In 2050 there will be 9.3 billion people alive - compared with 7
billion today - and the number will still be rising. The population
aged over sixty-five will have more than doubled, to more than 16
per cent; China's GDP will be 80 per cent more than America's; and
the number of cars on India's roads will have increased by 3,880
per cent. And, in 2050 it should be clear whether we are alone in
the universe. What other megachanges can we expect - and what will
their impact be? This comprehensive and compelling book will cover

with each of its twenty chapters elegantly and authoritatively
outlined by Economist contributors, and rich in supporting facts
and figures. It will chart the rise and fall of fertility rates
across continents; how energy resources will change in light of new
technology, and how different nations will deal with major
developments in science and warfare. Megachange is essential
reading for anyone who wants to know what the next four decades
hold in store.
Designed as a companion to The Economist Style Guide, the
best-selling guide to writing style, The Economist Numbers Guide is
invaluable for everyone who has to work with numbers, which in
today's commercially focussed world means most managers. In
addition to general advice on basic numeracy, the guide points out
common errors and explains the recognised techniques for solving
financial problems, analysing information of any kind, forecasting
and effective decision making. Over 100 charts, graphs, tables and
feature boxes highlight key points, and great emphasis is put on
the all-important aspect of how you present and communicate
numerical information effectively and honestly. At the back of the
book is an extensive A-Z dictionary of terms covering everything
from amortisation to zero-sum game. Whatever your business,
whatever your management role, for anyone who needs a good head for
figures The Economist Numbers Guide will prove invaluable.

++++ The Life And Adventures Of The Old Lady Of Threadneedle Street
the Bank Of England. By W. Reid]. William Reid (political
economist.)
The rapid rise in importance of the role of the chief financial
officer--from back-office accountant to front-line executive--is
unrivaled by that of any other corporate position. With access to
every facet of the business, CFOs now wield a level of influence
matched only by chief executives.
This book explains how CFOs earned their privileged status, and
what the future may hold for them. It describes their
ever-expanding role, and how they are reshaping their departments
to help them deal with that transformation. Insights from current
and former CFOs provide a first-hand perspective on finance
leaders' aspirations and doubts. It is a useful reference for
finance chiefs seeking to learn from peers and benchmark their own
performance; for those looking to build a career in the C-Suite;
for managers seeking to improve their relationship with the finance
department; for service providers--banks, accountancies and
consulting firms--and anyone else who wants to get on the good side
of the keeper of the corporate checkbook.
"The Economist: Marketing for Growth" is a guide to how marketing
can and should become a business's most important driver of growth.
Marketers play a crucial role in generating revenue, and they can
play an equally important role in how revenues translate into
profit. They can help a company achieve growth by being smarter or
more efficient than its competitors, and do so in a sustainable
way. Marketers have their ear to the ground and therefore are often
the first to pick up on changing customer needs and behavior, and
the forces at play in markets. This informs the development and
improvement of products, processes and standard of service.
The book explores how to identify the most valuable customers, the
most effective ways to drive revenue growth, and the best ways to
improve profitability. It combines insight and practical guidance,
and is supported by a wealth of hard data and anecdotal evidence
from a wide range of business in Britain, America, Europe and Asia,
including Amazon, China Mobile, Dove, Goldman Sachs, Haier, ING
Direct, Lenovo, Mini, Procter & Gamble, Red Bull, Target,
Twitter, Virgin and Zara.
