Taking the Floor : Models, Morals, and Management in a Wall Street Trading Room / Daniel BEUNZA / Princeton University Press (2019)
Titre : Taking the Floor : Models, Morals, and Management in a Wall Street Trading Room Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Daniel BEUNZA Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2019 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780691204772 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Debates about financial reform have led to the recognition that a healthy financial system doesn't depend solely on how it is structured?organizational culture matters as well. Based on extensive research in a Wall Street derivatives-trading room, Taking the Floor considers how the culture of financial organizations might change in order for them to remain healthy, even in times of crises. In particular, Daniel Beunza explores how the extensive use of financial models and trading technologies over the recent decades has exerted a far-ranging and troubling influence on Wall Street. How have models reshaped financial markets? How have models altered moral behavior in organizations? Beunza takes readers behind the scenes in a bank unit that, within its firm, is widely perceived to be a class act, and he considers how this trading room unit might serve as a blueprint solution for the ills of Wall Street's unsustainable culture. Beunza demonstrates that the integration of traders across desks reduces the danger of blind spots created by models. Warning against the risk of moral disengagement posed by the use of models, he also contends that such disengagement could be avoided by instituting moral norms and social relations. Providing a unique perspective on a complex subject, Taking the Floor profiles what an effective, responsible trading room can and should look like.

Titre : The Case against Education : Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money Ed. 2 Type de document : e-book Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2019 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780691196459 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Why we need to stop wasting public funds on education Despite being immensely popular?and immensely lucrative?education is grossly overrated. Now with a new afterword by Bryan Caplan, this explosive book argues that the primary function of education is not to enhance students' skills but to signal the qualities of a good employee. Learn why students hunt for easy As only to forget most of what they learn after the final exam, why decades of growing access to education have not resulted in better jobs for average workers, how employers reward workers for costly schooling they rarely ever use, and why cutting education spending is the best remedy. Romantic notions about education being "good for the soul" must yield to careful research and common sense?The Case against Education points the way.

Titre : The Central Asian Economies in the Twenty-First Century Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Richard POMFRET Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2019 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780691182216 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This book analyzes the Central Asian economies of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, from their buffeting by the commodity boom of the early 2000s to its collapse in 2014. Richard Pomfret examines the countries’ relations with external powers and the possibilities for development offered by infrastructure projects as well as rail links between China and Europe.The transition of these nations from centrally planned to market-based economic systems was essentially complete by the early 2000s, when the region experienced a massive increase in world prices for energy and mineral exports. This raised incomes in the main oil and gas exporters, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan; brought more benefits to the most populous country, Uzbekistan; and left the poorest countries, the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan, dependent on remittances from migrant workers in oil-rich Russia and Kazakhstan. Pomfret considers the enhanced role of the Central Asian nations in the global economy and their varied ties to China, the European Union, Russia, and the United States. With improved infrastructure and connectivity between China and Europe (reflected in regular rail freight services since 2011 and China’s announcement of its Belt and Road Initiative in 2013), relaxation of United Nations sanctions against Iran in 2016, and the change in Uzbekistan’s presidency in late 2016, a window of opportunity appears to have opened for Central Asian countries to achieve more sustainable economic futures.

Titre : The Code of Capital : How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Katharina PISTOR Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2019 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780691178974 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : A compelling explanation of how the law shapes the distribution of wealth Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. What is it, exactly, that transforms mere wealth into an asset that automatically creates more wealth? The Code of Capital explains how capital is created behind closed doors in the offices of private attorneys, and why this little-known fact is one of the biggest reasons for the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else. In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively "codes" certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capital and lawyers are the keepers of the code. Pistor describes how they pick and choose among different legal systems and legal devices for the ones that best serve their clients' needs, and how techniques that were first perfected centuries ago to code landholdings as capital are being used today to code stocks, bonds, ideas, and even expectations?assets that exist only in law. A powerful new way of thinking about one of the most pernicious problems of our time, The Code of Capital explores the different ways that debt, complex financial products, and other assets are coded to give financial advantage to their holders. This provocative book paints a troubling portrait of the pervasive global nature of the code, the people who shape it, and the governments that enforce it.

Titre : The Diversity Bonus : How Great Teams Pay Off in the Knowledge Economy Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Scott PAGE Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2019 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780691191539 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : How businesses and other organizations can improve their performance by tapping the power of differences in how people think
What if workforce diversity is more than simply the right thing to do? What if it can also improve the bottom line? It can. The Diversity Bonus shows how and why. Scott Page, a leading thinker, writer, and speaker whose ideas and advice are sought after by corporations, nonprofits, universities, and governments, makes a clear and compelling practical case for diversity and inclusion. He presents overwhelming evidence that teams that include different kinds of thinkers outperform homogenous groups on complex tasks, producing what he calls ?diversity bonuses.? These bonuses include improved problem solving, increased innovation, and more accurate predictions?all of which lead to better results. Drawing on research in economics, psychology, computer science, and many other fields, The Diversity Bonus also tells the stories of businesses and organizations that have tapped the power of diversity to solve complex problems. The result changes the way we think about diversity at work?and far beyond.
