsters”―untethered, snowballing, and socially influenced unknowns. What is worse, by treating people as cogs, economics is creating its own monsters, leaving itself without the tools to understand the new problems it faces. In response, Coyle asks whether economic individualism is still valid in the digital economy, whether we need to measure growth and progress in new ways, and whether economics can ever be objective, since it influences what it analyzes. Just as important, the discipline needs to correct its striking lack of diversity and inclusion if it is to be able to offer new solutions to new problems.
The Economic Weapon :The Rise of Sanctions As a Tool of Modern WarNicholas Mulder Yale University PressEconomic sanctions dominate the landscape of world politics today. First developed in the early twentieth century as a way of exploiting the flows of globalization to defend liberal internationalism, their appeal is that they function as an alternative to war. This view, however, ignores the dark paradox at their core: designed to prevent war, economic sanctions are modeled on devastating techniques of warfare.
Tracing the use of economic sanctions from the blockades of World War I to the policing of colonial empires and the interwar confrontation with fascism, Nicholas Mulder uses extensive archival research in a political, economic, legal, and military history that reveals how a coercive wartime tool was adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the League of Nations. This timely study casts an overdue light on why sanctions are widely considered a form of war, and why their unintended consequences are so tremendous.

The Wall and the Bridge :Fear and Opportunity in Disruption's WakeGlenn Hubbard Yale University PressFree-market economists often have noted that there are winners and losers in a competitive capitalist world. The question of how to deal with the difficult real-life consequences faced by the losers, however, has largely been ignored. Populist politicians have tried repeatedly to address the issue by creating walls—of both the physical and economic kinds—to insulate communities and keep competition at bay. While recognizing the broad emotional appeal of walls, economist Glenn Hubbard argues that because they delay needed adaptations to the ever-changing world, walls are essentially backward-looking and ultimately destined to fail. Taking Adam Smith’s logic to Youngstown, Ohio, as a case study in economic disruption, Hubbard promotes the benefits of an open economy and creating bridges to support people in turbulent times so that they remain engaged and prepared to participate in, and reap the rewards of, a new economic landscape.

Sustainability:what everyone needs to knowPaul B. Thompson and Patricia E. Norris Oxford University Press
This short, accessible book written in the signature question-and-answer format of the What Everyone Needs to Know series tackles these and numerous other questions. Sustainability is a porous topic, which has been adapted and reshaped for developing ecological models, improving corporate responsibility, setting environmental and land-use policies, organizing educational curricula, and reimagining the goals of governance and democracy. Where other treatments of this topic tend to focus on just one application of sustainability, this primer encompasses everything from global development and welfare to social justice and climate change. With chapters that discuss sustainability in the contexts of profitable businesses, environmental risks, scientific research, and the day-to-day business of local government, it gives listeners a deep understanding of one of the most essential concepts of our time.

Empire of pain :the secret history of the Sackler dynastyby Patrick Radden Keefe Doubleday
The history of the Sackler dynasty is rife with drama - baroque personal lives; bitter disputes over estates; fistfights in boardrooms; glittering art collections; Machiavellian courtroom maneuvers; and the calculated use of money to burnish reputations and crush the less powerful. The Sackler name has adorned the walls of many storied institutions - Harvard, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oxford, the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations to the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing a blockbuster painkiller that was the catalyst for the opioid crisis.
This is the saga of three generations of a single family and the mark they would leave on the world, a tale that moves from the bustling streets of early 20th-century Brooklyn to the seaside palaces of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Cap d’Antibes to the corridors of power in Washington, DC. Empire of Pain chronicles the multiple investigations of the Sacklers and their company, and the scorched-earth legal tactics that the family has used to evade accountability.

原则 :应对变化中的世界秩序(美) 瑞·达利欧 著; 崔苹苹, 刘波 译 中信出版集团
自然界的发展是有规律的,而任何事物都按其固有的轨迹运行。人们能够用一定的方法去认识它、体验它、并按照客观规律改造它。从《原则》《债务危机》到《原则:应对变化中的世界秩序》,桥水投资公司创始人瑞·达利欧的研究角度涉及个体、组织、社会和世界。他想揭示的是个体的生活和工作原则、组织机构的运转原则、国家和社会的兴衰原则、世界秩序的变化原则。
在这本书中,瑞·达利欧探究的是社会和世界的运行规律和原则,他考察了500年财富和权力的所有重大变化背后反复出现的模式和因果关系。他认为在这些变化背后存在着永恒普适的规律。通过考察许多相互关联的历史事件,可以看到这些变化的典型模式、规律、周期和因果关系,并以此为基础推断未来。
达利欧认为,历史通常也是通过相对明确的生命周期、随着一代人向下一代人的过渡而逐步演进的。所有帝国和王朝都是在典型的大周期中崛起和衰落的,可以就此判断自己所处的位置,以此判断之后的走向。目前相对财富、权力和世界秩序正在发生典型的巨变,这将对所有国家的每个人都产生深远的影响……
(德) 弗洛里安韦 著 ; 全栎 译 四川人民出版社谈判是高难度且复杂的,却几乎遍布在工作和生活的每个角落。每一次信息的交换、每一次简单的沟通、每一个项目的推进、每一场突如其来的改变,都需要谈判作为支撑。如何让谈判变得简单、高效是现代人不可或缺的技能。从这本书中,你能学到:
着眼于利益,而非立场。立场说的是你想要什么,利益说的是你为什么想要。说服对方好的方式是使用他们自己认为公平和公正的标准。利益冲突可视为每个谈判的出发点,要以中立的角度看待。不要被自己的底线锚定了,否则你会缺少野心,白白错过扩大自身利益的机会。你要在坚持自己观点的同时,还能表现出自己的共情能力。如果你倾向于早早地让步或妥协,那么你就是在为他人谈判。不要害怕谈判僵局,这是摆脱低效谈判模式的绝好机会。谈判是一种创造力,是一种使命,是你赢得胜利的灵魂!

易中天 著 浙江文艺出版社
第24卷《命运和选择》是中华史系列的总结之卷,易中天带你快速闪回,从3700年以前洛阳盆地上"中国崛起"开始,鸟瞰西周如何以政治智慧构建起华夏文明圈,又怎么把"产权不清"的锅甩给了子孙,再经战国两百年试错、变法与争鸣,中华终于步入帝国时代。此后,中华帝国史鲜明地分作四段:秦汉至三国410年,创建期;三国魏晋南北朝400年,试错、探索、整合期;隋唐两宋683年,高峰期;一气呵成的元明清647年,定型期。
一路走来,我们选择了变邦国为帝国;选择了独尊儒术,融合佛道;选择了打通南北,融合胡汉;遗憾的是,也曾选择了闭关自守,并以幻想自欺。为什么是这些选择,而不是其他?请看《命运和选择》的回答。
现代中国的形成 :1600-1949李怀印 著 广西师范大学出版社今天的中国究竟从何而来?现代中国何以能避免多族群帝国崩溃和分裂的命运,建立一个高度有效且长期稳定的国家?其疆域构成、族群组合和政权形态具有何种历史合理性与独特性?今后的中国国家能否继续维持“既大且强”的格局?本书令人信服地回答了以上极具挑战性的问题。
本书是一部视野宏大、新见迭出的中国近现代史著作。全书主要围绕对现代中国形成过程的重新认识问题,以及中国近代史的历史书写本身所存在的问题两方面展开研究。作者从全球史的视角,着眼于地缘政治、财政军事和政治认同三个要素,全面论述十七至二十世纪现代中国的形成过程,在世界历史的视野下探寻现代中国形成的独特路径。全书视野宽广,内容丰富,见解独到,对于试图理解现代中国之过去与未来的研究者和普通读者来说,都是一部不容错过的精彩著作。
(日) 川胜义雄 著; 林晓光 译 九州出版社从秦汉到隋唐帝国之间的魏晋南北朝,经历了三百多年的大分裂时期。这是群雄割据的混乱时代,也是文学艺术、思想文化波澜壮阔的时代。本书宏观地聚焦于这三百多年乱世的种种因素和历史发展脉络,以超越政权、超越时代的广阔视野,跳出王朝更替、权力斗争等短时段的政治纷纭,综合性地考察魏晋南北朝政治史和文化史的交织,追踪在其中顽强生存着的“贵族制社会”的变迁轨迹,并重点介绍中国文明的结构和特点,探究华夏文明惊人的一贯性与强韧性。
刘勃 著 上海文艺出版社这是“刘勃说书”系列的第二本。三国还未归晋,曹刘已成传说。故事流传千年,方有《三国演义》。解读三国的常见套路,是用史料纠错演义;本书反其道而行之,探究史实如何被大众审美和文人趣味塑造成型——犹如看见两位美女,是如何一步步化妆乃至整容的——这无疑是极有趣的。
革命的形成 :清季十年的转折罗志田 著 商务印书馆清季十年间,朝廷正以前所未有的速度和广度推行全面改革,却恰于此时爆发了革命。这一历史大变局,留下了诸多疑问:在朝廷没有并无太多暴戾苛政的情形下,为何会发生革命?清朝何以骤然崩溃,革命何以轻易速成?
改革开启后,一个根本的问题,就是体制或结构及政治伦理是否改变、怎样改变及以何种速度改变。正是由于制度的困境,使自上而下的新政带有了“自毁”的意味,并终不得不让位于自下而上的革命。
宋代中国的改革 :王安石及其新政(美) 刘子健 著, 张钰翰 译 上海人民出版社本书在既有研究成果的基础上,重新阐释了王安石变法的重点及其失败的原因。全书以王安石变法为主线,将北宋中后期的历史分为变法、反变法和后变法三个阶段,完整地叙述了北宋后期士大夫政治全局的演变。作者指出,王安石的理想是实现儒家的道德社会,在这一点上,王安石与他的反对者并无二致。问题在于王安石希望通过改造、建立新的官僚体制以实现这一理想。由此,作者着重分析了王安石的官僚体制改革,聚焦吏役次官僚制,考察新政的政府运作,并以募役法这一新政核心制度作为个案研究,总结归纳新政的特点。本书的关注点不仅在于王安石变法本身,更在于王安石所代表的儒家道德理想主义与现实政治权力结构之间的矛盾与纠葛。这也是本书的重要特色与价值之所在。

(美) 托马斯·亚瑟·毕森 著; (加拿大) 李彦 译 人民文学出版社
这是一部极具党史价值和现实意义的纪实作品,是美国学者毕森1937年6月到访延安的见闻与记录,是中国共产党延安时期革命实践和思想理论的重要见证。
作者托马斯•亚瑟•毕森是上世纪30年代美国著名的亚洲问题研究专家,是《红星照耀中国》作者埃德加•斯诺的好朋友。1937年6月卢沟桥事变前夕,在斯诺的帮助下,毕森与其他几位美国同行一起,悄悄奔赴延安,亲眼见证了当年中国社会的动荡现实与革命圣地的烽火岁月,采访了、朱德、周恩来等红军领袖,并将这些见闻与采访用铅笔记在两个笔记本上,真实记录了延安时期中国共产党人的初心、理想和奋斗实践。
除了文字记录之外,毕森一行还拍摄了大量珍贵的照片,有从西安到延安的沿途景象,有延安根据地的日常生活,尤其难得的是捕捉到许多正值盛年的中国共产党领袖们的面容与身姿。这些珍贵的笔记和照片,不仅能呈现早期中国共产党人的容貌风采、精神信念和理想光芒,更是从一位西方学者更加客观和切实的角度,证明了中国共产党的使命初心、中国革命的正义性和历史必然性,是对中国共产党一百年辉煌而艰辛历程的有力补充和证明。尤其值得关注的是,自作者到访延安80多年以来,这些笔记仅于1973年由加州大学伯克利分校出版过英文版,之后再未出版。本次是首次在中国出版单行本。

Economics
The economic weapon :the rise of sanctions as a tool of modern warby Nicholas Mulder Yale University Press
Economic sanctions dominate the landscape of world politics today. First developed in the early twentieth century as a way of exploiting the flows of globalization to defend liberal internationalism, their appeal is that they function as an alternative to war. This view, however, ignores the dark paradox at their core: designed to prevent war, economic sanctions are modeled on devastating techniques of warfare.
Tracing the use of economic sanctions from the blockades of World War I to the policing of colonial empires and the interwar confrontation with fascism, Nicholas Mulder uses extensive archival research in a political, economic, legal, and military history that reveals how a coercive wartime tool was adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the League of Nations. This timely study casts an overdue light on why sanctions are widely considered a form of war, and why their unintended consequences are so tremendous.

