AGE OF FALLIBILITY: CONSEQUENCES OF THE WAR ON TERROR by SOROS, GEORGE (Hardcover - 2006)
ISBN: 9781586483593
Subject: CURRENT AFFAIRS
Publisher: PUBLIC AFFAIRS USA

George Soros made billions anticipating seismic changes in the financial markets and has used that money to try to change the world. In this book he brings that commitment to the subject that has preoccupied him since 2001: the state of America. He looks at the fatal flaws not merely of the current administration – with whim his antagonism is well documented – but with the wider American view of the world. At seventy-five, George Soros is clear about the major themes of our time – the threats to our civilization such as nuclear proliferation, global warming, terrorism and counter terrorism, and the breakdown of international cooperation. He is determined to address them, and, in The Age Of Fallibility, he does so with impassioned eloquence.

BILLIONAIRE WHO WASN'T: HOW CHUCK FEENEY SECRETLY MADE AND GAVE AWAY A FORTUNE by O'CLERY, CONOR (Hardcover - 2007)
ISBN: 9781586483913
Subject: BIOGRAPHY
Publisher: PUBLIC AFFAIRS USA

In 1988 Forbes Magazine hailed Chuck Feeney as the twenty-third richest American alive. Born to a blue-collar Irish-American family during the Depression, he had made a fortune as founder of Duty Free Shoppers, the world's largest duty-free retail chain. But secretly, Feeney had already transferred all his wealth to his foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies. Only in 1997, when he sold his duty free interests, was he "outed" as one of the greatest and most mysterious American philanthropists in modern times. A frugal man who travels economy class and does not own a house or a car, Feeney then went "underground" again, until he decided in 2005 to cooperate in a biography to promote giving-while-living. The Billionaire Who Wasn't is a tale of one of the greatest untold retail triumphs of the twentieth century, and of what happens to a unique man and his family when confronted with wealth beyond imagining.

CHINA: THE BALANCE SHEET - WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THE EMERGING SUPERPOWER by BERGSTEN, C. FRED (Hardcover - 2006)
ISBN: 9781586484644
Subject: CHINA
Publisher: PUBLIC AFFAIRS US

China’s remarkable growth has the potential to expand the size of the global economy, and with it global wealth, more than any other nation in history. However, China could also cause huge competitive problems for the United States and other more advanced countries. Or China could collapse under the weight of its own domestic challenges. Similarly, China’s more proactive global engagement and rapid modernization of its military may lead it to become a responsible and productive global citizen. Or China could use its newfound influence to confront and undermine the interests of the United States and other powers, and challenge international norms. Will China’s rise result in a net economic and security benefit, or will it be a zero-sum game? CHINA: THE BALANCE SHEET is the fullest attempt to understand and describe the most important emerging power in the world.

CREATING A WORLD WITHOUT POVERTY: SOCIAL BUSINESS AND THE FUTURE OF CAPITALISM by YUNUS, MUHAMMAD (Paperback - 2007)
ISBN: 9781586485795
Subject: BUSINESS & FINANCE
Publisher: PUBLIC AFFAIRS USA

The winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize outlines his vision for a new business model that combines the power of free markets with the quest for a more humane world - and tells the inspiring stories of companies that are doing this work today. Over the last two decades, free markets have swept the globe, bringing with them enormous potential for positive change. But traditional capitalism cannot solve problems like inequality and poverty, because it is hampered by a narrow view of human nature in which people are one-dimensional beings concerned only with profit. In fact, human beings have many other drives and passions, including the spiritual, the social and the altruistic. "Creating a World Without Poverty" tells the stories of some of the earliest examples of social business, including Yunus's own Grameen Bank and reveals the next phase in a hopeful economic and social revolution that is already under way.
