From award-winning economic historian Sanford M. Jacoby, a fascinating and important study of the labor movement and shareholder capitalismSince the 1970s, American unions have shrunk dramatically, as has their economic clout. Labor in the Age of Finance traces the search for new sources of power, showing how unions turned financialization to their advantage.Sanford Jacoby catalogs the array of allies and finance-based tactics labor deployed to stanch membership losses in the private sector. By leveraging pension capital, unions restructured corporate governance around issues like executive pay and accountability. In Congress, they drew on their political influence to press for corporate reforms in the wake of business scandals and the financial crisis. The effort restrained imperial CEOs but could not bridge the divide between workers and owners. Wages lagged behind investor returns, feeding the inequality identified by Occupy Wall Street. And labor's slide continued.A compelling blend of history, economics, and politics, Labor in the Age of Finance explores the paradox of capital bestowing power to labor in the tumultuous era of Enron, Lehman Brothers, and Dodd-Frank.

For fans of James Clear, Nassim Taleb, and Malcolm Gladwell: Stop being someone who could succeed and become someone who predictably should succeed by using a revolutionary "probability hacking" framework to increase your odds of success. Every goal that you're pursuing has two hidden numbers attached to it--a probability of success and a probability of failure. Whether you're trying to start a business, run a marathon, get a promotion, earn a pilot's license, grow a bumper crop of tomatoes, or sign an acting deal, these two percentages are always lurking in the shadows predicting what is going to happen. But most of us never think about them. We assume our odds are unknowable and unchangeable. This dangerous lie leads millions of people to fail at goals where they were perfectly capable of succeeding. You can choose a smarter path. In Success is a Numbers Game, you'll discover: A game-changing new way to diagram a goal and deepen your understanding of how likely you are to achieve it. A five-step framework for hacking your "success diagram" to dramatically improve your odds of getting the outcome you want.A simple test for knowing which of your biggest goals to prioritize and which to quit immediately.An upgraded approach to decision making that illuminates optimal choices by exposing potential futures.>In the context of a single goal, Young's system could be the secret advantage that changes your outcome. Over the course of several goals, it could transform the trajectory of your career. Applied to a lifetime of goals, it can level up your legacy. Discover the life-changing power of probabilistic thinking through a rich variety of unforgettable stories--starring Abraham Lincoln, Marilyn Monroe, a forensic pathologist who's conducted over 20,000 autopsies, and a team of Olympic athletes who changed the course of history. If you're ready to win more, lose less, and wake up with the sturdy confidence that comes from having the odds on your side, Success is a Numbers Game is a must-read.

Amazon is everywhere. In our mailboxes, in delivery vans clogging our streets, in an increasing portion of our air traffic, in our grocery stores, on our televisions, in our smart home devices, and in the infrastructure powering many of the websites we visit. Amazon's tendrils touch the majority of online retail transactions in the United States and in many other countries. As Amazon changes the face of capitalist business, it is also changing global culture in multiple ways. This book brings together some of the most important analyses of Amazon's pioneering business practices and how they intersect with and affect the components of everyday culture. Its contributors examine the political economy of Amazon's platform, making the argument that it operates as an unregulated monopoly that is disruptive to the global economy and that its infrastructure and logistical operations increasingly alienate its workers and wreak many other social harms.Our contributors outline the practices of resistance that have been employed by organizers ranging from Amazon employees to artists to digital piecemeal laborers working on Amazon's Mechanical Turk platform. They examine the broader cultural impact that Amazon has had, looking at things like Amazon Prime and the creation of unending consumption, the absorption of Whole Foods and its brand of 'conscious capitalism,' and the impact of Amazon Studios and Prime Video on everyday film and television viewing practices.This book examines the broader environmental impacts that Amazon is having on the world, looking at the slow violence it incurs, its underwhelming Climate Pledge, and the regional impacts that its business practices have. Lastly, this book gathers together some important artistic responses to Amazon for the first time in an appendix that offers readers insight into other ways in which critics of the company are making their voices heard and attempting to move broader audiences into solidarity against Amazon.

Praise for THE CHINA BUSINESS CONUNDRUM "I couldn't put down this engrossing tale of Chinese government partners manipulating and milking SVB to create local competitors. While most victims of this all-too-common swindle quietly slink away, Ken Wilcox has the humility and moxie to go public with this cautionary tale." --JAMES McGREGOR, author of One Billion Customers "This account of establishing a bank for start-ups in China simply gallops along with twists and turns and surprises. It's a salutary tale of how Western assumptions, hopes, and expectations prime companies for failure in the Chinese context. I'm giving copies to all my CEOs, past and present." --FELDA HARDYMON, MBA Class of 1975 Professor of Management Practice at Harvard Business School, emeritus; Partner emeritus, Bessemer Venture Partners "The inside story of how Silicon Valley Bank stumbled in China." -- DAVID BARBOZA, co-founder of The Wire: China, former two-time Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times columnist "Ken Wilcox is uniquely qualified to offer insights on doing business in China. In particular, his admonitions about the Chinese Communist Party and its ability to control everything it touches are chilling. As the author of The China Business Conundrum, Ken will bring you to understand that you are most at risk when you come to believe that you have a full grasp of your situation. In all probability, You are not even close! Read it once and then read it again!" -- ALEX W. "PETE" HART, former CEO of Mastercard International and financial services industry veteran, former Chairman of the Board, Silicon Valley Bancshares "While working in China, banking executive Ken Wilcox kept his eyes open and became deeply skeptical about the CCP's willingness to actually collaborate with foreign businesses. The China Business Conundrum is a much-needed antidote to Party bromides about 'win-win' scenarios." -- ORVILLE SCHELL, Vice President, Asia Society & Arthur Ross Director, Center on U.S.-China Relations