Finance
Trillions :how a band of Wall Street renegades invented the index fund and changed finance foreverby Robin Wigglesworth Portfolio / Penguin
From the Financial Times' global finance correspondent, the incredible true story of the iconoclastic geeks who defied conventional wisdom and endured Wall Street's scorn to launch the index fund revolution, democratizing investing and saving hundreds of billions of dollars in fees that would have otherwise lined fat cats' pockets.
In Trillions, Financial Times journalist Robin Wigglesworth unveils the vivid secret history of an invention Wall Street wishes was never created, bringing to life the characters behind its birth, growth, and evolution into a world-conquering phenomenon. This engrossing narrative is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand modern finance - and one of the most pressing financial uncertainties of our time.
The power law :venture capital and the making of the new futureby Sebastian Mallaby Penguin PressInnovations rarely come from “experts.” Elon Musk was not an “electric car person” before he started Tesla. When it comes to improbable innovations, a legendary tech VC told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. It is the nature of the venture-capital game that most attempts at discovery fail, but a very few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else. That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives the VC business, all of Silicon Valley, the wider tech sector, and, by extension, the world.
In The Power Law, Sebastian Mallaby has parlayed unprecedented access to the most celebrated venture capitalists of all time—the key figures at Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Accel, Benchmark, and Andreessen Horowitz, as well as Chinese partnerships such as Qiming and Capital Today—into a riveting blend of storytelling and analysis that unfurls the history of tech incubation, in the Valley and ultimately worldwide. We learn the unvarnished truth, often for the first time, about some of the most iconic triumphs and infamous disasters in Valley history, from the comedy of errors at the birth of Apple to the avalanche of venture money that fostered hubris at WeWork and Uber.
The future of money :how the digital revolution is transforming currencies and financeby Eswar S. Prasad Harvard University PressEswar Prasad explains the world of finance is at the threshold of major disruption that will affect corporations, bankers, states, and indeed all of us. The transformation of money will fundamentally rewrite how ordinary people live.
Above all, Prasad foresees the end of physical cash. The driving force won't be phones or credit cards but rather central banks, spurred by the emergence of cryptocurrencies to develop their own, more stable digital currencies. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies themselves will evolve unpredictably as global corporations like Facebook and Amazon join the game. The changes will be accompanied by snowballing innovations that are reshaping finance and have already begun to revolutionize how we invest, trade, insure, and manage risk.
Prasad shows how these and other changes will redefine the very concept of money, unbundling its traditional functions as a unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value. The promise lies in greater efficiency and flexibility, increased sensitivity to the needs of diverse consumers, and improved market access for the unbanked. The risk is instability, lack of accountability, and erosion of privacy. A lu
Warren Buffett :inside the ultimate money mindby Robert G. Hagstrom WileyWhat exactly is a Money Mind? At one level, it's a way of thinking about major financial issues such as capital allocation. At another level, it summarizes an overall mindset for successfully investing in today’s fast-paced stock market, a mindset that depends on a commitment to learning, adapting, and facing down irrelevant noise.
This is not a method book. It is a thinking book.
Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind explains the philosophies of self-reliance, stoicism, rationalism, and pragmatism and their contributions to making intelligent investment decisions. It also outlines the evolution of value investing, discusses how to develop a business-driven investing mindset, and describes the defining traits of successful active management. Lastly, it examines the surprising aspects of a Money Mind – sportsman, teacher, and artist.

Liu offers hilarious and insightful advice on everything from landing an interview to self-promotion to getting paid. You’ll discover: How to get that job you always wanted; Why career longevity and “success” comes from doing the least amount of work for the most pay; How mastering cognitive biases and understanding human nature can help you win the rat race; How to make people think you’re the smartest person in the room without actually being the smartest person in the room; How to make sure you do everything in your power to get paid well (or at least not get screwed too badly); How to turn any weakness or liability into an asset to further your career.

Simple truths of leadership :52 ways to be a servant leader and build trustby Ken Blanchard, Randy Conley Berrett-Koehler
Effective leadership is an influence process where leaders implement everyday, commonsense approaches that help people and organizations thrive. Yet somehow, many of these fundamental principles are still missing from most workplaces. In Simple Truths of Leadership, legendary servant leadership expert Ken Blanchard, whose books have sold millions of copies worldwide, and his colleague Randy Conley, known and recognized for his many years of thought leadership and expertise in the field of trust, share fifty-two Simple Truths about leadership that will help leaders everywhere make commonsense leadership common practice.
Lead with hospitality :be human, emotionally connect, serve selflesslyby Taylor Scott Matt Holt BooksSpeaker, consultant, and hospitality industry veteran Taylor Scott knows that the most effective leaders approach their roles with heart, emotionally connecting with their team members before attempting to manage them. In Lead with Hospitality, Scott draws from his two decades in leadership roles at respected hotels, resorts, and restaurants. He distills the principles of gracious hospitality, translating them into actionable leadership lessons which apply in any industry, such as: how making people feel welcome fosters loyalty and keeps workers engaged with an organization's purpose; how serving people with empathy and compassion sparks workers' highest productivity; how making people feel comfortable encourages exploration, curiosity, and discovery while inviting everyone to lean into their creativity; and how making people feel significant drives them to deliver their best work. He also shares specific, practical steps you can take to put these principles into action.
Reach :Create the Biggest Possible Audience for Your Message, Book, or Causeby Becky Robinson Berrett-Koehler PublishersAnyone who makes the bold decision to put their ideas out into the world wants to reach as many people as possible. Unfortunately, too many think it’s a question of numbers—the more people you can get in front of, the better. But true reach is about expanding your audience while making a meaningful and enduring difference that has a lasting impact.
Reach provides a clear and structured approach to creating a successful online presence that will create the biggest possible impact for any message. Becky Robinson shares a framework to cultivate followers that requires four commitments: value, consistency, endurance, and generosity. When you make these four commitments, you’ll deliver memorable content on a regular basis while keeping the long-term view in mind and being committed to helping and sharing with others.

Business Enterprises
The cult of We :WeWork, Adam Neumann, and the great startup delusionby Eliot Brown and Maureen Farrell Crown
WeWork would be worth $10 trillion, more than any other company in the world. It wasn’t just an office space provider. It was a tech company - an AI startup, even. Its WeGrow schools and WeLive residences would revolutionize education and housing. One day, mused founder Adam Neumann, a Middle East peace accord would be signed in a WeWork. The company might help colonize Mars. And Neumann would become the world’s first trillionaire.
This was the vision of Neumann and his primary cheerleader, SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son. In hindsight, their ambition for the company, whose primary business was subletting desks in slickly designed offices, seems like madness. Why did so many intelligent people - from venture capitalists to Wall Street elite - fall for the hype? And how did WeWork go so wrong?
Tata :the global corporation that built Indian capitalismby Mircea Raianu Harvard University PressNearly a century old, the grand façade of Bombay House is hard to miss in the historic business district of Mumbai. This is the iconic global headquarters of the Tata Group, a multinational corporation that produces everything from salt to software. After getting their start in the cotton and opium trades, the Tatas, a Parsi family from Navsari, Gujarat, ascended to commanding heights in the Indian economy by the time of independence in 1947. Over the course of its 150-year history Tata spun textiles, forged steel, generated hydroelectric power, and took to the skies. It also faced challenges from restive workers fighting for their rights and political leaders who sought to curb its power.
In this sweeping history, Mircea Raianu tracks the fortunes of a family-run business that was born during the high noon of the British Empire and went on to capture the world’s attention with the headline-making acquisition of luxury car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover. The growth of Tata was a complex process shaped by world historical forces: the eclipse of imperial free trade, the intertwined rise of nationalism and the developmental state, and finally the return of globalization and market liberalization. Today Tata is the leading light of one of the world’s major economies, selling steel, chemicals, food, financial services, and nearly everything else, while operating philanthropic institutions that channel expert knowledge in fields such as engineering and medicine.

Statistics
The data detective :ten easy rules to make sense of statisticsby Tim Harford Riverhead Books
Today we think statistics are the enemy, numbers used to mislead and confuse us. That’s a mistake, Tim Harford says in The Data Detective. We shouldn’t be suspicious of statistics - we need to understand what they mean and how they can improve our lives: they are, at heart, human behavior seen through the prism of numbers and are often “the only way of grasping much of what is going on around us”. If we can toss aside our fears and learn to approach them clearly - understanding how our own preconceptions lead us astray - statistics can point to ways we can live better and work smarter.
As “perhaps the best popular economics writer in the world” (New Statesman), Tim Harford is an expert at taking complicated ideas and untangling them for millions of readers. In The Data Detective, he uses new research in science and psychology to set out ten strategies for using statistics to erase our biases and replace them with new ideas that use virtues like patience, curiosity, and good sense to better understand ourselves and the world. As a result, The Data Detective is a big-idea book about statistics and human behavior that is fresh, unexpected, and insightful.

Psychology
Think again :the power of knowing what you don't knowby Adam Grant Viking
Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval - and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become.
Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds - and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.

Biography
The contrarian :Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley's pursuit of powerby Max Chafkin Penguin Press
Since the days of the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s, no industry has made a greater impact on the world than Silicon Valley. And few individuals have done more to shape Silicon Valley than Peter Thiel. The billionaire venture capitalist and entrepreneur has been a behind-the-scenes operator influencing countless aspects of our contemporary way of life, from the technologies we use every day to the delicate power balance between Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Washington. But despite his power and the ubiquity of his projects, no public figure is quite so mysterious.
In the first major biography of Thiel, Max Chafkin traces the trajectory of the innovator's singular life and worldview, from his upbringing as the child of immigrant parents and years at Stanford as a burgeoning conservative thought leader to his founding of PayPal and Palantir, early investment in Facebook and SpaceX, and relationships with fellow tech titans Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Eric Schmidt. The Contrarian illuminates the extent to which Thiel has sought to export his values to the corridors of power beyond Silicon Valley, including funding the lawsuit that destroyed the blog Gawker and strenuously backing far-right political candidates, notably Donald Trump for president in 2016.

