”A fun, fascinating, & original book that will challenge you to become a better version of yourself.” (Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive). What does it take to be truly happy? Should we pursue fame & fortune or the respect of our friends & family? How can we make the world a better place? Two hundred & fifty years ago, Adam Smith addressed these fundamental questions in his life-long project, The Theory of Modern Sentiments. Dwarfed by the success of Smith`s masterpiece The Wealth of Nations, The Theory of Modern Sentiments has been virtually forgotten. But when Russ Roberts finally picked up the epic tome, he realized he`d stumbled upon the greatest self-help book that almost no one has read. In How Adam Smith Can Change Your Life, Roberts reinvigorates the neglected classic to unearth a treasure trove of timeless, practical wisdom that cuts to the core of what it means to be human. It will challenge you to think about the way you treat others, the decisions you make in pursuit of happiness, & your place in the world. ...

How Asia Works

This is a provocative look at what has worked - and what hasn`t - in East Asian economics. Until the catastrophic economic crisis of the late 1990s, East Asia was perceived as a monolithic success story. But heady economic growth rates masked the most divided continent in the world - one half the most extraordinary developmental success story ever seen, the other half a paper tiger. Joe Studwell explores how policies ridiculed by economists created titans in Japan Korea and Taiwan, and are now behind the rise of China, while the best advice the West could offer sold its allies in south-east Asia down the economic river. The first book to offer an Asia-wide deconstruction of success and failure in economic development, Studwell`s latest work is provocative and iconoclastic - and
sobering reading for most of the world`s developing countries. ”How Asia Works” is a must-read book that packs powerful insights about the world`s most misunderstood continent.
