Book Description
Bestselling author and economist Jay W. Richards makes the definitive case for how the free market and individual responsibility can save the American Dream in an age of automation and mass disruption. For two and a half centuries, America has been held together by the belief that if you work hard and conduct yourself responsibly in this country, you will be able to prosper and leave a better life for your children. But over the past decade, that idea has come into crisis. A recession, the mass outsourcing of stable jobs, and a coming wave of automation that will replace millions of blue- and white-collar jobs alike have left many people worried that the game is rigged and that our best days are behind us. In this story-driven manifesto on the future of American work, Jay Richards argues that such thinking is counterproductive--making us more fragile, more dependent, and less equipped to succeed in a rapidly changing economy. If we're going to survive, we need a new model for how ordinary people can thrive in this age of mass disruption. Richards pulls back the curtain on what's really happening in our economy, dispatching myths about capitalism, greed, and upward mobility. And he tells the stories of how real individuals have begun to rebuild a culture of virtue, capitalizing on the skills that are most uniquely human: creativity, resilience, and empathy for the needs of others. Destined to take its place alongside classics like Economics in One Lesson, The Human Advantage is the essential book for understanding the future of American work, and how each of us can make this era of staggering change work on our behalf.

Book Description
A business biography of George Washington, focusing on his many innovations and inventions. George Washington: general, statesman...businessman? Most people don't know that Washington was one of the country's first true entrepreneurs, responsible for innovations in several industries. In George Washington, Entrepreneur, John Berlau presents a fresh, surprising take on our forefather's business pursuits. History has depicted Washington as a gifted general and political pragmatist, not an intellectual heavyweight. But he was a patron of inventors and inveterate tinkerer, and just as intelligent as Jefferson or Franklin. His library was filled with books on agriculture, history, and philosophy. He was the first to breed horses with donkeys to produce the American mule. On his estate, he grew countless varieties of trees and built a greenhouse full of exotic fruits, herbs, and plants. Unlike his Virginia neighbors who remained wedded to tobacco, Washington planted seven types of wheat. His state-of-the-art mill produced flour which he exported to Europe in sacks stamped "G. Washington"—one of the very first branded food products. Mount Vernon was also home to a distillery and became one of the largest American whiskey producers of the era. Berlau's portrait of Washington, drawn in large part from his journals and extensive correspondence, presents a side of him we haven't seen before. It is sure to delight readers of presidential biography and business history.

Book Description
Most of the time, the mindset of a foreign entrepreneur is preoccupied with perfecting the art of being successful, attending conferences, reading books, finding all sorts of inspirational quotes that drive up their ego to be self-employed. They are easily swayed by the "become your own boss" tagline which only scratch the surface of how hard it is to build a business abroad. They are easily fascinated by the success stories of building a social media company from a dorm room or building one of the world's most valuable company from a garage, but they forget to ask, where are the stories of their sleepless nights? Their journeys. How did they manage to be a father and an entrepreneur? Moreover, how did they find the perfect work-life balance? Did they deal with debts? Manage investor tantrums and build partnerships? Backed by research, Davies takes on the very fabrics of "Get Rich Quick Syndrome", "Get Rich or Die Trying", and "Dorm to Dollars" stories that have flushed the internet, the book provides in-depth analysis of what you need to be aware of to become a successful entrepreneur. The book captures the reality of the struggles of a foreign entrepreneur and highlights the 9 dependencies that can make or break the entrepreneur. The stories included in the book encompasses the real-life situations that Davies encountered while transitioning to Europe and his escapades from being a nobody to owning businesses. Foreignpreneur is a model for change of the basic mindset of an entrepreneur, that success should not be the de-facto thought when starting a business in a new society. Davies defines "Foreignpreneur." As an individual who owns or aspires to own a business in a new society where the culture, the people, the language and environment is different from what that individual is accustomed to. With over 10 years of experience as an entrepreneur and employee; the author argues that: "In business and to succeed in life, you will need to make hard decisions and painstakingly back those decisions. Becoming a business founder or an executive is hard, and building one as a foreigner is even harder." This book is ideal as self-help for --- startup founders, entrepreneurs, both those living abroad and in their local country, anyone who intends to think like a foreign entrepreneur or someone who wants to start a business or motivate themselves from the stories of others. * Reviews "Vibrant, educative, and motivating read! Every phase of the generic path of a foreign entrepreneur is captured; from first steps to hits and misses, as well as scaling up success!" -- Obinna Nwachukwu (Automotive Engineer at Bosch Magyarország & TEDx Speaker) "Foreignpreneur® gives you insight into the real-life of an entrepreneur and provides you the opportunity to learn from personal stories. It will prevent you from falling into the trap of the typical entrepreneur stories all over the internet, which doesn't show you the fundamentals of building a business, but rather, how cool it is to live a luxury life as a CEO. This book is a must-read before you hit roadblocks, which can be eliminated if you were aware of the information that's given to you in this book!" -- Samir Huseynzade (Application Developer) Why should you get this book? You may have thought about how to start a business at home or abroad? Perhaps, how to start a small business or a blog or how to start a conversation with a potential partner? However, you plan on moving to a new society in a couple of weeks? Which means targeting a new audience, or operating your business online from a different country? Without building a proper business strategy, knowledge of business economics, startup fundraising, international law, international relations, trade law, and advanced models and methodology like the lean startup analysis to transform your idea to profitability and become an international player in the market. You may fail!