宋志平 著 机械工业出版社三精管理的指导思想和管理理念体现为全员参与、持续改进、系统优化。
全员参与:每个人都是三精管理的践行者和维护者,实施三精管理必须要从“人”上下功夫。实施三精管理的企业激发了员工“整个人”的才干和智慧,而没实施三精管理的企业可能只发挥了员工的“一双手”的作用。
持续改进:坚持目标导向,紧盯细节、深入分析,不断发现问题,以持续创新的思维寻求突破、以精益求精的态度努力改进。不断挑战现状,时刻牢记三精管理的征程上没有好,只有更好。
系统优化:三精管理的着眼点必须是全要素的,而不能割裂到每条业务线上各自推动。如果各自为政,只追求本业务线内极致的效率和效益,而不着眼于整个系统的布局、运转、优化、提升,那么就会导致“孤岛效应”,可能反而影响整个系统的效率和效益。

哲学
我非我脑 :21世纪的精神哲学(德) 马库斯•加布里尔 著; 王培 译 重庆出版社
对自我的认识始终是哲学的核心主题。在过去的几十年里,随着神经科学家对大脑研究的逐步深入,主张自我等同于大脑,大脑中的生物化学反应决定了我们一切思想和行为的观念渐成主流。
哲学教授马库斯·加布里尔却犀利指出,将精神的产生理解成生物过程的观念是对自我理解的扭曲和退化。他从康德、莱布尼茨、费希特、谢林等哲学大师的思想中汲取养分,以新实在论和新存在主义为根基,借用思想实验、生活事例和人们耳熟能详的文学作品、科幻影视剧,逻辑严明又妙趣横生地探讨了意识、自我意识等有关自我的核心概念,以及精神与大脑的关系这一精神哲学的核心问题,对形形色色的神经中心主义进行了批判,并提出与主流思潮相抗衡的“自我不是大脑”的观点。
加布里尔还对“自由意志”这一哲学概念进行了全新的辩护:人并非生物机器,人始终拥有自主选择的自由。加布里尔对人类自主与尊严的重申,为21世纪人工智能时代的精神哲学开启了新的视野。

探掘梵迹 :中国佛教美术考古概说杨泓 著 生活•读书•新知三联书店佛教自印度传入中国,历时千年兴灭,在中华大地留下了大量的石窟寺、佛寺等遗迹,创造出为数众多的精美造像、壁画等文物,成为历史时期考古学的一项专门分支,成果显著。除了敦煌莫高窟、法门寺地宫等的考古发现,云冈、龙门、炳灵寺、麦积山等闻名于世的石窟群,近些年在山东青州,河北曲阳、邺城等地出土的造像窖藏亦引起社会各界的广泛关注。西藏阿里地区,九十年代以来也陆续清理出多处重要的藏传佛教寺院遗迹,更新了世人对于佛教传播历史的认识。凡此种种,于普通读者可能缺乏一个清晰系统的认知。本书通过石窟寺、窟前建筑、佛教寺院、地下窖藏、佛塔舍利几项专题,提纲挈领地呈现出我国佛教考古事业的全貌,使读者对于中国佛教美术遗迹的时空分布了然于胸。
葛剑雄写史 :中国历史的二十个片断葛剑雄 著 上海书店出版社从春秋、秦汉、三国、南北朝,到唐、五代、宋、元、明、清,复旦大学资深教授葛剑雄选取了其间二十个重要的历史片断,夹叙夹议,以点带面,进行了照相式的呈现。其中有对今人不太注意的历史事件的细致挖掘,也有对今人错误的历史认识的颠覆性纠正。一代枭雄王莽,是“阴谋家”还是“改革先锋”?迁都之举,北魏孝文帝是盖世英雄还是千古罪人?“天可汗”唐太宗为何三番五次要看史官记录?

艺术
中国绘画 :远古至唐(美) 巫鸿 著 上海人民出版社
从岩石上的神秘图像,到陶器、建筑上的纹饰与壁画,绘画的二维平面如何产生?从陶瓮上的鹳鱼石斧图,到彩绘漆盒上人物与时空交叠的空间性图画,器物表面的写实绘画如何引发了画像的独立?楚汉墓葬礼仪艺术展现的个绘画高潮如何联系着后世佛教壁画和卷轴画的繁荣发展?名家辈出的宫廷艺术与臻于极盛的公共宗教艺术在朝野间的争奇斗艳如何塑造了富有变化和新意的盛唐气象?
在中国绘画三千年的漫长历史中,以唐末为节点的早期绘画担负着开发绘画媒材的宏大历史职责,无名画家的集体创作在日常生活和宗教礼仪环境中扮演着重要的角色,不同于以卷轴画为大宗的后世绘画,考古材料中所反映出的不同时期、地域和画手的风格变化,使得这段绘画史具有了研究方法上的独特性格。
画里浮生 :中国画的隐秘记忆金哲为 著 上海古籍出版社这是一本趣味解读中国古画的新颖之作,除了通常的绘画风格讲解、作品流传介绍等,作者更侧重于还原古画背后的历史情境和人物遭遇,沉浸式地讲述画家和文人背后的“意难平”。
全书将100多幅中国画背后的故事分为六种人生境遇来解读,大到王朝的兴衰更替,小到一个寻幽者的细腻情思,作者总能从古诗文集、笔记杂谈、方志族谱、书画题跋中采撷出有趣的史料,带你回到那尘封已久、富有温度的历史现场。读者不仅可以了解中国画的具体细节,还可以读懂唐玄宗、韩熙载、王维、苏东坡、司马光、唐伯虎等人的内心情绪,感受他们在大历史背景下的喜怒哀乐。

Investing amid low expected returns :making the most when markets offer the leastby Antti Ilmanen Wiley
In Investing Amid Low Expected Returns: Making the Most When Markets Offer the Least, renowned institutional investor advisor Dr. Antti Ilmanen delivers a timeless—and timely—treatment of strategic investment processes in times of low returns.
The author outlines the low expected return challenge now facing investors due to the past four-decade stretch that has seen markets with ever-increasing valuations and realized returns with falling yields. Assuming high realized returns will persist, especially in an era of low starting yields, is therefore complacent.
The key building blocks to improving long-run returns—including major asset class premia, illiquidity premia, style premia, and the always elusive alpha—are discussed as well, with extensive empirical evidence used to bolster the book’s exploration of the most reliable sources of investment returns.
Readers will learn how to construct an efficient portfolio from these building blocks as well as how to manage risk and control costs, informed by detailed descriptions of competing investment models and best practices amongst large institutional asset owners.

Trust & inspire :how truly great leaders unleash greatness in othersby Stephen M.R. Covey, et al. Simon & Schuster
We have a leadership crisis today, where even though our world has changed drastically, our leadership style has not. Most organizations, teams, schools, and families today still operate from a model of “command and control,” focusing on hierarchies and compliance from people. But because of the changing nature of the world, the workforce, work itself, and the choices we have for where and how to work and live, this way of leading is drastically outdated.
Stephen M.R. Covey has made it his life’s work to understand trust in leadership and organizations. In his newest and most transformative book, Trust and Inspire, he offers a simple yet bold solution: to shift from this “command and control” model to a leadership style of “trust and inspire.” People don’t want to be managed; they want to be led. Trust and Inspire is a new way of leading that starts with the belief that people are creative, collaborative, and full of potential. People with this kind of leader are inspired to become the best version of themselves and to produce their best work. In this “beautifully written page-turner” (Amy Edmondson, Harvard Business School professor), Covey offers the solution to the future of work: where a dispersed workforce will be the norm, necessitating trust and collaboration across time zones, cultures, personalities, generations, and technology.

Without being annoying.

Lambros WileyThe first generation of CISOs learned that with confidence you can cast cybersecurity as a black art that cannot be measured.

How the future works :leading flexible teams to do the best work of their livesby Brian Elliott, Sheela Subramanian, and Helen Kupp WileyThe way we work has changed. The era of toiling from nine-to-five, five-days-a-week in the office is now a relic of the past, and is being replaced by a better way—flexible work. But flexibility means a lot more than a day or two a week to “work from home”: 93% of your employees want more flexibility in when, not just where, they work. They want choice and they are leaving their roles to find it. The most successful leaders will go much further than offering occasional remote workdays—they will redesign every aspect of how work gets done, from defining how they measure organizational success to training their managers to make it happen.
This book offers a blueprint for using flexible work to unlock the potential of your people. The book offers the steps necessary to building the new principles and guardrails to empower flexible, high-performing teams. And it teaches readers to lead with purpose, to manage and measure differently, and to believe that by letting go, they’ll get more back than they thought possible.
LOVED :How to Rethink Marketing for Tech Productsby Martina Lauchengco WileyGood product marketing is the difference between products that lead their markets and those that go nowhere, yet it remains widely misunderstood.
In this book, Silicon Valley veteran Martina Launchengco delivers a clear and intuitive guide to craft strategies to bring your product to market, apply customer insights, shape how the world sees your product, and inspire customers to be evangelists. You'll learn these four fundamentals of best-in-class product marketing plus how to implement them, hire for them, and lead and organize the role for maximum impact.
Using stories grounded in her own experiences as well as examples from the front lines of leading companies like Apple, Dropbox, Microsoft, Netflix, and Salesforce, this book provides one-sheet frameworks and agile marketing practices to simplify and elevate your product marketing.

The cold start problem :how to start and scale network effectsby Andrew Chen Harper Business
A startup executive and investor draws on expertise developed at the premier venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and as an executive at Uber to address how tech’s most successful products have solved the dreaded "cold start problem”—by leveraging network effects to launch and scale toward billions of users.
What exactly are network effects? How do teams create and build them into their products? How do products compete in a market where every player has them? Andrew Chen draws on his experience and on interviews with the CEOs and founding teams of LinkedIn, Twitch, Zoom, Dropbox, Tinder, Uber, Airbnb, and Pinterest to offer unique insights in answering these questions. Chen also provides practical frameworks and principles that can be applied across products and industries.
The Cold Start Problem reveals what makes winning networks thrive, why some startups fail to successfully scale, and, most crucially, why products that create and compete using the network effect are vitally important today.

经济
滕泰, 张海冰 著 中译出版社
通胀关系到国计民生,关系到社会安定。通胀一旦出现,长期代价不可避免。经过多年低通胀之后,全球通胀以新的形态卷土重来。美国等国家的消费者物价指数(CPI)创下近40年以来的新高,德国等国家的生产者价格指数(PPI)更是创70年来新高。世界各国面临的是长期通胀还是短期价格上扬?如何衡量货币冲击、供给冲击对经济增长动力和物价的影响?会不会在巨大的全球通胀“灰犀牛”背后,还跟着一只经济衰退的“黑天鹅”?全球通胀将对中国经济增长、生产者和消费者、资本和资产市场造成哪些影响?
本书生动描述了从各国货币超发、资产价格上涨、过剩产能吸收到全球物价上涨的传导过程,并从能源原材料供给冲击、劳动供给冲击、全球供应链冲击、微观价格形成机制变化等不同角度,对后疫情时代的全球物价与增长做出了全方位的深入分析。
(美) 卡尔•伯格斯特龙, 杰文•韦斯特 著; 胡小锐 译 中信出版社“用数据说话”是互联网时代的通用思维方式,有人说数据不会骗人,真的是这样吗?
让人看不懂的数据分析和神奇算法;莫名奇妙的数学方程;强行联系因果的统计学论文;某些新闻报道或PPT中花里胡哨的图表……我们都曾经或正在被这些东西蒙蔽,却往往毫无察觉,甚至乐在其中!
一些貌似可靠的数据来源,也可能藏着一本正经的胡说八道。比如TED演讲中的统计数字、《纽约时报》等媒体报道的大数据分析新算法、甚至是医学期刊中的诊断数据……虚假信息都有可能鱼目混珠,而你能分辨其中哪些是真正有用的信息,哪些只是胡扯吗?
对此,华盛顿大学专门开发了一门尚未开课即爆满的公开课,而这本书正是源自这门引发热议的课程。两位作者花了多年时间研究打着数学和统计学幌子的胡扯,犀利幽默地对它们分门别类一一剖析,帮助我们培养批判性思维,有效分析海量数据和观点,拆穿无用数据的精致伪装,在信息时代做个游刃有余的明白人。
(美) 威廉•诺德豪斯 著; 李志青, 李传轩, 李瑾 译 中信出版社诺奖得主威廉·诺德豪斯对环境经济学研究的集大成之作。该书对绿色思维进行了创新性诠释,为我们在不将环境负担留给后代的情况下推动经济繁荣发展提供了新思路。
绿色思维的核心是需要认识到,世界不是孤岛,全球化的世界充满各种各样的互动,而找到合适的方法管理这些互动是解决世界重大问题如气候灾难、大流行病等的关键。本书从绿色思维的角度重新思考了经济效率、可持续性、税收制度设计、个人伦理、企业社会责任、ESG投资以及社会公平等问题,还就如何为碳定价、推行低碳技术、设计有效的环境税以及通过气候俱乐部促进国际合作提供了具体的解决方案。
(英) 亚历克斯•爱德蒙斯 著 中国人民大学出版社传统的经济学理论认为,利润化就是企业存在的目的。本书建立了一个全新框架,说明并非如此。作者认为:分蛋糕思维甚至抢蛋糕思维负面影响非常大,让企业、个人和社会陷入零和博弈的陷阱中。抢蛋糕不如做大蛋糕。
为什么以利润化为目标,往往实现不了利润化?为什么致力于增进社会价值,往往会在不经意间实现巨大的利润?如何权衡取舍,实现商业价值和社会责任的双赢?
本书从经济学理论出发,用案例和强有力的论证,论述了企业如何确立宗旨、“做大蛋糕”,并说明,当企业以宗旨为导向、增进社会价值时,往往可以实现长期利润,收获长期成功。本书揭示了ESG(环境、社会和公司治理)投资的底层逻辑,能给企业管理者、投资者以及专家学者都带来很大的启发。

