Capital Ideas traces the origins of modern Wall Street, from the pioneering work of early scholars and the development of new theories in risk, valuation, and investment returns, to the actual implementation of these theories in the real world of investment management. Bernstein brings to life a variety of brilliant academics who have contributed to modern investment theory over the years: Louis Bachelier, Harry Markowitz, William Sharpe, Fischer Black, Myron Scholes, Robert Merton, Franco Modigliani, and Merton Miller. Filled with in–depth insights and timeless advice, Capital Ideas reveals how the unique contributions of these talented individuals profoundly changed the practice of investment management as we know it today.

This book contains profiles of some of America's richest people and how they got that way - and how you can too.

Whether you aspire to shameful wealth or just a demure fortune, bestselling author and self-made billionaire, Ken Fisher, will show you how to walk in the footsteps of tycoons-all the way to the financial success you dream of and deserve. Packed with amusing anecdotes of individuals who have traveled (or tumbled) down each road to wealth. It extracts valuable lessons on how you, too, can achieve serious wealth, and, just as importantly, hold onto it. It provides powerful tools for determining what you need to do to position yourself for success and "Guideposts" and "Warning Signs" to help keep you safely on your road to success.

繁华闪耀的香港，文艺作品里的香港，娱乐明星的香港，街巷美味的香港，疯狂购物的香港，迪士尼乐园的香港，颠沛流离终于回家的香港，充满活力又无所依傍的香港。受关注的香港，被遗忘的香港。自由的香港，压抑的香港。
你的香港，我的香港。
他的香港。
自称“港怂”的北漂律师徐天成，看 到廖信忠所著《我们台湾这些年》之后，深受启发，希望能以一位普通香港人的视角，通过自己那支微小但真切的笔，来说说一个真实甚至未知的香港。
徐天成与廖信忠同为1977年生人，这30多年来，香港的发展？香港人的心理归属感究竟是怎样的？香港的身份和台湾有什么不同？香港回归前后，当地人的生活有何变化？香港人是怎么看内地人的？
一本书无法展现全貌，只不过是一个普通香港人的真实告白。在“借来的地方”，他们如此生活。

The 1980s was the most outrageous and turbulent era in the financial market since the crash of '29, not only on Wall Street but around the world. Michael Lewis, as a trainee at Salomon Brothers in New York and as an investment banker and later financial journalist, was uniquely positioned to chronicle the ambition and folly that fueled the decade.

A portrait of a great American dynasty and its legacy in business, technology, the arts, and philanthropy Meyer Guggenheim, a Swiss immigrant, founded a great American business dynasty. At their peak in the early twentieth century, the Guggenheims were reckoned among America's wealthiest, and the richest Jewish family in the world after the Rothschilds. They belonged to Our Crowd, that tight social circle of New York Jewish plutocrats, but unlike the others -- primarily merchants and financiers -- they made their money by extracting and refining copper, silver, lead, tin, and gold. The secret of their success, the patriarch believed, was their unity, and in the early years Meyer's seven sons, under the leadership of Daniel, worked as one to expand their growing mining and smelting empire. Family solidarity eventually decayed (along with their Jewish faith), but even more damaging was the paucity of male heirs as Meyer and the original set of brothers passed from the scene. In the third generation, Harry Guggenheim, Daniel's son, took over leadership and made the family a force in aviation, publishing, and horse-racing. He desperately sought a successor but tragically failed and was forced to watch as the great Guggenheim business enterprise crumbled. Meanwhile, "Guggenheim" came to mean art more than industry. In the mid-twentieth century, led by Meyer's son Solomon and Solomon's niece Peggy, the Guggenheims became the agents of modernism in the visual arts. Peggy, in America during the war years, midwifed the school of abstract expressionism, which brought art leadership to New York City. Solomon's museum has been innovative in spreading the riches of Western art around the world. After the generation of Harry and Peggy, the family has continued to produce many accomplished members, such as publisher Roger Straus II and archaeologist Iris Love. In The Guggenheims , through meticulous research and absorbing prose, Irwin Unger, the winner of a Pulitzer Prize in history, and his wife, Debi Unger, convey a unique and remarkable story -- epic in its scope -- of one family's amazing rise to prominence.

The real inventor of the steam engine. The creator of the bra. The man who invented modern banking. The creator of the computer operating system. These and scores of others are the characters that populate Harold Evans's rollicking, brilliant history of the men and women who made America great. Vast and beautifully designed with hundreds of duotones and photos throughout (many never before published), the book is itself a creation as grand as those it describes. Evans reveals the surprising truths behind many of the creations that made our modern world, as well as the lessons we can learn by studying the great entrepreneurs and innovators of the past two centuries.

Best-selling author Michael Lewis examines how a Nobel Prize–winning theory of the mind altered our perception of reality.
Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original studies undoing our assumptions about the decision-making process. Their papers showed the ways in which the human mind erred, systematically, when forced to make judgments about uncertain situations. Their work created the field of behavioral economics, revolutionized Big Data studies, advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government regulation, and made much of Michael Lewis’s own work possible. Kahneman and Tversky are more responsible than anybody for the powerful trend to mistrust human intuition and defer to algorithms.
The Undoing Project is about the fascinating collaboration between two men who have the dimensions of great literary figures. They became heroes in the university and on the battlefield―both had important careers in the Israeli military―and their research was deeply linked to their extraordinary life experiences. In the process they may well have changed, for good, mankind’s view of its own mind.

Israel leads the world in start-ups, particularly in the tech sector, and Senor and Singer explain why in this compelling book. Among the reasons: The social networks and educational opportunities afforded by near-universal military service; lax immigration laws that create a diversity of thought and experience; and an authority-questioning worldview that keeps complacency at bay and hierarchies relatively flat. As a strictly non-Zionist Jew (that means I feel no cultural connection with Israel or with the notion of a homeland), even I was considering emigration when I finished this book! - Stepcase Lifehack

本书记录了一群在中国创造属于自己历史的人和他们的故事，他们是中国互联网自1995年兴起的波澜壮阔中的弄潮儿和财富新贵的代表：马化腾、丁磊、张朝阳、马云、陈天桥、李彦宏、史玉柱、田溯宁、张树新、王志东、王峻涛、雷军、周鸿祎、陈一舟……他们用互联网创造和推动着这个国家的历史，并改写了自己的财富路径，他们分属于三类人：海归（从海外归来的创业者）、本土技术爱好者（极客）和商业价值发现者（商人）。
中国互联网产业作为一个产业，从诞生到现在不过15年时间，但在短短的15年里，却产生了接近40家在海外市场上上市的公司，其中超过15家公司达到过10亿美元市值的高位，这些公司的领袖以其无比阳光的财富路径，成为新一代中国企业家的中坚力量。但我们不能简单地把中国互联网的成功看作是一个支柱产业的崛起这么简单，而更应该把它看作是我们这个民族在改革开放的大时代下自我意识觉醒的一次大的提升，一次全民自发的集体性的自我赶超，一次从下到上，由民众自觉自发的创富运动。它让一代人开始有了自我意识的觉醒，并帮助我们这个国家更好的开放，更好的用世界通行的商业语言进行沟通。
