Amazon verified review: Dans le livre « L’enfer c’est lui : Génocide économique », Jo M. Sekimonyo nous éclaire, en langage simple et éloquent, sur les écueils du capitalisme d’aujourd’hui et sur son barbarisme d’avant. Les effets de son exploit ne sont pas seulement ressentis localement, mais se déplacent vite et loin comme dans la théorie du chaos. Sauf que dans ce cas-ci, ce n’est pas un papillon qui bat de ses ailes dans un point chaud pour expédier un ouragan dans un autre. C’est fortement éducatif sans être comme un livre scolaire. September 22, 2015 Le capitalisme est une histoire d'amour qui finit mal. Que penser des stériles combats de coqs entre les diverses divinités capitalistes de notre époque ? Vous devriez être aussi révulsés que moi à la vision de ces clowneries qui empêchent tout dialogue réel sur les inégalités économiques. Le socialisme et le communisme ont échoué, mais c'est le capitalisme qui nous empêche d'avancer. Je laisse les cuistres de la caste des économistes dits sérieux à leurs débats microscopiques, pour vous inviter à un voyage à contre-courant. Les six premiers chapitres constituent un procès en bonne et due forme du statu quo capitaliste. Si vous tenez bon jusqu'au chapitre sept, préparez-vous à la grande claque de ceux qui suivent, et digérez-les bien. Ne vous inquiétez pas, je suis là pour vous guider. Le douzième et dernier chapitre conclura en essayant de rester fidèle à l'injonction de James Tobin : « En matière d'économie, les bons articles sont ceux qui surprennent et appellent à de nouveaux travaux. ».

Do we need an Economic Jihad? What can you say about the boring cock-fights between Capitalism deities of our time? You should be as disgusted as I am of these clown shows that chip away the substance of economic disparity dialogues. I have left to the class of economist sloppy cerebral sloths, to tiptoeing around of serious issues. Instead, you, the reader, and I will be swimming against the torrent current. Chapter one through six are exhibits of the case against the current status quo, Capitalism. And if I see you on the other side of chapter seven, please hold my hand tightly from chapter eight through ten. Take your time to digest chapter eleven and get yourself prepared for a big slap to your face. On the closing argument, chapter twelve follows through James Tobin's recommendation: ”Good papers in economics contain surprises and stimulate further work.” Fifty Five Shades of Political Economy…. What demon possessed me to write this book? Well after walking by, giving my spare change to people blinded and asphyxiated by misery, in every country I have been lucky or cursed to travel to, I asked myself repeatedly, what else can I do?! I was tired of capitalist guardians' buffoonery, angry of the so called Karl Mark reincarnation ineptness, and tired of waiting for a superhero. I wrote this book to awake the general public consciousness and put out there a thought provoking solution to the global socio-economic plight. Stories about inequality have been told on and on. Nevertheless, I decided to stir the debate onto a new path, let's hope that I succeed. This book is for everyone who is fed up by the status quo and has been let down by the lumpenintellectuals. Let me first reassure most people who could be intimidated to pick up my book, once they hear that it is a political economic book; it is easier to answer the question of what my book is not about. There's no math nor graphs; I left it to the economic druids the need of inflating their egos and any smart asses who bamboozle the world with crazy theories that do not stand the test of real life. My book is a case against the social economic status quo, a roller-coaster ride through a volcanic ash cloud for all of us who have been busted, bruised and despondent from the current dominant form of economy: capitalism. And then, I hold the reader's hand into the new 21st century paradigm that changes everything. And right at the end, I provide a real rabble-rousing solution. I can expect that the only challenge in this book is the new terminology and concepts that I introduce to the readers that they have to adjust to, such as Ethosism.