心理学
(美) 赖安•戈特弗雷森 著; 李恩宁 译 国际文化出版公司
人们往往坚信自己的心态已经形成,思考问题的方式无懈可击,自己认定的就是事实,从未有所质疑,更不会寻求改善。然而,心态是后天形成且不断变化的,面对同一个问题,不同的心态就会导致不同的认知和行为,终结果也会大不相同。
心态是心理能量的过滤器,是一个人生活、工作、看世界的心理基础。这只看不见、摸不着的无形船舵,正在无意识地把控着我们的人生方向。它塑造了我们的方方面面,而我们却毫无觉察。只有了解和感知到这些无意识的活动,才能更好地驾驶自己的人生航船。而忽视心态,就是在限制自己掌控人生的能力。
周丽瑗 著 人民邮电出版社每个人的成长都不会一帆风顺。那些大大小小的被忽视、被批评、被否定、被恶语相向的经历,甚至被霸凌、被躯体暴力的经历,如若没有得到及时有效的处理,都会在我们心里留下一些伤痛。这些不被看到的伤痛又会以各种意想不到的方式影响我们的生活。

这些人成功引领了同时代的文艺创作、历史书写、文化思想和实践、政治经济理论,不仅使英国获得了英国性,更是塑造了后来的现代世界。
作者以各个人物的生平为时光通道,把当代读者引向乔治王朝时期宏阔的社会图景,展现了那个时代绅士的生活做派和婚姻伦理,法国大革命前夕英国政坛的喧嚣,英国与爱尔兰、印度、北美等殖民地之间的紧张关系,以及英国国内关于奴隶制的争论,女性的生存困境及其文艺创作活动等。

Economics
Dignity in a digital age :making tech work for all of usby Ro Khanna Simon & Schuster
In the digital age, unequal access to technology and the revenue it creates is one of the most pressing issues facing the United States. There is an economic gulf between those who have struck gold in the tech industry and those left behind by the digital revolution; a geographic divide between those in the coastal tech industry and those in the heartland whose jobs have been automated; and existing inequalities in technological access—students without computers, rural workers with spotty WiFi, and plenty of workers without the luxury to work from home.
Dignity in the Digital Age tackles these challenges head-on and imagines how the digital economy can create opportunities for people all across the country without uprooting them. Congressman Ro Khanna of Silicon Valley offers a vision for democratizing digital innovation to build economically vibrant and inclusive communities. Instead of being subject to tech’s reshaping of our economy, Representative Khanna argues that we must channel those powerful forces toward creating a more healthy, equal, and democratic society.

The Way of the Wall Street Warrior :conquer the corporate game using tips, tricks, and smartcutsby Dave Liu and Adam Snyder Wiley
The book discusses tactics for getting your foot in the door and then rising to the top of the food chain. The strategies and techniques discussed within apply whether you spend 18 hours a day in an office right next to your nearest colleague or you’re working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
You’ll learn interview tips, techniques for mastering the social environment at work, and CYA strategies to protect yourself from unexpected setbacks. The author discusses how to read a room, in a virtual meeting or in real life, and why it’s more important than reading the prospectus. You’ll discover the importance of the “How,” as opposed to the “Why” and the “What,” and why success means doing the least amount of work for the most pay you can extract.

Management
Amp it up :leading for hypergrowth by raising expectations, increasing urgency, and elevating intensityby Frank Slootman Wiley
Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman is one of the tech world's most accomplished executives in enterprise growth, having led Snowflake to the largest software IPO ever after leading ServiceNow and Data Domain to exponential growth and the public market before that. In Amp It Up: Leading for Hypergrowth by Raising Expectations, Increasing Urgency, and Elevating Intensity, he shares his leadership approach for the first time.
Amp It Up delivers an authoritative look at what it takes to transform an organization for maximum growth and scale. Slootman shows that most leaders have significant room to improve their organization's performance without making expensive changes to their talent, structure, or fundamental business model—and they don’t need to bring in an army of consultants to do it. What they do need is to align people around what matters and execute with urgency and intensity every day.
Leading for unprecedented growth means declaring war on mediocrity, breaking the status quo, and making conflicted choices daily, all with a relentless focus on the mission. Amp It Up provides the first principles to guide that change, and the tactical advice for organizing a company around them.
CEO excellence :the six mindsets that distinguish the best leaders from the restby Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, and Vikram Malhotra ScribnerBeing a CEO at any of the world’s largest companies is among the most challenging roles in business. Billions, and even trillions, are at stake—and the fates of tens of thousands of employees often hang in the balance. Yet, even when “can’t miss” high-achievers win the top job, very few excel. Thirty percent of Fortune 500 CEOs last fewer than three years, and two out of five new CEOs are perceived to be failing within eighteen months.
For those who shoulder the burden of being the one on whom everyone counts, a manual for excellence is sorely needed.
To identify the 21st century’s best CEOs, the authors of CEO Excellence started with a pool of over 2400 public company CEOs. Extensive screening distilled that group into an elite corps, sixty-seven of whom agreed to in-depth, multi-hour interviews. Among those sharing their views: Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan Chase), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Kazuo Hirai (Sony), Ken Chenault (American Express), Mary Barra (GM), and Peter Brabeck-Letmathe (Nestlé).
Hearts touched with fire :how great leaders are madeDavid Gergen Simon & SchusterAs nations careen from one crisis to the next, there is a growing cry for fresh leadership. Those in charge have repeatedly fallen short, and trust in institutions has plummeted. So, what does great leadership look like? And how are great leaders made?
David Gergen, a leader in the public arena for more than half a century, draws from his experiences as a White House adviser to four presidents, his decades as a trusted voice on national issues, and years of teaching and mentoring young people to offer a stirring playbook for the next generation of change-makers.
To uncover the fundamental elements of effective leadership, Gergen traces the journeys of iconic leaders past and present, from pathbreakers like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Lewis, John McCain, and Harvey Milk to historic icons like Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill, and Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt, to contemporary game changers like Greta Thunberg, the Parkland students, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Smart growth :how to grow your people to grow your companyby Whitney Johnson Harvard Business Review PressGrowth is the goal. Helping people develop their potential—enabling them to articulate and become the self they want to be, are capable of being, and that best serves them and others in the short and long term—is what we as individuals and leaders strive toward.
But how do we grow? It turns out it happens in a predictable way, which means we can understand where we are in our growth and chart a way forward. In this compact, complete guide, Whitney Johnson dives more deeply than ever into the S Curve of Learning so that you can envision how growth happens and direct yourself and others in your organization to create a culture that fosters it.
The growth and learning journey comes in three phases: the Launch Point, the Sweet Spot, and Mastery. Compelling examples of successful people will show you when and why growth is slow, how to keep going, what to do when growth and learning are almost too fast to keep up with, and how to leap from one growth journey to another.
Winning on purpose :the unbeatable strategy of loving customersby Fred Reichheld, Darci Darnell and Maureen Burns Harvard Business Review PressFew management ideas have spread so far and wide as the Net Promoter System (NPS). Since its conception almost two decades ago by customer loyalty guru Fred Reichheld, thousands of companies around the world have adopted it—from industrial titans such as Mercedes-Benz and Cummins to tech giants like Apple and Amazon to digital innovators such as Warby Parker and Peloton.
Now, Reichheld has raised the bar yet again. In Winning on Purpose, he demonstrates that the primary purpose of a business should be to enrich the lives of its customers. Why? Because when customers feel this love, they come back for more and bring their friends—generating good profits. This is NPS 3.0 and it puts a new take on the age-old Golden Rule—treat customers the way you would want a loved one treated—at the heart of enduring business success. As the compelling examples in this book illustrate, companies with superior NPS consistently deliver higher returns to shareholders across a wide array of industries.

Coming up with original ideas of value is today’s most precious skill.
How Creativity Rules the World shows that, despite contrary beliefs, creativity can be taught and learned by anyone. Creativity is an inexhaustible resource that is the key to thriving in the business world and beyond.

Converted :the data-driven way to win customers' heartsby Neil Hoyne Portfolio/PenguinWhen the world’s biggest brands want to sharpen their digital marketing strategy, they call Neil Hoyne – Google’s Chief Measurement Strategist and Senior Fellow at the Wharton School. In his first book, he offers a simple, research-backed playbook that anyone can use to find their best customers and develop relationships that last.
Under pressure for quick results and facing fierce marketplace competition, too many marketers are boxed into spaghetti-to-the-wall forms of digital marketing that limit the potential of their long hours, countless experiments, and warehouses of data. And in the end, they watch their competition sprint ahead.
But what if you built a business around long-term relationships with customers, using data to understand who they are, what they need, and where to find more customers just like them? You can. And you’ll leave your competitors, with all of their data and their short-term thinking, to poke around in the scraps.The Locker Room :How Great Teams Heal Hurt, Overcome Adversity, and Build Unityby Stephen Mackey and Damon West WileyIntegrity. Vision. Respect. For the most successful and unified teams, organizations, and families, core values like these are more than words—they are a way of living. But what happens when unforeseen conflict causes you to abandon the ideals you hold most tightly to? How do you find your way again? What does it take to restore trust, faith, and productivity?
In The Locker Room, Damon West and Stephen Mackey deliver an insightful and practical exploration of this kind of situation. The book tells the story of four characters—two coaches and two players—two of whom are Black and two of whom are white, who must deal with the fallout of an offensive comment made by one of the white student athletes.
After the comment destroys the unity of their previously productive locker room, the young athletes and their coaches must navigate the difficult realities of prejudice and privilege that affect the lives of people today. As they move forward in an attempt to heal the damage, the players and coaches discover strategies for gracefully communicating about—and dealing with—these difficult issues in ways that acknowledge the equal personhood of everyone in the conversation.
The Locker Room seeks to provide athletes, employees, managers, coaches, and leaders from all backgrounds the tools and techniques they need to give everyone an equal voice and an equal chance at success. It is an indispensable resource for those who seek to have the difficult conversations that lie at the heart of modern life.

文明的逻辑 :人类与风险的博弈陈志武 著 中信出版社
生产率和风险应对力是判断人类进步的两个关键维度,前者解决正常情况下的生活,而后者决定非常条件下的生存。在《文明的逻辑》一书中,作者以“人类与风险的博弈”历程为线索,使用数据量化分析和文献研究分析,通过人们所熟悉的创新、商业、金融等现象与历史,用翔实的数据与资料分析探讨文明演进背后的内在逻辑,创新性地提出衡量文明的新标尺——“风险应对力”(即应对风险的能力),以此来帮助我们更完整地解读人类文明化进程,为认识、发展人类社会文明提供独特视角。
疯狗浪 :如何应对突如其来的剧变(美) 乔纳森•布里尔 著; 诸葛雯 译 中信出版集团这是一本指导你如何在剧变中生存并获利的手册。它提供了大量的工具和方法,同时推动企业掌握适应变化的能力。你不必使用书中提到的所有工具和方法,也不必按照特定的顺序使用它们。但是在某些时候,你可能会发现它们都能派上用场。
企业首先要具备适应变化的“意识”,知道疯狗浪的强大破坏力以及为何它能使公司之船沉没,并了解将引发下一波疯狗浪的全球十大潜流。同时,企业要学会更早地发现疯狗浪并找到自身的脆弱之处,及时做出应对策略;即使无法把握恰当的时机,也要了解如何实施行动,限度地提高自己的抗风险能力。
在思维改变之后,企业也要做到 “行为改变”。 培养组织内部各个级别的员工,让他们掌握应对剧变的工具,这些工具将帮助企业为可能出现的未来,而非企业希望出现的未来做好准备。
向心城市 :迈向未来的活力陆铭 著 上海人民出版社这是上海交通大学安泰经济学院陆铭教授面向普通读者的学术普及读物,也是陆铭老师前作《大国大城》的姊妹篇。继《大国大城》向公众说明区域经济发展“在集聚中走向平衡”的规律之后,作者综合近几年的蕞新学术研究和调研成果,结合大数据所呈现出来的情况,说明了城市内部的发展规律,即随着服务业在GDP和就业中所占的比重会随着经济发展而越来越高;在“规模经济”的逻辑下,城市发展呈现出“人从农村集聚到城市,从小城市集聚到大城市,从城市的外围集聚到中心城区”的规律。这本书也同样引入“空间均衡”的概念,从“活力“宜居”“和谐”这三个城市发展所追求的目标出发,论述了在国家、地区、城乡、城区郊区等层次中,应该如何顺应“向心力”所塑造的普遍规律与趋势,进行规划与选择。
在本书中,作者强调,基于城市治理的很多方面都存在规模经济效应,那么人口密度高,不一定是城市治理问题的根源,反而可能是解决拥堵、污染等城市问题的出路。通过展开关于向心城市体系的论述,作者试图扭转社会公众对“城市”概念的认知误区和在城市治理方面的成见,使城市真正能够为人民需求而建、而生,真正实现 “创新之城”“生态之城”“人文之城”的三位一体,并进一步释放城市的经济活力,为经济发展创造制度红利。
失去的三十年 :平成日本经济史(日) 野口悠纪雄 著; 郭超敏 译 机械工业出版社作者亲历了日本战后发展的全过程,而且在大藏省的工作经历让他能够亲身经历其间日本经济运行的过程。同时,作为学者,作者见证了日本平成时代(1989年至2019年)的三十年间日本政府经济决策的失败。
2019年是平成时代结束的那一年,也是1990年日本泡沫经济崩溃后的第二十九年。安倍经济学虽然起初被寄予厚望,但积重难返,日本经济本质上没有丝毫的改变,而作者提出的“失去的三十年”基本上可以为平成时代的日本经济盖棺定论。
在经历了广场协议后的盲目贬值、激进的货币政策与泡沫经济崩溃以及政府的经济政策缺乏稳定性等一系列经济问题后,终于,有经济政策连续性的日本政府出现了,但此时的日本却又面临着严峻的老龄化、社会阶层固化以及制造业、高新产业凋敝等问题。与美国的贸易战、汇率战,以及少子化、老龄化、高新技术产业的扶植、制造业空心化,都是日本经历过的,也是今天和未来的中国正在和可能将要面对的。日本失去的三十年是不是我们未来的写照?我们又能从中吸取什么教训呢?

