A seasoned executive with four decades of experience in the institutional investment management business, Donald H. Young observes that most people are not happy with the financial security that they have achieved so far. They seem to be paralyzed into doing nothing because of the overwhelming amount of information available to them.

Filling a critical need that hasn't been adequately addressed with the bewildering array of both general and very specific books on achieving financial security, You Can Do It provides an educational background and then a step-by-step comprehensive analysis to help you achieve your financial objectives, including:

Outlining key concepts

Setting objectives

Constructing balance sheets

Managing cash flow

Preparing budgets

Buying appropriate insurance

Planning for retirement

Creating necessary documents for managing personal affairs.

Presented in an easy-to-understand manner, You Can Do It should be read as a whole, not as individual chapters. Key exhibits and a summary at the end of each chapter, which Young calls the Bottom Line, facilitate the understanding process. The only requirements for success are personal involvement and commitment on your part. After reading and implementing the recommendations of Young, you will have created a level of financial security to enable you to achieve your financial objectives.

A volume in Research in Public Management Series Editors: Lawrence R. Jones, Naval Postgraduate School This book follows the evolution of a model for quick and efficient national defense war fighting asset acquisition during time of war. It documents the case of a critically important war fighting acquisition program from initial needs identification and program start in 2006 through production and fielding in the period 2007- 2010. The analysis focuses on the entire process of acquisition and contracting from concept development through getting the weapons system into action in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. The Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles program (MRAP) is a rapid acquisition program procured within the context of the US Department of Defense's Acquisition Management and Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) framework. The analysis in this book answers the following question: What are the key factors that explain the success of the MRAP program, with success defined as meeting program objectives and warfighter needs? In addition, this book addresses the critical trade-offs made within the MRAP program to develop it rapidly, and some of the potential long-term impacts of these decisions, both positive and negative, for rapid defense asset acquisition in time of war.

International Trade Subsidy Rules and Tax and Financial Export Incentives is an inquiry into the interrelations between international trade subsidy rules and the use of tax and financial export incentives by developing countries. Its central claim is that developing countries should be allowed to adopt - based on their right to development - certain such incentives without violating the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules concerning subsidies. It advances the idea that the right to development of developing and least-developed countries (LDCs) entitles them to use tax and financial export incentives vis- -vis comparatively more developed nations. However, in order to actualize this right, the existing WTO regulations must go through a process of revision. This process should craft an exception, available exclusively to developing countries and LDCs, allowing them to apply fiscal and financial export incentives against countries with a higher level of development, without being accused of granting prohibited subsidies. As a result of this policy reform, the WTO itself would incorporate development and fair/just trade concerns into its regulatory framework, providing an exceptional treatment for a patently exceptional situation. In doing so, the WTO would be contributing to a more equal international trade scene and a more developed and freer world.

How We Prevent Wealth: A Personal Finance Reflection, is a personal finance book that every young professional must read. Its author reflects on why, after being in the work force for 12 years, he has not amassed the amount of net worth that he should have had, relative to his current lifetime earnings. Instead of being well within the net worth range proposed by Stanley and Danko, in their best-selling book, The Millionaire Next Door, he realized that he had made a series of detrimental, common financial mistakes that too often traps many young professionals into a world that is surround by debt and other financial stressors. In How We Prevent Wealth: A Personal Finance Reflection, the author personalizes almost every chapter to bring a sense of reality, not theory, to how easily one may actually build wealth. He talks about how his own mistakes, such as his impulsive spending habits, multiple car purchases, disagreements with his spouse about money, ignorance of investing, long term mortgage payments, and among other things, getting caught in "the upgrade cycle," drastically minimized the amount of money that could have been used to add to purposeful, measurable, and realistic wealth building goals. How We Prevent Wealth: A Personal Finance Reflection Takes a critical look at: The author's personal relationship with money How we find ourselves deeply in debt Why we never seem to have any money The renting vs buying a home concept A realistic and simple plan to retire in order to truly enjoy our golden years Teaches: What a budget is and how to maintain it How to set effective financial goals; goals that are measurable, purposeful, and realistic How to get out of debt concepts How to save for retirement using a retirement income stream approach How to deal with a partner with different money values Challenges readers to: Define what wealth means to them Qualitatively and quantitatively analyze how much to spend for college Leverage education, whether formal or informal Understand the fundamentals of investing prior to trying to beat the "experts" Master the basics of personal finance The books philosophy on how not to "prevent wealth" is simple and far from restrictive, and is as follows: 1. Define what wealth means to you. 2. Determine what needs to happen to bring wealth within your reach. 3. Set effective financial goals to meet your personal definition of wealth. 4. Reevaluate your goals as necessary. "Determining what needs to happen to bring wealth within our reach," is the basis for How We Prevent Wealth: A Personal Finance Reflection. The earlier we make this determination, the wealthier we may become.