Jo M. Sekimonyo, ”Cehennem O'dur: Ekonomik intihar” kitabında bize, günümüz kapitalizminin tuzakları ve daha önceki barbarlığı konusunda, basit ve etkileyici bir dille yol gösteriyor. Sömürüsünün etkileri yalnızca yerel biçimde hissedilmiyor ayrıca kaos teorisindeki gibi hızlı ve geniş şekilde yayılıyor. Buradaki durumun dışında, bu sıcak bir noktada kanatlarını çırparak bir kasırgayı başından savıp diğerine tutulan bir kelebek değil. Bu akademik bir kitap olmamasına rağmen oldukça eğitici. 22 Eylül 2015 Kapitalizm, sonu kötü biten bir aşk hikayesi. Çağımızın kapitalizm tanrıları arasındaki rahatsız edici horoz dövüşü hakkında ne diyebiliriz ? Ekonomik eşitsizliklerle ilgili konuşmaların özünden giderek uzaklaşan soytarıların gösterileri sizin midenizi de benimki kadar bulandırıyor olmalı. Sosyalizm ve Komünizm başarısız oldu, ama şimdi ilerlememizi engelleyen şey Kapitalizm. Sözde ciddi iktisatçılar kastının ukalalarını mikroskobik tartışmalarına bırakıp sizi akıntıya karşı bir yolculuğa davet ediyorum. İlk altı bölüm iyi ve uygun formda bir kapitalist statüko sürecini oluşturuyor. Eğer yedinci bölüme kadar iyi durumdaysanız, arkasından gelecek olanların büyük tokadına hazırlanın ve bunları iyi hazmedin. Onunikinci ve son bölüm James Tobin'in buyruğuna sadık kalmaya çalışarak sona eriyor: « İyi ekonomi makaleleri sürprizler içerir ve başka çalışmlara sevkeder. »

Abbiamo bisogno di una Jihad economica? Cosa puoi dire delle noiose battaglie tra le divinità del capitalismo del nostro tempo? Dovresti essere disgustato come lo sono io di questi spettacoli di clown che eliminano la sostanza dei dialoghi di disparità economica. Ho lasciato la classe di bradipi cerebrali sciatta di economista, per andare in giro intorno a questioni serie. Invece tu, il lettore, e io nuoteremo contro la corrente del torrente. I capitoli dal primo al sei sono esposti al caso contro lo status quo corrente, il capitalismo. E se ti vedo dall'altra parte del capitolo sette, ti prego stringimi forte la mano dal capitolo otto al dieci. Prenditi il tuo tempo per digerire il capitolo undici e prepararti per un grande schiaffo in faccia. Sulla discussione conclusiva, il capitolo dodici segue la raccomandazione di James Tobin: ”I buoni documenti in economia contengono sorprese e stimolano ulteriori lavori”. Cinquantacinque sfumature di economia politica .... Quale demone mi ha posseduto per scrivere questo libro? Be' dopo aver camminato, dando il mio ricambio alle persone accecate e asfissiate dalla miseria, in ogni paese in cui sono stato fortunato o maledetto, mi sono chiesto ripetutamente, che altro posso fare ?! Ero stanco della buffoneria dei guardiani capitalisti, arrabbiato della cosiddetta inettitudine della reincarnazione di Karl Mark, e stanco di aspettare un supereroe. Ho scritto questo libro per risvegliare la coscienza generale dell'opinione pubblica e mettere lì fuori una soluzione stimolante per la situazione socioeconomica globale. Le storie sull'ineguaglianza sono state raccontate senza sosta. Tuttavia, ho deciso di portare il dibattito su un nuovo percorso, speriamo che ci riesca. Questo libro è per tutti coloro che sono stufi dello status quo e sono stati delusi dai presunti intellettuali. Vorrei prima rassicurare la maggior parte delle persone che potrebbero essere intimidite a prendere il mio libro, una volta che hanno sentito che si tratta di un libro economico politico; è più facile rispondere alla domanda su cosa non tratta il mio libro. Non ci sono né matematica né grafici; Ho lasciato ai druidi economici la necessità di gonfiare il loro ego e qualsiasi asino intelligente che imbrogli il mondo con teorie pazzesche che non sopportano la prova della vita reale. Il mio libro è un caso contro lo status quo economico sociale, una corsa sulle montagne russe attraverso una nube di cenere vulcanica per tutti noi che siamo stati arrestati, feriti e scoraggiati dall'attuale forma dominante di economia: il capitalismo. E poi, tengo la mano del lettore nel nuovo paradigma del ventunesimo secolo che cambia tutto. E proprio alla fine, fornisco una vera soluzione che fa rabbrividire. Posso aspettarmi che l'unica sfida in questo libro sia la nuova terminologia e concetti che introduco ai lettori a cui devono adeguarsi, come l'Ethosism.