管理
张维迎 著 海南出版社
“企业家”是张维迎教授自1984年以来经济学研究的核心。不同于主流经济学中的市场均衡假设,作者经济学中的市场是不确定的、变动的,市场决策不是既定约束条件下的求解,而是改变约束条件本身,这就决定了企业家在市场理论中的核心地位。由此,作者讨论了企业家决策的心智模式,分析了企业家的两种主要职能,概述了以企业家为中心的“斯密-熊彼特增长模型”,并以此模型分析了中国过去几十年经济的增长。
这不是存在于理论中的经济学,而是真实市场下的经济学。对于如何认识经济学理论、市场经济与资源配置,作者总能给出犀利的论断与直指问题核心的路径。这些立足于理论又回归现实的分析,不仅是写给在市场中做决策的企业家的,也是写给任何一个想要了解真实的市场和经济发展趋势的普通读者的。
从报表看企业 :数字背后的秘密张新民 著 电子工业出版社与前三版一样,本书向读者展示了一个全新的分析框架———通过对财务报表的 “八看”来满足企业管理者的需求。 “八看”的全部内容来自我为期四天的EMBA “企业财务报表分析”课堂教学的精华。
与第3版相比,第4版的主要变化有:
1. 更新了大量案例。本书的案例除了保留极个别有代表性的原有案例外,增加了很多新的企业案例,且多数企业的数据是2020年刚刚发布的。既限度地保留了本书 “接地气”的传统风格,还向读者展示了本书分析框架的强大生命力。
2. 将披露的企业财务信息对财务报表分析的影响融入本书。自第3版出版至2020年季度,上市公司披露的财务报表出现了应收款项融资、研发费用、利息费用等新的项目和披露内容,本书在分析中包括了上述对财务报表分析影响的内容,从而为新的财务报表分析提供了必要的工具。
3. 对多个章节进行了彻底改写,重点强化了战略分析、并购对企业实质性影响的分析、成本决定机制分析以及风险分析等关键内容。改写后的内容融入了作者过去几年在财务报表分析方面的新探索和新思路。
本书不是一本教材,但适合各类学习财务报表分析的人士使用。

历史
漫长的余生 :一个北魏宮女和她的时代罗新 著 北京日报出版社
公元466年,宋明帝刘彧与在寻阳称帝的侄子刘子勋二帝并立,内战几乎波及刘宋全境,继而演变为与北魏之间的战争。生于南朝中层官僚家庭的王钟儿,被迫卷入,家破人亡,两年后被掠为平城宫的普通宫女,时年三十岁。可是,她的命运却偶然地与“子贵母死”制度发生了联系,意外卷入权力斗争的漩涡,先后以宫女和比丘尼的身份成为抚育两代皇帝的关键人物,竟在北魏宫廷生活了五十六年之久。
罗新教授利用墓志等史料讲述了王钟儿漫长而又跌宕起伏的一生,并以她的眼睛去看她身处其中的时代,把皇帝、后妃、外戚、朝臣、宦官和宫女都还原为具体的人,看到他们面对权力时的喜悦、疑惧、张狂、绝望……随着王钟儿人生故事展开的,还有从献文帝、孝文帝到宣武帝、孝明帝近八十年的北魏历史,当然也有被时代的惊涛骇浪席卷的许许多多人。我们关注遥远时代的普通人,是因为他们是真实历史的一部分,没有他们,历史就是不完整、不真切的。
关羽 :由凡入神的历史与想象(荷) 田海 著; 王健, 尹薇, 闫爱萍, 屈啸宇 译 新星出版社跟随荷兰汉学家,重返历史现场,纵览关羽成神之路。
219年,关羽败走,后为吴军所俘,被杀,此后被尊为关公或关帝,成为不亚于观音的重要神祇,至今仍受民间敬奉。作者从时间和空间两个维度追溯了关公崇拜的历史性演变:从早期惨遭横死的饿鬼,到骁勇善战的护法恶魔、驱邪将军,及至后来的雨神、财神和文士之神,甚至全能救世主形象……在关羽的多重面相中,每种形象的形成和发展都有特定的历史环境,包括佛道教力量的介入、特定地方群体的参与、王权和国家力量的形塑等,但归根结底,关羽信仰兴起于口头文化,而非大多数研究主张的三国叙事传统。正如作者自己反复提到的,《关羽:由凡入神的历史与想象》为“对口头文化在一个文字变得越来越重要的世界中如何保持巨大作用的研究”,作者结合大量史料和遗迹,甚至田野调查得来的一手资料,对背后的文化机制进行了详尽考察,也对其代表的中国传统文化与文脉进行了梳理,其中格外突出了口头信息交互在形象建构与传播中的作用。
从巴格达到伊斯坦布尔 :历史视野下的中东大变局昝涛 著 中信出版社中东,人类文明的摇篮。这里诞生了古老的美索不达米亚文明和埃及文明,孕育了基督教、伊斯兰教和犹太教三大宗教,成就了阿拉伯帝国、波斯帝国和奥斯曼帝国等伟大帝国的辉煌。然而如今,中东却成了动荡和战乱的代名词。宗教冲突和战争频发,民众抗议此起彼伏,恐怖主义肆虐。文明的摇篮如何变成了混乱的温床?
在《从巴格达到伊斯坦布尔:历史视野下的中东大变局》中,北京大学历史学系专攻中东研究20多年的昝涛老师,将为您揭开中东乱局的真相,探讨中东动荡的根源。全书从历史的视角切入,先是回顾了阿拉伯文明、波斯文明和奥斯曼—土耳其文明给当代中东留下的遗产,然后从不同角度观察中东五个大国的现状:伊朗,在经历了“伊斯兰革命”之后,仍在改革派和保守派的拉扯下动荡不断;伊拉克,经过被美国主导的重建,前途依旧不甚明朗;埃及,经历了两次革命的冲击,竟又回到了军人主政的原点;叙利亚,在各大国的干预下,胶着了十年的内战还是看不到尽头;土耳其,在埃尔多安和正发党的长期执政下,开始怀抱着“新奥斯曼主义”去追逐自己的“大国梦”。
(英) 克里斯托弗•道森 著; 武可 译 上海书店出版社本书是当代著名的文化哲学家、历史学家和文化史学家克里斯托弗•道森的代表作。全书包括两大部分:第一部分为面向一种历史社会学。从文化发展、进步理论、文明和道德的关系、艺术和社会的关系、文化极性等方面阐明历史学的社会学基础;以文明的生命力、好战族群和古文明衰落、古典文明的起源、历史上的父权制家庭等为例说明世界历史的变迁;从现代城市的演变、资产阶级精神、世界危机和英国传统的关系等方面分析城市和文化的有机属性。第二部分为世界历史的观念。一方面侧重从历史哲学角度阐明基督教对西方历史观念的贡献;另一方面则从史学史出发,以吉本的《罗马帝国盛衰史》、威尔斯的《世界史纲》、斯宾格勒的《西方的没落》、汤因比的《历史研究》等为例,解读基督教的历史观念对西方史学发展的影响。

In Pursuit of the Perfect Portfolio :The Stories, Voices, and Key Insights of the Pioneers Who Shaped the Way We Investby Andrew W. Lo and Stephen R. Foerster Princeton University Press
Is there an ideal portfolio of investment assets, one that perfectly balances risk and reward? In Pursuit of the Perfect Portfolio examines this question by profiling and interviewing ten of the most prominent figures in the finance world―Jack Bogle, Charley Ellis, Gene Fama, Marty Leibowitz, Harry Markowitz, Bob Merton, Myron Scholes, Bill Sharpe, Bob Shiller, and Jeremy Siegel. We learn about the personal and intellectual journeys of these luminaries―which include six Nobel Laureates and a trailblazer in mutual funds―and their most innovative contributions. In the process, we come to understand how the science of modern investing came to be. Each of these finance greats discusses their idea of a perfect portfolio, offering invaluable insights to today’s investors.
Inspiring such monikers as the Bond Guru, Wall Street’s Wisest Man, and the Wizard of Wharton, these pioneers of investment management provide candid perspectives, both expected and surprising, on a vast array of investment topics―effective diversification, passive versus active investment, security selection and market timing, foreign versus domestic investments, derivative securities, nontraditional assets, irrational investing, and so much more. While the perfect portfolio is ultimately a moving target based on individual age and stage in life, market conditions, and short- and long-term goals, the fundamental principles for success remain constant.

Productize :The Ultimate Guide to Turning Professional Services into Scalable Productsby Eisha Tierney Armstrong Vecteris
Productize first outlines the "Seven Deadly Productization Mistakes" made when pursuing a product strategy, then provides the blueprint for overcoming each of these missteps. It is designed to be a practical playbook for any leader of a professional services business who wants to successfully accelerate growth.

Productize includes real-life case studies and stories featuring professional services leaders who have successfully led their organizations to create more scalable services and products. It also includes more than two dozen tools and templates to help your team implement the tactics so you don't have to start from scratch.

Let's Talk :Make Effective Feedback Your Superpowerby Therese Huston PortfolioHow are you supposed to tell someone that they're not meeting expectations without crushing their spirit? Regular feedback, when delivered skillfully, can turn average performers into the hardest workers and stars into superstars. Yet many see it as an awkward chore: Recent studies have revealed 37% of managers dread giving feedback, and 65% of employees wish their managers gave more feedback.
This trail-blazing new model eliminates the guesswork. Dr. Therese Huston, the founding director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Seattle University, discovered that the key to being listened to is to listen. First, find out what kind of feedback an employee wants most: appreciation, coaching, or evaluation. If they crave one, they'll be more receptive once their need has been satisfied.
A New Way to Think :Your Guide to Superior Management Effectivenessby Roger L. Martin Harvard Business Review PressOver a stellar career, Roger Martin has advised the CEOs of some of the world's most successful companies. From the beginning, he noted that almost every executive he talked to had a "model"—a framework or way of thinking that guided their strategy and activities. But these models tended to become automatic, so much so that when one didn't work, the typical response was just to apply it again—with greater enthusiasm.
Martin took a fresh, critical approach to helping. When company leaders came to him with fundamental questions—How do you decide where to play and how to win? What is the key to shaping and changing corporate culture? How can you design a successful, sustainable innovation process?—his first response was to break the spell of the current model with a memo articulating a new way to think about the problem at hand and a more powerful and effective way to overcome it.

