Bestselling Chicken Soup author Mark Victor Hansen and financial guru Robert Allen offer a practical inspiring lesson in creating true wealth whether you aspire to become a millionaire or simply beat credit-card debt and have enough money to live on without worrying. Two books for the price of one! On the right side of the page is Hansen's fable of Michelle, a widowed mother whose life is on the brink of ruin; unless she can raise a million dollars quickly she will lose custody of her children. On the left hand side are Robert Allen's rules for achieving financial success. His advice parallels the action in Michelle's story, as he urges readers to identify their fears and doubts, and eliminate from their lives all the roadblocks that limit their potential. They'll learn how to transform Restraining Forces into Driving Forces- whether their goal, like Michelle's, is to become a millionaire or just simply to save money for the future. Together these two halves of The One Minute Millionaire work as a powerful tool of self-discovery, an inspirational lesson in unlocking the winner in everyone.

An essential resource for workers navigating their retirement and pension options, from the labor organizer's perspective. Researching retirement plans should not take the rest of your life, even if deciphering the relevant paperwork seems to have become a full-time job. Deliberately elaborate legalese is obscuring the efforts of financial elites to seize control of workers' collective retirement savings--and The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans is here to translate. Neoliberal retirement reforms have escalated elites' efforts to replace guaranteed workplace retirement plans with weak 401(k)-like savings accounts and risky stock market investment schemes. The result is arguably the largest source of labor value expropriation over the last four decades. In light of all this, what do workers need to know as they assess their future prospects--especially in terms of the security their retirement plans may or may not bring? What should union activists keep in mind as they push for the national and workplace reforms needed to produce greater retirement security? This nuts-and-bolts book provides a much-needed demystification of the retirement system. Even more than that The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans enables us to take charge of our own personal futures, as a first step towards taking back what belongs to us all.

Tales from Albarado revisits times of excitement and loss in early 1990s Albania, in which about a dozen pyramid firms collapsed and caused the country to fall into anarchy and a near civil war. To gain a better understanding of how people from all walks of life came to invest in these financial schemes and how these schemes became intertwined with everyday transactions, dreams, and aspirations, Smoki Musaraj looks at the materiality, sociality, and temporality of financial speculations at the margins of global capital. She argues that the speculative financial practices of the schemes were enabled by official financial infrastructures (such as the postsocialist free-market reforms), by unofficial economies (such as transnational remittances), as well as by historically specific forms of entrepreneurship, transnational social networks, and desires for a European modernity. Overall, these granular stories of participation in the Albanian schemes help understand neoliberal capitalism as a heterogeneous economic formation that intertwines capitalist and noncapitalist forms of accumulation and investment.