Venezia e il suo polo industriale. Un insediamento produttivo, tra i maggiori ì n Europa, a ridosso della città storica e di un ecosistema lagunare unico e delicatissimo: quale rischio ambientale e quale compatibilità? Venezia e il suo polo industriale. Un insediamento produttivo, tra i maggiori ì n Europa, a ridosso della città storica e di un ecosistema lagunare unico e delicatissimo: quale rischio ambientale e quale compatibilità? Porto Marghera, ovverossia il gigantismo industriale nel Veneto della piccola e diffusa impresa produttiva: quale relazione tra due morfologie produttive così diverse? Questi problemi e le lotte sindacali e politiche per gestire il cambiamento dell’ultimo trentennio, analizzati e raccontati con interviste a personalità “chiave” nelle vicende veneziane e nazionali: Gastone Angelin, Giorgio Brazzolotto, Cesco Chinello, Roberto Coin, Gianni De Michelis, Wladimiro Dorigo, Girolamo Federici, Pio Galli, Giosuè Orlando, Gianni Pellicani, Roberto Pravatà, Turiddu Pugliese, Giuseppe Rosa Salva, Luigi Ruspini, Italo Turdò, Gianmario Vianello. Uno specchio delle difficoltà a trasformare il Paese.

¿Necesitamos una yihad económica? ¿Qué puedes decir de las aburridas peleas de gallos entre las deidades capitalistas de nuestro tiempo? Debería estar tan disgustado como yo por estos espectáculos de payasos que quitan la sustancia de los diálogos sobre la disparidad económica. He dejado a la clase de economistas perezosos, descuidados cerebrales, a andar de puntillas alrededor de temas serios. En su lugar, usted, el lector y yo estaremos nadando contra la corriente del torrente. Los capítulos uno al seis son exhibiciones del caso contra el statu quo actual, el capitalismo. Y si le veo al otro lado del capítulo siete, por favor sostenga mi mano firmemente desde el capítulo ocho hasta el diez. Tómese su tiempo para digerir el capítulo once y prepárese para una gran bofetada en su cara. Sobre el argumento final, el capítulo doce sigue a través de la recomendación de James Tobin: ”Los buenos documentos en economía contienen sorpresas y estimulan el trabajo adicional”. Cincuenta y cinco sombras de la economía política..... ¿Qué demonio me poseyó para escribir este libro? Mucho después de caminar, dando mi cambio sobrante a personas cegadas y asfixiadas por la miseria, en todos los países a los que he tenido la suerte o la maldición de viajar, me pregunté repetidamente, ¿qué más puedo hacer? Estaba cansado de las bufonadas de los guardianes capitalistas, enojado de la llamada ineptitud de la reencarnación de Karl Mark y cansado de esperar a un superhéroe. Escribí este libro para despertar la conciencia del público en general y poner ahí una solución que provocara la reflexión sobre la difícil situación socioeconómica mundial. Las historias sobre la desigualdad han sido contadas una y otra vez. Sin embargo, decidí abrir el debate por un nuevo camino, esperemos que tenga éxito. Este libro es para todos los que están hartos del statu quo y han sido defraudados por los lumpenintelectuales. Permítanme primero tranquilizar a la mayoría de las personas que podrían sentirse intimidadas para acoger mi libro, una vez que se enteren de que es un libro político-económico; es más fácil responder a la pregunta de qué es lo que mi libro no trata. No hay matemáticas ni gráficos; le dejé a los druidas económicos la necesidad de inflar sus egos y cualesquiera asnos inteligentes que embaucan al mundo con teorías locas que no resisten la prueba de la vida real. Mi libro es un caso contra el statu quo económico social, una montaña rusa a través de una nube de cenizas volcánicas para todos nosotros, que hemos sido arrestados, magullados y desanimados por la actual forma dominante de economía: el capitalismo. Y luego, tomo la mano del lector hacia el nuevo paradigma del siglo XXI que lo cambia todo. Y justo al final, ofrezco una verdadera solución que despierta a la chusma. Puedo esperar que el único desafío en este libro sea la nueva terminología y los nuevos conceptos que presento a los lectores, a los que tienen que adaptarse, como el etosismo.

Engage on a deeper level by disrupting the typical business development script Authentic Marketing offers a forward-thinking approach to achieving an entirely new level of engagement with today’s purpose-driven and skeptical audiences. The heart of this process involves finding the soul of your organization. When moral purpose becomes central to your organization, it can deliver benefits to both the bottom line and mankind: a profit meets purpose proposition.

