Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment By : Daniel Kahneman ==>> READ BOOK NOW   ==>> DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : From the bestselling author of Thinking, Fast and Slow and the co-author of Nudge, a groundbreaking exploration of why most people make bad judgments, and how to control for that noise.? Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients ? or that two judges in the same courthouse give different sentences to people who have committed the same crime. Suppose that different food inspectors give different ratings to indistinguishable restaurants ? or that when a company is handling customer complaints, the resolution depends on who happens to be handling the particular complaint. Now imagine that the same doctor, the same judge, the same inspector, or the same company official makes different decisions, depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday.

PDF Human Action: A Treatise On Economics Writen By Ludwig von Mises

Image
Human Action: A Treatise On Economics By : Ludwig von Mises ==>> READ BOOK NOW   ==>> DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : In the foreword to Human Action: A Treatise on Economics , Mises explains complex market phenomena as "the outcomes of countless conscious, purposive actions, choices, and preferences of individuals, each of whom was trying as best as he or she could under the circumstances to attain various wants and ends and to avoid undesired consequences." It is individual choices in response to personal subjective value judgments that ultimately determine market phenomena?supply and demand, prices, the pattern of production, and even profits and losses. Although governments may presume to set "prices," it is individuals who, by their actions and choices through competitive bidding for money, products, and services, actually determine "prices". Thus, Mises presents economics?not as a study of material goods, services, and products?but...

Electrifying in its simplicity -- like all great breakthroughs -- Porter's analysis of industries captures the complexity of industry competition in five underlying forces.

He shows how competitive advantage can be defined in terms of relative cost and relative prices, thus linking it directly to profitability, and presents a whole new perspective on how profit is created and divided.

Capital (Volume 2) By : Karl Marx ==>> READ BOOK NOW   ==>> DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : It was the close friendship and professional association between Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that enabled Marx?s full vision presented in Capital: A Critique of Political Economy to come to fruition. Following Marx?s death in 1883, Engels was able to step into the breach and, drawing on Marx?s extensive notes and writings, complete volume 2 of Capital, leading to its publication in 1885. Here, Marx turns his attention to the money owner, the money lender, the wholesale merchant, the trader and the entrepreneur or 'functioning capitalist.' The work is divided into three parts: 'The Metamorphosis of Capital and Their Circuits'; 'The Turnover of Capital'; and finally 'The Reproduction and Circulation of the Aggregate Social Capital'. Though more theoretical and perhaps thus more challenging than volume 1, Marx?s intentions in volume 2 were clear: ?...