Das Thema Geld fA1/4llt bereits zahlreiche Bibliotheken. Angesichts der aktuellen weltpolitischen und auch wirtschaftlichen Geschehnisse steigen die A ngste und Unsicherheiten der Menschen betreffend ihre finanzielle Zukunft. Sie sorgen sich um ihre Jobs, ihre Altersversorgung, den Euro, den Fortbestand der FinanzmArkte, machen sich Gedanken, was ihre diversen Versicherungen spAter noch wert sein mAgen, ob sie ihren gewohnten Lebensstandard halten kAnnen. Viele malen sich diverse geistige Katastrophenszenarien aus und erstarren in von Sorge getriebenen Gedankenmustern. Andere wiederum verfA1/4gen A1/4ber ausreichende Mittel, sind aber in der TretmA1/4hle des Geldverdienens dermaA en heftig verhaftet und verstrickt, dass sie keine Zeit mehr haben, richtig und bewusst zu leben. Kurz gesagt: Gelassenheit und ein entspannter Umgang mit Geld sehen anders aus. Es ist an der Zeit fA1/4r ein neues Denken in all diesen Bereichen, vor allem zum Thema Geld. "More than money" basiert auf einem ungewAhnlichen Ansatz fA1/4r die brisante Thematik Geld. Es zeigt nicht, wie man MillionAr wird. Es enthAlt keine Investment-Tipps oder BArsenstrategien. Und es zeigt auch nicht, wie HaushaltsbA1/4cher effizient gefA1/4hrt werden. "More than money" schildert den individuellen und sicher nicht immer einfachen Weg, wie wir alle einen wirklich entspannten Umgang mit Geld erreichen kAnnen - vAllig unabhAngig davon, wie viel Geld wir tatsAchlich im Moment besitzen. Andreas Enrico Brell beschreibt in diesem Buch den individuellen Weg zu mehr Geld und gleichzeitig zu mehr Zeit, zu mehr LebensqualitAt, zu besseren Beziehungen, erhAhter Gelassenheit und vor allem zu einer ganzheitlichen ErfA1/4llung und GlA1/4ck im Leben. Hierzu bedarf es einer neuen Einstellung, dem neuen Denken zu und A1/4ber Geld. Er ist davon A1/4berzeugt, dass Geldnot immer nur das AuA ere Anzeichen eines viel tiefer liegenden Verhaltensmusters darstellt. Wer es schafft, diese Verhaltensmuster zu Andern, Andert damit automatisch auch den persAnlichen Umgang mit der Materie Geld. Der Leser lernt, wie er mit dem wichtigen "Gut" Geld - vor allem auch gedanklich - maA voll, optimal, entspannt aber doch konsequent und zielorientiert umgeht. Dieses Buch liefert allen, die mit Geld zu tun haben - also uns allen - nachweislich pragmatisch wirksame, vom Autor in seiner langjAhrigen Praxis als Finanzmakler erprobte Einsichten und AnsAtze, langfristig in Bezug auf die Materie Geld wirklich sorgfAltig, verlAsslich, aber gleichzeitig auch entspannt und gelassen zu denken und zu agieren und dabei auch alle anderen Lebensbereiche erfA1/4llend auszubalancieren. Es geht im Wesentlichen um diese fA1/4nf Lebensbereiche: Zeit, Gesundheit, Beruf, Beziehungen und eben Finanzen. Das Buch behandelt diese Bereiche aus der Sicht von Geld und zeigt klar auf, dass erst dann, wenn alle diese Bereiche in Balance sind, ein wirklich entspanntes Leben entsteht. Andreas Enrico Brell zeigt, dass dies nur funktioniert, wenn wir auch unsere Gedanken und GefA1/4hle, persAnlichen Werte und den eigentlichen Sinn des Lebens in den Vordergrund dieses neuen Denkens stellen.

Bestselling author John Talbott outlines the troublesome economic times ahead and what can be done about them

Tough times are here, and author John Talbott-who accurately predicted the dot.com technology stock collapse as well as the recent housing, mortgage, and financial crises-argues that the coming global recession will be unlike anything we've ever seen.

In "Contagion, " Talbott turns his attention to this crisis and offers insights on what can be done to navigate such treacherous terrain. Talbott sets the stage by discussing how government borrowing and spending on the war, healthcare, Social Security, and corporate giveaways combined with dramatic increases in personal spending, fueled by credit card and mortgage debt, have funded unsustainable levels of personal and government consumption.Offers practical suggestions as to how investors and homeowners can best weather this storm with straightforward advice on where to investExamines real estate and housing issues to help you make the best decisions possible in this arenaDetails the best ways to utilize stocks, bonds, TIPS, and commodities, and to prosper during this global crisisIf you really want to protect yourself from the unfolding economic crisis, then "Contagion" is the book you need to read.

The costs of global warming and its mitigation will have a major impact on equity market performance over the next two decades. As the climate changes, investors will need to understand which are the best-positioned market sectors and stocks as well as those to avoid. Hot Stocks provides a roadmap detailing how to invest in this new reality. It evaluates the many ways global warming will affect profit flows in the economy: Impacts of a warmer climate, rising ocean levels, more frequent extreme storm events, land desertification and ocean acidification. Potential for government taxation on greenhouse gas emissions. Accelerating switching to renewable power systems that are increasingly cost competitive with those powered by oil fossil fuels. Government bans on sales of cars powered by internal combustion engines and the electrification of the terrestrial vehicle fleet. Potential for hydrocarbon reserves and equipment becoming impaired or 'stranded assets'. Rising demand for major infrastructure projects to protect valuable coastal real estate from inundation. Litigation aimed at forcing legacy polluters to pay mitigation costs. The book drills down on how these myriad changes will depress or support stocks in sectors such as the petroleum industry, automakers, renewable power providers, regional banking, property insurance, heavy equipment manufacturers, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and agricultural chemicals. The analysis then pivots away from a US-centric focus to identify those nations around the world whose economies are best positioned to successfully adjust to the impact of rising prevailing temperatures, as well as those likely to suffer the most from the trend. Hot Stocks introduces readers to investing in ways that that will likely succeed as the world warms, climates change, populations move, and businesses change. Accessibly written and well-researched, this work is for the novice and the seasoned investor alike.
