More than 60 000 readers can attest to finding Making Money out of Property an indispensable guide to investing in the lucrative South African property market. This bestselling property book has been updated to include the most current tax requirements and the latest developments relating to the local property market.

Author and property expert Jason Lee sets out every step of the property-investing process, including how to find the right deals, how to negotiate and finance a property, and whether to hold on to or sell a property for financial gain. This book focuses on some of the professionals’ best-kept secrets, such as how to utilise agreements of sale, property investment structures, financing options and key economic factors influencing the property cycle.

The Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008), as now amended by the Companies Amendment Act (No. 3 of 2011), introduced many concepts, principles and rules that were foreign to South Africa's common law. However, the new Act does not indicate clearly to what extent it replaces the common law. Corporate Law For Commerce Students is thus a much-needed guide to the structure and fundamentals of the new company regime.

Corporate Law For Commerce Students covers three types of business venture, namely partnerships, companies and close corporations, which each carry different rights and obligations, and ultimately liabilities, for the entrepreneur. It discusses, inter alia, how to choose the right option for a specific business; the partnership concept, the establishment of a legal personality; compliance, transparency and accountability; shares, securities, stock and debt instruments; fundamental transactions, takeovers and offers; business rescue and compromise with creditors; and termination and dissolution - all within the framework of the new Companies Act and the common law. It includes figures, tables and mind maps to clarify each topic, and provides assessments at the end of each chapter.

Corporate Law For Commerce Students is aimed both at students who are studying Commercial Law, Business Entities or Corporate Law and practising accountants and auditors.

Filled with anecdotes, observations and interviews, the book takes an entertaining and accessible look at how Bitcoin made its mark, how its technology is being re-purposed to enable a revolution, and (in non-technical terms) how it all works.

It explores how these new crypto “life-forms” will interact with the rest of the virtual and physical world, while making some very rich and some very poor.

Within these pages, readers will uncover a treasure of wisdom and guidance curated into powerful principles which unlock the secrets of sustainable wealth. From identifying their life's purpose to cultivating the habits of prosperity and adopting an abundance mindset, each chapter covers a vital aspect of the journey toward enduring financial security. These principles offer both key knowledge and practical tools to construct a life of wealth that will endure the test of time.

From veteran Amazon reporter for The Wall Street Journal, The Everything War is the first untold, devastating exposé of Amazon's endless strategic greed, its pursuit of total domination, by any means necessary, and the growing efforts to stop it.

For over twenty years, Amazon was the quintessential American success story, whilst its “customer obsession” approach made it indelibly attractive to consumers across the globe. But the company was not benevolent; it operated\ in ways that ensured it stayed on top, coming to dominate over a dozen industries beyond retail, growing voraciously by abusing data, exploiting partners, copying competitors, and avoiding taxes—leveraging its power to extract whatever it could, at any cost and without much scrutiny. Until now.

With unparalleled access, and having interviewed hundreds of people – from Amazon executives to competitors to small businesses who rely on its marketplace to survive – Dana Mattioli exposes how Amazon was driven by a competitive edge to dominate every industry it entered, bulldozed all who stood in its way, reshaped the retail landscape, transformed how Wall Street evaluates companies, and altered the very nature of the global economy.

In 2023, the Federal Trade Commission filed a monopoly lawsuit against Amazon in what may become one of the largest antitrust cases in the 21st century.

As Amazon’s supremacy is finally challenged, The Everything War is the definitive, inside story of how it grew into one of the most powerful and feared companies in the world – and why this is the most consequential business story of our times.

The Law of Corporate Finance discusses, from a company law perspective, the provisions of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 relating to the field of shares, securities, and corporate finance. There have, thus far, been few major decisions of the courts providing guidance on this technical branch of company law. The Law of Corporate Finance unpacks the complexity of this field of law, while also examining the Companies Regulations and the common law principles preserved by the Companies Act. It offers a lucid and comprehensive treatment of this notoriously difficult subject. The Law of Corporate Finance is written to provide guidance to a wide range of persons seeking a proper grasp of both the principles of corporate finance as well as their practical application - from the judiciary, legal practitioners and legal advisors to auditors and accountants, from company directors and company secretaries to academics and students, whether undergraduate or postgraduate. The major company law topics in the field of corporate finance are discussed and analysed in this book. A highlight of The Law of Corporate Finance is that it includes a discussion of the legal remedies available to investors when the rules relating to corporate finance have been flouted. A further highlight is the practical examples that illustrate how corporate finance rules work and their shortcomings in specific situations. Due to the rapid globalisation of corporate law, a treatment of the legal position in leading foreign jurisdictions has been included, particularly those that have moulded the provisions of the South African Companies Act. These include English law, US law, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand law. This unique perspective provides an invaluable insight into the interpretation and application of the corporate finance provisions of the South African Act. Anyone seeking to understand the complex corporate finance rules will find this book to be useful and illuminating.
