much-needed call for a reassessment of how we build our portfolios

human' Guy Spier Billionaire investors. If we think of them, it's
with a mixture of awe and suspicion. Clearly, they possess a kind
of genius - the proverbial Midas Touch. But are the skills they

have anything to teach us besides making money? In Richer, Wiser,
Happier, award-winning journalist William Green has spent nearly
twenty-five years interviewing these investing wizards and
discovered that their talents expand well beyond the financial
realm and into practical philosophy. Green ushers us into the lives
of more than forty of the world's super-investors, visiting them in
their offices, vacation homes, and even their places of worship -
all to share what they have to teach us. Green brings together the
thinking of some of the best investors, from Warren Buffett to
Howard Marks to John Templeton, and provides gems of insight that
will enrich you not only financially but also professionally and
personally.

The subject of investment relationships between the European Union
and China is an increasingly vital topic to understand, yet
academic literature has until now been underexplored. Bringing
together expert contributors, this book provides a critical
analysis of the current law and policy between the EU and China,
which will prove to be vital in the field of international economic
law. Divided into three parts, this book deals with the key issues
of the EU-China investment partnership and its implications, both
internally and internationally. Each chapter in China-European
Union Investment Relationships covers a core theme of the subject
of international economic law, including competition law, financial
regulation, economic integration and dispute resolution. Covering
the key topics in the area, and drawing diverse perspectives into a
single collection, this book is an important resource for scholars
and practitioners in legal and policy fields, and will be
invaluable for students of trade and investment law to understand
in more detail human rights and environmental law and policy.

The paperback of the critically acclaimed popular history book: the
story of the South Sea Bubble which in Balen's hands becomes a
morality tale for our times. A classic collision of political
ambition, mercenary greed and financial revolution. The early years
of the 18th-century produced two great monuments: one, Christopher
Wren's new cathedral of St Paul's, an enduring testament to
principled craft and masterful construction; the other, an empty
fraud of such magnitude that its collapse threatened to overturn
monarchies and governments. Its failure delayed the introduction of
modern market economies by two generations. Yet the full scale of
this monumental deceit was quietly covered up and hidden, its
enduring legacy a poorly understood colloquialism: the South Sea
Bubble. It was all planned by one ambitious promoter, who had
decided to launch 'a company for carrying on an undertaking of
great advantage, but nobody to know what it is'. This
eighteenth-century mission statement has now acquired an almost
uncanny resonance: these words could aptly have been applied to the
bursting of the internet bubble and the collapse of Enron. With the
financial scandals that have beset global companies recently, such
as Rank Xerox and Worldcom, this tale is all the more relevant
today. Balen reveals the full story of corruption and scandal that
attended the birth of the first shareholder economy, and with it
uncovers a parable for our times.

Darius Foroux comes an approach to building wealth that applies ancient
wisdom to the chaos of modern-day markets
The Stoics understood that if you can control your reactions and manage
your emotions, you can achieve success. The same principles apply to
our financial lives today. The greatest investors approach the markets
with discipline, emotional distance, and self-mastery--lessons that the
Stoics have been teaching us for thousands of years.
Combining ancient wisdom with practical investment strategies drawn
from analysis of the greatest investors of all time, The Stoic Path to
Wealth will teach you how to:
- cultivate an investing edge by managing your emotions and
developing your unique skills and talents
- develop the discipline to ignore short-term market fluctuations
and avoid living in the future
- foster a mindset that allows you to enjoy what you have and avoid
greed
- create a sustainable approach to trading
As financial markets become increasingly unpredictable and chaotic, The
Stoic Path to Wealth offers the key to weathering any economic storm
while building wealth that will last a lifetime and beyond.
This book is not deep research work, as I am not a Ph.D. professor at
any international university.
I was a teacher. I was also a real estate investor. And now I am a
fulltime writer. Nevertheless, I am also research addicted reading two
books per month.
Moreover, as I studied Macroeconomics, I found out that the world has
been threatened by a new virus, the decentralized digital virus.
Metaverse, Decentraland, blockchain, bitcoin standard, smart contracts,
protocols, nodes, tokens, and halvings suddenly invaded my eyes with
such a power that I had to understand what the hell was that about. If
you do not know what these concepts are, you are in the right place.
Some of these articles are controversial, others you might agree with,
but most of them try to explain how the world is shifting into a fully
digital mode.
Central banks and governments are trying to keep the boat afloat in a
perfect MMT style, while politicians still do not quite understand how
the moneyprinting machine works. They keep saying we need raise taxes
to pay the debt when the government is the only issuer, so it cannot
become insolvent.
With deflationary pressure from technological innovations, the need for
fresh money puts central banks in the red to control inflation.
Covid-19 hit hard on every economy, but only the issuers can control
the orchestra. Straightforwardly, as a non-native writer, I will try to
give you a perspective about how the world is changing, from analog to
digital, from the real world to the metaverse, with a fascinating
silent war between centralized money printing power and decentralized
fully digital crypto ecosystems.