商品帝国 :一部消费主义全球史(德) 弗兰克·特伦特曼 著; 马灿林, 桂强 译 九州出版社
本书叙述了在资本主义的发展历程中,消费的理念是如何以自己的方式演变的历史,以及它对社会多个方面的重要影响和之后的发展趋势。本书从文艺复兴时期的意大利、明末中国开始写起,论述了全球三大消费模式。之后,特伦特曼追溯了贸易和帝国对全球消费和品位的影响,咖啡、烟草、印度棉花和中国瓷器等以前充满异国情调的商品征服了世界,并探索了人们对于家居、时尚服饰和便利性日益增长的需求,这些需求改变了私人和公共生活。
作者详尽的描述表明,消费实际上是一种真正的国际现象,有着悠久、多样化的丰富历史,同时要比我们想象的更具有积极的作用,比如19世纪和20世纪带来了百货商店、信用卡和广告营销,但也带来了道德购物者的崛起、新一代人的身份和最终亚洲消费的复兴。作者着眼于现在和未来,对我们不懈追求更多的物质享受这一全球挑战提出了长远的看法。这部著作兼有专业精妙的学术研究和引人入胜的叙述技巧,呈现了在过去数个世纪,那些诱惑我们并且丰富和动摇了我们生活的商品史诗般的历史。
中国出口之谜 :解码"全球价值链"邢予青 著 生活·读书·新知三联书店中国在改革开放后的短短三十年左右时间里,就从一个封闭的经济体成长为世界第一出口大国。本书以全球价值链为框架,从中国企业在全球价值链中扮演的角色出发,揭示了跨国公司的技术、品牌和市场营销网络对中国出口奇迹形成的决定性作用。以全球价值链为基础的国际贸易,与古典的布匹换葡萄酒的贸易存在着本质的区别,并导致了中美贸易平衡被扭曲。作者以iPhone贸易和美国苹果公司为案例, 详细解析了贸易统计是如何扭曲中美双边贸易的。全球价值链不仅是一种新的贸易方式,也是发展中国家实现工业化的一条新路径。超级全球化时代催生了一个以中国为中心的全球价值链。但是,中美贸易摩擦、中美之间的技术博弈,以及新冠疫情在全球的泛滥,正在威胁着以中国为中心的全球价值链的稳定运作。 作者最 后对未来全球价值链的发展和重构, 进行了前瞻性分析,并揭示了中国企业的未来成长之路。
伯南克论大萧条 :经济的衰退与复苏(美) 本·伯南克 著; 陈剑 译 中信出版社1929年,美国发生经济大萧条,之后蔓延至全球。当时,股市崩盘、银行倒闭、通胀居高不下、金融市场动荡、人们收入下降、几千万人失业……大萧条不仅导致美国乃至世界的经济社会大变动,在学术上也使得现代宏观经济学成为一门独立的学科。为这次大萧条寻求一个合理的理论解释,是经济学界一项具有挑战性的任务,也是为之后类似危机寻求可行解决方案的尝试。
学术界确实没有“浪费”大萧条。几十年来,一代又一代的学者在研究大萧条问题;对于大萧条的研究及其结论,影响了后世的货币政策、金融监管等。伯南克是众多研究者中的一位杰出代表。自称“大萧条迷”的伯南克,先后撰写了一系列关于大萧条的研究文章,集结成《伯南克论大萧条》这本书。他在书中用美国及其他多个国家的大量数据、资料,包括经济数据、工资、就业情况等,从总供给、总需求、名义工资等角度,围绕大萧条发生的原因和传导机制进行了深入分析。他认为,研究大萧条,可以体会到很多经济运作的规律和本质。这些研究的确也帮助他在后来作为美联储主席应对2008年的次贷危机时,得以吸取大萧条时期的政策教训,并且总体上避免了同样的错误,帮助美国渡过了危机。
20世纪30年代的经济大萧条早已成为历史,但看看当前世界的各类经济新闻,大萧条时期的种种教训仍然具有很强的警示意义。

• 衡量公司成功与否的最基本标准,是创造的长期股东价值。用户和股东的利益短期来看并非趋同,放眼长期,却会趋于一致。• 公司的核心在于对用户痴迷,而不是对竞争对手痴迷。因为用户永远不会满意,也会带动你前进。但痴迷于竞争者的公司如果看到对手都在身后,会把脚步放慢。• 决策分两种:1.单向门决策——决策不可逆转且事关重大,需要谨慎相待。2.双向门决策——做完决策之后如果事实证明有误,仍能够退回原处,则可以进行权力下放。• 公司的成功与否,在很大程度上将会取决于吸引和保留积极进取的员工的能力,每一个人都必须从公司主人翁的出发点进行思考,因此也必须真正扮演起主人翁的角色。• 要有大公司的体量和小公司的热情。庞大的组织保持“第一天”的生机的秘诀:发自内心对用户痴迷、抵制流于形式、拥抱外部趋势,以及高速决策。

心理学
(德) 斯特凡·德德里希斯 著; 韩昕彤 译 人民邮电出版社
你是否有这样的体验?拼命努力试图把一切做到最好,即便如此,还是觉得自己不够好。从不满足于自己的表现,总是将自己与他人进行比较,甚至因此陷入焦虑、抑郁。纠结于细节、患得患失,因此消耗了大量时间和精力,错过了好机会。拼尽全力追求某个目标,把自己搞得筋疲力竭,却事倍功半。
如果你有上述体验,意味着你可能有过分追求完美的倾向。每个人都想变得更好,但不恰当的努力常常成为成功和幸福的阻碍。如何实现恰如其分的完美?如何把追求完美变成我们获得成就、完善自我的动力而非限制?作者从亲密关系、身体健康、财富、事业、获得幸福等维度阐述了我们如何能够适度地追求完美,既努力向上成长,又不过分自我消耗。

90岁史学大家许倬云,用他的亲身经历告诉我们:只有往里走,才能安顿自己。如果你总感觉活着很累,那就翻开本书,从今天开始安顿自己的心。
"我生而残疾,八岁以前不能走路,在很长时间内不能做任何事。我看一堆蚂蚁从窝里出来,每只蚂蚁从大叶子上采一块扛在背上,排成一队走单线回到窝里。如此情景我看了一个小时,像看一场很有趣的戏剧,也能由此发现蚂蚁的智慧。这种方式叫“自我排遣”,自己寻找安顿的地方。"
"说实话,我这一生的日子不好过。天生残缺,到老了已经病了几十年,如果不往里走,我不可能活到今天……我们如果能够打造好自己的内心,不再追求短暂的高兴的“快”,不再追求短暂的虚荣的“乐”,我们的行为、情感就能通达天地和灵魂。"

历史
瞿同祖 著; 范忠信, 何鹏, 晏锋 译 新星出版社
这是著名历史学家、社会学家瞿同祖先生的代表作,也是他于学术时期用英文撰写的一部经典之作。本书由哈佛大学出版社1962年首版,为瞿同祖在世界范围内赢得了巨大声誉,至今仍是西方汉学界相关教学和研究中的书。
民间有言“天高皇帝远”,学术界也有个论题是“皇权不下县”,作为小行政单元的清代州县级地方政府,直接与普通百姓打交道,其重要性不言而喻。本书的写作目的就是描述、分析和诠释清代州县级地方政府的结构与运作。
瞿同祖先生通过各种手稿和笔记,同时参考大量的官方资料,以极简洁的文字,介绍了州县官和他的四个辅助群体,即书吏、衙役、长随、幕友的职能、地位、收入、贪赃形式和纪律控制等,强调了清代地方政府实际上是以州县官为中心的“一人政府”。此外还重点讨论了士绅阶层在地方行政中的角色。

本书是一本视角新颖的中国古代政治史,全新揭示了秦统一后帝制国家皇权系统的运营逻辑,并力图从中找寻变迁规律,揭示王朝循环的原因,总结历史得失。作者将数十位帝王的故事与大历史视野相结合,既是一部中国历代皇帝评说总集,又梳理了两千年中国政治历史,便于读者快速理解帝制中国两千年兴亡得失的机理。
说扬州:明清商业之都的沉浮(澳) 安东篱 著; 李霞, 李恭忠 译 北京联合出版公司“扬州”这个名字承载着上千年的历史和文化共鸣。说起扬州,那些艺术家、文人、大商人的形象,风景秀丽的水道、桥梁、园林,还有充满浪漫或悲情色彩的历史都会在脑海中涌现。这本书正是记录了扬州这方方面面的“传记”,告诉读者这座城市是如何从明清交替之际的战火中重新崛起,走向18世纪的,成为举足轻重的商业之都;又在哪些历史偶然与必然中逐渐褪色,只剩寥寥文化碎片将过去与今天相连。
作者安东篱为研究这座城市投入了十数年之功,查阅大量史书、方志以及时人诗文和笔记,为其宏大的写作架构填补了无数动人且真切的细节,还原了明清时期扬州的真实城市肌理。在这幅生动的城市图卷中,中国在帝制晚期的巨大变迁同样跃然纸上。
(日) 内藤湖南, 冈崎文夫 著; 李雨桃, 熊心梅, 曹京柱 译 岳麓书社本书是由日本历史学家内藤湖南及其弟子冈崎文夫写就的一部中国通史。
中国历史的发展,本质上是文化的发展。根据各时代文化发展的不同内容及形式,作者将中国历史划分为上古、中世、近世三个时期,除全面介绍每个时期的重要事件与典型人物之外,还着重阐明了各个时期的制度和文化对中国历史进程的深远影响。
这种影响是通过文化扩散的波动来实现的——中国文化从中原向四周扩散,与临近的少数民族乃至周边国家持续发生碰撞和交融,这一过程贯穿了整个中国历史。这种基于文化史观的历史分期理论,为我们重新审视中国历史提供了一种崭新的视角和思考方法。

火与冰 :后唐庄宗李存勖(美) 戴仁柱 著; 刘广丰 译 重庆出版社
五代时期政治动荡,军阀割据,混战不止。受限于时局纷乱、史料散轶,研究成果不甚丰硕。本书以史实为基,以时间为轴,为这一时期的代表人物——终结朱梁、复兴唐室的开国君主——后唐庄宗李存勖作传,并通过传主的一生勾勒出整个五代时期的历史面貌。 作者以庄宗所处的时代背景及其家族起源为开篇,详细叙述了他从幼年受宠到继承王位、从坐拥河东到逐鹿中原、从 抗衡朱梁到复兴唐室、从登基称帝到众叛亲离的兴衰际遇。短暂的四十二年人生中,李存勖曾面临诸多危险、机遇与挑战,他化解、抓住并应对了其中大部分,却倒在了后一关。 作者将李存勖的一生置于乱世背景之下,展示了他富有戏剧性的跌宕起伏的一生,也阐释了天下可以马上得之、不能马上治之的道理。

世界有什么?世界是如何变成这样的?围绕这两个问题,诺奖得主维尔切克为我们揭示了十项深刻的洞见,阐明了每个人都应该了解的物理世界。
维尔切克教授用他优美而通俗的文笔,先从八个方面介绍了人类已经取得的科学成就: 空间、间、物质的构成、万物运动的规律、材料和能源、宇宙的演化、复杂性的出现、感知能力的扩展,然后描述了人类当前面临的科学难题,比如暗物质和暗能量。在这些介绍之前,维尔切克教授向读者发出了预警:科学揭示,“宇宙是一个奇怪的地方”,或者科学诞生之前的人类建立的关于世界的经验模型全然不同。为了理解和发现自然的奥秘,我们必须学新弃旧,在思维模式上“重生”。

