It is well known that with 1.3 billion mouths to feed, China’s market is moving quickly toward surpassing North America and Europe combined. Companies from the U.S. and across the globe are flocking there to buy, sell, manufacture and create new products. But as former The Wall Street Journal China bureau chief turned successful corporate executive James McGregor explains, business in China is conducted with much subterfuge -- nothing is as it seems and nothing about business in China is easy. Quickly becoming the bible for anybody doing business in China, One Billion Customers shows how to navigate the often treacherous waters of Chinese deal making. Brilliantly written by an author who has lived in China for nearly two decades, the book reveals indispensable, street-smart strategies, tactics, and lessons for succeeding in the world’s fastest growing consumer market. Foreign companies rightly fear that Chinese partners, customers or suppliers will steal their technology or trade secrets or simply pick their pockets. Testy relations between China’s Communist leaders and the U.S. and other democracies can trap foreign companies in a political crossfire. McGregor has seen or experienced it all, and now he shares his insights about how China really works. One Billion Customers maximizes the expansive knowledge of a respected journalist, well-known businessman, and ultimate China insider, offering compelling narratives of personalities, business deals, and lessons learned—from Morgan Stanley’s creation of a joint-venture Chinese investment bank to the pleasure dome of a smuggler whose $6 billion operation demonstrates how corruption greases the wheels of Chinese commerce. With nearly one hundred strategies for conducting business in China, this unprecedented account combines practical lessons with the story of China’s remarkable rise to power.
亚当·斯密并不是经济学说的最早开拓者，他最著名的思想中有许多也并非新颖独特，但是他首次提出了全面系统的经济学说，为该领域的发展打下了良好的基础。因此完全可以说《国富论》是现代政治经济学研究的起点。 《国富论》远远不是一部通常所认为的学术论文。虽然斯密也劝说放任自由，但他的论证却更多地是反对政府干预和反对垄断；虽然他赞扬贪欲的结果，却又几乎总是鄙视商人的行为和策略。他也不认为商业制度本身是完全值得赞美的。
《经济学原理》(上)著者马歇尔（1842-1924）是著名的资产阶级庸俗经济学家，是资产阶级经济学英国“剑桥学派”的创始人。《经济学原理》是马歇尔的主要著作。在《经济学原理》(上)中，他把各种庸俗经济理论——供求论、生产费用论和边际效用论等等，凑合成一种折衷主义的理论体系，建立了“均衡价格论”和以这个理论为基础的分配论。
Join journalist Barry Werth as he pulls back the curtain on Vertex, a start-up pharmaceutical company, and witness firsthand the intense drama being played out in the pioneering and hugely profitable field of drug research. Founded by Joshua Boger, a dynamic Harvard- and Merck-trained scientific whiz kid, Vertex is dedicated to designing-- atom by atom-- both a new life-saving immunosuppressant drug, and a drug to combat the virus that causes AIDS. You will be hooked from start to finish, as you go from the labs, where obsessive, fiercely competitive scientists struggle for a breakthrough, to Wall Street, where the wheeling and dealing takes on a life of its own, as Boger courts investors and finally decides to take Vertex public. Here is a fascinating no-holds-barred account of the business of science, which includes an updated epilogue about the most recent developments in the quest for a drug to cure AIDS.
(中文版为《激荡三十年》) The rise of China s economy over the past thirty years is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable events in human history. People outside China consider the country s amazing transformation a mystery. Those inside China have been challenged with a colossal task taking more than 1.3 billion people from an agrarian existence into the modern world in the face of intense conflicts of interest and complicated domestic and international economic situation. No nation ever did it before; none will ever do it again. This book presents, through vivid language and hundreds of photographs covering diverse aspects of Chinese society, a wide array of significant events and influential figures that have profoundly impacted the course of China s development from 1978 through 2008. Examples include the fall of the Gang of Four, the establishment of Lenovo, the country s first special economic zone, China s entry into the WTO, the Sichuan Earthquake, and the Beijing Olympic Games.
