Excerpt: Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is a matter of life and death, a road to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected. The art of war, then, is governed by five constant factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations, when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field. These are (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth; (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline. The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that will they follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger. Heaven signifies night and day, cold and heat, times and seasons. Earth comprises distances, great and small; danger and security; open ground and narrow passes; the chances of life and death. The Commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerely, benevolence, courage and strictness. By method and discipline are to be understood the marshalling of the army in its proper subdivisions. Barbarians at the Gate - Brian Burrough and John Elyar Review: The leveraged buyout of the RJR Nabisco Corporation for $25 billion is a landmark in American business history, a story of avarice on an epic scale. Burrough and Helyar are clearly fascinated with the personalities of the players in the deal and with the trappings of corporate wealth. The restless, flamboyant personality of Ross Johnson, CEO of RJR Nabisco, is portrayed as the key to the events that were to unfold. This book is both the biography of CEO Ross Johnson and an analysis of why the planned LBO (leveraged buyout) went awry. Johnson initiated the LBO as a cheap way to consolidate his standing-and lost everything. Barbarians at the Gate addresses both the financial and human aspects of investment banking. Built to Last - James Collins and Jerry I. Porras Review: Built to Last became an
instant business classic. They set out to determine what's special about
"visionary" companies--the Disneys, Wal-Marts, and Mercks, companies at the very
top of their game that have demonstrated longevity and great brand image. The
authors compare 18 "visionary" picks to a control group of
"successful-but-second-rank" companies. Thus Disney is compared to Columbia
Pictures, Ford to GM, and so on. Review: Capital, one of Marx's major and most influential works, was the product of thirty years close study of the capitalist mode of production in England, the most advanced industrial society of his day. This new translation of Volume One, the only volume to be completed and edited by Marx himself, avoids some of the mistakes that have marred earlier versions and seeks to do justice to the literary qualities of the work. The introduction is by Ernest Mandel, author of Late Capitalism, one of the only comprehensive attempts to develop the theoretical legacy of Capital. |