史蒂芬·霍金:友谊与物理学的回忆(美) 列纳德·蒙洛迪诺 著; 徐彬 译 湖南科学技术出版社史蒂芬·霍金是当代极有影响力的物理学家之一,他的生平事迹影响了无数人。近20年来,列纳德·蒙洛迪诺(Leonard Mlodinow)曾与霍金合作,并建立了深厚的友谊。在书中,我们会看到霍金倾尽全力,尝试揭开宇宙的神秘面纱,最终提出了开创性的黑洞理论,并重燃人们对宇宙学的兴趣。在书中,我们也会看到朋友眼里的霍金——由于疾病缠身,他只能以每分钟6个单词的速度交流,然而即便如此,与他交谈,仍能不时感受到他的幽默。他可以通过皱眉、微笑或仅仅扬起眉毛来传递信息。在书中,蒙洛迪诺将带我们进入一间密室,在这里,霍金会享用美酒和美食,与友人分享他对爱、死亡和残疾的感受,并沉浸在对哲学和物理学深层次问题的思考中。
蒙洛迪诺在书中描绘了霍金的趣事,比如他也会一时冲动做出选择,决定去剑河上撑篙游玩而全然不顾出游带来的风险;或是有一次,由于一家餐厅没有残疾人专用厕所,霍金故意在篱笆外小便以示抗议。通过这些趣事和实例,蒙洛迪诺向我们展示了一个爱冒险的霍金。他对这段深厚友谊的记述,不仅让我们了解物理学的本质是什么,也让我们认识到生命的本质是什么,以及人类克服困难的无限潜能。

Woke, Inc. :inside corporate America's social justice scamby Vivek Ramaswamy Center Street
There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy, from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes. “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better, more diverse, environmentally-friendly world, but in reality this ideology championed by America’s business and political leaders robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity.
Vivek Ramaswamy is a traitor to his class. He’s founded multibillion-dollar enterprises, led a biotech company as CEO, he became a hedge fund partner in his 20s, trained as a scientist at Harvard and a lawyer at Yale, and grew up the child of immigrants in a small town in Ohio. Now he takes us behind the scenes into corporate boardrooms and five-star conferences, into Ivy League classrooms and secretive nonprofits, to reveal the defining scam of our century.
The modern woke-industrial complex divides us as a people. By mixing morality with consumerism, America’s elites prey on our innermost insecurities about who we really are. They sell us cheap social causes and skin-deep identities to satisfy our hunger for a cause and our search for meaning, at a moment when we as Americans lack both.
21st century monetary policy :the Federal Reserve from the great inflation to COVID-19by Ben S. Bernanke W. W. Norton & CompanyIn 21st Century Monetary Policy, Ben S. Bernanke―former chair of the Federal Reserve and one of the world’s leading economists―explains the Fed’s evolution and speculates on its future. Taking a fresh look at the bank’s policymaking over the past seventy years, including his own time as chair, Bernanke shows how changes in the economy have driven the Fed’s innovations. He also lays out new challenges confronting the Fed, including the return of inflation, cryptocurrencies, increased risks of financial instability, and threats to its independence.
Beyond explaining the central bank’s new policymaking tools, Bernanke also captures the drama of moments when so much hung on the Fed’s decisions, as well as the personalities and philosophies of those who led the institution.

Four thousand weeks :time management for mortalsby Oliver Burkeman Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks.
Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society―and that we could do things differently.7 rules of power :surprising, but true, advice on how to get things done and advance your careerby Jeffrey Pfeffer Matt Holt BooksIs power the last dirty secret or the secret to success? Both. While power carries some negative connotations, power is a tool that can be used for good or evil. Don’t blame the tool for how some people used it.
If fully understood and harnessed effectively, power skills and understanding become the keys to increasing salaries, job satisfaction, career advancement, organizational change, and, happiness. In 7 Rules of Power, Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor of organizational behavior at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, provides the insights that have made both his online and on-campus classes incredibly popular—with life-changing results often achieved in 8 or 10 weeks.Inflection Points :How to Work and Live with Purposeby Matt Spielman WileyIn Inflection Points: How to Work and Live with Purpose, renowned executive coach and speaker Matt Spielman delivers an energizing and hands-on existential navigational tool that walks you through how to identify what really matters in life and how to achieve it. Using a powerful life transformation system called the “Game Plan System”—or GPS —you will simply use the answers to straightforward questions to reorient your perspective and refocus your efforts on realizing happiness and fulfilment.

Hot seat :what I learned leading a great American companyby Jeff Immelt with Amy Wallace Avid Reader Press
In Hot Seat, Immelt offers a rigorous and raw interrogation of himself and his tenure, detailing for the first time his proudest moments and his biggest mistakes. The most crucial component of leadership, he writes, is the willingness to make decisions. But knowing what to do is a thousand times easier than knowing when to do it. Perseverance, combined with clear communication, can ensure progress, if not perfection, he says. That won’t protect any CEO from second-guessing, but Immelt explains how he’s pushed through even the most withering criticism: by staying focused on his team and the goals they tried to achieve. As the business world continues to be rocked by stunning economic upheaval, Hot Seat “takes you into the office, head, and heart of the man who became CEO of GE on the eve of 9/11, and then led the iconic behemoth for sixteen fascinating, and often turbulent, years.

In Working Backwards, two long-serving Amazon executives reveal the principles and practices that have driven the success of one of the most extraordinary companies the world has ever known.

An ugly truth :inside Facebook's battle for dominationby Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang Harper
Once one of Silicon Valley’s greatest success stories, Facebook has been under constant fire for the past five years, roiled by controversies and crises. It turns out that while the tech giant was connecting the world, they were also mishandling users’ data, spreading fake news, and amplifying dangerous, polarizing hate speech.
The company, many said, had simply lost its way. But the truth is far more complex. Leadership decisions enabled, and then attempted to deflect attention from, the crises. Time after time, Facebook’s engineers were instructed to create tools that encouraged people to spend as much time on the platform as possible, even as those same tools boosted inflammatory rhetoric, conspiracy theories, and partisan filter bubbles. And while consumers and lawmakers focused their outrage on privacy breaches and misinformation, Facebook solidified its role as the world’s most voracious data-mining machine, posting record profits, and shoring up its dominance via aggressive lobbying efforts.
Drawing on their unrivaled sources, Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang take readers inside the complex court politics, alliances and rivalries within the company to shine a light on the fatal cracks in the architecture of the tech behemoth. Their explosive, exclusive reporting led them to a shocking conclusion: The missteps of the last five years were not an anomaly but an inevitability—this is how Facebook was built to perform. In a period of great upheaval, growth has remained the one constant under the leadership of Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. Both have been held up as archetypes of uniquely 21st century executives—he the tech “boy genius” turned billionaire, she the ultimate woman in business, an inspiration to millions through her books and speeches. But sealed off in tight circles of advisers and hobbled by their own ambition and hubris, each has stood by as their technology is coopted by hate-mongers, criminals and corrupt political regimes across the globe, with devastating consequences. In An Ugly Truth, they are at last held accountable.

Fossil future :why global human flourishing requires more oil, coal, and natural gas--not lessby Alex Epstein Portfolio/Penguin
For over a decade, philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein has predicted that any negative impacts of fossil fuel use on our climate will be outweighed by the unique benefits of fossil fuels to human flourishing--including their unrivaled ability to provide low-cost, reliable energy to billions of people around the world, especially the world’s poorest people.
What does the future hold? In Fossil Future, Epstein, applying his distinctive “human flourishing framework” to the latest evidence, comes to the shocking conclusion that the benefits of fossil fuels will continue to far outweigh their side effects—including climate impacts—for generations to come. The path to global human flourishing, Epstein argues, is a combination of using more fossil fuels, getting better at “climate mastery,” and establishing “energy freedom” policies that allow nuclear and other truly promising alternatives to reach their full long-term potential.
The new climate war :the fight to take back our planetby Michael E. Mann PublicAffairsFossil fuel companies have followed the example of other industries deflecting blame (think "guns don't kill people, people kill people") or greenwashing (think of the beverage industry's "Crying Indian" commercials of the 1970s). Meanwhile, they've blocked efforts to regulate or price carbon emissions, run PR campaigns aimed at discrediting viable alternatives, and have abdicated their responsibility in fixing the problem they've created. The result has been disastrous for our planet.
In The New Climate War, Mann argues that all is not lost. He draws the battle lines between the people and the polluters-fossil fuel companies, right-wing plutocrats, and petrostates.

The man who broke capitalism :how Jack Welch gutted the heartland and crushed the soul of corporate America--and how to undo his legacyby David Gelles Simon & Schuster
In 1981, Jack Welch took over General Electric and quickly rose to fame as the first celebrity CEO. He golfed with presidents, mingled with movie stars, and was idolized for growing GE into the most valuable company in the world. But Welch’s achievements didn’t stem from some greater intelligence or business prowess. Rather, they were the result of a sustained effort to push GE’s stock price ever higher, often at the expense of workers, consumers, and innovation. In this captivating, revelatory book, David Gelles argues that Welch single-handedly ushered in a new, cutthroat era of American capitalism that continues to this day.
Gelles chronicles Welch’s campaign to vaporize hundreds of thousands of jobs in a bid to boost profits, eviscerating the country’s manufacturing base and destabilizing the middle class. Gelles shows how Welch’s celebrated emphasis on increasing shareholder value by any means necessary (layoffs, outsourcing, offshoring, acquisitions, and buybacks, to name but a few tactics) became the norm in American business generally. He demonstrates how that approach has led to the greatest socioeconomic inequality since the Great Depression and harmed many of the very companies that have embraced it. And he shows how a generation of Welch acolytes radically transformed companies like Boeing, Home Depot, Kraft Heinz, and more. Finally, Gelles chronicles the change that is now afoot in corporate America, highlighting companies and leaders who have abandoned Welchism and are proving that it is still possible to excel in the business world without destroying livelihoods, gutting communities, and spurning regulation.

双重冲击 :大国博弈的未来与未来的世界经济李晓 著 机械工业出版社
百年未有之大变局的一个突出特征是主要大国之间的博弈日趋复杂、多变且合作竞争并存,其另一个特征便是大国间力量对比的消长。中国经济如何在大国博弈的背景下开新局、树新机?中华民族如何在美国霸权的战略封锁下实现伟大的民族复兴?
李晓教授作为中国世界经济学界的著名经济学家,在这部著作中对当下世界经济格局及其动态演变进行了全面论述,对美国霸权、美元体系的金融逻辑与金融权力、美国经济社会问题进行了深度剖析,对经济学与政治经济学之间的不同有清晰的论断,从新的战略高度对中国经济如何在新发展阶段构建新发展格局提出了独到而深刻的见解,探究了一条在兼顾“以开放促改革”的同时,突出未来中国应强调“以改革促开放”的可持续性崛起之路。
深度转型 :大分化时代中国怎么办滕泰, 朱长征 著 东方出版社本书从中国经济增速下行与美国高通胀所代表的东西方经济严重分化开始,深刻剖析了需求收缩、供给冲击、预期转弱如何放大中国经济增速下行压力,以及全球通胀与衰退、经济“头部化”、增长不平衡等现象对中国经济和企业的冲击,进而提出了中国决策观念转型、政策机制转型、改革逻辑转型、经济结构转型的新方向。
本书作者还结合自己20多年来从事研究、管理和投资的经验,对长期影响中国经济发展的一些陈旧观念提出了批评,如后基建时代稳增长还能靠投资吗?用M2减GDP就可以证明货币超发吗?去产能等于供给侧改革吗?只有农业和制造业创造财富,商业不创造财富吗?金融、文化娱乐、信息传媒等软产业都是财富再分配吗?如果把“制造业占比”作为一个城市的高质量发展指标,那上海、北京都是低质量发展吗?书中处处穿插着对上述类似问题的深度剖析,值得经济研究者、政策制定者、投资者和企业经营者探讨。
站在深度转型的十字路口,作者还对中国经济的新增长极,新对外开放战略,中国特色共同富裕道路,新时期企业如何以“软价值”战略创造新供给并改变人们的生活方式来创造新需求,元宇宙是不是下一代互联网并将如何影响人类未来等前沿话题做出了精彩的解答。
交易的世界 :金钱, 权利与大宗商品交易商(英) 哈维尔·布拉斯, 杰克·法尔奇 著; 岳玉庆 译 中信出版社这是一部引人入胜的大宗商品交易商的故事,关注的是全球大宗商品交易巨头所建立的隐秘商业帝国。它们对地球上的重要自然资源进行交易,覆盖范围从田间到餐桌,从矿山到能源,从中东石油到欧洲天然气。这些重要的资源被它们装进大宗商品交易的“购物车”里,等待合适的时机溢价出售。
老牌大宗商品交易商就像潜伏在深海中的超级巨轮,它们创造了巨额财富帝国,商业版图触及全球各个角落,并将资源丰富的国家卷入国际金融体系。这些资本巨头和权力进行着传统交易——拎着巨额美金的交易员是多个国家领导人的座上宾,他们帮助萨达姆·侯赛因出售石油,在“阿拉伯之春”期间为利比亚叛军提供燃料,他们热衷于从风险中攫取巨额利润。
大宗商品交易商在全球经济领域发挥了至关重要的作用,对世界战略资源的控制也使它们长期扮演着重要的政治角色。但是人们对大宗商品交易商的活动知之甚少,低估了它们的重要性。

