English | 2026 | ISBN-10: 1787786331 | 336 pages |PDF AI Firing Freeze: Why fully-staffed organizations thrive in an AI-driven economy challenges one of the biggest assumptions in modern business; that artificial intelligence capabilities should automatically lead to workforce reduction. As organizations race to implement AI chatbots, AI agents and agentic AI solutions, many are planning layoffs and hiring freezes in pursuit of short-term cost savings. But what if that strategy is fundamentally flawed? Drawing on proven patterns of technological transformation, innovation, market expansion and real-world operational risks, AI Firing Freeze argues that the organizations most likely to thrive in an AI-driven economy will not be those that aggressively reduce headcount, but those that retain, repurpose and upskill their teams to work alongside AI for exponential results. AI Firing Freeze shows you how to combine the strengths of AI with the human insight, critical thinking, experience, curation and governance your organization needs for success.

English | 368 pages | OUP US; Illustrated edition (26 Jan. 2011) | 0195388828 | PDF | In this lively new book, Kathleen C. Engel and Patricia A. McCoy tell the full story behind the subprime crisis. The authors, experts in the law and economics of financial regulation and consumer lending, offer a sharply reasoned, but accessible account of the actions that produced the greatest economic collapse since the Great Depression. The Subprime Virus reveals how consumer abuses in a once obscure corner of the home mortgage market led to the near meltdown of the world's financial system. Wall Street peddled subprime loans to investors through complex but dodgy financial instruments that spread like a virus. A central theme in the book is the role of federal banking and securities regulators, who were well aware of lenders' risky, deceptive mortgages and of Wall Street's addiction to high stakes financing. These regulators, believing that markets would self-correct, did nothing until the crisis erupted. While the spread of the subprime virus resulted from economic and political failures, its lessons inform the building of a new, more stable, prosperous and just financial order.

Charles Goyette | 2010 | ISBN: 1591843707 | English | 272 pages | PDF | 1 MB The New York Times bestseller-an investment book for the coming age of high inflation. On the heels of the most recent economic crisis, America is headed toward another: high inflation and dollar devaluation. The signs are clear: Federal debt is compounding while growth has stalled, and America's foreign creditors are questioning the dollar's reserve currency status. Meanwhile, the "hidden" federal debt, much larger than the official debt, makes things even worse. But the good news, according to Charles Goyette, is that those who are prepared can protect themselves-and even profit-in this new era. Drawing on historical examples and a clear, down-to-earth analysis, he explains the importance of gold, silver, and other alternative investments when inflation takes off. He also gives readers the investing tools to protect their savings and capitalize on the opportunities ahead. Savvy readers don't have to be left holding the bag after decades of government irresponsibility.

English | 2026 | ISBN-10: 1647826829 | 256 pages| Epub | 3 MB How outdated work norms undermine careers, caregiving, and gender equity—and how leaders can fix the system. The workplace is broken—and it's holding everyone back. Women still struggle to grow in their careers, while men who endeavor to do their part at home are often stigmatized. This disconnect means that even when men take part in flexible work arrangements or contribute to caregiving, women end up picking up the slack and missing out on professional opportunities. If companies want to reach their full potential and achieve true fairness at work, the workplace must change—and it starts at the top. In Fair Share, gender-in-the-workplace experts W. Brad Johnson and David G. Smith offer a blueprint for how leaders can break down systemic barriers across the organization so that men can do more outside of paid work and women can take their rightful place in the ranks of corporate leadership. They suggest focusing on three key areas Rethinking company culture and the structure of work Going all-in on caregiving options and employee benefits Making gender fairness routine through process and policies
