Peter Spufford
Power and Profit: The Merchant in Medieval Europe

y.
Publisher:
Description: The earliest surviving check was drawn in 1365 by two Florentines to pay a draper for black cloth for a family funeral. In 1477 a confidence man persuaded a citizen of Cologne to buy shares in a nonexistent silver mine. From a thousand tiny facts like these, the fruit of nearly thirty years` research in the municipal archives, commercial records, account books, and letters of a dozen countries, Peter Spufford creates a revealing picture of the medieval business world. The book opens with the emergence of a European entrepreneurial class and the origins of modern banking, insurance, and borrowing. The wealth that generated these changes came largely from the royal courts and their demands for luxuries, demands that were met at the great international fairs. Practical problems?primitive transport, bad roads, dangerous Alpine passes, and the threat of robbery?were impressively surmounted. Key elements in the story are provided by the connection between cheap raw [detailed...]

Mancur Olson
Power and Prosperity: Outgrowing Communist and Capitalist Dictatorships

2000 y.
Publisher: Basic Books
Description: This final work by a world-renowned economist will take its place among the classics of political economy. Why do some economies do better than others? How does society encourage the kind of market economy that generates continually increasing incomes? How do particular styles of government affect economic performance? World-renowned economist Mancur Olson tackles these questions and others in what will surely be regarded as his magnum opus. Olson contends that governments can play an essential role in the development of markets. Reliable enforcement of private contracts and protection of individual rights to property depend on governments strong enough not to undermine them. His exploration of market-augmenting governments will stand as a cutting-edge work on economic growth and provide a useful framework in which to consider the Asian financial crisis and its aftermath. As Susan Lee noted in Forbes, his pioneering insights might have won a Nobel Prize for Olson had he lived a bit [detailed...]

Power and Response-ability: the human side of systems

2008 y.
Publisher:
Description: `Many of the common concepts of power in business are so close to perfectly wrong that it`s amazing any work happens at all` The physics definition of power is `the ability to do work`, most social definitions are closer to the ability to avoid it.

Linking the human side of systems into the architecture of the enterprise creates workplaces that are more effective, empowering and profitable for everyone involved. This enlightening and enlivening book explains the interplay of power, property and responsibility in the business context - how it works, why it doesn`t, and what to do about it. Topics covered include: - how to identify power in the workplace - both functional and dysfunctional - how to enhance responsibility and `response-ability` at work - how to resolve differences of scale, from `I` to `We` to `Us` to `Them` - how to avoid `power-traps` that could put the [detailed...]