盛世的崩塌 :盛唐与安史之乱时期的政治,战争与诗郭建龙 著 天地出版社
大唐王朝从盛世到没落,只有短短八年!安史之乱如何将唐朝拉入深渊,造成毁灭性后果?
安史之乱是唐朝由盛转衰的关键历史节点,作者从唐朝一系列制度设计的缺陷开始讲起,对安史之乱前后唐帝国内部复杂的社会经济危机、中央与地方的关系,以及唐朝外部军事政权的变化进行了深入考察,试图追溯唐朝伟大的盛世如何一步步建立,又是如何迅速崩溃的,探究大厦将倾的历史背景下皇帝、贤相、武将、聚敛集团,以及于洪流中挣扎、沉浮不定的文人们的不同选择和结局。他们共同见证和造就了这一盛世,也在崩塌之时以己之力试图挽救,但都无力回天……
本书分为《盛世》和《崩塌》两大部分,立足两唐书、《资治通鉴》原典,结合相关历史笔记、诗文等资料,用通俗流畅的叙事笔法,细致还原安史之乱历史事件发生的来龙去脉,探寻唐帝国盛衰之变背后的深层成因,以及超越时代的镜鉴意义。
宋杰 著 北京科学技术出版社战争,是在一定的地理环境中进行的,其胜负在很大程度上受地理形势的影响。在大规模战争里,某个或某几个地区由于位置的重要,成为交战双方争夺的热点,它的得失对战局常常具有决定性作用,这种战略要地在军事地理学中被称作“枢纽地区”。
本书上起三代,下迄南宋,对三代之甘、管,秦汉之荥阳及敖仓,三国的合肥、濡须和汉中,北朝至唐中叶的河阳三城,南宋末年的襄阳等枢纽地区进行了细致探讨,并由此出发,对战争的策略、部署、路线等做了全面系统的研究。作者以历史地理学家之卓识洞见,论述历代将领之得失,探究战争胜负背后的成因。同时,书中还探索了枢纽地区的分布和变化问题,以中国历史发展脉络为主线,研讨各个时期兵家要地的转移情况,剖析其中的社会背景与原因。
翦商 :殷周之变与华夏新生李硕 著 广西师范大学出版社本书主要讲述华夏文明的萌生与转型。从距今四千年前夏朝(二里头文化)的出现,到三千年前商朝的灭亡、西周建立,时间跨度一千余年。
从新石器时代以来,华北地区形成了杀人献祭的原始宗教。第一王朝夏朝(二里头)也沿袭了这种人祭文化,并在随后的商朝登峰造极。周族僻处西部,本没有人祭传统,但他们曾投靠商朝,为商朝捕猎用于献祭的羌人。周文王因受到商纣王怀疑,被作为人牲拘禁在殷都,最后,文王的长子伯邑考被纣王献祭。文王学习了商人的易卦占算技术,发展出《易经》的卦、爻辞体系——记录周文王亲历和认知的诸多事件,最终目的是推算“翦商”的战略。
武王灭商后,曾模仿商人的人祭行为;武王死后,由周公辅政,彻底禁绝了人祭宗教,销毁了有关商代人祭的文献记录,并制造出一套没有人祭的理想化历史叙事,以及基于“德”的世俗政治与道德体系。周公的这些举措,开创了新的华夏文明。五百年后,孔子编辑儒家“六经”,系统整理周公的理论成果。周公和孔子塑造了儒家学派,其影响一直持续到现代。
饥饿的盛世 :乾隆时代的得与失张宏杰 著 重庆出版社作者通过对乾隆时代的解构,为读者描绘了一幅五彩斑斓的“盛世”图景,同时深刻揭示了近代中国失落的秘密。
乾隆时代创造了空前的政治稳定,养活了数量空前的人口,奠定了今天的版图。但是,作者从更深的层次看到,表面的繁荣昌盛背后,隐藏着的,是巨大的危机。乾隆在位六十年,正好是英国经历了产业革命的全过程。乾隆十三年(1748年),孟德斯鸠发表了名著《论法的精神》。乾隆四十一年(1776年),美国宣布独立。乾隆五十四年(1789年),法国爆发资产阶级大革命。而在地球的另一端,乾隆皇帝沉浸在“盛世”的梦境中不能自拔,想尽一切办法维持他的封建统治。可以说,中国在这个时期,错失了与世界文明接触的机会,没有赶上世界发展的大潮。这直接导致了中国接下来的持续衰落,甚至沦落为“东亚病夫”。

科学
王立铭 著 新星出版社
1859年,生物进化的观念在达尔文的巨著《物种起源》中正式成形。过去的一百多年中,作为科学理论的进化论本身一直在进化,进化论思想也在持续地“外溢”到人类思想的各个角落。每个人或多或少都熟悉几个和进化论相关的概念,不少人还习惯于用这些概念解释生活中的各种现象。但不得不说,进化论可能是被人们误解多、误用多的科学理论之一。
进化论的正知正见是什么?它的前沿发展又有哪些?更重要的是,作为非生物专业的读者,为什么也要了解进化论?
答案尽在这本讲义里。作者王立铭从复杂的生命现象中抽取出一套简洁的公理体系,并用它穿越40亿年进化历程,呈现了生命起源、增长、适应环境和形成复杂组织的关键要素和完整过程。

Economics
by Peter Zeihan Harper Business
In The End of the World is Just the Beginning, author and geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan maps out the next world: a world where countries or regions will have no choice but to make their own goods, grow their own food, secure their own energy, fight their own battles, and do it all with populations that are both shrinking and aging.
The list of countries that make it all work is smaller than you think. Which means everything about our interconnected world - from how we manufacture products, to how we grow food, to how we keep the lights on, to how we shuttle stuff about, to how we pay for it all - is about to change.
In customary Zeihan fashion, rather than yelling fire in the geoeconomic theatre, he narrates the accumulation of matchsticks, gasoline, and dynamite in the hands of the oblivious audience, suggesting we might want to call the fire department.Signals :The 27 Trends Defining the Future of the Global Economyby Jeff Desjardins WileyIn Signals, Visual Capitalist founder and editor-in-chief Jeff Desjardins and his team explore the 27 most important trends shaping the future of our global economy. This striking book draws on the oceans of data we're all surrounded by to extract insights about where we are and where we are headed—from society and demographics to the environment, digital tech, the markets, and more.

The truth about Crypto :your investing guide to understanding Blockchain, Bitcoin, and other digital assetsby Ric Edelman Simon & Schuster
Blockchain and bitcoin are here to stay—and as the Bank of England stated, this new technology could “transform the global financial system.” No wonder PWC says blockchain technology will add $2 trillion to the world’s $80 trillion economy by 2030. Indeed, blockchain technology and the digital assets it makes possible are revolutionary, the most profound innovation for commerce since the invention of the internet.
And yet, the average investor—and the investment advisors who manage two-thirds of all their money—aren’t aware of all this, or of the incredible investment opportunities now available. Fortunately, Ric Edelman, one of the most influential experts in the financial field, shows investors how they can engage and thrive in today’s new investment marketplace.by Dirk Schoenmaker and Willem Schramade Oxford University PressPrinciples of Sustainable Finance explains how the financial sector can be mobilized to counter this. Using finance as a means to achieve social goals, we can divert the planet and its economy from its current path to a world that is sustainable for all.
Written for undergraduate, graduate, and executive students of finance, economics, business, and sustainability, this textbook combines theory, empirical data, and policy to explain the sustainability challenges for corporate investment. It shows how finance can steer funding to certain companies and projects without sacrificing return and thus speed up the transition to a sustainable economy. It analyses the Sustainable Development Goals as a strategy for a better world and provides evidence that environmental, social, and governance factors matter, explaining in detail how to incorporate these factors in the corporate and financial sectors.

The metail economy :6 strategies for transforming your business to thrive in the me-centric consumer revolutionby Joel Bines McGraw Hill
Armed with computers, tablets, smartphones, and social media, today’s consumers have revolted against the marketplace status quo. Demanding a voice, and sometimes a hand, in the products they buy, these digitally empowered consumers―"Me's"―have inverted the traditional power dynamics of retail into Metail. To put it simply, your customers are now in charge, and you must recognize and embrace this fact in order to survive in new Metail economy.
From Joel Bines, one of today’s top retail brand thought leaders, The Metail Economy provides innovative methods for connecting with the Me-centric consumer and shows how to thrive in this consumer revolution. Bines provides examples of companies that have failed to address the Metail paradigm, along with those that are on the right path, clearly illustrating how the traditional power dynamic has inverted and why it matters for business survival.
Profit from the source :transforming your business by putting suppliers at the coreby Christian Schuh, Wolfgang Schnellbacher, Alenka Triplat, Daniel Weise Harvard Business Review PressIn most companies, procurement is an unglamorous, unloved part of the business. A job in the procurement office? A fast track to nowhere. Sourcing and supplier management is strictly about costs, the thinking goes, and all that matters is playing hardball to get these as low as possible. No connection to innovation or strategy or creating positive value.
Not so fast. As Boston Consulting Group thought leaders Christian Schuh, Wolfgang Schnellbächer, Alenka Triplat, and Daniel Weise explain in Profit from the Source, procurement should be regarded in a new light, because it has the potential to be a CEO's secret weapon in these fast-moving, disruptive times. The authors offer a wake-up call and a new strategic blueprint for leaders everywhere. With vivid stories and in-depth case studies, they illustrate that no other business function offers the same holistic view of a company—from suppliers who provide the organization with raw materials and components to consumers who buy the finished product. While it's true that a core task of any procurement function is to keep costs from spiraling out of control, the authors show how procurement can help businesses generate phenomenal value from five other sources of competitive advantage critical to success—innovation, quality, sustainability, speed, and risk reduction.
The smart mission :NASA's lessons for managing knowledge, people, and projectsby Edward J. Hoffman, Matthew Kohut, and Laurence Prusak The MIT PressThe project is the basic unit of work in many industries. Software applications, antiviral vaccines, launch-ready spacecraft: all were produced by a team and managed as a project. Project management emphasizes control, processes, and tools—but, according to The Smart Mission, that is not the right way to run a project. Human skills and expertise, not technical tools, are what make projects successful. Projects run on knowledge. This paradigm-shifting book—by three project management experts, all of whom have decades of experience at NASA and elsewhere—challenges the conventional wisdom on project management, focusing on the human dimension: learning, collaboration, teaming, communication, and culture.

Build :an unorthodox guide to making things worth makingby Tony Fadell Harper Business
Each quick entry builds on the previous one, charting Tony’s personal journey from a product designer to a leader, from a startup founder to an executive to a mentor. Tony uses examples that are instantly captivating, like the process of building the very first iPod and iPhone. Every chapter is designed to help listeners with a problem they’re facing right now—how to get funding for their startup, whether to quit their job or not, or just how to deal with the jerk in the next cubicle.
Tony forged his path to success alongside mentors like Steve Jobs and Bill Campbell, icons of Silicon Valley who succeeded time and time again. But Tony doesn’t follow the Silicon Valley credo that you have to reinvent everything from scratch to make something great. His advice is unorthodox because it’s old school. Because Tony’s learned that human nature doesn’t change. You don’t have to reinvent how you lead and manage—just what you make.