When moral purpose is central to an organization’s core, everything branches out from a place of authenticity. Rather than a siloed CSR effort, you develop employee and customer relationships based on real—not curated—connections with a brand’s moral mission. You build true engagement, trust and evangelism. And, along the way, your customers will actually help to co-create your brand. This book shows you how to transform your business by putting moral purpose to work for your stakeholders and the planet. Embrace a new model that integrates business, technology innovation, and engagement strategies with moral purpose as the glue that binds them together Learn the key steps to find your moral purpose Discover how to engage audiences with a transparent, authentic marketing approach that forges powerful connections and builds trust.

Tear down the obstacles to creative innovation in your organization Unlocking Creativity is an exploration of the creative process and how organizations can clear the way for innovation. In many organizations, creative individuals face stubborn resistance to new ideas. Managers and executives oftentimes reject innovation and unconventional approaches due to misplaced allegiance to the status quo. Questioning established practices or challenging prevailing sentiments is frequently met with stiff resistance. In this climate of stifled creativity and inflexible adherence to conventional wisdom, potentially game-changing ideas are dismissed outright. Senior leaders claim to value creativity, yet often lack the knowledge to provide a creative framework. Unlocking Creativity offers effective methods and real-world examples of how the most successful organizations create cultures of innovation and experimentation. Best-selling author and scholar Michael Roberto presents a thorough investigation of organizational obstacles to creative thought. Highly relevant to the growth crises many enterprises face in today’s economic landscape, this book examines how to break barriers to spark creativity and foster new ideas. This insightful and informative work allows business executives, senior managers, and organization leaders to: Recognize the six organizational mindsets that impede creativity and innovation Learn how to tear down the barriers that obstruct the creative process Create an environment that allows talented people to thrive Encourage creative collaboration in teams throughout an organization Leaders do not have to conceive innovative ideas, but rather open the path for curious and creative employees within their organization. Unlocking Creativity: How to Solve Any Problem and Make the Best Decisions aids organizations in removing obstacles to the creative process and helps to form an atmosphere of imagination and innovation.

Gain a holistic view of agricultural (re)insurance and capital market risk transfer Increasing agricultural production and food security remain key challenges for mankind. In order to meet global food demand, the Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates that production has to increase by 50% by 2050 and requires large investments. Agricultural insurance and financial instruments have been an integral part to advancing productivity and are becoming more important in increasingly globalized and specialized agricultural supply chains in the wake of potentially more frequent and severe natural disasters in today’s key producing markets. Underwriting, pricing and transferring agricultural risks is complex and requires a solid understanding of the production system, exposure, perils and the most suitable products, which vastly differ among developed and developing markets. In the last decade, new insurance schemes in emerging agricultural markets have greatly contributed to the large growth of the industry from a premium volume of US$10.1 billion (2006) to US$30.7 billion (2017). This growth is bound to continue as insurance penetration and exposure increase and new schemes are being developed. Agricultural (re)insurance has become a cornerstone of sovereign disaster risk financing frameworks. Agricultural Risk Transfer introduces the main concepts of agricultural (re)insurance and capital market risk transfer that are discussed through industry case studies. It also discusses best industry practices for all main insurance products for crop, livestock, aquaculture and forestry risks including risk assessment, underwriting, pricing, modelling and loss adjustment. Describes agricultural production risks and risk management approaches Covers risk transfer of production and financial risks through insurance and financial instruments Introduces modelling concepts for the main perils and key data sources that support risk transfer through indemnity- and index-based products Describes risk pricing and underwriting approaches for crop, livestock, aquaculture and forestry exposure in developed and developing agricultural systems Become familiar with risk transfer concepts to reinsurance and capital markets Get to know the current market landscape and main risk transfer products for individual producers, agribusinesses and governments through theory and comprehensive industry case studies Through Agricultural Risk Transfer, you’ll gain a holistic view of agricultural (re)insurance and capital market solutions which will support better underwriting, more structured product development and improved risk transfer.

Product information is excessively commercial and technical. There is no single best product for all, and the price/quality ratio can be deceptive. Word of mouth is growing with opinions shared on the internet. This book calls for the reinvention of a new economy based on real requirements, not only for profit or “technology” but for qualities of use and the environment. A product’s use is its purpose. An innovation must always be an improvement to qualities of use. The emergence of new technologies, such as connected objects and the autonomous car, form a new trap for innovation, and progress has been limited to the perfection of technique. Marketing must no longer confuse the consumer (the customer) and the user. Complete with methodology for the reader to follow, this book describes how the ecology of use can become the main wealth of an economy based on quality of life and well-being.
